AFTER "JlM JAM EMS'
Federal Grand Jury Returned Indict.

and Business Manager.
EXPRESSED OBSCENE READING

Indictments were returned Satur-
day afternoon at Fargo against Sam
S. Clark and c. H. Crockard, publish
ers Of the Jim Jam Jems magazine,
by the fedral grand jury. Both the
editor of that periodical and his bust
ness partner were apprehended few
moments later at the Gardner hotel.
An arraignment was Immediately
given before U. S. Commissioner
and they we're released
under bonds of $4,000 each.
The indictments charge the pub
fishers of Jim Jam Jems with send
ing obscene and immoral reading
matter in interstate commerce. Meth
er of the two defendants were called
before the grand jury, it is under
stood most of the evidence being fur
nished that body by newsdealers
from Minneapolis and St. Paul who
were called as witnesses.
The publishers of the magazine
have taken the precaution not to
send copies of the periodical through
the mails but have sent consignments
by express. The interstate COM
merce regulations governing the
shipment of literature by express are
the same as the United States mails.
It is understood that Mr.. Clark and
Mr.. Crockard have retained counsel
and at the time of the trial, either
at Fargo in January or in Bismarck
in April, Dudley Nash of Minot will
represent them. Neither of the de-
PENDANTS has made any statement
concerning the action taken by the
grand jury.
It was understood. that when the
grand jury convened at Fargo again
Tuesday the Hatcher case would be
the next to be considered. M. N
Hatcher, formerly of the Fargo Cour-
Ter Publishing Co., and business head
of the Courier-News, is charged with
using the United States mail to de.
fraud in the carrying out of a news
| paper prize contest conducted by that
paper last spring.
The Hatcher case excited some at.
tention at the time. When warrants

conclusion of the preliminary ar.

WANT ARMISTICE

Constantinople, Nov. IS - The
porte has applied to the Bulgarians
seeking to arrange an armistice, &C
cording to reports current at the
capital. The open letter written by
Prince Seba Heddin and addressed to
the sultan, was published in the
form of pamphlet and sold in the
streets. The proceeds will go to ben
eft the Red Crescent society and the
pamphlet has been eagerly bought.
The prince says in substance, the
enemies of the country are not the
Balkan states, but we ourselves, who
have proved incapable of governing
the country. If we take lessons from
past errors we can hope for improve
ment
: The seventeen soldiers and officers,
who fed before the enemy at Kirk
Killisseh, were captured in the out
skirts of the city and the death SEN

PLEADS
GUILT ~

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 13-John
Schrank's pleading guilty to the at
tempted murder of Theodore Roose-
welt may not make as quick dispo-
sition of the case as looked for. In
stead, on motion of District Attorney
Seabel, Judge Backus appointed five
physicians, leading Milwaukee alien
lists, as a commission to act as part of
his court in determining the mental
condition of the would-be slayer. The
courts action is the first of such prac-
tice in Wisconsin criminal procedure
en- such power. In his charge to the
commissioners the court explained
to them why they were sworn as a
part of the court instead of receiving
the report under oath.
Under the former way the court
said, where prisoners were tried for
insanity, medical witnesses for the
prosecution are matched against
others for the defense in contradict
tory opinions that leaves the lay
minds in court and jury more con-
fused than before, and at large ex-
spense.
!. "The law gives me power to de-
.termine for myself, but I have sum-
moned you gentlemen to be physic-
iians of the court, to examine the de-
PENDANT, Schrank, and report his
mental condition, regardless of the
result
! James G.. Flanders, leading Mil
waukee attorney, appointed counsel
for Schrank, denied the prospect of
Roosevelt likely being called as
witness on the insanity charge. The
procedure will be: If Schrank is
found insane when he pleads guilty
he will be held as an insane criminal
until recovered. If hezdoes recover,
then the punishment based on the
plea will be named by court of con-
current jurisdiction, just as though
he had not passed the interim dur
ing which Schrank is held insane.

one or two ground floor flats. Should

Work of razing the standing walls
of the Rex was started this morning.

Italian Appreciated In Cas- Lake
and Is Now In the County
Jail ct Walker.
FIRED IN SELF DEFEND
Eye Witnesses Agree That Big Eel
low Chased the Smaller One
With Threats to Kill.

