Wahpeton, N. d., March 1.-The
Wahpeton- Breckenridge Street Rail-
way Co, is having plans and estimates
prepared for the proposed interurban
electric line which is as follows:
Southwest to Hankinson following
section lines, through Great Bend and
the most Tricky settled portions
from Breckenridge to GAINESVILLE, fol-
lowing what Is known as the old grade,
one mile south of Mansion, branch
line will run east through Rothsay into
Otter Tail county and that magni-
fcent park and lake region, the pleas
ure and pride of Minnesota. Thence
between Star Dead Lake. northeast to
Perham on the N p. railway. The
company has in this connection a plan
to construct their own power plant at
some points ond on the line in Otter
Tail county, enabling them to furnish
their own power and also supply Roth
say, GAINESVILLE and other points as
also the farmers along the line
A general freight and passenger
business@will be conducted, warehouses
and elevators built, nothing being left
undon that can in any way make the
enterprise a success which it undoubt-
eddy will be from the start, as the
men behind it have wide business ex-
perience and plenty of money, two in
dispensable elements in the success Of
any enterprise.
This line will tap sections of Rich
land county, N. D., and Willkin and
Otter Tail counties, Mimi, that are
now some distance from any railway
line, the farmers of which would be put
in closer touch with local markets.
Breckenridge will be the company
headquarters and doubtless car and
machine shops will be maintained at
that point.

KILLS FORMER WIFE.
After Murder the Slayer Washes His
Hands and Disappears.

New York, July PA murder was
done swiftly and brutally in the apart
ments Of Mrs. Mary Weber at 465 Lin
den street, Ridgewood. Edward Flynn,
her brother, cut the throat of the wo-
man who had been his wife five years
ago, then hurried to the house of an
other sister, there washed his hands
and disappeared. ~
Flynn is an elevated railway EN-.
ployee. Five years ago he married

only two weeks. Mrs. Flynn called at
the Weber apartment evidently to
keep an appointment with her hus-
band. AS Mrs. Weber afterward out
lined the swift events Of the murder,
there was a quarrel between the two.
Then there was the sound of a scuf1e,
and even when she heard a body fall
Mrs. Weber did not interfere. She
heard her brother close the door Of the
parlor and run down the single flight
of stairs to the street door. Many
minutes after he had gone Mrs. Weber
looked in the parlor. She saw her
brothers wife lying In the middle of
the floor.

THE SWIMMER
Record for Distance--NeW
York to Hook.

New York, July 24.-Charles Durbur
row Of Philadelphia accomplished
what was probably the greatest long
distance swim that has ever been
made in the waters around New York
when he swan from the Battery to
within one and a quarter miles OF
Sandy Hook.
With three-quarters Of the distancs
covered Durburrow here me the food
tide with disastrous effect, and he was
forced to give up the struggle when
he had reached q point called Flynn's
knoll.
Mr.. Durburrow was in the water
six hours and forty-one minutes. Al
though he failed to reach his ultimate
destination, his performance has never
been equalled, He used the ~trudgeon
stroke most Of the way, but in order
to rest himself he changed to the
breast stroke for the last half mile. II
was not because of any natural weak
ness, however, that he stopped, but be
cause he would have to wait In tho
water almost four hours for favorable
conditions.
Mr.. Durburrow holds an amateur
record swim of thirty-four miles over
the Chester Philadelphia course on the
Delaware. He denied the report that
he was going abroad to endeavor to
swim across the English channel.

NO TENDERF00T
Western Bronco Has Added
Two More Victims.

Orange, N. J., July 24-Guncotton, a
buCking bronco that almost killed its
boy owner, Gerald Tynor Of Park ave
nue., several weeks Ago., has added two
more boys to its list of injured. The
new victims are Daniel A. Dugan, Jr.,
nineteen years old, son of Judge Dan
Tel A. Dugan of the Orange district
court, and James Clark, eighteen,
whose home IS in High street. The
boys tried to ride the bronco on q dare
made by several companions. Dugan's
left leg was torn severely, and his
head was cut. Clark suffered injury
of his left hand and was bruised and
dred persons saw the mishaps.
When the father of young Tynor
heard Of the trouble he told his son,
who still is suffering from the injuries
inflicted recently by Guncotton, that
the bucking bronco must be given
away or he will have it shot. The
boy is looking for some one to accept
the bucker after signing an agreement
to assume all the risk Of riding, driv-
ing or attempting to break the animal.
Guncotton came from Lander, Wyo.
The animal was sent east with a car
load Of western ponies. Tynor thought
he could tame anything On four hoofs.
Young Dugan and Clark, his cousin,
were two Of a Jolly crowd that went
to the stable where Guncotton Is kept
Dugan said he thought he could ride
the bronco. His companions laughed
and dared him to try 1t. Instead of
rushing around the stable yard and
bueking and kicking there, Guncotton
leaped the fence and dashed down to
White street. There the animal crash
ed against a board fence, tanning and
tearing its riders leg. The next lunge
cut Dugan's head, and the third sent
him to dust.
That did not satisfy Clark's desire
to emulate the cowboys. He mounted
again. That time the bronco leaped
the fence and bucked with such sud
denness Clark was hurled from the
saddle and turned a somersault before
he struck the ground. He had his left
hand In the surcingle when the buck
came, and the lunge was 50 terrific 1t
almost wrenched his fingers off. He
was carried to his home and placed In
the care of the family physician.
