THE CITY IN BRIEF
North Dakota Boys.
Milton Globe When the thermom
eter registers 30 below in the eastern
states humanity drops dead on the
streets and all traffic is tied up. Not
so in North Dakota. On Tuesday the
mercury loitered around the 30 be
low mark and we confess to a little
amazement on meeting a young ur
«hin on the street playing lustily
•away on a mouth organ, regardless of
the antics of the thermometer. It is
such stock that produces sturdy men,
capable of grappling with the battles
of life.
Hatch, Boy and Gas.
"Dickie" Mitchell was burned by an
explosion of acetylene gas last Fri
day evening. A number of boys got
some empty carbide cans from the gas
house and poured water into' them.
There happened to be enough carbide
sticking to the can to form consider
able gas. "Dickie" lit a match and
touched it off. He knows the rest.
It "was too quick for him and he and
his. eyebrows, hair and hands were
singed.—Crystal Call.
'"'J'
Park River Druggists.
There is great excitement at Park
River over the issuance of druggists'
permits to the three drug stores of
the town. Permits were issued by
Judge Sheppard and the local W. C.
T. U. has appealed the case to the
district court on the grounds that the
county jndge has no authority to is
sue. permits unless the office has in
creased jurisdiction. The cases will
come up for hearing at tirafton this
week.-v.
'Cttiieia Are Angry.
"!&* Langdon citizens are very bitter
over the mustering out of Company
at- that place and strenuous efforts
are made to liave the company mus
tered in again. Several other towns
in the state arte after the militia com
pany and ihtfe will probably he some
lively scrapping resulting therefrom.

Deny the Story.
The Wahpeton Gazette refutes the
typhoid fever scare there and says:
"The Fargo papeps have sent out
the report that there is a great ty
phoid epidemic in Wahpeton. There
are a number of cases in the city, but
as far as we can learn no more than
there are in nearly all other towns
in the state. So far there have been
no serious cases and those who were
first taken sick are well on the road
to recovery. This is the season when
typhoid is to be expected and people
should take extra precautions against
taking cold."
Injuries Are Serious.
A traveling man in from Bemidjl
states that the injuries sustained by
R. J. McDonald Monday morning by
falling from a ladder during the fire
at the Bemidjl hotel have proven more
serious than at first thought. Mr.
McDonald's leg was injured, but up
to the present time the physicians
have been unable to ascertain wheth
er It is a break or a bad sprain, ow
ing to the swelled condition of the
member.
Locate College at Bismarck.
Prof. A. J. Button, the business col
lege magnate of Crookston, was in the
city this morning enroute to Larimore.
Mr. Button reports that his business
colleges at Grafton and Devils Lake

the field today at Larimore and viill
then proceed to Bismarck where he
will put in a college. It is likely that
he will also put one in at Larimore
and possibly one at Williston.

Is Yet Unconscious.
Yesterday evening two men were
thrown from the blind baggage of the
Hanna train at Emerado. The men
were stealing a ride from Larimore to
Grand Forks and at Emerado the en
gine broke loose from the coach and
threw the two men to the ground.
One of them, E. J. Mulcaire, was not
hurt, but his companion, who was un
known to him, was severely bruised
about the head. He was brought to
Grand Forks and placed in the Bever
ly hospital, where he yet remains in a
semi-conscious condition. Te is not
believed by the doctors to be in a dan
gerous condition and that he will be
himself in a few days. His name has
not yet been learned.
Forty Men Ready.
Bismarck Tribune: Attorney J. H.
Hanley of Mandan, who is the moving
spirit in the formation of a militia
company at that city, says forty of the
youth and chivalry of that place have
signified their anxiety to be counted
among those who wear the blue. Mr.
Hanley's anxiety is not for the suc
cess of the movement so far as Man
dan is concerned, but is directed to
ward the state military authorities,
with whom the fate of the proposed
company lies, the papers in the case
having been sent to the adjutant gen
eral.
County Judge Sustained.
The appeal of the people from the
decision of Judge Hassell to the dis
trict court in the arimore druggist
permit case T. L. Williams being the
party asking for the permit, was yes
terday evening dismissed by Judge
Fisk. The judge held that the law un
der which the county judge acted was
constitutional and did not confer upon
that official any duty which the legis
lature did not have a perfect right to
confer.
Not. Much of a Success.
County Superintendent McLain is
somewhat discouraged over his effort
to stimulate corn growing in Grand
Forks county. Last spring he made
an effort to get the pupils throughout
the county to raise samples of corn.
After a large amount of work, cor
responding, etc., he is in receipt of a
few samples of corn. Not many schools
took any Interest in the matter.

