Legal Department of Chicago Concern Advises That Local Situation Is as Before. St. Paul, Minn.—A desire on the part of Armour & Company to gather all of the Armour corporations in Minnesota under one head is advanced as the reason for the action of officers of the Armour Packing company in sending to the secretary of state a no tice of surrender of its franchise rights | in Minnesota and of its withdrawal from the state. < : The action is said to have nothing to do with the plans of Armour & company to build a packing plant at New Brighton, and those plans remain unchanged, according to representa- tives of the Armour interests. Attorney Urion, for Armour & con~ pany, states that the action of with- drawal was “ a mere formality” and without significance beyond the fact that Armour & Company desired to bring all subsidiary corporations of the Armour interests within the state under one control. “There was only one Armour Pack- ing company, a New Jersey corpora- tion, operating in Minnesota,” said Mr. Urion. “The company thought it best to put the whole enterprise in Minne- sota under the name of Armour & eompany. Hence, this formal, legal and technical action. That does not mean that Armour & Company have withdrawn from Minnesota by any means.” J. Ogden Armour is not in Chicago, so could not be reached for a state- ment, but J. W. Stratton of the legal department of Armour & company, said over the long distance telephone from Chicago: the Armour Packing company from Minnesota will not affect the New Brighton establish- ment. Armour & company are pro- eeeding with plans for that enterprise along the original lines. No change will be made at all.” Three Burglars Sentenced. Hastings——James Conners, W. R. Smith and G. H. Lee, arrested by Chief Lewis, of Farmington, for bur- glarizing the store of Nicholas Gores, in Hampton, and taking goods to the amount of over $400, on June 5, plead- ed guilty, and were sentenced to 18 months in prison. GIRL HURT DURING A RUNAWAY, Miss Kate Byrne Injured Near Clon- tarf—Auto Scares Team. Clontarf, Minn.—Miss Kate Byrne was seriously injuhed in a runaway accident 10 miles west of here. Her team becanie frightened at an auto- | mobile and she was thrown out. She clung to the lines and was dragged a; long distance before losing conscious- ness. Her head was cut and bruised and it was several hours before she was revived. MORE LAND FOR MINNEOPA. Purchase of Thirty Additional Acres Authorized by Iverson. Mankato.—As a result of a visit to the state public park at Minneopa by State Auditor Iverson, several im- provements will be made. His visit was for the purpose of investigating the purchase of about thirty acres ad- ditional land, which will increase the | size of the park to a trifle over one hundred acres. The park never looked prettier, and Mr. Iverson left orders for the purchase of the addi- tional land. An attempt will be made to. secure the old roadbed of the Omaha railway for an auto track to the park, and it was decided to pipe the water from a flowing artesian well half a mile distant into the park for the use of visitors. ALL CHICAGO MAY SOON WALK. | Street Car Men Considering Advisa- bility of Striking. Chicago, Aug. 2.—Possibilities ofa general street railway strike in this city are increasing.

Minot.—Though the $15,000' which has been appropriated by Andrew Carnegie for the erection of a library in this city will be forthcoming as soon as the proper resolution appro- priating the running expenses has been assessed by the board of city commissioners, it is not probable that any building will be done until next spring.

Minot——Joseph Roach has started to cut barley on his farm one mile sast of Minot, and predicts that the yield will show an average of at least forty bushels to the acre. Beside this Mr. Roach’s wheat and oats are in the finest kind of condition and with but ordinary conditicns from aow until harvest promises to show an exceptionally big average. The conditions on Mr. Roach’s farm are put a criterion, however, of the pros- pects of a big crop of all kinds of grains in the vicinity of Minot and through Ward, Montraille and the ad- facent counties in general. The tarmers of northwestern North Da- kota have every reason to feel jubil ant this fall, for with the recent co- pious rains the crops took on a re- newed growth, and the best posted axports say that this section of the country is destined to have by far the biggest yield of grains it ever saw.

The spiritual welfare of Marble is being well attended to, the various Marble Mentions Seep ieee eee itteteti ; News Items of Interest Gathered ¢ O® 3 During the Week at the ° & n Town denominations showing considerable activity. The ladies of the First M. E. church entertained the village at an ice cream social in the town hall, the proceeds of which were present- ed to Rev. Spink as a token of the gratitude of the community for the ef- forts he is putting forth toward or- ganization. Rev. Father O'Gorman of Coleraine occasionally pays a visit and upon these occasions says mass at the school house. His pleasant face and smiling countenance are a welcome sight. Rev. Young, lately placed in charge of the Episcopal church at Coleraine, was in Marble today in quest of any and all members of the church of England, and is working hard to es- tablish a district congregation. Given the “Marble” Heart. Baseball seems to be on the wane and the local team, which is a mem- ber of the Canisteo baseball league, composed of. teams from Coleraine, Bovey, Taconite and Marble, has been quite unfortunate during the season thus far, having won but one game. This lack of success cannot be at- tributed to the management, which has labored conscientiously in behalf of good ball. Their indefatigable efforts, with the co-operation of the Oliver Mining company officials, have brought good players to strengthen the team and the failure to do things can only be explained by the poor support contrib- uted by the fans.
