Injured by Horses.
Frank Haqqett. who has

Frank Haggett, who has been
driving l.. N. Sheldon's team of
horses came very near losing his
life this morning, and dog fight
was the cause of it all. The dogs
got to fighting and ran into the
barn where Mr.. Haggett was cur
rying his horses. The dogs
frightened the horses and they
started kicking, after putting the
dogs out of business they started
in on Haggett, who was near the
manger, and knocked him down.
He was kicked about the head,
received several kicks in the ribs
and had his legs badly bruised.
Mr.. Sheldon happened to be on
hand and succeeded in getting the
horses quieted down after a short
time. This together with the fact
that one of the horses got his
front feet caught in his halter, &C.
counts for the fact that Haggett
escaped with his life.

Frand and Verne Tanner, two
young men living near Squires,
were seriously burned Tuesday at
noon while endeavoring to rescue
their horses from q burning barn.
The boys were doing some break
ing on the Mrs. Sage farm and
had the horses in the stable at
noon when the fire occurred.
There was an old straw stack near
the barn which had been set on
fire some time before but the fire
had not died out. The heavy
wind Tuesday started the fire up
again and the first thing the boys
knew the barn was on fire. They
rushed out to rescue their six

STATE MAKING
FINE new MAP
STATE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
GETTING MATERIAL READY FOR
SUMMERS WORK.

Bismarck, April 3O.-The state
agricultural department, which
also has charge of the immigration
work of the state is now busy
making preparations for the sum-
mer work, and intends to cover a
wider field of operation this year
than ever before.
A large sectional wall map of
the state, size 36x4O is in process
of preparation for the printing
press. 1t will be up to date in
every respect, showing the pro-
posed new line of railroads and
the late post Offices that have been
established. Around this map
will be given agricultural statis-
tics, the number of acres of land
in each county as we'll as the num-
Der that are assessed. 1t will also
show the estimated population of
each city and town for the year
1909. 1t will contain q brief
sketch of every state institution
as, we'll as those other than state.
It will give the educational, land
partment, and banking statistics,
and brief statements as to the irri-
CATION projects, mineral develop
ments, and such other facts and
figures as will be of interest both
to the residents as we'll as to the
non-residents of the state, and will
include the dairy productions,
number of postoffices, banks, gov
ernment lands, in fact it is desig-
mated to be as complete IS it is
possible to make it. ." ..g,.
Another feature Of the works

ed to illustrations of the states
public institutions, showing them
as they actually exist and not COL
ored by the hand of skilled ar
fists. The object of this work is
to demonstrate to the world that
North Dakota is not behind her
sister states when it comes to pub
lie institutions, or providing suit
able buildings for educational pur-
poses or making provisions for
those who are afflicted. This
book will be attractive and con-
tain q concise history of each in

VALLEY CITY HAS
DISASTROUS FIRE
ORIGIN ;of FIRE BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN IN Sr0VE-EXPL0S0N
WRECKED one BUILDING.

Valley City, N. d., May g.
The fire tiend paid a disastrous
visit to this city early yesterday
morning, and before the fire had
gotten under control, damage to
the amount of $4,000 had been
entailed. The loss is partially
covered by insurance.
Accompanied by severe ex-
plosion, believed to have occurred
in a soda fountain, the flames COM
pletely destroyed the Burnham
block, in which the fire is sup
posed to have originated in a
stove. The lower floor of the
Burnham block was occupied by
the Burnham cafe, while the Sec
ond story was used by DIR. Platou
as Offices. One wall of the Ru-
dolph hotel was wrecked by the
force of the explosion as was also
a portion of the BUou theatre.
The roof of an adjacent cottage
was also badly damaged.
Mayor Cowell. who aided in
fighting the flames, was bruised
and cut by flying glass. He was
the only one injured. The local
fire fighters put up q game battle
against the flames and kept the
fire from accomplishing greater
havoc.

again placed in the position.

MINIMUM RATE
IN n. D. RESTORED
STATE RAILWAY COMMISSION RE-
STORES OLD FREIGHT RATE OF
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.

state board of railroad commits
sioners has ordered restored in
this state the freight rate in effect
prior to Jan. /, 1909.
For many years prior to Jan. /,
the freight rates on small ship
ments of goods weighing less than
100 pounds in North Dakota. were
charged for at the actual weight,
at the rate per 100 pounds of the
class to which the goods belonged
and the medium for each ship
ment was 25 cents.
On Jan. 1, the railroads put
new rate into effect in this state
making the minimum charge on
single shipments of less than 100
pounds the same as though the
shipment weighed the full 100
pounds.
The placing in effect of the new
rate caused a great deal Of dissst-
isfaction among jobbers, mer-
chants and, shippers generally, for
the reason that the carrying
charges in many instances were
more than the first cost of the
goods. Numerous complaints
we're filed with the board of rail-
road commissioners against the
new rate during the months of
January and February and the
board called a public meeting to
be held at Fargo on March 10 in
the Commercial club rooms at
which time the question was dis
cussed by representatives of the
shippers and the railway compan-
les of which q stenographic report
was made. .-... .,>s-...- sss@
Since the public hearing at
Fargo on March 10 and without
awaiting the decision of the board
of railroad commissioners the rail-
way company put into effect new
tariff, preserving the 100 pound
minimum, by making a fiat third
class rate for all commodities.
This rate is in effect in Minnesota
but as the distance tariff is so
much greater in North Dakota
than it is in Minnesota, the basing
of the minimum charge on the
third class is considered to be un-
just and unfair by the board and
places the shippers and consumers
of North Dakota at great disad-
vantage as compared to the ship
pers and interests of other states.
The question of a minimum
freight charge has been under con-
sideration by the board of railroad
commissioners ever since the hear
ing at Fargo and at the meeting
of the board yesterday resolu-
tion was adopted refusing to con-
cur in the third class 100 pound
charge and an order is
entered directing that the rates in
effect prior to Jan. / be restored.

MORRIS BEZMAN TAKEN TO
CHICAGO BY MlSCHA ElMAN

Morris BeZman, the talented
Russian violinist, who for the past
two years has been an instructor
in the Denver Conservatory of Mu-
sic. left for Chicago last week to
continue his musical education I'M
der the direction of Herman, one
of the greatest violin teachers in
this country.
The sudden departure of BeZ-
man to Chicago, accompanied by
his resi- ignation as teacher ut the
Denver Conservatory of Music, was
brought about in peculiar way
through the encouragement of Mis-
cha Elman. the great violinist. who
gave Il concert at the auditorium
last Friday evening.
Elman on his arrival in Denver
looked up BeZman. whom he had
not seen for some few years. and
who studied the violin with him in
Russia. Elman was surprised and
delighted upon hearing him play.
to discern such excellent talent in
BcZmap. and became so interested
in his future that he Immediately
began to form plans whereby Bez-
man could take course of study
and prepare for the concert stage.
Elman insisted that he give up his
work here and return with him to
Chicago. This BeZman did, leaving
last Saturday. Upon his arrival in
Chicago. at a banquet rendered to
Mischa Elman. he was introduced
to Herman. BeZman was later
asked to play for him, and through
the influence of Elman. and be-
cause of his exceptional talent.
Herman offered to give him all his
lessons free of charge and to take
him abroad to study later.
Herman sees the brightest of pos
sibilities in store for the young vio-
