JUSTICE WAS BLIND.
A. O. Johnson's Experience in a
Country Court.
FINED AND THROWN INTO JAIL
He Is Released on Habeas Corpus
and Now Threatens to Sue
for Lost Time.

A. o. Johnson, who Is now visiting his
mother at 706 Nineteenth avenue NE, had
an experience at Eibbing, Mimi, recently,
which he thinks serves to illustrate the
peculiar ideas of law held by some coun-
try justices. 49,
Johnson is cook. In Hibbing he was
approached by an agent Of the logging
company, who offered him employment at
big company's camp some four miles out
of5toWn. Terms We're finally agreed upon
and Johnson was driven out to camp in a
wagon belonging to the company.
When he arrived there, however, he
says he decided not to take the job, ex-
planning that false representations had
been made to him, and that he would not
undertake to prepare food for eighty men
with the limited equipment in use at the
camp. He walked hack to town and there
again met the agent who had offered to
employ him. This agent demanded pay
for driving Johnson to the camp, but the
Minneapolis man refused to produce the
money. He was then arrested and taken
before a local Justice of the peace who
promptly convicted him under the state
law making it 1nisdemeanor for man
to accept transportation to the woods and
then refuse to work for the parties who
had crowded 1t. 80.
Johnson explained that he had ordered
no team, and that the agreement was that
he should be taken to the camp to look
over the situation before he accepted the
employment offered, but he was convicted
and ordered to pay fine of $40 or spend
twenty days in the county Jail.
He had the money, but he didn't like
the Idea of being buncoed, and conse-
quently refused to pay. Then he says, a
compromise of IS was proposed, but he
again refused to produce, and was finally
taken to Duluth and placed in jail there.
However, he at once employed an at
torney and was taken before Judge Dbble
On a writ of habeas corpus The Judge
had no sooner heard the facts in the case
than he ordered Johnson released; and

nent. He served seven days out of his

Home Team Wins a Battle Royal
~ With Crookston.
Special to The Journal
Red Lake Falls, Mimi, Jan. 18-The
debate last night between the Red Lake
Falls and Crookston high schools was won
by Red Lake Falls. The judges were
Superintendent J. Nelson Kelly of the
Grand Forks high school, Professor
Chandler of the North Dakota university,
and Attorney Thomas Keefe of Fertile.
c. F.. Newberry, principal of the Crookston
high school, was chairman. The debators
for Red Lake Falls, which had the affirma-
tive side, we're Leland Healy, Miss
Rachel Taylor and Miss Pauline Neiland.
The debaters for Crookston on the mega
tive side were Clifford Dufour, William
Seelleck and Maurice Rosenthal, who
defeated the Ada school three weeks ago.
A special train brought a large delega-
ton from Grand Forks, 240 from Crooks
ton, Is from Fertile, accompanied by the
Crookston band: It is estimated that LOCO
listened to the debate, which was
carried out in masterful style by both
sides. IS, =. --.

outpoint it's opponent. Features were the

scarlet and Red Lake Falls orange and

given. The school occupied the left Of the
gallery and Crookston the right.
Enthusiasm reached high pitch, and

pandemonium broke loose; hats were in
the air, handkerchiefs were waved by men

AWFUL ULCERS.
Facial Sores and Blotches
a Sign of Blood Disease.
Such Trouble S
Cured by VinoI.

The face that is blotched or covered
with unsightly pimples is not only a
source of modification and annoyance
but is dangerous.
Where such condition exists there
must be something radically wrong.
When such eruptions become worse
and give place to ulcers the danger is, of
course, enhanced. Ulcers frequently form
first on any of the great vital organs, es-
peeially the stomach. ~"
Won't you, if you suffer from any such
blood impurities give us the opportunity
of telling you how you can get rid of such
ills safely and quickly. Our Vinol will
help you.
This, we firmly believe, and the
reason for our belief is that we have
learned that Vinol in its mission OF
rebuilding the body and creating strength
does as much in the way of purifying the
blood as it does in creating new, healthy
flesh tissue. In making the body strong
and healthy it invigorates everyone of the
great vital organs and enables them to
properly perform their work.
Impurities of the blood are thus more
quickly displaced by new health ele,
ments that are taken by the stomach
from the food which by means of Vino
is fully assimilated.
81 wish to say few words in praise o:
vinol. For over year I was severely
troubled with liberated stomach which
caused me much pain; for three months
l could not eat any solid food. 1 became
weak, tired and all run down and lost
much flesh. Hearing of the great merit
of Vinol, I bought bottle, and after
giving it good trial, feel better in
every way, and must give all the praise
to Ninol." MARY E. BRYANT, 81 Prescott
Street, Mansfield, Ohio.
Remember our faitF, in Vinol is Sc
strong that we sell 1t On guaranteed

cost of the remedy WHO Is not salts

The preliminary contests in the High

crossing rapidly and very satisfactorily.
In most districts it has narrowed down to
two schools and interest increases as the
finals for championship in each district

the near future, and early in February
the pennant winner in each district can
be announced.

honors in the first congressional district
