FOUGHT INN. P. RESTAURANT.

General Fight Results in Some Gore Being Spilled and Faces

Disfigured.

There was a warm session in the Northern Pacitic restaurant shortly after 7 o'clock Thursday evening. A number of men who had been working on the N. P. extension from Bowdon west arrived on the J. & N. trait). They had been scrapping quite a little on the trip. All were in bad shape as a result of too many gln-rickies of the Bowdon knock-out variety and did not know exactly where they were at They had been drinking together and just what started the mix-up is not known. A little fellow delivered a blow si miliar to that of Young Cor bett in the case of McGovern and his opponent was counted out. Others mixed in and finally a railroad man took a hand and threw the scrappers out. Some of them were badly bruised and bloody noses were in evidence. The cool air had the effect of clearing their befuddled brains and when they returned they were more peaceful. The little fellow who had knocked out his opponent did not come back right away. He stayed out and the fellow who had been hit hardest ac­companied by a friend started for a hotel threatening as he left, UI will get him yet." Later the champion scrapper returned but there was no further trouble. All went east on the delayed Northern Pacific train.

Policeman Russell arrived a few minutes after the light was over but no arrests were made.

Bullet Removed.

Fargo Forum: Jack Broderick of McHenry was brought to St. John's Hospital Sunday for the purpose of having a bullet removed from his body. The bullet went in one hip and lodged in the other. The operation, which was a very delicate one, was performed with entire success and the patient is resting easily. It appears that Broderick got into trouble with Jim Rice on Thanksgiving Day, who it is said conducts a resort at Mc­Henry. There were several involved^ and Rice is alleged to have attempted to drive them from his place of busi­ness with a revolver. Broderick left all right but returned shortly when Rice was out. Returning a little later Rice opened hostilities again, Broder­ick making an attempt to break for the door, when a bullet struck him. Rice was arrested and taken to Car-rington. Broderick did not suffer much, but it was thought best to re­move the bullet.

Large Land Sale.

Bismarck Tribune: It is reported from parties interested across the river that the recent purchase of land there by W. II. Brown aggregated (5:3,000 acres instead of 50,000 acres as stated and the land was bought from the Morton County Land company. This is the largest sale thus far made by that company and the members made a considerable protit on their speculation. The land is south of the Heart river, west of Fort Rice and is desirable agricultural land. Mr. Brown will put settlers upon the land and dispose of it through his various agencies, at Richholt's.

Detention Hospital,

Improvements on the new detention hospital in the Third ward are now nearly all completed. A kitchen and four bedrooms are now ready and the other rooms will soon be finished. There will be nine rooms in the house. The building has been painted white

,rfs£v

Hon. D. W. Luke of Grand Forks has just received a letter from George D. McLead, formerly of Grand Forks, who is now a member of Company C, Ninth United States infantry, now in the Island of Samar. The following are extracts from it:

On Thursday, June 13, we started from Manila for Samar to do three month's campaigning, and we were then to return to the United States. But we are here yet. During the sum­mer we have had some lively exper­iences with the natives, and there have been many deaths and a number of narrow escapes. One day a mem­ber of our company took a couple 01"

prisoners over to a small island near by to get a supply of good drinking water, which is very scarce. A body of niggers who were lying in wait rush­ed upon him and took him prisoner We have heard nothing from him since.

On September 1st, a corporal and 12 privates went out among the hills about six miles from Basey to see if the telephone wa? in working order They found the line all right and had started back when about 200 bolomen jumped out from the long grass where they had been hidden and began to cut and slash right and left. Corporal Wise, who was my most intimate friend, was killed instantly. Private McManus was wounded and lived only forty minutes, and Private Stetler lived three days. Both of these men enlisted with me. Private Swanson wounded, but will recover. The rest of the party got back to catrp after killing about fifty of the enemy. The next day the rest of the company went out and could find only scattering Filipinos.

On September 28 occurred the greatest massacre since the time of Custer. Company C of this regiment was stationed at Balangiga, about fifteen miles from here, and at 6:30 on Sunday morning, while the men were at breakfast, there was an alarm. The signal yell was given by a native who had been supposed to be friendly and who was chief of police of Balangiga. Immediately the church bells were rung and niggers came running from all sides on the men of Company C. The men were unarmed, and their guns were upstairs in the barracks. When the alarm was given they ran to their quarters for their arms, but found the stairways guarded by armed men who cut them down as fast as they could reach the stairease. After a hot light some of our men got by and secured their arms, the natives thereupon taking to their heels, tak­ing about fifty rifles with them. The few who were left gathered the wounded together and started down the river for Basey in a boat, two of the wounded dying on the way.

