THIS MORNING.
KNEW OF NO REASON FOR COOP
ER SHOOTING HIM—QUARREL
WAS TRIVIAL.
Hillsboro, N. D., Aug. 11.—McLain
Cooper was brought before Judge J.
D. Horn! here today on the charge of
murder in the first degree, it being
claimed that he lulled Frank Hoss. tiie
verdict of the coroner's inquest being
that Cooper was responsible for the

There was a large attendance at the

consisted of seven typewritten pages
I secured from Ross just before he died,

quarrel which they had was only one
of a trivial nature.
Attorney P. G. Swe-nson of llillsboro
and Attorney Tracy Bangs of Grand
Forks appeared for the defense and
States Attorney Niokie appeared for
the state.
It is likely that a special term of

of the case as the next term of court
will not be held until next March.

COL. W. C. GREENE, COPPER KING
OF MEXICO MADE ORIGINAL
SURVEY.
According to the following dispatch
in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, under
date of Aug. 5, from Naco, Ariz., Col.
W. C. Greene, the copper king who died
the Saturday was the man who located
and surveyed Fargo.
The story in the St. Louis Post-Dis
patch is as follows:
Col. C. Wfl Greene, copper magnate
and eattle king of Cananea, Mexieo,
A died today of acute pneumonia. His
J. wife and children were at his bedside.
yr Greene was hurt in a runaway a few
days ago at Cananea. Several of his
ribs were broken. It is believed pneu-
I monia resulted from his inuries.
Colonel Greene rose from a cow
puncher to a multimillionaire and cop
per king, who lost eevrything, and in
later years recouped to some extent his
losses. His ups and downs have attract
ed the atention of two countries.
Colonel Greene led an active life,
years of which were spent in the open,
all sorts of weather. When he had ac
cumulated a fortune of something like
$28,000,000, he lived in New York. He
stopped at the most fashionable hotel,
ate rich foods and drank champaigne.
He lost his fortune and went back to
the bottom.
Colonel Greene was the discoverer of
the king of copper mines, the Cananea.
He found backing in New York, and in
1809 the Greene Consolidated Coper Co.
was born. In four years it became one
of the greatest coper producers of the
world, and was valued in the open
market as high as $35,000,000. Wlien
Greene became over-extended in other
Mexican ventures, the Cole-Ryan organ
ization wrested its control from Greene,
and capitalized it at $60,000,000 in the
1906 copper boom.
Greene also floated the Greene Gold
Silver Co., which- was capitalized at
$25,000,000 the Greene Consolidated
Gold Co., with a capitalization of $5,
000,000 the Sierra II ad re Land & Lum
ber Co. ,with a capitalization of $18,
000,000, and the Guayrapita Copper Co.,
capitalized at $5,000,000.
Green was born in New York state,
in Chippewagua, Aug. 26, 1851. At the
age of 16 he left school, went to New
York City and entered a wholesale tea
house, where he remained three years.
He next assisted in surveying the land
on which Fargo, N. D., now stands. He
next engaged in the cattle and then the
mining bu§iness finally drifting down,
to Soiiora, Mex.
Colonel Greene was a gun fighter of
the old school. He was young in the
days when the man who could ride
hardest, go longest without water and
shoot quickest was the man who "got
the goods" in the great southwest.
NEW LAW IS BEING VIOLATED
Minot Specialist is Being Tried For
Practicing Without License.
Minot, N. D., Aug. 11.—On complaint
of Dr. G. Boy Ringo, Dr. F. X. Offer
man has ben arrested on a charge of
violating the new 1911 law regarding
the licensing of physicians ill the state.
Dr. Ringo charges Dr. Offerman with
"representing to treat and diagnose
diseases of human beings" without
having a state medical license.
The complaint states that Dr. Offer
man has not passed the required state
examination and that his action in
Minot is in violation of Chapter 389,
Section 6, of the 1911 session laws.
Dr. Offerman appeared before Judge
Murray and demanded a preliminary
hearing.
PLUNGED SEVENTY-FIVE FEET
DOWNWARD AND LANDS IN
WATER BELOW.
Minot, X. D., Aug. 11.—Ed. Morlev,
of Butte, Mont., a fireman on the Great
Northern, had a miraculous escape from
death early yesterday morning. Morley
was in charge of two dead engines which
were being taken to St. Paul. It was
2:25 a. m. and No. 1 was due to pass
the freight at the Des Lacs siding. The
train had stopped directly over the
Great Northern reservoir just west of
Des Lacs to allow the switchman to
switch the train to the siding and when
it stopped Morely got off to investigate
a hot box. Instead of stepping onto
terra firma he plunged 75 feet down
ward and landed in the water below,
llis cries for help brought the train
crew to the rescue and the injured man
was taken at once to this city and
placed in St. Joseph's hospital. His
injuries are not serious, however, and
it is expected that he will be out with
in a few days.

