is still free from wrinkles. her cheeks full

Instances they quickly awarded her Gold

process. and patents are now pending before
the L. s. government at Washington.
London journals sent their Beauty Edit

TEACHER CAUGHT
Walter RockhoId, Believed to be the
Degenerate Who Committed Afro.
cious Crime, Arrested at Garrison
viii be Tried.

Walter Rockhold, alias Bert Wilson,
was arrested at Garrison about four
o'clock Thursday afternoon, by the
Marshall at that place. 1t is believed
that beyond doubt, this is the man
who criminally assaulted the young
Plaza school teacher two weeks ago.
Rockhold had walked into Garri-
son from the north and he visited
shoe store at once to buy a new pair
of shoes. Sheriff Kelley had sent
out postal cards all over the country
bearing description of the man and
Offering 500 reward for his capture,
and the shoe dealer happened to no.
tice that according to the description,
the fellow wore very old shoes When
Rockhold appeared the, dealer took
particular notice of him and conclud-
ed that he was dealing with a bad
man. Within few minutes the fel-
low was under arrest and Sheriff Kel-
ley was notified. Kelley made ar
rangements with the marshall to de-
iver the prisoner to him at Max, and
in just two hours and forty minutes
after he had received the news that
the fellow had been arrested, he was
safe behind the bars of Ward county
Max is 80 miles south of Minot and
Kelley made the trip in an auto
Rockhod talked little of the crime
which he is alleged to have commit
ed. Sheriff Kelley is confident that
he has landed the right man, and he
expected him to plead guilty before
Judge Legion. However, when
! RockhOld was taken before the Judge
Saturday. Rockhold waived examina-
ton and was held to District court
under $4,000. which of course he did
not furnish.
Rockhold, it is said is an old Of
fender. The Sheriff informs us that
he was in the Ward county Jail three
years ago, being held here for the
McHenry county authorities. He had
forged check on the First Bank Of
Granville for which he served time
in the penitentiary.
Rockhold says that if he COMMITTEE

he knew nothing of it.
1t is fortunate indeed for Rock.
hold that he was not caught near
Plaza, for the chances are that he
never would have been given trial
The man had walked across the
Berthold Indian Reservation, just as
Sheriff Kelley thought he would do
and he was getting out of the country
as fast as he could, when caught.
The fellow is a degenerate Of the

GET ACQUAINTED NOTES.

Did you get acquainted?
Mud baths were numerous Friday
and strange as it may be seen, the
Minot boosters pronounced them good.
They found the water fine also.
E. Ellison was the liveliest hoy"
of the bunch.
"Billie" McHugh's singing of Casey
JONES'" delighted everyone and he
was compelled to sing it at about
every town that was visited.
It wasn't what you really could
call dry trip. Fridays rain came
down in buckets full, but no one mind.
ed 1t at all.
Fields of grain everywhere stared
the boosters in the face. You can
count the value of the crop in the
Northwest this year by millions.
At Ryder, G. W. McManus referred
to McGahan as the ARTHUR LeSueur"
of Minot.
McGahan wanted to settle the mat.
ter of commissioners for Minot be-
fore the boosters returned to Minot
and he also said something about a
salary.
G. w. McManus, of the Interna-
tional Harvester company, demon
strated that he knew how to run a
car, and he broke several records for
fast driving. He also stripped the
gear of his machine.
Joe Rowan's car was put out of bust
ness in the hills between Ruso and
Benedict. A farmer secured a pay
ing job hauling the machine in.
AS an endurance test, this was not
too bad. The three veihle machines
came thru without mishap. OF course
there were others.
! Ryder had an advance Fourth of
July celebration Thursday night.
Douglas was the only town along
the line that met the boosters with
a band.
There were refreshments galore
and the Minot boys did full Justice
to them. One of the boys remarked
that he felt like the old lady who had
eaten herself full of clans and then
remarked: II feel like the rise and
fall of the tide
The Minot press was represented by
McGahan of the Democrat, Lowe OF
the Optic and Colcord of the Inde
pendent.
At Velva, the news that the normal
site had been settled, was received
and quite a number showed signs OF
great rejoicing.
The Minot band played at each
stop, and the excellent music was
fully appreciated by all. The band
consisted OF nineteen members be

But he carries II all off with truly in

There is movement in the book, there is
