from ancient Anglo-Saxtl. Scot il.
this sense comes from tie old Eng

State and County Offers $500 For
Slayer of Grace Burns

A reward Of $500 is out for
the arrest and conviction of the
murderer of young Grace Burns
who was killed at Fargo, Cass
county, this state, June 21 last.
The details of the tragedy were
most horrible, and will be re-
called by many.
The suspected man is about
40 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches
tall, weighs about 100 pounds
red faced and has several front
teeth missing. He is of Nor
wegian extraction.
It is said that a man answer.

at a Fourth Of July celebration
in a nearby town. He was sell
ing beer and was an utter
stranger to the locality. Inves.

A SMALL BLAZE
Quickly Put Out by the Presence Of
Mind of a Workman

Undoubtedly all that saved the
residence Of Charles Taylor from
being seriously damaged by fire
Saturday 1horning, was the fact
that brick mason was at work
'epairing a(chimney on the kitch-
en- roof, an Id seeing smoke issu-
ing from al bedroom window on
the second, floor, quickly enter
ed and threw a mattress, which
was ablaze' through the window
onto the ground below.
It seems that Mrs. Taylor was
disinfecting a sick room by
means of burning a saucer Of
sulphur. While airing the room
and the bed she placed the re-
ceptacle or the mattress and
went down stairs for a few mo-
ments. The fame soon ignited
the mattress, and had it not been
for the prompt action of the
workman, VI Arious damage might
! have been wrought. "
The fire department was
quickly summoned, but their SER
vices were not needed.

that he is the possessor of which
enables him to unlock the cuffs,
and did he work in the open be-
fore the spectators, doubtless in
a weeks time there would be a
couple Of hundred handcuf mon
archs trying to earn a living by
unlocking the bracelets. A COM
mittee from the audience were
called upon the stage each even
ing, they bringing their own
handouts along. That Grose
freed himself from all these
demonstrates that he is what he
claims-a veritable handcuff
monarch. Chief Hurst and Sher-
if Belford are completely at a
loss to account for the way that
the man escapes from his bonds.
AS stated before, it is a trick,
but it is mighty neat one, and
worthy of anyone seeing.

Hand Cuff Monarch

Grose, the handcuff monarch,
was the star attraction at the
Star theatre this week. He is
indeed a stellar attraction. There
are only two so-called "rnon-
archs" of the bracelets on the
stage today, and if the other pro-
duction is any better than Grose
he will have to tSgo some. =. His
performances are mystefying in
the extreme. He demonstrated
his ability to unlock any and all
pairs of handouts and .shackles
locked on his wrists and ankles.
Monday afternoon he was taken
by the management of the thea

where sheriff Belford nlanacled
him with three. pairs OF. hand
