GIRLS Who SLEPT
IN PARK BUSHES
| LIVED ON PEANUTS
Penniless Sisters, Out Of Work,
Had Promised Mother to
Stay Together.

Dinah Meyers. eighteen years old.
and Pearl schwarts. twenty years
old. step sisters. are now being cared
for by the city after sleeping beneath
Central Park shrubbery for two
weeks while eating scanty food
begged for time from neiGhborins
bakeries. For the last three days.
they said. they had eaten nothing but
peanuts left on park benches.
The girls stopped Policeman John
Hasgerty at Lexington avenue and
Ono Hundred and Twenty-seventh
street sunday morning and told him
Of their plight. Their disheveied
clothes and haggard faces corrobo-
rated their words.
I'VE told our mother We would
always stay together" said Dinah
Meyers to-day. We have done It..
but we almost starved. My father
died soon after we came here from
Germany. three years ago. Last year
our mother died while we worked to-
gether In q factory. Then Pearl and
60: . furnished room.
II lost my place and Pearl quit too.
Then our iandlady put US out. No
body would give US work. Nowhere
could We find a home. so We went
out In the big green park. and when
no ono was looking at night we would
slip beneath the bushes and sleep.
by day we looked for work or
begged food. At last. on Thursday.
no one would give us anything to eat.
That day and the next we had moth
ing but peanuts left In bags In the
park, and some crumbs we found
where a picnic had been held.
when II rained we slept In Railways
or under steps on Fifth avenue. Nc
one would offer to help us except some
men, and we had to 20 In Railways tC
get away from them. Even the REQ
ple In the park laughed at US. W.
didn't know the city would help and
we were afraid OF policemen"
The girls were taken before Mag
| istrate Krotel. who remanded then
in care Of Mrs. Elizabeth Barnett Of
the Sheltering Arms. They will b'
cared for now until places are found

BOOZE IS CAUSE
Of NEAR TRAGEDY
USING RAZOR AS A WEAPON
FARM HAND BADLY SLASH
ES UP THREE MEN.

Starkweather, N. d., Sept. o.
Booze was the cause of near
tragedy at. the home of James
Griswold, eight miles north of here.
J. c. Stanchfield received injuries
which are painful and will lay him
up for some time when he was
attacked by an inturiated man with
razor, and the wonder is that he
is alive today. Stanchfield with
his brother. Pearl, his father-in-
law, Gus steenerson and Harry
Wickham, his hired man, went over
to the farm of Griswold and his
hired man, w. S. Addiar. Girls
void had a keg of beer and the
sexette had a friendly meeting un-
til near morning when Griswold
going out to get some beer return
ed and reported that some one
had taken it. Addiar, was outside
at the time and Stanchfield ven.
tured the remark that perhaps
the "Arkansawer' had taken it..
referring to Addiar This remark
was overheard by Addiar and com
ing in he drew a razor and show:
ed nent. AT THIS luncture WICK
ham tried to pacify the razor man,
saying that there should not> be
any trouble over the matter. when
Addiar struck at him with! the raz-
or. slashing an ugly cash in Wick
hams neck. This started a gener-
al fight and when the smoke clear
ed away Stanchfeld had three ug-
" cuts across the forehead one on.
the head and one across the side
OF the head which cut through the
ear, one on. the abdomen and one
on the leg and Pearl stanchfield
had q slash in the back, In the
meantime the razor man had been
laid low with a neckyoke lin the.
hands Of Steenerson.

SHOOTING AFfRkY
At CARRINGTON
MEXICAN is VERY BADLY BEAT
EN UP BY A SPANISH
SECTION LABORER.

Darlington, N. D., Sept. 3.-Lon
Alcon, a Mexican hobo, came limp
ing into a drug store here. He
had been shot several times, stab
bed with a dagger and his head
was bruised from being clubed
with revolver. A Spaniard wlo
has been working on the Northern
Pacific section here, had done the
assaulting. Alcon does not have
much to say about the fray.
The Spaniard missed his revol-
yer from the cook car standing
near the coal docks. He told Tom
O'Donnell, the section foreman,
that he would lay off that afternoon
to find it. He came to Ralph
Walker, deputy sheriff, and through
an interpreter, complained that his
revolver had been stolen and ac-
cused> Alcon OF being the thief.
Alcon had been fed at the cook car
for several days and had been Civ
en- the freedom of the car. Dep
uty Walker took the Spaniard to
the south railroad yards where AL
con was accused of the theft. He
stlN
that morning, saying that the re-
volver was on a shelf and that he
had put it under mattress that
no one would see and steal it. He
agreed to go to the car and pro-
duce the gun. The two foreigners
then left Mr.. Walker and proceed
ed up the track, evidently being on
good terms again.
What followed at the car is not
known. The first thing seen was
the small Spaniard dragging the
Mexican from the car ana beating
him over the head with revolver.
Outside the car, the Spaniard took
six shots at the victim, then drew
dagger. according to Alcon, and
gave him several knife thrusts be-
fore Alcon was able to wrest j. the
knife from his assailant
Several of the shots took effect
in Alcon's body, but only one
wound is serious. That one leads
toward the stomach and. keeps him
in considerable pain.

