0. N. BRIDGE WAS BURNED]
1
fbcat Northern Bridge Was Destroyed Be
tween Minot and Devils Lake.
v
-Sunday afternoon local G. N. officials
were advised that owing to the destruc
tion of a bridge on the Dakota division,
presumably at a point between Leeds
and Minot, the cast and west bound fly
ers would make a detour and run to
and from Fargo via Jamestown and
Carrington on the N. P. and via the
latter point on the Soo to Minot. Train
No. 1 arrived at the G. N. depot here
011 time., but it was delayed at the N. P.
depot here upwards of an hour, as the
G. N. engine was out of order and one
from the N. P. had to be ordered to pull
the train until a G. N. engine could be
reached. Train No. 2 arrived at Fargo
about 2 o'clock this morning and was
transferred to the G. N. tracks at Moor
head. Conductor Curran of the N. P.
acted as pilot for the trains, Fargo to
Jamestown and return. Ticket Agent
May says that they were using their
own rails for all trains today, but the
cast bound flyer was reported about
twelve hours late which should bring
the train into Fargo about 3 o'clock to
morrow morning.
With all the trains over one track
yesterday the Northern Pacific station
looked like a union depot.

SWEEPING REDUCTIONS NOW
TREMENDOUS BARGAIN BAZAAR IU\?
N Y a few days remain before Jan.
ist, 1904, and hundreds of articles of a
broadly Holiday character here are still
unsold, due, in many cases, to the slower
selling of the finer and costlier things.
To make sure of absolutely clean sweep of both
the low-priced and the fine goods, we begin today
the very unusual course of making reductions be
fore the new year. Our stocks are much greater
and tar finer this year, and we prefer to give our
patrons the benefit of Five Days' Carnival rather
than risk having any goods left over.

to be wondered that he was substan
tially remembered at Christmas. Mr
Stevenson was made the recipient
from the N. P. employes at Mandan
of a fine fur-lined overcoat, a pair of
shoes and a gold watch and chain

ents.
TO SPEND CHRISTMAS,
Tlie I?. P. shops at Bfainerd closed
down last Wednesday to give the em
ployes a good opportunity of enjoying
the Christmas season and the order
stated that work would be resumed
this morning as usual.
SCALPERS DEFEATED.
The troubles with the St. Louis
scalpers are at an end, and the rail
ways of the west will grant that city
the special rates for the Lousiana Pur
chase exposition that were requested
and without which the big world's fair
would hardly be successful. The Mis
souri supreme court has denied the
scalpers' writ and the injunction
against them, secured last summer
holds good and will remain in force for
the period of the exposition.
The railways late in the sumijier de
clared that they would make no special
concessions for the fair unless the city
saw to it that the brokers and scalpers
were not allowed to operate. A severe
fight was precipitated, which gradually
involved the leading business and finan
cial interests, and then became a mat
ter for the courts to decide. The legal
battle was equally keen, but results in
•a victory for the city and the various
lines. Arrangements are now being
made which will enable the exposition
to advertise railway rates to St. Louis
quite as favorable as those granted
Chicago during the Colombian exposi
tion.il fi
I NO RETURN PASSES.
Railroad agents are receiving circu
lars sent out by the different railroads
covering this section, to the effect that
on and after January 1, the ironclad
agreement entered into several months
ago in Chicago by the traffic managers
of the roads, to furnish no transporta
tion to live stock shippers, will beconic
effective. Stockmen will be furnished
with transportation to point of desti
nation with their stock, but will not bs
allowed the usual return pass for them
selves and their employes. The rule is
sweeping in its nature and will cut off
a privilege that shippers of sheep and
cattle have long enjoyed. At present
shippers are allowed to take a number of
men along with their stock to the desti
nation. Then each is furnished with
free transportation back. The railroad
companies claim that this privilege has
often been abused, that friends of ship
pers who were not engaged in the stock
business were taken along to St. Paul
and Chicago and given passes back, tljus
depriving the railroads of cash fares
that might, be otherwise collected. It
is also claimed that the return passes
have often been sold to tasttfrtticket
scalpers.
NEW TIME CARD.
Forks Herald: There is a per­
sistent rumor in circulation to the effect
that another time card is about to be
announced on the Great Northern very
shortly. The present card, which went
into effect several weeks ago, is not a
desirable one, especially for the patrons
west and north of Grand Forks. Trans
ferring is necessary from all trains
reaching here in order to reach eastern
points and in addition the mail cars and
sleepers of the train from Minot are re
quired to be switched to the train from
Ncchc, and vice versa. This requires
coinsiderable time and on a whole the
new card is not nearly as desirable as
the old one. Just how it can be arranged
to improve it is a question that railroad
officials are engaged in trying to salve
and it may be several weeks before any
change is announced. That work is be
ing done in preparing a more agreeable
card is certain, but just what changes
are anticipated is not known, aside from
those engaged in getting up the .new
schedule.