COUNTY HAS FAILED TO SEND
IN RETURN8 TO THE STATE
BOARD.
SLOW RETURNS FROM AMBROSE
CITY RESPONSIBLE—PERSON
AL PROPERTY UP.
Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 11.—The state
board of equalization spent a long af
ternoon yesterday in revising and ad
justing the assessment lists of personal
property as returned by the county
boards. The officers comprising the
board are so busy with their regular
official duties that the board meetings
are a great tax upon their time. This
is particularly true of Commissioner of
Agriculture Gilbreath and Attorney
General Miller, who are head over ears
in work in their departments. For this
reason it was decided to abandon the
morning sessions and work double time
in the afternoon. Of course the board
work is right in line with and at pres
ent the major portion of State Audit
or Brightbill's duties. His office force
is taxed to keep up the records for the
use of the board on account of the
changes made in the appraisement of
different items. Governor Burke and
Treasurer Olson are not so pushed in
their offices at this time, but they are
by no means idle.
The failure of Williams county and
Ambrose city iti Divide county to make
a return of the personal is greatly de
laying the work of the board and it
may be necessary to take steps to se
cure the returns if they are not soon
sent in.
Another cause of delay is the failure
of telephone companies to make their
reports. There are yet 125 companies
that have not reported despite the spec
ial notices sent them by State Auditor
Brightbill notifying them of the expi
ration of the time the reports msut un
der the law be made. There is a severe
penalty attached for these delavs" and
the matter has been referred to the at- I
tornev general to take such action as
lie may see fit.
In going over the personal the board
decided to take the personal appraise
ment of 1910 as a basis for fixing the
assessments this year. While Ihere may
be some small percentage of changes
the rates will no doubt stand about as
follows:
Horses—One year old, $15 two years
old, $24 three years old and over,
$36.00. Stallions $170.00.
Cattle—One year old, $6.00 two
years old, $10.00 cows three years old
and over, $10.00 wor koxen, $18.00.
All others, three years old and over,
$20.00.
Mules—One year old, $17.00 two
years old, $25.00 three years old and
over, $36.00.
Sheep—Sheep were assessed at $1.60
a head.
Hogs—Hogs were appraised at $3.00
a head.
Sleighs and sleds were placed at $5.00
each.
Bicycles were left as fixed by the
county boards with an average value
of about $3.00. The apprised value
on wagons and carriages was left as
fixed by the county boards with an av
erage value of about $8.00. The ap
praised calue on wagons and cariages
was left as fixed by the county boards.
The appraised value of automobiles
was equalized at $116.00 each.
Pianos were placed at $60.00, which
is $5.0 under the appraisement of 1910.
Household furniture was left as fixed
by the counties..
STRANGER SLEPT ON HIPPO
DROME BAKERY INNOCENT
OF CLOTHES.
From the New York Sun:
No sooner had the martial strains of
"Marehing Through Georgia" and
"Turkey in th' Straw" ceased to vi
brate through the Moorish minarets
of the Hipodrome, no sooner had the
summer closing shingle been hung,
than to the Venetian balcony fire es
capes there came a stranger in the
night. There nightly of late has he
doffed two pairs of trousers and one
pair of purple socks and, spreading a
newspaper over the grating ust above
the "Family circle" sign on Forty
third street, he lias lain down innocent
of clothes, under the canopy of heaven
to rest.
In the humidity of the early after
noon yesterday Billy Coleman and Joe
Curran sat in front of Henry Stella's
express office on Forty-third street and
chewed the disgusting tooth-pick. The
barren wall of the show house across
the way offered scant food for human
discourse. But on the lower balcony
there suddenly fluttered to their gaze
two pairs of truosers and several blue
garments that waved in the wind. A
tousled white head surveyed the sky
with a yawn, while limbs as innocent
of vestments as at birth some 60-odd
years ago stood unprotected to the pub
lic eye and hot rain drops that fell.
Bared heads in the streets, unheed
ful of rain drops, stood and gazed,
stood at rest. Carefully the ancient of
days high up the show house wall
folded up his bed. With care he drew
on the blue garments and the two pair
of trousers. He moved with delibera
tion, all unconscious of the public stare.
"Hey, beat it," he was advised from
below. "Here comes th' cop."
Short in the wrath that ends the
night before the rising sun ne'er so
short as the time consumed in climb
ing down tfrom his lofty fresh air
couch. He deposited the bedding in a
waste paper can around the corner and
to inquirers said that he'd slept there
for a week but that there was too
much noise, and while the fresh air had
advantages he liked Charley Scott's
ice house over near the river in the
Thirties much better because it was
cooler and quieter. Then he sauntered
down Sixth avenue.
ALEXANDRIA AGAIN WINS.
Alexandria, Minn., Aug. 11.—The Col
ored Gophers dropped their third game
here yesterday, Alexandria winning by
a score of 8 to 5 and making it three
straight from the colored players. This
also makes it seven straight games from
the Colored Gophers this season. John
son was opposed to Finnegan, the Alex
andria pitcher, and while each pitched
a good game, the hitting was a little
freer than in the first two games. In
the opening of the seventh the visitors
tied the score, getting three runs, one
of which was a forced run. Brown get
ting a pass with the bases full. Hits,
Alexandria !), Colored Gophers 10. Bat
teries, Finnegan and Porte Johnson

