tracts Many Buyers-Are on Sale
at the NJ. p. Stoekyards.

Emmett Marx arrived in the city this
morning with four carloads of fine
western horses, which are now on sale

heavy young draft horses, broke and
unbroke, some fine drivers, a number
of good saddle animals and some fine
colts that give promise of profitable
development. Fargo is coming to the
front as a big horse center and the
Mark Western Horse Co. has gained a
general reputation for low prices, good
stock and square dealing. These ami
mails will be sold singly, in pairs,
punches or in carload lots.

This Morning by Raymond
Lawrence,

Raymond Lawrence delivered an able
Grafton at the high school this morn
ing, his subject was, The Fertilization
Of the Panama Canal
Mr.. Lawrence called the attention Of
his hearers to the Importance of this
momentous question. following with
an explanation of what was meant by
terrifying the canal. He said many
reasons have been put forth why no
Notifications should be erected. These
reasons were given. and answered in
such a way as to show their weak
nesses.
The speaker mentioned how the
question had called forth much discuss
sion and comment. He said President
Taft and ex-President Roosevelt were
strongly in favor of the Notifications
of the canal
AS a conclusion the expense of erec-
ton, the success Of the engineers, and
the responsibility with which the canal
is charged, were discussed, showing
why we should fortify the canal and
thus reap our reward and fulfill our
obligations.

ovsrrun PASSENGER Train.

Langdon Republican,: An endurance
race that was considerably out of the
ordinary brought the west bound pas
senger into Langdon about ten min
utes late last Monday afternoon, and
with only second money in the race.
Seven horses, belonging to John l..
kram of Easily, happened to be on the
track a short distance ahead OF the
train as 1t pulled out of Easily sta
ton, and in spite Of all the noise that
the engineer could make, the horses
kept on the track and about the same
distance ahead Of the train all the way
TO Langdon. For the first few miles
they hit UP a pretty good clip, and
the train did not lose so much time
but by the time the horses reached
Langdon they were pretty well tagged
out, and were willing to turn out at
the first cross road that looked good
to them. The strange part of it all is
that everyone of the horses passed
safely over the five open culverts be-
tween here and Easily, when ordinarily
a single horse could not pass over the
first culvert in safety.

MAN IN THE FIRST WARD
RACE WILL BE A WARM ONE
A NEW CANDIDATE APPEARS IN
THE BLOODY SIXTH.

The race for the alderman's seat in
the city council, which represents the
first ward, promises to be an exceed
ingly warm one. Four candidates will
enter the field and make the race.
E A. Wells, better known as Doc"
Wells, has placed a petition in the
field and has far more than the neces-
sary number of signatures. Doc has
lived in this ward for eleven years and
has a whole host OF friends who piled
100 names on his petition in less than
twenty four hours. Fifty was all that
was required
Tony Peterson appeared at the city
auditors office this morning and filed
his petition to have his name placed
on the election ballot. His friends
have been urging him to make the
race for some time, and he at last re-
luctantly gave his consent. However,
now that he is in the game, he will
see it through to the finish.
John H. Mcclure is candidate from
the First ward. Mcguire has a petition
out now which is being circulated and
is being readily signed by his many
friends who are strongly in favor of
his candidacy
1t is understood that E. e. Cole the
present holder Of the job will make the
race again. He is the president of the
council and has made a good record.
In the Sixth ward new candidate
has appeared. o. M. Strate, the dray
line man. has a petition out which is
being signed freely by the voters in
that district. John Sonquist, the pres
ent alderman from the Sixth, will I'M
doubtedly make the race to retain his
seat in the council, thus making two
men in the field from that section Of
the city.

made.

The CITY SCALES
WAY OFF BALANCE
FIRMS THAT HAVE BEEN HAVING
THEIR COAL WEIGHED ON THE
CITY SCALES IN THE LAST FEW
DAYS HAVE BEEN LOSING OUT
ON WEIGHTS.

