There. was "hold-up" OF a 500

as the shades of evening We're fall

News. The work OF the highway was
witnessed. by quite a crowd Of awed
spectators. but no one ventured near
the scene for fear OF injury. The
work was accomplished with a bust
nesslike precision that marked the
principals as experienced profession
ais in this line of work and thev met
with no resistance at the hands Of
the crew or passengers, finally per-
mitting the train to proceed on it's
journey. The leader OF thv. gang was
well known resident of our town,
and he had two confederates and a
"curle of horses waiting in the street
TO assist in the work. However, the
''hcld-up" was accidental and regret

Shaw is cripple, both legs of below

Shaw who had been assisting the bar
tender in the Rex saloon, was endeav-
oring to touch" a friend of his. A
request to desist in his endeavors
led to a war Of words, when Mr. Shaw
struck one man with his cane and
then started for Sawyer, who grabbed
a pool ball and fired it, striking Shaw
on the eye and glancing through the
glass front Of the saloon. Mr.. Saw
yer then threw another ball which
landed square at the dase Of the brain.
Shaw was taken to the hospital at

May Go Through
Fessenden, N. D.
Rumors That Great Northern Cut. off
viii Pass Through That Place
Credited.

Fessenden Press: Much specula-
,tion has been going on ever since the
Great Northern made it's first surveys
through Wells county several years
ago, and now with the cessation of
construction on the line which was
actually begun between Ayr and
MinOt rumors come thick and fast az
to what will be the final outcome Of
the roads new line.
All work on the grade running from
New Rockford through the northern
part Of Wells county has stopped, the
contractors paid of and the men and
teams left the country, a number Of
them going to Canada where they
have taken contracts which will keep
them busy for two or three years.
At first the general impression cur.
rent was that the work was stopped
owing to the financial situation, but
later developments would seem to in
dicate that there is more to it than
that. Some have It that the Great
Northern and 500 have signed truce,
whereby the two roads will suspend
for a time at least, their warfare
That there is something besides the
alleged stringency OF money Is appar-
ent from the fact that work on the
new line between Pingree and Wilton
Of the Northern Pacifc-understood
to be directed by the same men who
control the G. Ms being continued.
That the proposed grade Of the G.
N. is to be abandoned altogether is
credited by a number Of men in Z po.
sition to know Indirectly it has been
learned that settlement for right-of-
ways, not before completed, are being
made only where actual grading has
been done. or actual damage to the
righ-of-way would be secured in the
one settlement.
1t is believed that the survey to
W1liston Is now the one which will
be used and the chance Of the road
coming through Fessenden in that
case, IL very god Judging from the
favorable reports of engineers max
ing surveys. It has been said that
tentative offers for right-of-way have
been made for some of the distance
on a line with survey through this
