such was his terror that he had been
temporarily out Of his head. He re-
membered running away as fast as
he could. but when his senses came
back to him he was thirty miles away
and hiding in farmers barn AS
soon as he had recovered his nerve he
came Jogging along home and was
ready to tackle the job again
Hopewell shook its head in a doubt
ing way, but did not talk much. Abe
Singer was coming TO the front and
becoming hero He had also moved
from a shanty into cottage and was
living on the top shelf. As a matter of
fact. he did finish the well and thereby
made himself solid with all who might
have otherwise criticised. Neverthe-
less the town constable felt that he had
n duty to perform. He went to Abe
and said:
You went to your death in the river
and returned. You went to your death
in the well and returned Don't try
the little game again. II you do ]
don't believe the town will raise an
other dollar for your widow"
The summer had departed and late
autumn had come. Abe hadn't tired
himself out looking for any more jobs,
but was now offered the position of
night Waterman of the village. 1t was
a cold job and poor pay. and no one
wanted il until he stepped forward.
Not robbery had ever been commit
ted In the village, but there were tax
payers who thought it best to guard
against such things happening. When
the constable heard Of the appoint
ment he met Abe to say:

"lf robbers come | shall kill some OF
them was the reply.
But If you have them kill you don't
make mess of H."
II shall do my best to die, and when
you see me lying dead you will be sor-
ry for what you have said"
Two weeks passed, and then one
night at midnight there We're yells
and shots and the noise Of running,
and the people turned out to find Abe
Singer missing He was searched for,
but not found. Next day there was a
grand hunt, but no clew. Robbers had
killed him and borne his body away
another public subscription for the
widow--more provisions. fuel and
clothing. She actually opened an ac-
count at the village bank and put on
mourning. Another two weeks and

men about to break into the postofflce

Hopewell didn't say much. II didn't
threaten II didn't bring out tar and

ton of Abe Singer:

"One hundred dollars" was the
prompt reply And ii was raised IN

HEAR CASES IN
jUAtfY 7 IS IS PLAN
Actions Against Three Gun
dersons Have Been Delay
ed Until That Time

Fargo, N. D., June 1.-Judge Bar
nett and A. w. Fowler, states attor-
ney, the two lawyers in the case of
the state against George, Carl and
Gunder Gunderson, charged with
criminal assault upon the person of
Florence Gravely, have agreed to
postpone the case until some time in
July, and will ask Judge Miller to
have the hearing continued over until
that month. The hearings were set
for June IA, when the three men last
appeared in court.
The Gunderson boys are now out on
bonds of $3.50 each and are at the
home of their parents near Kindred
working on the farm. The Gravely
girl, who is 12 years old, with her
young baby, is at the Florence Crit
tenton home where she is being cared
for by friends.
1t is understood that the case will
be most bitterly fought by both sides.
During the time from now until the
trial the attorneys will prepare to
wage a legal battle which promises
to be exciting. The case is of such a
nature as to attract persons of curl
Gus natures and no one but witnesses,
newspaper men and attorneys will be
allowed in the court room at the time
of the hearing.
The postponement of the case has
been made to accommodate Judge
Barnett, who is the assistant United
States attorney for North Dakota.
The United States term of court will
open June 6, with grand jury and
June 13, the petit jury will be in ac-
ton. Judge Barnett's attention is
needed for the government work at
that time and he prefers to be able
any outside cases.
The United States term of court
this year is an exceedingly large one.
There are over thirty criminal cases
which will be heard here. Mr.. Bar
nett will take active part in the
prosecution Of all of these.

STOCK PRICES
ELuCIuAIlED
Supreme Court Decisions and
Open Iron and Steel Mar
ket the Cause

ANS'W 4SIhs Juuo III 11CcS VI 5UOGh
fuctuated with considerable violence
today and trading was moro active
and excited than had been the case
for a long time. The decision of the
supreme court in the American To-
bacco case and the extension of the
open market" in steel and iron, both
of which became known after the
close of business on Monday, result
ed in much confusion and sharp
conflict Of speculative opinion. The
market opened with general gains,
except for United States steel and
the coppers, wherein it followed the
pace set by London. Vigorous on
slaughts. which were directed with
particular severity against United
States steel quickly caused q reversal
and before trading was we'll under
way bearish sentiment was predomi-
nant. Severe losses were sustained
through the list.
The sensational fluctuations of the
day were in American Tobacco COM
mon on the "curb." The stock broke
rapidly after the first transaction,
falling ten points or more between
sales, until 1t had lost 81 points from
its opening quotation of 500. Later
in the day it rallied to 435. The pre-
ferred stock which is traded in on
the stock exchange, declined 5 1-2
and the six per cent bonds seven
points to 103. The break in prices
of American Tobacco bonds was due
to the belief that they might be re-
deemed at par, in connection with
the dissolution Of the tobacco COM
bine as ordered by the courts. For
the same reason there was a tenn
porary rise Of 1-2 points in the
per cent bonds to 90 IL.
United States steel gave way three
points under the persistent pressure.
The whole list fell back swiftly, as
the selling movement gathered vol
ume and large blocks of steel were
thrown on the market. Reading and
Amalgamated copper lost three points
and almost all of the other active
stocks from 1 to points. No eff
fective support was offered until late
in the day when short covering and
the buying of long stock at the low
er prices caused a sharp recovery.
AS to the latest developments in
the steel trade it is generally recog-
nized that business is in a more or
less chaotic state, and that the situ-
alton as a whole is not likely to be
benefited by the congressional inves-
tigation now under way. On the 9TH
er hand It is not thought that the
all around cut in prices will lead to
any such amount of competition as
followed the reduced schedule in the
early part of 1909.

through what are termed line yards,
over 100 members of the North Da-

special state convention yesterday.

Dean TaylOr's Address.
Declaring that if his suggestions
should be universally carried out that
the so-called idle class would dis
appear, Dean F. B. Taylor of James,
town college and professor of social
sciences plead for employers to take
more seriously the education OF their
employees while in the workshop be-
fore the lumbermen's convention here
yesterday afternoon. His address,
which was the principal speech of the
formal program, was on Theory and
Practice"
"If employers should spend the
same amount of thought and money
in the improvement of their employees
that they do in the improvement Of
their machines it would prove much
better paying proposition" said Dean
Taylor. Experts are secured at high
prices to bring out the greatest effi-
cheney of machinery and large sums
are expended annually to bring ma
chimes to the highest efficiency While
men, although infinitely more vital to
the production of merchandise, are
In most cases to plod along with lit
tlo or no assistance in improving their
faculties of producing more wealth
for their employers.
"And this is only the money side. "
he continued. "There is much
higher thought. Economists are more
and more abandoning the idea tina.
men are means to the production Of
goods and constantly leaning more to
the higher thought that the produc-
ton Of goods is secondary to the man.
The employer who seeks q higher
standard Of education for his helpers
by his management and direction is
sending blessing to humanity and at
the same time he is more rapidly fill
ing his own pockets.
"As the man progresses in the
science and philosophy of his work,
his interest in what he is doing is
increased many fold as we'll as his
efficiency. These results will increase
In direct ratio with his learning and
the progress is without limit. AS
deeper understanding comes to him
the miracle of what he is making and
the laws that make it possible seem
more profound. His greatest JOY be-
comes the doing of things and seeing
the results of his labor just as the
creator of the universe looked upon
his work and saw that it was good.
"When this is brought about, and
/ believe it will be, an ideal economic
condition will be reached. The idle
classes will lose interest in their idle
ness as the greatest joy will be known
to lie in the performing and viewing
Of the results of useful labor"
