About two ye;,fS ago ollie Bsn Gud-
mundson Of Akra came to Pembina and
took out q license for marriage. He
signed the usual oaths declaring that the
woman was over 10 years Of age. Later
there was trouble in the new family and
the wife went home to her folks. claim
ing abuse. Gudmundson was arrested
at the instance of the girls relatives on
the charge of perjury, IN that he had ia
ken false oath declaring the girl to BE-
ovea 10 when she was really but II. In
the defense the attorney brought up the
novel plea that Gudmundson did not
hold up his hand when he took the oath,
consequently he did not swear. The de-
c'sion OF the Judge was reserved.

The New Fire Engine.

Line new f1Ie Engine.
Pembina has bran new, red, gasoline
engine with which to extin9uish fires. If
it serves as good purpose as did its pre-
decessor, nobody need kick, because we
never had occasion to take out the old
engine except at about two small fires
during its ten years OF residence with us.
1t seemed to be about as good an insur-
ance as anything we could have gotten
in town. Of course it is possible that we
would not have had fires even if we had
had no engine. Joking aside, however,
the new engine seems in many respects
superior to the old one. The old engine
was rather delicate piece of mechan-
ism, that is, it required an engineer of
considerable skill to care for it and run
it. 1t could and would do good work
when in good order. The new engine,
with its simple gasoline power and its
rotary, all metal pump. each separate
from the other, make a much less com.
plicated apparatus, which any ordinary
man used to machinery can readily han
die. Another advantagei is the fact tina,
the engine does not need to be KEEP,
warm all the time. There is nothing to
freeze up when it is standing still. The
old engine did wefl to get up steam suffi.
Gent to pump water in ten minutes and
was more likely to take twenty minutes.
The gasoline engine starts practically a,
once after heating the firing torch, which
takes about two minutes on an average
! The new engine throws good streams o
water. The hose was stretched from thu
lefty hall to the farther end. of. the bridge
land from there threw wSeer 1be feet In /
