Mr.. Gibbons submitted an af-

absent from Bemidji while the grand
jury was in session and that at the
time of the arraignment of Mr..
Slocum he did not know all the facts
which had been set forth in the
afidavits presented, otherwise he
would have at that time made the
motion that was now before the
court.
Mr.. Slocum also submitted an
affidavit to the effect that the matter

Mr.. Gibbons then submitted an
affidavit of Mr.. Slocum, whereunto
was attached a clipping from the
Bemidji Sentinel. This clipping
was an item wherein the editor of
the Sentinel reported the action of
the grand jury as follows:
Grand jury completes work. ~
The grand jury, which has been
in session several weeks, completed
its work Saturday and was dis
charged by Judge Wright. Before
the jury was discharged it reported
an indictment for larceny against a
party who has not yet been arrested.
Another indictment was for imper-
sonating an officer, and one for
presenting claim falsely to public
officer.
Before the jury adjourned it also
inspected the county jail, which is
one of its duties, and reported that
it was in as good condition as it
possibly could be under the existing
circumstances.
In this affidavit Mr.. Slocum says
that he made the affidavit containing
the clipping from the Sentinel for
the purpose of showing that the
deliberations of the grand jury rela-
tive to finding an indictment against
him was matter of public knowl.

Couple Escaped Overland From

Denver, June 21.-Who ever heard
of wild pursuit from Canada by an
irate father, accompanied by minions
of the Canadian law, all intent on
breaking up the happy home of a
newly welded couple just starting
upon life's journey in their own quiet
way down in Yuma, Colo, taking the
boy and putting him in Jail?
That's what has happened to Irene
Dudley, who made a flying trip across
the Canadian country for over 125
miles on horseback with her young
Lochinvar. The romance of Irene and
George Nickel has been ruthlessly in
terrupted by the appearance of Cana

the governments to surrender Nickel.

day the young wife, bearing a huge
framed marriage certificate under her
arm, arrived in town. her innocent
face all alight with the hope that she
may save her husband from extradi-
ton and subsequent proceedings in
Canada.
The cumbersome pink and gold
frame with it's precious certificate,
and the gold band encircling the
girls finger are two possessions which
Irene says must make it impossible
for them to separate her from her be-
loved George.
