Tor the Maxwells, the Fords and the
Carter cars. The Carriers are a partic-
nlarly fancy car, and incorporate the
latest in automobile improvements.
The old style gearings are done away
with and the entire machine is con-
trolled with a friction clutch. These
cars have carrying capacity of five
and are decorated in handsome COM
blnation of red and black colorings.
The acme Of construction science in
touring cars is to be found in this
machine.
The public needs no introduction to

who are contemplating the purchase
OF machine will certainly find it to
their advantage to talk with Fox. the
'oughto Man" before consummatine
purchase anywhere else. He also
employs first-class repair man. who

Grace. who since last July has held

Office of the Great Northern Express

dence furnished by the company's de-

accused was arraigned Saturday night
and plead guilty to the charge.
The information at hand alleges that
Grace stole part of the money to
invest in local sporting house and
that gambling and association with
fast women is in reality the cause of
his downfall. The accused's father
was formerly agent for the Great
