I On one OF the trips to Moorhead the
young vandals were caught in pocket
between a machine and buggy. Two
women were in the vehicle and rather
than slow down they attempted to
knock the buggy to one side which they
did, and nearly spilled the occupants
of the rig.
While on one OF their numerous runs
up Broadway the two were caught in
another pocket between three automo-
biles and again rather than slow down
they attempted to forge ahead and
break the accidental pocket which had
been formed by the. other machines.
While trying to get out OF this hole
their big car narrowly missed striking
another car, and the ladies in the small
machine were badly frightened.
This morning Hershy and Bradberry
said that they would go on to Bis
marck as 1t was their intention to go
to the coast They presented a check
at the Wheelock garage to pay the bill
against them there. The check was
held and they were told that they could
the car just as soon as the check was

The Fargo financial institution tele-
phoned to the First National bank Of
Minneapolis on which the check was
drawn. and asked regarding the paper.
The money on the check was drawn
on the account Of w. H. Grassland
The officials Of the Minneapolis bank
stated that Mr.. Crossland,s check was
good for that amount very easily, but
that to their knowledge he was at the
present time in Devils Lake and not
in Fargo. Furthermore, he did all or
his banking at the Northwestern Ma
tional bank where his son was en-
ployed, and considering this fact that
they would advise the local bankers
to be rather slow about paying the
check.
Telegram From St. Paul.
Shortly after dinner today Chief Of
Police Bowers received a telegram
from the chief Of police Of st. Paul
to the effect that the machine had
been stolen from St Paul. II belongs
to a Mr.. Fowler OF Minneapolis.
The telegram asked the local police
to hold the young men until further
word came from the st. Paul police
department regarding the AFFAIR.
The two vandals were yet in the
city and had not proceeded on to Bis
marck, as had been their intention.
One Of them was located and he was
asked to come to the police station to
straighten out little matter regarding
the check. He gladly went with the
officers
The other youth was then located
and the two young men held a con-
versation over the telephone and the
one at the station asked his comrade
to come to headquarters The other
fellow soon showed up and the two
were placed under arrest.
Their Stories.
The two boys told numerous stories
regarding their proposed trip. They
told Ed Manning that they had been
out on the road for twelve days and
started from Chicago with the inten-
ton Of going to the coast. They stated
that they had been turned over in the
machine twice and had broken certain
parts Of the machine.
To certain members Of the police
department they said that they had
started from Minneapolis and that
they were going to the coast The car,
according to their statement, belonged
to travelling man and they were taxi
ing 1t to the coast for him, being en-
ployed for this purposes
TO almost everyone who talked to
them they told some other story and
gave a different name to each person
they met and held conversation with.
They are now locked in cell at
the police station and will await the
arrival OF the St Paul officers. They
spent part Of the day In the Dull
PEN. but as this is being repaired and
opportunity to escape is thus afforded.
