"SHE'LL THINK MORE OF YOU"
If you don your new Spring Suit when you make your evening call. Just
try a Blue Serge Suit, Stanch's new style $18.00 and add a French Flannel
Vest at $2.50 and you are set. You have got the best that money can buy.
"EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS"
That's why you should be careful in selecting your Neckwear—50c and
75c buys the "real ones" here. Just the right colors to wear with those 3

Well better wear a Roswelle Hat. The girls have wised up to the fact
that my $3.00 Hats are the standard of good fellowship and a recom

from the little will that he left behind
him when he died -some two years ago
that he had taken quite a liking to his
new protector. In the will that he left
he assigned all his personal effects and
property rights to John Kittleson.
Later the case,, came up for probate.
Meanwhile the father of Peter Baker
had passed away at his residence in
some Wisconsin city. The parent left
behind him a considerable fortune that
was to be distributed among his heirs.
.Then there came up from the south
one Mali Bakke. who would contest the
will of the East Grand Forks transient
made to John kittleson.' According to
evidence that was introduced at that
time Judge of Probate Thoreson de
clared that the will was cold and that
Baker died intestate. The case was
straightaway, appealed to the district
court. Judge Watts looked over the
evidence in the matter and after con
sideration reversed the decision of the
probate court and' declared that the
will was void. Accordingly Mr. Kittle
son will receive the rich heirloom of
the man whom he took care of in his
distress.
Public Meeting Called.
The board of education has called
a mass meeting of the citizens and tax
payers of the city, especially the lat
ter, for Tuesday night of next week
for the purpose of considering the
question of whether or not the books
of the board shall be audited. The
board is desirous of having a repre
sentative gathering of the tax payers
who .would have to bear the burden
of the cost qnd a vote will be taken as
to the action in the matter. The board
will be governed by the action of the
meeting. It had been thought at first
that the board would act upon its own
initiative, but there were so many pro
tests from the heavy tax payers who
claimed that they had already been
compelled to pay enough to learn
nothing, and that the cost of the audit
ing of the school board books should
not be forced upon them. ...

On next Tuesday the Grand Forks
aggregation which is to represent this
city in the Northern-Copper Country
league will arrive here and will be

preparatory to the opening of the sea

will be arranged with the state uni

teams and the first home games of

ball grounds.

The question of an appropriate

The1 Field Captain.
Leighty, it is understood, will cap
tain the .team in the field. He is a
good man and a strict disciplinarian.
The team should play ball all of the
time under his leadership. Manager
McNeil will be much in evidence and
will coach the boys, his world of
knowledge of the game and long ex
perience making him a most valuable
man to the team. He is very enthus
iastic over the prospects for the team
this year and states that we are to
'have the "best ever."
four O'clock Game*.
There is a strong feeling favoring
the calling of the games, at 4 o'clock
instead of at 3:30 and in good reason.
Many of the office men, clerks, print
ers and others do not get out of
work until that time and they are
among the most enthusiastic fans. It
is estimated that the attendance would
be largely increased if the games
were called at 4 o'clock instead of
3:30.
tench In Exchanged.
By a mutual agreement. Leach has
been traded to the Winnipeg team for
Zeider, a fast man and strong at a
position Grand Forks has always been
weak at, viz: third base. A fast catcher
has been signed who played with Mil
waukee last season and will arrive
with the bunch.
Dnluith Geta Trcadvajr.
The recent controversy over Tread
way has been decided and he has been
awarded to Duluth and will not be
seen with the Peggers this season. Mr.
Stanchfield states that he anticipates
the best year ever in the history of
baseball in this city, if an exception
ally fast_team and plenty of games on
the home diamond go for anything.
The workout of the team will be
watched with interest by the fans and
the players are reported now as shap
ing up in pennant winning form.
The team is to play three games
with Watertown, S. D. commencing
tomorrow and other games may lie
arranged which will bring them to
Grand Forks one day later than ex

