FINE AND WAS RELEASED.

G. B. Briggs of a prominent COM

Mr.. Briggs is the owner of a large
farm in Alliance township where, as
is his usual custom, he spends some

INDIAN WAS full
U. S. CITIZEN
THEREFORE TWO MEN ARREST.
ED LAST NIGHT FOR GIVING IL
oUoR TO INDIANS COULD NOT
BE HELD AS THAT WAS NOT A
FEDERAL oFFENSE.

Last night, Albert Terrill and Mike
Smith, were arrested by Plain Clothes
Detective OVERLY, on q charge OF Civ
ing liquor to Arthur Gray, a full blood
Sioux Indian residing on the White
Earth reservation near Detroit, Mimi,
who had come to town to see the wild
west show. This morning the federal
authorities investigated the matter
and it was found by w. H. Barnett,
assistant u. s. attorney, and Gilbert
Stout, deputy u. S. marshal, that the
government could not hold either of
the men, due to the fact that Gray
was a citizen of several years stand
ing.
In Mr.. Barnett's office, Gray stated
that he was a citizen and had been
given grant of land by the govern
ment several years ago, and was priv
ileged to vote at elections. He resided
on the White Earth reservation near
Detroit, Mimi, and referred the fed
eral attorney to Indian Agent Howard
of the White Earth reservation. Tel
ephone communication was immedi.
ately established with the Indian
agent by Deputy Marshal Stout, and
the Indians assertions were verified.
It was then the plan of the police
department to have Smith and Terrill
apprehended by the North Dakota au-
thorities under the state statutes pro-
hibiting the giving or selling Of liquor
by anyone to Indians. The matter
was placed in the hands of States At
torney Fowler, who made a thorough
investigation, which resulted in find
ing neither Of the men guilty Of any
offense.
At the time when Terrill and Smith
were arrested, they were seen with the
whisky bottle in company with the In
dian, whom they had promised a
drink. According to all accounts of the
incident, both from officer OVERLY, the
Indian and the two men, the arrest
was made just when Gray was start
ing to take the bottle in his hands pre-
paratory to taking drink, and he had
not touched drop. Neither had there
been any arrangement as to Gray's
paying for the drink, nor did he give
either Of the men any money for it.
AS 1t was evident that no case could
be found against the friends Of the In
dams they were turned loose this aft
ernoon.

Yes, that is the reason you run to me,
And that is the pitiful tale you tell.
You didn't notice that stone that lay
In your path as along you danced
and skipped;
You never saw it at all, you say,
Till suddenly all in heap you'd
tripped.

AS into my arms you sobbing run
To show me the bruised and battered
knee;
'See what the naughty sidewalk done,
See how it hurried your little GIRL

And brush from your forehead each
tousled curl.
Behold. there are smiles on your face

years,
Winning, stretching OFT Tar aneau,
Many a bruise will start your tears,
Many the stones where you must

And you have troubles you want to

You still will come in your love to him.

TWO MEN ARRESTED ON CHARGE.
THAT TaEY DISPOSED OF
LIQUOR TO RED MEN--MAYoR
DAvY AND OFFICIALS DELIGHT
ED WITH THE ARREST.

Mayor Davy, officials Of his adj
ministration and the rank and file Of
the business men of Moorhead are
gratified more than words can express
over the catch, through the medium
Of the police of both cities. of a sample
of the men who are, and have been
factors in illegally supplying intoxi-
eating liquors to Indians who officially
and otherwise visit Fargo at intervals.
Two men, Mike Smith and Albert Ter
rill were arrested in Fargo last night.
One of them is known to the police
and his antecendents are being investi-
gated.
For some time plain clothes men
have been watching for the source Of
supply through which certain Indians
were getting their Are water" 1t was
reasonably certain that white men
were buying liquors in Moorhead and
other places on orders from Indians
when they happened to be in Fargo or
vicinity, but the only way to catch the
white men was to watch suspects very
carefully
Mayor Davy has been extremely anx-
ious for a cateh that an example
could be made of the go-betweens who
were engaged in the despicable bust
ness and he has done all in his power
to assist the police to accomplish re-
suits.
Officer Erickson was assigned to
plain clothes work and he worked in
conjunction with an astute plain
clothes man over in Fargo and a win
ming came to the officers last night.
The officials hope a clear case can be
made against the two men who were
arrested
'The go-betweens might as well un-
derstand first as last that there is
determined effort being made in Moor
head to stop the smuggling OF intoxi-
cants to Indians" said Mayor Davy.
cit does not matter whether the lat
ter are still wards of the government

AUTO PLUNGED
FROM BRIDGE
QUARTET FROM MEKINock, ~. "a
CAME TO GRIEF NEAR
EUCLID.

