whIs1ers as ToothpicIlS.

Nature has armed the walrus with a
growth of whiskers which extend
three or four inches from its snout,
with the apparent motive of enabling
it to detect the presence of an iceberg
before actual contact has resulted.
These whiskers are quite stiff and this
quality improves with age. When a
walrus is killed the natives proceed TO
pull out, with the aid of rude pinchers,
each separate whisker. After thor
ough drying they are arranged in neat
packages and exported to China for use
as toothpicks.

IN THE LAWS TOLLS
Man Wanted at williston is
Captured and Held at
Minot.

A report comes from Minot that
man who skipped from Williston with
bundle of another mans money was
arrested there Tuesday by Officer Lake,
as he stepped off train No. 4 at the
Great Northern depot. The man was
wanted on the charge of having
stolen $40 in gold and $40 in bills
from man in Step Davis place in
Williston. Soon after August Albert
got possession of the other fellows
money he boarded the train for Minot
and was caught as above stated.
1t seems that the man from whom
Albert took the money had bag con-
tanning considerable amount of
money In gold and in bills, and the
possessor being somewhat hilarious
threshed the bag of money down on
the counter, and the bag burst and
scattered the money.
Albert made grab and secured the
coin and made off. Officer Lake of
Minot was wired by the Williston
authorities to catch the man, which he
promptly did. A full description had
been given in the dispatch and the
man being remarkable was easily de-
tected.
Deputy Sheriff McGahey of Willis
ton took the prisoner back to Willis
ton. The name of the man from
whom the money was taken is Louis
Folsom.
