COULD NOT POINT TO ANY VIOLA
TON IN DEVILS LAKE-LACK-
ED FACTS.
HAD SEEN BEER HAULED AWAY
BUT DID NOT KNOW WHERE 1T
WAS BEING SOLD.

Bloom Claimed that Mann Had Been
the Source of Information Which
Caused Him to Write Slurring Ar
ticle in the Journal Which Was d.
rected at the Ofdcials-Who Will Be
the Next?
Fred Mann of the Mann department
store appeared yesterday afternoon be-
fore States Attorney Duell in answer
to subpoena and was closely ques-
toned as to his information regarding
the violation of the prohibition law in
Devils Lake, following the claim made
by Editor Bloom that Mann had been
the source of slurring article direct
ed at the county officials.
Mr.. Mann stated that he had seen
beer received at the local depot and
that he had seen it hauled away, but
that he did not know where it was be-
ing sold. He also stated that he could
not point to any violation of the pro-
hibition law in Devils Lake, though he
believed that beer was being sold.
His testimony showed an absolute
lack of facts to back any charges and
some of his statements were in opposi-
tion to the decided denial made by the
local agent regarding the number of
cases shipped to local people.
The officials have shown themselves
ready and willing to proceed with in
vestigations but can make no arrests
until they have the facts in their pos.
session. The county has already been
put to thousands of dollars Of needless
expense by the half baked prosecu.
tions that have been pushed by local
organizations.

BOYS WHO WOULD WRECK GREAT
NORTHERN TRAIN READ BAD
LITERATURE,

Confession of guilt from two Cas-
selton school boys has been obtained
IN connection with the attempted
wrecking Of the Great Northern pas
senger train running from Grand Forks
to Casselton Wednesday evening. The
boys, both Of them very young, were
landed in the Cass county Jail at Fargo
today, confessions being secured from
them by James J. Davis, a special
agent Of the railroad company.
Elmer Carlson and Louis Bordener
are the boys who have been jailed.
The attempted wrecking occurred
near the way station of Howe, six
miles north Of Casselton, where the
rails were covered with an obstruction
consisting of ties and dirt sufficient to
cause bad wreck. Only the fact that
farmer CHANGED to discover the OBJ.
struction prevented wreck, he flag
ging the train.
In the confession which it is claimed
has been secured, the boys declare that
they did it "just for fun" after read
ing books. The work had been quite
complete, the pile being given an an.
pearance that was quite deceptive and
which might have prevented its dis
covery upon the part of the engine
crew until too late to prevent a smash.

It is claimed that there are several
other Casselton boys mixed up in the
affair.

specific charge on which he was ar
raiened occurred September 90
Wilkinson was brought before Unit
ed States Commissioner George Rob.
bins in this city this afternoon and
bound over to the federal court under
$1,000 bonds. Wilkinson will plead
guilty to the charges.
In confession which Wilkinson
makes he admits all that has been
charged against him. He has been on
the road for the past seven years and
was always considered one of the good
boys. He put the officials "wise' to
number of violations and it was
thought that he was helping them out,
when the fact is. he was doing the
same thing himself.
It is understood that many new de.
velopments will come as result of
the arrest and it is certain that other
things that have occurred within the
past week will have direct bearing
on the case
Some startling information has been
secured by Customs Officer Jud La.
Moure Jr., and assistant and it may
be that some of the federal officials
will figure prominently in the case.
Several other phases Of the matter
will be brought out as result of the
investigation, which will be continued,
and some real sensations which will
carry to every portion of the United
States are promised.

PAPERS CLAIM BOMB WHICH
RUINED TIMES WAS MADE
BY CLEARWATER,

Havana, Oct. 9.-El Mundo today
publishes a sensational statement re.
garding the dynamiting of the Los An
geles Times building, and which was
made, the paper says, by one Angelo
Carballo, who is described as Cuban
cigarmaker, who formerly worked at
Tampa, Fla.
According to Carballo, the bomb
used at Los Angeles was made by an
anarchist for the purpose of blowing up
the citizens committee during the last
cigarmakers strike at Tampa. This
plan was abandoned and the anarchist
disappeared, only to return later to
Tampa and inform Carballo that the
bomb had been utilized to destroy the
Times building.
After communicating this, the bomb.
maker left town, saying he was going
to Peru. He is now, Carballo says, en-
ployed on the Panama canal. Carballo
sets forth that his object in making the
statement is to free innocent men from
suspicion.

business matters. John has a section
of land about so miles south Of Maple

there last year and only a light crop
this year. The latter part of the sum-
mer has seen great deal of rain up
there, one rain bringing over four in
ches of water. Everyone is looking for
great things next year. Mr.. Erickstad
was an ardent supporter Of reciprocity
in his neighborhood, but he says that
they only got small majority Of four
or five in his precinct in favor Of it.
The annexation cry worked a great
deal Of havoc among the "bloody hing.

THIS STATE HAS NOT YET RAILS
ED SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO
PAY FOR SILVER SERVICE.

Neville Journal: For considerable
length of time the matter Of presenting
silver service to the battleship, North
Dakota, has been before the people of
the state.
The idea of presenting such service
was taken up with an amount of en-
thusiasm that bespoke success, and for
a time the work was undertaken and
carried forward with vim and energy.
Subscription blanks were sent to every
city and town in the state, and as soon
as these were returned all interest
seems to have abated and the matter
time. The effort put forth by these
papers was insufficient to meet the cost
Of the service, and the battleship bear
ing the name Of our state has been de-
prived Of necessary adjunct to it's
successful equippage.
AS near as can be ascertained the
service was to cost about $4,000 and
the effort above mentioned brought in
about $1,000, leaving a balance still
due Of $4,000.
At the time of the gathering togeth-
er of attractions for the fair in Grand
Forks the service was secured for ex-
hibition and the sum Of $500 was raised
by admission charges which were levied
against those who wished to view it.
In order to place it on exhibition it was
necessary for the fair association to get
down on their knees ESQ to speak) and
beg the loan of the service from the
manufacturer in order that ''little"
money could be raised to help one Of
the wealthiest states in the union pay
for the service which representative
committee had ordered made. At the
close of the fair the service was
promptly returned to the manufacturer
in the east.
For two long years this matter has
been hanging fire, and in contrast to
the actions Of other states when United
States have been honored with their
names, we have neglected to place on
board of one of the most powerful war
ships in the world, token Of apprecia-
ton while the other states have had
their service ready, if not at launching
time, very soon thereafter.
If there is not enough public spirit
in North Dakota to make up the de.
ficiency at once, then let the govern.
ment come to the rescue and provide
sufficient funds so that the disgrace
can be wiped out and the service plac.
ed where it belongs, thus enabling of.
with pride on the citizenship of the
ficers of the North Dakota to look
with pride on the citizenship of the
iiickertail state.
