NO BAD CONGESTION
GRAIN BLOCKADE SEEMS UN
LIKELY OWING TO LATENEss
OF LAST SHIPMENTS.
TOTAL AMOUNT GREAT.
Delay Caused by Bad Weather Gave
Roads Chance to Catch Up With
Their Transportation.

Fargo.-Owing to the lateness of
the season in which the largest por-
tion of the grain grown in the north
west will be shipped there is likely to
be no serious freight congestion. The
railroads have systematized the work
to such an extent that very few COM
plants are being made by shippers.
The unfavorable weather, which
stopped threshing and harvesting all
over the state for three weeks early
In the season, caused delay which
has not yet been made up. AS re-
suit grain shipments are smaller than
for the corresponding weeks last
year.
Before the shipping season is end.
ed, however, the total amount OF
grain shipped will show enormous
proportions as compared with any
other year in the history of North
Dakota. The longer time over which
the shipments will be spread relieves
the congestion and enables the rail
roads to handle all the grain threshed
as soon as it is ready to go forward
There was some apprehension that
the elevators would be filled to over
flowing and would refuse to take
grain. While it is true that all the
elevators are handling about all the
grain they can, still there has been
no cause for worry and there has
been enough storage room for all the
grain marketed.

ROBBER STEALS HORSE.
Man Who Stole Animal Tried to Sell
Him Here.

Grand Forks.-A highwayman, who
is still at large, held up three thresh.
ers and stole horse from farmer
near Johnstown.
When the horse was reported stol-
en- to the sheriffs Office, Sheriff Ben
son called up all the livery barns in
town, but could find no trace of the
stolen animal. The horse has been
in Bacon's barn since Saturday, with
the exception of short time on Sat
urday morning, when the horse thief,
with unheard of effrontery, hired a
buggy and harness from the barn and
drove around town trying to sell the
horse. He wanted SIS, but could find
no purchaser at the price,
When Sheriff Benson was notified
that the horse was in Bacon's barn
he telephoned to Sam Stuart, the con-
stable at Gilby, to notify Frank Bang
don, the owner of the stolen horse,
that it was in Bacon's barn in Grand
Forks
The three men who were held up
are Herbert McCauley, Albert Gun
derson and James Higgins of Mentor,
MINI. They were on their way east
and had entered vacant barn at
Johnstown to sleep till train time.
About II o'clock masked man came
into the barn with a revolver in his
hand and compelled the threshers to
turn over all of their valuables. Nc
Cauley dug up $3.75, Higgins sS.4O
and Gunderson a draft for $140, a
note for $13 and $40 in cash.
The robber told his victims not to
leave the barn before morning under
pain of being shot, and they took him
at his word. In the morning they
notified the local police.
The h..shwayman h is described by
his victims as being about 80 years
Of age, about five feet six inches tall.
with dark hair and blue eyes. He
wore dark coat and a pair of over

years ago. For the last eighteen
years l have grown them regularly

largest yield, prior to this season, was
eighteen bushels. This year the crop

of which is that it should be done in
