Ran NAKED THROUGH
STREETS OF NINOT

Minot, N. D., Dec. Running max
ed through the streets of Minot, and
screaming in such a horrible manner
that the district court in session at the
courthouse was called to a halt, a pa
tient of st. Joseph's hospital suffering
from ~catalepsy, caused a big sensation
in that part of the city Saturday.
The man had become violent while
confined to a bed in one of the hospi-
tai wards, had everpowered a fellow
patient who tried to stop him, and
dashed down the stairs through a
group of nurses and hospital attend
ants and out into the streets. He was
finally stopped by two passersby, who
were later assisted by Deputy Sheriff
Hans Hovind. The three men finally
o~verpowered him and nurses from the
hospital, coming up at last, threw a
= sheet over the mans nude body and
re was carried back to the hospital.

BLIND Pig DEN
FOUND AT NINOT

Minot, N. D.. Dec. 1.-Following the
arrest and confession of Jack Con-
nors. alleged b~ootlegger, the police of
Minot found a den under an abandon
ed blacksmith shop on Ramstad street
in this city, which was used by the

Transmission of whisky. 1t is evident
from what the police have learned,
that the den was a favorite spot for
conviVial spirits of the city and that
it was one Of the most popular dis
tributing points for illicit dealing in
liquors.
Connors has had a lawyer appoint
ed n will make his plea in district
court today. 1t is believed hat he will
plead guilty and be sentenced imme-
diately as he made a full confession
of his guilt to the police. When ar
rested, four full pints of whisky were
found on his person and thirteen more
pints in his room at the Chicago res
taurant.

elected governor. He was also judge