GONYEA GOT A
FRIGHT
Floors Fall Out of Jail and Janitor
Thinks the Building Has Been Dyna
mited—Sheriff Ready to Meet Emer­
gency With Winchester.
Sheriff Gonyea of Crookston had an
experience the other night which he
does not care to repeat. As it was,
he took on several years of age in a
few minutes. Some excavations were
being made under the new wing of the
county jail for electric purposes, and
the workmen had unknowingly un
dermined the foundation of a" steel
pillar which supported the floor above
and to which the steel girders "were
attached. To this was attached an
other pillar which supported the ceil
ing above, so that one entire floor and
one cement ceiling was supported by
the foundation undermined. During
the early night the foundation gave
away and the entire floor and ceiling
above fell with a deafening crash. The
janitor of the building at once sent a
hurried call for the sheriff and stated
that the jail had been dynamited. The
sheriff called to his son to guard the
rear while he jumped into his clothes
and with Winchester in hand prepared
for the worst. Clouds of dust were
pouring from the- building and the
janitor declared that the explosion
was almost equal to the recent earth
quake, as he could see through the
walls. Finally the officers ventured
into the wrecked building and found
the floor and celling piled in the ex
cavation. while the Iron girders had
been pulled from the walls and twisted
into fantastic shapes. There were no
prisoners in the part of the building
wrecked, as the cells had not yet been
placed in position. In fact it was not
intended to place them in position un
til they were needed. That there
were no dangerous prisoners in th
jail was not thought of until after th
excitement was passed.
BARTLES DENY
CHARGES
That They Are in Any Way Affiliated
With the Standard Oil Company—
Reward Is Offered for Proof to the
Contrary.
Grand. Forks, N. D., May 10, 1906.
To The Grand Forks Times:
Seeing your article entitled "Fargo
ans Are Skeptics" let me say that the
Bartles Oil company of St Paul com
menced business about four years ago
and was established by my father,
Joseph Bartles, who owns the greater
part of the stock.
He was with the Standard Oil conK
puny at St. Paul for about fifteen
years and was their general manager
at. St. Paul, until 1901 when he left
them to go, into business on his own
account
The Bartles-Dakota Oil company is
a Dakota organisation of which the
7*~
writer and my father are owners. It
is a popular impression that the Stand
ard Oil company have practically no
competitors and people seemed to
think in St. Paul that the Bartles Oil
company was connected with the
Standard Oil company when they first
commenced business, but the Standard
Oil company have openly fought us
hard, and the Bartles Oil company
have been so aggressive, sometimes
reducing their price when the Stand
ard advanced theirs and visa versa,
that the people there now know that
they are in no way connected.
It is not generally known that there
are thirty-eight independent refineries
located in Pennsylvania and about
twelve in Ohio. These refineries all
nave their own tank cars, yhlle the
-Standard ship all their oil in tanks
which bear the brand of the Union
Tank line (one of the subsidary or
ganizations of the Standard Oil com
pany.)
We expect to be ready to commence
business about the first of June and
if people take any interest in determin
ing who we are, and what we are, they
will see on our switch at Lulu avenue
the tank cars of the Independent Re
fining company of Oil City, Pa., and
the Titusville oil works of Titrusville,
Ha., and the Canfield Oil company of
Coraopolis, Pa.
If .von care to carry the investiga
tion further you will see at the Stand
ard Oil company's plant in Grand
Forks only the tank cars marked
Union Tank Line."
Now if any one cares to follow up
this claim we are prepared to offer
to anyone who will show that we buy
even one barrel manufactured by the
Standard Oil company or that we have
it anywhere about our plant, $500 as
a premium for their efforts in hunting
up proof.
This offer is made not only to the
public but also to anyone connected
with the Standard Oil company.
Please bear in mind that we are
going to handle oil made from the
Pennsylvania crude which quotation
of May 5 sells at $1.01 per bbl. while
the Standard Oil company handle in
North Dakota oil made from either
"Lima" or "Indiana" crude, that is
quoted at 9Sc and 93c per bbl. The
reason for this difference in the prices
of crude is because the Pennsylvania
crude is free from sulphur while the
Ohio and Indiana crudes are loaded
with sulphur, consequently when
burning oil made from these crudes,
the lamp chimney clouds, the wick
crusts, and there is an unpleasant odor
from the lamp.
Very truly,
—Bartles-Dakota Oil Company,
Chas. Bartles, Mgr.
TRANSFER NOT
VALID
Judge Amidon Decides Transfer of
Interests l»y Large & Knoor of Jllnot
to Western Implement Company
Was Fraudulent.
Special to The Evening Times*
Fargo, May 10.—Judge Amidon to
day decided 'that the transfer of inter
ests in the case of Large & Koor of
Minot was secured by fraud and is
therefore Illegal and that the same
will not hold.
The case is an interesting one.
Large & Knoor were implement deal
ers at Minot and transferred their in
terests to the Western Implement com
pany, thus avoiding the action of
creditors. It was claimed that the sig
natures to the transfer were secured
when the parties thereto were under
the influence of liquor. ,1. W. Briggs
of Minot was appointed receiver of tile
defunct firm.

