FACED A GUN.
Sheriff Zahl Arrests an Armed
Crazy Man.

Sheriff Zahl had an exciting adven.
ture at Hancock last Thursday when
ne arrested Graham Macarthur, an
insane man who was armed with a
revolver, and had threatened to shoot
several of the citizens there. The
sheriff got this man however, and the
next day turned him over to on
officer from the Fergus Falls hos
pital.
Graham Macarthur who escaped
for the third time from the hospital
at Fergus Falls about May first was
seen at Hancock Thursday afternoon
acting strange, making attempts to
go into Judge Bahe's Office and also
looking through the window. Judge
Babe phOned to the sheriff here that
the wanted man was there and that
ne should be taken care of at once.
Sheriff Zahl called up the supperin.
tendent at Fergus Falls and was told
TO arrest Macarthur at once and was
also told that Macarthur would likely
carry a gun as he had often said that
he would make a killing if he ever
got back to Hancock The sheriff
started at once for Hancock taking
with him to assist him Chas. Ander-
son, and Duputy Sheriff L. T. Zahl.
On arriving in Hancock Sheriff Zahl
and Anderson got out of the auto at
the railroad crossing at the depot, and
walked up to the corner of Erickson's S
store. Macarthur was standing on the
corner and seemed to be watching for
the sheriff. AS soon as he saw the
sheriff looking at him he pulled a re-
vulver from under the bib of his over
alls. and started to raise it. Sheriff
Zahl had him covered with his gun,
and told him to drop his. Macarthur
backed sideways still holding the gun.
Sheriff Zahl then fired one shot in his
direction in the air. Macarthur then
dropped his gun and ran across the
street and against Deputy Sheriff Zahl
and Fenton and the sheriff had no
trouble to put the hand cuffs on him.
He was taken to Morris by the sheriffs
in their auto to await the arrival of
the officers from Fergus Falls on Fri
dav afternoon
Macarthur told Sheriff Zahl that they
could not keep him at Fergus Falls
and that he could get away whenever
he wanted to-and it seems that he
can as this is the third time that he
has escaped.

CITY ELECTION.
Nominations Must be Made by
Next Wednesday.

Nominations for city officers at the
coming city election must be made
by next Wednesday, 20 days before
the election. Nominations are made
by filing 25 separate petitions endors.
ing particular candidate with the
city clerk.
The city clerk has supply of these
blanks, but so far none of them have
been used. The new charter provides
that man must be nominated by
twenty. five voters who desire to have
him as a candidate rather than that
he should nominate himeslf.
Several prominent business men
have been mentioned by their friends
as desirable candidates for the COM
mission, and it is to be hoped that a
selection will be made which will be
so satisfactory that no contest will
be made. At present, E. ]. Jones
is being urged to accept the nomina-
tion for mayor and J. r. Krueger and
N. Vinje for members of the commits
sion.
If these men be nominated. they
will then have opportunity to accept
or decline the Office, and no doubt
they would be very much influenced
by the prospect of there being or not
being contest. Business men of the
standing of the gentlemen mentioned
do not care to engage in a contest for
local Offices if they know beforehand
that there is to be contest.
However, whoever be nominated,
it is to be hoped that they will be
men whose standing in the community
is such that there will be no DISPOSE
tion to make contest.
For municipal Judge, Geo, w.
Beise is being urged to accept, and
will probably be nominated and will
make an excellent official.

trip near Havre, Mont, on Oct. 1st.
She and her husband and her sister

guns placed there also resting against
the fender. The ladies were standing
on either side of the gun. when by a
slight movement, the gun was dis
turbed and fell over in the direction
of Mrs. Morris, discharging it's con-
tents into the top of her head and
killing her instantly. None of the
party had known that the gun was
loaded, as it had been left that way
thru an oversight.
The body was bought to this city,
and the funeral held from the AS
sumption church on Oct 9th.
Mrs. Morris was we'll known to
many friends here in Morris, where
she grew womanhood and lived until

What a Watt Is.

Technical terms are difficult to I'M
derstand by the layman, and, as a
rule, not at all necessary to his appre-
citation of his bill for electricity. Many
ask what is a watt. A watt is the
unit of electrical power, found by null
tiplying volts and amperes together.
An electrical horsepower equals 746
watts; it may be 746 volts and one am
pere, or one volt and TAG amperes, or
any other two factors Of TAG. A watt
hour is the unit of power consumed;
it equals one watt expended for one
hour, and is the usual basis of charge
on electric light and power bills.

REBUILDING A REFRIGERATOR
BY Making 1t into Vacuum Bottle Ice
VIII Be Saved.

During the winter when the refrig-
orator is not in use might be rebuilt
for the summer time in the following
manner. Hhieh Will result in q great
Improvement and will more than repay
the work done. The principle upon
which this change is made is that of
the vacuum bottle, two walls inclos-
ing a space exhausted Of air.
To apply this plan to the refrigera-
tor it is only necessary to remove the
inner wall filing, which usually con
sists Of sawdust or asbestos, and then
cover the box, both inside and outside,
with sheet metal, such as tin or zinc,
preferably the latter, soldering all
Joints so that an absolutely air tight
space is procured. The doors are re
built in the same manner. After this
is completed cut a hole leading into
the space between the walls and insert
a short tube with a valve or some 9th
er means to keep the air from entering
after it has been exhausted by means
of an air exhaust pump.
If the covering has been perfectly
made and the air thoroughly exhaust
ed the ice will melt very slowly unless
the doors are opened unnecessarily or
heated articles placed inside. The en-
tire refrigerator is now similar to a
large vacuum bottle.

