-Four men were sent from Wexford
county to the pcnitentiary during the
past week for crimes directly attrlb-
utable to the return OF the saloons 70
that county. The fact that the men
had proceeded almost directly from
the saloon 10 the commission OF the
offenses which made them convicts
brought again the people Of that c0un-
ty face to face With the burden aud
penalty which the saloons brought
back with them. And then The suit
of a mother just STATED for $4,000 for
the death Of her boy while under the
influence OF liquor bought from a Cad
lilac dealer adds further to the record
Of deaths and disgrace and sorrow
which has come TO Wexford county as
the result of the repeal of the local
option law. 1t is hardly probable that
even the liquor interests OF Michigan
will regard the recapture OF Wexford
county as an Incident that has been
creditab or helpful TO their cause.

Through a referendum vote the peo-
pie OF one precinct of the twelfth
ward OF the city Of Detroit we're per
mitted TO express their wish touching
the establishment Of another saloon
in that vicinity. The total number
of votes cast on the question as to es-
adjustment Of the saloon in the
twelfth ward precinct was 436. or
this number 377 votes were cast
against another saloon and but 90 in
its favor. That vote and what 1t
suggests will bring further trouble 10
the brewers and saloon interests OF
Detroit. 1t shows that In matter
relating TO the location Of the saloon
within the vicinity of their own
hones the people OF some sections OF
our states largest city are more in'
tense and insistent anti-salOun advo
Gates than the residents OF any quiet
country village. And that vote OF al
most TO in opposition TO the saloor
Is an inc ication of the existence aB(
growth Of local option sentiment quite
leyond the most enthusiastic claims
of any Of its advocates.

HUNTING PROSPECT
GOOD this YEAR
MANY HUNTERS EXPECT TO CAP
TuRE THEIR FULL QUOTA OF
GAME THIS. YEAR-THAT STEM
WICK HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE
SEASON.

Fargo hunters are busily engaged in
getting ready for the opening Of the
season Thursday. The birds are very
plentiful and every nimrod from the
gate city expects to get his full quota
OF birds.
That chickens and ducks are more
plentiful in North Dakota this year
than they have been in many years is
the statement Of State Came Warden
z. Fl. Stenvick of Minot, who has just
issued instructions to the 1900 deputy
game wardens OF the state as to the
plan to be followed in enforcing the
laws during the season which opens
Sept. Z.
Il never saw SO many chickens in
North Dakota as there are this year, :
said Mr.. Stenvick. TT seems that the
spring was exceptionally favorable for
Matching and there has been an abund-
ance of feed during the summer The
game wardens report that the fields IN
McHenry. Bottineau, Renvills. Noun
trail. Burke, Divide, williams, Ward
and Mckenzie, counties especially are
alive with chickens.
Generally speaking there have moi
been many cases Of poaching this year.
The large number OF deputies have
been on the ground and while few ar
rests have been made, as general rule
the sportsmen OF the state have acted
in q sportsmanlilxe manner. / believe
that sentiment in favor Of obeying the
game laws Of the state Is growing and
that in a few years the person who
wilfully breaks q game law will be
looked down upon by his companions"

This is the fifth successive year that
Larned has won the championship
and the seventh time in the score OF
years that he has been prominent
figure on the courts. He has won two
champion trophies and now has one
leg in a third cup.
Larned made the pace from the
start. After Mclaughlin had taken
the first game, the champion began q
dashing game, driving Mclaughlin
back from the net to the base line
where the Californian seemed unable
to get back, his strokes netting many
times.
Throughout the match Of twenty
eight games. only eight went to deuce.
and four of theee were soon decided.
Larned's mastery was manifest in
the strength Of his strokes and his
accurate placements, while McLough-
Inns return Of the bullet like strokes
OF his opponent were weak. The chsi-
lenger made more than twice as many
nets as he scored outs. although in
the first he scored six service aces.

STRANGER TO BE
BURIED HERE
MAN WHO DIED AT FRONT
STREET BOARDING HOUSE YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE
LAID TO REST IN FARco--WAs A
RECENT Conner TO CITY.

One OF the saddest deaths In Fargo
in some time was that yesterday after
noon Of w. N. Bechtel. an absolute
stranger in the city, who died very UNI
expectedly at the boarding house Of
Mrs. A. Anderson, 81 Front street. Sad
der even than his death among Notal
strangers are the particulars Of his
last hours and the fact that he will
probably be buried here tomorrow aft
ernoon away from his wife or kith
or kin.
The incidents surrounding the death
of the deceased were that he was just
a very recent arrival in Fargo, having
come here to work, He had no sooner
taken room at the Anderson board
ing house when he was seized with an
acute attack Of Bright's disease, which
carried him away.
A search through his clothes resulted
in finding q very pathetic letter from
the mans wife. living near Quincy,
Ill. The letter reveals that both man
and wife were in hard straits, and The
wife patheticaliy entreats her husband
to do all he can to procure work so as
TO help them out OF their present pre-
dicament. She asks to be advised In
regard to the whereabouts of his fam
lily so that she can keep them posted
and asked him 70 inform Of what he
is doing. The letter also mentioned
that his mother resides near Indian
apolis.
The body was removed to the Wasem
morgue where 1t was prepared for burr
ial. and Undertaken Wasem wired the
relatives. but at q late hour this after
noon no response had come. so it was
thought the body OF the man would
probably be buried here.
