6M HOT IN CONTEST

William Treuman Takes First Place and Miss Tena M.

Kocourek Second.

The annual North Dakota high school declamation contest -was held Saturday evening in the First Bap­tist church, that edifice being crowded. The judges awarded first place to William Treuman, of Grafton. Second place was taken by Miss Tena M. Kocourek, of Lidgerwood.

The contest was opened by an organ solo by Prof. Field, highly appreciated by the audience. Miss Mary M. Dun-levy, Hillsboro, then gave the first declamation. "Captain January," a piece full of pathos, was excellently rendered. She interpreted the char­acters in a manner that thrilled the audience, and in a way that is sel­dom seen in Buch a contest.

This was followed by Miss Marguer­ite Halliday, of Cavayer, who had for her declamation, "The Gypsy Flower Girl." This highly dramatic piece was excellently recited the speaker putting all the fire and energy into it that even the author could wish.

This was followed 'by the Lidger­wood girl, Miss Tena M. Kocourek. "The Sioux Chief's Daughter," her declamation, took second place in the contest. Miss Kocourek gave the lines of the piece in a manner that won for her the admiration of all.

Miss Pauline Allen then rendered a vocal solo, and was heartily encored.

The Williston representative rend­ered "The (Jreater Republic" Mr. Shafer is a good speaker, and seemed right at home .before the audience.

Then came the winning declamation by William Treuman. He recited "Spartacus to the Gladiators." With sincerity, fire and spirit he rendered the declamation, and the fact that he won first place in so good a contest is praise enough in itself.

Miss Ruth Tweed followed with "How LeRue Lost the Stakes." The declamation in itself very simple, was effectively rendered. Her work was excellent

While the judges, Judge C. F. Tem-pleton, Rev. J. F. Burleson and Rev. W. H. Matthews conferred, Frank Snell rendered "A Rose in Summer," which was highly appreciated. The announcement of the decision was then made by President Merrifield, who presided. The winners received 912 and $8 respectively, for first and •second places.

FORKS THIRTY YEHO

Peter Stoughton One of Old Timers Landed Here May

20,1877.

Just thirty years ago today Peter Stoughton of this city stepped from a Red river packet -liner and made his way up the river bank to Grand Forks, consisting then of a few scat­tered residences and shacks with five or six business houses huddled to­gether like so many scared cattle.

Mr. Stoughton or Agonally, hailed from Lenark, Ont, but egged on iby the stories of the 'wonderful wealth of the mysterious west, he bought pas­sage as far as the transportation facilities afforded and on May 20, 1877, landed at the terminus of the line-Fishers landing now the village of Fisher ten miles east of Grand Forks. Between Fishers landing and this city on the Red Lake, a fleet of little steamers plied their busy trade, and Mr. Stoughton stepped aboard with that solitary feeling which has caught many a pioneer.

"When I stepped out onto the bank at the foot of DeMers avenue and looked up at the few scattered build­ings, little could 1 grasp the wealth of the surrounding country," said the pioneer this morning. "The only ho­tel in the city worthy of mention was the old Hudson Bay hotel, manned by John Fadden, Sr., father of Dick and John Fadden of Larimore. By the way, a part of this hotel now stands as the park portion of the Arlington Park hotel. There was another, not so pretentious hostelry^this building also stands today, located directly (back of the Ingalls hotel where it was moved when the owner, Captain Ma-loney decided upon the building of the Ingalls house.

"TVwo of the originate who have since risen to prominence and now re­side in the city, are D. M. Holmes and William Budge. Captains McCormick and Griggs figured in every progres­sive move. The Red river at that time presented an animated view. There were no less than five passenger and freight steamers running on the Red, that being the time when through traf­fic operations opened up between the Twin Cities and Fort Gary, now Win­nipeg. There was also a stage line 'between the cities and the fort. Grand Forks and Fargo being stage stations •where the relays were kept There was generally lots of excitement on the way—stage robberies, etc. in those days, and withal, everything was busy.

"Where most of the new pavement is to be laid," continued Mr. Stough­ton, "the grass was growing vigorous­ly a foot in height in those old days. The grass wasn't the only thing that was springing, however, as those were the exciting days of the gold fever in the Black hills, and stories of sudden wealth were sticking out from every corner. I remember just a few days after my blowing into town, 'Billy' Budge and Eshelman returned from the scene of the craze."

Soon after striking the state, Mr. Stoughton settled on a homestead! north of town along the Soo right-of-way. Mr. Stoughton in looking back-, ward over the course of thirty years, marvels at the wonderful growth of the country and the change, not only in persons, but in landscape, in farm­ing methods and in the customs of the people.

BIG DAMAGE ACTION MAY NOT BE

TRIED Probable That Settlement Will

Be Reached Some Time Today in Case.

The case of Clara Clark against the Great Northern railroad, an action started some time ago to recover dam­ages in the sum of $20,000, may not come to trial at the term of the United States court to 'be convened in Fargo Tuesday.

This case is in the hands of Attor­ney Wineman and he announced this afternoon that it would probably be settled before evening. In case no settlement is reached, it will come to trial this week or next.

Mrs. Clark is a Thompson woman. About a year ago, while in the depot at Hillsboro waiting for a train, the seat which she was using collapsed, throwing her to the floor.

1F. MUMS" WIS FL

Theatrical Man By That Name With "Virginian" Was

Registered Here

TWO DAYS AFTER BIG BARTLETT WRECK

In Which He is Supposed to Have Perished—May Still

Be Living.

Did Harry F. Adams, of Rock Lake, N. D., perish in the wreck of the Oriental Limited at Bartlett on Mon­day morning April 8?

This is the question that has been puzzling the relatives, the authorities and the railroad officials for the past week, with not a clue to help unravel the mysterious disappearance and not a trace of the man's actions after writ­ing his wife from Duluth that he would be home on April 9.

Today, however, through the com­bined efforts of Day Clerk Peake of the Hotel Dacotah and .a representative of the Evening Times, a clue was found which may do much toward a solution of the problem—a clue which points toward the conclusion that the missing man did not perish in the Great Northern wreck.

The wreck occurred on Monday morning, April 8. On Wednesday, April 10 a man registered at the Hotel Antlers in this city, a member of the Virginian cast which played at the Metropolitan on that night. This man's name was Harry F. Adams.

The Harry F. Adams of Rock Lake was a theatrical man and had just closed an engagement in Minnesota according to the statements of his wife. Another important item going to show that Adams was not a wreck victim is that his baggage, which was shipped to Rock Lake arrived on April 9 notwithstanding the fact that all baggage and mail on the ditched train was consumed in the flames. This had been accounted for by the fact that whenever practicable baggage was sent out on the local trains to relieve the Orientals.

"The fact that Harry F. Adams was registered at a Grand Forks hotel two days after the wreck shows pretty clearly that he did not perish in the Bartlett wreck," said one of the police authorities today in speaking of .the matter.

A plausible explanation of the mat­ter is that Adams came to this city expecting to leave for home the next day. After shipping his baggage he probably came across the "Virginian" management and secured a position in the troupe. With regard to his later actions nothing can be said.

Received Letter. The finding of the signature on the

' Antler's register was brought about through a letter which Mr. Peake of the Hotel Dacotah received on Sunday from Mrs. Harry F. Adams of Rock Lake. The letter reads as follows:

' Will' you kindly look in your register and see if Harry F. Adams was in your hotel at any time from April 7 to 15 inclusive. I have not heard from him since he wrote me he was coming home. I am penniless save for father's charity and have a five month's old baby. I am afraid my husband perished in the wreck of the Oriental Limited at Bartlett Very respectfully,

Mrs. Harry F. Adams, Rock Lake, N. D. Mrs. Adams is a daughter of Editor

Treadwell of the Rock Lake Ripples and she has retained Attorney Resler of Starkweather to take charge of her case with the evident intention of bringing suit against the railroad company.

On Baft of Logs When Wreck Delayed Their Train.

Mrs. Louis Andrasko and Mrs. James McDonald, both of Grand Forks, were on the Northern Pacific passenger train which 'became stalled this side of the freight train wreck at Twin Valley Friday evening. In a let­ter received this morning by Mr. An­drasko, who is a member of the Evening Times force, she tells of her experience at 2 o'clock in the morning when they were informed that a wreck had occurred ahead, and with torches they proceeded across the river on log rafts, and from time to time the con­ductor would give orders to the party to "go to the- right" and "go to the left" as they were crossing the stream.

ONE CAUSE_IF SCARCITY Grand Forks Man Says Enforcement

of Prohibition Laws Is Respon­sible for Labor Shortage.

A unique reason has been advanced by a prominent Grand Forks resident as to the cause for the shortage of la­bor in North Dakota.

He lays it to the activity of state's attorneys who, during the past few months have been very vigilant on matters pertaining to the enforcement of the prohibition laws of North Da­kota. The result has been a big short­age of booze. The news of this drought has gone into the labor head­quarters of Minnesota, where the largest number of men come from dur­ing the spring. The fact that there Is no booze around, he claims, has re­sulted in 'these laborers going to Mon­tana.

It is a weil known fact that many carloads of laborers have been shipped through this state to Montana during the past few weeks.

LINTON IN THE COUNTY JAIL Man Arrested Some Time Ago On

Charge of Raising Disturbance, Finally Placed Behind Bars.

A. W. Linton is in duTance vile. About a month ago, Linton and a •:

man named Coleman were arrested by Officer Coan while raising a dis­turbance in the Chinese restaurant. They were given fines of $10 or thirty days in jail by Judge McLoughlin. Both men were employed at Larimore, and they promised to remit the fine at an early date, and with that under­standing were allowed freedom. How­ever, they failed to remit, and this morning when Linton came to Grand Porks to draw his pay, Officer Coan got him again. The prisonr was at once committed to the county jail by Judge McLoughlin, and he is confined there now. It is expected that he will endeavor .to settle tomorrow.
