and his race. but that he shall bide
his time. knowing that a sunny aft

Berger certainly needs no coaching.
he has a line of, talk. with Jeories

says that Jeff will lick the negro as

That is Berger's idea, supported
by what Jed himself thinks, which
is about as good Information as can
be CLEANED from the Californian
camp. Reports which nave been

Jeffries appeared in his theatrical

yesterday and bore down hard on the
lair of the local gamblers by closing
a place at No. "A West Third street,
in the heart of the city, that is reputed
to have been operated by So called
syndicate" OF gamblers. The cry of
a victim who had been f1eeced aroused
the sheriff to action.

a suit for $21,121.75 brought by Ste
phen A. Hall. a real estate man,
against James Clarity, Jacob Stern
and Charles l.. Loomis. proprietors of
the place. Hall claims he lost the
money playing faro.

ment was issued to the sheriff at once.
In the safe in the rooms of the Syndi-
cate $s1S.25 was found, and seized by

HORATIO king
TELLS OF WRECK
WELL KNOWN MAGAZINE WRITER
A SURVIVOR OF THE WRECK OF
THE PRINCESS MAY RETURNED
TO FARGO ToDAY-NARRoWLY
ESCAPED DEATH.

Horatio L. King Of New York, who
is one Of the survivors Of the wreck
Of the Princess May off Sentinel Is
land, in Pacific waters between Seattle
and Juneau. returned to Fargo today
OF his wife and mother, who have been
spending the summer in Fargo and
who have been anxiously awaiting his
arrival. The disaster, Mr.. King says,
was one of the most narrowing and at
the same time dramatic he has heard
Of in history or fiction. He states that
the cause of the wreck was that the
vessel caught on one of the dangerous
reefs of the mainland.
BY the aid of small boats passengers
aboard were carried to Sentinel Island,
where they were picked up three days
later by small steamer the Georgia,
and later they were taken aboard the
Princess Beatrice, returning from Ju-
neau. Several North and South Da-
kota people were numbered among the
passengers and also a few from Min
nesota.
While in the interior of the Alaskan
peninsular, Mr.. King was in company
with two other magazine pliters Of
note, Emerson Hough and Arthur Mac
Farlane. Neither of the latter two
made the return trip with Mr.. King
leaving him at Dawson and going over
the Canadian frontier.
Mr.. King leaves Fargo in the morn
ing for South Dakota, and thence on
to New York, after which a trip to
Mexico is contemplated.

AVIATORS RACE
In RAGING GALE

Douai, FRANCE. Aug. 15.-After a
thrilling battle with a storm that was
so fierce as to blown down telegraph
poles, Aviator Auburn today won the
fourth lap of the big cross country
aeroplane flight from Hezieres to
Douai, eighty-seven miles. 1t was
LeBlancs first defeat in the four days
racing. He is still ahead of Auburn,
however. for the total distance of 372
miles since the race started.
Leblanc left Mezeries at 3:55 p. m.
and Auburn at 1909 p. m. Auburn
reached Douai at $50 D. m. and Lee
Blanc at 7:10 p. m. The men had a
fearful struggle with the wind and all
along the route they were seen to be
in trouble. Auburn gave an interest
ing account of his trip.
L think at times must have
travelled at the rate of seventy-five
miles an hour" he said. Il know 1
went at least 100 miles out of the way.
1t was fierce struggle to keep my ma
chine with an even keel. l feared sat
times that the wind would tip me over
and my muscles became almost numb
from the constant effort Of righting the
aeroplane. I wouldn't want to go
through another such flight for all the
prizes in the world, but having once
started, and knowing that Leblanc
would never turn back, stuck it out.
Il never would have believed that an
aeroplane could have done what our
machines did today. We drove right
into the teeth of the wind. / am now
convinced that skillful manipulation can
send an aeroplane through almost any
sort Of weather."

ULEN MAN FOUND dead
BODY of Frank Nilsson, a Prominent
Farmer, Found in Room in
Crookston Hotel.

The body of Frank Nilsson, prom
and prosperous farmer living near
near UIen, Clay county, was found in
room at the Central hotel at Crooks
ton, by Chief ofsPolice Dreamer, late
last Friday afternoon. The chief made
a forced entrance and found the body,
dressed in night clothes near the door.
Death had been caused by Bright's
disease and other complications.
Mr.. Nilsson arrived in Crookston on
Thursday afternoon and wen to the
office of DR.. Holte, who had been treat
ing him for some time, and secured a
prescription. He had the prescription
filled at a local drug store, but failed
to call for 1t.
On Friday evening after the train
had arrived at Ulen and Nilsson was
not on 1t, his wife telephoned to DR..
Hottie at Crooksron, for the cause. 1t
was found that he had stopped at the
Grand Central and Chief Dreamer went
over to investigate and with the clerk
went to Nilson's room, which was
locked, and broke in the door as stated,
Death had occurred several hours be-
fore. ...A -... .frs
Nilsson had evidently been taken sick
in the night. In the morning the cham.
bermaid found the door locked, and
reported the matter to, the clerk, He
went up to investigate and peepet
over the transom. He could see nc
one but heard some one moving just
inside the door and supposed Nilsson
was dressing and thought no more of
the incident till the inquiry for Nilsson
was started. Now the clerk presumes
that Nilsson was crawling toward the
door when he went to look over the
transom, but for some reason coulo
not cry out. Deceased was about 40
years of age and highly esteemed.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Letter.

u Chicago, Aug. is. - Wheat: The
market opened at O sharp decline,
ranging from 5-S to / 1-2, rallied
sfractionaIly only to break again under
liquidation by local professionals and
4 the influence Of relay of bearish sta
tistics. Owing to the holiday in the
\ continent there was not much in the
way of export business, although
Baltimore reports two cargoes had
been worked to France and New York
, reported a charter OF an $4,000 quarter
steamer for French ports. AS the for
eign demand has been the chief basis
of the recent strength, the absence Of
such demand today was the chief cause
of the setback in prices, the market
lacking the support furnished by such
! demand and feeling the weight Of the
heavy movement and cash position.
, We incline to the opinion that the for
eign demand will be forthcoming again
| and therefore prefer tho long side on
the depressions.
