draw as much as he expected.
And speaking of the drawing power OF
the card, they are now prattling wildly
about taking in 100000 at the gale. Yes,
and what's more, they really think they
will do IT.
1t is interesting to know that the fist
man to jump the value of this battle
was Jim Jeffries himself. 1 talked to him
on the night of the day when the oids
were opened. He was preparing to leave
the Albany hotel to fill show date IN
Boston or somewhere up that way. and
everyone was amazed at the amount of
money which had been offered for the
fight. JEFF was as cool as a head waiter:
You think they've overplayed this DID
ding thing?" said he. well, femme sey
that I don't. The man who bids 100000
or more for this fight is going to make
money. It wouldn't surprise me to 500
EN- draw anywhere between $4,000 end
$500, Co.,"
This was naturally set down to Jeff's
desire to boost the attraction. Since then
experts have been figuring with as much
advance dope as they. have been able
to secure and they are confidently *
pecting a gate of more than $4,000.
Here and there one or two of the old
timers have their doubts.
do you think they'll fight?" they ask
suspiciously, Amt there a chance that
they will call the fight OFF,
The man who asks that question be-
longs in the solid ivory class. In other
words, his cupola Is built of reinforced

Here was the Cubs chance TO over

being to 1, but Schultz, the next bats
man on the list, is a left handed hitter,
and swatters of that kind are usually
weak against an off side finger like
Leefeld. Chance accordingly began the
battle of brains by lifting Schultz from

but he had another PITY up his sleeve
and ordered Zimmerman back to the
bench. while Howard. q left-handed
swatter, took "Heine's" place at bat.
Clarke could not switch pitchers again
for two reasons, the first being that he
had no other southpaw finger owing to
the sale OF Durbin to Scren ton aid the
second being that a leaEue rule requires
a new pitcher to either retire one bat
ter or send him to nr,t base before an
ether change can be made on the slab,
AS it was. however. things turned out
well for the Pirates. for while Howard
drove in one run by sending a long fiy

retiring the side. and during the rest OF

which he is complete master, hands us
the following jolt:
Hugh W. Roberts, sporting editor of
the Birmingham Age-Herald, is always
butting into some ones affairs. His lat
est is to say that the Crackers are on a
little mine of internal dissention and dis
satisfaction. Better post yourself, Mr..
Roberts, before making any such rash
statements. If ever there was a team
that was working in perfect harmony, ac-
cord and satisfaction, the Champs is
one. Investigate a little further, Mr..
Roberts. or keep your knocks for your
home team, as you have handed them out
in the past, before you write such rot as
that again.
As result of the foregoing we spent
4 very sad and Improbable Sabbath.
There is very little satisfaction in the
knowledge that Mr.. Jemson is himself
scarcely aware of what occurs in the
camp of the Crackers. Such knowledge
las not and cannot heal the wound which
he has inflicted, for none save those who
have had the experience can appreciate
lust what it means to receive rebuke at
the hands of Richard Q.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
PLANS new Lines
EXPECTED MORE WORK WILL BE
DONE IN MORTON COUNTY
THIS YEAR.
Exact Course Of Nav Lines Is Not
Known But Some Surveys Have A.
ready Been Made.

Speculation is rife as to the next
step the Northern Pacific railway will
take in the extension of its lines on
the west Slope.
Already it is a we'll assured fact
that the work in the southern part
of Morton county will be extensive
and that the new cannonball IL
will be oaralleled by line along the
Cedar river starting from some point
on the Missouri river between the
Cannonball and Fort Yates, where
the branch from Edgeley will cross
the Bic Muddy To the west the
probabilities are that the line will
be extended from Mott across the
Little Missouri into Montana, strik-
ing the main line at Forsythe.
But it is in the country north OF
Mandan that it is believed the great
est work will be done. 1t IS not
thought likely that the terminus OF
the north branch will remain at
stanton, and it is considered highly
probable that another contract Tor
grading work will be let this year
for possibly another hundred miles
to the north along the river.
There is also some speculation as
tn whether the line from Stanton,
west along the Knife river, may not
be- built.
Dunn county is rapidly filling up
with farmers and there is crying
need for railroad facilities. 1t is
hardly thought that the Northern Pa
cific will let this talk Of electric lines
materalize into a reality or that they
will turn a deaf ear to the demands
of that for a competing line to pre-
empt that section or perhaps leave
the wav open territory. That is why
it seems altogether probable that the
Knife river branch may be started
this year.
The right of way through that sec:
ton and to the north of Stanton, had
practically been secured several years
ago.

Freight train GOES
in DITCH WEDNESDAY
COSTLY sMAsHUP OCCURRED
WEST OF DR!ScOLL AND DE-
LAYED TRAINS.
Twenty Cars DeraiIed - No One Is
Hurt - Passenger Trains Delayed
For Several Hours.

A freight wreck two and half
miles west Of Driscoll Thursday
morning delayed traffic for about ten
hours, and was not cleaned up until
S o'cloc that afternoon.
The wreck was caused by broken
rail. 1t appears the engine passed
over the break, but the first car tore
the broken rail from the ties and it
was forced through the bottom of a
loaded car of steel. This car was
thrown from the track and in the
mixup that followed twenty other
cars were piled up and their contents
spread around the country for a dis
lance of several rods.
Two wrecking trains were sent to
the scene of the mishap and they
worked steadily until o'clock, get
ting the track in condition so that the
passengers trains could pass. Trains
3, 7. Is, 2, and Is, were held up for
some time on account of the wreck.
In passing it might be interesting
to note that passenger train No. 2,
which passed through here Thursday
March g., had been since the morning
of February % coming from Seattle.
