of Mr.. Cornegie shows where

Three bad men were arrested at
Lucca Friday morning. They were
seen in hiding by the section men,
who reported the matter to the En-
derlin authorities. The 500 gave
the officers the use of the engine
and the men were soon found in hid
ing. They were taken unawares and
upon their persons were found re-
volvers, several sticks of dynamite,
three two ounce bottles Of nitro
glycerine, fuses, caps, flashlights,
wrenches, knives, etc. It is believed
that they intended hiding in the
bushes until night and then rob the
Lucca bank. They were turned over
to the sheriff.

Some of the Democratic papers are
calling attention to the condition OF
i Minot during the time that G. A.
Johnosn was it's mayor. 1t is fact
that beer was sold in Minot those
days, and it is now, and this is the
case with every other city in the
state-to certain extent, and every
one nows it, and the bawdy houses
were in existence then as they are
now in practically every other city
in the state, and perhaps some gamp-
ling was done in the early days, as
it was done in every hmlet in the
state, to say nothing Of the larger
cities. When Mr.. Johnson was hrst
elected mayor he did find the COP
dition very bad, and he did all IN his
power to remedy the conditions. He
brot about gradual, but very ehec~
tive reform. He segregated the wee.
which has always been done in any
city otimportance and law and order
were put into effect. Gambling was
curbed and was not known to openly
exist, tho Mr.. johnson does not at
tempt to say that he stamped 1t our
completely. The sale Of beer was
regulated and open saloons did not
exist. There was noticeable change
for the better which speaks well Tor
Mr.. Johnson's ability as mayor.
Conditions were somewhat diheren'
in the early days than they are now
and as usual thing, certaln
amount OF lawlessnes's was tolerated
but Mr.. Johnson with frm hand.'
controlled the lawless element ano
transformed a reckless lot OF wesN
ern fellows into law
zens. Mr.. Johnson's record as mayor
of Minot in the early days will stand
thoro investigation. In fact, MS
record shown up in it's due light
will speak wonders as to his exec
utive ability.
