BRUTALITY OF BIG
MAN TO HELPLESS PUP

An instance of cruelty which was the
the result of that innate desire to tease
and torment found in most small boys
and in many men who do not deserve
the name WAS witnessed by those pass
ing along Ninth street south early this
afternoon. A big. husky man in shirt
sleeves evidently felt called upon to
a1nuse himself by practcing upon long
suffering and helpless puppy.
Ticing an ordinary string about the
puppys neck he attempted to let the
little animal down from a second story
window. When the puppy had descend
cd about onc-third of the distance the
string broke and the unhappy animal
fell to the ground where it lay hSwling.
The big man looked surprised for a
moment. Then he burst into hearty
laugh regardless of the fact that the
dog was suffering from pain and fright
inflicted by his carelessness. Still
laughing he came down stairs and stoop-
ing picked the injured puppy up.
We'll, | guess it amt much hurt," "
he said. "At anv rate its neck amt
broke for it can still howl"

ROONEY WILL BE PUT
IN JAIL. AT MINO1

When Pat Rooney, the noted Jail
breaker who was arrested at Winn-
peg, Canada last week, is brought
back to North Dakota, he will be con-
fined in the Ward county Jail and a
special guard will be placed over him
in order that every chance of escape
may be reduced to minimum.
Heretofore Rooney has been taken
to the Williams county Jail, at Will
Eston, but owing to the record which
he has established by securing his
freedom from that prison, he will be
held at the Ward county Jail to await
his trial on a charge of assault with
intent to kill Judge Goss has issued
an order, which provides that Rooney
shall be confined there instead of be-
ing taken to Williston.
The Minot authorities expect that
their man will be returned to thc
states some time this week, in case
he does not demand requisition pa

u s. Supreme Court Decision
on Divorces Is Misunderstood

1t was pitiful scene which T. III.
McEnroe, the well known attorney. be-
held when he stepped into his Office in
the Davis block this morning.
Her head resting on table, baby
in her lap and a boy apparently 10 or
IL years of age standing by her side,
a woman sat in one of the Office chairs
weeping as if her heart would break.
The entrance of Mr.. McEnroe was the
cue, it almost seemed, for fresh out

baby joined r.. 10

1t was then that the explanation
dawned on Mr.. McEnroe. He reeog-
nized in the weeping woman client
FLOR whom he had secured a divorce
about three years ago She had appear
ed in his Office one day and engaged him
to commence the action against a man
whose residence was in the state of YER
mont. 1t was the same old story she
told, the mad infatuation of the hHs-
band for another woman and the subse-
qtlent acts of impropriety which had
held UP the wife to the pity of the
lneighborhood. - t.. 5s7.
Although there appeared to be ample
levidence of other acts, the woman would
not allow her husband to be attacked in
the courts and the result was that it was
the simple charge of desertion which
was made as grounds for the divorce.
Summons was secured by publication
and the divorce proceedings went along
just as have thousands of others. and
the decree was granted r 4
Behind the whole affair there were

The woman read the decision in an

rocks at Lundy Island.
After repeated attempts 10 rcfloat her,
the battleship had 10 be abandoned. The
attempts 10 save this vessel, which cost
about s7.OO0,00O. have revealed, according
to the salvage men serious scamping in
her construction. AS she was built in
the government dock yard at DevonpoTt,
and not at private yard, the scandal
is brought home directly TO the naval
constructors.
The alleged defects include the stinting
Of rivets, the omission OF which made
the wateTtight bull1heads insecure, and
the use Of leaden rivets and even wooden
plugs instead OF steel rivets.

The Statehood Problem.

Apparently the question of State
hood for those troublesome twin
Territories of the Southwest is to
be a live problem for some time TO
come. The information which comes
from the Territories seems to bear
out the claims which were made by
opponents of joint Statehood last
winter when the matter was before
Congress.
Thus, within a few days the CON
yentions of both Democrats and Re
publicans of Arizona were held in
the same town and on the same day,
and both adopted resolutions declar-
ing themselves irrevocably opposed
to iointure with New Mexico. There
was not enough opposition to this
declaration to make itself seriously
felt. Apparently the sentiment in
Arizona which opposes the joint
Statehood plan has crystallized into
solid structure that reaches every
part of the State and is pretty GER
tain to control in the election.
If either Territory gives a major
ity vote against the joint Statehood
plan. that plan fails. Even New
Mexico, which has always been rated
rs Overwhelmingly in favor of joint
ure, Is said now 20 have reduced its
estimates OF the majority for the
Congressional proposal to such a
point that enthusiastic opponents
insist that it is doubtful. Probably
there is small warrant for this
claim. New Mexico has always been
friendly to joint Statehood, and
nothing has happened which reason
ably should change its attitude. But
its position is unimportant, if Ari-
zona is to oppose the union.
There is report in the Territories
that if this coming election rejects
joint Statehood, Congress viii next
pass an act such as the friends Of
Joint Statehood wanted last winter,
providing for a ratification by the
/ joint vote of the two Territories.
This would take away from Arizona
the power alone to reject the plan.
There are expressions in Arizona of
fear lest such a plan may be adopt
/ ed. Not much fear need be enter
tanned, however, on this point. The
fact is that even If the joint State
| hood leaders were never so anxious
to enforce such q plan they could
not get it through the Senate. There
is no reason to think that the
chance in the next session will be
better than in the last. On the
other hand, with a larger Demo-
cratic strength in the House, and
with the insurgents of last session
vindicated by the adverse vote of
Arizona, IT is hard to see how any
such measure could possibly be fore
ed through.
