FISTIC BOUT At
COUNTRY DANCE
FIGHT BETWEEN RURAL SWANS
AT COUNTRY DANCE ENDED IN.
ASSAULT AND BATTERY SUIT
IN COUNTY COURT AND JAIL
SENTENCE.

Because he stepped on his toes
while tripping the light fantastic at a
rural dance last Saturday night, Harry
Lutz backed Herman Renspe into the
wall with his crippled arm and beat
the offender so hard with his right
fist that it broke Renspe's jaw bone.
Lutz was arrested at once and his
case was brought to trial before Judge
Hanson from Casselton. Lutz is
minus a hand on the left arm but
that member was strong enough to
pin Renspe to the wall where he pro-
ceeded to give him facial walloping.
Renspe, it was discovered, came to
the dance in more than spritely con-
.dition and a bottle in his hip pocket
from which he refreshed himself ever
and anon as well as showing genero-
sity to several Of his friends, among
whom was Lutz s9
His stepping on Lutz's toes during
the dance was purely accidental, but
Lutz was not in condition to take
kindly to the faux pas, and at once
the fight was on.
Judge Hanson sentenced Lutz to
thirty days in the county jail with j
fine Of $50.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
OFFERS hint
SUGGESTION is MADE THAT BUS
INEss MEN MIGHT DECORATE
THEIR PLACES OF BUSINESS
WITH AMERICAN FLAGs-PEN-
NANTs FOR AUTO DRIVERS.

The following information has been
prepared by the commercial club for
publication:
1.-THE commercial club has on hand
a few automobile pennants, containing
the North Dakota Made label and the
words Fargo Commercial club, which
the club, would be very glad to give
to the driver of any automobile who is
in the habit of making lengthy trips,
these pennents having been designed
for advertising purposes.
The secretary is sending out let
ters to automobile owners, soliciting
their cooperation in helping to en-
tertain the Solorlaget which will be
here next Saturday and Sunday. 1t Is
proposed, If possible, to give the dele.
gates ride at 4 o'clock Saturday aft
ernoon, machines to be on hand on
Third avenue, north between Fifth
street and Broadway.
AS this laget came to Fargo at the
solicitation Of the club it is hoped
that as many as can make it convent
ent to do SO, will have their machines
on hand at that hour.
Next year, the auditorium having
been built, the prospect that Fargo will
entertain a great many conventions
and gatherings of all descriptions, the
need Of some permanent method of
decorating the city will be very OBJ
vious. 1t has been suggested that If
every owner Of a building in the busi-
ness district Of the city would have a
flag pole erected on his building and
purchase flag which could be put UP
any time that there is a convention
being held in the city, that the. ques-
ton of street decorations will be very
largely solved at a very minimum
cost to all concerned. There is no
handsomer or prettier decoration that
the United States flag and a sea of
flags covering the tops of the buildings
on suitable flag poles would, to say the
least, attract favorable attention at
the hands of our visitors, at mini
mum cost of money and efforts. Think
it over. e.r

BOTH HAVE THE SAME HuNcH
ABOUT CUCKOO cLocKs-HoW
Mr.. CARSON BECAME INTER
ESTED IN THE CUCKOO CON-
TRIvANcE AND LOST INTEREST.

Mark Twain in a. magazine article
once rendered his respects to the man
who invented the cuckoo clock. In
the fewest words possible Mr.. Twain
related that the perpetrator of this
diabolicaI nuisance was dead, and that
he was glad of it a
Pat Carson, one of the members of
the local Grand Stock Co, had an ex-
perience which causes him to coin
eide with Mark Twain's view on the
subject. One of Mr.. Carson's closest
friends owns a fine yacht, and one
summer took a party of friends from
New York to the Thousand Islands by
the way of the Hudson river and Erie
canal. Pat Carson was one of the
party. There was a cuckoo clock
aboard to which he took strong fan i.
cy. He asked SO many questions
about it and became SO interested that
at the conclusion of the voyage he was
begged to accept 1T as a gift, and this
he was finally prevailed upon to do.
The clock is small affair and can be
carried in a travelling case. While
the company with which Mr.. Carson
was playing before he came to Fargo,
was moving from Detroit to Toledo,
there was woman in the same car
with crying baby. which she was UNI
able to quiet. Several ladies of the
company endeavored to soothe it but
to no avail. Thinking the striking
clock might interest the youngster to
an extent that might cause him to
cease his horrible wailing, Pat
Carson removed the clock from
It's case and seated himself beside the
mother. He held the time piece up in
front of the baby, who admired it with
a wondering stare and then Mr.. Car
son touched a button and the clock
did the rest. The effect was magical.
The child not only stopped crying, but
at once became most tractable. and as
a result not only all the actors but the
mother was delighted. The latter ap-
peared to be fascinated BY the clock,
and just as the members were getting
ready to offer a vote Of thanks to Mr..
Carson, she turned .to the latter and
asked innocently: Be you the agent
of those clocks, and If so, how much
do they sell fur?s Mr. Carson was
SO disguised that he threw the clock
out of the window and the next day
sent a compli plinaentary letter to Mark
Twain.

Cut Seriously About Head.

With several serious gashes about
the forehead, John Johnson was
brought into the police station about
midnight last night and given a place
to stay until morning. A physician
was called and his wounds bandaged
so as to stop the great flow of blood.
In weakened condition the man
was brought before Chief Bingham
this morning and all he could tell OF
the manner in which he was cut was
that he was the victim of an assault
committed by a negro. The coloreq

OFFICIALS ATTEND
Big CONVENTION
CITY ENGINEER ANDERs AND
COMMISSIONER BLAkEMoRE
WILL ATTEND CONVENTION OF.
AMERICAN WATER WORKS AS.
ISOLATION.

City Engineer Anders and Commits
sioner Blakemore will attend the an
nual convention of the American Wat
er Works association at Minneapolis
next week. The city engineer will be
one of the chief speakers on the pro-
gramme at the big convention.
Leave of absence was granted Mr..
Anders this morning by the commits
stoners who were in regular session at
the city hail. Mr. Anders' paper be-
fore the convention of engineers and
water works men will be on The Far
go Filtration Plant, which has been
bullt, completed and operated under
his supervision since he became engi-
neer of the city of Fargo.
Fargo's water publication plant was
planned according to Mr.. Anders'
ideas and built according to his ideas
of construction, SO no5one is more con-
versant to speak about it with author
ity. Mr.. Blakemore will be- an attend
ant at the conventionin order to fam
1llar1ze himself with water works
problems which confront the larger
municipalities.
The commissioners this morning
heard T. IA. McEnroe, who represented
some of the local automobile men of
the city who use their machines for
livery vehicles during fair week each
year. These men feel the license is
too much and asked for uniform re-
duction. The request, however, was
made at too late a date to become ef-
fectiye this year.
City Engineer Anders called atten-
tton to a pocket in a sewer at the cor
ner Of Fourteenth street and Fifth
avenue south which was so deep that
there was not sufficient force to send
the water through the pipes The mat
ter was referred to commissioner
Ames with power to act.
