FOREST FIRES
MAY CAUSE SUIT
INSURANCE COMPANIES MAY
COMBINE TO SUE CANADIAN
NORTHERN RAILROAD CO.
CLAIMED THAT ACTION WILL
BE FOR $s25,oOo.

II IL reported that between twenty
five and thirty life and fire insurance
companies are about to enter into a
combine to sue the Canadian Nor
thern railroad for about $S25,OOO, that
being the amount they were compell-
ed to nav out for losses sustained III
the northern Minnesota forest tlres
last year.
The ground on which the tnsur-
Nnce companies stand is the fact that
The individual suits against the rail-
Dad companies, both the Great NOR
hern and the Canadian Northern
have been decided in favor OF the
plaintiffs in nearly every case, and
that in this way both the Canadian
and the Minnesota courts have estab-
lished the liability of the railroad
companies.
In the Crookston, Bemidji, Fergus
Falls and other courts of the northern
part of Minnesota nearly all of the
suits of this character have been de-
ctded gainst the railroad companies.
It is understood that papers will be
fled in a short time in the United
States court in Fergus Falls.
Local Men Uncertain.
Local insurance men. when inter
viewed on the subject today, stated
that while they had heard nothing OF
the matter from their respective head
offices, stu believe the plan plausi-
BILE.
"The main question" said one
prominent insurance man of the CITY,
els. can the insurance companies
prove the origin of the fires? The
civil courts have held that the rail-
roads are liable and the companies
have been compelled to pay out much
money on the suits won against them
but whether the insurance companies
can make the railroads pay their
losses Is another matter. While l
have heard nothing about this matter,
other than what has been printed IN
Insurance papers and magazines, l
believe that there is a possibility OF
the suits being started"

Although there is no holiday in the
city, business is practically at stand
stiN today. Those who could not
leave the city for three days are out
to the circus. Grown up men remem-
Der their boyhood days and take their
children to see the sights that at one
time thrilled themselves.
For about an hour this morning,
practically the only thing doing was
the circus parade which engaged
every ones attention, big and little.
The streets were lined with people
watching the long train Of animals,
wagons and bands.
The city is partially depopulated
this afternoon as everyone who can
get away is out to the circus grounds
looking for something new IL they
have seen a circus before and watch
ing the shows with interest, IL it is
their first experience.
Besides the crowds that are attend
ing the circus, there are hundreds of
Fargoans enjoying themselves at the
lakes. A good many of them were
able to get away from their business
today thus making three vacation
days.
Practically all the business houses
and offices will be closed tomorrow
and the celebration Of the nations
birthday will be general throughout
the city. There will be no evening pa
per tomorrow as The Forum will sus-
pend publication for the second time
in several years.

left her home which was near by, to
persuade her husband. one of the
party, to go home Hilariousness was
turned into anger and fight ensued
during the progress of which the
woman is alleged to have been serious
ly injured by kicks and blows.
Those who know of the fracas say
that every effort is being made to pre-
vent the really interested parties from
reporting the matter to the police, or
the county attorney. Ii is said that the
woman was in delicate condition and
that a very serious case in the courts
may be the final result.

GIGANTIC LOAF
OF BREAD MADE
sHRINERs WILL ADVERTISE
NORTH DAKOTA WITH LOAF or
BREAD TWELVE FEET LONG
WEIGHS $40 PoUN Ds-WouLp
MAKE $50 SMALL LoAVEs.

The members OF FL ZagaI Shrine
who will go to the big Rochester con-
vention are going to advertise North
Dakota in one of the most unique
manners that has ever been sprung.
They are going to use a gigantic loaf
Of bread to advertise the merits OF
the fiickertail state. 1t will be taken
on the Shriners special.
This great mass Of the staff Of life
is manufactured of North Dakota No.
/ hard wheat and will be used to show
the fasteners what good bread can
be turned out of the wheat grown in
this state. The loaf was baked by
Louis Mentzel in the bakery Of Abe
NordaIe.
From end to end the loaf measures
twelve feet. 1t is two feet wide, ten
inches high and has in 1t S4,56O cubic
inches. This loaf of bread is so large
that 1t would make 1850 good sand
wiches and is equal to $50 small loaves
Of bread. 1t weighs 24O pounds.
1t would keep man and wife in
bread for one whole year, provided 1t
could be kept fresh. A family of six
could live off the bread in the loaf for
three months. If man would start
eating on the loaf today and eat on it
twenty-four hours every day, it would
require two weeks time to elapse be-
fore he could, by continual eating fin
ish his task.
The pan for the bread was made
especially for this particular loaf by
Hubert Harrington.
