|RSA GRUNTED, BUT
 THAT WAS ENOUGH Another Bohemian Champ in Another Frost Match.
 Everybody Suffers

If wrestling promoters in Birmingham would keep off the mat in this city the Rohemians they would confer an inestlm- able favor on patrons of the sport in this city. A fairly respectable crowd sat through another Bohemian exhibition at the Jefferson last night and it was enough to give anybody the willies.
 This meeting between Ivan Linow, "the wild Russian Cossack,' and Anton Irsa, the Bohemian champion-the third that has been inflicted upon the unsuspecting public of Birmingham-was worse than the LeMarin- Roller match of some weeks ago which, goodness knows, smelled to heaven.
 Two big mountains of flesh got on the mat and sweated and puffed for 60 min utes while the crowd suffered. Neither man gave any indication that he knew anything about scientific wrestling and one of them, the Bohemian, was content to lie on the mat and grunt, oblivious alike of misses and ironic cheers.
 It took Linow nearly an hour to get a hold on the fat man and then he gave up on the instant without effort to break the hold. which was on the toe. The sec ond fall came in like manner only the Russian was a little less cautious.
 Irsa, in the hour he was on the mat. did not have his hands on Lnow half dozen times. Linow was willing enough, but woefully ignorant of the mat game. It is reported that he threw Tommy Draak If he did-well, that's one of the reasons and the match last night is an- : other why wrestling ought to be stopped in Birmingham. It's gone far enough.

Church
is Damaged by Fire

jamestown, Jan. 16.-The handsome
new Baptist church was seriously dam
aged by fire early Saturday morning
when fire caught from the furnace
room. The building was badly scorch-
ed and burned.
Rev. Gilmore lost most Of his pri-
vate library in the study, while other
damage was done to the study and the
room adjoining used for the storage of
church and Sunday school books.
The fire gained considerable head
way in the attic in the east end of the
building and holes were cut in the
roof to get lines of hose directly upon
the flames.
The church was used during the
week for meetings and Janitor Wheel
er went to the church as usual to fire
up. He built hot fire and then went
into the parsonage. While in there it
is believed the furnace communicated
the fire to the building or an electric
wire was detected for when Col. Marks
across the street, turned in the fire
alarm the flames were showing
through the roof. Holes were cut
through and the fire eventually drown
ed out, but not before much damage
was done to the building and contents
by water. The auditorium was dam
aged by water to an extent that can
not now be determined.
Help was at hand and the piano and
other furniture and equipment move
able was removed from the building,
as we'll as most of the furniture from
the parsonage, situated but few feet
from the burning church. The seats
in the church auditorium were fasten.
ed to the floor and they could not be
removed and may be damaged by
water.
Authorities estimate the damage at
$4,000 and considerable time will be
necessary to make all repairs. Full
insurance was carried.
Damage to the basement is light
compared to the other portions of the
building.

According to the North Dakota law
holders of grain storage tickets ma!
receive delivery at any grain terminal
or may demand return Of the actua
grain. In the later case elevator com
panies must ship in the grain for deli
very if it is not in the warehouse, says
the railroad commission.
In the past it has been the practice
in many instances, for the railway
companies to charge the cost of ex
tending industry tracks to elevator
, sites granted after the original side
, track has been built. The railroad
, commission holds that it is duty Of
a railway company to furnish trackage
of it's own sufficient to take care of its
traffic and the industries contributing
thereto, and that it would be manifest.
ly unfair to permit company to furn.
ish trackage free to the elevators on
the siding built at an earlier date and
to require new elevator company to
pay for the extension of the industry
track to be used in caring for general
traffic. This ruling is based upon the
law of 1890, chapter 1S9, section 8,
which requires every railway to furn-
ish reasonably sidetrack facilities" for
elevators and warehouses upon it's
right of way. In several instances
the railroad commission has secured
refund of sums paid for such industry
track extensions.
The railroad commission has held
that buying grain, freight off, is not
illegal, unless it can be proved it has
been done to put competitor out of
business.
In the matter of car distribution the
railroad commission rules that empty
cars must be delivered to elevators
and others according to the amount of
grain offered for shipment in good
faith. In other words, if one elevator
has five times as much grain to offer
for shipment on certain day as an
other elevator, it is entitled to five
times as many cars as the other house,
and in general practice of apportioning
the cars equally among the various
houses, regardless of the amount of
grain each of them has to ship, does
not come within the commissions in
depreciation of the law.

Endorses Burke for Senator,
and Platou for Governor

Mandan, Jan. 18.-As evidence OF
claims that party lines will cut no fig
ure, the Non.Partisan League of North
Dakota, composed of a membership OF
thousands of farmers, will back a dem,
ocrat and a republican for governor.
Such is the statement made today by
one of the non-partisan leaders.
United States Treasurer John Burke,
for six years governor of North Dako-
ia, is the choice of the non-partisans
against Hanna, McCumber and others
for United States senator.
Mayor Platou of Valley City, repub'
lican, and prominent in Barnes county
affairs, who is a candidate for governor
will also receive the non-partisan back
ing.
While standpatters, progressives and
the democrats are inclined to scott at
the claims that the non-partisan fac
ton will cut much ice in the coming
tlcCllOIlS lIVeSllSdllOu IcNcdlCu Oil
unusual state of affairs. In this Sec
ton Of the state membership petitions
have been in circulation for several
weeks and have been generously sign
ed. In one commissioners district it is
an absolute fact that eighty per cent
of the farmers have aligned themselves
with the n-partisans.
Changers claim that the workers are
doing everything possible to secure the
North Dakota State Grange endorse
ment and while that organization has
not given any official recognition, mem
bers of the grange are generally lined
up.
According to the leader interviewed,
and whose name is withheld for OBJ
vious reasons, the non-partisan league
will not attempt to put slate into the
field but will choose a slate from the
candidates offered by other parties.