There were about 400 or 500 Fili­pinos in the party. It was not un­usual to see this many of them about the city, as there were three hundred of them working about the quarters cutting grass. Others were hidden in the brush, which was very thick. All the natives had professed to be friend­ly-

The handful of men who escaped were just in time, as they had hardly got under way before the niggers made a second rush, and had the boys been a few minutes later not one of them would have been left.

The attack was made on the guards first and then the officers were cut down. The major was killed in bed. Lieutenant Bumpas was killed in bed and his head was cut off. The cap­tain jumped out of the window which was about 20 feet from the ground, and there were several bolomen there to receive him. He was badly wound­ed and was burned to death within an hour. Four of the privates were burned to death. Our company was sent to the town the next day, and we saw the most terrible sight that I have ever witnessed. Out of the 71 members of the company 45 were kill­ed, eight have not yet been accounted for and eleved were wounded, so that out of the entire party there were but seven able bodied men left. Two of the wounded died on the way to Basey and two have since died. The niggers captured sixty rifles and about 2,500 rounds of ammunition.

Waste

Owing to the passenger train No. 12 being sent around by way of LaMoure a gentleman and bis wife from. Daw­son, Alaska, spent Saturday in the

cily and left in the evening for Cas-selton, from which point they go to Aneta to visit. They wore clothing suitable for the Alaskan climate and felt quite comfortable here, although the temperature was between 17 and 30 below all day. In the afternoon the man took his wile out for a ride in a sled drawn by two dogs and the couple attracted considerable atten­tion on account of their strange out­fit. The lady said the climate in Alaska was very cold, but as they had plenty to do they did not notice it much. They spent over four years in the vicinity of Dawson, where they have valuable claims and made some money. They will return there in the spring.

Pete LaBrasche of Jamestown Struck By a Handcar and Thrown

from the Track.

Brakeman LaBrasche of theN. P. had a narrow escape from probable death near Mapleton Wednesday. He was sent on ahead of the train to flag another train. The steam escaped in such a cloud that he was somewhat blinded and did not see an approach­ing handcar. The car was going in one direction and he in the other. The result was that they met. LaBrasche was thrown backward off the track and slightly bruised and the handcar was also tumbled off the track. La­Brasche was picked up and broughtrto Fargo where he was examined for in­ternal injuries. His leg was swollen a little above the knee, but otherwise he was not injured. He was pretty badly shaken up, however, and will rest a little while.

Mr. LaBrasche returned to James­town and thinks he will be able to re­sume work in a few days.

Alleged Horse Thief.

Arthur Chenoweth was arrainged Tuesday in court at Medora charged with the theft of 120 horses belonging to the Little Missouri Horse Company valued at $36,000. An affidavit of prejudice was filed against Judge Win­chester and the court adjourned to Feb. 14, when the trial will take place. Chenoweth is in jail in default of $5,-000 bonds.

Why She Vsi .Hurried. It Is queer how ironclad is the hold

of convention and conventiouiil con­siderations. They have a tighter grip and a wider influence than law, rea­son, sentiment or ethics itself. A wom­an whose marriage may be termed mediumly successful admitted can­didly not long ago that at tlie very last moment never, never would she have married her husband had it not been for the thought of all the conventional considerations involved.

"On the way to our wedding," said the woman, "we had the most awful kind of a row that made nie vow in­wardly never, never to marry him. Then at the thought of the ceremony to come off at a friend's house, the breakfast that, thanks to her, was pre­pared and the invited guests, and how they would all talk at any change of plan, I grit my teeth and went through it. But it was the thought of the con­ventions alone that kept me up. Mo other possible pressure could have in­duced me to marry him after such a row as we had on our way to the wed­ding."—New York Sun.

They take a young plant, say a seedling or a cut­ting of cedar when two or three Inches high, cut off its taproot as soon as It has enough other rootlets to live upon and replant It In a shallow pot or pan, allowing the end of the taproot to rest npon the bottom of the pan. Alluvial clay molded to the size of beans and just sufficient In quantity to furnish a •canty nourishment is then put into the pot. Water, beat and light are per­mitted on the same basis.

The Chinese also use various me­chanical contrivances to promote sym­metry of growth. As, owing to the shallow pots, both top and roots are taslljr accessible, the .gardener uses the

Great Memories Otto Schultze, a stenographer, wrote

In the Brandenburg Seliulblatt that Bismarck had a wonderful memory "When he had delivered a two hours' speech and looked over our shorthand reports the next day, he remembered every expression he had used exactly and did not forget them for years."

The novelist Spielhagen once told Schultze that he could recall vividly every one of the thousands of persons he had met in his life and every word spoken by casual acquaintances, to­gether with their gestures and the cut of their hair and clothes.

