Huge Skeleton Found

Scientists from Harvard and

from Orr's Land, Me-, to veiw
the petrified skeleton of a man.
moth prehistoric mammal which
was discovered few days ago
on the farm of Theodore Billiard,
a nephew of President-emeritus
Eliot of Harvard college. The
skeleton was discovered by Mr..
Billiard while he was digging
we'll. 1t was found nearly intact
in what seemed to be a cave
about fifteen feet underground.
Two horses were needed to pull
what is believed to be half of the
mammals skull from the we'll.
This alone weighs 500 pounds
and measures six feet long and
three feet high. The remaining
pieces of the skeleton are still in
ground, One piece was so huge
that four men were unable to
move it.
Under instructions from Har-

Fairy Circles In Ireland.

In rural Ireland popular tradi-
ton is still strongly opposed to the
cultivation of the land within the
peculiar earthen circles OF "raths'
which are found in every part of
the country and from which many
places take their names. The land
inside the fairy circles is held al
most as sacred as a cemetery.
Though rarely titled, it is frequent
ly used for pasture. Whether it is
the fear of the fairies or some other
cause which gives rise to the tradi-
ton, the tradition remains and in
some districts is more binding than
the law of England.

TURKEY THROWS
Up THE SPONGE
Unreserved1y Places Herself
in Hands of Powers to
Conclude Peace.

London. March Turkey today
unreservedly placed herself in tho
hands of the European powers. re-
questing them to conclude peace as
advantageously as possible for her.
This action vas not unexpected, as
Turkey has suffered heavy losses dur
ing the past two weeks. A few days
ago It was announced that she had
asked Russia to bring about a peace
conference. saying that she was ready
to end the war on cecessation-of.
Adrianople basis.
Since then her troops have engaged
in several encounters, each one with
disastrous results. Word was received
today from Athens telling of a conflict
between a detachment Of 300 Turkish
in%fantrymen and a body Of Greek
troops near Janina. They fought for
SIX hours, and Turkey surrendered
after liz men hod been killed. in
Guiding eight officers.
Preliminary steps for calling Il
peace conference will be made at once.
An armistice probably will be immedi-
ately signed. and delegates from the
Balkans and Turkey will get together
just as soon as possible. In the face
OF Turkeys attitude for peace at any
cost there is no doubt that Greece
will take a hand in the deliberations.

FIND SMALL III
Man Who Died in Poor Farm Left
Nearly $500 in His Shack.

Sussex, Wis. March 1.-Nearly
$500 in gold and paper money was
found today in the dilapidated shack
of Carl Schultz. 83, who died Feb
ruary % at the Waukesha county poor
farm.
Schultz was removed from his hut,
in which vermin and debris of all
kinds had collected. and taken to the
poor farm on complaint Of neighbors.
He was i'll and unable to care for
himself. When officials arrived he
said he was without means and re.
fused to hire an attendant. He was
then taken in charge. but constant
worry over his money, which was left
in the hut, resulted in his death.
Schultz denied having any money.
but ever since his removal a guard
has watched yer the shack because
people in this section we're sure he
was wealthy. Charles Malsch, the ad-
min~istrator. made a search of the
premises and found money hidden in
every conceivable place about the hut.
One tin pail contained more than
$500. while currency was found hid
den in the stope pipe, mattress.
closets and $500 was taken from q
dog kennel which was inside the hut.
The nan had no living relatives in
America, but it Is said a sister lives
in Germany. Unless she can be To-
Gated, the money will revert to the
state.

BIG DECREASE IN FIRE LOSS
Report of Chief Runge Shows noss for
Year to Have Totaled But S..
l4O.44-NO Big Fires,

A remarkable decrease in the
amount Of loss from fires within the
city during the past year as compared
with the preceding year IL shown in
the annual report Of A. H. Runge,
chief Of the fire department, just COM
pleted. The total loss for the period
from March I. 1912, to February Is.
1913. was but $5,140.44. This amount
was divided as follows: Loss Of build
; 7sss.ii7% :s''so's7; loss o" contents 81
While this loss is plainly a remark.
ably low n for a city Of the size OF
Grand Forks. a comparison with the
loss for the year ending February 20.
1912, is striking. The loss for that
period totaled 3%62.671.04. This loss
was divided as follows: Loss on
buildings. $%29.601.52: loss on contents.
333.O69.52.
There was also a big decrease in the
number OF calls and in the value OF
the property affected by the fires.
There were 81 calls during the past
The value Of the property involved In
the fires last year was $146 $500. while
the value of the property involved in
the ires Of the veal previous was
1861. 900. The amount Of insurance
carried on the property involved in the
fires OF the year covered by the report
was $lOl.9 900. $76.660 being carried on
tho buildings and $26.250 on the con-
tents. The insurance carried on the
property involved in fires during the
year 19ll.19i2 was $46O,417. $780,
262 being carried on the buildings and
S22s,165 on tho contents.
Inspection is Cause.
That tho cause for the remarkable
decrease in the number and extent OF
fires during the past year Is due to
the regular inspection of buildings in
the statement Of Chief Runge. This
inspection has becn carried on under
the direction Of a resolution passed by
the city council.

Farmer TRUST IS
FAVORED BY ONE
Wheatland Man Would Use
it as Club Over "Big
Business"

Minneapolis. March 1.-Organiza-
ton of the farmers of the northwes.
so that they could adopt the methods
of what he termed big business" and
get for their grain what they wanted
and not what was offered, vas favored
by Carl Rakow, a farmer from Wheat.
land, n. D., who testified before the
house grain trade investigating com.
mittee.
Mr.. Rakow said that the 1nterna-
tional Harvester company fix a price
of $3.50 on binders, which remained
stationary throughout the year, whetl,-
er there was a market for the ma
chine or not. He wanted the farmers
to organize and sell their grain at a
fixed price among them, notwithstand-
ing the demand for their product.
IF the big business interests charge
us stin prices for what We buy, why
souldn't we charge big prices for what
we sell?" said MI. Rakow. cit is the
only protection We have. II we abol-
ished the chambers of commerce, the
elevators. and actually controlled our
own wheat the farmers would get
what is coming to them"
Mr.. Rakow illustrated his point by
his " experience last year. He need
ed new binders. He went to town and
q price of $3.50 was quoted him. All
dealers quoted the same price. He
went home and decided to fix up his
WI machines and use them for an
other year. Then he said the dealer
had to store his binders for another
year.
But" he added. 1T was able to re-
pair my binders. The people, how
ever. can't repair their stomachs.
They have to have bread to eat, and
they would be compelled to buy our
produce"
He said that farmers through North
Dakota especially agreed with his the.
DRY. and they were being walked up to
the point where they would some day
perfect an organization.
The farmer himself is responsible
for his condition today" continued
MI. Rakow. HE has not made SUI.
acient investigation and study Of the
grain industry to know how to heir
himself. I am telling them how to dc