One man is dead and second lies
in the Cass county Jail at Walker Is
the result of a shooting ARRAY At
Bena Sunday. The. trouble occurred
in the Cochran logging camp. Samuel
Gustino, an Italian, shot L. G. Scott.
lumberjack in the abdomen and in
the lungs. Scott was rushed to Be-
midi and taken to the hospital but
died at $3.50 last evening. Gustino
was apprehended in Cass Lake by
Officers Dederick and Leary and was
taken to walker yesterday by Deputy
Sheriff Mack Kennedy.
Two eye witnesses to the shooting
tell practically the same story. It
appears that Scott was big man and
Gustino small one. They had form
ed one of those friendships which are
not uncommon between men of wide
Is different siSAs. On Sunday norm
ing the two went-hnntinG and one
shot rabbit. They returned to the
bunk house where Scott took his rife
apart to clean it.
During the operation. the two got
into a discussion as to how the rab-
dit should be cleaned. Scott became
angry and finally grew so enraged
that he grabbed his gunbarrel and
said that he would kill Gustino if he
caught him. The Italian ran out of
the bunk house with Scott in pur-
suit and gaining. When he saw that
he could not get away, Gustino stop
ped, pulled .38 revolver and fired
four shots. Scott sank to the ground
with a bullet through his abdomen
and one through the lungs, two hav-
ing gone wild. Doctors said that
either shot would have been fatal.
The two men had been at the
camp but three or four days and
were not well known by the others.
Gustino was allowed to leave but was
apprehended Monday at Cass Lake.
Scott was a lumberjack and it is
said came from Natchez, Mississippi.
An effort was made to find relatives
but at press time nothing definite

The main building is 80 100 feet
with the roof supported by steel
beams and the walls made of brick.
It is considered fire proof. Heat will
be supplied by air which will be
blown over coils fed from the boiler
room as soon as the room is finished.
The floor is of cement and light is
admitted during the day by roof
windows and at night by tungsten
lamps.
In the main building, the company
has a planer which dresses the .lum-
Der before it is made~up into the:
proper sized sticks. On the floor are
six cut off saws and one double cut
Off, five rip saws, one power rip saw,
a notcher, a squeezer, a horizontal
ripper, re-saw, a mailing machine
and the printer. The main building
at present uses about forty men. The
lumber is dressed. then sawed the
proper lengths, goes to the stamping
machine which prints the name of
the buyer is tied in bundles and then
loaded onto the waiting cars.
The machines are driven by indie
pendent motors with power furnished
outside the plant. At the present
time, twenty-four Nutting trucks
which are made in Faribault - are
used on the floor of this room and
the number will probably be increas-
ed to fifty when the plant is working
at capacity. Sewing machine COM
panies are one of the principal mar
kets for the cratings. The plant will
soon be able to ship a car day.
To the west of the factory and but
a few feet from the engine room,
dry kiln 20 x 100 is being construct
ed. This kiln will have a capacity
of $1,000 feet of lumber per day The
walls are double with air spaces be-
tween so that none of the heat is
wasted.
A saw mill is being built back of
and will contain the saw, horizon
tai band re-saw and an edger. This
mill will furnish a market for much
timber which has heretofore been a
waste as farmers can cut short
lengths and haul them to the mill.
Quincy Brooks, formerly of Chicago,
has charge of the saw mill and log
ging department.
In addition to the lumber which it
will saw in its own plant, the COM
pany has an arrangement with the
Crookston Lumber company whereby
it can have all of the trimmings from
the seasons cut. The company has
men in the mill on both day and
night shifts who select such mater
ials as are suitable and these are
then piled out in the yards. A mar
row guage railway connects the box
factory with the mill yards and as
are taken over to the box factory
storage grounds To do this work re-
quires three men each on the Crooks
ton day and night shifts and several
men with horses to move the cars OF
slabs. The box factory has some
1000 cords of slabs on hand for the
winter.
In addition to the factory, dry
kiln and saw mill, the company has
an Office building, blacksmith shop,
garage and sorting shed. A spur from
the Minnesota and International con-

The new building of the Apperson Buick agents which is now nearing completion on the east side of Central just north of the canal will, when finished be the biggest garage in the southwest by about twenty five front feet The actual time when the new place will be ready is not yet known for certain
 The company which has been as Ferguson and Raub was recently changed to Ferguson Mohn, when Mohn bought out the interest of Raub Later still the company was incorpo- rated under the name Ferguson. Mohn and company. It is the firm which will occupy the big garage.
 The building will be 75x1S1 feet. That gives it ample space for the ma cnlne shop, offices, demonstrating room and salesroom. besides leaving room for storage of cars. With the new Apperson and Bucks arriving in almost every train from the fac tory cities of the east. all the added space will be needed for the stock. Of course, the company does not ex- pect to have many ears on fits hands any great length of time, for sales are made rapidly as soon as the ma chimes that are brought in at night for temporary storage.
