Men Returning.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Twelve carmen
who left the Illinois Central shops
at Burnside last Saturday when the
general strike Of the shopmen began,
returned to their work today. The
railroad officials declare that dozens
of men will return from now on, as
many of the strikers have applied
for their old places and will be taken
back. The Representatives of the la
Dor unions deny these statements and
declare that the road is unable to
move more than half of its freight
business because of the impacted
service due to the strike.
Despite the denials of the strikers
there are about 500 men now at work
in the Burnside shops. The men were
not molested when they passed
through the gates leading to the
shops this morning.

MOST SNOW FOR
SEVERAL YEARS
HEAVY SNOW STORM TUESDAY NIGHT
MORE SNOW THAN FOR YEARS
LOOKS GOOD FOR CROP

Tuesday night and Wednesday
forenoon this section of the coun-
try was visited with one of the
heaviest snow storms seen in
years. This heavy fall, together
with what was already on the
ground gives us more snow than
we have had since the winter of
1867. Old timers see in this
heavy fall of snow the promise of
q good crop for next fall. They
claim that as they remember it we
had good crops each year of heavy
snow and people who we're here in
1907 remember that we had a very
good crop that season. We then
have every reason to expect a
good crop this coming summer.

Calico Ball

In response to verv original
poetical invitation written on a
piece of calico nearly all of Willis
ton society assembled in Gates
opera house last Thursday evening
at the calico ball given by St.
Peters Guild. The elaborate
decorations which the Elks had
used for their ''doings" the previous
evening were still in place and
called forth many exclamations of
admiration. The transformation
of the hall, the good music and
the fine crowd all combined to
make the event one of the social
successes of the season, success
financially as well, for the ladies
cleared about $25.

Origin Of Base Ball

A base bsIl crank has figured
out the origin Of the game thus:
''The devil was the first coacher.
He coached Eve, when she stole
first and Adam when he stole
second. When Ike met Rebecca
ut the we'll she vas walking with
the pitcher. Samson struck out q
good many when he beat the
Philistines. Cain made base hit
when he slew Abel. Abraham
sacrificed. The prodigal son made
a record home run. David was a
good thrower and Moses shut out
the Egyptiaas at the Red Sea.
The game was called of when the
flood came on account OF wet
grounds.

BOUND OVER TO
DISTRICT COURT
FORMER STATE TREASURER NCkF0RD
AFTER TWO DAYS HEARING IS
BOUND OVERSIZE 600 BONDS

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 3O.-Un-
der $4,000 bonds, G. L. Bickford,
former state treasurer of North
Dakota, charged with embezzle-
ment, was held to the district
court Saturday afternoon at the
conclusion of his preliminary hear
ing before Judge X. E. Perry.
The defendants brother, A. G.
Bickford, cashier of the First State
bank of Bowbells, was also put
under bonds to be held rs q witness.
The trial in the justloo court
started Friday afternoon aud lasted
until late the next evening. The
result was not unexpected, though
at the time the recess was taken
Friday night, it was felt that the
state had not developed = strong
case. The testimony brought out
Saturday morning and afternoon,
however, decidedly changed the
situation and made it apparent that
there would be no other ultimatum.
Among those subpeonaed as wit.
nesses were Lieutenant Governor
Burdick, Speaker Hsnley, both of
whom were excused for legislative
duties, as it was later determined
that the evidence which they would
be required to give would be un-
necessary. The main witness for
the state was Mrs. Ellen Mitchell,
who was chief clerk in the treasur-
er's Office during Mr.. Bickford's
incumbency. w. D. Austin. who
was deputy treasurer during the
Bickford administration, was an
other important witness.

fire DAMAGED
STATE OFFICE

Fire broke out in the Williston
State Office last night about nine
thirty. The alarm was sent in but
owing to the heavy snow it took
some time to get water turned
onto the flames. Owing to this
little delay the fire got consider
able headway and the type and
cases are a total loss. The ma
chinery and other contents of the
building were damaged to such an
extent that it is q question as to
whether they can even be rebuilt.
The building was also badly dam
aged. We understand that Mr..
Whitehead carried $l500.O0 iEsur-
ance.
