STATES BUILDING TO CLOSE
North Dakota Exhibition Forced to
End Work Because Of Shortage Of
Funds to Cover Expenses.

Grand PROVISIONING to the fact
that there is lack of funds, the
North Dakota-Panama-Pacific exposi
ton commission decided to close the
F'lickertail building on November Is.
According to word received from w.
E. Holbein, secretary of the comEais-
sion, there are several reasons for not
keeping the building open until De-
cember 4.
The reasons Mr. Holbein gives in
part are:
"The appropriation was too small to
cover the natural expenses of the
building, and, therefore, what has
been done has been done we'll, and it
is policy to quit while the record is
good.
1t also is apparent that November,
at least the last two weeks, will not
show an average attendance.
All of the exhibits must be packed
upon and shipped and this will take
time, and the employees of the building
must get back home to attend to their
affairs before the first of January.
The original appropriation of $780,
900 would have enabled the commits
sion to keep the building open
throughout the exposition, but this
was reduced to $4,000. The commits
sion has made an enviable record,
however, with the money at its dispos-
al.

Given Share Of Estate.

Deadwood.-After a two-day battle
in the county court, Mrs. Edith Harris
was awarded $4,000 claim against
the estate of the late Jack Gray, gen.
eral manager of the Wasp No. 2 Min
ing company, thereby closing an in
terestfng legal battle. Jack Gray was
an early settler in the Black Hills
and died last spring in Los Angeles.
He lived in Terraville, where Mrs.
Harris was for years his housekeeper.
During his career here Gray amassed
a comfortable fortune, practically all
of which he left by will to relatives
in England. Mrs. Harris put in her
claim for years of exacting nursing
and caretaking, during which her re-
muneration had been slight, but the
executors decided to test its legality
and disallowed it. Gray was one of
the best known characters in the Black
Hills, and was for years the acknowl
edged leader of the Republican party
in this section, being county chair
man, former commissioner, and al
ways prominent in the state conven-
lions under the old political regime.

Fall, In Wheat Bin; Dies.

Tyndall.-James Hanlin, 20 years
old, was smothered in a wheat bin
here. The young man was employed
in the farmers elevator in this city
and wheat was being moved from one
bin to another. AS the bin was being
emptied he went to clean it out. In
about five minutes the manager of the
elevator noticed the grain had stopped
running and put his hand up the spout
to clean it out and to his horror got
hold of young Hanlin's foot. He rush.
ed upstairs and into the bin, but could
see nothing of him, and then gave
the alarm. The bin was broken into
from the bottom and Hanlin removed,
but life was extinct. The young man
had been in the habit of doing this
work before and the suction Of the
wheat was not great, How he hap
pened to be overcome is not known,
but the theory is that he must have
fallen in some way and then was
caught in the flow of the grain towards
the outlet spout.

Two Fires Near Hayti.

Hayti.-George Trumm, a farmer
living some miles from town, built a
small fire to warm up oil in a now
ing machine he was operating. The
wind was blowing gale and the fire
soon got beyond his control. The fire
swept over a wide extent Of country
before it could be controlled, burning
seven stacks of hay and threatening
other property. Another prairie fire
was started by South Dakota Cen
trail railway locomotive while it was
switching in the Hayti yards. Sparks
from the locomotive set fire to a field
of weeds, and in few minutes the
fire was sweeping over the prairie at
race-horse speed. Had Hayti been in
the pathway Of the fire the town would
have been threatened, but the wind
CHANGED to be in another direction and
carried the fire toward the Wilson
farm. The townspeople and farmers
turned out in large numbers and
fought the fire. After an hours hard
work it was extinguished before much
damage had been done.

prlxeless Auto Acts Up.


Sioux Falls.-A peculiar automobile
accident took place at the corner Of
Eleventh street and Phillips avenue
A party drove their car along side
the Boyce-Greeley building and left
it, evidently without putting on the
brake. A few minutes afterwards,
while parties in the employ of the city
were at work removing the settings
from the manhole at that intersec-
tion they were surprised to observe
the driveless' car coming down on
them. The man on the surface, who
was running the MINDLESS, drawing up
the accumulation, jumped out of the
way, but he did not have time to re-
move the windlass, which was toppled
over and mashed by the automobile.
The man in the manhole started to
come to the surface to ascertain the
cause of the trouble and barely had
time to duck "below bridge" before
the automobile passed over his head
The machine turned and made most
successful curve, which wound up by
the car going across the sidewalk and
into an excavation which had been
made on the corner of the intersec-
ton.

INTERESTING NEWS OF STATE
North Dakota Events Of Past Few

Convenience Of Our
Readers,

misunderstanding Holbein of the
North Dakota State Commission at
the Exposition, San Francisco, has
written Commissioner of Agriculture
Flint to the effect that the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and Milwaukee
railways will soon post a rate of 75c
per hundred on potatoes from all
points in North Dakota to San Fran
cisco. though it may be month or
more before the rate becomes effective.
The reason for this reduction from the
old rate of 921zc is that the potato
crop on the Pacific coast is very poor,
or rather that the potatoes are badly
rotted. If tits rate is placed in eff
feet It should make a good western
market for North Dakota.

GRAIN is REPORTED SECURE
Enormous Crop In North Dakota
saved-Marketing Proceed
ing Rapidly.

Grand Forks-Reports from all Sec
lions of the state show that the grain
crop has been saved. There are few
districts in the west end that have
not been entirely cleaned up, but there
appears to be sufficient labor to take
care of the grain. It will require from
10 days to two weeks in some districts
to care for the last Of the grain.
With the tail end of the threshing
season attained, and with the central
and western section of the state giving
its whole attention to blowing, fears
that comparatively little ground would
be turned over this fall have been dis
sipated.
Grain marketing is proceeding more
rapidly than during the earlier part Of
the season. However, the majority Of
farmers are not giving much attention
to marketing as yet, but are devoting
most of their attention to blowing and
other operations.
Up to the present the railroads have
been able to handle the added traffic
without serious difficulty.
