Observation-Disclosures
Man Who Started New Enterprise Is
Again Out of the Grand Forks
Jail.

Bernard Draxton, who gained a rep
utation all over the northwest as the
original automobile blindpigger, was
released from the Grand Forks county
Jail on payment Of $3.50, the amount
due on $500 fine imposed by the
court in addition to Jail sentence.
Draxton was unable to pay the fine at
the end of his service of ninety days
and he had put in twenty five addition
al days at the rate of 81 per day when
he was released. He has been making
strenuous efforts to secure the amount
necessary to gain his liberty but was
unsuccessful until yesterday.
Draxton was arrested for selling liq-
uor while travelling around in an au-
tomobile. He was convicted and an
appeal was taken to the supreme
court. He lost his case there and re-
ceived a heavy sentence as a reward
for fighting the case. 1t was supposed
at the time that he could pay the
fine as he had quite a little property
including threshing rig but he failed
and could do nothing until friends
came to the rescue with the amount
needed yesterday.
He will return to Northwood to look
after his interests

VI A newly married couple came In a

how much 1t would cost to get two
bowls Of boiled rice and milk and
were informed that the price was 10
cents per portion. The groom pulled q
small package wrapped in a bit Of
newspaper from his pocket and, open
ing it, displayed about double hand
ful of rice, which he said they had
gathered from their clothing after the
shower which followed the early morn
Ing wedding. He inquired how much
would be deducted If they furnished
their own rice and upon being inform

came indignant and remarked that
they would wait until they reached

economy, although that Is not exactly

Illuminating anecdote concerning James
Russell Lowell when he was our min
lister at Madrid. AT a royal reception
Minister Lowell, In plain evening dress,
was preceded up the palace stairway
by minister from Central America,
gorgeously appareled, wearing jew
eled sword, who was saluted at each
landing by the magnificent halberdier
with a heavy whack Of the battle ak on
the marble pavement. AS Mr.. Lowell
wore no insignia of Office. he received
no attention. At last, bis patriotic
blood boiling, he addressed the halber-
der in excellent Spanish, "Do you
know who r amp II don't" WELL,
said Mr.. Lowell. II am the minister
plenipotentiary of the United States Of
America, the greatest nation on earth.
and II you don't whack the next time
7 pass you will forget you at Christ
mas!'' And the halberdier whacked
thereafter as directed.

A BRIQUETTING PLANT
Washburn Again in Line for One Of the
OFT Promised Ignite Briquet-
ting Plants.

Bismarck Tribune S. J. Bradley. of
the National Fuel Briquetting Co, was
at the w. d. Washburn mine near Will
ton Thursday and selected site for
the new Ignite brfquetting factory
that is to be established at that point.
Mr. Bradley went east Thursday night
to arrange some details with General
Washburn and will return to begin
active operations in about three weeks.
The first unit of two machines will
have capacity of ESQ tons day and
1T is expected that the plant will be
in perfect working order by Aug Is.
The binder used will be pitch, chemi-
cally treated so as to eliminate all
smoke from the briquettes when burn
ing. The briquettes will be egg shape
and be made in two sizes. Mr.. Brad
ley makes the extravagant claim that
in heating efficiency one ton Of briquet-
tes made under their process will more
than equal that of one ton of hard
coal. The briquettes are impervious to
moisture and can be handled and
stored the same as anthracite and BIZ
luminous Goals and can be used on
railway locomotives.
The briquetting of Ignite coal has
been in the experimental stage for a
long time and it is hoped that Mr.
Bradley's company has solved the
problem as it means great deal to
this region, and to the state. There is
now shipped into the state, not includ-
ing the fuel used by the railroad COM
panies, over $7.00O,O0O worth of coal
With briquettes, every dollar of this
enormous amount can be kept in the
state.