J. D. Boe and J. D. Kulstad were re

tion announces that the advertising for
the premium list or the fair is almost
completed, but that in order that no
one may be left out who may desire
to use its pages, it will be held open

FARGO TO GET

Independent Oil Company to Locate
There and Employ Number of Men

That Point
Special to The Evenlnir Tlmea.
Fargo, May 10.—Fargo is to have
an independent oil company, in truth,
not an offshoot of the Standard Oil
company under a blind as is frequent
ly the case. The Marshall Oil company
of Marshalltown, la., has decided to
locate here, and tanks, ware houses
and everything necessary for the con
ducting of their business have been
arranged for.' The company will em
ploy ten men on the road as salesmen
and at least twenty-five in the city in
different capacities. The firm is well
known as an independent company.
GRAIN THIEF
IN MICHIGAN
Albert Weeks, Wanted in Ward County
Will Jiot Return as Soon as Expect­
ed—Is Serving Intermediate Sent
ence in Lock Up.
Special to The Bvenlng Times.
Minot, May 10.—Sheriff Lee has
been disappointed. He has been har
boring the hope for the past three
weeks that he would have a trip to
Michigan after Albert Weeks, a young
man who is wanted in this county for
stealing grain.
Weeks, after leaving Ward county
last fall, went to Michigan, where the
fields looked much "greener," but he
did not apply his profession very long
as he was soon "nabbed" on a charge
of grand larceny. He was tried, con
victed and sentenced to an indeter
minate sentence in the state reforma
tory of Michigan. His sentence ranged
from one year to five years, and his
one year would expire on'May 13. Un
less he applies for a parole, however,
he will not be released from jail and
the Ward county authorities will await
•\Jr. Weeks' pleasure in regard to this

FOOD RUNAWAY WIFE.
Husband Traces Helpmate to Bemidji
—Reconciliation Follows.
A domestic drama in which the
principal actors were a runaway wife
.and a pursuing husband was enacted
in Bemidji Tuesday according to the
Bemidji Pioneer. The woman was de
termined not to go back home, but
the man's will was not to be denied,
and the final curtain fell in justice
court with the couple reconciled and
making preparations to return to
Thief River Falls.
The woman, who styled herself Mrs.
Walker, arrived in Bemidji several
days ago and to hide herself in the
world, took up her abode in a house
on the outskirts of town.
The husband, who gave the name of
Sutherland, reached Bemidji Saturday
and traced his wife to her stopping
place. But then the man's real trouble
began, the woman would not budge,
and it was only after Chief of Police
Bailey went out armed with the law's
authority that she would come into
town.
Judge Pendergast was called and
after hearing the case imposed a fine
on the woman of $5 and contributed a
fund of good advice. The husband
paid the money and led his spouse
away to the train. Mr. Sutherland
had been in Grand Forks, Crookston
and other valley towns in search of
his truant wife.
Any man or woman flaunting their
sins in the face of the public, to the
disgust of all decent people, should
be tabooed.—Yoakum Times.

TO ATTEND FORMAL
Grand Forks Christian Son
tists Plan Trip to Boston
on Important Mission.
If satisfactory arrangements can be
made, and it is expected that there will
be no difficulty in .this respect, a dele-,
gation of Christian Scientists from tkej
state will attend the formal dedication
at Boston of the magniflcant audltor-j
ium of the mother church recently?
erected there, in June.
The dedication takes place on th
10th of the month of leafy beauty am
scientists from all over the world will
be present at the important event
Negotiations are now under
with the railroads, the Great Northern^
Northern Pacific and. it is undersi
the Sou. for a car from Grand Fori
and the proposition has been made
at least one of the roads that if
party of eighteen can be secured,
car will be furnished to transport thi
party from this city to Boston, goit
directly through without change.
Among those who contemplate takj:
ing the trip from this city are Senator
and Mrs. Bacon, who some years ag
visited Boston and attended churcf
there. Several others are planning
upon the trip, which will be a delight
ful one, and a visit to the beautifd:
city of Boston, replete with historical
associations, is one to delight thosi
who make it.
The auditorium to be dedicate
is one of the most beautiful works r!
modern architecture. It is constructed
of Concord granite, with a beautifv
dome surmounting the edifice and wl?
cost, when fully completed, in th!i
neighborhood of $2,000,000.
The necessity of erecting it as a
annual meeting place for the buslnee'.
meetings of the church gives en
something of an idea of the wonderfti
growth of the church in this countr
The annual meetings heretofore hav
been held in the Masonic temple
Boston, but the capacity of the bullc
ing wa« far too small for the purpot
and the new auditorium, which is a'
annex to the mother church, has bee
constructed.
Mrs. Eddy, contrary to expectation
will not be present at the dedicatic
of the auditorium. In the followln
letter to the members of the churc".
