CASSELTON HAS
AN AUTO CLUB

Casselton, N. D., June S,--An auto
mobile club was started at a meeting
called at the city hall. There was an
attendance of some thirty interested
parties and thirty-five signatures to
membership has been secured. The
country districts adjacent responded
nobly, north, east, south and west hav-
ing good representations.
The officers chosen were:
Presidents e. F. Gilbert.
Vice President-H. r. Strehlow.
Secretary and treasurer Al. Tau
bert.
Road Committee-G. o. DalrympIe,
w. ]. Bell and A. d. South.
The annual dues were placed at So.
There was an interesting discussion
OF points Of interest. Com. John Mar
tin who was present said that the
county board would do what 1t could to
satisfy auto owners as to the use of
funds that came to the county from
the tax fund Of the state, probably
$3.50 to s1.75 out of each So license.
and evidently thought the club forma-
ton the way to present the matter to
the board and to secure the best action
in every way.
The road committee will strive to
pick out the best routes in every di-
rection and act in conjunction with
representatives from each section. The
membership fund will have only a
small portion Of club expense to pay,
and the balance can be used to attend
to road work after rains, ETC., so that
good going can be secured at the
quickest possible moment after storms.
Good clubs, good roads, effective
service is going TO come. The quicker
the work Is entered, the quicker the
auto users will reap the results.

SHOCKED BY lightning
Bolt That Set Fire to Farm Near
Wheatland Shocked People Pass
ing Along Roadway.

In connection with the IRE which
destroyed the barn on the FREQ Gill
farm near Wheatland, as recently re-
ported in The Forum, The casselton
Reporter has the following additional
details:
The circumstances attending the
fire were Of a peculiar nature. d Mr..
and Mrs. Gill had gone to wheatland
and the place was entirely alone. Just
at the moment the lightning struck
the barn d party OF five-four ladies'
and q young boy-in q one-horse rig,
we're going by the Gill place. The
lightning was SO sharp and the crash
SO quick that the horse turned sharp
w around overturning the vehicle
and the occupants already wet from
being caught in the rain, were spill
ed in the mud. One young lady, who
was driving, was rendered insensible
by the electric shock, and In the fall
received a cut on the head. she was
taken to the house. which luckily was
found unlocked, and cared for by the
balance Of the party. The phone was
used, but as the strangers didn't know
the place they were unable tn inform
the Wheatland central where they
we're. Considerable later neighbors
who saw the IRE. sent In word. The
ellis arrived home to find their prop
crty In ashes. We are Informed that
the party who had the exciting exper-
fence were Of the Farnham family,
residing 1T Chaffee, and that the
young lady who suffered most was not
seriously hurt. Members Of the party
saw the fire In the barn Immediately
after the stroke of lightning which
caused the catastrophe. but were, Of
course, powerless to do anything.

KINDNESS OBTAINS
THIEFrS CONFESSION
Admits Burglary Because He Wants
Marshal To Ger Credit


South Orange, n. J-After the
county detectives had failed in their
efforts to get a confession from bur-
glar locked up here for several days,
having been caught trying to escape
from house in the village. the man
confessed to Marshal Mcguire. saving
he did so because the marshal had
been kind to him and he wanted him
to get the credit" He was locked
up nder the name of Thomas Dorsey
but says he is Thomas Egan and that
he is a professional burglar.
Egan said that he has spent more
time behind the bars than in front
of them since he took up his profess
sion, having served twenty-one years
and two months in prison.
In the course of his story Egan said
he was arrested in 1883 in Brooklyn
for burglary and as Charles Stevens
spent seven years and a half in Sing
Sing In October, 1897, he went in
again for assault in the third degree
did year and was fined $500 He
had not been out four years before
he was caught in Yonkers at burglary
and got three years and six months.
Good behavior won h'm a year and
half of that sentence, but he was
captured again on a job in Jamaica,

He got out last April.
Egan says he is 62 years old and
printer by trade.

GIRLS HIRED TO PAW
THROUGH WASTE BASKET
United states Finds 1t Profitable to
Watch Carefully in Treasury De-
Dartment

ashington.-Unique among gov
ernment "jobs" is that of the two wo-
men who sit side by side down in the
basement of the treasury department
and spend the entire day going
through the contents of the depart
ment waste baskets. They are search
ing for stray bonds checks and bills
that may through some mishap have
fallen into the baskets.
The positions of the two women are
more important than their place on
the treasury rolls would indicate, for
some time back one of them fished up
$4,000 United States coupon bond.
The two women have been doing
this work for years and have saved
to the government the amount of
their annual salary hundred times
over.
Not scrap of paper is permitted
to he carried out of the Treasury de-
partment until it has passed the CEN
sorship of the official examiners of
the official examiners of the waste pa
per baskets There Is a rule in the
service also that no envelope, letter
or slip of paper shall be thrown into
a basket until it has been torn or
otherwise mutilated.
This disfigurement is a sign to the
examiners that the paper was inten-
tionally thrown into the basets. Con-
sequently a sharp lookout is main
tained by the two young women ex-
aminers for unmarked envelopes and
official looking papers.
1t sometimes happens that a gust
of wind will carry bond or a check
| from an officials desk and whisk ii
! into his scrap basket. 1t is almost
as safe there as if it were under lock
and key. for the chances are hun
dred to one in favor of the examiners
rescuing it.

lberately sneeZes in another's face,
regardless of whether it is cold
morning or not, and then repeats the
performance, he is guilty of disorder
ly conduct and a fine of $25 or term
of two months on the county farm just
fits the case. according to the ruling
OF Recorder Schwartz in the case of
NJ. Nixon, a West Broad street cloth
ier, who was arraigned in police court.
Upon the complaint of an old ne
gro woman Nixon was taken into
custody by Patrolman Pryor. When
Nixon was arraigned before Recorder
Schmartz, the old woman testified to
having gone in the store to purchase
a sweater. Nixon put a price of 9S
cents upon 1t. The woman thought
this was too high and started to leave
1t was then, she claims, Nixon sneez-
ed in her face.
Nixon told his honor that 1t was an
accident, but the court remembered a
similar occurrence several months
ago, in which Nixon had been dis
missed when he made the same ex-
cuse, SO there was nothing doing this
time.

JERSEY HENS LAY AT NIGHT.

Dover, n. flames Hagan, a JUS
tice of the peace of this place, has
two hens which he regards as the
most wonderful ever hatched, In
stead of laying their eggs in the day
time, these hens wait until about 2
o'clock in the morning and then they
awake the neighborhood with their
cackling.
Twice Hagan has been aroused in
the middle of the night by the rack
cts, and when he investigated he dis
covered the source of the trouble. He
visited the coops in the belief that
chicken thieves were about.
The hens are White Leghorns and
have been laying year. The judge
is so interested that he is going to set
some of the night-laid eggs to see
what manner of chicks they will bring
forth. 1t Is possible, he said. that a
breed of night-laying fowl might be
developed. although Squire Hagan is
forced to admit that there is nothing
practical about a hen that will lay
only at night.
