Grand Forks Men Participating in Gun
Shoot In Duluth,


The following is from Tuesday
evenings Duluth Herald:
Huntley, the Omaha trap shooter,
continues his remarkable performance
begun yesterday in the tournament of
the Duluth Central Gun club, and at
2 o'clock this afternoon he was lead
ing not only the amateurs, but all the
professionals by a good margin.
Out of the 200 targets shot at yes
terday, the Omaha man missed but
seven, and at the end of the eighth
event today, he had broken 127 out of
100 targets. This makes but ten tar
gets he has missed out of $50, which
is remarkably good record.
Hirschy, the Minneapolis profession
al, came second in yesterdays shoot
ing, with 100 targets out of 200. Der
ring of Columbus, Wis, got 1888, while
Trent of Brainerd broke 1877 and Ford
of Central City, 1856.
In today's shooting ]. L. D. Morri-
son, the st. Paul professional, showed
up we'll, and missed but three out of
100 birds, equalling Huntley's record.
DR.. Brain of Ashland and Hirschy,
the Minneapolis professional, were the
only other two men to get over 12O.
But four more events remain to be
pulled of this afternoon, and the
tournament will be brought to close

veil, l just vendt to see my gal,"
This statement in reply to a query
at a hearing before United States
Commissioner E. w. Conmy at Penn
bina probably prevented Chris Brent
and Emil Block from being held on
charges Of smuggling pending action
by the federal grand jury.
The men were arrested on Monday
morning by Deputy United States
Marshal Quist. They reside at Neche
and the specific charge against them
was smuggling gallon of wine and
a gallon of alcohol across the inter-
national boundary line.
1t appears that Brent was to have
been married and that he and Block
went to Gretna, Canada, a short dis
lance from Neche, to secure liquor
with which to celebrate the occasion,
On the way home and just after they
had crossed the boundary line they
met Deputy Collector of Customs
Kenneth Taylor. The federal officer
became suspicious at their actions and
watched them. He saw then hide the
jugs In the grass alongside of the
road and enter a house nearby. This
convinced the custom officer that the
two men were trying to escape his
vigilance and he effected their ar
rest.
At the hearing yesterday the men
set up the defense that they had not
had time to report the importation of
the liquor but that they had fully in
tended SO doing. 1t was then that

SHORES HELD FOR TRIAL.
Disappearance of Miss ThOen's Purse
While He Was Her Escort
Caused Trouble.

Just how strong a advertisement is
the act of holding a young woman's
hand?
This is the question which was pass
ed up to Judge Ryan in the police
court this morning and the Judge de-
cided that the young peoples favor
lite .pastime was not strenuous at all
says Tuesdays Fargo Forum.
The question was raised during the
hearing of the larceny charge against
William Shores, who was arrested
Sunday on charge Of stealing $25
from Andrenna Thoen.
The evidence showed that the purse
in which the $25 was carried by the
young woman was contained in
hand satchel which Shores had play
fully taken from the young woman
city Saturday evening.
Attorney McEnrOe, who appeared
for the defense, demonstrated to the
court that If the hand satchel was
shaken sufficiently it would fly open
of its own accord, and the attorney
advanced the theory that the brand
of love making which the young cou-
pie had INDUCED in must have been
sufficiently strenuous to have caused
the satchel to open, and thereby allow
the purse loaded with money to fall
to the sidewalk.
The theory of the attorney was part
ly bourne out by the appearance Of
the defendant, who is a professional
wrestler. But the evidence adduced
from the stories of the complaining
witness and defendant showed that
up to the time of the loss Of the
money the "spooning' had been
most conventional, in other words,
confined to the gentle squeezing of
the young woman's hand. True, the
testimony showed that the young man
held the young woman close to his
breast, but that was long after the
$25 had disappeared.
Judge Ryan indicated that he was
sorely puzzled as to disposition of
the case until Assistant District At
torney Richardson ridiculed the pos
sibility of there being any strenuous
treatment of the hand satchel, at a
time when the young mans other arm
encircled the young woman's waist
and thereby admitting of any POSSIBLE
ity of it being opened of its own &C
cord.
Being much younger man than
am" said Judge Ryan to the young
assistant prosecuting attorney, "and
no doubt versed in the ways of young
people out for stroll on Saturday
evening, am inclined to your opinion
Therefore I will have to bind this

Prison Irvine Scarce.

