CASE TO
DISTRICT COURT

Minot, N. D., Sept. 23.-Attorneys for
A. Toscas, q Greek, charged with de-
faulting the Great Northern railroad,
filed an affidavit of prejudice against
Judge Davis yesterday morning and
the court certified the case to the dis
trict court.
The Toscas case has excited consid-
cradle interest in the city and also in
the state. He was employed by the
Great Northern as an interpreter and
acted as their agent in securing labor
ers for the company The case evil
IDENTIFY arises out of an effort on the
part of certain Italians to procure po-
sitions held by Toscas with the Great
Northern. The company had heard in
a round about way that Toscas was
trying to defraud them and so sent out
a couple of Italians from st. Paul to
trap him. They represented themselves
to Toscas as laborers stating that they
wished to go to Seattle and asked him
to procure transportation for them,
which he did They claimed that it
was necessary to pay Toscas some
thing for doing this. The defense
claims there was no fraud as the COM
pany was a party to the deal.
Toscas was brought for trial in the
district court in Grand Forks some
time ago and he was acquitted by
Judge Templeton, the case never
reaching the jury. The outcome of
the case will be watched with consid-
cradle interest. 1t will in all prob
ability be tried at the next term of
district court

FIRE FIGHTERS
DO splendid WORK
CHIEF SUTHERLAND AND HIS
MEN PRAISED FOR THEIR EFFI-
GENT WORK THIS MORNING ON
BLAZE AT CREST RESIDENCE
ON NORTH SIDE.

Shortly after midnight the fire de-
partment was summoned to the resi-
dence of John Crest, retired farmer,
at 1924 Seventh street north to extin-
guish a blaze which threatened the
destruction of the home. With dis
patch the fire fighters responded to
the call and soon had under control
what might have proved a disastrous
blaze. The fire broke out in the attic
of the house and the loss is estimated
at about 5000.
The origin of the fire is not known
and no other part of the residence
was damaged other than the garnet
and a slight portion of the roof. 1t Is
thought that the blaze started early in
the evening and had probably been
smoldering for several hours before
breaking out When the department
arrived, the family and neighbors were
doing their best with the garden hose,
but the immediate use of chemicals
quenched the flames at once.
This morning the fire department
boys were highly commended for their
splendid work by Mr.. Crest and many
of the residents of the neighborhood.
All are generous in their praise of
their efforts and believe they prevent
ed what might have been in the face
of the high wind, disastrous neigh
bcrhood fire, which might have re-
suited in much loss of property and
homes.
o. s. King, of the agricultural col
lege, who resides next door to the
Crest residence, said today, 1T wish
The Forum would express for me and
my neighbors, my deep appreciation
of the efforts of the fire department
last night. Their work was splendid
and saved us all, and 1 do not feel
that we can thank the department too
much"

on Friends.

Fargo baseball fans were greatly
surprised today with the sudden an
nouncement of the marriage OF the
Fargo Athletics popular second base
man, Harry A. Nelson. to Miss Hazel
Woodruff of Fergus Falls, MINI. The
marriage is the result OF a baseball
romance, as the young couple met last
summer when Mr.. Nelson was playing
at his brides home town. The mar
riage ceremony was performed last
night at the residence OF Mrs. Wright,
a sister of the bride, on First avenue
north.

among the Fargo fans, stole a march
on all his friends as the announcement
comes most unexpectedly to a great
number. His best and closest friends
were in on the secret of the engage
ment but were not apprised as to just
when the happy event would take
place. Only a very few witnessed the
ceremony. The groom was attended by

Chicago, Sept. 23.--Wheat: Liver
pool reported their market early X to

worlds shipments and larger exports

ate demand for cash wheat here for

no demand whatever for export, either
here or at the seaboard. The prospects
are that the visible viii show another

light all day and mostly of a local

market ruled nervous within mar
