HUMAN FLY TO
SCALEYAN HORN
Jack Hughes Will Give Ex
hibitiOn

Jack Hughes, human fly, will scale
the Van Horn hotel at o'clock this
evening. ,.,.
Hughes will walk right up the front
Of the building, he says, climbing the
four storystructure without the use
Of ropes or appliances Of any kind.
When he came To Bismarck today
the human fly had newspaper clip
pings of ascents of high buildings
made in many different states. He
has operated in every state in the
union except Washington and Oregon
he said, and he is now on his way to
the Pacific coast where he will dc
stunts for moving pictures.
The highest building he ever
climbed, he said, was the 32-story
Dime Savings bank building in De-
troit, Mich. He reached the top in
an hour and Is minutes having to
pause tro rest at times while clinging
to a cornice.
Scaling buildings is not Hughes
only hair-raising stunt, however. A
newspaper clipping told of para
chute leap from an alrplane which he
makes, Placed in straight ia cket
in a moving automobile, he is caught
by ring bound round his ankles,
lifted into the air several thousand
feet. where, he frees himself, climbs
up a rope to the airplane and makes
the parachute leap.
Hughes is making his way to the
Pacific tr)ast with his wife.
The American Legion, it is announ/
ed, will assist in handling demonstra.
ton and part of the proceeds will e
to that organization.

IN JAMESTOWN
Officials Begin Investigation OF
Matter Which Delayed No.

jamestown. N. D., Sept 10.--A thor
ough investigation of The misplaced
switch which sent N. +. passenger
train No. 3 onto the 2ridgeman-Ru
sell spur here last night will be start
ed Immediately according to a state
ment of a railroad official
That there was practically no dam
age done aside from delaying the
train about an hour late was ascribed
to the fact that practically all pas
senger trains coming d1wn hill into
jamestown are under control of the
engineer.
The engineer Of train No. 9 failed to
notice the open switch in rounding
the curve until it WAS too late to
bring the train to complete stop, al
though the emergency brake was ap-
piled.
The train went little over its
length on the spur. Practically no
shock was sustained Ivy passengers.

HUNTING WILL
BE BEST HERE
IN MANY YEARS
Survey Made BY Secretary OF
State Game and Fish Com
mission Indicates This
INVESTIGATES DUCK STORY
G. NJ. HOgueA Believes Many
Ducks Were Killed BY
. Lead Poisoning

Prospects for prairie chicken an(
grouse hunting in the state this veal
are excellent, according to George NJ
Hogue, Of Steele, secretary of the
, North Dakota Game and rish Com.
mission. '.
Mr. Hogue, writing ;on survey ol
conditions in the state at the reques,
OF The Tribune, says:
"A thorough survey Of the state
shows that there are more prairie
chicken and grouse in the state than
there has been in fifteen years
Ducks are plentiful now in those
localities where there is plenty OF
water but it is hard to say where
4. the good late shooting will be as
weather conditions will have some
thing to do with the northern flight.
VI was down at Napoleon and per-
sonally investigated the dead duck
story and found that it was very
much exaggerated. During the past
few years we have had reports from
the Long Lake country one or two
seasons showing that the ducks were
dying and the game board made a
thorough investigation together with
the federal officials. The Department
Of Agriculture made an analysis of a
good many of these birds and decid-
ed that the cause of this condition was
that the water became so low and
the lake was so full of shot that the
ducks died of lead poisoning.
There are no changes in the laws
covering chicken and duck shooting
other than the change in the hours OF
shooting to conform to the federal
laws which are 80 minutes before
sunrise to actual sunset. The board
has it's men in the field at all times
and wants the cooperation OF all
shooters to the end that we may con-
serve game and thus maintain the
sport for the coming generation"
The hunting season for prairie
chickens is from September 16 to Oc-
tober 16; for ducks, geese and brant,
from September 16 to December /.
The deer season is open from Novem-
ber 81 to November 3U, both dates in