IS WATCHING
THE JURORS
State Has Detective With Eye ou Mur­
phy Case Jurors—Examination is
Trying on Witness Today.
[Special
to
The Evening Times.f
Fargo, N. D. Jan. 26.—The re-direct
examination of Major Murphy was
concluded this forenoon and the re
cross examination taken up. Several
old: scores were brought up by the
prosecuting attorney and the examina
tion was pretty severe on the witness.
It has been freely circulated today
that the state has a detective closely
watching the jury, fearing that an
effort may be made to influence them.
Court will adjourn over until Monday.
Yesterdny'n Semlon.
Immediately after court convened
yesterday afternoon the manuscript
of a lecture which Major Murphy had
written was offered in evidence. The
state objected but the court allowed
the document to be introduced. The
purpose of the document was to shW
that Major Murphy was in the habit
of making "upright" r's. On the cross
examination the state attempted to
show that Major Murphy had disguis
ed his handwriting in signing the
name of Harry Hardy to a road tax
receipt, and attention was called espe
cially to the r's and y's. The manu
script of Major Murphy's lecture
shows that the r's and y's are very
similar to those in the Harry Hardy
signature.
Owing to the time the trial of the
case is taking, it is probable that
night sessions will be held. At the
present rate the trial will last a week
longer at least, which in this case
and account of the presence on the
jury of a Seventh Day Adventist,
means five days.
Late yesterday afternoon Major
Murphy "handed" State's Attorney
McGee a few. The opportunity was
offered during the cross-examination
concerning the defendant's transac
tions with C. E. F. Gordon. It appears
that the road taxes due the district
in which Mr. Gordon was overseer
had been paid by draft which had been
sent to the state's attorney's office.
The draft was slightly irregular in
that it was made endorsed by a ficti
tious name.
"As a matter of fact were you not
aware that Mr. Gordon had refused to
accept this draft and do you not know
that it has been in the hands of the
state's attorney ever since?" asked
Attorney Townsend.
The witness replied in the negative.
"You knew that the draft had been
sent to the state's attorney's office?"
persisted the attorney.
"I knew Mr Gordon was there and
I sent the draft to him," was the re
ply.
"You had that draft made in that
way and sent it to the state's attor
ney's office knowing that that official
would examine it. You had sufficient
confidence in the state's attorney to
send the draft to his office?"
"I knew Mr. Gordon was in the of
fice. I had no confidence in the state's
attorney."
"You have never had confidence
the state's attorney, have you?"
"Not in the, present state's attor
ney. Not in McGee. I have no con
fidence in his ability or his honesty.
I have had in some state's attorneys
but not In him."
State's Attorney McGee smiled grim
ly at the retort of the witness.
Just before the adjournment, the
prosecution attempted to introduce
road tax receipts for the years 1902
and 1903. The defense objected. The
prosecutions was not inclined at the
time to state for what purpose the docr
uments were desired in evidence and
the matter was left for argument this
morning.
The fact that Judge Pollock has al
ready permitted so much evidence to
be introduced which has no close con
nection with the particular offense
with which Major Murphy is charged
In the Crowder indictment on which
he is now being tried, has been the
subject of considerable comment in
legal circles.
It is admitted that, in case of a
conviction, the fact will be made the
basis of an appeal.
This morning the prosecution was
permitted to interrogate the defendant
concerning road receipts issued in
1903, but the receipts were not intro
duced In evidence.
All during the cross-examination
the prosecution has attempted to show.
that ex-County Treasurer Williams
and Major Murphy were in "cahoots"
on road tax matters and just before
suspending his cross-examination of
the defendant Attorney Townsend
again touched on the subject
"Did you ever have any trouble
about road overseers' receipts before
Mr. Williams' term of office expired t"
aBked
the attorney.
An objection by judge Lauder was
overruled and the witness replied in
the afflrjnative. .«
'Was the-genuineness of any receipt
which had passed-fhrough your hands
questioned before Mr. William?' term
of office explredr persisted the at
torney.
"No," was the reply and the attor
ney for the state emlled.
thMjed,Mf.
"Ton ha/e ainker* that I have ever
'I
*'«isf
heard of," was the reply.
At this point it was announced that
the cross-examination of the defend
ant by. the state would be suspended.
Judge Lauder then mov$d that a great
portion of the evidence be stricken,
out for the reason that it had no con
nection with the action but in motion
was denied by the court.
The redirect examination of the de
fendant by the defense was then com
menced.
A letter which Major Murphy had
written to Seth W. Richardson in this
city was produced and Judge Lauder
explained that the purpose was to
show the handwriting of the defend
ant. The introduction of the letter
was opposed by the state particularly
because the contents it was claimed,
were improper to set before the jury.
The court took the matter under ad
visement.
In answer to questions from his
counsel, Major Murphy stated that he
had never told anyone that the Crow
der receipt had been signed by Crow
der and that he had never denied that,
he had written the body of the Dick
man receipt. Other questions intend
ing to establish the fact that the' de
fendant had not made any attempt to
conceal any of his acts were answered
and it was indicated that the entire
field gone over by the state in the cross
examination would be followed by the
defense, thereby insuring a more
lengthy trial than has been at any
time anticipated.
WAS CAUGHT
IN THE ACT
Well Known Local Boy Caught While
Shoplifting in Locul Store.
This afternoon a local boy was
caught while purloining a valuable
piece of silk- in one of the large de
partment stores in this city. The
youth, who is only 13 years old had
the piece of goods under his arm and
was just going out of the door with it
when one of the clerks, who had seen
him take it, headed him off and stop
ped him. The manager of the store
was called and was going to turn
the boy over to the police, but he beg
ged and pleaded so hard to be let go
that the manager,decided to give him
another chance.
The boy, who is of very good fam
ily says this was his first attempt at
shoplifting, and promised that It would
be his last, and by the looks of him
while in the hands of the manager
will evidently keep his promise. A
few years ago in this city the habit of
shoplifting was common among the
boys, but the measures taken to pun
ish them were so severe that they
stopped it and this is the first offense
which has been found in a long time.
BAD WRECK ON

