A BALKAN WAR
Turkey is Preparing for War With
Bulgaria.

London Jan. 29.-The secret his
tory of the crisis in the near east will
he disclosed in the Fortnightly Review
for February. The author ts a men,
ber of the London diplomatic corps.
The article will be unsigned. BY the
authors courtesy, this correspondent
has been permitted to read the origin
al manuscript. The writer declares
that Turkey has been preparing for
war with Bulgaria, asserting that the
settlement of the questions between
Turkey and Austria merely frees
Turkeys hands for dealing more
thoroughly with Bulgaria. The author
also declares that Servia and Mont
negro intend to make war on Austria.
He doubts whether this struggle can
be localized and he foresees an in
evitable lowering of the Hapsburg
prestige "and of the dual monarchy
held together only by this prestige" !"

FIVE MEN HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE
Snow Plow Derailed and Roll
ed Down Embankment
With Men

stockwood, N. D.. Jan. pa heavy
snow plow on the Northern Pacific
was wrecked here today and the oc-
cupants, five in number, had miracu-
lous escape from death. The snow
plow was being used to clear the
track of the heavy drifts which had
accumulated during the high wind of
last night. In endeavoring to rush
through one of those drifts it struck a
portion where the top of the drift was
frozen over and when this was hit
the snow plow was thrown from the
track. 1t rolled down an embankment
several feet high. The occupants of
the snow plow were badly shaken up.
but the heavy structure prevented it
from crushing and thus saved their
lives. They were badly bruised by be-
ing thrown against the sides of the
cab in the tumble. 20

Mrs. Merchant of Glendale
Narrowly Escapes Death as
Result Of Error

Glendale. N. D., Jan. 2s-Mrs. Mer-
chant. wife of DR.. M. F. Merchant,
who is at present on trip to Texas,
had an extremely narrow escape from
being fatally poisoned. Mrs. Merchant
had been suffering with a severe
cough and had been taking a medi-
cine to relieve the complaint. While
preparing breakfast she was seized
with a severe coughing attack and
taking up a bottle of the supposed
cough medicine swallowed a small
portion. It proved to be a fumigating
compound which DIR. Merchant had
been using before his departure and
had left in the house.
Realizing her error, Mrs. Merchant
did what was possible for herself
at the moment and had medical assist
ance summoned and although suffer-
ing. she Is fortunately now out Of dan

the best institutes ever held in this

tanning to agriculture and is in the
habit Of receiving from 800 to $3.50

who induced him to make the trip.
l. Prof. Thomas Shaw has been here
before said Prof. Hoverstad in his
Introductory remarks He is an au-
thority on live stock raising and is
filling the bill in this particular SUBJ

great is this North Dakota writer

sent all the way to this state to secure

TIP ON BIG GAME
President Learns How to Shoot and
Run.

Washington, Jan. 29.-President
Roosevelt yesterday learned something
Of the details Of how he will shoot
big game in Africa. In talk of more
than two hours with Capt. Fritz Du-
quesne, who recently returned form
the wilds Of East Africa, the President
went over the entire program, from
carrying rifles to how he could most
conviently lug the rhinoceros from
the Tanganyike lakes. He learned
also Of the calibre of guns used for
the different species, where the shots
could be placed to be most effective.
and wherein the greatest danger lies.
II don't want to shoot down any
animals that are not thoroughly ac-
quainted with a rifle" the president
said when Informed that, owing to his
prominence, he probably would be

II want to take hunters chance" !"
the president continued. Il want to
shoot the game where it is most dan
gerous. have been reading up the

ing sights put on it. That's a bully
gun! Anybody who knows it knows
it's the best gun, and we've got it.,
too!
"Will Cunningham take me where
there are any lions? the president
asked.
That's what l want to get at, lions,
lions! Now, they have the roam ante
lope, or, as the Dutch call it, the
bastard eland. intend to get some
of them, and the blessbock and oryx,
too.
"And want a cheetah and leopard

crosses, because I like something that

to use soft ball and solid ball-on
! what part Of the animal, mean? ?
Suppose an elephant charges me, what
should do to distract his attention?
Mr.. Duquesne told, the president
there were many things to do, but one
of the best was to run like the wind.
Il thought you had the natives fire
in the other direction, SO the ele-
plants will run away from you" said
the president.
What sort of shikarees do you sup
pose I'm getting down there?"
Mr.. Duquesne, who is we'll acquaint-
ed in Africa, told the president he
would get the best that Cunningham
can pick in the country. Mr.. Du-
quesne was much impressed with the
president, and especially with his
knowledge Of the animals of the At
rican jungles. The president is in
terested in rhinoceroses more than
anything else. MIR. Duquesne said. II
was astonished at the thorough way
he has prepared for his trip. He
seems to have mastered all details, "
he added.
The president will be gone about
one year. After his return he said he
would 60 west and be western man.

Telegraph Lines Are Down
and Communication With
Chicago Is Cut Off
ONE DEATH RESULTED FROM
THE STORM N Minneapolis
Street Car Traffic in Twin Cities Tied
up and All Trains From the East
Are Running From Five to Ten
Hours Late.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-The weather map
issued today was in appearance al
most without precedent. The Iso-
bars, indicating the points of equal air
pressure, wound like a lop sided
spiral over the middle west, centering
at Chicago where the gale was expect
ed to break later in the day and where
the barometer stood at 80, and ex-
tending as far west as Omaha where
the barometer reading was 8 higher.
West, south and north of Omaha the
map was blank. The wires were down
in every direction and reports were
missing. West of Chicago it was pos
sible for only four states and terri
tories California, Nevada, New Mexi-
co and Arizona to get in their reports,
which was accomplished by using the
unaffected wires south along the
Mexican border. The wind blew 20
miles an hour at Springfield, Mo-;
46 at st. Louis; SO at Omaha; SO at
Des Moines and Detroit, and 4S at
Galveston. At the time the reports
were received the velocity in Chicago
was only miles but the route of the
storm travelling from Kansas, where
1t started yesterday, and moving
towards Lake Michigan. apparently
justified the prediction Of a gale be-
fore sun down. accompanied by snow
and a sharp fall in the temperature.
The demoralized condition of the tele-
graph wires was attributed generally
to the sleet. The general Offices Of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail-
road for many hours we're unable to
learn the whereabouts of trains
stalled or delayed in the blizzard in
Iowa.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1909-01-29
At St. Paul.

The storm is one of the worst of
the season The wind is blowing about
fifty-five miles an hour The telegraph
wires east are prostrated. The Asso-
ciated Press has not been able to COM
municate with Chicago since 4 o'clock
this morning, the wires being down
in Wisconsin. All the telegraph COM
panies are in bad condition east.
The storm here is responsible. It is
said. for the death of an unidentified
negro who died in a saloon early to-
day. He entered the saloon as soon
as the doors were opened, saying he
was very cold and wished to get warm.
He leaned against the steam radiator
and when the bartender again looked
at him he was lying on the floor. He
died before physician arrived.
The local street car service was
utterly demoralized and those who did
not walk to their places of business
were an hour behind the usual time
in arriving at the places of business.
The mail and passenger trains from
the east are from five to ten hours
late.
