MAGILL&CO.* Rargo, N. D.
,,,Among the horsemen todaty there
was considerable interest being taken
in the racing matinee which was sche
duled to take place at 3 o'clock this
afternoon. Tlie committee arranged
for three classes and this morning it
was thought that all of the horses en
tered last night would start, C. E.l
Wilson officiated as starter and thv
Bride*
Early this Morning.
A
man giving his name as Harry
Iruner reported to Policeman Costello
the N. P. service this morning about
o'clock that he had been held up on
ic south bridge by a lone highwayman
nd robbed of $33 in money, a gold
and chain and an overcoat.. He
cated that after the holdup had re
eved him of his valuables that lie was
rtiek in the face with a revolver and
nocked senseless on the sidewalk. To
instantiate this part of the story the
«an displayed a bleeding and badly
icerated phiz.
Bruner explained to the officer that
e had spent the night in Moorhcad and
ad started pvqr to this side of the river
Vjget his breakfast and catch an early
•airt. As he approached the Fargo end
ridge a man stepped up and with a
rawn revolver commanded him to
'irow up his hands. His digits flew up
1 the air and the holdup then went
trough him, taking his money, a roll
$33 and then his gold watch and
hain. The thug deliberately put the
loney in his pants pockets and slippjng
i 1e watch into his vest pocket and at
r.'idling the bar of the chain to his vest
1 uttonholc, said:
"Now, go!"-
Bruner started to-run in the direction
Fargo.
"Stop!" cried his assailant.
And Brufief •'stopftedi,
"I
see you've got a good ovcrcoat
fiere. Peel it off and be quick. It's
rosty this morning and I'm cold."
The holdup grabbed the overcoat as
ilrjiyu'r slipped it off and slipping it
n again commanded his victim to move
n, lie was again stopped and this time
s. the thug approached Bruner was
eilt a severe blow across the face with
th^'gun. He fell to the bridge floor in
nj unconscious condition and' when he
recovered lie went direct to the N. P.
lepot where he told Officer Costello of
he-incident. He also reported the hold
up to the inmates of a Front Street
restaurant. The officer on that beat says
hat he was in the vicinity of the bridge
between 4 and 5 o'clock and that he did
not see or hear anything in that vicin
ity until close to 6 o'clock, when the
arly morning traffic over the way open
d. The officers do not take much
tock in Bruner's story. They think it
lore likely that if he was held up at
ill that it was on the green cloth in
0111c quiet game of poker. Bruner is
stranger in the city and could not be
located today.

Minnesota House Damaged By PI re
Tenants Had to Hurry. w
fire which started .from an.pyer
^tove in a rear bed-chamber on
i!»ted
sechnri floor of the Minnesota Hotel,
144-Front Street,:gutted, the npper flhorf
tfj the .building and did damage amountf
several hundred dollars. The
iiouse is owned and occupied by
J. E.
Hurreson and was not insured. The fire
department ^nade a prompt response, and
despite the fact that the fire had made
CdYisiderable headway before the alarm
w|s turned in the flames were quickly
clucked, and a fire which at one time
threatened to wipe out a block or two
of frame buildings, was extinguished.
The room in which the fire originated
had been vacated just before the fire
was discovered. The first intimation
the inmates of the house had of the
flames was the discovery of smoke in
the halls on the second floor and when
the room .was reached it was enveloped
in flame#.. .4 he .building is a three-story
affair, and every room in the house was
occupied. Mbst of the guests succeed
ed in removing their effects and a great
deal of furniture was carried out by the
police department and other willing
hands. People living in the vicinity
thought the house was doomed and sev
eral- houses adjoining were emptied of
their furnishings.
Two streams were attached to the lit
tle,engine. drawing water from the
plug at the corner of First and Front
Streets, and the most enthusiastic ad
herents of strong pressure were more
th£n satisfied with .the results. It re
quired three men at the nozzles and'
weather boarding flew before the
streams like chaff before a strong wind.
During the progress of the fire several
sections of hose were burstcd by the tm
usyal pressure^ but .only a slight delay
wrfs caused.
.''I tell you what 'tis, white man
said a big ebony colored negro, "dat der
fiali hav' got to he put out. I libs up
dar 011 dat attic floan, white man, and
I jus' got a ton of coal which cos' me
$8,.and it mus' be saved. Bettah get in
and get a sky piece to cober my" pate.'*
said the bare headed darkey as he
danced about notifying the firemen of
his threatened loss,
l.he roof of the building was not
damaged and business will be continued
at the hotel, repairs to the burned i
tion to be started at once.
PROWNED IN A WELL.
Grafton Record: Netvs was brout' 1
to the city Monday, that a man empl
ed on the Hazzard "jfarm in St. Andre
township had been drowned in in a well.
Mr. Hazzard had employed the man to
care lor the stock and look after things
generally on the farm. The stock is
watered from ^an open well and it is
supposed that the hired man had knelt
down to draw water from the well and
slipped in head foremost and was unable
himself out. Neighbors saw the
stock running around on Monday and
went over to the farm to ascertain the
trouble. They discovered that the stock
had not been cared for for some days
and immediately drove to Grafton to
inform Mr. Hazzard. Upon reaching
the farm Mr. Hazzard instituted a
search for the hired man and found him
in the well, ft is supposed the man fell
in Christmas day. He was a native of
Geftftany and about 40 years of age.
The man's name is Chris. Kangindors.
The sheriff and coroner drove to the
farm yesterday and held an inouesv, at

—One hundred
and seventy-five million dollars is a
conservative estimate of the aggre
gate sum to be^ disbursed this month
by corporations, municipalities and
states in interest and dividends. Tlie
distribution of this huge sum. as in the
past, is expected to stimulate the de
mand for securities. Money rates will
naturally remain .firm while prepara
tions for the payments are going on,
but as the operation simply means a
shifting of fttnds from o!he bank fo an
other, the advance in mopey
likely be temporary only.
