DULL
MARKET DAY
Liverpool Cables Closed ID
Higher to Ii Lower

Minneapolis. Sept. 4~.-Liverpool
acbles closed Ia higher to Ia lower
than yesterday. More rain was re-
ported in the spring wheat and this
with the steadeir Liverpool
market had a frming influence
on prices here at the start. The mar
ket ruled rather dull and without
any special feature through the ses-
sion. Some complaints Of damage
by the excessive moisture were re-
ceived. The receipts in Minneapolis
today were heavy. 49S cars compared
with 261 cars last year, Duluth re-
ceipts were also liberal. the total
to ISL cars . In Winnipeg,
however. receipts are running rather
light as not much threshing has been
up there. only 81 cara
compared with 50 cars a year ago..
The worlds visible supply showed
a decrease of 1.566.000 bushels for
the past week. The forecast was for
weather for the spring
wheat country. Chicago receipts OF
wheat today were 576 cars against
274 a year ago.

ANOTHER ROAD
FOR THIS STATE
Minneapolis, St. Louis and
Canadian Railway May
Reach Jamestown.

Esmond. n. D., Sept. 4-Now that
the Fargo-Minot line of the Great
Northern has been completed and
opened for traffic, and the Drake
Fordville line of the 500 is laid with
steel. except about ten miles Thereon
in Benson county, which will be I'm
ished inside of "A few days and the
line made ready for traffic inside OF
a month, the people of Pierce and
Benson counties are turning their at
tention towards the rumors that the
Minneapolis. st. Louis and Canadian
railroad will be the neX to build into
this part OF the state.
1t seems to be definitely deter
mined from letters received by in
quiring commercial clubs that the St.
Louis road will build from Water
presumably Moose Jaw, and that II
will pass through Jamestown. and.
further, that it will pass somewhere
between Minot and Devils Lake. but
not through either Of those places.
and that Pierce county will be one
of the counties benefited by the new
road.
The 500 and the Great Northern
both cross Pierce county Its en-
tire width from east to west. and Il
third new railroad crossing the major
portion OF the county from north to
south would surely work wonderful
results in the development of the coun-
tY. And while 1t is not probable that
the Esmond branch of the Northern
Pacific will be extended this year,
Its ultimate extension to Towner is
only a matter of a brief time. That
would make four new railroads
through southern Pierce county.
The Rugby Commercial club has
taken up the matter of the coming
OF the st. Louis road and has named
W delegates to interview the officials
Of the railroad company, to try to in
duce them to build their line through
Rugby. 1nasmuch as Esmond is right
on the direct line between Jamestown
and Rugby. it car hardly help but
be on or near the line If it runs
through Rugby, or even if it runs. as
some predict. between Rugby and
Towner. Developments will be
watched with interest in the central
and eastern parts Of the state. which
are in need of more north and south
lines of railroad.

Michigan National
Guard at the Pen To
Prevent Outbreak

Jackson. Mich. Sept. s.-Five
companies Of the Michigan National
Guard with rifles loaded to kill,
camped tonight within and outside
the walls Of the state penitentiary.
The convicts who the authorities al
legged were responsible for today's
the worst in the
history of the institution-are lock-
ed up in the heart of the prison, many
Of them being chained to their cells.
Every convict was in custody to-
night and not a single prisoner was
badly hurt. according to the state
of Warden Nathan Simpson. He
that during the riot, n
convict. a trusty, was wounded in the
as the result of a misunder-
standing but promptly denied reports
that W. men were seriously hurt and
that three had escaped.
Fifty men lodged in the "bull
pen" have been held responsible for
the riot which lasted over an hour.
Simpson declared after the trouble
that he in common with other prison
officials considered the pen impreg-
nable but it failed when pitted
against the ingenuity and reckless
ness of the convicted safe blowers.

ALFALFA FOOT G

on the farm of II. c. Upton twenty
five miles northeast Of Minot.
M. Upton. who came to North Da-
kota from northeastern Kansas. has
had considerable experience in alf-
alta. He says that In the most fav-
ored districts Of Kansas he never saw
alfalfa grow better than it does In
North Dakota. and that in his opin-
Ion, from what he has observed In

alta as North Dakota can. is worth

to 5000 an acre. when it was demon
strated that alfalfa would grow WE'LL

In Kansas now where the land is worth

EXPECT RUSH
As q Result Northern Pacific Has Pu
on Two T'rainmasterx.

