The boys have in times past picked
up every piece Of copper and brass
they could find about the court house.
There we're formerly brass knobs and
brass chains used at the water clos.
els In the basement OF the court
house. The brass chains and knobs
were stolen and carried away by the
boys and junk hunters. The brass

Few Horses Are Wanted.

Chicago, June 22.--There was a
weak tone to horse trade, as Eastern
demand was slack and local orders
were limited. Dizziness featured the
trade as yearly happens at this season
because horses for summer use are Sc
cured during the spring, while those
for winter are usually obtained in the
fall. Prices were little changed from
previous days level. Receipts the
first two days this week totaled around
637, against 100 same period last week
and 1,113 corresponding time last year.
Prime drafters sold upward of 1915,
but good ones sold at $20o@225. Elk
press and ice companies were after
horses at $1654215. Drivers sold up
ward from $3.50.

WORKING PASSENGER TRAINS.
Claimed That 5ootIsssers Sell Liquor
on the Cars. Travelling Out of
Forks


Minot Reporter: Deputy United
States Revenue Collector George Mer-
riield of Grand Forks was In the city
yesterday on business. Mr.. Merrif1eld
sometimes has some amusing expert
ences. He does not have the power
of arrest without swearing out a war
rant before a peace officer and he says
that this fact sometimes handicaps
him to considerable degree.
The other night while coming to
this city from the Forks he met a
young man on the train who had a
fine looking suit case 1t was so con-
structed that 1t woutd hold twenty
four quart bottles of whiskey besides
articles of wearing apparel.
The man was bootfesger and after
the train had started out of Larimore
he opened up and solicited business
in the smoking car and day coaches.
He did not make any sales, however
MIR. Merrifield is quite we'll known up
and down the main line and some of
his acquaintance evidently informed
the young man of his identity as he
got off at an obscure station and left
his grips behind him.
Mr. Merrifield says that there IL q
party of several young men working
out of Grand Forks. who are doing &
thriving business on the passenger
trains in this line. The state enforce
ment league is also working on the
matter and in short time 1t is pos
sible that there will be developments
from this source which win put an
