PUG|L|sT SUED
FOR NON-SUPPORT
Claimed by Spouse That He
Has Failed and Neglected
to Provide for Her.

Fargo. N. d., Aug. 15.-Luther Nc
earthly, we'll known in pugilistic Cir
cleS of this vicinity as Luck AIcCar-
thy, who has been called the North
Dakota white mans hope, was arrest
ed by Deputy Sheriff Bingham on the
complaint of Mrs. Mccarthy, who ar
rived this morning from Pittsburg,
for non-support of herself and child.
A hearing was held in justice court
before Judge H. F. Miller, and the
complainant was present and testi-
fled that she had not been supported
by him for number of months and
asked for maintenance for herself
and baby. Mrs. Mccarthy looks to be
about 20 years old and the baby is a
remarkably pretty child.
The hearing was continued for a
period of thirty days and the we'll
known pugilist was put under bonds
during the interim. 1t Is understood
that arrangements We're endeavored
to be made several weeks ago where
by Mrs. Mccarthy was to receive an
allowance from her husband, and
that the fighter agreed at that time,
but that he has since failed to keep
up his part Of the agreement, which
necessitates the trip of Mrs. Mccarthy
and her baby to North Dakota.
Luck works In a pressing and
cleaning establishment on N. P. ave.
nue. under the lobby of the Metropole
hotel. 1t is understood he has sew.
eral boxing bouts scheduled for Min.
nesota towns during the next two
weeks.

TRAVELLERS ARE
ASKED TO BOOST
Minot Seeks Their Aid and Of.
fers Special Commercial
Club Membership

Minot, N. D.. Aug. 15.-Every trav-
cling man in northwestern North Da-
kota is asked to join the Minot COM
mercial club, and boost for the magic
city and for the fickertail state.
At members meeting at the club
an amendment to the constitution was
unanimously adopted reducing the
membership fees for travelling men
from $40 to SIS and the monthly dues
from 81 to 81 a month.
The object of the amendment is to
induce the travelling men generally to
become affiliated with the club. Sec
rotary Sherman has taken great in
terest in securing as many travelling
men as members Of the club as pos
sible. Discussing the matter Mr..
Sherman said:
North Dakota has no class of citi-
zens who can do the state as whole
more good than the travelling men.
The travelling men come into daily
touch with the best class of business
men Of all the cities and villages III
the state Their business is to boost
and there is not more loyal class of
citizens in the state. They are for
NOTlu OdhOLd, llISl, last tllu ull liIc
time.
II fear that we have not paid
enough attention to the travelling men
and have not sought their corporation
to the extent that we might If every
travelling man in the state would
make it point to join his home COM
mercial club what an influence he
would have, he would be like the
commercial clubs of the state having
several hundred active boosters trav-
cling about the northwest, dissemin-
ating valuable information as to the
opportunities of North Dakota and as
sisting the business men of each COM
munity in building up the state and
developing its resources to the fullest
possible extent.
Further than this, believe that
North Dakota should do everything
in its power to improve conditions for
the travelling men. Better hotels, bet
ter restaurants, more modern houses
cheaper rent and more ideal condi-
lions in every way should be provided
in order that the knights Of the grip
may be induced to reside permanently
! In North Dakota. The best way tc
get any class OF business men to boost
| for the state is to make conditions
such that business men can rear 8
! family under the most ideal condi.
tions."

NEW HOME FOR
THE FARGO ELKS
Plans Being Laid With That
Aim in View-Good Prog
gress is Being Made.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 15.-The Fargo
Elks are very enthusiastic about a
new home which will be a permanent
abode for that lodge and an orna-
ment to the city as we'll. At the
business meeting although the attend
ance was not what was at first eX-
pected, the building committee made
report to the lodge, which was en-
dorsed and the committee was given
power to act.
| The committee comprises G. G.
Schuyler, W. ]. Price and G. o. Smith
Its personnel is considered one of the
best that Exalted Ruler Mcdonald
could possibly have selected. NJ
Schuyler is one of the we'll known
real estate men In the city and is ex.
cellently posted on real estate values
IN every quarter Of Fargo. Mr.. Price
has long been advocating an Elks
home. ever since he himself was ex.
allied ruler and being a contracto,
possesses good judgment upon the
probable cost Of home, and Mr.
Smith is one of the best business mer
IN Fargo and would be most conserv.
alive about taking any steps for the
lodge.
A report was made by the commit.
tee which contained proposition tc
purchase the building now occupied
by the Elks, which was felt by the
committee as an excellent investment
A motion to receive the report an6
postpone 1t for consideration at E
later meeting was lost and a substi
tute motion to empower the buildins
committee to act prevailed.

