fBun' Harrison was arrested early
Thursday morning by Hubert Friesing'
er, railroad police, on a charge of
forging check in the name Of his
father, A. D. Harrison, of this city.
He was taken to the county jail but
was released later in the day, the

A warrant was sworn out for his
arrest on this charge Thursday after.

same name.
Harrison cashed the check at the
depot, saying that he was going to

he was to leave for St. Cloud. This
caused the clerk to become suspicious
and Friesinger was notified.

punishable with state prison sentence
Mr.. Harrison has been in the city but
short time, having just returned
from the northern part of the state,
where he has been employed. He will

RAILROAD FOR MOTLEY
PETITIONERS ASK THAT SPECIAL
ELECTION TO VOTE $4,000
>. BONDS BE CALLED

Motley, Minn., June 26.-It toek
35 signers just three minutes to affiz
their signatures to petition to the
town board, requesting them to call
special election for the purpose Of
voting $4,000 bends to be given as 2
bonus to proposed railroad running
north and south through Motley. Az
stipulated in the petition the bonds
are not to be turned over until the
road is in operation between Motley
and Hubbard not later than December
80, 1915. --
Just what interests are back of this
move is still problematical. The i'm
preston here is that the Canadian
Northern is directly interested, mas
much as Meadow Brook, a township in
Cass county, is voting on similar bonds
for the same road, their ballots callil 8
for payment Of the bonds to the Can
adian Northern railroad. t.
It is probable that no difficulty will
be experienced here in raising the re-
quired amount. Practically every busi.
ness man in town signed the petition,
and all seem to be heartily in accord
with the movement.
