FORMER FARGOAN
Died in COLORADO
WILLIAM cLouTiER, ONCE WITH
THE STANDARD OIL co. IN
THIS CITY, DIED YESTERDAY AT
ST. FRANCIS HOSPITAL, COL
oRADo SPRINGS.

William Cloutier, former resident
of this city, died yesterday at st.
Francis hospital, Colorado Springs,
Co. at the age Of 80 years.
This sad news was conveyed in a
telegram to the deceased's father-in-
law. Judge H. f. Miller of this city
yesterday afternoon. A message was
also received by Secretary Orchard of
the Elks this morning.
William Cloutier was raised in this
city and was son of Bernard Clou-
tier, formerly of Fargo, but now re-
siding at Minneapolis, where he NOV
ed few years ago. The deceased is
survived by his widow, who is daugh-
ter of Judge Miller and two children,
a girl of and a boy OF 5, who are at
the home of the judge and have been
since Mr.. Cloutier went west some
time ago. He is also survived by his
parents, his sisters, Florence and Mary
and one brother Harry, all of Mtnnea-
polls.
1t was about three years ago that
Mr.. Cloutier was stricken with pneu-
monia, and he never wholly recovered
from that, for tuberculosis of the
lungs followed and since that time he
had been an invalid. He went west in
the hope that the climate would help
him, but such was not the case.
He must have had a wonderful VII
tally, for nearly three months ago
the physicians at the hospital wrote
here that his death might be expected
at any time.
During the Christmas holidays he
sent cards and letters to a number of
his friends in Fargo and they were all
of a hopeful character He was a
great sufferer, yet he bore it all with
great fortitude and patience
He had host of friends, for he was
Of pleasant, sunny disposition and
was the life of any company he was in.
He was a member of Fargo lodge of
Elks No. 260, and was a member of
the Fargo lodge of the A. o. u. w
He was a loving husband and father
and true friend. Before his illness
he was connected with the local Office
Of the Standard Oil Co. as auditor and
was counted an expert in that line
of work.
The remains will be sent to Mime
APP lis and they are exported TO reach
there on Friday night of this week.
Mrs Cloutier and the two children
will leave this evening for Mime
apolis and Judge Miller will go down
on Friday night. The bereaved family
and relatives have the deepest sym
pathy of all who know them in their
hour of sorrow.
A brother of the deceased died only
two or three weeks ago in Minneapolis
of the same dread disease, so that VIII
liam's death comes as a double blow
on his parents

HICKEY CASE One
OF COMPLICATIONS
ENTIRE MORNING TAKEN UP
WITH THE CHARGING OF THE
JURY BECAUSE OF DIFFICULTY
IN FIXING THE CONDITIONS IN
THE CASE. $500

With the closing Of the John Hickey
suit against Stewart Wilson, many
complications regarding the case were
brought out.
Yesterday afternoon the attorneys on
both sides argued their positions un-
til o'clock in the evening. Each at
torney brought out some very In
tricate points for the jury to con-
slider when rendering the verdict.
This morning the entire time of
the court was taken up with the max
ing and delivery of the charge to the
jury. So numerous were the different
points of the law in the case, and so
much complication of conditions de-
veloped in the testimony, that it took
much care on the part of the court
to deliver the charge to the salts
faction of both the paintiff and the de-
Tense.
This morning Judge Pollock had a
very severe cold and was unable to
read the charge to the jury. Capt.
E. c. Gearey, jr., clerk of the court
read the charge, which was a most
lengthy one.

FRED Bowers GETS
A BLOODHOUND
A THOROUGHBRED BLOODHOUND
SENT TO FARGO DESK SER
eEANT FROM sUNKVILLE, GER
MANY BOWERS is PLEASED
AT FJRST-BUT ALAS!

