Conductor Is
Victim of HObOeS

Frank Mcconnell, conductor on the
S. P. line, was assaulted by hoboes
this morning at Clauson and mauled
quite badly. They were attempting
to Jump on the freight and Mcconnell
jumped off and told them not to get
on, whereupon they attacked him, and
by means of rocks and fists injured
him badly. He received a large cut
over the eyes, both of which were
blacked, and a bruised mouth. He
was taken to Dunsmuir for medical
attention. Hoboes are so numerous
along the line that on the Siskiyous
seven California state police are sta
toned to keep the track clear of the
ruffians Most of them exhibit an
unusually savage nature and are be-
coming dangerous for the trainmen.

Fire Department Subdues the Flames After
Hard Fight...Believed to Be of An
lncendiary Origin.
DAMAGE AMOUNTS TO ABOUT $1,000

Fire, believed by Officials Of the fire
department, to be Of incendiary origin,
did more than $4,000 worth of damage
to the Carnegie library of this
city, at 2 o'clock this morning. Owing
to the fact that it was an inside fire,
and that there was no one in the
building, it was not discovered until
it. had gained great headwaV, and
only hard work on the part of the
fire department put it under control.
The fire apparently started at the
foot OF the stairs leading from the
main room Of the library into the
basement, and when it was discover
ed, had gained such headway that the
stairway to the tower of the building
was a mass Of flames.
That the books on the main floor
Of the building were injured only to
a very slight extent is a tribute to
the care of the firemen, and the loss
on this item will be very small.
Efforts to ascertain the cause of
the blaze have so far been fruitless,
although a thorough investigation is
being made That it would have been
practically impossible for it to have

SAY, DID YOU EVER MEET

A SILENT MEMBER IN A BIG OR
GANlZATION WHOM THE RE.
PORTER NEVER MENTIONS.

Behind the scenes of every profess
sion and business is a region as in
teresting as that pertaining to the
drama. In the dramatic world scene
shifters, property men and stage di-
rcctors are never seen; yet unless
their duties are we'll and faithfully
performed the play is failur'
Behind the scenes of the Minneapo-
lis Symphony orchestra, which is to
appear mere soon in a concert at the
Normal School, June 3, is modest
man, who performs his ardous and
necessary task absolutely unknown to
the audience. This is Ademour M.
Hoskins, librarian, who has full charge
of the orchestra's collection of scores
which are value dat something like
$4,000. Before every concert, Mr..
'Hoskins is responsible for the placing,
in proper order, upon every musicians
desk, about 500 seperate pieces of
music, which he also must collect and
return to their proper places at the
dlose of the concert. While the Or
chestra is on tour he has the added
responsibility Of packing and unpack-
ing the music and seeing that the
music trunk is ready for tn ebaggage
man in time to have it put on board
the orchestra's special train before
it leaves for the next town. When
one learns that during his eight years
as librarian Mr.. Hoskins has never
lost one single sheet of music one
realizes the competence of this Sc
cluded, but important member of the
organization.

Desirable Location On West
Side of City to Be Used
By School for Agricul-
tural Purposes. "a"

Through one of the recent local real
estate transactions, the State Normal
school here became the ppssessor of
that tract Of la1sd'conslsL4As OF 80
acres west of and bordering on the
Sheyenne river, known as the Tracy
flats. This tract will be turned into a
model farm for experimental purposes
in connection with the work of the
department of agriculture at the
school, and the vegetable produce will
be used at the dormitories.
According to present plans a model
barn will be built to accommodate the
stock and a residence is to be provid-
ed for the use of the superintendent
of buildings and grounds. The plat has
been rented by the school for the past
two or three seasons for agricultural
purposes and is very desirably located.

Said To Be Unique in World
of the Sawdust Ring. A.
Splendid Aggregation

General Contracting Agent Murray
A. Pennock of the AL. G. Barnes Wild
Animal circus, is here today arrang-
ing for the appearance Of the Barnes
show in Valley City on Friday, June
5.
wherein does the wild animal cir
Gus differ from the old-time regula-
ton circus?" was saked.
"The Barnes circus is different be.
cause the entire entertainment Offer
ed is given by trained animals-large-
ly wild animals" replied Mr.. Pennock.
al. G. Barnes, the wild animal
training wizard and proprietor of the
Barnes shows, was the originator Of
the wild animal circus, launching the
innovation nine years ago. That the
new amusement idea met with approx.
al from the public is attested by the
fact his circus now ranks as the larg-
est animal show in the world"
For IS years, Mr.. Barnes has been
a trainer of wild animals, and early
in his career decided that the public
would welcome an exclusive clean,
wholesome entertainment given by
educated animals, and to that purpose
he bent his efforts. Every one of the
600 acting animals now with this great
show, has been trained under mis- per-
sonal upervision-the greatest num-
ber ever assembled in one collection"
"A many sided man is Mr.. Barnes.
He fondles the lions, tigers and bears
and they answer his call as that of
a friend. When they become unruly
or "go bad," Barnes becomes the
trainer and reduces the beasts to a
state of tractibility again."

ed that it was the reflection Of ~

across the street, and did not stop To-
investigate.

The home team seemed nervous and
did not settle down to their usual
pace until the game was we'll along.
Thurston was effective throughout
the game, striking out ten men and
yet being found for six safe hits.
Ellendale's pitcher succeeded in fan
ming four men, but until the last
round kept the Normal boys popping
The ball up for easy outs or rolling
1t on the ground at their feet. Fin
ally man got on first base, the next
was passed on balls, then Thurstoa
nit a safe one to center field, scoring
two men and starting things for Val

ters nit the ball on the nose and the.
score was tied with no outs and =
man on third. Here Glendale pro-
tested that the game should be call
ed on account of darkness, though Wo.
are still unable to understand why