AS q Result Northern Pacific Has Put
on Two Trainmasters.
Fargo. N. d., Sept. 4.-By putting
two extra trainmasters on the Da.
kota division. the Northern Pacific
expects to assist in looking after the
rush of freight that is certain to come
IN the near future, and much OF
which has already started.
Each year when the Northern Pa.
chic feels that there is going to be a
much larger rush than usual, an ex-
ira trainmaster is appointed, but this
year h company has doubled up and
has named two.
William Melchoir, the veteran pas
senger conductor. who has been run
ming on the Dakota division between
JameStown and Fargo and the
branches for the past fifteen years
or more. has been named as n of
them. and the other is Patrick II,
Coleman, who has been in the depart
ment OF transportation for some years
and who is one of the Oldest employees
OF n company, having been agent
at Mapleton as far back as 1885.
The road officials are confident of
being able to handle everything that
Is consigned to the road out of North
Dakota In good time.
An inquiry at the Great Northern
develops the fact that this road. too.
Is getting ready to handle a very
large amount Of freight during the
.all n early winter months. and tina:
the rush has already started.

GUARD CAUGHT
HORSE THIEF
Trail Escaped Convicts when
He Heard About Smith
Hurrying from State.

Bismarck, n. D.. Sept. Al. ].
Smith. who is wanted at Mandan on
the charge of horse stealing. was ar
rested by Roy Riggs, a guard of the
state penitentiary, nea Mowbridge.
S. D., after a thirty-six hour chase
through the northern part OF South
Dakota. Smith was brought to Her
riott. S. D., where he vas held by the
authorities until the arriva of Sher-
ifs Olson and Barnes. who returned
to Mandan this afternoon with their
prisoner.
Riggs has been searching in the
southern part of North Dakota ana
the northern part of South Dakota
for the W convicts who escaped
from the state institution last week.
During the long chase Riggs thought
convicts and did not discover his
mistake until he had put Smith under
arrest. Smith told so many compli-
Gated stories about his cross country
run that Riggs thought it would be
best to hold him until an investiga-
ton could be made. Smith told Riggs
about hiring a saddle horse at Man.
dan and upon their arrival at Mound
City, S. D.. Riggs telephoned the au-
thorities at Mandan who ordered him
to hold Smith until their arrival.
The authorities at Mound City refus-
ed to hold Smith in custody there
for Riggs took his man to Herriott,
S. D.. where he was held until the
arrival of the officers.
Riggs first learned of Smith beat
ing it" across the country at a lively
clip when he reached Stanton and at
once started in pursuit. The descrip-
ton that the residents Of Stanton
gave him favored one of the escaped
%convicts. Riggs followed the trail for
several miles n lost it once. He
recovered the trail and followed it
until he put him under arrest. Smith
had entered farm house on his
cross country run and secured ONE
thing to eat and also stole a razor.
He was e~ndeavoring to secure a rifle
when discovered, but made his get
away before the authorities could ar
rive.
Smith undoubtedly rode day and
night as the horse was only taken
from the barn Friday afternoon. He
went to the barn and hired the horse
telling the proprietor that he wanted
to go to Oliver county. He was in
Bismarck Friday night but was not
detected by the officers. If Smith
would have been wise enough he
could have talked his freedom from
Riggs, as Riggs was unaware of the
horse theft until he had communicate
e dwith the authorities at Mandan.
Sheriffs Barnes and Olson will arrive
in Mandan with their prisoner and
he will be arraigned In a few days.

ATTEMPT FAILED

tempt at suicide was frustrated by
Sheriff Whaley when Carl Anderson,
alleged horse thief. took a strap from
his cot, tied it about his neck and tried
to hang himself in his cell at the coun-
ty Jail.
Anderson. who has a reputation of
losing his mind whenever locked up,
has been acting in a very peculiar
n ever since additional evidence
as to his past record was obtained a
week ago, and the officers have been
observing him closely. 1t was due to
the sheriff's watchfulness that he fail
ed to praceed very far with his hang
ing stunt, and the officers are eyercis-
ing great care to see that he does no
injury to himself. for mental incapaci-
ty is all assumed.