Desk Sergeant Bowers of the Fargo
police department has thoroughbred
bloodhound with which he can run
down criminals.
Yesterday the genial desk man at the
police station received a crate by a
special express messenger and enclosed
was a canine. The exterior Of the
box bore the name of Fred Bowers"
and was addressed to him as Desk
Sergeant, Fargo Police Department,
Fargo, N. D., L. S. A" The package
came from Bunkville, Germany, and
on the outside of the crate were
stamped in large letters: valuable,
thoroughbred bloodhound pup"
Naturally, Bowers was elated over
the gift and peered down into the crate
to see what his kennel find was like.
All the friends of the police sergeant
around the city hall were called in, to
see the mysterious package and wit

After the dog enthusiasts had peered
into the depths Of the crate, a receiving
line was arranged for the blooded ami
NAL Slowly Bowers tore the top pieces
of the crate off and proceeded to lift
his dog up to the eyes of the ex-
pectant admirers.
But alas! 1t was not a bloodhound,
nor did it ever look like a bloodhound.
The dog was nothing more than COM

Organized labor in Fargo certainly
has reason to be proud of the strides
1t has made in the past few years. Up
10 about six years ago the only unions
of any Importance were the plumbers,
printers and tailors, and they were in
the habit of holding their meetings
first in one hall. then in another and
very often in the workshop of some
proprietor who was particularly in
terested in the welfare of his employees.
About half dozen years ago a CEN
trail body was formed, and, after many
ups and downs. began running smooth-'
ly. They leased for term of years
the east half of Loyal Knights temple,
calling it Union hall
The assembly was doubtful about
the propriety of the undertaking, but
have experienced no difficulty in pay
ing the running expenses since that
time. The idea, of course, in securing
commodious and central quarters was
to have all the unions meet in one
building, thus creating more brother
ly feeling and also to have each or
ganization feel that it was it's duty to
help in every way possible to up
build untonisn in the gate city of the
northwest. a 4a.
That the judgment of the officers Of
the assembly was sound, is now evil
denced by the fact that the central
body has secured lease for the en-
tire second story of Loyal knights
temple, control of which will date
from Feb. /.
The union men of Fargo will feel
proud of the manner in which the
assembly conducts its affairs, as Fargo
can boast of having the most commo-
dious labor headquarters of any city in
the entire west, Chicago being no ex-
ception.
The owners of the block will do con-
siderable repairing and thus make the
labor temple one of the most desirable
meeting places in the city, and, by all
odds, the most central and convenient.

SOUTH SIDERS
Want PAVING
PROPERTY OWNERS OF THE
THIRD AND FOURTH WARDS
HOLD MEETING AND DECIDE TO
HAVE THEIR STREETS PROPER.
LY PAVED.

That the streets of the Third and
Fourth wards should be repaved, was
the decision of number of residents
of these two city districts at meet
ing held last night at the court house.
Quite number of the property own
ers of the two wards attended the
meeting and there was not a dissent
ing vote regarding the repaving propo-
sition, although the time when the
work should be taken up, caused much
discussion. A number of the tax
payers were favorable towards begin
ming the work the next spring. while
some of the others wanted to wait an
entire year.
The kind of paving to be used and
the cost of the same, came up for con-
sideration. The city engineer was pres
ent and gave the cost of creosote
block paving to be S2.66 a square foot,
the cost of bithulitic at SEAS per
square foot, and the cost of curbing
would range from S. cents to $3.50 a
foot.
Mr.. Anders also spoke Of the city
paving proposition, and told how some
of the making of streets in Fargo had
cost the city more than was necessary,
because of the fact that good judg-
nent had not been used in letting the
contracts at the, proper time of the
year. However, he did not say, as has
been reported, that the city of Fargo
had ever gotten the worst of the pro-
position in some of it's paving deals.
Mr.. Anders also advised the streets
be not less than tWenty-four feet wide,
and in the streets where there were
street car lines, he advocated that
they be not less than thirty-two feet
in width.
In citing the cost of paving per
square foot, this does not give the
amount, by calculation, that any in
dividual property owner will have to
pay for his share Of the work done.
The reason for the fact that lots of
certain size will cost more than indi-
Gated, is that the assessment commits
sion will sum up the total cost of the
paving and will make the levies ac-
cording to its best discrimination.
However, should anyone desire, they
may object to the assessment against
them and in this manner, possibly
secure a reduction in the same.
Mayor Lowell presided at the meet
ing last night, he being a property
owner on the south side, in the dis
trict considered Aldermen Jardine
and Clapp were also present at the
meeting to hear what their consti-
tuency desired in the paving line, and
with these three city officials present,
1t is probable that something definite
will be done in this line at the next
meeting Of the city council.

