The weakness Of the case of P. G..
Miller against the city, which shows
only stall on the part of the pets
and the disgruntled "outs" was we'll
displayed last Saturday when the Dew
lis Lake delegation appeared before
Judge Kneeshaw at Grand Forks to
argue the matter.
That there was very little upon
which to base case at all was very
evident from the fact that Judge
Kneeshaw required little time to think
over the matter, giving his decision to-
day denying the right of P. g.. Miller
TO secure permanent injunction
against the city to hold up further
proceeding in passing the ordinance
granting a franchise to F. E. Corson
to establish light, power, water and
phone plant in Devils Lake.
Even those who brought the action
from the arguments set forth showed
that they were not on firm foundation
and had little to say in their behalf
as to why the matter should not be
gone ahead with.
The argument did show clearly how
ever that the application for injunc-
ton was nothing more than stall to
set back if possible the city and the
enterprising members of the city coun-
Gil in securing better and cheaper
light and power.
The affidavit of prejudice fled
against Judge Cowan was only to hold
up the matter if possible and cause
more expense in securing another
judge. It is just this sort of sys-
te mthat the justice howlers are trying
to use to slip one over, ana never seem
to weary, even though beat at their
own game at every turn.
To be sure Devils Lake citizens
were damaged considerable in being
unable to secure immediate relief, but
the outfit that see no good in anything
unless it adds few more shackles to
its golfers cares not for the city and
its citizens.

COUNTRY HAS SUCH TALL
GRAIN THAT MEN MAY HIDE
AND DODGE SHERIFF.

Minot and Ward county are getting
considerable free advertising these
days, and all because man, John Col
Coma, fugitive from justice is want
ed for assault and battery and Sheriff
Kelly went out to get him. Golgoma
took to the wheat fields, and the grain
was thick and tall( at least that is
thu way the Minot papers tell it) that
the hunted man easily made his escape
from the officer Of the law. The sher.
iii is still hanging around the edge OF
the field, probably waiting for the bin
der to drive the fugitive out.

FIRE DESTROYS CITY's BIGGEST
INDUSTRY ENTAILING LOSS
OF $5O,0O0O0
Special to the World.

Wahpeton, Aug. 2.--Fire which
started in the shipping room last night
destroyed the North Star -four mills
at this place. The fire was discovered
about midnight and before the fire de.
partment could arrive on the scene
had gained such Roadway that there
was no chance to save any of the
buildings. The loss will be $4,000,
partly covered by insurance. The ori.
gin of the fire is unknown, but it is
thought that hoboes, sleeping in the
shipping room, or under it, must have
thrown lighted matches about.
The mill was ono of the best and
largest in the state, and was owned
by Matt Braun. 1t will undoubtedly
be rebuilt at once.

Wants from Delegates Assembled to
Launch Third Progressive Movement

among the delegates and is 10 to ]
shot that he can have anything and
everything that he asks Of the conven'
ton, his nomination to head the third
party as presidential candidate being
assured.
Dixon Calls Meet.
Senator Dixon, who is conducting
Roosevelt's campaign called the con.
vention to order this afternoon, but
little progress will be made today, at
the conclusion of the permanent or
ganization, President Roosevelt is
billed for an address when he will
prove that the people are unsatisfed
with the steam roller tactics at the
National Republican convention which
was recently held.
The platform committee was ap.
pointed today, but will not report until
Wednesday, being delayed until after
Roosevelt makes his speech which it
is expected will be confession of the
sort Of platform he wants to stand on
The Roosevelt speech will BE- made to
the delegates tomorrow afternoon and
is said to be masterpiece.
Governor johnson of California will
likely be the choice for a running
mate to Roosevelt, although if Mr..
Roosevelt shows the desire to have a
democrat for vice presidential candi
date, his wishes will be granted.

FIVE PERSONS NARROWLY Es.
CAPPED SERIOUS INJURY
SATURDAY.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Five persons
narrowly escapen serious injury yester
DAY when a bull maddened by the
sight of a red automobile, charged
mead down at speeding machine near
Elkhart, Ind, overturned it into a
ditch and hurled the occupants to the
ground. Only the fact that the ami
mails head became fastened in the
wreckage of the automobile prevented
the passengers from being gored. The
machine was driven by G. E. Frye, ana
four members of his family were the
other occupants. The party was en-
route from Middletown, Ohio, to Elk.
hart.
The automobile was painted bright
red. AS it was nearing Elkhart the
bull was grazing in pasture near tbs
road. There was no fence separating
the prairie from the highway and the
animal dashed toward the road as the
automobile approached.
Seeing the bull running straight to.
ward the machine, Frye put on full
speed in the hope that he would sue.
coed in passing the field before the
enragd animal reached the road. The
race WIS won by the bull, however
and when he saw that collision with
the beast could not be avoided FRYE
slowed up.
All escaped with few scratche.
and bruises. The bull was so badly IN
jured that it had to be shot.

A deal transferring the paper from

Dorr II. Carroll retlres from the news.
paper business to devote his time to
the practice Of law and to the Roose
Welt campaign in this section CT the
state.
Mr.. Carroll is a member of the exc
cutive committee Of the new Roose
welt party, and his duties in this con
nection together with his law practice
and other business are taking so much
OF his time, that he considered it adj
visable to dispose of his newsrape,
property. Mr.. Carroll has been very
successful in his management of the
paper and the only reason for the
change in ownership is the desire of
MI. Carroll to exert his energies il
other directions.
BY strange coincidence Mr.. John
son comes into possession o. the Re
porter just fifteen years after he lis
posed of it in 1897. Mr.. johnson pur
chased the Ward County Reporter
from J. L. Cotton in 1892, disposins
Of it at the end of five years.
Mr.. johnson is ore Of the most sue
cessful business men in the northwest
He is a pioneer Of northwestern North

GREAT NORTHERN BRAKEMAN
BADLY INJURED BY ROUGH.
NECKS AT ARVILLA.

Grand Forks, Aug. brakeman
F k Ely was stabbed in the stom,
ach, and Brakeman Andy Sullivan re
ceived a 1t about an inch deep and
three inches long, in the right breast
at the hands o. pair of hobos who
were trying to ride on a Great North
ern freight at Arvilla last night.
Ely is in st. Michael's hospital
The wound was clean, the knife wiel
ded by the murderous tramp being
driven straight in. The injured man
removed the knife from the wound
himself, the tramp taking to his heels
the moment he had STABBED him.
The two tramps, giving William s
Smith and ". ". Watson as their
names, are in the county Jail, being
captured by brakeman Sullivan and
several others after sensational pur.
suit in which the men once turned
on the man whom they had already
slightly injured.
At Larimore the men boarded the
train, and Sullivan and Ely ordered
them off at Arvilla. Sullivan was
standing on the Arvilla depot plat
form when the train started. The
mon tried to git on, and Sullivan
started toward them. Both jumped
almost directly in front of the brake
man, and they clinched.
AS the three men were rolling about
in the ditch where they had fallen
from tn platform, Ely came running
to the scene. One man turned his at
tention from SULLIVAN to the other
brakeman, and as he ran up, STABBED
him. Sullivan already had received
his injury in the hand to hand strug-
gle with the men.
When the stabbing occurred both
men started away from the seems.
Sullivan and several others gave pur-
suit in few minutes, and the men
turned on n'r. Sullivan was CARRYING
board, as well as revolver with
he borrowed from the depot agent,
and when he reached the closer of the
thugs, he dealt him a blow on the
head, laying him out.