ROBBED OF WATCH AND WM
White Sun Pinny Peaceful? Slept a 5
TMef 0«t to HI* Wor£»
S. E. Pinny, a local railroad man, re
ported to the police department this
morning, that some time after midnight
this morning, his room had been entered
by a thief and that a valuable watci
and a ring had been stolen.
"When I awoke this morning abotX
5 c^o o'clock I discovered that the light
had been extinguished in my room,
turned to see if my roommate had re
turntfd, but found his side of the bed
still unoccupied. About sunrise I awpke
again and found my trousers lying b/
the door of the room, which stood open
I immediate realized that I had beei|
robbed and jumping out of bed discovert
ed that my watch and a ring were miss*
ing.
"I room on the first floor of Andre
Hogan's house, 65 Fourth Street North,
My roommate is Harry Smith, a 'hash
er,' who I have known for a little ovetf
a week.
Pinny said that the works in the!
watch were very valuable, but were en-f
closed in a nickel case. The ring was(
an ordinary set ring, worth about
or $6. Chief Gowland has a very good,
idea where the property went, and if th
party has not skipped out his arres
will be made before night.
SUDDENLY STRICKEN.
Edmore Herald: While vTsltTnja
with the agent at one of the elevators
last Friday, R. S. Coombs was suddenly
taken with hemorrhage of the brain, and
at once became unconscious. He was^
removed to his home and Dr. Lee at
once summoned. The doctor pro
nounced his case a very critical one, but:
did all in his power to relieve him. For
some time his death was expected at any
moment, but he finally rallied and re
gained his senses and it is now thought
that he will recover, although it will
be some time before he will be well
It came so sudden that it was a shock to
the people, of our village. He is being
carefully looked after by the various
lodges to which he belongs and Dr. Lee
has him under his imrnediate care and
with the good treatment that he is get
ting it is hoped that he will .fully er
cover. ..
CLEVER FAKIR: v
Neche Chronotype: In our last is
sue reference was made to some of the
operations of a clever confidence man
who recently visited this locality. Dur
ing the past week we have learned
that he succeeded in victimizing Rev.
Fr. Arsennault of St. Thomas, to the
extent of $25 through the medium of a
highly plausible hard luck story. He
represented as having been a past
master in the art of deceit, and appears
to have entertained a decided penchant
for victimizing gentlemen of the cloth,
as he succeeded in securing "a tempor
ary loan" of $15 from Rev. Fr. Lavigne
while at his place. He is described as
being a man of mediumn heighth and
weight,%!Wd hair aird 'mustache, with
slightly freckled face, and on several
occasions gave his name as McCormick.
He wore a Catholic Order of Foresters'
badge prominently displayed, and
claimed to a devout member of the
Catholic faith. He is unquestionably
both a clever and a dangerous imposter
an4 if apprehended should be,prosecuted
to the extent of the law.

A-' Minneapolis paper says: Mrs.
Martha Mohen, living near Mandan, N.

a homelike place and that she en
joyed the part of Christmas she spent
there.
Mrs. Mohen came to Minneapolis
to visit her daughter, arriving in the
city at 9 d'clock Thursday evening.
While 011 the train she lost her daugh
ter's address and started out to find the
place by inquiry. As she does not speak
English fluently, peoplfc she met failed
to understand her, and she wandered
about the city until 4 o'clock yesterday
morning when she was picked up by
patrolman.
Police Matron SchaefTer provided a
comfortable place for her the rest of
the night and yesterday morning she
was treated to a hearty Christmas
breakfast. Later a messenger boy took
the old lady to the home of her daughter
whom she had not seen for over five
years. Mrs. Mohen cannot say enough