Grand Forks. N. D., Aug. 26.--Wed>
nesday afternoon, while Messrs. Hal
vorson and Blockssad, Of Mekinock, N.
D., accompanied by the Saken sisters
from the same place, were speeding
their automobile on a road four miles
west OF Euclid, the machine turned
turtle at the approach to bridge over
a coulee and the whole party fell un-
der the machine to The coulee bottom,
fifteen feet below. The men escaped
without severe injury, but both girls
were hurt, one of them sustaining
broken rib and several serious cuts and
bruises about her head and face, one
ear being half torn off, with long
cash across the cheek. The other sis
ter. though badly bruised and cut, is
not seriously hurt.
1t seems that the two men, accom-
panied by the young ladies came to
this city Wednesday morning in the
automobile to attend the Wild West
show. After the show, the young
men INDUCED rather too freely in
drinks and started out for a motor
ride late in the afternoon, taking the
young ladies with them. Not being
entirely responsible for their actions,
they began speeding their machine
and when about four miles west OF
Euclid, they were going at a rate OF
fifty miles an hour when they struck
the approach to the bridge over cou-
lee running along the edge of the
farm owned by Carl Zeltwanger.
There the machine turned over, fall
ing to the coulee bottom, fifteen or
twenty feet below. One Of the young
man ont NJ fba xwpnrE fYnYna-
diately, but was apparently in a DAG
ed condition. as he wandered of
across the prairie without waiting to
learn of the condition Of his ccEn-
panions remaining in the wreck.
The accident was witnessed by Mrs.
Zeltwanger and her daughters from
the farm house, near the bridge, and
they went Immediately to the relief
of the young people, succeeding in
getting the two young ladies into the
house and telephoning for medical
aid. The sisters were found to be so
seriously injured as to render their
removal from the farm house impos-
slble for several days and the young
man who remained in the wreck was
also accommodated there.
The other young man wandered in
to Euclid during the evening and was
placed under arrest by the authorities
there, but was allowed his freedom
yesterday morning on his promise to
make all necessary arrangements for
the care of the sisters and to bear
all expense.
The machine is a total wreck. and
the quartet are indeed fortunate that
they escaped instant deah.

BroomhaII's Report

Liverpool, Aug. 26.-The wheat
market at opening was affected by
the firmness in America yesterday and
values were NON higher. Following
opening market became firm and val
ues showed an additional advance of
y to e. Offerings were light and de-
mand active, stimulated by the con-
tinued unsettled weather in the United
Kingdom, good outside speculative
buying and the smaller Indian ship
ments. Just before midday, however,
a slight recession occurred and values
declined u on pressure to sell Dan
ubian and Russian wheat. AT this
time market was firm and q to 70
higher than yesterday. Corn about
unchanged. Indian wheat shipments
this week $4,000 bushels; last week
1,656,ooO bushels; last year. $4,000.
Australian shipments wheat this week
$4,000; last week $4,000; last year

Grain Lattar.

Chicago. Aug. 26.-wheat-The
market opened steady to a shade cas-
Ter, and ruled dull and heavy during
the early part of the session. There
was considerable liquidation in Sep
TENDER wheat, both in the way Of
outright sales and in changing to later
months. Local professional buying
brought about an advance of &c from
the low point, but the advance did not
hold, owing largely TO hack of outside
support. Export limits are again be-
low a working basis. The market at
the moment seems to be of a trading
character with large percentage Of
trade professional. Until the cash de-
mand improves we feel that the
weight of our present heavy stocks
is to great to allow Of any sustained
advance.

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett Frazier Co.: We do not
sympathize with the advance in wheat
as we see no indication Of a cash de-
mand sufficient to relieve the weight
OF our present heavy stocks. The
strength in corn and the bulllsh senti-
menI of the local professionals con-
tributed the greater part of the
strength shown in yesterdays market.
We are inclined to doubt very much
whether any damage to corn will &C.
cur from the present cool wave.
Finley Darrell Co.: AS the upturn
in wheat was purely sympathetic and
as much short wheat was covered, the
technical position Of the market has
been weakened, We therefore believe
1t advisable to replace short sales OH
any further improvement.
s. B. Chaplin & Co.: Wheat values
may work little higher on oversold pit
conditions, but without the stimulating
effect of a general milling demand
think stocks will be oppressive and
that prices will work gradually lower.
Logan g. Bryan: Corn market is a
weather affair, and should damaging
frosts materialize prices will work
much higher.
