3. Chemical fire extinguishers, or

The LADIES Night
SATURDAY, JAN. 4
WITH THE RETURN HOME OF
THE SENIOR COUNSELLOR AR"
RANGEMENTs ARE BEING
MADE FOR GIVING THE WIVES
OF MEMBERS A BIG TIME.

While there has been no programme
as yet prepared for next Saturday

the ladies themselves for ladies
night" it is known that Senior Coun-
selor Bishop and Col. Tom Hughes,
and other satellites who will have
charge Of the events on hat evening

to be one of the finest entertainments
that has ever been given for the bene-
fit of the wives and members Of the
organization in this city and it is
earnestly hoped that each and every
one of them will be present on this
occasion, because there will be some
thing to see and hear, as we'll as
something to eat on this occasion.

wife have decided to again throw
themselves wide open in the culinary
department and there will be some
thing that all can enjoy. There will
be excellent music present on this oc-
casion, and if the weather will only

will be filled to Its utmost capacity.
AS it is the first of the year it is be-
lieved hat a very large number of

ence. 1t is hoped that every member

BAD Man WITH
Big REVOLVER

Beach, n. D. Dee. 2S.-Bill Nevells,
who has been around Beach for some
length of time got into an alteration
with O. j. Larson of the Beach Drug
Co, and in order to express his
opinions more impressively it is said
that he drew a revolver and threat
ened Mr.. Larson with bodily harm.
Policeman James w. Growers while
taking the man into custody also had
the tickling sensation of looking into
the gaping mouth of the same revolver,
but he forthwith relieved the gent of
the weapon and placed him in the
city Jail for safe keeping.
NeWells had been in prison but two
hours when he conceived the idea of
making his escape. Breaking a chair
that was in the cell he USED it for a
pry, and twisted off the bars from the
window and stepped out as a free man
for the time being. Just to show that
he was master of the occasion, after
he left the jail he walked up to the
house where he had been rooming and
packed his grip preparatory to leav-
ing IN a vacation.
He remained in town that night, and
the next morning decided to leave
town on . freight train, but Sheriff
John Madison and Policeman. James
Covers who. were looking for the
escaped prisoner appeared on the
scene, and the fugitive was i'm
mediately arrested.
The preliminary hearing was held
before Judge Salzman, and the prison
.er was held to await the action of the
district court. He was taken to Dick
inson by the sheriff where he entered
a plea Of guilty before Judge Craw-
ford.

WHOLE COUNTY
WITHOUT SNOW
HIGHLAND FARMERS ANXIOUS
LY LOOKING FORWARD TO
ARRIVAL OF THE
"BEAUTIFUL."

Wahpeton, N. D., Dec. 2S.-Rich-
land county farmers, and in fact
farmers throughout the southeastern
portion of the state are a%nxiously
looking forward to a fall of snow
similar to that which is in evidence
on all sides but the south.
The weather man las almost entire
ly overlooked that immediate section
in his distribution of the beautiful"
and it would be a T of salts
faction to the farmers and an as
vicinity were visited by a heavy fall
of snow.
Little Snow to South.
There Is no snow TO speak Of to the
south Of Wahpeton, and but little the
Their north and to the east and west
it has showed in a businesslike man
ner, affording both protection and
good ~sleighing.
While Christmas eve brought a
heavy snowfall to nan parts of the
state, especially to the north, the
storm was represented there only by
a heavy gale, accompanied by sleet,
and, it was thought, promising a bliz-
card, which never m~aterialized.
Fails to Arrive.
Christmas day dawned bright, and
it was discovered hat what little
snow had previously fallen, had been
swept off the pralries and piled into
drifts over night.
Again nov was anticipated Christ
mas evening, when the sky was over
cast with clouds, but within a few
hours this indication vanished also,
and that section is still without snow.

Deserts CHILDREN
CHRISTMAS EVE
FAMILY OF SIX FOUND IN M!NoT
YESTERDAY AFTER TERRIBLE
PRIVATIONS.

