the price situation is also rendered

Laren. the negro wanted there for
shooting a policeman, and who was
held in the city Jail here pending the
arrival of the Burlington officers
with extradition papers.
Will Fight Case.
McLoren refused to accompany the
officers and employed an attorney to
fight his case. On n other occasion
he had proved an alleged alibi at
Minot. and the authorities were un-
able to take him back to Burlington,
and they did not feel that they could
afford the time and expense neces-
sary for another trial of the kind.
Discharged Today.
McLaren appeared before Judge
Miller his morning. and after listen
ing to some sound advice as to the
n of his conduct in the future,
particularly as to carrying guns, he
was discharged.
The judge warned him that there
Vas considerable doubt attached t o
his alleged alibi. and that in the event
he gets into any more trouble he will
be taken back to Iowa sure.

pawned a SAP suit of clothes for the

Gated by the authorities of Cass

he couldn't do something for him in
the way of getting hold of the gun so
he could get his clothes again.

WAS NOT TOUCHED
Dynamite Left Out All Night But
Was Not Stolen.

Fargo, n. D., July 20.--Althoush
the sack of dynamite found in a trac-
ton engine shipped to the Rumely
company of this city was left GU again
in h hope thai someone would steal
1t. it is still in evidence.
h engine stands on the Great
Northern tracks, and it is alleged the
chief of police. who, naturally feels
some of the responsibility as long as
the explosive is within the city limits,
| gave the officer on that beat a bunch
that II he saw anyone approaching tho
engine with the probable intention of
Stealing the sack. he should shut his
eyes n let him get away with b.
Officers Discretion.
This, however. seems to nave been
su~periiuous. for the officer declares
that if he SAW anyone approaching
that engine. he would make rapid
strides in another direction for fear
the fellow might not appreciate the
significance of the contents of the
sack.
Anyway, the dynamite is still hold
ing its own. and Il council of war will
probably be held in the nea future

Can't Shift Burden.
When Chief of Police Con Keefe
saw Special Agent Cook of the Great
Northern walk INTO his office this
morning. Il smile bcamrd across his
countcnance. and before he said Il
word those familiar With the situa-
ton had an idea what had entered
Cons mind.
However, when the chief attempted
to shift the responsibility to the
shoulders of the special agent on the
strength of the argument that the
engine containing the dynamite is on
the Great Northern right-of-way,
there WAS nothing doing.
Cook Ia Hike to st. Paul.
Mr.. Cool cannot see where he has
any business mcddling with dynamite.
and. another thing. he's soir- to
make it II point to get as close to st.
Paul as possible before anybody else
starts meddling with it.
Anyone who van to buy some dy-
Mantle, can get a great bargain by
calling on the chief of police with an
affidavit to the effect that the dyna-
mite is going to be shipped out of the
city for use.
