morning from Crookston where he at
tended, yesterday, the closing sessions
of the annual meeting Of the Congre-

ing address on Congregationalists and
Higher Education. The convention
closed last night with a sermon by Dr.
Creegan.
The conference adopted very strong
anti-liquor resolutions in which w. e.
Johnson, agent in this section for the
U. S. Indian bureau, was heartily com
mended for his actions in enforcing the
laws in the Indian country. One reso-
luton was worded as follows:
1--WE deplore the existing conditions,
heartily commend the recent attempts
of the government to maintain law, and
order and declare our conviction that
the special methods proposed by the
government, including the revocation
of the liquor licenses in the disturb
ed districts, should be speedily put in
to effect"

Railroad News
WORK DELAYED,
NOT ABANDONED

Jamestown Alert: C. A. Maddocks
of New Rockford, was an arrival from
the west and spent the day in the city.
Regarding the report that the Great
Northern road intended to abandon
for good It's line between Ayr and Mi
not, Mr.. Maddox says such report
Is not given credence along the line.
One of the reported reasons for sus-
pending operations at this time is the
scarcity of funds, the short crop and
the condition of the money market. A
great deal of work has already been
done, and the company has spent over
$250,000 at New Rockford alone. Next
spring the work will no doubt be re-
sumed and the line completed for fall
business.

BLOOD FEUD CALL
GIVEN IN COURT
NEAPOLITAN WOMAN CAUSES A
SENSATION IN SAN FRAN
CISCO.

San Francisco, Oct 6.-Unable to
understand the workings of the legal
machinery in the court, where she
sought vengeance for the murder OF
her son, and believing that the men
accused of his death had been set free,
Lucia Rallestrio, an aged Neapolitan
woman, sank her teeth in her forearm
in the police court yesterday and wav-
ing the bleeding member above her
head, screamed:
'The blood of my murdered son!'
1t was the blood -feud call of her
people, and in a moment the court
was in an uproar.
In the prisoners dock covered
Pietro Patronia and yincenio Ran
dazzo, Neapolitan fishermen. charged
with the murder of Mario Baliestrio.
As the cry of the mother rose, a
fierce hiss swept through the crowded
benches of the court room, where many
of her own people sat.
Vendetta in Court.
For q moment it looked as though
they eye-for- an-eye doctrine of the
vendetta would be carried out in the
shadow of the bench itself. Court at
tendants quickly sprang toward the
angry crowd, but a cooler headed man
among the foreigners soothed the
mother with the assurance that the
case had merely been postponed ana
the prisoners were still in the grip
of the law. AS this was made clear
to her, the woman collapsed and was
led from the room weeping.
Ballestrio was shot to death a
month ago on Fsisherman's wharf.
When the detectives failed to capture
the murderers, the dead mans son
pledged himself by the blood of his
father to find the murderers out.

STATION AGENT
IS ON TRIAL
GREAT NORTHERN AGENT AT
GRANDIN CLAIMED TO HAVE
DRIVEN PARTY or MEN FROM
WAITING ROOM AT THE POINT
OF A REVOLVER.

J. p. Phillips, Great Northern sta
ton agent at Grandin since last Sum
day night, was tried this afternoon In
Judge Miller's court on the charge Of
driving party of men from the wait
ing room of his station at the point
Of a revolver. Phillips denies the
charge that he pointed a revolver on
any of the men in the encounter,
though he admits that he cid one in
his hand. The action Is brought by
John McElroy, who states that he was
one Of the men on whom the agent
turned his gun. w. H. Barnett Is the
counsel for the defense.
According to the story told on the
stand by the complaining witnesses,
including McElroy, several members
Of the McElroy family had assembled
at the Great Northern station before
it had been opened for the patrons
who met the late evening train at 9:14
O'Clock. 1t was stated that they
knocked on the door and asked the
station agent to allow them to place
their grips inside the waiting room
until train time. When the door was
opened by the agent, the members OF
the party, thirteen in all, stepped in"
side to take seats in the waiting room
as they did not prefer to remain on
the platform. 1t is said that Phillips
informed all the members of the party
at that time that the waiting room was
open only thirty minutes before train
time.
Phillips is then said to have locked
the door and retired to his own pri~
vate Office where he proceeded with
his business. Two Of the party wish
ed to transact some business and had
met at the station for that purpoe,,
and could not get out. They demand
ed of the agent that the outside door
be opened for them, which request was
McElroy and another man
began kicking the door in, trying to
force it open, and then came over to
the door Of the station agent again
that he open the door.
A second time Phillips Is said to
have declined to heed their inquests,
the men began kicking the,
door of the private office. The agent !
Is then reported to have grabbed q 4
revolver from a safe or table in the
ticket office, opened his door leading
into the main waiting room and or
dered all the occupants of the place
out onto the back platform of the sta
ton through the rear entrance. At
first the party declined, stating they
would only leave through the front
door, but finally yielded to the agents
demand and made their exit under
cover of the revolver through the rear
entrance. In leaving they had to pass
through the ticket office of the station.
The trial was still on when The
Forum went to press. Phillips was
arrested by Sheriff Boyle Tuesday.

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago Oct. 6-There were many
traders last night who looked upon
the market with more favor. AS one
of them put it "the good news put the
price down " cent, early and bad
news put it up 70 cents later" This
shows that the crowd is disposed to
follow the bull news. If 1t rains in
the Argentine the next few days we
will likely have a break here. 1t was
said that two big traders had covered
100000 bushels each during the day
and that the local short interest had
been reduced. Traders said that the
reaction was over due and regarded
the advance of nearly cents from
the recent low point as due to over
selling by over confident traders who
became impressed with the idea that
wheat had no value above 81 a busheI
for May. While many were not dis
posed to follow the advance any fur
Their unless the Argentine news con-
tinues bullish, they said they did not
care to be short at present.