Il
This morning a defect was discov-
cred in the city scales, which has
caused the coal firms that have been
weighing on the municipal scales for
the last few days, to lose heavily on
their weights.
Yesterday a number of drivers of
wagons found that the city scales were
short Of the weight that the wagons
were supposed to carry, by about 800
pounds. This morning one load
weighed about 700 pounds less on the
city scales than by the weights Of the
coal firms.
This started an investigation of the
city scales and Weighmaster Clifton,
with the aid of number OF drivers.
tore up the floor of the scales. 1t was
discovered that water, from melting
zee, had run down into the pit and that
this had frozen, causing the big beam
to rest partially on the ice, and not
have free swing, as it should have
done.
Mr.. Clifton worked on the PROPOSE
ton for some time and knocked all the
ice away, so that the scales will again
weigh perfectly. Just how much was
lost by the firms that had coal weighed
on those scales during the last few
days is not known. but it is estimated
that the sum was not small one.

CREW EATEN BY SHARKS.

A message received at Plymouth
England, from Victoria, British Colum-
bia, describes the thrilling escape OF a
seaman named Theodore Anderson, OF
the pearling lugger Hugh Norman, the
captain and crew Of which were eaten
by sharks.
The Hugh Norman, a lugger OF 2OU
tons, was sailing down the lonely
western Australian coast, hctwcc'
Broomo and Frcmantlp, when she was
caught in a gale and struck reef. a
lifeboat was launched. and all hands,
with the exception Of the captain and
Anderson, put off. The lifeboat was
swamped within Is minutes, and the
men went struggling overheard.
The captain and Anderson could see
sharks seize their companions and
drag them below the surface. The
captain then ordered Anderson TO
plunge in and right the lifeboat, but
the sailor saw three sharks lowering
near the cutter, and refused to leave.
For eight hours the two men stuck
to the derelict, until she finally drifted
off the reef, and then the captain
jumped overheard and struck out for
shore. He was seized by sharks before
he had taken 20 strokes.
After that Anderson clung tos the
mast, without moving more than was
necessary, for six days. At the end OF
that time hunger and lack of sleep
made him desperate, and he plunged
overheard and started for the shore.
Six sharks circled about him, but he
managed to elude them aud reached
the beach, where some fishermen
found him and took him to Brisbane.
From Brisbane, Anderson made his
way to Victoria, B. G.

KILLED INTRUDER.

William S. Chelton, . prominent
farmer OF Tulls Corner, 10 miles from
Cris6eld, Nd, was shot and killed late
Saturday night by William W. Green,
q well-kpown contractor and builder,
Of the same neighborhood. An inquest
was held at Chelton's home yesterday.
Green stated to the jury that he and
Chelton formerly we're friends, but
that about three years ago, after the
community had indulged in some talk
about Chelton and Mrs. Green, he
warned Chelton to keep away from his
home. Since that time, he said, he had
watched the house, but had seen no
evidence OF Chelton's presence.
Saturday night he came home from
the country store, and a short time
later, while he was upstairs putting
one OF the children to bed, he heard
footsteps in bis yard. He walked to
the window, he says, and recognized
Chelton as the trespasser.
Hurrying downstairs, picking up
his shotgun as he went, he walked out
into the yard. No one was to be seen,
and he finally looked under the house,
discovering mans legs protrudlng
from behind enc of the pests Of the

STARVES TO DEATH.

Starved to death with 81 900 in $40
bills sewed in his clothing, Mickey"
McGann, miser, whom many people
believed to be a penniless beggar, was
found in his dirty cellar home at Pitts
burg, Pa, yesterday afternoon While
his frame was fairly we'll covered with
flesh when he was last seen alive, live
days ago, his body was terribly emacl-
ated when discovered. McGann had
been in the habit OF begging on the
street, and persons who had given him
coins for years were surprised to hear
of the money being found in his cloth
ing when searched in the morgue. II
is thought his begging had been un.
successful recently and that be had
gone without food for days rather than
spend any Of his hoard. and finally had
got into his cellar abode, too weak
from lack of food to get out, and died
from starvation. After his burial e1'
penses are paid the rest Of the money
goes to the state.

ceived no reply. He fred and hearing
a groan, ran back into the house to gel
