PROPOSE TO PUT
IN ELECTRIC LINE
New Plan Being Considered at
Devils Lake-Conference
Was Held

Devils Lake. N. D., Sept. 23-An
electric line serving between the city
Of Devils Lake through Greenwood
and passing the fair grounds with
Chautauqua as the terminal, now APP
pears practically assured. The propo-
sition for the installation of this line
has progressed to such an extent that
r. F. McDougall Of st. Paul arrived
yesterday morning and a conference
Is being held today with local parties
furnishing information and data con-
corning the cost Of construction and
other features. Mr.. McDougall rep
resents the Illinois Steel company.
A plat Of the proposed line has been
drawn and shows the route from the
Great Northern depot around through
the city, under the west viaduct, fol-
lowing much the same route as The
present steam line, but turning into
Greenwood.
Along with this movement is pro-
crossing the plan for the Ramsey
County Fair and Racing association.
Ray Young is devoting much time to
this subject and within a very short
time a meeting will be called and OFF,
GERS Of the association elected.
The construction of the proposed
electric line will mean a wonderful
impetus to Chautauqua and Green
wood, the actual impetus being nearly
inestimable.

BANDIT IS BEING
HELD FOR HEARING
Man Arrested in Neenah, Wis,
Believed by Authorities
} There to Be Guilty

Fargo, N. D., Sept 2S.-While the
Northern Pacific detectives and the
local police are investigating the con-
fession of John Young at Neenah,
Wis, of having been one of the trio
that robbed the North Coast limited
near Fargo the night of July 10, he
IL being held at the Wisconsin town.
Yesterday States Attorney Fowler
received the following wire from
Neenah:
A W. Fowler, states attorney, Far
20, N. D.: / won't get through with
John Young for ten days. l will hold
him for you. Had his picture taken
and will send you one Think he Is
the right man. He will come without
e%xtradition. Look for letter. (Signed)
J. Brown, chief Of police.
From the message it is presumed
that Young alias Grove is wanted for
something in Neenah, and as soon
- they fasten what charge they have
against him, they will be ready for
the local authorities.
Several Of the local officers have
expressed themselves Of the opinion
that the nan held in the Wisconsin
town is crazy. They do not believe
that any man who had the nerve, dar-
ing and holiness to go through the
sleepers and shoot the engineer Of
the finest train in the northwest,
would be afraid that some one would
Shoot him. Young says that he con
fessed as he feared someone would
shoot him to gain the reward.
The letter from the Neenah officials
will be watched for with interest.
The N. P. detective force at the main
Offices in ST. Paul are investigating
and have gone to Neenah to see
Young.

KNOTTY GASES
Question Of Jurisdiction Raised at
JamestOwn-Appeals to BE Taken

Jamestown-Appeals to Be Taken
jamestown, N. D., Sept. 23-Two
cases out Of the ordinary run of law
suits have been recently heard in the
county court Of this county. Grace
Erley sued the Lawton school district
for a years wages as teacher. The
case vas dismissed in the county
court and judgment given the defend
ant for costs.
Inc main point was whether the
school district was divided July 6 by
the action Of the county commission
ers or whether the division took place
at the election and qualification Of
ol1cers OF the newly formed district.
The plaintiff contends that the diyi-
sion did not take place until the cleo
ton OF officers and between the two
dates she was employed as teacher.
The newly elected officers refused to
recognize her as a duly qualified and
elected teacher in that district. The
points of law are interesting, not only
to teachers and school directors but
to attorneys generally.
Another case was that of George
Tucker VS.. T. ]. Atwood and others
an action to restrain the defendant
from having an execution and levy on
a judgment Of the district court OBJ
tanned against Tucker, the amount be-
ing less than $1,000. Defendant de-
INJURED to the complaint and the court
sustained the demurrer on the ground
that it had no jurisdiction or power
to issue such restraining order. The
point tina has NOT heen decfdod hx, tho
supreme court is whether a county
court has purely equity jurisdiction
except as provided by statute, which
provides for certain equity remedies
in that court, but not for Injunction
and writs Of mandamus. It is proba-
BILE this case will be appealed.

BRANSTREET'S
TRADE REVIEW
-, ~: =, 1- %',"rs,J' ~,
Distributive Trade Was Better
Last WEEK Than For Some
Time

New York, Sept. 23.-Bradstreet's
Review today says: This weeks re-
ports regarding distributive trade are
more favorable than they have been
for some little time. Not only is there
a better feeling as to the future, but
trade in a number of lines actually
has improved. Dry goods seem to be
IN the forefront as regards new de-
mands, thus indicating that recent
price reductions, especially in cottons,
had a beneficial effect. Other staple
lines, such Is groceries, wool, cloth
ing and wearing apparel in general,
also share in the enlarged buying
movement.
Buying of furniture, heretofore back
ward, has picked up at several GEN.
tiers, though trade in this line still is
below normal. Demand for soft coal
has improved, and our eport trade in
flour. and to a larger etent in wheat,
makes a satisfactory showing. At the
same time reports as regards retail
trade are irregular, this branch of
distribution having been helped where
autumn-like temperatures prevail,
while being deferred where the wealth
n has been warm.
Industrial operations are still char
acterized by a certain degree of SLOW
ness. In the iron and steel industry
business is dull, price cutting pre-
walls, profits on finished materials are
light, and there Is more talk of wage
reduction. Collections have picked up
a little especially where crop money
Is entering into circulation.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending September
81 were 236 against 219 last week, 1870
in the like week of 1910, III in 1909
267 in 1908, and 166 in 1907.
Business failures in Canada for the
week ending with Thursday number
twenty-eight, which contrasts with
Twenty-Five last week and twenty-five
in the like week Of 1910.
Wheat, including flour, eports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending September 21 aggregate
3.S08, III bushels against 1859 ,943 last
week, and 1,5S3,66S this week last
year. For the twelve weeks ending
September 81 exports are 33,035, 1891
bushels against 17,534,362 the CORE.
spending period last year.
Corn exports for the week are 535,.
$50 bushels against 733,016 last week
and 299, 1866 in 1910. For the twelve
weeks ending September 81 corr ex.

1t is a work of art and 1t is bound to at
