North Dakota Industrial Exposition
closed Saturday night. 1t was the
ending of successful show of three
weeks duration and as is usual the

displays are removed and the big ex'

Much of the vegetable displays went
to the Salvation Army to be distrib'

ate the gift.
Every exhibitor without exception
had nothing but kind words for the
management and for the people OF
Bismarck and all declared a desire
to have the exposition made perman-
ent.
Much of the grain was boxed uo and
sent back to the couuies whence 1t
came and an army of workmen were
Kept busy. Drays and vans lined the
streets hauling the goods to the ware
houses.
Superintendent Gilbreath and his
force will be occupied some days in
distributing the premiums awarded
by the judges in the different depart

companied by Deputy Sheriff Ed.
Barnes and a number of patrolmen
and deputies swooped down upon the
Kangaroo police and ran them in.
They were taken before Police Magis-
trate Casselman and charged with
impersonation of an officer, contrary
to the peace and dignity of the state
of North Dakota. Each of the de-
PENDANTS asked for two hours wherein

leased under bonds of $1.85h apiece.
Later some of them returned and
were found guilty, receiving fines Of
from 80 cents to $1.03 each. Others
forfeited their bonds. Still others
evidently skidooed the town, for they
have not been found by the local Of
ficials since.

afraid of ghosts and goblins-they are
not that kind. Nor are they afraid
to 60 home in the dark. But it was
Sunday morning, so the music ceased
and the merrymakers departed for
their respective homes and hotels.

ending of the first annual North Da-
