COMES TO FARGO
TO CLAIM BRIDE
FEEBLE MINDED YOUTH OF VAL.
LEY CITY MAKES SECOND TRIP
TO FARGO TO CLAIM HIS BRIDE
THE POLICE TAKE HIM IN
CHARGE.

Herman Cook, OF Valley City, a fee
e-minded youth about 81 years Of
age, came to Fargo Saturday after
noon to claim a bride and take her
home with him. The police department
were notified by the Valley City au-
thorities to be on the watchout for him
and send him home Immediately upon
his arrival. They caught the unfor-
tunate lad and put him on the Valley
City train Saturday evening. ".a
This Is the second time the boy has
come to Fargo on the same errand and
the police have been asked to assist
in his return. Several months ago he
came to the city in search of a certain
waitress whom he declared he was go
Ing to marry on sight. He has a great
fondness for hanging over the coun-
tiers In the department stores and
flirting with the young women clerks,
who sometimes have laughingly in
dulged his idiosyncrasies.
Just where his bride was this time,
no one was able to tell as he was re-
ceived by the police as he alighted
from the train. He is the son Of a |
German farmer in the Valley |
City vicinity, and we'll known about |
that city. 1t is seldom he causes any
worry as his surreptitious visits to |
Fargo are infreCuent.

Made = KILLING.

Minot, N. D.. Aug. I5.-Local horse
men are interested in the report from
Butte, Mont, which is to the effect that
Geneva" the 4-year-old mare owned
by John F. Moore of this city, won the
five furlong dash at the Butte track
Saturday Mr.. Moore was backing his
entry to the limit, and the bookies were
playing the mare at a hundred to one
shot It is believed that Mr.. Moore
made the biggest killing of the sea-
son in Saturdays race. Friends of
Mr.. Moore are awaiting a detailed ac-
count of the coup, as they believe John
finally turned the trick and fairly
busted the bank in Saturdays race
Geneva is one of the promising
youngsters which Mr.. Moore took from
Minot last year, and while she has
been showing poorly of late, Mr.
Moore had absolute confidence in her
and in recent letters to friends he
intimated that before the season ended
he would make killing with Geneva.
And he evidently did.

ARTIFICIAL LEGS

RUN OVER RY TRAIN LAST
YEAR ARTIFICIAL LEcs-soME
MONEY ALREADY RAISED.

A big effort is to be made to secure
artificial legs for Floyd Gerard, the
small boy who, about year ago, was
run over by a train in this city and
had both legs severed, one above and
the other below the knee. Already the
senior class of last years high school
has signified it's willingness to donate
$50 for the fund and this money is
now available.
1t will require $500 to secure the two
legs, and the Minneapolis Artificial
Limb company. of which w. J. John
son Is the agent for this section, has
agreed to give $40 and George w. Ma
han has agreed to contribute the sum
of SIS. This leaves $125 yet to be OBJ
tanned and in view of the very worthy
object of the money should not by
any means be hard to raise.

Creamery Man Pleads Guilty.

Ventura, N. D., Aug. 15.-Assistant
Dairy Commissioner e. H. Pierce OF
Bismarck swore to a complaint Sat
urday afternoon against T. M. Buch-
holz, who operates a cream station
here. The charge brought against
Buchholz was that his place was being
operated under very unsanitary con.
ditions. He decided not to risk a trial
by the state and pleaded guilty in
justice court to the charge brought
against him, and was let off with a
fine. He cleaned up his place thor
oughly before the dairy commissioner
left the town, and will see to it that
1t remains that way. The dairy de-
partment OF the state is waging a
strict war on unsanitary cream sta
tions, and they will all be severely
dealt with If they violate the laws.

SMALL BLAZE ON
The NORTH Side
SHED AT REAR OF RESIDENCE
OF MRS. eEUTINe BURNS WHILE
FAMILY is AWAY-FIRE WELL
UNDER WAY BEFORE ARRIVAL
OF DEPARTMENT.

The fire department was called about
$3.50 o'clock Saturday evening to the
residence of Mrs. Gertrude Geuting at
222 Fifth street north, to extinguish a
blaze in shed at the rear Of the house.
The fire was we'll under way before
the alarm was sent into the fire sta
ton, but 1t was soon checked by the
quick work of the flame fighters. 1t
Is estimated by the fire department
that the loss was in the neighborhood
of 5000.
The family had just moved into the
house and had not yet gotten establish
ed and many pieces of furniture in
Guiding an ice chest, numerous articles
of winter clothing and two bicycles be-
longing to the children were stiIl in
the shed waiting to be put in their
proper places. The family had gone
down street for the evening and a
roomer was the sole occupant of the
house when the fire was discovered.
The fire department made quick work
OF the flames, though much damage
had been done before the alarm had
been turned in. A burning mattress in
the shed caused considerable smoke.
Members of the Geuting family do not
know what caused the fire as care had
been taken to see that matches and
old papers had been removed.
Louis Thornton is the owner of the
house. The fire was first discovered by
J. III. Gravelle, living opposite, who
telephoned the fire department.

Rained All nav.

La Moure, N. D., Aug. I5.-This To-
cality was visited Saturday by heavy
rain and thunderstorm which began
early and continued through the entire
day. 1t came as godsend to the local
farmers and everyone else.
Although the rain comes too late to
help the grain and Is only hindrancs
to farming operations, it will be a
great boon to the pastures and the hay
fields which were almost ruined by the
severe drought. The severe tension as
to the scarcity of butter on the local
markets is believed to be materially
relieved by the rainfall.

train and sent to Casselton where a
job awaits him in the harvest fields
nearby.
Julius Is a man about forty years
Of age who has been coming to Fargo
generally at an interval of every two
months for the past three or four
years. He is subject to what is COM
monty known as "whiskey hts," a
milder form of the delerium tremens.
During these fits he usually INDUCES
his whims to the extent of trying To
main himself in some degree, and on
one occasion was found trying to cut
out his tongue and the officers were
compelled to put him in handirons.
This is the first time that he has
been arrested without having on his
person a bottle OF alcohol which he

The performance had been "Corio-

pain and tired with his work He
stumbled against the runway, causing
such a twinge in his toe as to make
him cry out with the pain.
A young actor standing by unfortu-
