eMayHave Been
Motive For the Murder
JIM STEWART
WAS HELD UP

Alderman Stewart of the First ward
was the victim of an attempted hold
up last night near his place of bust
ness on Northern Pacific avenue. He
was standing in front of his place
when a diminutive sized coon stepped
up to him, coming from the shadow
of the Knerr block and sticking gun
in his face asked the alderman for his
money.
Mr.. Stewart was frightened, but he
managed to say: II guess you've got
the wrong man. I've got only 10 cents
in my pocket to buy a bowl Of soup"
He had scarcely gotten the words
out of his mouth when there was the
sound as of someone coming down the
Kneer block stairs and the negro at
this took fright and managed to make
his escape.
Mr.. Stewart notified the police
shortly after and search was made
for the coon, but he could not be To-
Gated.

Not Restraining Trade

st. Paul, Aug. 5.-The answer of the
International Harvester Co., to the
bill filed by the United States under
the Sherman antitrust law was filed
in the United States district court,
at st. Paul, today.
The answer denies specifically, all
charges OF restraint Of trade, monopoly
and unfair business practices 1t al
Ieges that prior to the formation of
the company in 1902, the harvester
business had been conducted in a
wasteful manner, detrimental alike to
manufa cturers, retail dealers and con-
sumers, that only the two largest
manufacturers had profitable busi-
nesses, while the business OF others
was decreasing and becoming hazard
Gus and Improbable. The international
Harvester Co.. it is stated. was not
an unlawful combination, but new
company formed, with ample capital.
In order to secure large economies in
the agricultural implement business,
by producing more cheaply the raw
materials, by enlarging facilities, and
correcting wasteful methods OF dis
tribution, by expanding the foreign
trade and by better organized expert

25 years of age. During his con-
scious moments after his removal 70

incoherent account of the shooting.
His words were:
THEY came toward me around the
school-two men. They wore masks.
They were white men. They hollered

a gun. He held 1t close-right here.
They ran south around the school and
turned east. They were short"
Hanson was found on the cement
sidewalk near the northwest corner
of tho school building and was taken
across the street into the residence Of
A. HoIz. Mrs. Holz Immediately tele-
phoned the police station and asked
for an ambulance. Her excited tones
were difficult to understand by the
officer on duty and by mistake hack

Despite this delay, an ambulance

the shooting occurred.

6S Miles
CLIPPED OFF
COAST ROUTE
G. N. Line Almost Direct From
Fargo to MinOt
Thirty-Three Towns On the
New Line
Few Coast Trains VIII Be Run
Over Old Route

The connection with the Fargo
Surrey cut-off of the Great North
ern and the main line is being made
in Fargo today.
The crew reached the city limits
this noon and entered the city and is
now making the connection. This
completes the long cut-ofr, the most
important piece of raiIroading in the
northwest in years.
The new line cuts sixty eight miles
off the Great Northern mileage be-
tween the twin cities and the coast.
In fact it cuts that much off the mile
age between the twin cities and every
city from Minot west on the Great
Northern main line,
Advantage to Fargo.
There are many direct advantages
to Fargo because of this line. 1t
makes Fargo the undisputed gate city
of the state. The entire northwest
ern section OF North Dakota comes
into direct communication, gives
Fargo jobbers marked advantages over
any other city.
1t is said that few coast trains
will be run over the old route after
the new line has been thoroughly bal
lasted and gets in good running
order.
Following is a complete list of the
towns and mileage of the new line:
