ORPHEUM ROBBER
HAS CONFESSED
A t9.YEAR.oLD YOUTH NAMED
JOHN MeMALFA HAS CONFESS.
ED THAT HE BROKE INTO OR.
PhEUM AND STOLE $2oo-WAs
ARRESTED AT GRAND FORKS.

John McMalfa, a youth of ~ years
and Grand Forks. mas made a COM
plete confession to the effect that he
robbed the Orpheum theatre last Sat
urday morning and succeeded in get
ting away with a sum not far from
5000.
McMalfa was arrested in Grand
Forks, NJ when he was taken into
custody at the suggestion of the Far
go police he had about $50 in his
pockets, in addition to clothing and
cigars which he had bought after
reaching the Forks, after having
brought TO this city by Sheriff Ross
and Officer Kramer of the police force
and when he made his appearance be-
fore Police Judge Miller he admitted
the robbery. He said he had loafed
about the city until ) o'clock Saturday
morning, then made the entrance to
the theatre and went to Grand Forks
on the first train.
He had a police record there and
was picked up shortly after landing,
but he had made away with over 800
of the stolen money. He was in the
act of getting a train for Winnipeg
when arrested.
He was making quite a splurge at
the Forks, had bought two suits of
clothes, new hat, shirts, socks and
other articles, including -four or five
boxes of cigars.
He told the court that he had been
in the Elmyra, n. Y, reform school,
but was paroled, broke his parole and
went to England, then came back to
America n went to Cando, n. D.,
with the Finch Bros, the horsemen.
He has spent the time since then in
lettering between Grand Forks and
this city. After he had reached Grand
Forks ne was arrested for some Of
Tense he had committed there. but
made matters good. At that time he
had about $3.50 in his pocket, but was
time of his second arrest he had made
away with about 800 for clothes, etc.
That he is a hardened young criminal
is apparent, for he told the officers
here he had stolen articles from the
Prescott hotel, and from other places
and had disposed of what he had TAX
en- at a pawn shop.
After he was arrested he cried and
remarked that he wished he hadn't
done it, and said he was sorry for
what he had done. He was turned
over to the district court, where he
will likely. plead guilty.
One of the attaches of the theatre
who had noticed the young fellow
hanging about Informed the officers,
and as McMalfa's reputation was bad
In the city the word was sent to Grand
Forks for the officers there to be on
the lookout for him. with the result
that he was easily captured.

STRONG BASEBALL TEAM.

The officers elected some time ago
by the Fargo council Of the Knights of
Columbus we're installed last evening

1t vas decided to have a team and
there will be a committee selected to
undertake the work. 1t is hoped to
have a strong aggregation. as there
are several good players on the roster
of the council.
During the evening it was decided
to donate to the Ohio sufferers the
sun of $50 and this amount will be
turned over to the secretary of the
Fargo Commercial club which will be
added to the amount that will be sent

n. D. Man MAKES
GOOD Use OF AUTO
OWNS A THIRTY HORSE POWER
CAR WITH WHICH HE DOES THE
WORK OF SEVERAL TEAMS
HAULED BIG. ROAD GRADER IN
RECORD BREAKING TIME.

Wonderful transitions have been wit
messed in all lines of business activity
during the past few years but no
where has greater progress taken place
on the farm. People have always en-
We'd the independence of the farmer
but usually stalled at the thought of
the hard work attached to such a life.
But times have changed and the pres
n day farmer earns his independence
and bank account with greater ease
than the average Office or factory en-
ploye. The tractor engine for blowing,
the many automatic appliances and the
automobile have reduced hard labor
almost to the minimum and made
wealth possible. .
An interesting example of the econ
omy and utility Of the automobile is
related of a prominent farmer living
near Crystal, N. d, who owns a. 80
horse power Abbot Detroit car. Farm
er Anderson recently wanted a large
road grader in a nadjoining township,
ten miles away. A supply of horses
not being available at the time, he
decided to press his Abbott-Detroit into
service. The . place was reached in
twenty minutes. whereas several hours
would have been required had horses
been used, Hitching the grader behind
the car MI. Anderson started to make a
record breaking trip homeward. Such
speed was attained that the axle bear
ings. of the. grader were soon sizzling
like a hot box of a railroad coach. This
required frequent stops and generous
supplies of a on the bearings, but
the. motor in the Abbott-Detroit was
no stopped once during the entire trip.
Mr.. Anderson used his auto for farm
work of all kinds and during the
threshing season pulls large wagons
loaded with .sixty-five bushels of grain
from the field field to the granary. This
car has been doing such service for two
years and has never been in a repair
shop. - s--

A Travellers Meeting
Were Three Candidates Initiated and
Senior Counselor Cole Mas Pre-
siding for First Time.

There were three candidates taken
into the Fargo council of the United
Commercial Travellers last Saturday
at the regular meeting which was
well attended, several of the older
members being present. This was the
first meeting that Senior Counselor
Cole presided over since his election
and he made a dignifed presiding Of
icer and handled the business exceed
ingly well. The work of the degree
team was well done and elected much
praise from the members.
There were several matters of in
terest to the members that were taken
up and discussed, and among them
was that of the organization Of a Ia
dies auxiliary, but as there is no ma
tional organization Of that kind there
is a question whether it is advisable
to organize such a society here. How
ever, a committee will go into the
matter thoroughly in the future.
All were enthusiastic over the trip
to Crookston via automobiles, and
there is every reason for thinking this
will be n of the biggest things the
organization has ever undertaken.

Samples of drug permit law viola

State Enforcement league in a state

there should be fewer permits and he
also points out that a number OF the

fair showing, but that they would not
keep within the law in making their
sales.
Nine druggists in one city applied
for new permits says MI. Watkins
in his statement. Il, with the help Of
several citizens, examined their books
and found all Of them ~f1agrantly ViO-

we proved sales to minors, over sixty
to one and thirty to another; that this
druggist had enough liquor for $500
sales ~unaccounted for, and he did not
try to account for it; he had changed
affidavits to cover up violations, per-
jured himself end in fact violated
nearly every feature of the law. The
nine druggists withdrew their appli-
cations and two others in the county
hurriedly handed in their permits.
