MOTT JOKERS ARE
FINALLY JOKED
RuMoR THAT MOTT BANK HAD
BEEN ROBBED CAUSED SEN
sATIoN At BISMARCK.


Bismarck, N. D.. Oct. s.--What con-
etitutes joker
Many people have asked this ques-
ton and the answers are wide ana
varied.
Some persons measure a joke by
the discontinue a foolish act VIII
accomplish.
There Is no greater nuisance in
community than the practical joker,
for he enjoys a Joke only when 1t Is
played on someone else, and gets
very angry when the tables are
turned.
OF course the man who is given
10 repartee and who can recount fun
ny stories about his friends is q well
rome guest anywhere, but the fellow
who pins link of sausage TO your
roat tail, or makes o chalk mark on
your back and permits you to parade
the streets with it has very low
sense of fun. He belongs to the class
who tie tin cans to the tails of dogs
and frightens women and children at
night by playing burglar or ghost.
Occasionally society is relieved
from the burden of one of these fell
lows. He plans a hold-up Of his quiet
neighbor and gets his head blown on.
Mott, the spot town, has its share
OF jokers. This fact is evidenced by
what took place Friday when the
bulk Of the population was In Bis
rnArck with the Hettinger county con-
tingent. Probably feeling somewhat
lonesome, the stores Of Mott being
closed and business generally sus-
randed the two citizens who re-
manned at home thought 1t good
time TO pull Off joke. Acting on the
inspiration, they sent kilograms to
Bismarck stating that the First Ma
tional bank had been robbed and two
prominent citizens shot by the des-
peradoes.
The news caused great excitement
and the telegraph and telephone lines
to Mott were kept hot for several
hours. Bob Berry was one of the
frantic ones. One of the men named
as shot Is his business partner and
the robbery Of the bank took on a
serious aspect.
Knowing that Mr.. Berry would call
M his wife, the tokers telephoned
her the same story which was sent
TO blSTldTCh anu Sll6 ISpSatcd ~ ~
her husband over the wire.
After several hours Of worry an
other telegram came explaining that
the two citizens were only badly
shot"
II was a great joke measured by
the estimation Of the Mott jokers, but
1T was not appreciated by anyone
else.
The jokers spoiled the day for the
Mott visitors. The sheriff Of the
county was here and he sweat blood
for two hours, trying to get special
train for home.
But it Is different now. The jokers
of Mott are in Jail on a cracker and
water diet, and the sheriff and other
Indignant citizens declare that they
will stay there until they get thin and
weak enough to appreciate a really
good joke.
The Tribune was notified Of the
affair by wire with the idea no doubt
that 1t would appreciate the joke.

SHIPS HIMSELF AS FREIGHT
KANSAS MAN THUS SAVES RAIL
ROAD FARE TO TEXAS.
Took His Ride in a Wooden Box Six
Feet Long Under Classification
of "TaIking Machine"


HOUSTON, Texas. Banks Meyers
of Lawrence Kan, wishing to come
to Texas, but without the expense of
first-class railroad ticket, chose a
novel scheme to get to Galveston by
enclosing himself in a box and hay
ing himself expressed as a talking
machine" Had not a flask of water
broken before he reached FIT. Worth
he probably would have arrived at
his destination, but his thirst became
unbearable, and he was forced to
step from his box, much to the sur
prise of the messenger in the express
car.
At Fort Worth Meyers was taken
into custody, but was later released,
and he journeyed on to Galveston
on the cushions of a first-class pas
senger coach.
Meyers took his ride in a wooden
box six feet in length, three feet wide
and three feet deep. He procured
the box at a music store at Law
renee, and friend attended to the
shipping Providing himself with
lunch and two TASKS of water Meyers
craWled into the box, pulled the lid
down over him, the friend tagged the
box to Galveston as a talking ma
chine, and saw Meyers and the box
off.
The first night he slept well, but
awakening in the morning found one
OF the water TASKS had broken. On
Iy a small quantity remained in the
other flask, and by o'clock the next
morning the water supply was gone
and he was getting thirsty By noon
his thirst had become unbearable,
and when the train was thirty miles
out OF Fort Worth he was forced to
slip off the lid of the box and scam
per for the water cooler.
lie took the messenger by surprise
by his sudden appearance, but told
MS story when the messenger de-
manded an explanation as to how
ne got in the car The messenger
forced him back into the box. and
when the train arrived at Fort Worth
turned him over to the police. New
ers squared the deal by paying the
passenger and freight charges, and
was allowed to continue on to Cal
weston.
Meyers took his whole experience
as a joke, but he had something to
say relative to the method of hand
ling express as interpreted by some
express handlers. 81 wish | had a
chance to get back at those fellows
who handled my box at Kansas
City, he said ''They sure had their

THE LAWYERS GET NO PAY
Dougherty Commissioners Refuse to
Allow Fees for Special Assist
ants to Solicitor General.

