AGED man DROVE
into RED RIVER
JOHN cAETEWsKI WAS DROWN
Ed AT OSLO WHILE ATTEMPT
ING TO CROSS.

! Oslo, Mimi. July 3.--Friday after
noon at oslo the Red river claimed
its first victim for this year. John
Chetewski, aged 81 years, resident
Of Warsaw, N. D.. while attempting to
cross the river drove into the stream
and was drowned. Chetewskt had
been in Oslo during the afternoon and
started for home at about o'clock
When the aged man approached the
river, the ferry was at the other side,
but he did not appear to notice this
fact and deliberately drove down the
approach and into the river. Before
help could arrive both the team and
the man were drowned. At about s
o'clock the body was found, Coroner
Peterman from Argyle was summon
ed and arrived at Oslo about 10
o'clock Friday night. AS the hour was
so late, the inquest was delayed until
this morning.
Chetewski was one Of the oldest
residents Of Warsaw, having resided
there for the past thirty years. He
Is. survived by ten children, three Of
whom are married. The family are
very poor and are left in almost des-
titute circumstances. The horses
drowned were the only ones owned
BIZ the man. One of the horses was
blind which may have accounted for
the fact that they were 50 easily driv-

SMALL CIRCUS
CAUSE Big ROW

Aberdeen. s. D., July S.-An inter-
esting encounter between the citizens
of Britton and the farmers of Marshall
county, on the one hand. and the en-
ployes of a travelling circus, including
the elephants and the band, on the
other, resulted in victory for South
Dakota citizenry and defeat for the
circus people. Britton annually hold
a three days race meet. This year
the dates for the race meet were fixed
for June %. 20 and 80. After the dates
had been announced. the advance man
for the circus appeared and sought a
license for the circus to give per-
Torrance at Britton on June 20. The
Britton city auditor objected to giving
the license, because he feared the cir
Gus would be too dangerous COMPETE
ton for the race meet Finally a
compromise was effected, by the
terms of which the race meet was to
start on the disputed date at o'clock
in the afternoon, and the circus not to
start it's performance until the races
were over
With this understanding, the cir
Gus man secured his license. When
the circus people saw the crowds that
thronged the town, however. cupidity
overcame their judgement of the rea-
lization of the value Of keeping a.
promise, and they decided to start at
the usual hour. believing the circus
would prove a greater attraction to
most of the crowd than the horse
races.
Britton people were surprised
therefore, to see, shortly after 1 o'clock
the circus getting in line for the street
parade. Quick action was necessary
and the Britton residents massed
themselves across the streets in such
manner that the parade could not
pass. The farmers FASTENED to the
aid Of the townspeople, and soon
thousands were grouped in the street
determined the circus should not in
terrupt the racing by the parade. The
| circus band marched. followed by the
parade, but the crowds did not bulge.
Discounted, the circus leaders with
drew for consultation, and then
changed their tactics. Suddenly the
elephants in the circus were massed
together and placed at the head OF
the procession. Again the band play
ed gaily and the big parade. headed
by q dozen elephants forming a solid
i phalanx, moved on the crowd. Again
the crowd refused to bulge. and when

were not able to attend the editorial
meeting at Devils Lake last week, but
our sorrow was somewhat assuaged on
viewing the cartoon of Billy Newton in

the editors mostly in decollette shirts
and abbreviated panties bathing in the
Devils inland sea. If that Is the way
they looked we are glad we were not
there. We re too yoaung and tender for
such distraction. Even in the cartoon
we only dare but glance at the scene
where Kernel Brewer in his naked
"Cupidity" waded clear up to his
ankles while Richter of Larimore stood

Of revolvers. In the language Of a
local poet ooh. it was awfully awful"

The Boy For Me-"

A gentleman advertised for a boy
and nearly fifty came to see him.
Out of the whole number he chose
one, and dismissed the rest.
Il should like to know" said a
friend, why you picked out that
boy, who had not single recon-
mendation?"
You are mistaken" said the gen.
tleman; he had great many. He
wiped his feet when he came in and
closed the door after him, showing
that he was careful.
He gave his seat instantly to
that lame old man, showing that he
was thoughtful and kind. He took
off his cap, and answered my ques-
tons promptly sho wing that he
was gentlemanly.
He picked up a book l had pur-
poSely laid on the floor, and repIac-
ed it upon the table; and he waited
quietly for his turn instead of push
ing and crowding, showing that he
was honorable and orderly.
When talked to him l noticed
that his clothes were brushed and
his hair in order; when he wrote his
name, l noticed that his fineer.nails
were clean.
Don't you call these little things
recommendations? do; and
would give more for what l can tell
about a boy by using my eyes than
for all the letters he can bring.
