NOON—SEVERAL SHOTS WERE
FIRED.
The spirit of war nearly resulted in
a battle In Fargo Wednesday and the
ammunition wagon was kept busy
hauling cartridges for the forty-five
gats that were placed in action by a
couple of Kolored Kids who were at
tempting to irrigate the Rtreet with
gore. The story of the engagement is
as follows:
Mistah Skinner took exceptions to a
remark passed in the presence of a
lady of color, who had won his heart,
and drawing his gat unlimberkd the
artillery and fired seven shells at the
offending coon. Seven proved lucky
number for the target his rabbit foot
was working and every bullet weft
wild. Mistah Skinner, becoming dis
gusted with the jinx that preserved
his enemy intact, repressed his can
non and attempted to get the goat of
the fair one. Love is biitia, and
for three consecutive times the blind
ness kept him from getting the proper
range and the only harm the lady suf
fered was from her emotions while
turning from black to white. Just as
the thiTd bullet left the gun re."i.torce
ments in the person of Charlie Jones,
a mild mannered porter of this city,
appeared, and in the hands of Mistah
Jones was a gun that mare the bat
tery of Mistah Skinner appear as a
popgun in comprison. As soon as the
shooting Skinner saw the reinforce
ments he took a shot for the G. N.
bridge and in about thirty seconds,
more or less, he was a *eident of
Moorhead. Mistah Jones helped him
along by sending a four-inch shell
after the disappearing coon
The sound of the cannonading had
reached the city hall via j, phone and
the flying artillery of the police force
in an armored automobile sallied forth
to preserve neutrality. They were
successful in capturing the person of
Mistah Jones and confiscating his ar
tillery which is now parked at the city
hall.
The last heard of Skinner was a re
port from the Boe camp that hv pass
ed there with all sails set and break
ing the sp^r^ limit.

FARGO POSTOFFICE, DISTRIBUT
ING POINT FOR BIG TERRITORY.
RECEIVED FOUR CARLOADS AS
THE FIRST-OF A BIG CONSIGN
MENT.
This morning fft© postoffice
received four carloads of catalogues of
one of the big mail order houses of the
country, the first consignment of an
enormous amount that will be distrib
uted from this office to the surround
ing territory, including northern Min
nesota, northern Souuth Dakota, all of
North Dakota and a portion of eastern
Montana.
"The shipment received this morn
ing," said Postmaster Plumley, "is
about half of the amount that will be
received from this one mail order
house within the next thirty days.
The consignment weighed 220,000."
This consignment is about half of
what this particular mail ordei house
will send to the Fargo office. Another
large mail order house will have its
first shipment of catalogues in the of
fice within a few days and this will
weigh about 86,000, the total consign
ment from this house will be 500,000
pounds. Still another house will send
out 200,000 pounds of smaller cata
logues from the local office.
Altogether Postmaster Plumley esti
mates that within thirty days the
Fargo office will have handled 500 tons
of catalogues from these three houses
alone. This does not take into consid
eration the enormous amount that I
other smaller houses send out or any
other mail that is handled.
This gives some idea of the vast
amount of business that is handled by
the local postoffice, a thing that is not
always fully appreciated.

KILLED «Y ACTO
NOT AS EXCUSE
PRAIRIE CHICKENS KILLED BY
MOTOR CARS MUST. BE LEFT
ALONE—SECTION 34 OF GAME
LAWS WILL BE ENFORCED BY
GAME WA'RiDCNS.
You can't tun pfairie chickens 4owc
with your automobile any more and
escape the wrath of the game laws of
the state, according to notices sent out
by E. B. McCutcheon, chief game war
den. So if you happen to hit one of
the birds and kill it the best thing to
do is to leave it alone, open the car I
up and get out of the vicinity as soon
as possible.
Chief Warden McCutcheon says he
has often been asked the question:
"What shall I do with the body of a
prairie chicken that I killed by run
ning over it with my auto, or wagon."
In the notices sent out Mr. McCutch
eon says that the best thing to do is
to leave it alone, as if it is found in
you possession you are liable to the
same fine as if you killed it intention
ally.
This ruling comes from section 34
of the game laws, which reads some
thing like this:- "The having in your
possession or under your control any
game bird or part thereof during the
closed season, is unlawful." So give
the defunct bird a wide berth.
Mr. McCutcheon says that "killed by
auto" is a common excuse, but last
year deputy game wardens found elev
en grains of shot in one such case and
they are not going to be fooled any
more, and will enforce section 34 to
the letter.
When a prairie chicken looms up in
the road ahead of your car put on the
emergency brake. If your car runs
over the creature just keep on going
and don't stop until you are far enough
away that there will be no question of
your having the dead bird in
your pos
session.
FARGO GIRL
A SUICIDE
OLGA ECKSTRAND, FORMERLY OF
THIS PLACP, CARRIES OUT SUI
CIDE PACT WITH MAN AT VEL-
VA—MOTHER LIVES IN THI8
CITY.
Velva, N.
D.,
The reasons for the suicide can only
be guessed at, but from all appear
ances it seems evident that the two
young people came to Velva with the
intention of taking their lives. A sui
cide pact had evidently been arranged
by the two as they took rooms at a
local hotel and were later found dead.
The girl was about twenty years of
age. White being somewhat older.
Miss Eckstrand's mother lives In
Fargo, but is at the present time con
fined to her rooms on account of ill
ness. "She is in poor circumstances
and has not the funds to bring the
body of her daughter to Fargo for in
terment. The mayor of Velva has been
instructed to inter the body at that
plaoe.
The deceased girl lived in Fargo for
a number of years and is quite well
known. White is not known here.

FALL FASHIONS
The demands of fashions fcr fall
footwear require a remarkable variety
of styles to suit the trade of tue com
ing season. Several different toe ef
fects and in like manner a number of
different heels will be close competi
tors of each other for popular favor.
This situation compels shoe retailers
to carry unusually large stcoks of fall
and winter footwear.
In order to make room for a larger
and finer stock of shoes than they
have ever shown before, the Kall-Al
len Shoe Co. will put or c- ct'urance
sale during four days of next week in
which they will offer dependable foot
wear at prices far below anything at
which quality shoes have ever been
sold in Fargo before.
The new goods are already arriving
and in order to give them »toom their
splendid stock of ladies' children's and
men's pumps and oxfords will be
cleared at once. The store will be clos
ed Monday to arrange for sale, which
opens Tuesday morning at 8:80 and
continues through Saturday evening.
