rum reporter this afternoon at their
home. 73s Ninth street north, relating
the family history from the time OF

able to clear himself Of the charge that
has been preferred against him? was
asked.
I'm sure don't know. we hope
for the best" was the reply of the
little woman whose face is well worn
with care.
MIR. Kethman came home last eve-
ming after II o'clock. was not
up at the time and knew nothing OF
the trouble till the policeman came and
placed him under arrest, not telling
him on what charge he was wanted
/ called on him In the county Jail in
Moorhead this morning but at that
time neither he nor / knew what he
was wanted for. He told me when
he came home that he had lost all but
$6 of $50 which he had yesterday
There was nothing mean in his dis
position, especially when ne was drink
ing, when he was always very happy.
He has always been a very good father
He drank some, but has always been
able to take care of himself He. had
a slight temper, but never saw him
