A serious row occurred at Devils Lake
last Saturday all on the account Of the

gagged in the liquor traffic. Tho Grand

manner. John Siverson resident of
Penn, N. d., was also taken out and
given bad beating.
William Manning, William Elliott and
Smith Fassett were arrested and put
in Jail, while the three mentioned in
the opening paragraph, Collins, Sham
non and Ash escaped. The commits
sioners of the county offer reward
of $75 for the arrest of the latter three
and it is expected that they will be
caught before night. Those who were
captured will have their bearing to-
morrow. At first it was stated that
