FERGUS FALLS MAN TELLS SHEER
IFF HE HEARD MEN PLOT
TRAIN ROREERY.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Aug. 1l.--Alnold
Hartman, a lo'al blacksmith, arrived
here today and repo.ir.l to Sheriff Bill
ings that an attempt was made to !ob
the Winnipeg Limited train On the
Great Northern railway a short distance
from Fargo week or more ago and

Mr.. Hartman told the sheriff that he
was walking to Garfield late in the
evening, and when a,aut two miles
from the village sourh-asU Of this city,
he was overtaken by a shower Of rain
and took refuge in a shanty which the
railway company had erected for stor-
age purposes. The place was close to a
bridge, and while he was waiting for
the storm to pass, four men drove up in
a big automobile and stopped a short
distance from the shanty.
"This is as good place as any to
do the job" he heard one Of them
remark, and with an oath, the fellow
sprang from the machine.
The others followed, and one of them
brought out telegraph instrument and
coil of wire. They then began dig.
ging around telegraph pole, for what
purpose he does not know. AMI few
minutes later one Of the men climbe
the pole and attached wire to the
wires above. Silence followed, but one
finally demanded of the other whether
( he had not received message. He
could not catch the answer, but it was
apparently in the negative, and thu
other man cursed the delay.
Mr.. Hartman, at about this time
thought it would be we'll for him tt
leave the locality, and he crawled quiet
ly away from the shanty, and aftel
crawling some little distance crossed
the track. Lightning flashed at thi
time and one of them caught sight O.
him.
"We must get that fellow" the sup
posed bandit called to his companions
and the men started in pursuit. Hart
man eluded his pursuers. He could sec

were carrying revolvers.
Mr.. Hartman went on to u farr
house and told his story. Later he re
ported to the Evansville village coun

IS HERE FROM SOUTH DAKO :
IA TODAY.

Henry Peterson of Garretson, S. D.,
was an arrival in the city to take his
wife, who has been sick here, back to
her home. Mr.. Peterson says crops in
South Dakota are not as bad as re-
ported and that good corn crop is in
prospect which will largely make up
any loss in the wheat yield. The bar
ley and oats are also far better than
has been reported and only small
territory will lose out entirely as re-

yesterday for aid n finding the boy.
but she has well-defined ideas as to
what may have become of him.
"My husband and 7 have been living
apart for several years." said Mrs.
Vein today. HE is sexton of st. Johns

of u three children. Francis was al

THROUGH BLUNDER
FREEHOLDERS BILL.
MAY Be VTIATED
Measure, as Signed by Gov
ernor, Is Inconsistent,
1t Is Claimed.
4From a staf Correspondent

TRENTON, April s.-Through a blum
der and the oversight of Governor Will
son in signing the measure, it is be-
lieved at the State House hat the Nc
Gran bill, Assembly No. 40. providing
for smaller boards of freeholders, has
been rendered ineffective. The official
copy, signed by the Governor last night,
contains two sections, and as they con
fiict with each other, 1t is believed that
the whole measure is vitiated.
Amendments Inconsistent.
The original bill provided that boards
of freeholders in all counties Of this
State having between 100, 900 and 800, 900
inhabitants should consist of seven
members. The measure was manda-
tory and took effect Immediately, so
that had 1t become a law in this form
1t would nave given every county in
the State practically a commission form
of government.
Before getting through the Legisla-
ture two amendments were adopted.
one inserting the word which have
adopted or shall hereafter adopt the
act of which this is a supplement" his
Language referring to the freebooter
act of 1902, which the McCran bill sup
plements. The other amendment
changed the minimum population basis
to $50, 0oO. AS the bill reached the Gov
ernor the first section 1 stood as
amended and Immediately following
was a second section numbered 1 and
containing precisely the original lam
guage.
Measure ms signed.
The second section contained a re-
peater of the parts Inconsistent with
the act. In this form the Governor
signed the bill and it was duly filed
with the secretary of State. AS the
measure now stands, the first section
/ applies to all counties which have
adopted or shall hereafter adopt the
act of 1902 and which have a population
of between $50, 1000 and 800, 900. while the
second section 1 applies the act to all
counties in the State having between
100, 900 and 300, 900 inhabitants.