BUCK'S SPINAL CORD SEVERED
Victim of Insane Flnlander Paralyzed
from Arms Down.
Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 11.—Chris
Buck, the founder of the town of Edin
burg, who was shot by an insane Pin
lander several days ago, will not re
cover. He lies in a local hospital para
lyzed from the arms down. The bullet
passed through the left side of the
neck, severed the spinal cord and lodg
ed against a bone on the Tight side. An
S A{
WERE FOUND NOT GUILTY AT
HEARING AT TOWNER UNDER
DIRECTION OF MR. DUIS.
LOOKING UP MATTERS THERE TO
DAY—SAYS MEN RUN DOGS
ALONG HIGHWAY.
District Game Warden Jack Duis of
Devils Lake who yesterday went to
Towner to investigate the complaints
made by Towner citizens against the
promiscuous running of dogs at a point
seven miles south of Towner, found
that there was nothing to the. affair,
the defendants, Messrs. Gilchrist, Bazell
and McDonald being found not guilty
of the charges.
Mr. Duis is at Leeds today and in
a telephone message to The World the
information is given that the trainers
wer doing everything within the limit
of the law in training their dogs and
were running tliem on the highway and
not through the fields. Nothing result
ed from the information aaginst the
various Russians charged with shoot
ing chickens out of season.
FERGUS FALL3 MAN TELLS SHER
IFF HE HEARD MEN PLOT
TRAIN BOBBERY.
Fergus Falls, Minn., Aug. 11.—Arnold
Hartman, a lo-'al blacksmith, arrived
here today and repor.-.ed to Sheriff Bill
ings that an attempt was made to
the Winnipeg Limited train cn the
Great Northern railway a short distance
from Fargo a week or more ago and
for whoso capture the Northern Pacific
company is offering rewards aggregat
ing $7,500.
Mr. Hartman told the sheriff that he
was walking to Gariield late in the
evening, and when a!'» ut two miles
from the village southeast of thin city,
he was
overtaken by a shower of rain
aml took
refuge in a slianty vliich the
railway company had erected for stor
age purposes. The place was (lose to a
bridge, and while he was waiting for
the storm to pass, four men drove up in
a big automobile and stopped a short
distance from the shanty.
"This is as good a place as any to
do the job," he heard one of them
remark, and with an oath, the fellow
sprang from the machine.
The others followed, and one of them
brought out a telegraph instrument and
a coil of wire. They then began dig
ging around a telegraph pole, for what
purpose he does not know, and a few
minutes later one of the men climbed
the pole and attached a wire to the
wires above. Silence followed, but one
finally demanded of the other whether
he had not received a message. He
could not catch the answer, but it was
apparently in the negative, and the
other man cursed the delay.
Mr. Hartman, at about this time,
thought it would be well for him to
leave the locality, and he crawled quiet
ly away from the shanty, and after
crawling some little distance crossed
the track. Lightning flashed at this
time and one of them caught sight of
him.
"We must get that fellow," the sup
posed bandit called to his companions,
and the men started in pursuit, liart
man eluded his pursuers. He could i-ee,
when the lightning flased, that they
were carrying revolvers.
Mr. Hartman went on to a farm
house and told his story. Later he re
ported to the Evansville village coun
cil, which was in session, and came to
this city today to notify the authorities
here.
YOUNG FELLOW AT ASHLEY, N.
D., HUNG HIMSELF—REASON
A MYSTERY.
Ashley, N. D., Aug. 11.—Jacob Hoff,
a son of Adam Hoff, living in the Hell
wigg neighborhood about 20 miles
northeast of Ashley, committed suicide
by hanging.
The boy with his father and other
help had returned from their work in
the fields, and unhitched the teams and
all except this boy went into the house
for dinner. After waiting a short while
a little 6-year-old girl was sent out to
call Jacob for dinner, but receiving no
answer to her call the little girl went
to the barn, where she found him hang
ing from a rope. She immediately ran
to the house and notified the others.
One of the unfortunate boy's brotners
quickly ran out and cut the rope, but
it was too late he was dead.
The suicide tied two short ropes to
gether and fastened them to the ceil
ing of the barn, and standing on a pail
tied the rope around h:s neck, then
kicked the pail out from under him.
The reason of the young man's rash
deed is a mystery.
WROTE HIS NAME ON SIDE OF
THE G. N. DEPOT AT EAST
GRAND FORKS.
WAS KTr.T.P.n RAILROAD ACCI
DENT AT CROOKSTON, MINN.,
—HEAD WAS CRUSHED.
Otto Hilberg Read in Papers and Re
membered That He Wrote His Name
Togehter With the Name of the Un
known Man on Depot—Identified the
....Body in This Manner.
Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 12.—That
a name written on the side of a depot
should be the means of identifying a
man is indeed peculiar, but is the case
of John Condon, of Bloomington, 111.,
who wrote his name on the side of the
depot wall of the Great Northern at
East Grand Forks, Minn., before taking
his fatal ride.
Condon was killed at Crookston the
first of this week when his head was
crushed to a jelly. There was nothing
to identify the fellow and no one seem
ed to know him. The accounts were
published in papers over the state and
Otto Hillberg remembered that it
might be a fellow who he was with at
East Grand Forks that evening. Hil
berg went to Crookston and identified
the man but did not remember the
name.
Hilberg stated that the two were at
East Grand Forks together and that
they had written their names on the
side wall of the depot, together with
the addresses. The officials at East
Grand Forks were notified and last
night searched the walls of the depot
for the name, finally discovering that
of John Condon, of Bloomington, 111.,
together with Hilberg's. Hilberg re
membered the name when it was given
him, thus the body of the unknown man
was identified and relatives at Bloom
ington notified.

