ANOTHER CHECK
DRAWN ON SHURE
THIRD CHECK DRAWN ON CITY
ATTORNEY THROUGH THE GER.
MANIA BANK IN MINNEAPOLIS
FOUND TO HAVE BEEN PRE-
sENTEp BY CHICAGO GIRL.

Still another check on w. H. Shure
city attorney, was found to have been
drawn on his account by Marguerite
York, former domestic in his house
hold. 1t is thought the third check
was cashed at at the Germania bank
in Minneapolis under the name OF
Irene Bryan" which the young
woman gave in the mill city.
Sheriff Boyle left for Minneapolis
last night to bring back the York
girl and will arrive in the city this
afternoon. The Germania bank has
been wired at the time Of the presen.
tation of the check and notified TO
look for the girl.
1t was learned that she had told
the police department in st. Paul
that the checks had been sent to
her by City Attorney Shure in pay
ment OF wages due her. The story
was refuted by Mr.. Shure Saturday
night. None Of the signatures on any
of the checks resemble the city at
torney's handwriting in the least, and
were all made out on blanks much
smaller than his official checks which
bear his name in print.
One of the checks was cashed at
the A. L. Moody store in this city,
the second at the Plymouth store In
Minneapolis and the third, discovered
yesterday afternoon, is believed to
have been cashed through the Germania
bank in that city. Prosecution win be
commenced Immediately uooH her ar

Chinnnn Naws.

The Russian wheat crop estimate of
917,634.000 bushels against S74,000,000
last year, given out yesterday as COM
ing from the international statistical
institute at Rome, is very significant.
The international institute is an Of
fetal bureau maintained by contribu-
tions from the governments of the
leading countries of the world having
agricultural statistical departments,
and in effect 1t is an international
clearing house for official government
statistics. 1t makes no estimates of
it's own but merely tabulates any pre-
official estimates. The Russian esti-
mates therefore may be taken as a
second-handed presentation Of an Of
fetal estimate and it is significant as
showing the steady increase in the re-
ported size of the Russian crop.-B.

Interest has been aroused in the at
titude taken by Ada Comstock of this
city, as dean Of women at the state
university. She has put ban on am
bilious schemes for a girls track meet
next spring and for a girls athletic
contest Just before each of the weekly
dances in the university armory.
Coach Grant proposed a curtain
raiser for each dance. to increase its
attractiveness and better compete with
the downtown dance halls, by having
either young men or young women
give exhibitions OF swinging or
dumb bell exercises.
Miss Comstock says she approves of
exercises for girls, but will not per-
nit contests or competitive exhibit
tions. She says the people of the state
would be shocked to hear that theil
daughters at the university were in
dulging in high jumping or pole
vaulting contests. Tennis or basket
bali games she will permit, but moth
ing more strenuous.

CHRISTMAS PARTY
THE WELL KNOWN HUNTER OF
NORTH DAKOTA WILL. ENTER
TAIN A BIG PARTY AT HIS LAKE

Col ]. ]. Gokey. perhaps the great
est hunter in North Dakota, and one
of Colonies Roosevelt's close friends,
has issued large number of invita-
tions to his many friends over the

rangements to partake of the colonePs
yuletide hospitality.
Colonel Gokey is one of the best
known figures in North Dakota and
has the reputation of being one of the
greatest hunters in the northwest. His
record for prairie chicken and wild
goose hunting is unsurpassed in the
fiickertail state, and his fame for
shooting other game is equally as
great
Several years ago when Colonel
Roosevelt, then president, was at Bis
marck, Colonel Gol1ey rode over to the
state capital and presented the ma
tons first citizen. with an extraordi-
nary bag of chickens which had fall
len of his own shooting. The presl-
dent was exceedingly enthusiastic over
the compliment and his chicken dinner
was one of the repasts he relished
most or his western trip. Colonel
Gokey still dresses in his former style
Of the frontiersman and wears. his hair
long in the fashion of the. old hero of
the western plains.
Invitations to the big Christmas
party to be given at the Roosevelt club
house on Lake Isabel by the colonel
and Mrs Gokey have been received by
many Of their Fargo friends.

Attorney Springs Peculiar Defense
in Civil Suit.

Jay Henry Long. an attorney. has
sprung new defense in a suit for Ii
ouor sold a saloonkeeper of Brainerd.
He proposes to maintain that the in
debtedness was incurred for intoxicat-
ing liquors for the purpose of intro
ducing them into the city in violation
Of the laws Of the United States and
especially in violation of a certain
treaty made by the United States with
certain Indian tribes. II Mr. Long
wins this case it will open long vista

The same idea was threatened In a
civil suit for the collection of liquor
bill in Moorhead only two or three
weeks ago, but when the widespread
results which were likely to arise, the
possible withdrawal of credit and
credit ratings to very large extent,
the matter was withdrawn and the de-
PENDANT willingly allowed judgment
for the amount OF the claim.
