While the exact cost can not ‘yet be ascertained because of interest charges still accruing, it is probable i the cost will be somewhat less than ~ previously estimated, the state en- - gineer said. > Mr. Robinson said that engineers . for the Northern Pacific railroad had verbally agreed on a plan for build- “ing an underpass on the read be-| tween the bridge and Mandan, and that he was informed that plans; were now being prepare: by the rail- “road company. The proposed underpass will en- tail a great deal of work, as the road will pass under the main line and the Mandan north and south branches of the Northern Pacific, at their junction a considerable dis- tance. from the point of present crossing of the main line track. All three tracks will have to be raised 12 feet to make possible an under- pass with practically no: depresston. One of the problems considered, Mr. Robinson said, was whether the raising of the tracks at the junction would necessitate raising the tracks on a low stretch between the road crossing and the hridge. This low stretch is looked upon by the rail- road engineers as a waterway in time of flood of the Missouri river, he said, and the engineers feared that if it were necessary to raise the’ track on this stretch such a wate| pressure would be created in time; of: flood that the Northern Pacific bridge would be washed out. This objection has been met in the gen- eral plans sketched, he said. It is probable that no work on the underpass will be done this year. The estimated cost is $73,000. Two young men were killed a few weeks ago by collision of an automobile and a Northern Pacific train at the; main line crossing west of the:river, | SUES GUMMER AND MRS, GASE Hans Wick, Father of Mur- dered Girl, Asks Damages Fargo, N. D., Sept.—Hans Wick of Grygla, Minn, father of Marie Wick who was murdered in the Prescott hotel a year ago last sum- mer by William Gummer, now serv- ing a life sentence for the crime! in the state penitentiary at Bis- marck, has brought a civil suit joint-| ly against Gummer and Mrs, Anna E. Case, asking $10,000 damages be- cause of the killing of his daughter. The action has been filed in Cass} county district court and probably will be tried at the November term of ‘court. J. E. Hendrickson of Fargo and C. G. Dosland of Moorhead, attor- neys for Wick, have secured an in-| junctional order from the Cass coun-| “ty “district court, enjoining both Gummer and Mrs, Case from incum- “bering or disposing of any real or! personal Property in their posses- sion. Mrs. Case was known throughout| the murder trial as Mrs, Lawrence,| ‘= her former name.

CADIDATES THRILLED AS LAST HOUR OF CAMPAIGN DRAWS NEAR Clock Ticking Away Bring Pluckiest to Seconds Which Will Desired Goal; Judges Announced and Final Result of Campaign Now Entirely Up to Candidates. . ... Saturday night—September 23 at 8 o'clock. That is the magic day and hour when The Tribune’s $10,000 Auto mobile and Prize campaign will close, bringing to an end the great- est newspaper circulation building campaign that has yet stirred Bis- marck and all surrounding territory. Four days—96 hours—yes, it can al- most be counted in minutes. , And the candidates, enthused to the highest degree, aware of the unprecedented opportunities, that confront-them, striving by hard and earnest effort to rise, battling with every ounce of . strength at — their command to increase their reserve. . Combing the Field Everywhere candidates are swarm- ing in eager and anxious quest for subscriptions that will bring them the big votes—and every hour that passes instills new energy into them. This campaign has evoked an in- tense int‘erest, not only because of the many popular candidates en- tered, but also because of the many valuable prizes in‘store for the win- ners. The few hours that remain before the call of “time” are being utilized to immense advantage by those who are determined to win— and of these there are many. Their own pride and self-satisfaction -in proving energetic enough to win over the field, coupled with the desire to qualify the confidence and loyal support of their friends, are lead- ing them forward to the cherished goal with never a glance, behind. Misleading Stories The wise candidates pay no atten- tion to frequent rumorss that cir- culate with the hope of damaging effect. Misleading stories have but one object—to influence some can- didates to retire for fear of their passing someone else in the — race. Such ; tales - have no foundation, whatsoever. It is obvious that no one can determine the ultimate re- sult of this campaign. Everyone has an equal chance with the. others. No one knows how many reserve ballots another candidate may have. The subscriptions, mostly new ones, are coming in to the campaign de- partment literally in handfuls., And when it is considered that all. can- the final outcome will, no ‘doubt, be exceedingly close. Every worker is in the dark to the number of votes his competi- tors may have. Therefore, no mat- ter what may be.said regarding the chances of: any particular candidate, it is solely their own opinions. Oth- er candidates probably have a vote reserve equally as substantial, hence there is nothing to fear. Old Extra Vote Offer Courage. and downright hustling are the two main things to observe. Votes are the only means that will win the big prizes next Saturday night, and all contenders should— and for that matter are—taking it upon themselves to annex just as many of these as are within their power, between now, and the finale. Subscriptions can be obtained ai- most anywhere and the territory is unlimited. The present extra vote offer of 150,000 for every $30 worth of new subscriptions, which positive- fy comprises the last offer of the campaign, allows and. makes possi- ble wonderful gains-in the vote standings if taken full advantage of. In just four short days, good, hard, conscientious work can. be rewarded by a costly automobile. You ‘can. well afford to sacrifice ev- erything in reaping this tremend- ous. reward for real effort.
