HEITINGER COUNTY
BOOSTS FOR EXPO.

Hettinger County Herald: The Mott
Commercial club has issued circular
letter telling of the wonderful ad.
vantages of the white City" and the
opportunities for prospective settlers
in Hettinger county. It is letter
worthy of commentator and much
credit is due Secretary George H.
Stone.
In a personal letter on the same
sheet Secretary Stone asks and urges
the people of Hettinger county to do
everything in their power to make a
success of the county exhibit at the
North Dakota Industrial Exposition
to be held September 26 to October
16, 1911.
Mr.. Stone asks everybody to help.
To be sure we do not have as good
crops as usual but there are in every
part of the county some fields of ex-
cellent grain and good vegetables. To
make the exposition a success and
benefit thereby, every commercial
body, every bank and real estate deal
er in the county must make special
effort to collect specimens of the very
best that this community affords.
growing grains, threshed grain, pota-
toes, corn and vegetables. This is an
especially good year for corn and po-
tatoes and they can make US a repu-
tation. It means work but If we all
cooperate it will return in profits to
US tenfold.

MORTON CO. PIGGERS
GETTING IN TROUBLE

Mandan News: Two blind pigs have
recently been raided, and two of the
four are pining in the county Jail as
a result of the alleged illegal traffic.
The first raid was made by Deputy
Sheriff Gabe Eckroth on two piggers
at Elgin, Bernard Ulrich and Frank
Lavachek, who were brought to town
and placed in the county Jail. The
hearing of the case was set for Tues
day, the eighth, before Justice 1ver-
son.
On Wednesday Sheriff Olson went
to Glen Ullin and served an Injunction
on H. Hellman and Henry Buerger,
who were complained of as running a
common nuisance. Before the siren
uous work of the states attorney and
the Industrious sheriff, which seems
unabating, it will not be long before
Morton county, at least, will be free
from the nuisances commonly desig-
mated blind pigs"

FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. SD

BRAKEMAN news FROM
MANDAN Interesting

Mandan News: Some little sensa'
boys of this city Sunday morning
when it was discovered that M. c,
Colbert, the freight brakeman who
was recently injured at Sweet Briar,
had pulled his stakes and silently left
the realm of Mandan. The sensation
was enhanced when it was discovered
by T. M. Solum, Colbert's roommate,
that valuable suitcase, to say moth
ing of a good merschaum pipe, had
also taken its departure some time
during the day.
As it was very probable that Col
bert and the missing articles, having
been roommates, had gone away to-
gether, or was sent west along the
line to head them off. Railroad De-
tective Graves of Glendive saw the
wanted articles on No. Sunday, but
being unable to get them, went on to
Forsythe, where he captured them and
returned to Mandan Tuesday morning.
In the meantime it was learned that
Colbert had borrowed diamond ring
from q brakeman working on the east
end and had gone away in such a rush
he had forgotten to return it.
The ring was returned Tuesday aft
er Colbert reached Mandan. But he
said that Colum, the man to whom the
suitcase belonged, had told him he
could have the articles in question,
and he had taken 1t, as his own prop
erty, starting to Spokane to visit his
aged mother. Solum chose to let this
story hold, and Colbert was set at
liberty. Detective Graves returned
to Glendive Tuesday night. Mean
while Colbert has severed his connec-
ton with the railway company.

Think ATTEMPT MADE
TO WRfCKPASSENGER
TRAINS near FARGO
GERED BY REMOVAL OF
SPIKES.
NO ONE INJURED, AND NOTHING
KNOWN OF PARTIES
GUILTY..

FARGO, Aug. 8-A dastardly at
tempt to wreck fast passenger trains
on both the G. N. and N. P. railroads
just east of Moorhsad was made yes
terday morning. In one instance the
although no serious damage was done.
The N. P. trains seem to have es.
capped by miracle.
Great Northern passenger train No.
9 was derailed at the crossing one
mile east Of Moorhead just as it was
turning the curve near the tower. The
engine and mail car next to it left the
rails and both turned over on the
south side of the track. There were
no injuries to passengers and no DAM
age to rolling stock except that
named.
Fortunately one line of rails was
clear so that the uninjured cars of
the wrecked train could be moved
and another train could be made up,
entailing delay not to exceed five
hours. The train was not running
fast, it was slowing down for the
tower and city stop and only moved
two car lengths afteh the engine and
mail car left the track.
Spikes and Bolts Removed.
Inspection of the track by the sec.
tion foreman disclosed the fact that
all the spikes had been taken out for
one car length and two angle bars
removed. A crowbar and an IS"
wrench were found short distance
from the scene of the wreck.
N. P. Track Tampered With.
After Northern Pacific train No. z,
due in Moorhead at 1920 a. M, had
passed the crossing the tracks about
200 feet east of the junction tower
were inspected and an alarming state
of affairs was disclosed there. For
one rail length all of the spikes and
bolt out of each fish plate on one
side of the rail and all of the plate
bolts on the other side of the rail
had been removed. The track where
this was done is straight and the rail-
road people say that this accounts for
the fact that fast train No. 3 and two
other later trains passed over in
safety. The point on the Great North
ern where the latter's train was de-
rallied was at curve.
Passengers Jolted.
The derailed train was in charge of

(Snecial to the Tribune)


HILLSBORO, Aug. S-Frank Ross,
shot last March by McLain Cooper,
is dead. And Cooper was re-arrested
and charged with first degree murder,
with hearing fixed for Friday.
He has been held heretofore on the
charge of assault with ten THOUSAND
dollars bail, but bail is not now al
lowed. Ross was foreman on fathers
farm.
There was a good deal of excite
ment and good deal of mystery at
the time of the shooting and for some
time there was fear that lynching
would result. The elder Ross oper-
ated a large farm and there was some
trouble between Ross and Cooper ov-
er the way things were being DONE
and in the absence of the elder Ross
the troubles eliminated in the shoot
ing. Cooper gave himself up ind
mediately following the shooting and
has been out on bail since then.
