Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Oct bulls on wheat were
temoralized last night and the bears
were feeling good. Every pound of
long stuff held showed further losses
and no one seemed disposed to father
the market. Those who have tried to
stop the decline and traders who have
played for a rally have been unable
to make a fair turn on the bull side
for over a week. 1t was the gossip
among traders in the wheat pit that
Commission houses in some instances
have liquidated about all of their long
stuff, while others have considerable
open interest and are being called con-
stantly for margins. The public is
not in the market and those who have
come In recently regret 1t. 1t is a
case of misplaced confidence and many
Of the sharpest operators have been
deceived of late and have lost money
by the decline. A cleaning up of the
September trades there and naturally
a good deal. of tall end selling which
accelerated the decline in wheat and
coarse grains. Ordinary an intensely
bearish condition like that OF last
night is frequently followed by rally
but Of late the trade has lost its nerve
on the buying side and support has
been feeble. Inter- Ocean.

Petit Larceny.

For short changing clerk at a local
store last night William Thompson,
cslored, was arraigned before Judge
Miller this noon on charge of petit
larceny and was held to the county
court. Bonds were fixed at 500, which
the negro was unable to give and he
was committed to the county jail to
await trial.
Thompson made a small purchase at
drug store last night and gave 81
bill to the clerk to change. The young
woman who waited upon him took 81
out of the till of the register and laid
it on the counter and then got the
smaller change, which amounted to So
cents. He still held the 81 bill in his
hand and while she was picking out
the smaller change, the negro grabbed
the ST bill and laid a nickel on the
counter in its place.
Il see you can't make the change
he said. so here is a nickel, which
is the exact amount"
With that he shot out the door be-
fore the young woman had chance
to notify the other clerks to detain
him. Notice was given the police de-
partment and he was soon captured
and brought to the station, where the
money was found on him when
searched.
Thompson is known among his as
sociates as six shooter" and the

CASS LAKE PEOPLE
Arm FOR BATTLE
ELABORATE PLANS ARE MADE BY
ANGRY CITIZENS TO RESIST
CLOSING OF sALooNs-MAYoR
ISSUES WARNING = CITIZENS
WILL FIGHT FOR LIBERTY.

Open threats against the United
States government and elaborate plans
for the arming Of private citizens TO
be sworn in as special officers are
some of the alarming aspects at Cass
Lake, according to the following dis
patch from there, as result of orders
from the commissioner of Indian aft
fairs.
'Our people are aroused to the point
of desperation" said Mayor Dumas,
land you can take 1t from me that the
government is going to call off its In
dian agents who have been persecut-
ing, insulting, assaulting and interfer-
ing with private citizens or they will
find a body of men here as brave as
the patriots who faced bullets at Lex
lngton or any other battle where lib
erty was at stake. There can be no
doubt but that the situation here is
dangerous, 1t need surprise no one il
government troops should be required
to preserve the peace. 1t has been pre-
sumed that the actual storm and SUI
preme test would not come until Oct.
Is, when the saloon closing order goes
into effect, but the high tension OF the
pOPuAcbAiOAA ID APT " SpA5C q
opening of hostilities."
An incident here today has added
fuel to the flame and may cause still
graver complications. Among the many
wild reports hourly spread about the
village was one that o. o. Jetley of
Ashland, Wis, special Indian agent
sent here few days ago by Chief Spe-
cial Officer William e. Johnson, who
has charge of enforcing the govern
mental orders in this district, had be-
come intoxicated and was ready to
shoot up the town. Johnson was wired
by some one here of Jetley's alleged
misconduct, and he at once directed a
telegram to Mayor Dumas, who in turn
wired back that so far ais he knew Jet
ley had been sober Nevertheless it is
reported here tonight that Jetley has
been suspended This incident has
only an indirect bearing on the gen.
eral situation, but should Jetley or any
other Indian agent attempt interior
ence of any kind, general uprising
appears inevitable.
Says State Is PowerIess.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press has the
following concerning the situation
there:
THE state can take mo action; the
federal government alone has jurisdic-
ton. After consultation with Attor-
ney General Simpson, Governor Eber-
hart learned this"
Ralph w. Wheelock, secretary to the
governor, said the above last night in
reference to the agitation in Cass Lake
where, according to Mayor d. F. Du-
mas, 100 citizens stand ready to be
sworn in as special officers If w. E.
Johnson, special Indian agent of the
interior department, tries to seize the
property of Cass Lakes three saloons
which have been ordered out of bust
ness Oct. Is.
The mayor is reported to have de-
clared the Cass Lake people are in
dignant over the measures taken to
enforce the old Indian treaties under
which liquor is barred in the Cass Lake
district, and predicts trouble for Mr.
Johnson.

