THE CITY IN BRIEF
Carnegie May Donate.
As the result of considerable cor
respondence between university rep
resentatives and Mr. Carnegie's sec
retary, a request from the man of
money to the university for the par
pose of erecting a library building
may follow. He has been assured that
10 per cent of any sum he may donate
will be set aside by the university for
such a purpose.
Changes In Teachers.
There will be a general change in
the school superintendents in the state
as the result of Prof. Hick's resigns^
tion at Fargo. Already there have
teen several changes made at pres
ent St Thomas is without a super
lntendent They will probably elect
some one shortly which will leave
some other school out of a superin

To Locate at Fargo.
Fargo Call: Mr. and Mrs. Sam Mc
Donald of Seattle arrived in the city
a few days ago and may conlude to
make their home here. Mr. McDonald
was formerly in the drug business at
Grand Forks and inter removed to
Seattle. It is probable tliat he will
become associated with Messrs. Hal
lenberg and Bentson in the Waldorf
and Eagle drug stores on Front street
and in that event he will probably
take charge of the Eagle store, for
merly known as the Tenney store.
When Messrs. Hallenberg and Bent
son secured possession of the two
stores some time ago, the association
of Mr. McDonald in the deal was con
templated. Mr. Hallenberg is manag
ing both stores at present, Mr. Bent
son continuing on the road.
Itankin is Winner.
Charlie Rankin beat John S. John
son, champion ice skater of the Da
kotas, last night at the ice rink in
easy fashion before a large crowd. The
plucky little Duluth boy is doing bet
ter work every day, and looks like a
comer. In each of his heats he had
a lead of over a quarter of a lap. Ran
kin made the first heat in 2:33 and
the second in 2:34. He skated easily
and did not seem to be killing him
self, being fresh at the end of the
tame.—Duluth News-Thibune.
It was erroneously reported that
Schumacher won the race at Hannah
trom Anderson. Anderson took two
heats from the local boy winning the
1
»ce.
Shriners Returned.
Fargo Call: The party of Fargo
members of the Scottish Rite, who at
tended the meeting of Masons at Lang
don Wednesday and Thursday, re
turned last evening, with the excep
tion of W. L. Van Horn and Dr. S. J.
Hill, who remained over last night to
give a stereopticon lecture on Yellow
stone Park. It is said that Messrs.
Scott, I'lumley, Gilles and Gibson were
so engrossed in a game of bridge whist
coming down that they were carried
past Fargo to Moorhead before they
awoke. G. W. Wasem, who was of the
party, reports a splendid time. The
thirty-second degree was conferred
yesterday forenoon.
Influx of Barbers.
The spring influx of knights of the
razor is here, almost every day wit
nessing the arrival of from three to
four of them from the cities east. This
is the advance guard of spring, it be
ing the custom of the tonsorial artists
to arrive in the larger towns of this
section in time to catch the lumber
jack trade which is sure to come 'is
soon as the camps break up. The bar
bers usually stay in this section for
a couple of months, then drift back to
the cities until fall, when they come
out again for the threshing trade.
Petitions Not Circulating.
The Evening Times was in error
relative to the petitions of State's At
torney Wineman being circulated for
his nomination. While such petitions
are being prepared, they will not be
circulated for some time and will not
be circulated by Mr. Wineman. He
will probably be a candidate, but has
held off until the solicitation of his
friends over the county become irre
sistable. When the petitions are cir
culated it will be done by his friends
who are anxious for his candidacy and
not by Mr. Wineman, who is and has
been indifferent to his re-election.
It. R. Valley Exposition.
The Red River Valley exposition is
to be the name of the fair to be held
in Grand Forks during the present
year. The committee having charge of
the arangements have decided on that
name at a meeting held recently. The
fair is given by the Grand Forks Agri
cultural association.

