FOR FARGO BRIDE
FEEBLE MINDED GERMAN YOUTH

HIS 5RIpE-ELEcT IS IN FARGO.
MAKES THIRD VISIT IN QUEST
OF HIS AFFINITY.

Hermann Cook, the son of well-to-
do German farmer residing near VAL
Icy City, made third trip to Fargo
Thursday 10 claim the hand of his
Imaginary bride, who he insists is in
this city waiting for him. He came
up with the wild west crowd and was
not missed at home until this morn

Valley City notified Chief Bowers to
ho'6 Hermann until some member Of
his family could come for him.
Hermann Is Is years Of age and be-
leved that his affinity is in Fargo
waiting for him to come and take her
to his home. 1t is seldom he is al
lowed to wander off the Cook farm,
but this makes the third time he has
stolen away. His parents brought him
here some time ego when on a brief
shopping trip, and it was then that
the unfortunate youth formed a de-
cIded liking for the girls behind the
counters in the department stores and
the Mattresses in the cafes who hap
pened to have waited on him.
As soon as Hermann gets into the
city he usually breaks for the depart
ment stores where he hangs over the
counters to talk and make love to the
lady clerks, who, in spare moments,
sometimes indulge his fancies for the
general amusement of the crowd. But
Hermann has one certain waitress he
feels he likes better than the rest and
this time he brought letter for her
which he triumphantly showed to the
police force.
The letter was addressed to Mine
Sweetheart Lizzi," in which he speaks
OF their living on SIS a month when
they got ''merryt'
Hermann is also a musician and
when he was searched at the police
headquarters all tina: was found on
MIN was the letter and the mouth
piece Of musical instrument. When
asked what this was for Hermann
told the boys that he had come to Join
the Fargo band.

Grain Letter.

" Chicago, Aug. 2T--Wheat: The mar
ket opened steady to shade higher
and ruled strong throughout the ses-
sion. The change in tone arose large
~ from the fact that exporters were
again in the market, we ourselves
having sold some wheat to France on
overnight acceptances and had bids
at the same prices for more. Winni-
peg reports number one northern
wheat sold to France, so that it would
appear that wheat at the present
level is attracting the attention OF
foreign buyers. IL Europe is coming
into our market as a buyer of wheat
to any extent. the effect will be to
give us higher prices and such de-
mand will have a tendency to offset
the weight caused by present heavy
supplies. we feel friendly to the mar
ket and think prices will work higher.

BOLD ROBBERY
Is ATTEMPTED
TRANSIENT IN GRAND FORKS
BREAKS WIN DOW IN MUNRO
JEWELRY STORE WITH
BRICK.

Grand Forks. N. D., Aug. 27.-One Of
the boldest attempts at robbery ever
known in Grand Forks took place at
midnight last night when Henry Little,
a transient in the city. haiIing from
Bemidji, Mimi, broke the plate glass
window in the front of George K
Munro's jewelry store and endeavored
to help himself Officer Bliven heard
the crash and sprinting from half a
block away arrived on the scene in
time to collar the thief before he had
chance to escape. The employees of
Logan's dairy lunch, just across the
street, also heard the noise and ralt
out Little was, or at least pretended
to be half drunk and asked the Logan
employees. Where does Murphy live?"
To the officer he remarked that he
must have fallen against the window.
Yes. but where did the brick come
fronl?" was a query which Little was
unable to answer. The brick used was
q common brick, picked up in the alley.
AS Officer Bliven was escorting his
captive to the city hall he noticed that
the fellow kept one hand in his pocket.
When the city hall was reached the
would be thief was searched and six
stick pins were found. The window
was broken at the left hand side near
a small case containing the stick pins
and evidently Little's desire was to get
these, for only few inches away were
valuable watches worth infinitely more
money.
Little also had on his person
working cards from ST. Paul showing
that no was a member OF the union
OF electrical stage employees. He is a
middle-aged man and decidedly tough
looking character. The fact that he
cid not attempt to run away made his
capture easy, but the insane impulse
that led him to attempt robbery on
downtown street is unexplained, as
he refuses absolutely to talk.

Grain Opinions.

, Finley Darrell G. Co: While we con-
! tinue to feel it will be very difficult
matter for bulls to bring about any
permanent advance in wheat until
there is a decided revival in either ex.
port or domestic demand and until
september liquidation is out Of the
way we would advise caution in in
creasing short holdings on breaks.
Logan & Bryan: New buying in
centives are needed to get the wheat
market out of the rut and for the
present a scalping market is in pros
Fpect.
Shearson- Hammill & Co.: Local
professionals are operating on the bull
side of wheat without any assistance
whatever from the outside and ii looks
as though they had undertaken
pretty heavy contract in view of the
carrying charges against them and in
adequate cash demand. A purely
theoretical foreign demand and an
absence of outside buying which
leaves the burden of support entirely
on their shoulders. H. w. & Co.

JUDGE RAxTER's DECISION.
Court Says Electricity for Picture Ma
chine Is Power.


The water and light commission at
Fergus Falls declined to supply a local
theatre with light because the man
ayers used the electricity of another
concern for power and the commits
sion claimed it was light. Under a
contract with the city the private con-
Germ can supply power, but not light.
Judge Baxter in his decision, inti-
mates that the electricity for the NOV
ing picture machine Is power. rather
than light, and directs that the theatre
management make formal application
for lights and that the commission
act upon such application forthwith,
the court adds that it has power to
compel the commission to act upon an
application. but has not the power to
decide what action 1t shall take.

THE DISTRICT JUDeEsHlP.
Fergus Falls Paper Just a Little Bit
Premature.

Fergus Falls Journal (Friday): 1t
Is reported that the fall term of the
district court which convenes in No
vember, will be adjourned until Janu-
airy of this year. Judge Baxter is pre-
pairing to retire from the bench with
the close of the year and wishes to
have all matters that have been heard
before him disposed of by that time.
1t is therefore probable that he will
adjourn the fall term of court and
leave the trial Of the cases to Judge
John w. Mason in January.

voters of the Seventh Judicial district

Falls was elected and what was his
