LOOKING FOR THE AUTO
Carl Void and Authorities Looking for
His Automobile Which He Trad
ed for Slot Machines.

Carl Void of Hendrum. who trad
ed his automobile for four slot machines
and $40 consideration besides and
found he had nothing but the cash
for his machine. is still looking for the
man who traded him the machines and
who has now got his automobile.
Mr.. Void had been wanting to dis
pose of his automobile and offered it
for $500. A trade was proposed
wherein Mr.. Void would receive four
slot machines and a monetary consid-
GRAFTON Of $40 for his car, which he
agreed to take. After bill Of sale had
been made out and signed before a
local notary public. the other man took
possession of the car and Mr.. Void
went to claim his slot machines, which
were located in a certain pool room in
the city.
well known colored man in the
CITY, who evidently was a party to the
plan perpetrated upon MIR. Void, went
with him to the pool room before the
trade was made and agreed to take
the slot machines Off his hands at once
at a profit for what the original pur-
chaser gave for them. However, when
the time came for the man to pay the
money, 1t was found the colored in
dividual had skipped the town and the
man in the automobile is also num-
bered among the missing. So Mr..
Void is still looking for his machine
and the men, and wanting to get rid
of his slot machines. City Attorney
Shure was retained by Mr.. Wold to find
the guilty parties.

SAYS He Was Mike Davis.

A Fergus Falls paper says that 1t has
been learned in Breckenridge that
George Estrance. who was in jail there
two years ago for burglarizing the
bank at Foxhome. is none other than
Mike Davis, who got away at the time
that Behan was captured in the rob-
berry Of the store at Pupowsky. This
was the robbery which resulted in the
arrest of Mayor Dumas of Cass Lake,
and the sensational developments
which stirred the entire northern part
of the state. Davis Is still at large,
and reward is offered for his capture.
He was held in the Breckenridge jail
for some time on the charge of the
Foxhome robbery, but was acquitted at
the trial, as the evidence was not
sufficient to convict him. a total OF
$4,000 was stolen at Foxhome.

iowa Man Crossed Over From Fargo
and Began Selling Apples
Without Any Ado.

III. Fl. Bagley of Iowa learned this
morning that the city OF Moorhead
protects Its local business people who
pay rent and taxes and in other ways
do their share In the uplift and adj
vancement Of the city. Mr.. Bagley
crossed over from Fargo with two
dray loads of apples, invaded the resi-
dence district and began to rake In
the shekels.
A wideawalxe citizen learned the man
had not armed himself with license
and soon he was having a little con-
ference with the chief Of police whose
only alternative was to take Mr.. Bag
ley before justice Of the peace with
the result that a fine OF IS and costs,
$3.50 was paid. Mr.. Bagley said he
was only going to be here two days
and that 1t would not pay to take out
a license so he returned to Fargo.

The Hospital Wireless.

New York Sun: "A very efficient sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy exists in
every hospital" said the nurse. "Ap-
parently all patients have the knack
of transmitting messages, otherwise
the news OF serious cases would not
travel so quickly and accurately from
ward to ward It is contrary to the
rules for hospital attendants to re-
tail gossip and most of them observe
strict secrecy. yet notwithstanding
that precaution there is never an inter
esting case in the building whose his
tory is not known and discussed In
the remotest corner
Last week a boy suffering with a.
peculiar kind of throat trouble was
brought into first floor ward The
doctors were very much interested in
the case, yet they took especial pains
never to mention 1t in the hearing Of
another patient. But for all the good
their caution did they might as well
have lectured on the case In every
ward, for when the boy died men and
women all about the hospital said to
the nurses:
" so that poor boy died, did he? I
guess there wasn't much hope for him
from the start.
Now, how did the news travel7"

New York Telegraph: Prof. Angus

PANAMA CANAL STATUE.
San Francisco Paper Makes susses-

San Francisco Paper Makes susses-
ton for Those in Movement.
The women Of the Pacific coast are
said to be planning for the erection
of a colossal statue of peace at the en-
trance of the Panama canal. They have
even gone so far as seriously to con-
slider a model prepared by a woman
sculptor of San Francisco. who has de-
signed a figure surrounded with the
usual emblems of peace. such as lambs
and lions, doves and olive branches.
1t is a fine idea, and it should be
carried out. 1t is true that the canal
will bristle with artillery, but that is
all the more reason for such counter
acting influences as may be diffused
by an imposing statue
Perhaps an alternative scheme may
be suggested by the devotees of the
now waning Rooseveltiar cult, who are
fond OF pointing to the canal and its
fortifications as evidences Of the pa
triotic services of the ex-president.
How would it do to erect a statute of
Mr.. Roosevelt himself in some sym
bolic attitude and bearing on a scroll
