beeif.
advised of the man's oonuition,

WITH BUCKJRT OUTFIT
Lloyd Shipley, Former Resident^ Will

In City Today.

ing the. country. Mr. Shipley has a
complete black art equipment and will

In Railroad Yards at Minto Was
Knn Down by Vehicle.
James McGrego, a laboring man sup
posed to have been slugged, was run
over by a hack near the Great Nor

robbed, but later Investigation showed
that he was struck by a hack.
McGrego came to Minot in search
of work and had made arrangements
to leave for Bowdin. When he reached
the de]K)t he found that the train had

NO HAMS, BOT

a
Gover­
Mclntyre & Heath's "The Ham
Tree," a Semi-Minstrel
Show, Proved Pine.
The "Ham Tree" company, tutored
and managed by Mclntyre & He.ith.
may not be able to deliver the hams,
but the aggregation can certainly de
liver the "goods" when it comes to the
unadulterated and unalloyed essence
of minstrelsy. The performance given
at the Met last evening fairly blistered
with "warm ones"—and things like
that—and there was scarce a minute
from 'the time the curtain shot on
act one, till the usual scramble for
hats and coats in the same old pro
miscuous heap in the cloak rooms,
where everyone hangs their apparel
on the floor, that the large and well
groomed audience was not "tickled."
Mclntyre and Heath as Hambleton
ian and Jones make the best pair of
peroxidized end men and all-round
paralyzers that evei- Juggled the burnt
cork in this particular longitude and
latitude. They were the "goods' both
as plain coons and afterwards as the
"Rajah" and "Rajina." It would be
improper to fail to "mention" at this
time Sherlock Baffles, otherwise W.
C. Fields, and Ernest Everhart, other
wise Frederick V. Bowers, the former
a juggler and trickster of no iceab
renoun, and the latter a song and
dance artist. Bowers' chief hits were
"Good Bye Sweet Old Manhattan Isle,"
and "Drummers Song," with chorus
accompaniment
The dances and drills by the chorus,
which comprised some twenty decided
ly lively and winsome young maidens
and half as many young men, were
the prettiest, especially when costumes
are also considered, seen at the local
playhouse in a long time. One fea
ture of the performance deserving
more than passing mention was the
dancing, mostly clog, by sixteen young
men and women—all artists and work
ing in unison.
All in all the previous suspicions
of local theatre-goers that "The Ham
Tree" would come up to expectations,
were confirmed In every particular.
BUSINESS PROPERTY SOLD
Contract for Transfer Was Drawn in
France—H. Bendeke Purchased
Seventy-Five Foot Frontage.
A warranty deed for the sale of the
seventy-five feet between the Odd Fel
low's block and the Normanden build
ing on Kittson avenue was filed today
in the ofllce of Register of Deeds Han
cock. The property was bought by H.
Bendeke on February 18 by cable
from Paris, France,, the consideration
being $6,800.
The lots were owned by Col. James
T. Griffin and later transferred to his
son Hugh Reid Griffin from whom Mr.
Bendeke purchased them.
The contract for a deed was drawn
up before the vice consul at Paris,
France, and reached Grand Forks last
evening.
The property involved in the trans
action'is centrally located. It is not
known what disposition the new owner
intends to make of the site, though
there is rumor of anew business block
to be erected soon.
CONSIOERINOWATER WORKS
People of Towner May Decide to Have
a Plant—Electric Light Matter
is Also Up.
S. W. Wheeler of Towner, of the
Northwestern Realty and Investment
company is in Grand Forks visiting
with Secretary Milles of the Grand
Forks State Fair association. Mr.
Miller formerly^ resided at Towner,
and according to Mr. Wheeler, was
one of the most popular young men of
that city.
In speaking of Towner, Mr. Wheeler
is very enthusiastic. He says that the
people of that city are considering the
advisability of installing an electric
light' plant and also taking up the
matter of a water works system. These
will probably be settled upon during
the summer.
ADVERTISING THE FAIR
Secretary Miller Already Busily En.
gaged In Sending Out Announce*
ments of the Dates.
That the Grand Forks State Fair
association means business this year
is evidenced in every move. Today
Secretary Miller began the work of
mailing out letters to every news
paper in the state, announcing the
dates of the fair and asking their co
operation of the work of advertising
the fair. The first announcement is
that of dates, and these will be fol
lowed by other announcements.
THE BRlDOTpTW OPEN
So More Driving Round South Part
of Town to Get to East
Grand Forks.
The DeMers avenue bridge has been
reopened to traffic after being closed
for three weeks. The work was fin
ished this morning, and the structure
was at once open to vehicles. Since
the bridge was closed, all or the peo
ple who used horses and rigs were
obliged to go by way of the point
bridges. The bridge was closed on
account of the placing of a new bent
under the west approach.
THE WEATHER.
North Dakota—Partly clondy
tonight and Saturday.
THE EVENING TIMES, GRAND FORKS, N. D.
LAWYERS THINK NEW
BOOZE LAW
Will Prohibit Brewery Firms
to Solicit Orders Through
out the State.
IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Members of Bar State That
Law Will Interfere With
Interstate Commerce.
The senate bill prohibiting the solic
iting of liquor orders in North Dakota
which recently passed the house is
unconstitutional, according to the
opinions of leading members of the
bar in Grand Forks and elsewhere in
the state. If the bill is signed by
Governor Burke and thus becomes a
law brewery firms which have been
accustomed to send their representa
tives out to every part of North Da
kota for the purpose of taking orders
for booze for future delivery, will
have to "rest on their oars" figura
tively speaking, and wait for the or
ders to come in—at least this will be
the status of affairs until the supreme
court makes a ruling, for the liquor
dealers claim they will take the law
to the highest court in the land.
Prominent lawyers who have given
the matter thought state that un
doubtedly the law will be declared
unconstitutional when a test case is
brought to the attention of the supreme
court. The matter is one relating to
the jurisdiction possessed by a state
with reference to the commerce car
ried on with an adjoining state. The
law, it is stated, will interfere with
interstate commerce over which the
national law makers alone have any
powers.
The first arrest made under the re
striction law will be made the basis
of a test case.
THAT DIPHTHERIA SCARE
City Health Officer Does Not Think
Pupils Caught the Disease
at School.
The city health officer does not agree
with the parents of the school chil
dren who were taken down with diph
theria, who entertain the belief that
the young people caught the disease
while in attendance at the Wilder
school. "If they got the diphtheria at
-the school," the health officer stated
this morning, "the're undoubtedly
would be many more cases than have
been reported."
There aire three diphtheria patients
from the school at present and all are
doing nicely.
COLD NI6HTS_ INTERFERE
However Street Commissioner Durick
Is Getting the Pavement In Fair
ly Good Condition.
"The cold nights bother us to some
extent in freeing the streets from the
surplus water which collects in the
gutters after the day's thaw," said
Street Commissioner Durick this morn
ing.
The street department has a large
force of men at work every day dig
ging waterways along the curbstones
and thus affording channels for the
escape of the water which collects in
pools along the streets. At night the
water freezes and in many places the
men have to go over the same work
several consecutive days. However
the streets are In fair condition and a
few more warm days will serve to re
move all the extra snow from the
thoroughfares.
CONVENTlfprS HERE
State Convention of Loyal American
Lodge Will Be Held in Grand
Forks in April.
A regular meeting of the local
Loyal American lodge is slated for
Tuesday, March 12, in the Normanden
hall in this city. At that time a dele
gate to the state convention to be
held on April 18, will be chosen. The
place of holding the state convention
will also be voted upon though this
matter will be only a formal matter
as the other lodges in the state have
already acted in favor of Grand Forks
for the place of holding the conven
tion. The Loyal Americans are fast
gaining a stronghold in North Dakota
and already five strong lodges are in
existance at Fargo, Grandin, Grand
Forks, Caledonia and Kramer.
The meeting of the Grand Forks
lodge on Tuesday night will be fol
lowed by asocial session.

PETITIONS BEING
TODAT
Candidates Who Will Run For
Aldermanic Honors Getting
Signers.
Petitions of the candidates for al
dermanic honors in the city of Grand
Forks are going the rounds today in
the hunt for the necessary thirty
signers. The election will be held the
firBt Monday in April, but from pres
ent Indications it will be pretty much
of a quiet affair. There is no opposi
tion to any candidate and with the
exception of Alderman S. Collins who
have evidenced a desire to withdraw,
the council will probably remain un
changed. John Vallely is out with a
petition in the Sixth ward for Alder
man Collins' place.
The terms of seven expire, Alder
man R. M. Carother's in the first
Sannes in the second O. Young in the
Third M. W. Day in the fourth Buck
ingham in the fifth Collins in the
sixth and Ellestad and Wilder in the
seventh.
Up to noon today not a petition had
been filed with City Auditor O'Connor
though one or two had received the
requisite number of signatures. The
petition of O. Young in the Third was
circulated by friends this morning
and the signers were secured within
a very few minutes. Mr. Young Is
out of the city and will probably ba
away until after election.
School Board Election.
The election of members of the city
school board will be held about the
middle of April. F6ur members are
to be elected the terms of those in the
odd numbered wards expiring:
Don McDonald, M. H. Redick, James

representing the odd wards.

A Word About Buying
To successfully buy and sell Real Estate requires skill and good
judgment Bperience and knowledge is what counts in the HMwto
business as well as in every other line of business endeavor. We are
justified dn saying that our firm posesses both of these requisites, in
other words, we know a good deal when we see it. We do not
everything that Is or might be for sale. We do not offer or try to sell a
$1,500 house for $1,600. If we are asked to put such a property on
our books we refuse to do so. When we offer you a house on North
Eight street in the Four Hundred Block for $1,600, you can depend upon
it that it is the best deal of its kind obtainable in that neighborhood—
therefore consult our columns if you want to buy—and if you have any
thing to sell and are willing to sell for what It is worth, see us.

Death of Miss Everson, Domes
tic of Unknown Antecedents
Puzzles Police.
The police authorities of Pargo are
puzzling over the peculiar death last
evening of a domestic, Miss A. Ever
son by name, whose senseless body
was found late yesterday afternoon on
the street In a resident district The
unconscious form was removed to the
city hall, where the victim died a short
time after without regaining consci

years of age, and beyond the fact of
her name and-age, the police are ab

HE MS.HELD UNDER
FOfi INCEST
Ramsey County Farmer Must
Answer to Serious Charge
in District Court.
B. B. Regan, a farmer was yesterday
bound over to the district court of
Ramsey county under $20,000 bonds on
a charge of incest. Regan was arrest
ed on Wednesday and had his hearing
Thursday afternoon before Judge
Henry.
The arrest of Regan followed an as
sault upon his daughter when she at
tempted to run away from home. The
first charge against him was that of
assault and battery. The girl told
her story in court, and it resulted in
Regan's arrest on the incest charge.
The crime is alleged to have been com*
mitted in September of 1905. The de
fndant has borne a hard name for some
time past. The mother of the girl
died some two years since. The girl
is only 14 years of age.
One lie wouldn't be so bad if you
didn't have to tell halt a dozen to
square it.
