sTY-ElGHT Law SUITS AGAINST
NORTHERN PACIFIC IN LAST
I THIRTY YEARS.

One of the plaintiffs in the cases
of T. B. Evans and Rhys T. Evans
against the Northern Pacific Ry Co,
on trial in the district court today,
before Judge Taylor and jury, has
been in this county over thirty years
and has brought twenty eight law
suits against the N. p. with varying
success.
The dispute between the parties
arises out of the defendant company
changing the course of its line in the
vicinity of the Buffalo river. 1t is
alleged that the defendant company
made one change to satisfy the plain
tiff, Now the latter sues to recover
damages because Of the change.
The jury was selected this morning
without the attorneys on either side
availing themselves of a challenge, but
two Of the selected jurors asked to be
excused and Judge Taylor granted the
request. Two cases have been con-
solidated and are being tried as one.
w. d. Douglas of Minneapolis and
Mr.. Marden appear for the plaintiffs
and Messrs. Bum and Hadley for the
defendant company. At the time Of
the noon recess certain stipulations
were being argued by Mr.. Douglas.

CHICAGO Gossip.

Chicago, June S.-Wheat traders re-
garded the bulge of 1 - cents as only
natural after a Scent break from Mon
days high point. They said it was
largely due to local speculative con-
ditions, there being nothing in the
news to make sensational changes. The
cash situation was about as weak as
1t has been at any time, although the
pressure of actual wheat was light.
1t looked as though the bull interests
were working the market to get
prices up, so that they can sell an
other big line. They were the best
buyers on the breaks and sellers on
the bulges. 1t was said that it would
be no surprise to see the bull houses
deliver cash wheat on July sales the
first part of next month. Shorts Jared
badly yesterday owing to the num-
erous sharp changes as they played
for larger break, which failed to ma
terialize. Those who sold Tuesday on
the belief that the reciprocity bill will
be passed within day or two were
covering at the last. Pit traders said
that shorts were not all in because the
bulge was too sharp In the last fif-
teen minutes. Bears made the point
that every day brings the winter wheat
crop nearer to harvest, removing the
possibility of damage, and a week
more is expected to see harvest in gem
eral The bulls made the point that
spring wheat crop was yet to be
reckoned with. It was claimed bulls
are now through with market I'M

Mnrninu Grain L.etter.

Chicago, June S.--Wheat: We con-
slider the rally in wheat yesterday only
natural, due to over confident short
selling and a desire to even up before
the government report. We rather
look for lower prices today.
Corn: The advance during yester-
days late session was purely specula-
tive, not being based, in our opinion, on
any facts warranting higher prices.
The cash property stin remains in
good supply, and we believe the mar
ket should have some recession from
yesterdays advance.
Oats: The reinstating Of long lines
sold out during the past few days
caused the upturn, coupled with the
fact that today's report is likely TO
show a marked decline in condition.
We think and probable shortage in
the crop has been fairly well dis
counted until something definite re-
garding the same is known.

Chicago, June S.--wheat: Opening
prices proved the high of the day as
the scattered short interest was elm
mated on the late advance of yester-

much desire to make new commit

eminent report. The market will con-
tinue to be one of nervous character

Rain Near steeIe.

Farmers from Kidder county. in the

in the country northwest Of Steele last
night, lasting several hours. B. A.

that during his residence in the state
of over thirty years he has never seen
more promising crops than are to be
seen west of Fargo this year. The
rye fields are especially so and some
of the winter rye could not look better
in prospects for an unusually good
yield.

Some Of the jupe cuIotte models that
the ambitious French dressmakers
have been trying to exploit have been
frankly ugly; others have been
merely bizarre; few have been too
masculine in suggestion to be pos
sible as woman's garb in the street.
This little iupe cuIotte has some
thing to commend L, for the full
Turkish trousers of dark blue satin
are all but hidden under a very
gracefully cut overskirt of dark blue
English mohair, trimmed at the
overlapping edges with bands of blue
satin matching the trousers. If the

on entering was Mortified to see huge

it loose.
Hhe reptile started to crawl way but
the heroic mother attacked it and after

leaped repeatedly, almost to her throat
she despatched it. No sooner had she
put an end to the venomous intruder
than she began 10 examine the child tc

fellow was too badly frightened to tell
whether the snake had struck him or
not, but the inother soon beheid drops
of blood starting from the back ct his

had sunk his poison fangs NUMBER OF

was sum moned at once by telephone,
and he FASTENED TO the home, bringing

snake seems to have injected a grea
amount of the deadly virus into the
