Edgar Hall, farm labOrer.- en-
ployed near Eagle. Lake, was arrest
ed last night in Louis Balzer's liv-
cry barn, where he was pulling a
bed to pieces, looking for something.
He pleaded guilty to the charge OF
drunkenness this morning, when ar
raigned in the municipal court, and
was sentenced to pay fine of So
and costs, or to be confined in the
county Jail at hard labor for ten
days. He paid the fine. He said
that this was his first arrest, and
that he had never been drunk be-
fore, but got in with crowd yes
terday after he had accompanied his
employer to the city on load of
wheat to get his hair cut and buy a
few things. He said that his home
was originally fifteen miles from
Ohio, and that he had
gone to South Dakota and "a. year
ago took claim, but there were NO,
crops and he had come east to the
first place where there was any work.
Hall is fifty years old, has no fam
lily, and appears like an honest hard
working man. 80

From Wednesdays Daily.
Deputy Sheriff Ed. Ario went to
WinnebagO last night and returned
this morning with Louis Brown, the
hobo arrested there on the charge
of being one of the five men who
held up and robbed three Italian
railway laborers near Lake Crystal,
on the night of July 81. Brown was
arraigned before Judge Comstock'
this forenoon, and demanded hear
tomorrow forenoon.
Brown is charged with robbery in
the first degree, and the complaint
alleges that he assaulted Thomas
James and Gligae Taleff in the course
of the robbery. The court fixed the
bail at $500, and as Brown could
not furnish it he was committed to
the county Jail. :.
Says He Has an AIibi.
Brown, after his arraignment, said
to The Free Press reporter that he
wished a hearing, as he was not
guilty and had nothing to do with,
the assault and robbery, and was at
Mason City, Iowa, at the. time He
said that he was employed on July
81 by Mr.. Stanbery. a coal dealer
at Mason City: and that this man
could exonerate him. -. When asked
where his home was, Brown said
that he had no home. He came
from Canada. 49, - .svK a.z
Deputy Sheriff Ario, while in Win
nebago, subpoenaed the three Italians
who were. held UP, to appear tomorr'
row as witnesses against Brown The
Italians were positive in their identirs
fication of Brown. !t,,ss. j.
Stanbery Sent For.
At the request of Brown, Mr.. Ario
today telegraphed to Stanbery, ask
ing that he come tomorrow. as a wit
ness for the defense. 1t is Browns
purpose to try to prove an alibi. He
says that he did not leave Mason
City until a week ago Monday, when
he came north.
The prisoner is a rather small
man, very dark, with sunken cheeks,
and has black eyes. He looks as
though he might be of French de-
scent, with possibly some Indian
blood in his veins. 10y

Mrs. Ruth Roberts, who has been

be able to accompany her home and

One night last week about four

a train on the Northwestern rail-
road between Judson and Cambria
stations, nine of which belonged to
Gwesyn Jones. 1t seems they all
were lying down on the track when
the train came and being dark, the
engineer didn't see them in time to
stop his train. 1t is understood the

see the parties interested last Mon
day, but didn't learn the results
as to how they agreed as to who
was responsible for the stock being
on the track.

CoaI.land Valuations.

The midsummer work of the United
States Geological Survey shows no
lessening in conservation activities.
During the month of June the land
classification board of the Survey
appraised 174.910 acres as coal land
in the Western states, placing valu-
alton thereon of $3,239,369. At the
minimum price under which these
lands could have been sold before the
present regulations were in force,
this same area would have brought
only 81 ,932, 179. During June the Sur
vey also classified 1,415,415 acres
noncoal land and transmitted the find
ings to the general land office so that
the land might be restored to the
public domain. These classifications
were based on the field examinations
of the Survey biologists.
There have been now classified un-
der the present administration, in the
40-acre tracts, 16,873,370 acres as coal
land with the valuation of $711 1892, 537
The valuation of these same lands at
the minimum prices would have been
1896, 652,43 the difference in favor of
the government under the present
policy being therefore 445,340,106
During the same period 39,215,844
acres have been classified as noncoal
land and restored 10 the public do

of supposed coal land were made in
North Dakota and Wyoming, embrac-
ing 7'4,923 acres, and four restor-

APPEARS WITH
RUSSIAN PRINCE
Nine CavaIieri Created Sem
SatiOn in London Hotel
Recently

LONDON, July 80. Mime. Cava-
lieri, though still Mrs. Chanler, created
a sensation here this week by appear
ing publicly at the Hotel Bristol in the
company of the Russian prince, DOL
gorouki.' She is staying here under
an assumed name, accompanied by one
servant. During the day she wears a
black motor bonnet, coming forward
over the eyes, a tight black dress,
hobble style.
The prince, large tall man, quietly
dressed, follows her closely every
where.
Male guests of the Bristol did not at
first recognize the famous beauty and
an admiring party of men followed
her about the hotel. Things came to
a crisis Sunday when, as she almost
ran toward the glass lift, six men fol-
lowed her, one behind the other, with
the prince in front. All gazed at her
as she stepped into the lift and turn
ed with theatrical air to smile at her
followers as the lift removed her from
sight.

ChEWS FINGERS
Of man whom
He ROBBED

FARGO, Aug. John Moss and his
section foreman had a terrific struggle
in the dark with burglar early Satur.
day morning in the hotel at Durbin,
short distance west of Casselton, in
which Moss had the nails of botl
thumbs chewed off by his assailant
and was struck over the head with
some sharp instrument, while the Sec
ton foreman had to lie quiet, fearing
to attempt to assist lest he should
injure the wrong man.
The two men, section man and his
foreman, occupied room in the rear
of the hotel, which is now conducted
by Mrs. Sullivan. There was a light
burning in the room and something
awakened Moss, and he saw in the dim
light man going through the trous-
sers of the two railroaders.
He at once got up and seized the
man, who blew out the light as soon
as he saw he was discovered. Then
followed terrific struggle in which
the burglar managed to get Moss
thumb in his mouth and chewed off
the end as well as the nail. The
struggle continued and in some man.
ner Moss other thumb met with a
like result.
Moss called for help but in the
total darkness the foreman was afraid
to go to the assistance of his man
fearing that he would get hold OF the
wrong man and serious results would
follow.
Finally the burglar in some way
got hold of some kind of sharp in
strument and he struck Moss a ter
rifle blow over the head which render
ed him partially unconscious and cut
a long Eash.
The man then managed to slip from
the room and the lamp was again
lighted but the burglar had dissa-
peared.
There appears to be no clue as to
the indemnity of the man who attempt
ed the robbery.