New York, Aug. 15.-Taking the

a list OF gains which ran from one to

belief that the recent selling was of

THE MARKETS

London, Aug. 15.-Money and dis
count rates were quiet today. The
bank of England secured most of the
100000 new gold laid down In the
open market.
The labor trouble in the north was
responsible for sharp break in
home rails on the stock exchange.
Prices declined for 1 to points and
other British shares were o in SYM
patty. The closing was unsettled at
the lowest point of the day. Quay
quill lost four points. sg
American securities opened steady
and higher. Carry over rates for the
settlement were quoted at 1-2 per
cent. These charges were unchanged
from the previous settlement and they
strengthened the market during the
forenoon. Prices advanced under the
lead of Canadian Pacific and Union
Pacific and at midday values ranged
from Ia to 2 IA points above par
ity. Wall street selling caused a re-
action in the afternoon and the mar

Jamestown to Streeter road is being
improved at the present time, while
the road from Jamestown to Jud and

Minot, N. D., Aug. 15.-Oficials Of
the Ward County Fair association are
laying plans for the holding of the
biggest fair and exposition that has
ever been held in the western section
Of the state, September 1S to 20 be-
ing the dates that have been fixed for

preparing to exhibit.
Several new buildings will be erect
ed on the fair grounds during the next
few weeks, thus affording ample
facilities in which to take care Of the

Former State Senator Loses His Wife
by Death.

Hebron, N. D., Aug. 15.-Mrs. Leutz,
wife of ex-senator Leutz, and the
mother Of five children, died here
quite suddenly Saturday at O'Clock
in the afternoon. The cause of death
was complications. The death was a
great shock to the many friends of the
deceased as we'll as to the immediate
family as the lady while ailing for
some time was not considered in a
dangerous condition and her taking
off was sudden.
Mrs. Leutz was born in Berlin, Ger
many, in 1867, and came to America
In 1885. and was united in marriage
"a year later. Eight children were
born to them, four of whom still live

HISTORY Of THE
DEVILS LAKE JAIL
Building Which Might We'll
Be Rented Now Has Had a
Unique Place in Life.

Devils Lake. N. D., Aug. 15.-"For
Rent"-the old Ramsey county Jail.
A sign of this character would be APP
propriate il hung on the steel door Of
the old Jail this morning, which was
left open for the first time in twenty
four years.
The history Of the old Jail, which
has been presided over by Sheriffs
Wagness, Barton, Rutten, Mclean and
Belford, is remarkable. The number
OF prisoners that have been behind
the bars since the old Jail was opened
is 1878. The first prisoner TO be plac-
ed in Jail March Z. 1887, was Martin
Steen, who was arrested on charge
OF burglary.
Hundreds of sheriffs have visited
the Jail from most every state in the
union and during the years of its eX-
istence there have been prisoners be-
hind its walls from almost every state.
When first erected it was admired by
all who visited it, as the new Jail is
now admired 1t was one OF the best
jails in North Dakota, all the latest
appliances of the times having been
installed in 1887.
jails established in the northwestern
part OF North Dakota has made it
significant, since it has dons service
for all the northwestern tier Of coun-
ties, including Ward. Rolette. Nelson,
Towner, Pierce and McHenry Humid
reds of United States prisoners have
been placed behind its walls, and it
has probably held more prisoners
tried in the United States courts than
all of the jails in North Dakota COM
bined.
During its existence no one has
ever been placed behind its bars
whose name began with X, Y or z, al
though there are several VS. who have
been jailed here. Two Jail registers
have been used up since the establish
ment of the county institution. and on
the registers names beginning with
the letter M and W abound.
With numerous criminals of every
description from many counties in
this section of the state and from ar
rests made by federal authorities II
is not necessary to explain that the
Ramsey county Jail has had within
its steel gates the most hardened
CTlu1udLS ever arrested III Iue SLaLe
Criminals who have committed al
most every sort of crime imaginable
have been placed in the Ramsey
county bastile, and many interesting
stories have eminated from Devils
Lake, due to the fact that criminals
from over this entire section of the
state have been jailed here before
other counties had secured jails.
When moving day arrived recentN
there were only four who were be
hind the bars who were ushered by
Sheriff Mclean and Deputy Noonal
to the new home, which is admitted
by all who have visited it to be tn,
finest Jail building in North Dakota.

JARBIDGE's FIRST MILL RUN.

The Salt Lake Telegram says a
recent arrival from Jarbidge says
that the first mill run in the camp
was made last week, at the plant
erected by +. L. Fletcher and as
sociates. The results were far more
satisfactory than the owners had
anticif ated. After the mill had
been run only five hours the gold
piled up on the plates so thick
that it was necessary to shut down
for cleanup, with the results that
$1,000 in gold was taken from the
plates. The run was made on the
best ore taken from the mine. In
the future, however, ore of a lower
grade will be milled. 1t is thought
that the average output will be
from $4,000 to $4,000 per month.
Two other mills will soon be run
ming in the Jarbidge district, which
gives promise of being a heavy pro-