Valley farmers will be interested in
dispatch from saltwater which
states that the entire output of the
state prison Irvine plant for this sea-
son has been, sold. and all orders re-
ceived since Saturday morning have
been returned to the farmers.
The amount of Irvine manufactured
this year was 13,500.000 pounds, the
largest ever manufactured there. The
plant could easily have disposed of two
or three million pounds more.
The factory is running three hours
day overtime and will continue to
do so until the end of the season.

Wherever we may have been born,
we use and accept as ours one
language from the Atlantic to the Pa
ciffc; it is hard, therefore, for us to
realize that in some parts of Europe
the real language OF the country is
confined to the use of the peasant
population. In parts of Belgium, for
instance, Flemish is used bv the work
men, servants, cabmen and the poorest
classes. French is the speech of the
rest of the population. The street
signs are printed in both. In Finland
the peasants speak only Finnish. In
the towns Swedish( which has no re-
lation whatever to Finnish) is spoken,
whereas the official language of the
courts is Russian. Cultivated Films de-
pend for their literature largely upon
the outside world and are. therefore.
conversant with English, French and
German.

AN "AMERICAN REGULARITY"
Nations High Estimate OF Learning
Source of Wonder.

The one note which recurs again and
again in the reports Of the Mosely edu-
cational commission was that of sur
prise at the esteem in which education
was held in America, and in private
conversation the members of that COM
mission often declared that nothing of
the sort could he said about England
In Great Britain. writes Brander Mat
thews in the Reader. there is scarcely
even now anything that can properly
be called an educational system, and
practical men seem to care little for
thoroughness OF training.
A friend of mine in London told me
two or three years ago that his son
was to be an engineer. going straight
from Elton into the works of firm of
worldwide reputation. l asked if the
lad was not to study at all in any
technical school. and the father ans
wered that the managers of the works
preferred to take him untaught and
break him in themselves. This hostil-
ity of practical men toward scientific
preparation is significant: it seems to
imply either a narrOwness of outlook
on the part of the managers of the
works Or else obvious deficiencies on
the part of the chronological schools
of Great Britain. Here in the United
States the entire graduating class of
chronological school is often en-
gagged in advance by single company.
The British seem to exalt the prac-
teal far above the theoretical and
even to feel a certain contempt for
the latter. We Americans strive to
unite the two as best we can. know
ing by experience that the man o:
scientific education can always sooner
or later pick up for himself the prac-
tice of the shop, whereas the man with
only shop-training will be heavily
handicapped when he may later seek
to attain to the higher levels of his
profession. We cannot refrain from
wondering sometimes if the British
practically and dislike Of logic is not
carried little too far. and if they are
not inclined to think the acceptance
of theory too high a price to pay for
efficiency

School Candidates.

The school election is the next mat
ter to be settled in the city. This
morning ]. r. Johnson of the First
National bank, announced his can
didacy at the request of number of
the leading citizens. 1t is urged in
his behalf that the board of educa-
ton needs new and comprehensive
set of books opened. and that Johnson
can do the work just as we'll as an
expert. They figure that if he is
elected that he can take hold of this
work and that for that reason he is
man whose place could be filled by
no one else. Johnson did not want
the place but when urged by many
of the leading business men of the
city he consented to make the race.
Thomas Powers is candidate for re-
election and those who have given the
question honest consideration say he
cannot be spared from the board with
out serious loss. He is an experienced
engineer and machinist and his knowl-
edge along these lines is of the high
est service in caring for the extensive
plant of the school building. The
opposing candidates are Eugene Kelle-
her and L. E. Flint.