Minot, N. D.; Dec. 28.-One of the
most pathetic cases of desertion ever
brought to light in the magic city, was
revealed yesterday when Mrs. Mary H.
Johnson, residing on East Fourth
street called the attention of Humane
Officer Col. Alex Scarlet to the con
dition of six young children, who, it
is reported, have been left alone by
their father, J. E. Dickey, since last
week. DiCkey, it appears, is a laborer,
and is said to be a heavy drinker. AS
near as can be learned he went out
Of the city on Saturday or Sunday, tell
ing the children that he would return
on Tuesday. On Tuesday, however,
he failed to put in an appearance and
on Christmas eve the children's sup
ply Of food had been exhausted.
Mrs. Johnson, who owDs the house
occupied by the Dickey family, learn
ed the true condition Of affairs and
supplied the children with food yes
terday and then called Colonel Scar
let's attention to the case. 1t was re-
ported to the county commissioners
and an investigation was order at once.
The children range in age from 4 to
II years. Their mother is dead and they
have been trying to get along without
a mothers care. The fact that the
father drinks heavily has made con-
ditions worse, and the situation was
indeed pathetic. Colonel Scarlet, has
made arrangements to provide the
children with food and necessary
clothing until the county commission
erS can make an investigation and
make some disposition of the case.

COULDN'T WRITE
XMAS VERSES
THAT is WHY THIS DEPART
MENT is WITHOUT BEAUTIFUL
THOUGHTS OF THE SEASON,
BUT OTHER BRIGHT SENT.
MENTs APPEARED.

Joe Pony" Purcell, the diminutive
member Of 65, was asked to write
his sentiments of Christmas and he
said he would, but after he had strug-
gled for several hours he produced the
following:
The smallest man is made the goat
When Fortune does the ranking;
The smallest boy is always sure
To get the biggest spanking.
Senior Counselor Bishop was shown
the above and he was asked to con-
tribute some Christmas poetry, but
his mind ran along in the thought
that had been presented by Mr.. Pur-
cell and here is what the senior Coun-
seIor brought forth:
And thus it is from childhood on,
Until the close of life;
The. smallest man is always sure
To get the biggest wife.
Bill" Grasse said he couldn't write
a Christmas pone, that's what he
called it, to save. his life, but he
would contribute his mite along the
same lines as the above and he
scratched off the following philoso-
phical thought:
Or just to show how Fortune plans
Us many tricks n vile;
The smallest man in many ways,
Still has the biggest pile.
There isn't a man in Fargo who
has more beautiful thoughts than Ad-
olson Leech, and after he had thought
about holiday poetry he said Lets
see what the others have brought
out and after he had been shown he
penciled off the following:
The smallest auto makes more noise
Where others silent are;
The smallest auto makes more noise
Than the biggest touring car.

The ANNUAL ROUND UP
This Is the Season of the Year When
the Boys All Get in and As
...~ sjst in House.

This is. the season, of the year that
is sometimes known as the round up
period with all knights of the grip,
and already many Of the boys have
come in until after the holidays are
far from it-but are assisting their
houses in, the rush incident to Christ
mas buying.
The year just closing has been an
unusually good one from the Fargo
jobhers' standpoint, for there has been
a steady trade all the year round
with but few failures over the state.
The man who has not had at least
d fair business during the year that
is just closing had better begin maxi
ing a search of himself to find the
trouble. 1t certainly is not the con-
ditions, for taking the general aver
age, 1912 has been a most satisfae-
tory year to all engaged in CONNER
cial pursuits.
The travellers department of The
Forum wishes all of the boys the
very best kind of a time during the
holiday season and that during the
coming year each and every traveller
will find time to occasionally and
enthusiastically send in items to
this department.

child was severely scalded on the left
shoulder, arm and back by the over
turning from the kitchen stove of a
kettle of boiling water. No medical
or professional aid has been asked for
or given the child, which has been
kept sitting in a nude condition in a
basket back Of the stove. The scalded
flesh has been slowly sIoughing and
is a mass of sores. The little tot has
been kept nude for the reason that
wearing apparel would stick to the
sores.
When the doctor and Mr.. Holset
called at the O~berlander home the
parents at M informed them that
they did not want Il doctor, but af-
ter being made acquainted with the
penalty of the law they finally per-
mitted the doctor to dress the child's
injuries and give it some relief.
The Oberlanders are parents of
seventeen children and we under
stand that he gives as his reasCn for
not calling a doctor to attend his
chiId's injuries that he hadn't the
money to pay one. 1t is said to be
quite remarkable that the child has
survived it's injuries as well as it
has in its unsanitary surroundings
and Lack of OrOOpT care.
Later.
We learn today that Oberlander has
broken faith with the board of health.
He promised to bring the child here
Monday for further attention and pcs
sibly to have it sent to a hospital at
Bismarck, but he has failed to keep
his promise. The authorities are TO
DAY taking further hold Of the mat
ter and a prosecution of the parents
under the charge Of cruelty and
neglect may. follow:
