GAMM0NS FACES
THE GRIM REAPER

L.W. Gammons, one of Minot's prom
inent attorneys, nearly met death at the
500 depot early Tuesday morning. After
the social session of DeMolaylComman-
derry, Monday night. Mr.. Gammons went
to the 500 to catch the early train for
Minneapolis. Just as the train was
pulling out, Mr.. Gammous attempted to
get on the train, and not noticing the
tongue to the truck, tripped and fell be-
tween the train and the platform. or
ficer Lake stood near and when he saw
Mr.. Gammons fall, made quick move
and grabbed him just before he fell be-
meath the train. His legs were falling
right under the train and in another
instant he would have been ground to
pieces. Mr.. Gammons is a large man,
was moved from his perilous position
only by the Herculean efforts of Mr..
Lake, who deserves great praise for
his act.
Mr.. Gammons was not hurt, and was
placed in bus and taken to the water
tank, succeeding in catching the tram
which so nearly caused his death.

THE LAWS.

In our write up of the county board
proceedings last week, in mentioning
the resolution passed requiring the
sheriff to stop the use of all slot ma
chimes, we made a mistake which Mr..
Benson, who introduced the resolution,
has asked US to correct. We stated
that an alteration had been made in the
resolution before being passed which
changed it's meaning. This he informs
us was not true.
Inasmuch as there has been some
criticism of the boards action we here
with print the old state law with refer
ence to operating gambling devices.
Sec. 453l-Any person who shall
knowingly suffer or permit any table,
wheel or other construction, or any
cards, dice or other device, scheme,
continuance or thing adapted, suitable,
devised, designed or which can or shall
be used for gambling purposes to be set
up, kept, managed or used, or any
gambling or betting Herewith, thereon
or by means thereof in any house,
building, shed, booth or on any lot or
premises by him owned, occupied or
controlled shall be punished by i'm
prisonment in the county jail not more
than six months or by fine not exceed
ing one hundred dollars.
Since that law was passed the legisla-
ture has passed an amendment giving
city councils, village boards and town
boards the right to regulate gambling.
1t became effective last year.

DOING MUCH WORK.

The local branch of the Wisconsin
Humane society held an important
meeting Friday evening in the supervis-
ors' room in the court house. There
was large attendance and the interest
in the society's work was manifested by
the addresses made by number OF our

tions where they will have proper care.
Several children have been taken away
from their parents because of immoral

to make their lives value to society
Emphasis was placed on the fact that
the society needs funds to carry on the
work Money is required to buy food
and clothing for the ones taken under
the sOciety's care.
Following Mrs. Dickens report a
NUMBER OF people maue addresses cOln-
plimentary to the work of the society.
r ev. F. h. Brigham promised to add %
members to the society's roll within a
week. M. b. Rosenberg suggested that
the society's aims and objects be exploit
ed in the schools; that committee be
appointed to confer with the editors of
local papers in an endeavor to have
them agitate through their columns the
spread of humane work. Fred Genrich
also was in favor of campaign of edu-
cation. Judge Marchetti compli-
mented the work of Mrs. Dickens and
the society, while L. G.. Ryan, c. b.
Bird, E. c. Zimmerman, Prof. Toby
and Mrs. j. A. Jones also lent words of
encouragement.
B. II. Conlin was reelected presi-
dent, Rev. Brigham was selected as

made to get new members into the or

zens generally.

BITS FOR

Many men think themselves SELF
made who are really marriage-made.
The man who avoids matrimony on
account of the cares of welded life
rivals the wiseacre who secured him
self against corns by having his legs
amputated.
Don't marry for beauty alone. Soc
rates called beauty "a short-lived tyr
amy" and Theophrastus pronounced
1t "a silent cheat" The man who
marries for beauty alone is as silly
as the man who would buy a house be-
cause it had fine flowers in the front
garden.
1t is in life as it is with a kite; 1t
will not fly very high tintil it has a
string tying it down. And so the man
who is tied down by half a dozen re-
sponsibilities and their mother will
make a higher and stronger fight than
the bachelor who, having nothing to
keep him steady, is always f1oundering
in the mud.