ALBANY, Ga.-Lawyers appoint
ed by Judge Frank Park, upon the
recommendation of the grand jury,
to assist Solicitor General Wooten
in the prosecution of the famous
locker club case, and other alleged
prohibition violation cases, will get
no money for their services from the
county of Dougherty.
Solicitor General Wooten's bill
for 500, to cover this expense, was
yesterday turned down by the county
commissioners, although Colonel
Wooten stated that he had paid the
money out of his own pocket.
The action of the commissioners
was taken on the advice of l. J.
Hofmayer, county attorney, who
said that the commissioners had no
authority to pay the bill
A peculiar coincidence in this con-
nection is that Colonel Wooten and
Mr.. Hofmayer are law partners, thus
presenting a case in which one at
torney renders a decision that has
the effect of taking a neat little sum
of money out of his partners pocket
that is, unless the two attorneys
who assisted the solicitor see fit to
reimburse him.
Another feature is the fact that
Mr.. Hofmayer represented the Com
mercial Club in the court proceed
ings, as a result of which that or
ganization went out of business.
The two lawyers who were APP
pointed by Judge Park to assist Col
onel Wooten in prosecuting the lock-
er club and some blind tiger cases
were Col. R. j. Bacon of this city
and Col J. H. Upton of Sylvester.
They were appointed at the fall term
of the superior court.

PLAYS MARBLES WITH TOES
1t Is the Exercise Prescribed by "a
Doctor to Make N1iIliOnaires'
Feet Healthy.

CINCINNATI.-"You will have to
continue to play marbles with your
toes until you are able to pick up
the marble and place it in your hand
with them"
This prescription was given to NJ.
E. Moch, director of the Union Gas
and Electric Company and vice pres
ident of the Cincinnati Trust Co.,
which is Cox's bank, this afternoon
by DR.. Albert G. Frieberg.
Mr.. Moch went to the physician
and complained that his feet had
given out and he could hardly walk
DR.. Frieberg had him undress the
members and then put a marble on
the floor and asked him to pick it
up with his toes. OF course Mr.. Moch
couldn't accomplish the task. Then
he was told to try to accomplish this
every morning for an hour. When
he has practiced the stunt for a full
month he is to go back to DR.. Erie
berg and show him how it is done
The physician said that Mr.. Moch's
right foot is simply out of whack. A
tendon or small bone has slipped a
cog, and he says that to "get the
recalcitrant pedal member to proper
Juxtaposition again this marble will
have to be used very assiduously. J"
Mr. Moch says he will practice an
hour every morning, but that so far
as that 'juxtaposition business is
concerned / don't think very much of
it."
Mr.. Moch says he never played
golf, but thinks that an easy game
compared to his marbles in the
"bed-chamber" stunt.

A. W. Perrin of River Edge, n. J .,
who is to the world of chickens what
Luther Burbank is to the world of
fruit and flowers, takes pleasure in
announcing that he has just evolved
a new spring line of peripatetic poul-
try. Animated by desire to pro-
duce the portly black Orpington hen,
which weighs from eight to ten
pounds and for eleven months in the
year counts that day lost on which
it does not lay an egg, Mr.. Perrin
enlisted the services of white leghOrn
ROSTERS and dominica hens. They
justified the confidence he repOsed in
them, but the trouble is that the re-
Sultant black orpingtons have for
some reason beyond the ken of Mr..
Perrin developed into Unsuitable
globe trotters.
The landscape near River Edge is
now covered by 250 black orpingtOns
of Mr.. PERKINS, devising, and there
is not a black orpington in the lot
that will lay an egg where the egg
ought to- be laid. Through some
throwback to an Asiatic strain in the
leghorn the black Orpingtons have
broken all home ties, turned up their
noses at chicken coops and porcelain
eggs and have wandered up hill and
down dale, laying eggs under trees,
on the highway, in the middle of
fields and at other points far removed
from the pens in which Mr.. Perrin
has provided for their convenience.
Delivery Service Established.
Regular rural free delivery hens
are these. Whenever one of them
gets the idea that a neighbor a mile
or two away may need an egg the
hen proceeds forthwith to the home
OF that neighbor and presents him
with an egg. Sometimes out of the
goodness of their hearts groups of
the hens travel together and give, as
It were, a donation party. They
shower their eggs upon the just and
the unjust alike, and where the next
egg is to be laid not even clairvOy-
ant can tell
Now, these eggs are worth SO a
dozen to Mr.. Perrin. He much dis
liked to have the equivalent of 25-
Cent pieces distributed so gally ana
freely
He has tried to cajole the hens into
a stay at home frame of mind, but
they have the wanderlust so badly
mat in spite of his admonitions, en-
treaties and commands they persist
IN making little journeys to the
homes of the appreciative neighbors,
returning to Mr.. PERKINS, hennery
only for their board and lodging.
Suggests Egg Registers.
Persons to whom Mr.. Perrin has
revealed the story of the travelling
.ehdencies of the hens have suggest
eu that if he equip each of them with
Speedometer and bell punch and
equip himself with an abiding faith
III the honestg of his neighbors he
Iay be able to check up on the egg
ueiyeries that his heQs make in the
ueighborhood, sending in bill later

to those neighbors at whose doors
the kind-hearted hens have left eggs.
An egg is an egg the world over,
and when an egg is worth 25 cents
of anybody's money it is but natural
that the scientist to whose skill in
blending poultry this high price is
due should expect to have something
to show for his labors. But unless
some inventive person comes to the
front with practical suggestion it
looks as if Mr.. PERKINS, benevolent
hens will continue their charitable
endeavors to keep everybody near
River Edge, Mr.. Perrin only except
ed, supplied with eggs.
