ASKS SHERIFF
TO HANG HIM
Cass County Insane Man Begs
Ardently That Official
Use Moose

Fargo. N. D.. Aug. 1.-THE county
board Of insanity will make an in
vestigation of Andrus Peterson, who
was brought to the police station
early this week. Peterson is the man
who gave the citizens of Kragnes con-
siderable trouble when he threatened
to kill himself with a butcher knife
recently.
He was driven from Kragnes and
on the highway to Moorhead met
farmer whom he asked a ride. The
farmer was driving from Moorhead
and took the man in his rig and drove
him back to Kragnes. The second
time the people there succeeded in
getting him started for Moorhead and
he found his way there where he was
brought to the police station.
BY close questioning Judge Hanson
learned that the man had come from
Thief River Falls, Mimi, and he conf
municated with the police department
of that place yesterday, and the re-
port was confirmed, though it was
stated there that his name was Arne
Peterson.
Peterson has been in the county Jail
since Tuesday and has been pleading
with Judge Hanson and Sheriff Boyle
to hang him, as he wants to end his
life and free himself from his trou-
bles here on earth. 1t is probable
the board will ship him back to the
authorities at Thief River Falls in
case he is adjudged insane.

FORMER FARGOAN DEAD
James Mclaughlin Succumbs to Ill.
ness ut Seattle.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. Thames Nc
Laughlin, who was one of the pio-
neers of North Dakota and one of the
very earliest settlers in Fargo, is
dead. He left this city over twenty
years ago to make his home in the
west and died at Seattle, Wash.
He was SO years of age at the time
OF his death, and had resided in Seat
tie nearly all the time since leaving
here
During his life in Fargo he was
considered the best shot about these
parts and even after he went to Seat
tie he had the satisfaction of win
ming the patlach shoot in which the
best marksmen in the United States
were contestants. He was familiarly
known as "Jim" Mclaughlin when he
lived in Fargo and was "a general fav-
orite with all who knew him. He
leaves widow. one son and a daugh-
ter to mourn his loss.

BODY is IDENTIFIED
That Of Boy Found in Burleigh Coun.
ty Is Recognized

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 11-suicide
is given as the theory in the case Of
the boy found laying on the prairie
two miles from Stark. A shotgun
was found laying beside the body aod
death was due to gunshot wound
In the chest the lungs being torn.
The body was identified as being
that OF Gotlieb, son Lf Mr.. Herty,
prominent farmer living but few
miles from the scene of the tragedy.
When found the body showed EVIL
dences of having laid there for about
q week and the clothes had ben en-
tirely burned of, probably ignited by
the gunshot that caused the death.
Further investigation Of the trag-
edy has been postponed until August
10, when number Of witnesses have
been subpoenaed to appear before q
jury at Bismarck.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT
Morton County Automobiles Form
Association for Highway I'm.
proyement.

Mandan, N. d., Aug. 11.-Extensive
good roads work is proposed by the
automobile owners of Mandan who
have affiliated themselves together
for that purpose, organizing a club.
The principal objection to Morton
county highways. from the motorist
point of view. is the presence of rock,
and it is to eliminate this feature
that special work will be done. There
is also movement under way for
the creation of better auto route
between Mandan and the various
cities to the west, the conditions
along the Northern Pacific right of
way through that district being any
thing but satisfactory at the present
time.
The interest of the local autoists,
that of the farmers and that of the
auto owners of surrounding cities,
will be solicited in an effort to gain
a general county wide campaign for
better roads.

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 11.-Arrange-
ments for the annual Missouri Slope
Agricultural fair, the first that will
be held in North Dakota under state
aid. are practically complete and the
present indications point to an ex-
position that will be far greater than
the old Morton county fair, of which
the slope exposition is the successor.
Mandan receives an annual appropria-
tion of $1,000 for the fair and it pro-
poses to make the initial fair under
state aid complete success.
September u to Is are the dates
that have been definitely decided up
on for the exposition, and among the
features will be flights by Lucky"
Bob st. Henry. There will be extern
sive exhibits of agricultural products
and live stock this season.

CROP REPORT IN
STOCK MARKET
sssssssss
Was Used as Basis For an At
tack On the Stock
Values

New York, Aug. 1.-THE govern
ment crop report, which is admittedly
poor, taking its figures at their value.
was used as weapon for another
attack on the stock market values to-
day.
Prices fell two or more points in
the active list, with materially greater
losses elsewhere. The decline, while
often precipitate and celarly betoken-
ing further liquidation, was not of the
demoralizing character which has at
tended several recent movements.
Quoted prices simply fell away ac-
cording to the pressure of offerings,
each successive rally of point or
SO being the signal for another SELL
Ing movement which left the list lower
than before.
AS matter of fact, persons who
are held to be judges of conditions
agree that the government report pre-
sents a condition much worse than
actually exists today; that the dam
age, save In certain commodities is
far less than yesterdays estimates
indicate; that practically all food
stuffs, corn excepted, are better now
than on August 1, on which date the
government report was compiled.
That being the case, some traders say.
1t is puerile to point to agricultural
conditions as the chief cause of the
markets severe reversal. Prices have
yielded with more or. less steadiness
for almost fortnight, losses in some
standard stocks during that period
extending to fifteen points. 1t is just
hi x@
cline to the misfortunes of some over
extended bulls. -
The causes probably lie deeper and
the political situation, as represented
in the activities of the fedcSal gov
ernment, coupled with financial and
political conditions abroad, may prop
erly be regarded as the more potent
factors in the case. It is becoming
increasingly evident that large guam
titles of securities have been disposed
of by the so-called substantial inter-
ests out of sheer disappointment with
the course of public events. The at
titude of these interests at this time
appears to be one of indifference to
the fate of the stock market. On the
other hand continuance of the pres
ent movement. 1t is argued, will ere
long result in a level which must at
tract outside buying Of an investment
character.
Aside from movements In the mar
ket, one of the interesting items of
the day was contained in the July
report Of untitled tonnage Of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation. The fig
ures show an increase Of 22S,00O tons
over June. with q much larger gain
over May and accounted IN part for
the comparatively steadiness Of steel
during the greater part Of the day,
despite the enormous offerings Of that
stock, which amount to 275, 900 shares

