FORKS STREET RY.
TO CROSS RIVER

Grand Forks, N. D., March leone
of the important building operations
that will be put under way as soon as
the weather permits win be the extern
sion of the Grand Forks street railway
line across the river into East Grand
Forks. The DeMers avenue bridge
was thoroughly repaired last fall and
is now in good shape to stand the load
of the track and cars. The plans Of
the company for the extension are
not as yet fully materialized so that
1t is impossible to say at the present
time just how far the line will extend.
1t is probable that the railway will go
to the Great Northern railway or to
Picket's Park.
One Of the plans of the company or
iginally was to connect with the 500
railroad at Oslo, but ii is certain now
that nothing will be done this sum-
mer to build so long as stretch OF track.

SHOOT LEADERS
OF BLACK HAND
KILLED BY MEMBERS OF ORDER
OWING TO DIVISION or
SPOILS.

Chicago, March 16.-Anthony Dugo
and Phillip Maniscalsco, said by de-
tectives to be leaders of blackhand
society, were shot and killed, the police
say by members of their band. The
shooting which was done with shot
gun. is said TO be the result OF dissat
isfaction on part OF the members al
the division of the spolis recently taken
from an Italian merchant The two
victims have been suspected by the
police and constantly followed for the
last two months. Five men have been
arrested as suspects.
Lorenzo Maniscalsco, a cousin OF
one of the dead men was the first per-
son arrested. His arrest was followed
by that Of Antonio Stredio, a saloon
keeper, when Joseph Dugo, brother OF
one of the murdered men, declared he
was responsible for the murder. A
shotgun and cartridges similar to the
one with which the men were killed
was found in Stredio's home. A VEN
delta that may result in further kill
ling is feared by the police as the re-
suit of the affair.
Joseph Dugo, at the undertaking
rooms, in the presence OF a score of
police officials, bent down, kissed his
dead brothers lips and took an oath
to avenge his death.
The widow Of Maniscalsco took a
similar oath over her husbands body,
swearing she would avenge his MUIR
derer.

BURKE VETOES
INSPECTION BILL

Bismarck, n. D., March 16.-The gov

bill III, by Englund of Ward. The
bill provided for the appointment of
two garin inspectors, one at Minneapo-
lis and one at Duluth to look after the
interests of the North Dakota grain
shippers.
The reasons given for vetoeing the
bill were that the state had maintains
ed two inspectors in Minnesota for.
the past two years and that a great
deal of information is contained In
the reports submitted and that the
state could not expect to gain much.
more in that line and for the further
reason that the appropriations were
already Overdrawn and the bill carl
ries an appropriation for the biennial.
period, of $4,000, and that the rep-l

New York, N. Y. March 16.--
The sudden departure from New
York of Senior Limantour, the
Mexican minister of finance, after
a week of conference and negotia-
tions, the precise nature of which
! has not hitherto been clear, is now
explained by the understanding
that he has succeeded in effecting

Immediately put in force by the
Mexican government and leading
insurrectionists, being satisfied, are
to aid in the retoration of peace.
The presence here at the Ho-
tel Aston of Senior Madero, father
OF the provisional president, to-
gether with his three sons, broth
ers of the provisional president,
the fact that Limantour has been
through three generations the con-
fidential advisor of the Madero
family and the fact that Imam
tour and Senior Madero have been
in conference, while important
messages have been going back
and forth from the finance minister
to Mexico City, added significance
to the situation.
