SECURES OPTIONS.
Another Main Line Cut-Om Believed to
Be Contemplated.


New Rockford, N. D., Sept. 22.-The
Great Northern railroad is securing
options on property in Wells, Foster
and Eddy counties, and the belief is
expressed here that the company in
tends to build another main line cut
off running from some point on the
Casselton-De Devils Lake line to Minot,
traversing a country almost parallel
to the 500 line.
The company has secured options on
eighty acres adjoining the townsite Of
New Rockford, and it has also OBJ
tanned right-of-way through q newly
plated addition. In Wells county it
has secured options on two pieces Of
property that will, should the line go
through, be used for townsite pur-
poses. It also has one townsite option
In Foster county.
New Rockford is especially interest
ed in the proposition as it hopes to
become the division point, should the
line be put through.

has opened his campaign for re-elec.
ton and is now on an automobile tour

nothing to apologize for, but that, in.
stead, he has acted in true faith with
the people of the state and that the
new law is really a reduction as COM
pared with the old Dingley law.

The three children were last seen

along and took her little brother by

him something nice. The man said
he knew the little fellows father, and

FRANK BROWER DEFEATED
 DORY NICHOLS LAST NIGHT

Frank Brewer defeated Dory Nichols at the Park City skating rink in a roller skating race by four laps. Brow CT kept the lead for the first mile making it in 3:13. In the second mile Nichols got wise to himself and let out a little speed but could not keel it up. Nichols fell in the second lap of the second mile and cut his knee which killed his speed and in the third lap of the same mile Brewer Tapped him and in the sixth lap he Tapped him again and in the 18th lap. Brewer made the second mile in 2 minutes and 56 seconds, breaking his own record which was 2:57. Brewer was still in the lead at the beginning of the third mile but did not let out any, for his man was about able to finish the race Brewer Tapped him in the 18th lap ot mile in minutes and 15 seconds Brewer still holds the championship of New England and mas it by good fast time. The three miles were made in minutes and A seconds.
 Jack White of Derby defeated Geo Toppitzer of Bridgeport, in a one mile race. Toppitzer kept the lead for the first six laps. He got so nervous he ran to one side of the track allowing his man to pass him. In the tenth lap White fell and his man right behind him. but White jumped up and kept the lead. Why say those boys wouldn't had burglars chance to break Dick Barrett's record. How about it Whitey old boy your time was minutes and 15 seconds, which is five seconds out of the way. It may be broke but not by those boys. Don't forget Dick Bar rett races Harry Burke Monday night at the Park City rink.

The inspection began at 8 o'clock and continued till after mid night. It was very thorough. The Fourth company under Capt Bennett appeared with a full quota. The com pany made a record for the armory. Never before has an inspection taken place where every member of com pany was present. Six men were ab- sent from the 11th company under Capt. Hermann and four were absent from the 14th company under Capt. Hawes. There were only two absent from the hospital corps and one of these was by permission. The hosp tai corps was first inspected and dismiss ed to make room for the inspection of the other companies. The rifles, equip ments and sacks were thoroughly ex- amined Squad drill, manual, guard duty and general work were the sub iects of investigation. Nothing escaped the eye of the inspector. The books, accounts, quarters and property came in for it's share of investigation.

JUNK DEALERS ORGANIZE

In order to put stop to the stoning and snowballing of their members who make buying tours through the city the Junk Dealers Protective Associa- tion through its attorney, Israel Cohn has caused warning to be placed in the newspapers informing the small boys that they must cease to torment the rag man and old iron buyers. The association intends to sue the parents to those who stone them for damages as well as cause the arrest of their torTnentors.
 Attorney Cohn said yesterday there had been no case in this city of late where the members of the association had been outrageously treated but in several other cities about the country the stoning had become serious and it was the intention of the junk men to put a stop to it. In this city there has been a continuous string of petty com- plaints to the attorney of the associa- 'tion and it was decided to issue the warning before the annoyances grew to be of a more serious nature.

FINDS GAS
 METERS FAST
Public Service Board Tests Show Only a. Few Are Correct.

New York, Feb. 6.-Figures given out by the Public Service Commission yes- terday show that the gas companies continue to rob consumers by the use of fast meters. Of 569 gas meters against which complaints were filed in January, only 60, or 10.5 per cent, were shown by the commissions tests to be correct There were 367 fast meters or 64.5 per cent. of the entire number The slow meters numbered 142, or 25 per cent. of all the complaints. Four complaint meters refused to register at all when the test was applied Of the 569 meters 269 were per cent. or more fast, 55 were 2 per cent. or more slow and 245 were between per cent. fast and per cent. slow.
 In all, the commission tested 34,131 gas meters in January. Of that num- Der 4.078 were new meters and 29,4SC were repaired and removed meters.
 Complaints also were filed against 72 electric meters. It was discovered that were per cent. or more fast, were per cent. or more slow and 56 were between per cent. fast and 4 per cent. slow. None was absolutely correct.

A Mooul Hero,

Here is a little vignette of Babar, the first of the great moguls. At elev- en he succeeded to his kingdom of Ferghana. His father was accidental ly killed, and IT," says the boy, ''im- mediately mounted in great haste and, taking such followers as were at hand, set out to secure my throne" He suc- ceeded in holding it, nearly lost it by trusting a traitor who was "the best player at leapfrog he had ever seen" and actually lost it by grasping at the possession of Samarkand. Then came two years of wandering. Then he got Ferghana again and lost it second time by trying to make his Mongol soldiers restore their loot to the peas antry. And all this before he was seventeen! Thirty-two years later he died. the last scene being the most striking of all. His darling son Humayun was desperately i'll. Only some great sacrifice could save him, said the doctor He entered the cham Der, walked round the bed three times.

HURLEY VICTOR IN
 FIERCE RING FIGHT
Passaic Boy Often Has Grif- fin on Verge of Knockout.
Once Is Saved by Bell-Aus- tralian Is Knocked Down Five Times in First Five Rounds-Both Men Bad ly Punished.

In the fastest and fiercest ring bat tie ever fought in the National Athletic Club. New York. Battling Hurley of Passaic, N. J., last night earned a de- cision over Charley Griffin of Australia. Griffin. on the verge of knockout several times rallied and met Hurley s terrific onslaughts in the last five rounds with a ganeness that won him the admiration of the spectators. Both men left the ring battered and ex- hausted. while a prolonged burst of cheers rang through the building. The Australians stamina. grit and clever ness gained for him an even break in the opinion of many enthusiasts, and he was applauded as frequently and vociferously as was Hurley for his un- ceasing aggressiveness. There was not a dull moment from start to finish.
 Griffin was knocked down several times in the early rounds of the fight and it seemed that he could not possi- erative powers were wonderful. Five times in the first five rounds the Aus tralian hit the canvas with a thud and twice he took the count of nine. The bell saved him from being counted out once after a fall out of the ring. Ter rife body blows constantly jolted the man from the Antipodes and he was thrown all over the ring and repeated ly bounced up against the ropes by his rushing opponent. Periodically he "opened up'' and beat tattoos on Hur- ley's jaw and for minutes at a time they stood together and slugged like mad Each took punishment that would have stopped an ordinary fighter and it was a stand-off in gameness.
