unconscious in a snow drift,
He was hurried home and every care

decided that he could do better by
walking than riding so had turned the
team loose. Then he walked about
until exhausted,

DEATH OF AGED
RAILROAD EMPLOYE
A. w. BLACKBURN, ONE OF THE
PIONEER LOCOMOTIVE ENoI-
NEERs ON THE NORTHERN PA
cIFIc, WAS CALLED INTO THE
GREAT UNKNOWN LAST NIGHT.

A. w. Blackburn passed away at St
Johns hospital, this city, last night,
and the remains were removed to the
Luger morgue and prepared for burial
by Undertaken Dougherty.
The exact birthplace of the de-
seaced is not known, but is believed to
have been in Indiana, for he was first
married in Terre Haute, in that state
where he had been running a railroad
locomotive for some years.
He was one of the oldest railroad en-
gineers in this section, for he had been
one Of the pioneers of the Northern Pa
cific and was considered a good one
in his day
1t has been some years since he
pulled an engine" but for several
years he had been connected with the
roundhouse men of the same company
and for the last year he had not beer
doing anything. He was n years OF
age and had some property in the city
He made his home near the corner oil
Roberts street and N. p. avenue and
took his meals elsewhere.
He is survived by two sons at Terre
Haute and one son, a railroad man, in
Canada.
He was well known to the railroad
men of the northwest and was well
liked by them. For the past year he
had been familiar figure about the
central fire station, where he was :
favorite with the men.
He was never put on the pension
list Of the N. p, as the company as
certained that he had property and was
not In need in any way.
The date for the funeral has not yet
been fixed, as an effort is being made
by his friends here to get into com
munication with his sons.

SHOULD THE VENT
Be UP OR down?
PLUMBING CASE HINGES ON A
TEcHNICALITY-RlLEY PLACES
THE VENT UP AND THE DE-
PENDANT SAYS 1T SHOULD
HAVE BEEN DOWN.

Should the air vent on a steam RAJ
diator be up or down, if the coils are
placed perpendicularly on the wall?
This is the question on which the
case of T. p. Riley against the North
western Mutual Investment Co. really
hinges.
In the testimony offered in the court
this morning Riley said that the air
vents on the perpendicular coils were
placed at the top or near the top,
where according to his Judgment
they should be placed. The defend
ants claim that these vacuum valves
should have been placed near the bot
tom to allow the air to escape the
quickest and be of the best service.
great deal of the testimony is Of
a technical character and many plumb
ing experts and steam filters of some
reputation are testifying in both sides
of the case. The indications are that
the trial might hang over until to-
morrow morning, The defense now
has the trial in hand. 'f

noted BANDIT
BROUGHT HERE
DEPUTY UNITED STATES MAR.
sHAL A. E. M'KAY BROUGHT
FAMOUS BORDER HORSE THIEF
TO FARGo-WILL HAVE HEAR
ING BEFORE MONTGOMERY.

Kid Trailor alias Charles Winfield, a
noted border bandit and horse thief,
was brought to Fargo last night from
WiIliston by A. e. Mckay, deputy
United States marshal. The famous
criminal will have a hearing before j.
A. Montgomery, extradition commits
sioner for North Dakota, so that he
can be taken back across the border
line and tried before the Canadian Of
ficials.
Winfield was for a number of years
the head of a big horse thief gang who
worked on the border in northwestern
North Dakota. He would 60 across in
King Georges country and take with
him string of horses which he would
sell to the Canadian buyers. Return
ing to the streets he would steal some
more animals In Canadian territory
and bring them into this state and sell
them here. This system of working
both ways, he and his gang carried on
most successfully for a number of
years.
For four years the officers on both
sides Of the border kept a close tab on
the chief, but could never effect a cap
ture. One year ego last July he was
rounded up by the American officers
and captured. Since that time he has
been serving in the Williams county
Jail.
Upon his release he was taken into
custody again, upon the complaint Of
Albert Henry Quayle, a Canadian Of
ficer who desires him for work done on
the English side of the border line. The
charge against him is grand larceny
and as he had in his possession at the
time of his capture by the federal
authorities, two horses belonging to
Edith Mckenzie Of Canada, there is
little doubt but that the charge will
be made to hold.

v. A. HANSON CASE
STARTED TODAY
SUIT FOR THE COLLECTION OF
NOTES STARTED IN THE FED
ERAL COURT ToDAY-lT rs A
CASE OF A VERY PECULIAR MA
TURE.

The suit of w. A. Hanson against
Lochenmaier & Maggie for the payment
Of note Of $4,000 was begun in the
federal court today.
Hanson who owned $50 acres of land
in Logan county sold it for $4,000 to
Lochenmaier & Nagle who are real
estate agents at Lehr. The land men
paid down $500 to hold the deal and
gave e note for $4,000 in thirty days
and another for the same amount to
be paid in FIVE years. When the note
became due the land men refused to
pay.
1t seems that Lochenmaier & Nagle
had sold this land to a man named
Bailey in Minneapolis for good round
profit without permitting Hanson to
have any knowledge of the deal. Han
son had never offered his land for sale
but persuaded by the real estate firm
to sell, he did so.
Bailey paid down $500 on the deal
and then returned to the mill city, and
has never been heard from since.
Lochenmaier & Maggie refuse to pay
the notes, and in their answer allege
that Bailey was acting with Hanson
and that the two men were working
together to stick the defendants for
the sum of money amounting to $9,-
900 in the end, although only half of
this amount at this time.

dies IN THE
CITY BASTILE
JOHN LIMINoER, WEALTHY cITI-
ZEN OF RINFoRD, DIED THIS
MORNING FROM HEART TRoU-
RLE--HAp SEVERAL THOUSAND
IN GRAIN CHECKS.

About s o'clock this morning John
Liminger, wealthy citizen OF Bin
ford, n. D., died at the city jail.
Liminger was picked UP by the
Fargo police "Wednesday and was
brought to the station to get a chance
to sober up. He became Ill and a
physician was called and attended to
him, Apparently his condition became
greatly improved and he was able to
walk around and was feeling in the
best OF spirits.
Last night he began to complain
again, and upon the examination of
doctor IL was found that his heart
was in bad shape. The attending ply
stefan administered to the sick man
and he seemed much better during
the night.
This morning City weighmaster
Coleman was talking TO the old man
about 1880 o'clock and at that time
he seemed all right. At about $3.50
Desk Sergeant Bowers and City Weigh
master Coleman made trip through
the cells and thought that Liminger
was sleeping. Coleman bent over him
to assist in making him more com
Portable and found life was extinct
He had gone TO sleep and never awoke.
When brought to the station there
was found on his person several thou
sands of dollars of grain checks which
had never been cashed. He also spoke
of having several valuable pieces of
land near Binford and from every ap-
pearance was a wealthy man. The
deceased had told the officers that he
had gone to Binford about six years
ago, coming from Boone county, Iowa
Chief Bowers had intended taking
the sick man to his home today, had
he been able to make the trip. During
the short time he was around the
station he made many friends and
every effort was put forth to make
him as comfortable as possible.
The children of the deceased were
notified of their fathers condition
Wednesday, and according to a tele-
phone message from Binford this
morning they had started for Fargo
yesterday. 1t is probable that they
had missed making connections at
Sanborn and were unable to get here
before the death of their father.
Funeral Director Wasem was called
and the remains have been moved to
the Wasem undertaking parlors, where
they will be prepared for burial.

luxuriantly, and does not seem to at
