Young Petite escaped with minor

The young man was driving across
the tracks. when he saw a caboose

tried to pull the horses back, but they

OLE OLSON.

Gus Heege's famous comedy drama,
"Ole Olson" is still engaged in pro.
noting laughter, gaiety and good
feeling and will be offered as a fun
maker at the Metropolitan on We'd
nesday by northland singers and Ar
thur Lawson and q company of guar
anteed excellence. Fifteen years of
unbroken success for this delightful
comedy give proof that it possesses
ARE qualities hat make for popular
success.
In "Ole Olson" the story is told in
a simple. natural and sympathetic
manner that appeals to the heart: the
fun is not forced, but bubbles up
spontaneously and the incidents are
presented in a way that carries con-
viction. These are tho qualities that
have given "Ole Olson" success. The
performance to be given here has
been directed and rehearsed by Ben
Hendricks and is the only one author
lied and sanctioned by Gus Heege's
heirs. The company presenting ole
is an excellent one.

SAYS PROSPERITY
OF THIS STATE IS
MOI OVER BOASTED

When you depart from Grand Forks
you are leaving a mighty good little
! city. according to A. r. Jones. travel
ing freight and passenger agent of the
P~eninsular and Occidental Steamship
company, with headquarters at Jack
sonville, Fla. who is in Grand Forks
for h first time in a year today.
Mr.. Jones a travelled over practi-
cally the entire state. present trip TAX
ing him as far west as Butte. He says
that conditions Loo better than he has
ever seen them in North Dakota nd
that he expects considerable travel
from this part of the state this winter.
Il look for Dakotans to be travelling
some this winter as they seem to have
money this fall" said the passenger
agent. North Dakotans are good
spenders and they like to get out and
see the country. We do a nice bust
ness from this section every year. My
trip leads me to believe that the good
times talked about in this state have
not been over boosted this fall. Bust
ness seems to he brisk everywhere.
Il have not been in Grand Forks for
a year. but l a see an Improvement
In this fine little city even in so short
a time. Business is much better here,
I think. than when l visited the state
last ear about this time"
"Travelers will be interested in
knowing hat W. are this year running
u boats to the canal. This gives
them a better opportunity to see the
Panama than they will possibly have
when the waterway is opened to the
boats"

I had q blowout Friday that delayed
me quite a while. A bucking machine

feeling sore at anyone. not even at
my luck. for I might have had q
whole lot harder time on this stage
OF my journey than I have had.
Omaha Is a beautiful city and q
very busy place. The wholesale dis
trict is especially interesting. Great
jobbing houses cover blocks OF the
business district. The retail section is
the largest department stores in the
country here. I didn't think Omaha
could boast Of such a place. It seem.
ed to me I bumped into some corner
OF that store every way I turned. The
depots here are fine. They can't help
but give h traveller a fine impression
Of the city upon his arrival in town.

and l certainly believe it. I believe
Omaha could improve in it's street
cars. Some Of the cars look like
Noah's ark and I guess they are about
as old. This town has one Of the
finest parks I have ever seen. It COW
ers acres and acres Of ground and is a
genuine happyland for the little folks

a place as the Grand Forks Evening

I asked one of the pressmen when the

the dickens and told some other fell
lows what I had said. / called on the
little boost. He said he had kept track
of baseball in Grand Forks and
thought we would have a nice little
league when we got some more towns
on the circuit.
Everybody is treating me finer than
silk on this trip. They are especially
nice to me when I hand them one OF
the cards that yer given me by The
Evening Times before I left home.
When n is travelling and wants q lit

by saying that he is identified with a

Of making both ends meet IL possible.

IN GUN BATTLE
WITH BAD NEGRO
Officers Return His Fire and
Finally Arrest Him Aft
er Hard Scuffle.

Fargo, Oct. 21.-Front street was
the scene Of considerable excitement
Sunday afternoon when Tom Coleman,
colored. fired several shots from a "A
caliber revolver at Officer Pickering,
and the policeman returned the fire.
The shooting attracted Special Officer
kraemer, and when he came to Pick
ering's assistance several other negroes
interferred.
Coleman attempted to purchase a
revolver in the Simon store on Lower
Front street. and when the u was
handed across the counter he took
several cartridges from his pocket and
loaded it. This aroused the suspicious
of the proprietor. and he took the
gun back and placed it in the show
window, while Coleman was ordered
out of the store.
The negro then broke the show WIN
dow and stole the gun, and when ap.
preached by Officer Pickering. filed
the chamber with cartridges and COM
menced firing point blank at the po-
liceman. Both Officers Pickering and
kraemer exhibited considerable nerve
in facing the fire. and finally succeed
ed in collaring the negro. Another
colored man named Derbey attempted
erty. and assaulted the officers in a
vicious manner. He too was placed
under arrest.
When the officers arrived al head
quarters with their prisoners Coleman
put up another fight. Four men were
necessary to handle him to put hand
cuffs on his wrists. Angered by his
arrest he exhibited almost superhu-
man strength. He raj placed in his
cell with his hands securely manacled.
Many arrests were made over Sum-
day on minor charges. Half a dozen
plain DRINKS were taken into custody.
One man was arrested for sleeping on
the streets. and Jack Wallace was ar
rested on the charge of keeping a
house of prostitution.