Hatter May Be Settled.
The matter of the payment of fines
and forfeitures to the state treasury
of the state of North Dakota by Grand
Forks county, which has been a long
time pending, will probably be settled
by the commissioners and the state
officers. State's Attorney Wineinau
has held that the cost of trial to the
county should be deducted from all re
mittances to the state' by the county
of fines and forfeitures. The state has
never made demand for this since 1899
but it his recently been dug up by the
auditor in a report to the governor.
The state has the right to demand the
entire sum of all fines and forfeitures,
under a strict construction of the law
and they can force its remittance. It
is probable, that some settlement will
be reached between the slate and coun
ty in the nature of a compromise.
Proposition Not Accepted.
The committees of the Grand Forks
Commercial club, the State Fair asso
ciation and the Grand Forks Agricul
tural association have not as yet noti
fied A. L. Woods of the acceptation of
his proposition to become their joint
secretary. If,the proposition, which
was submitted at their solicitation, is
accepted, he will move his headquar
ters to the Commercial club rooms.
He will handle his insurance and
teachers' agency by means of a secre
tary and devote almost all of his time
to the work of the association. He
could not, however, promise to devote
his entire time to the work of secre
tary.
Hurt lty Runaway.
Miss Clara Bondelid was badly in
jured by a runaway team yesterday
on North Third street near the Hotel
Dacotah. She was out riding with a
girl friend when the horses became
unmanageable and turned the cutter

dent.

BLOCK SYSTEM 10
BE INSTALLED BY
KM.
Officials Consult at Minot and
System Goes in From Lari
more to Minot.
F. B. Kelsey, train master, and N.
Nicholson, superintendent of the Great
Northern Dakota division, are back
from Minot where they went to a
conference of the officials of the cen
tial district of the Great Northern
system, on Wednesday of this week.
The result of the conference is that
the block system of handling trains
on the Great Northern railroad will
be installed between Larimore and
Minot. This is the first innovation
to be made by the Great Northern in
this direction and the section' of
track between Larimore and Minot
was selected as it has the greatest
traffic on the system.
The block system is in vogue in the
east and some of the western roads
have adopted it but as a general thing
it is new in the west. Under the sys
tem, the Great Northern will havte a
day and night telegraph operator at
each station point between Larimore
and Minot. As soon as a train enters
a block—the distance between opera
tors—from either way, the signals are
all turned against any other train, and
they cannot enter that block. It gives
the train the sole right to the block
and the moment it enters, the operator
wires to the next station and sets his
signals, showing that .the block is
closed from that end. The agent at
the next station on receipt of the
telegram, sets his signals and closes
the block from that end. Wrecks
from trains meeting head on or in
a telescope, is practically impossible.
Each station has a high semaphore,
a big signal displayed from an ele
vated position over the station, and
these control the blocks, opening .or
closing them. The system will be in
stalled at once.

EAST SIDE DEWS
CITY 111 THE CASE
III IHE SOPBEKE
IT,
Suit of IfOiig Standing is Final
ly Settled and City is Ahead
as la Result.
[Special to The Evening Times.]
St Paul, March 2.—The Bupreme
court of Minnesota filed their decision
today affirming the order of Judge
Watts in the case ot the city of East
Grand Forks vs. Herman Luck. This
case was started, in the municipal
court of Blast Grand Forks last April
to recover of Herman Luck 75 and
interest for light furnished to R. J.
O'Dowd, former proprietor of the
Great Northern hotel, Herman Luck
being the owner of the premises. The
action was brought under section 293
of chapter 8 of the laws of 1895 which,
when made applicable to this case,
reads as follows: "The owner of
private property, which property has
upon it wires connected with the city
light works, to convey electricity
thereto, shall, as well as the lessee of
the premises, be liable to the city for
the rents and rates of all electricity
from said light works used upon said
premises, which may be recovered in
an action against such ojrner, lessee
or occupant, or against any or either
of them."
In the municipal court, the defend
ant demurred to the complaint upon
the ground that it did not state facts
sufficient to constitute a cause of ac
tion, and this demurrer was sustained
by Judge Sullivan. The city then ap
pealed to the district court on ques
tions of both law and fact, and Judge
Watts overruled the demurrer, and
from this order the defendant ap
pealed to the supreme court.
Upon the latter appeal, the main
questions argued by the defendant
were (1) That sections 291 and
293 of chapter 8 of the laws of 1895,
''in so far as the attempt to create a
personal liability of the owner of
premises for electric lights furnished
to others thereon are unconstitutional
and void in that they provide for tak
ing of appellant's property without
due process of law," and (2) that the
provisions of the 1895 law referred to
cannot be made applicable to electric
light plants.
The decision of the supreme court
today affirms the order of Judge Watts
holding, in effect, that the owner of
premises situated in the city of East
Grand Forks is liable for all electri
city furnished on those premises
whether furnished to the owner him
self or to any other person who may
be occupying those premises, such as
a tenant. Judge Elliott filed a dis
senting opinion.
F. C. Massee and G. A. E. Finlayson
conducted this case through all the
courts for the city H. A. Bronson and
D. T. Collins representing Mr. Luck.
Returned From St. Faul.
M. J. Sullivan returned from a
week's business trip at St. Paul this
morning. He reports that city and

