Superintendent E. c. Manson is back
at local railroad headquarters after Il

"Eyerything is running along

fine shape and is being fortified and
strengthened clear across the lake by
the several work trains employed.
"A fire Sunday afternoon at Hum
boldt, little station between Winnie
mucca and Sparks, destroyed a big
warehouse containing something over
million pounds Of sulphur. The prop
erty in It's entirety be:onged 10 the
Nevada Sulphur Mining company and
the warehouse was located between
the main line track and the single
side track OF the station The fire
probably originated from a spark on
the warehouse roof, and the long
building and huge pile OF sulphur made
a fire that was simply uncomfortable.
The sulphur melted anc covered the
adjacent ground with stream OF
burning fluid that simply ate up about
700 feet of railroad track. The fumes
from the burning sulphur made II I'm

MAYNARD YOUTH ESCAPES
SEVERE PUNISHMENT

Fred Irwin, the youth who was
caught In the act of rifling the pockets
OF a supposed drunken man, Saturday
evening. escaped serious trouble tn =
morning by pleading guilty 10 a charge
of disturbing the peace" and recelv-
ing sentence of five dayS on the
rock pile, the course and prosecuting
attorney being unaware, apparently,
OF the fellows acts which landed him
in jail. The fact that Irwin did not
succeed in robbing his prospective
victim of anything prevented the po-
lice from preferring a graver Charge
than that of disturbing the peace
Irwin was arrested Saturday night
by Officer Marlin. The latter had
been informed by Neils Larsen that
Irwin had been following him about
for some time, evidently seeking an
opportunity TO rob him. 1t was then
arranged between the two to give the
suspected one chance to turn the
contemplated trick
Larsen feigned drunkenness and
went staggering down the street, fol-
lowed by the officer at a safe distance.
Irwin took the scent" Immediately
and upon Larsen's reaching a dark
alley. where he stopped and apparent
ly dozed OFF to sleep, Irwin proceeded
to rob him him in the most approved
manner.
Officer Marlin appeared at the prop
er moment and arrested the amateur
thief

surface Notwithstanding the fact that
the same may be underlaid with un-
limited coal. After a hQmesteader has
expended hundreds, and perhaps thous-
ands of dollars, in improving his home
stead and has otherwise complied with
the homestead law, under which he
filed, he has acquired vested right
therein, and it seems nothing short Of
robbery to deprive him of the same be-
cause the land is underlaid with coal.
The intent Of the department of the
interior is to conserve our national re
sources, which is commendable, but
the only kind of coal deposits in North
Dakota are Ignite, which are valuable
only to the owner Of the land. The
coal is TOO cheap to pay to transport it
but very short distances. These de-
posts are located for the most part in
the western part of the state, and the
same cannot be shipped with profit
even SO far as the Red River, and
therefore there will never be mon
opoly on the coal lands in this state,
the avoidance of such an occurrence
being the intent of the department.
In regard to his bill Mr.. Marshall
says: II shall make a strenuous fight
to secure a favorable report etc.
There is hope that the congressman
may be successful. 49, -