EACH PARTY ssEs HOPE.
The Washington Politicians Get Much
Consolation.

Observation-Disclosures in Wash
ington after closely analyzing the re-
suits of Tuesdays election, generally
concede that It somewhat complicated
the presidential outlook, with about
equal advantages for Republicans and
Democrats. Their views are about as
badly mixed as were the returns, but
all parties profess to find consolation
in the outcome The fact that local
issues entered into the various cam
paigns makes II difficult to use the re.
suits as basis for accurate forecast.
Republicans say the overturning Of
the legislatures in New Jersey and
New York and the character of the
chief magistracy OF Maryland pretend
Republican victory next year. Dem.
ocrats point to the revolt in such
cities as Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Col.
umbus and innumerable smaller
towns, and the reelection OF Foss in
Massachusetts, as harbinger of party
success next year and indicative Of
the trend of the popular mind against
the party in power.
w. l.. Houser, in charge of the
Progressive Republican League, or La
Toilette headquarters in Washington
made no statement for publication
about the result, but he and those as.
sociated with him evidently believe
they see in the election of Tuesday
a material gain in progressive senti-
ment.

REVOLUTION IS SWEEPING ON
Canton, the Largest Chinese City,
Formally Proclaims Its lndepend-
ence--Foochow Turned over
To Revolutionsts.

Peking.-The residents of the For
hidden City are taking in great guam
titles of rice and other stores. Fif'
teen hundred infantry and 500 cavalry
of the Manchu First Division, who lied
from Shi Kia-Chuang after the as
sassination of General WI Lu.Cheng,
arrived here and entered the city. The
Legations consider that all hope for
the Manchu dynasty has vanished.
All consular reports received at the
Imperial capital agree that the revo-
lutionary spirit has got beyond con-
troll throughout the empire with the
exception of Manchuria. The foreign
legations have arranged ample protec'
ton for foreigners. The officials OF
the British legation are preparing to
exercise their right of guarding the
railroad from Peking to Tien-Tsin.
The temper of the Manchu troops
remains the most serious considera-
ton. The Chinese greatly fear that
they may precipitate a conflict Al
lowing for recent desertions, 1t is
estimated that there are 22,5OO
Manchu troops.
Prince Ching, the acting premier,
stated that the Manchus did not in
tend, If besieged, to defend Peking.
Chinese officials believe that while the
Manchus intend fully to guard against
surprise inside the city, should the
revolutionaries make serious demon
stration outside the walls, the court
would begin negotiations, giving up, II
necessary, all but their lives and ac-
cepting such provision for the future
as may be offered
The city of Foochow is in the hands
of the revolutionists. After taking II
they wiped out the entire Manchu dis
trict The foreign settlements have
not been disturbed, but fires have
broken out in several sections of the
native city, threatening its destruc-
tion. Foochow is one of the most i'm
portant cities of the south, having a
population of 100000 1t is the seat
of a naval arsenal government ship
yards, a mint, school of navigation
and a large dry dock.
The situation in Annoy is quiet, but
a serious state of affairs is threaten
ed, owing to the scarcity of provisions.
Most of the city's supply junks were
captured by pirates in spectacular
raid, the entire crew of one ship be-
ing massacred.
The American cruiser Albany ar
rived at Annoy together with a Japa-
nese destroyer.