When the Lamp BURNS Red.

When your electric lamp burns with
a red color and not white, as it did
when it was put in, it is played out.
A lamp burning thus should be re-
placed to save money. 1t is consum-
ing more current than it should for
the light it is giving, and so is costly.
Unless one of the latest tungsten or
tantalun types, no lamp is good for
more than about 900 hours on the av-
erage. The latest and best viii last
much longer.

Novel Corner Lighting Scheme.


One ingenious motorist with a pench-
ant for tinkering has evolved 4 novel
and simple apparatus for cas- ing the
light beams from his head lamps
around a corner. The apparatus con-
sists of nothing more comptcafed than
two strips of bright tin vertically sup
ported in front of the lamps in suitable
swiveling brackets. The front ends of
the strips are connected, and from the
connection wire leads to the steering
column. Hence it is simple matter
to turn the tin strips either one way or
the other, depending upon the direction
of the road, and as the strips normally
are in the same plane as the light
beams they do not reduce the efficiency
of the lamps appreciably.

Leakn Acetxlene Gas rubine.

Tt is very rarely that motorcar owners
take much trouble to ascertain whether

perienced at an awkward time. In
nearly every pipe line there are one or
more short lengths of rubber tubing
which perish and crack in the course

If metal tubing be used, this is liable
to chafe through atspoints where it
rubs; leak may also occur at the
point where the burner screws into it's
socket. To test for leakage, smear the
parts with soapy water and turn on
the gas; the formation of bubbles will
indicate weak points.

NAMING THE FARM.
Stevens County Farm Bureau
VIII Provide Signs.

A great many farmers are now In
terested in the naming of their farms !;
a great many more farmers should
have this same interest.
The farm name may be only con-
cession to the sentimental; neverthe-
less, it is becoming a custom that
characterizes the farm owner as
man of pride. There is the probable
ity that the farm name will stimulate
him to better farm management. No
doubt the farm name stands out in the
community and is looked upon as
trademark for the farm and the things
for which it is noted. 1t may stand
for the credible things or it may carry
discredit according to that which the
farmer makes it.
Advertising the products under
farm name is often practiced very
successfully. as that farm, if produc.
ing quality in its products, becomes
known far and wide, thus establishing
trade mark for the product which
stands for quality and creates an ever
increasing demand for the products of
that farm. Demand for any article
that has the quality brings the price
of that commodity up in value thus
giving premium for the products of
that farm. This is just as true on
the farm as in the large manufactur.
ing business.
What does the name Deere and
Weber stand for in the implement
business or the name Eastman stand
for in the camera business? Quality
is the only answer. There is no one
familiar with the name but that the
names stand for good prices in the
commodities they have to offer.
The name for the farm should not
be hastily chosen, and should mean
something. 1t may be named to suit
some fancy of the owner, but should
bear some distinct relation to the
farm in its location. surroundings. or
should be in relation to the kind of
farming pursued.
IN selecting the farm name the en-
tire family be should consulted and as
far as possible be made to conform
with the wishes of all. The reason
for this is that the farm name stands
! years after some members of the
family have passed away and those
remaining will want the name one
that is satisfactory to them and their
home life.
A well chosen farm name is worthy
of publication; and it is not only we'll
to use it on letter heads and on en-
volopes, but it should adorn the gate
way in order that all who chance to
pass may read. It will if better farm
ing methods be pursued, be a guide
post to better agriculture.
After the farm name has been de.
cided upon, it is necessary to have
the name put on record at the office of
the Register of Deeds. if the name is
to be retained. If not recorded any
farmer in the county may appropriate
the name for his farm and have it re-
corded thus barring you from the use
of the name you have selected.
The Stevens County Farm Bureau
have adopted sign for placement at
the gates of it's members providing
they name their farms.

NEGRO AND WHITE MAN
SCARE WOMEN AT NIGHT

Resident of the section of East Or
ange at Grove and Eighteenth streets,
near the Newark line, have been COM
planning of late about a negro and a
white man who have terrorized wom-
en- pedestrians at night. A number of
children also have been greatly
frightened by the pair, and the police
have been asked to apprehend the
culprits.
The screams of a woman awoke
the neighborhood last night. She was
found in a state of hysteria and on
the point of collapse. She declared
that she had accompanied her sister,
who had been visiting her, to Cen
trail avenue trolley car at 10 o'clock
She had been retracking her steps
for home when the man jumped from
behind a tree just in front of her.
She screamed and fled and he pur-
sued
At this portion of Grove street
there is not an electric light and the
gas lamps are far apart.
The negro is said to make his hiding
place in the vacant lots at Eighteenth
street. and sometimes at Central ave-
nue. and South Twelfth street. He
was seen at this latter point one
night last week. when he gave chase
to group of girls returning from
party.