acting much business which will bene

Mr. Metson, the principal attorney of
these mining companies, about it, but
that he would try to talk it over with
him in Seattle before he and Mr. Met

that he had not the time or opportu

Had the syndicate kept its agree
ment with Walters the foregoing affi
davit would never in all possibility,
have been made. The draft upon the
syndicate's "slush" fund must have
been pretty heavy, else they would
have paid Walters the balance of the
$1,000 promised him.
Here is another affidavit which
throws a limelight upon the character
of the "testimony" he was expected to
give and which he did give. It will be
recalled that it was upon Walter's
"testimony that the charge of a "con
spiracy to rob the poor miners of Alas
ka" was\ based and it is this charge
that is now being exploited in the mag
azine referred to and in certain North
Dakota papers in the interest of the
so-called "reform movement." From
the very nature of things Walters must
have been hard up when he was first
tempted with, twenty dollars and later
baited by being given $500. Senator
Hansbrough's, connection with this
matter is here set forth by a man who
evidently wanted to right a wrong done
the senior senator in his former testi
mony connecting him with Alaska
matters. Read this second affidavit
and judge for yourselves whether
somebody was lying:

E. M. Walters, being duly sworn,
deposes and says: that he is the same
E. M. Waiters who deposed in a case
of the circuit of appeals for the Unit
ed States in San Francisco against
Dudley Duboise for contempt before
United States Commissioner in San
Francisco on or about the 23rd day
of November, 1900.
Deponent herein states in said affi
davit that he met Senator H. C. Hans
brough at the Hotel Everett New York
City, on or about January 7th, 1900,
at which time I had a conversation
concerning the future of Nome, Alaska,
and its needs as to Its laws that at
no time was there any talk in any way
whatever concerning any mining com
pany to he organized or that had been
organised or have I at any time ever
known him to have any Interest in the
Alaska Gold Mining company or any
other mining company nor never en
tered into discussion with him in any
matters of that feature, either alone or
in the presence of any body.

It was purchased testimony of Wal
ters that was surreptitiously inserted
in the congressional record by Sena
tor Stewart at the time this whole sub
ject was before the senate of the Unit
ed States on investigation and which
had been widely advertised as the
"missing eleven pages." It was Sen
ator Stewart himself who eliminated
the whole of Walters' testimony includ
ed in those same missing eleven pages
from the permanent record when he
was qorfronted with the above affida
vttSt||!||p$e the jBrst time made pub-
The^wKtfle Alaska story with all of
its sensational details is based upon
circumstances and "evidence" of a
character quite as credible as the tes
timony of Walters.
Today Senator Hansbrough told me
in BO many words that he had never
owned one single share of stock in
any mining company in Alaska and I

THE BEST COAL IN THE
WORLD
is mined by Uncle Sam, and we have
about the choicest output of his
digging energy. Our success in the
coal business rests largely, of course,
cn the quality of the fuel supplied by
our yard, but coal cleanliness—proper
screening—prompt delivery and court

it, too. Needs not to say that wo