Oakes, N. D., Aug. 11-John Corey,
aged 10 years, the son Of Mrs. Mary
Corey of the Glover ranch near here,
was almost instantly killed when he
received a terrific blow from a
horses hoof. The little boy, favor
lite with the fifty men employed on
the ranch, was followed to the grave
by the entire number and the scene
was one of extreme pathos as the
hardened men of the ranch went to
the little school house from which
the services were conducted. The boy
received the blow in the stomach.

only a few minutes before, having
been out in the field where her hus-
band was engaged. Going into the

was stricken with pa.alysis, death
coming instantly.

MAKING PROGRESS
Graders are Making Quick Work Of
the FargO.Surrey Line.

Towner, N. D., Aug. 11-Graders
OF the Great Northern are making ra-
pid progress on the Fargo-Surrey line
OF that railroad. and the present indi-
cations are that the steel will be laid
from Surrey to Guthrie this fall
Guthrie, located on the new line south
OF this city, is evidently the terminus
Of the present operations, and if the
railroad concludes to stop work
there for this season, it is believed
that 1t will iron the grade and run
trains that far, thus putting the west
end Of the air line into operation.
The city Of Drake. on the 500. is
the base OF operations for one Of the
big grading crews.

panies.
In the last hour the list made very
general recoveries from the low point
on what appeared to be steady absorp-
ton, together with extensive short
covering. The buying showed more
deliberation than any recent similar
movement and indicated that the mar
ket had reached a point of equili-
brium. Rallies ran from a full point
to net gains with especial firmness
in United States steel, Great Northern
preferred, Northern Pacific, Union Pa
cific, Southern Pacific and Reading.
The greater part of the gain was held
at the close, which was steady.
London bought about 10000 shares
on balance here, chiefly Union Pacific
and United States steel. The state
ment of the bank of England dis
closed no new condition in that insti-
tuition. The bank of France reported
a loss of about 100000 in gold, and
dispatches from Paris stated that the

To SETTLE RATE
DISPUTE IN FARGO
State Railroad Commissioners
Call Hearing With Refer
ence to Complaint

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 10.-There
was time when the railways made
a half rate on freight charges to resi-
dents of North Dakota who desired
to ship machinery to the factories
where it was made for repairs. After
obtaining for some years this rate
was suspended on the motion of the
carriers themselves and full charges
eXacted.
AT its meeting the state railway
commission considered petition of
the Minneapolis Threshing Machine
company of Fargo and Grand Forks,
N. D., and applications of other ship
pers to have the one-half freight rate
restored. All the railway companies
doing business in North Dakota are
parties to the action.
a hearing is set by the commission
for Fargo, September 8, when all par
ties to the action will be heard. The
railway commissions of Minnesota,
South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri and
a number Of other states have had
the matter up and in each instance
have ordered the one-half rate rein
stated.
This case is considered of much i'm
portance by the people of North Da-
kota and the hearing in Fargo will
likely attract much attention.
There is similar case now pend
ing before the interstate commerce
commission of the United States, but
the railway commissioners of all the
states adjoining North Dakota have
not waited for decision of the ma
tional body but have acted independ-
ent OF it.
Many petitions Heard.
Many petitions, complaints and COM
munications were considered by the
state railway commission at the meet
ing yesterday
Business men of Solen ask the COM
mission to order platform construct
ed at the railway station in that town
The town is new one on the Mott
branch and it is shown that the rail-
way has no buildings there and no
place to load or unload freight. They
want q platform constructed.
Olsen asks that the Great Northern
be instructed to put in a suitable
crossing at that town. The order was
made on the showing of the citizens.
McClusky asked the commission to
require the Great Northern to con-
struct another crossing in that town,
but no action was taken as the COM
pany has now two crossings to ac-
commodate the occupants of five
houses located on the north side of
the track.
There was a petition before the
board from the Truax Coal company
of Noonan in Divide county, to have
the Great Northern construct track
from the town to the mine, distance
of three-fourths of a mile, the ex-
pense of the track construction
would fall on the petitioner. In it's
exhibit before the commission the
coal company shows that last year
coal to the amount of 421 carloads
was hauled from the mine by wagon.
Secretary Hall was instructed to take
the matter up with the Great North
ern.
The railroad commission has been
officially notified that the Great North
ern and the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul railways have installed an
plant at their crossing at
Wahpeton. The commissioners will
