with the President Tuesday afternoon
and informed him that persistent ru-
mors that the United States was pre-
pairing for another intervention in Cuba
were coming from Havana. Mr.. Taft
reply was cabled Immediately to Hava-
ma, but was not made public until the
minister received authority from his
government late tonight.

MOOSE PICNIC
AT HAzEL10N

Hazelton Republican: Last Sunday,
the date of the big Moose picnic,
broke cold and cloudy with a fierce
%nor'wester blowing and for a time
despair was in the hearts OF the hun
dreds who were contemplating at
tending the big picnic at Campbell's
grove. However about noon folks be-
gan to thaw out and get acclimated
enough so that it was decided to hold
the affair, and although the crowd
was much smaller than would have
been the case had the weather been
fine, those who did 60 had a good
time. The picnic party assembled
rather late for lunches, but somehow
the mammoth pile of sandwiches, the
big ~freezers o. ice cream, barrels OF
lemonade and cases of oranges We're
entirely consumed.
The real funny feature of the picnic
was the ball game between q team
picked from members Of the Moose
and one composed of civilians" The
players most Of them wore their coats
and had a hard time working up a
sweat at that. The Moose won 5 to
2 and although their team had In
its lineup such old time base ball
artists as Pat. Ryan, Roy Yeater, Jude
Horstmeyer, AL Miyalson and others
who had not been in the harness for
a number OF years, the game they
played plainly showed the earmarks
Of professionalism.
To make civilian" defeat more hui
initiating was the fact that their team
was composed largely of the harden
ed players Of Hazelton's regular
team. The lineup was as follows:

ROSS DAMAGE SUIT
TAKEN TO FARGO
Suit Against Cooper viii be
Removed From
hiIIsbOrO

FARGO, July 9.-The $4,000 dam
age suit brought by Katherie Ross
against McLaine Cooper which grew
out of the recent. McLain Cooper
shooting case tried at Grand Forks
last fall, will be brought to Fargo and
tried here before Justice Pollock at
the November term of the district
court.
The action was brought by Mrs.
Ross against Cooper to recover dam
ages for the loss of her husband, who
was declared to have been shot by
Cooper in self defense on the latters
farm. Ross died from the effects of
the wounds received.
The McLain Cooper trial was n
in which the interests of the entire
northwest were cetered last year and
the present action will be closely
watched by everyone who followed
the details Of the alleged murder case.
The Ross $4,000 damage suit was
brought up for hearing before Judge
Pollock this week at the present term
of court at HillsDoro. 1t was founa
that 1t was difficult to impanel q jury
on account of the prejudice SO yester-
day afternoon the court deferred the
hearing until November term of court
in Fargo.
In all probability Judge Pollock and
Court Reporter Green will return to
Fargo this evening as there were not
many other cases on the calendar at
Hillsboro this term.

SIDE SCHOOLS
OPENED FOR THE
FALL TERM
Both Public and Parochial
Institutions Open-High
Has Been Enlarged.

With all but one of the teachers in
the city, and the students ready to re-
sumo their work, the East Grand
Forks schools opened this morning for
the fall term. The morning was given
over entirely to registration. The reg
ular work was commenced this after
noon. when the books were assigned
and preparations made for the holding
of the first classes tomorrow morning.
The enrolment was satisfactory.
The high school enrolment was larg-
er than 1t has eve been before. and
there is every indication that 1t will go
still higher. Superintendent Wolfe
said this morning that there was no
doubt that the high school enrolment
would be the largest in the history Of
the institution.
The grade enrolment this year is
not large. owing to the fact that the
parochial school vas opened for the
first time. Both the lower and upper
grades of the school suffered consid-
erably because Of the opening Of the
new school. but 1t is expected that the
grade enrolment will increase.
Parochial School Opens.
The opening of the new parochial
school was encouraging. There was a
large enrolment, and considerable en-
thusiasm has been displayed by both
pupils and instructors. The school
gives indications of being a big sue
cess in every way.

P0sT0FF|CE WAS ROBBED
Robbers Enter Bagley Office and Take
$500 in Money and Stamps
Are Not Apprehended.

Yesterday morning the %postof1ce at
Bagley was entered by robbers who
blew the safe and secured 5000 in in
money and stamps. They, however,
overlooked $500 more in stamps. En-
trance to the building was gained
through a window in the rear. 1t is
supposed that the robbery took place
about 2 o'clock in the morning, the
safe being found rified when the post
Office Officials opened the office in the
morning.
No clue to the robbers has been
found, although the officials have tele-
phoned to all the surrounding towns
notifying the officials t o be on the
guard for suspicious looking charac-
tiers. Two such have been hanging
around the town for several days ac-
cording to the postmaster at hat
place. and while suspicion has fasten-
ed upon them. nothing definite has
been discovered to connect them with
the crime. 1t is believed probable
that the crime was committed by the
same robbers who recently entered
two stores at FOSSton.
