MARRIED COUPLE AS TRAMPs
Receive Reformatory Sentence at ST.
Cloud for Stealing a Gold Watch.

st. Cloud.-John and Maggie Young,
% and 18 years old, respective
ly, claiming to be husband and wife,
told most remarkable story before
Judge M. d. Taylor before receiving
reformatory sentences for stealing a
gold watch. Both say they have been
tramps since childhood, the girl since
she was IL years of age and Young
since the age of 9. They say they have
no relatives living and nobody to take
an interest in them. They claim to
have been married in Bismarck, N. D.,
two years ago, but the records of that
county fail to show marriage license
issued to the pair.
When questioned separately, the man
said they were married at a Baptist
church in that city and the girl in the
house where she was working.
The crime for which they were ar
rested occurred recently near Long
Prairie, in Todd county. They stopped
at farmers house for something to
eat and nights lodging. After they
left the next morning the farmer found
that his gold watch was missing and,
suspecting the pair, followed them up
and caught them with the goods"
Both pleaded guilty before Judge Tay-
lor and on account of their age were
given reformatory sentences.

Sank Center.-The business men

Commercial Club are in favor of the

senators from Stearns county.
1t is said that Sank Center lost the
Keller factory chiefly because it was
cheaper to do business in Minneapo.
lis, and that discrimination is made
against the small towns and cities
which the eastman act would obviate
Sank Center suffered with the loss OF
that factory, and finds that it is diff.
ficult to induce factories to begin op.
erations here, because in freight rates
the cities have the advantage.
1t is also said that the same thing
applies to shipments, especially OF
wheat and other grains. 1t costs /
cent more bushel to ship wheat from
this city to the Twin Cities than it
does from other nearby towns, and 1t
is said that goods can be shipped al.
most as cheaply to Fargo, N. d., as
to Sank Center, difference of many
miles, the difference being only few
cents.
The petition is being signed and will
be forwarded today and there is some
talk OF sending a delegation to ST.

No pains is being spared to produce a
show which, from an artistic as well
as a business viewpoint, will appeal
particularly to country people.
There will be million and half
dollars worth of cars and accessories
and the two hundred and fifty odd
cars and commercial vehicles shown
will comprise all that is new and novel
in motor circles. Farmers will find
plenty of interest in them, as there
will be shown many new types OF
convertible automobiles specially de
signed and adapted to the needs OF
those in the rural districts. Thou
sands of dollars are being spent in
decorations, bands, soloists and other
forms of entertainment, and the 1911
auto show in Minneapolis will, it is
thought, break all former records, both
for attendance and business done.