A. c. HAS MORE
SPEED THIS YEAR

Coach Reuber's men will take a little
lay-off this afternoon and the majority
of the squad will probably journey over
to the Fargo college gridiron and take
in the Fargo Valley City game. At
the present time Reuben has about
twenty men eligible for the first squad,
but in this whole bunch he has not one
consistent kicker. So far the team has
not engaged In scrimmage. All the
time has been spent in trying to get the
bunch in shape so they can get across
the field at pretty fair speed without
stopping to get their wind.
one thing the A. G. will have this
year. and that is more speed. than they
had last year The ends will be pretty
well taken care OF and by men who
can get down the field fast, while the
back field will be a little faster than
usual.

ONLY one TOPIC
In MOORHEAD
CLOSING or THE SALOONS Is
PRACTICALLY THE ONLY TOPIC
or CONVERSATION TN THE CITY.
SOME CONTEND CLOSING WILL
az ONLY TEMPORARY.

About the only item Of interest that
Is occupying the attention of the citi-
zens Of Moorhead is the closing of the
saloons on Oct. is. 1t is practically the
only topic OF discussion and the diverg-
ence of opinion is very wide.
Some Of the more volatile state. and
seem to believe, that the government
will not close the liquor houses on that
date, but will grant a further extern
sion OF time. This, however, seems very
improbable, although there is no def
mite information, or for that matter
the least inkling, as to what the in
tention of the government is other than
it's last order which is to close all the
saloons ON Oct. ID
According to the belief of the more
conservative citizens, it is now getting
rather late for any changes to be made
In the federal programme. Some of
these contend, though, that the closing
will be only temporary, as the Indian
treaty under which the eradication of
the saloons is being made could be re-
pealed at the next session of congress.
But even then the saloons would have
been closed and il they were opened up
again 1t would have to be under the
state law.
All these phases Of the situation have
been and are being discussed at length,
both pro and con, but all is surmise and
conjecture. Only the slow but irresist.
ible grind of the federal government
and its laws can develop what will
happen.

wrecked by the explosion. Speaking
Of the explosion, Chandler said: You
can say for me that there is no doubt
that this terrible outrage can be laid
at the doors of the labor unions.
They have destroyed the building and
the plant and have killed a number Of
our men-we do not know how many
but they can't kill The Times.
There is no doubt but that the ex-
plosion was caused by a charge OF
dynamite placed apparently in a little
blind alley in the center of the build
ing. For years we have been receiving
threatening letters from people who
that the paper ought to De blown
up"
IN issue of the paper was gotten
out today from the composing and
press rooms of The Los Angeles Her

Times office in another part of the

The Times had established an auxili-
airy plant at College and San Francisco
streets, with the expectation that the
present plant would be destroyed.

Al farmer from Sabin stated that
some Of the fields in that locality are
going 40 bushels to the acre. He also
stated that there will be more building
going on around Sabin next year than
any year since that country commenced
settling up. This is due to great
extent to the large yield Of potatoes
during the past few years, which has
put the farmers on a footing whereby
they can readily AFFORD to build.
