from Fargo.
Shortly after Mr.. knights disap-

probably lost all that he had appro-
priated through bad speculation, but
authorities who have been camping
on his trail since he disappeared have
determined that he must have had
the bulk of the amount on his person
when he left.
1t was found that he had %speculated
to some extent in wheat, and that in
these transactions he came out a win
ner.
One of the authorities who Is en-.
deavoring to find trace of the missing
man. has received a communication
from a friend in which the writer
states that he visited a fortune teller
recently Who declared knight was on
the ocean This. however. did not
prove a great enough incentive ia

Great Northern Will. Aid
Grand Forks Shippers

Grand Forks merchants will not
have to contend with delayed outgo-
ing shipments if Superintendent Nc
Loughlin of the Great Northern can
prevent it. At a conference this
morning at the Commercial club be-
tween Superintendent McLoughlin Of
Grand Forks and the railroad ON
nittee of the Commercial club, the
railroader announced that another
freight would be- put on the western
schedule at once and that he would
do everything possible to see that the
shipments of Grand Forkers shippers
are gotten out on time. The Com
mercial club committee presented
shipping receipts to show that numer
Gus shipments have. been seriously
delayed in getting out Of this city.
1t was announced at the Great
Northern today that the new local
way freight would be put in service
in the morning. between Grand Forks
and Devils Lake. The train will leave
Grand Forks Tuesdays and Saturdays.
1t was also shown at the conference
this morning that the express rates
here are at least twenty per cent
higher than in South Dakota. This
matter will be taken up with. the rail-
road commission this week. The

The human butterfly" act. a SEN
sational aerial spectacle which has
amazed Europe, will be seen with
Ringing Brothers circus in his city
soon. 1t is the most beautiful and at
the same time the most daring of
high air performances.
The three Ty-Bell sisters. the orig
inators of the act, who presented it
in Europe. have been engaged t o re-
peat it here. They are the most beau
tiful women who ever appeared before
an audience in Paris. The act was
engaged by one of the foreign agents
of the circus at a salary exceeding
any amount ever paid for another
circus act. 1t is absolutely a depar-
ture from stereotyped aerialistics. 1t
must not be COMPOUNDED with COM
mon iron-jawed performances. which
are often executed in air to give them
the appearance Of danger, but which
in reality are very tame affairs that
no end of flowing robes and ribbon
showers can lift from the mediocre.
These three Nenus-like girls are
suspended from the dome of the tent
by means Of slender steel wires. To
these they cling with the mere use of
their teeth. By means of invisible
machinery above them, they are made
to revolve. dart, fly and circle through
space with the grace and ease of sea
gulls. Throughout the act a battery
Of calciums and electric spot lights

before the county commissioners this
afternoon and after stating the North

asked them to put a bounty Of 50 a

the code. The matter is being given
consideration and it is quite likely
some provision will be made to stamp
out the coyote and wolf evil, which is
said to be rather a %pestilence in some
parts of the county.

turned on the woman and fired three
shots in the direction Of her head.
The chicken fancier narrowly escaped

where she summoned the sheriff.
BY the time Sheriff Glaum arrived
at the scene of the chicken house
robbery. Rathbone was on his way
toward h tramp camp singing mer-
rily. The sheriff followed. AS the Of
ficer drew closer to the bad man.
he fired several shots in the air in an
attempt to frighten the thief. Rath-
bone. instead of becoming alarmed as
expected, turned upon the sheriff and
fired. Glaum was hit in the leg.
With the blood streaming from an
ugly wound, the sheriff followed his
man. chased him into the gang Of
tramps and finally. with the help Of
some Of the "mulligan'' party, placed
Rathbone under arrest.

!. Upon a vote for county division
SIX precincts made returns of their
respective votes upon state and coun-

blanks furnished for that purpose and
attached thereto by means of metallic
fasteners the tally sheet used by
them in counting the county division
votes. However, the tally sheet SO
used contained enough writing and
figures to conform to the law as a Ter
tifcate of the vote. Held. that 1t was
the plain intent of the precinct off,

guishable from cases where the tally