. A Clara Vorrl'i IStyT 1

Clara Morris related this story In Mo-Clure's Magazine of her production of miss Mii'*on:"

"The play had twice failed In Paris, which was, to say the least, discourag­ing. But after brief reflection 1 con­cluded I would risk It, and then, just by way of encouragement, Mr. Cazau-ran declared that all my acquired skill and natural power of expressing emo­tion would prove useless to me, that 'Miss Multon* was to be my Waterloo, and to all anxious and surprised 'Whys?* he sapiently made answer, 'No children.' His argument was that, not being a mother In reality, I could not be one In imagination.

"Always lacking In self confidence, these words made my heart sink, but the ever ready jest came bravely to the fore to hide my hurt from the public eye, and at the next rehearsal I shook my head mournfully and remarked to the little man: 'Bad—bad! Miss Cush-man must be a very bad Lady Mac­beth. I don't want to see her!'

"'What!' he exclaimed. 'Cushman not play Lady Macbeth! For heaven's sake, why not?'

" 'No murderess!' I declared, with an air of authority recognized by those about me as a fair copy of his own. 'If Miss Cushman is not a murderess, pray how can she act Lady Macbeth, who Is?'"

One of Sandow'a Trlefca. One day in a London tobacconist's

shop Sandow, the strong man, was handed some change, and in the middle of it he saw something that looked like a bad shilling. He pushed it back across the counter. "I think that one Is bad," he said.

"Nonsense," said the shopkeeper, with an incredulous air. He took up the shilling and tried it in the little brass coin tester that was screwed to the side of the counter. Then he ten­dered it again. "It's quite good," he said. "I can't bend it."

Sandow smiled and took It between his finger and thumb. "You can't bend It! May I try?" he asked.

"Certainly," said the man, with a grin.

The strong man pressed the tip of his forefinger toward the tip of his thumb and the spurious coin bent like tissue paper.

"Well," said the tobacconist dum-founded, "it looks lfke a wrong 'un after all! Perhaps you will accept an­other?"

And Sandow did.

A Circular Rainbow. A member of a party who made an

ascent of Finsterrehorn some years ago thus described a novel sight which delighted the tired climbers: The day we mounted the Finsterrehorn we were treated to the rare sight of a cir­cular rainbow, the phenomenon lasting nearly half an hour and forming a complete circle. There were heavy clouds lying some 4,000 feet below on the Aar glacier, and It was on these that the beautiful, brilliantly colored ring lay. A second circle was also visi­ble. We were near the summit of the peak when the first of the party ob­served it, and from that point the face of the mountain on the Grimsel side i3 almost perpendicular, giving us a Bplendid view.

A Illcliter Anecdote. It Is not always the great conductor

that shines as a composer, though un­fortunately he often labors under the delusion that such is the case. On one occasion Hans Itiehter was present at a concert given by a brother composer, at which the latter performed a long and not particularly interesting work of his own.

When the composition came to an end, Richter expressed his criticism in a very few words. "Well," he said, "I, too, liaf written compositions to make a pile so high"—raising his hand three feet from the ground—"but I haf burn­ed them!"

Nlcoly Graded. It is still a tradition that the people

of Manchester, England, should gibe at Liverpool with the proverb, "A Man­chester man, a Liverpool gentleman," but, it is said, classification is not so strongly marked in Lancashire as la the old days.

When stagecoaches were running, a guard was once asked, "Who has tba' getten inside, Billy?" Billy consulted his list and replied, "A gentlemon fra Liverpool, a mon fra Manchester, a chap fra Owdham and a fellow fra Wigan."

Payer Covered Books. The life of the paper covered books

that accumulate on everybody's bands and among which one sometimes finds one she would like to keep may be pro longed by this process: Cut a piece ot gingham or print a trifle larger than the cover. Paste It to the paper cov­ers and trim the edges. Dry under a weight and letter the title on the cov­er. The cloth should be In one piece.

Every woman in the country ought to know about

MMIer's Friend Thou* who do know about it-wonder how they ever got along without it It has robbed child­birth of its terrors for many a young wife. It has preserved her girlish figure and saved her much suffering. It is an external lini­ment and carries with it therefore, absolutely no danger of upsetting the system as drugs taken intern­ally are apt to do. It is to be rubbed into the abdomen to soften and strengthen the muscles which are to bear the strain. This means much less pain. It also prevents morning sickness and all of the other discomforts of pregnancy.

A druggist of Macon, Ga., says: " I have sold a large quantity of Mother's Friend and nave never known an instance where it has failed to produce the good results claimed for it."

A prominent lady of Lam-berton, Ark., writes: " With my fint sis children 1 was in labor from 34 to 30 hours. After using Mother's Friend, my seventh was born in 4 hours."