A. OTTO, The Painter
Glacier National park.
The red skins' antipathy, it was dis
covered, was not so much a supersti
tion but rather a repulsion which they
found in the Indian name "Chicago,"
the translation of which means "stink
weed" and they gave expression to
it by holding their noses and retreating
to the interior of the reservation, when
Major Lohnuller, the Indian agent,
tried to get thetn to furnish a little
entertainment for the party of exploit
ing newspaper men, who are bent on
finding in the Glacier Park the top of
the continent, where the melting snows
flow three ways into the Hudson Bay,
the Pacific ocean and the Gulf of Mex
ico.
At Minot, N. D., the party received a
telegram from Major Lagon, superin
tendent of the Glacier National park,
that guides just out of the interior re
ported conditions on the snow capped
mountains now are just right for the
daring members of the press party to
make the dash for the much sought ice
peak goal.
Five hundred feet of rope has been
provided with which to tie the four
teen newspaper men together in making
the perilous ascent. Four of Major Lo
gan's best guides will accompany the
newspaper men of St. Paul, Minneapo
lis and Chicago on this journey above
the clouds.
T. J. Dillon of the Seattle Post-In
telligencer has been commissioned by
his paper to join the exploring party
and he is aboard a Great Northern
train rushing eastward and will meet
the "See America First" expedition
Saturday morning.
