COAL THIEVES
ARE CAPTURED
THREE MEN TAKEN INTO Gus.
rooY LAST NIGHT FOR PlLFER-
ING BLACK DIAMONDS" FROM
GREAT NORTHERN YARDS
TWO SENT TO JAIL.

The offering OF coal from the Great
Northern IN this city had become so
annoying TO the company That G. Fl.
Knapp was given authority as a spec
ial officer to try and apprehent the
thieves. The theory prevailed that
the stealing was being done by worth
less characters. and not by local peo-
pie, Officer Knapp has been keeping
his eyes open AND little by little ne
began to get near the culprits who
were keeping warm at the expense of
the railroad company
Last night Knapp had his lines out
and during the late hours he made a
catch OF three men, and with the aid
OF Officer Bergstrom the trio were
landed In the Jail.
The defendants proved to be strang
ers, camping in shack, and all were
charged with petty larceny OF coal be-
fore Justice Wade this morning. One
of the men. IL was found. had no part
in the stealing of coal last night and
he gave valuable information to the
police and court, and was discharged,
Jim Walsh, young man, entered a
plea of guilty and was sent to jail for
ten days. Jim Murphy lied about the
matter to the court and to the police
and vowed he was innocent OF the
charge and demanded hearing. The
evidence against him was conclusive
and ne was fined $40 and costs or Atty
days in jail--he had no money and to
jail he was taken without any delay.
Murphy told the court that the next
time he would tell the truth.
Other men are under suspicion and If
they are caught, as expected, no len
iency will be shown and they may have
to await the action of the grand jury.
Recently two men al st. Cloud were
convicted OF stealing coal from rail.

CALL POLICE TO
STOP SNOWBALLING
STUDENTS OF HIGH SCHOOL AND
BUSINESS COLLEGE HAVE USED
PEDESTRIANS FOR TARGETS
MELTING SNOW MAKES SPORT
ITS BEST.

Scores of complaints were registered
at the police station by irate persons,
some of whom called and others used
the telephone, against the sport that
high school and business college stu
dents are enjoying by snowballing.
One individual had a pair of glasses
battered Oft his head with balls of
the beautiful while another man s
hat was knocked off into a fine large
pool of water IN the gutter, as the re-
suit of too good aim on the part of one
chap.
1t appears that boys can't withstand
the temptation of the sport with the
snow in ideal condition. After being
confined to the school room for three
hours there Is sufficient pent no
energy TO make life miserable for
pedestrians. In many cases, IL school
has just heen dismissed, it is even
hazardous to walk from Front and
Eighth street south to the high school,

GRAND FORKS GIRL
VICTIM OF POISON
YOUNG CHILD DIES AFTER EAT
ING TROUGH ON RATS" AT
NEIGHBOURS HOME.

Grand Forks, March 3.-Tragic in
the extreme was the death shortly at-
ter midnight of Iva Lou Craver, the
3-year- old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Craver, 81 Euclid avenue, the
little girl dying from eating rough on
rats at the home of a neighbor during
the afternoon. During the afternoon
the child was playing with the child
rem OF a neighbor. While left in the
kitchen alone she saw a piece of bread
on a shelf and got II. On the bread
was smeared some Of the fatal poison.
but the child thinking 1t was some
kind of butter licked IL off and went
on playing.
The child was taken deathly sick at
s o'clock in the afternoon, after she
had returned home. Naturally her
parents did not find out for several
hours what was wrong and when a
physician was called IL was too late
Death came at 1910 o'clock yesterday
morning.
The tragedy is particularly pathetic
from the fact that the father has been
laid up with sickness practically all
winter. There are FIVE other children
in the family, the eldest being a boy
of II years. The Cravers have been
residents of Grand Forks since last
summer, Mr.. Craver being a photog-
rapher by trade.
Mrs. Charles Kavanaugh. at whose
home the child ate the poison, is al
most overcome with grief.

HEPBURN and
CARTER in CLASH
IDAHO AND MONTANA soLoNs
ENGAGE IN HEATED coLLoouY
OVER POSTAL BANK BILL.

washington, March s.-The ad-
ministration postal savings bank bill
NAV be referred back to the postofflce
committee when the time comes today
for a vote on that. measure by the sem
ate
Senator Hepburn OF Idaho so init
mated in a speech in the senate yes
terday on his substitute for the pend
ing bill. Whether he would offer a
substitute, he said, would depend up
on developments tomorrow.
IT have heard many expressions Of
dissatisfaction with the legislation as
IL stands" he said. "A number of
senators have indicated a desire that
the bill be recommitted in order that
ii may have further consideration be-
fore we commit ourselves irrevocably
to the policy. of q postal savings sys-
temt
He added that the republican party
was under no pledge to pass savings
law at the very beginning of the Taft
administration.
5 Sharp Clash Follows
Mr.. Heyburns speech was followed
by sharp clash between himself and
Senator Carter in charge of the bill.
Mr.. Carter charged him with, trying
to change the constitutional character
of the bill by altering the title
Mr.. Hepburn denied this, and Mr..
Carter undertook to show that he had
done SO. While the Montana senator
was speaking, Mr.. Hepburn sought to
interrupt. Mr.. Carter declined to yield.
IL should think he would decline
after such a speech as he has made"
declared the Idaho senator, and started
out of the chamber.
And l." retorted the Montana sen
ator would think that the senator
would leave the room after such a
speech as he has made"
Mr.. Carter declared the Hepburn
substitute ridiculous.
Mr. Heyburns measure provides for
a postal savings bank at the capital
city Of each state and the bill pro-
ceeds upon the theory that a govern
ment savings system is constitutional
ly permissible only under the borrow
ing clause of the constitution.
