CAUGHT In ACT OF
RODBlNG {. n. CARS

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 7.-Caught
red-handed in the act of burglarizing
Great Northern merchandise cars
whose seals had been forcibly broken,
Ed Mcnamara, aged IS, was arrested by
the police, later duplicating Lloyd Nc
Laren, aged 49, and Charles Witven-
bauch, aged 81. as accessories in the
crime.
Cars entered were part of train No.
Alb, and had been switched to side
track while the engine crew. were
making up the train.
The burglary was first discovered
when Conductor Cassidy saw two of
the young men jump from one of the
cars and disappear in the darkness, and
Fastening to the scene captured Nc
Namara just as he was about to make
his getaway. The lad broke down and
admitted the names of his partners,
who were arrested shortly afterward.
All were lodged in the city Jail.
Boxes of wearing apparel, soap,
shoes, carton of cigars, and miscel-
laneous articles constituted the loot, a
part of which was found near the cars
entered. When examined by the police,
the lads admitted their guilt, directing
the police to Sorlie's wood yard, where
some of the goods had been hidden.
The lads were arraigned in Judge
Phil McLoughlin's court charged with
burglary in the third degree on a war
rant issued by States Atty. T. b. Elton,
in which Hans Ellingson, Great North
ern special agent, was complainant.
They waived examination and will be
brought before Judge G. NJ. Cooley, of
the district court to be sentenced.

g. FORKS PROTESTS

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. IA com
mittee of Grand Forks citizens will be
selected by Mayor James A. Dinnie to
represent Grand Forks city at the leg
islative session at Bismsrck. in pro-
of the revised code, 1915, concerning
bridges over navigable streams, as en-
bodied in house, bill No. 1913 recently
introduced by Rep. Fay A. Harding. Of
Braddock. rm r..
Under the terms of section s013.
Grand Forks IL entitled to the expendi-
ture in support of the DeMers avenue
and Minnesota avenue bridges of all
tax moneys for bridge purpose raised
within the county of Grand Forks. An
important source OF income which also
went in support OF the two bridges
was lost in 1915 when the Legislature
repealed section 3012, relating to the
expenditure Of road moneys. The stu
alton Is recognized in Grand Forks as
being Of q serious nature, as the repeal
Of the remaining section, hampering
the city's finances, would in effect be
paramount to a double taxation, mas
much as the city, while still paying the
tax, would be prevented in using It for
city purposes.

RAILROAD
TIEUP IS
SERIOUS
State Railroad Commission
Has Asked the Roads
for Information
RAILROADS ARE HELPLESS
Companies Doing Every
thing Possible to Alleviate
Unusual Condition

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 1.-THE rail
blockade is the worst in the history of
North Dakota" Sec. w. F. Cushing of
the North Dakota railroad commission
announced. The Great Northern does
not appear to be affected so seriously,
but for the last two days not branch
line train has been operated on the
Northern Pacific and the 500 line, and
with this high wind driving the snow
into the cuts. the tie-up may continue
tomorrow.
The Northern Pacific" said Mr..
Cushing, has not attempted to move
a freight train for three days. Every
ounce Of motive power has been en-
ployed to getting passenger trains
through. We came in on No. last
evening with three passenger trains
behind us, and we met as many more
headed east.
Complain for Mail.
mot a single complaint received to
date indicates a coal shortage" con-
tinued Mr.. Cushing "We have, how
ever, received complaints because mail
was delayed"
A fortunate" wreck occurred near
Bloom yesterday, when Northern
Pacific No. 1876, the Leeds train, left
the rails. The engine piled onto its
side, spilling the crew into the soft
snow: the tender stood up on end and
emptied its coal cargo into the cab,
several cars were derailed, and not a
soul was hurt.
Asks for Information.
The state rail board yesterday wired
all operating officials in North Dakota
for advice on the freight blockade.
Replies indicate that the companies
are doing everything possible. With
the cuts piled high with hard packed
snow, only rotary plows can cope with
the situation, and the Northern Pacific
Leeds branch and the 500 Cakes
branch are expected to be opened
through this means today.
