PRISONER MAKES BOLD
DASH FOR LIBERTY

Attempt to get Away and Sue.
ceeds=-=Two Deputies Near at
Hand. ... ~,

Fred Johnson, a prisoner sen.
fenced to the county jail for sew
enty days for beating two Ken
mare policemen with a club;
made a bold dash for liberty
Monday morning about 10
O'Clock while at work on the
streets. Johnson had been pro-
vided with a ball and chain and
he refused to work. His CON-
panion raked up the loose pa
pers, but Johnson simply picked
up his ball, chain and rake and
kept moving down the street
with his companion. The lock
was old and rusty and failed to
work. When Deputy Sheriffs
Fred Ehr and Valley George
turned theirheads for an instant
johnson removed the ball and
iron from his ankle quicker than
a flash and jumping up like a
deer started down Main street
like a shot.
The streets were crowded with
people who gave chase. The
deputies were but a few feet be-
hind johnson, who ran down
First street past the Minot Bot
tling works, thru the driveway
to the International Harvester
Co. s warehouse and around =
box car near the electric light
plant where all trace Of him was
lost. For several hours a search
was made for him, but at this
writing he is free man. In the
afternoon stranger notified the
police that he had seen a man
answering Johnson's description
running down the 500 track A
mile out OF town and a posse was
sent out after him.
johnson informed his compan.
ions in the jail that he would
never serve seventy days on the
chain gang and would run a risk
of getting shot first.

LADY BARBER RETURNS
WITH LOVING HUSBAND
Gavin, With Whom She El0ped,
Turned L00se-.Relatives Live
at Helena and are Good PeO.
pIe--Says Woman Followed
Him.

Mrs. Muhs, formerly Minot's
lady barber, who eloped to Hele-
ma, Mont, with her husbands
cabman, has returned to Minot
and is again living with her hus-
band. She says that sooner or
later she will leave him. Gavin
mot Cavanaugh as previously
reported) was released at Hele-
ma by the officers and states that
he will never return to Minot
again. Mr.. Muhs followed the
couple to Helena, spending a
hundred dollars of his good
money and was shown to the ho-
tel where Mrs. Muhs was guarded
by an officer.
Here the couple formed a sort
OF a reconciliation, but it is still
evident that the woman
loves the cabman better than her
husband. She claims that her
husband has ill treated her, strik-
ing her with a billiard cue and
other missiles.
At first it was intended to
bring Gavin and the woman back
to this city and prosecute them.
The woman stated that she was
willing to return with her hus-
band providing the charges
against her lover were dismissed
and he given his freedom. This
was done. Cavin's relatives live
at Helena and are said to be
very good people. He informed
Officer Tom Hagan that after
Muhs had discharged him he in:
tended leaving for the west and
not again creating a domestic
disturbance. AS soon as Mrs.
Muhs learned of this, she packed
up few OF her belongings and
taking her little five year old
adopted daughter, accompanied
the man. She is said to have
furnished the money for the trip.

Threshing Machine.

Ward County Independent:
Believing that your neighbors
are thinking seriously Of buying
a threshing machine for company
purposes, we have one for sale.
The engine was used about Is
days two years ago, about 10
days last year. The separator
has been run about 40 days in all.
Both have been handled in good
shape and the owner warrants it
to be just as he represents. The
machine is now in the suberbs of
Minot and ready for inspection.
There are a few little things
that the owner is getting, cost
ing about $40, which puts it in
perfect condition.
Will it be convenient for you
to see some of those men who
are thinking of buying, would
they buy this machine now? The
price $170O, one-third cash this
fall, one-third in one year, bal
ance in two years, is surely a
bargain and it seems as if your
neighbors could be materially
benefited by owning this outfit
in company.
When either of your neighbors,
whom you may have seen in re-
card to this. come in. please call
and see us and if your people are
anyways inclined for a deal Of
this kind, am sure we can sell
you.
Let me hear from you at your
earliest convenience, and very
much oblige. Yours Truly,
