The above telegram was received
this morning by County Judge Has
sell from G. A. Taylor of Warren,
Ind. brother of the demented man,
Samuel Taylor, now confined in the
county Jail. The unfortunate does not
want to return to his home, and it is
a serious question if the authorities
there can be compelled to accept him
In case he is sent home by the authori-
ties of this county.
For this reason they will communi-
cate with the Virginia and probably
with the Tennessee authorities as to
whether or not they will receive him
before they incur the expense of send
ing him to either state. The reason
for consulting both state authorities
is because the town of Bristol is divid-
ed by the state line between the two
commonwealth, and while the post
office is located on the Virginia side,
there is nothing in the telegram to in
dictate that Taylor's father does not
live on the Tennessee side.
AS indicated yesterday, the authori-
ties are of the opinion that he is
resident of this state and that they
are fully justified in committing him
to the asylum at Jamestown. should
there be no desire on the part of
his relatives to look after him them.

for number of years and has prac-
tically made it his home.

BALD HEADS ENVY YOUNG LADIES
Two Girls In Demonstration Have Nine
Feet of Hair Between Them.

Bald headed men who passed by the
drug store of Schlaberg & Griffin dur
ing the last two days have cast cove.-
GUS eyes on the wonderful suits OF
hair, which the two ladies' who are
demonstrating the hair-growing prop
critics of Herpicide, possess. Miss An
ma Conner of Chicago has suit of
hair a few inches over five feet in
length. while that of Miss Jennie Alb
bolt of Cleveland is something near
four feet and decidedly heavy. Miss
Corners hair comes down 10 the floor,
but that does not seem to be a very
remarkable thing, for gentleman who
was standing near the window remark
ed that his wife's hair came down to
the floor nearly every day, and in fact
when it was not combined with the
brushes on the dresser was always on
the floor.
A number of these hair preparations
have been put on the market and
nearly all of them have been guaran-
teed to restore the curly locks OF youth
to bald heads. but visit to the theater
any night when there is a large
chorus or specially attractive dancers
will prove that there are just as many
of them now as there was before the
preparations became known. In fact,
since the time when Eliiah's bald head
got the children into serious trouble
they have been a distinguishing mark
OF the stronger sex.

THo'T 40" WAS MARRIAGE LICENSE
Rural Gentleman Applies ut Real Es.
tate Office For Nuptial Permit.

A stenographer in one of the real
estate Offices in the city had peculiar
experience the other day and in all
probability couple of lovers are won
dering what is the trouble with the
proper officials. A gentleman walked
into the Office in question and stated
to the maker of duck tracks that he
desired to have paper made" The
statement was taken to mean that he
desired some stenographic work and
the obliging clerk at once proceeded
to get ready. When he inquired the
nature of the instrument desired he
was told that the man wanted wife.
He was told that he had best advertise
for one and to that end an advertise
ment was prepared and he was direct
ed to one of the newspaper offices
where he was told the matter would
be given attention.
Later 1t was found that what the
man wanted was marriage license
and the official he was seeking was the
county Judge. The man went home
with the advertisement which had been
prepared for him supposing it was the
authority to have the ceremony which
was to start him on the road to either
happiness or the divorce court. per-
formed. and when the discovery was
made that 1t was not that, 1t is prob
able that he consulted the officials In
some other part of the state where
the young man would have more in
innate knowledge with the require
ment of one about to commit mat
rinlony.

two years was short, but when it was

Mr.. Witham said this afternoon that
he would apply for a divorce imme-
diately and then the girl could do as
she pleased. It has developed since
the arrest that the man Sterling al

turned to the board at 1926, 1878 for

severely injured. She claims that per-
manent injuries we're sustained and
that she has been unable to leave her

one OF the other thousand-and-one
ways in which money is separated
from the one who has secured rightful

in front of the St. Johns block to put
a we'll worn bill to new use. AS he
took out his eyeglasses to adjust them
on his nose preparatory to reading
last nights Evening Times, he dis
covered that there was too much dust
On the lenses to permit the full benefit
of the enlargement of the types to
reach his eyes. He then pulled a good
sized roll OF bills from his trousers
pocket, on the outside of which
"yellowback" was conspicuous, and
Carefully selected crumpled dollar
note. This he made use OF in wiping
his eyeglasses, and it was apparent
that he picked out well worn bill in
order to have as soft a piece of paper
as possible to use so as not to scratch

IS NO CRIME TO SHIP OUT CAME
Judge Amidon Of u. s. Court Hands
Down q Far. Reaching Decision.

Judge Amidon of the United States
district court for the district of North
Dakota, has rendered a decision in
the case of James Thompson and B.
r. Spear, who were indicted in for
shipping game out of the state, which
practically annuls the state law which
attempts to prohibit the sending of
game killed in North Dakota to other
states. The federal court sustained
demurrer and holds that it is no
crime to ship game out of the state
during the open season. The idea is
that game once reduced to possession
in legal manner becomes personal
property and after this is done the
owner has the right to do with It
as he pleases, and that no legislative
restrictions can be placed around it.
Thompson is both deaf and dumb
and being possessed of a large fortune
enjoys himself in hunting and fishing
Spear was the first principal of the
deaf school at Devils Lake, but for a
number of years has been employed
as the guardian and companion of
Thompson. They have a hunting lodge
on Sweetwater lake in Ramsey county
and shipped number of ducks from
Devils Lake to Minneapolis.

BAFFlE BURGLARS BY SCREW SAFES
New Cannon Breech Safe for First
State Bank Tool Proof.

The new building to be occupied by
the First State bank of East Grand
Forks is rapidly nearing completion.
There Is about six feet more of brick
to be added and two more courses of
stone before the building will assume
its best appearance. o. M. Hatcher,
who Is interested in the institution,
said this morning that the bank would
have the finest finished interior equip
ment of any bank in the northwest
with one exception and this goes a
long way to show the character of the
furnishings. The safe to be installed
will be burglar proof and equipped
with cannon breech screw door Of
solid steel-drill proof, steel proof and
tool proof-so patrons of the bank
Will rest easy on that source. These
safes are the latest thing on the mar
ket and since their Introduction have
baffied the safe crackers. Their ex-
cellence may be noted from the fact
that not one has been rifled since be-
ing placed on the market.

The Great Northern has received
about ten car loads of paving stone

constructed around the depot will re-

On the north side of the building the
space between the building and the
curbing of the avenue will be paved,
as this will be the place where the
freight will be delivered. 1t is prob
able that the same character of pave
ment will be constructed entirely
across the old tracks and on the other
portions of the street which will be
used in delivering and receiving freight
from the public. The plan of the
company is to have the portion of the

Horses Reported Stolen Invariably
Turn Up Dead or In RomeO's
Charge.

Sheriff Turner thinks he is hoodooed
in the way of finding stolen horses.
1t will be remembered that a few
months ago he hunted over nearly
half the state for a Crookston horse
which was supposed to be stolen and
after about week of fruitless search
the animal was found dead in the own
er's field. A few days ago he received
a telephone message from Manfred
asking him to keep sharp lookout for
team which It was thought had been
stolen at that point and was headed for
this city, the thief having hired the
team to drive to Johnstown. The sher-
i'll had few little matters to see after
at the Jail before going out to find the
criminal, and before he had completed
them, he was notified by phone that
the team had been found at Johns
town where the man who had secured
them was enjoying few hours with
his best girl.