V»
Train Badly Shak6n Up Near Formnn
But So One Seriously Injured—
Broken Flange the Cause.
Last evening a serious wreck oc
curred on the Soo some six miles out
of Forman and as a result, a box car,
a baggage car, two day coaches and
a sleeper went into the ditch. The
cars were badly broken up and six
people more or less seriously in
jured.
The passenger picked up the freight
car and some six miles out of Forman
a flange on one of the wheels broke
and derailed and ditched the car. The
baggage and passenger coaches fol
lowed. The loss of property was con
siderable.
The passengers injured were not
dangerously hurt but were more or
less severely bruised.

The Large Casting'is Finally Planed
Off and Pnt fn.
The large casting which has been
the cause, of many a weary hour spent
in the dark is finally fixed and the
engine supplying light to the north
end and business district of the
town. The break which has been the
worst in the history of the light plant
was causd by the worn out machinery
going on a strike and suddenly plung
ing the largest portion of the city
into darkness. An order was immedi
ately sent to. the factory which made
the engine to send a casting and they
wired that they could not send the
casting until yesterday, thus causing
a delay which would last until next
Mond^r if not longer. The superin
tendent deemed this too long to- wait
and had a casting moulded in the
Crookston foundry. It was then
brought to this city and planed off
so as to exactly fit at the Grand Forks
foundry. Yesterday the casting was
put in its place and last night .the'
city was supplied with electric lights
for the first time since Sunday even

AMUSEMENTS
(Continued from pace 4.)
Miss Thorp, there never was such
splendid violin playing as that ren
dered by Harold Heide. at the. First
Presbyterian church last" night. The
performance opened with (a) Polon
aise de Concert (b) Legende by Wien
iawsky. Mr. Heide fascinateft the au
dience by the strength and. style and
his faultless execution. We have sel
dom listened, to a violih played who
plays with so much musical expres
sion and understanding. Tp call him
master of his instrument is not say
ing too much. He was reWferded With
loud and prolonged applause. His
second number was (a) Romanza
Andalusa by Sarasate and -(b) .Aye
Maria by Schubert-Wilhelmi. These
were rendered in the, most magnifi
cent style and evoked the most en
thusiastic applause and a double re
call.
The third number was Zigeunerwei
sen by. Sarasate. This was the. cli
max. His performance won instant
recognition. At the close the distin
guished violinist responding to the vo
ciferous applause gave Ole Bull's
grfeat masterpiece "Saterjenten's Son
dag" (The girl on the mountain on
Sunday morning) and held the. audi
ence spellbound by a marvelous dis
play of the most modern technical at
tainments, concluding amid a perfect
hurricane and tempest of applause.
The whole affair was an unqualified
success and will long be remembered
with. pleasure by all who were pres
ent. Mr. Heide appears at the M. E.
church next Monday evening, assist
ed by Mrs. E. J. White as accompan
ist and Miss Marion E. Titus as piano
soloist. vTickets for sale at H. Ben
deke's office and at the door Monday
