WOLF BOUNTY CLAIMS.
.AIlOunt at Present Date Reaches the
Sum Of So.

Up to the present date claims for
wolf bounty amounting to $1,000 have
been filed, which is practically the
came as the mou which was filed
at this date last year when the holders
IF the certificates received 10 cents on
the dollar IN the face of their certi-
icateS. The total appropriation of
$4,000 must meet all claims, and they
are prOrated on that basis at the end
Of the fiscal year. The heavy run of
certificates is at the close of the fiscal
year, just after the wolf pups have
been dug out of their denS by the
hunters and they can be Taked in

90 LINE EXTENSION.
Rumored Old Grade Will Be "Ironcd'
from Aberdeen to Ashley.

The information has Leaked out
from a semi-official source that the
500" road will iron the grade between
Aberdeen and Ashley, N. D. The road
acquired the right of way n built
the grade in 1888, at the same time
acquiring extensive terminal facilities
in Aberdeen. Since completing the
grade it. has done nothing toward
utilizing it beyond taking care to see
that the taxes were kept paid up. A
short time ago some of the officials Of
the road visited Aberdeen. Later a
contractor went there, and after in
specting the site and a part of the
grade, returned to the Twin Cities.
While there he stated that he would
put in Il bid on laying the rails, which
the road expected to have done at
once. The distance between Ashley
and Aberdeen is about 100 miles. The
grade passes through Leola, the coun-
ty scat of Walworth county, and cross
es the state line northwest of Leola.

Wagar, form erly United States COM
missioner at Dallas, charged with en-
bezzlement of funds belonging to
homesteaders which had been placed
in his hands, Saturday morning re-
turned a verdict acquitting the defen-
dant.
The jury took the case before noon
Friday, and owing to a verdict not
having been decided before the jury
was locked up, 1t was quite generally
expected the jury would report a dis
agreement.
When the verdict of acquittal was
announced Mrs. Wagar, who has beer
with her husband nearly every mo-
ment of the long trial, broke down
from sheer joy and the relaxation
from the strain under which she had
labored.

BLASTERS ARE ARRESTED
Finally Called to Account for Their
Careless Work.

George Matttngly, city license col
rector, brought to the police station
this afternoon about twenty large
pieces of rock weighing from five to
twenty pounds each and with the
stones he brought two men weighing
from $50 to 200 pounds each. The
stones were brought to the station to
prove the guilt of the men who have
been blasting on the Fifth ward sew
er and on whose account the little
daughter of the license collector
narrowly escaped serious injury.
Mr.. Mattingly lives one block and
half from the scene of the blasting
and last evening a blast threw $50
pounds of stone over on the rear

port and saw the stone come flying
toward his house. He grabbed the
little girl and just as she was showed
to a place of safety the rock came
crashing down on the porch, strik-
ing the spot where the little girl had
stood.

trouble along this line-about two
weeks ago a little baby playing in the

precaution and it is the intention of

Charles Burk and William Austin
were arrested and will appear before

This is in direct violation to city

with a fine of not less than SIS and
not more than $50. Stones of this
kind would kill a man if they hap
pened to hit him and the contractors
on this sewer have been getting more
careless each day. The ordinance says
that plankS and boards of sufficient
size to hold the explosion shall be
placed over the charge.