GIRL: KILLED IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
=
BEACH LADY MEETS DEATH
WHEN HEAVY AUTOMOBILE
TURNS TURTLE OVER HER.

Beach, N. D., Sept. 3.-Bessie
Nell Hart, 22-year-old daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John A.. Hart, OF
Sentinel Butte, met a tragic death
in an automobile accident near the
Kitchen farm a mile south of SEN
tirtel Butte, when the automobile
tipped over on the side of the road
and pinned her under it, the side
Of the car coming down on and
breaking her neck. -
William Burns had ordered a
Car at Sentinel Butte for the young
lady to take her to Beach that
morning, but, being unable to ac-
company her had asked for a driv-
er and the, regular driver not be-
ing around, Arthur Pelkey was
commissioned to drive the car.
Some question arose at this time
as to Mr.. Pelkey's ability to drive
a car, it finally being stated that
if he could not. Miss Hart could,
anyway, and with that the fatal
trip was started.
At a point between the Frank
Gilbert and Joseph Kitchen farms,
while going over a new road, Mr..
Pelke turned to the right of the
road at slight incline so as to
pass the w. c. Stuhr car of Sentin-
ell Butte. and was turning back into
the road. At this juncture the car
slid over to the left side of the
road and Miss Hart, becoming
nervous as to whether he would
control the car. grabbed hold of
the steering wheel to turn it back
TO the road. with the result that
the car turned turtle, throwing
Mr. Pelkey out and catching the
young lady beneath it's weight.
Having hold of the steering wheel,
Miss Hart's body swayed to the OPP
posite side Of the car and the door:
frame of the machine came down
on her neck, breaking it and caus-
ing her instant death, ssss-5,,

TO PUNISH USERS OF
FALSE ADDRESSES
STATE ENFORCEMENT LEAGUE
OBJECTS TO THE USE OF
FICTICIOUS NAMES.

Devils Lake, NJ d., Sept. 3.-Rev.
j.. l.. Watkins, superintendent of
the North Dakota Enforcement
league, proposes to adopt new
method Of fighting the importation
of liquor into the state.
The prosecution of shippers Of
liquor to fake addresses will be
the new step. ,-
It is claimed that some liquor
compares NV ship :ilucr to- fahe
names, and by doing so the ident-
ity of the person actually receiv-
ing the consignment is covered up.
Rev. Mr.. Watkins, it is under
stood, has evidence covering a
number of instances wherein fake
names have been employed, and he
will make a report Of such cases to
the United States district attorney,
maintaining that prosecutions come
under the provision of the federal
interstate statutes.
At the conclusion Of his work
in Devils Lake, where he has been
spending several days engaged in
a cleanup campaign, Rev. Mr.
Watkins Went to Minot, where it
is understood several actions may
be launched

DISCOVERY TO RID
! STATE OF G0PHERS
NEW DISCOVERY SAID TO RID
THE STATE OF NORTH DA-
l3s KOTA GOPHERS.

Minot, N. D., Sept. 3.-Prof. w.
3. Bell Of the geological depart
ment of the N. D. Agricultural col
lege, who stopped over in Minot on
his way to Fargo, stated that a
method of exterminating gophers
and ground squirrels that would
eventually wipe out these pests in
the northwest has been evolved.
This news is of more than ordin-
ary. interest to farmers of the
Flickertail state, as gophers and
ground squirrels have long been
one of the greatest pests to agri-
culturists and have caused enorm-
Gus damage in the destruction of
grain.
Professor Bell would not dis
close the new method, declaring 1t
would be later announced for the
sbe.lelit of the public after further
experiments have been made.
A Professor. Bell has long been
work ing. with the bureau Of the
Biological Survey on the best meth
Cd of ridding the country Of goph-
ers. DR.. A. X. Fisher. head of the
economic division Of the biological
sn.xey, S. E. Piper of the same
bureau and Professor Bell have
been making an inspection in var
ious parts of the state. The coun-
try in the neighborhood Of Bottin-
eau and Lansford was the latest
field for their investigations.

GERMAN RESERv|STS
GLAD TO GO TO WAR
ARE DROPPING EVERYTHING>ON ON
NOTICE AND LEAVING FOR
FATHERLAND.

Casselton, N. D., Sept 3.--Joe
Wilkin. six foot German, probab
ly % or 23 years Of age, left Cas-
selton on notice that he was want
ed in st. Paul, and from there,
would be sent east and transported
to the other side OF the water at
some point whence he could fall
into the army of the kaiser. Will
kin has been at work on the Fowl
er farm for three or four months.
He has, we understand, served two
years in the German army, and be-
longed to the second reserve. He
has kept his record up to date at
the embassy, and when notified
that he was wanted, severed his
connection with the Fowler farm
imm mediately, brought his check of
over $3.50 to Casselton, and sue
ceeded in getting it cashed so as to
get away on the earliest possible
train. He was informed. he said,
that he would be put on the Steph-
ania, at New York, and taken to
Genoa, italy, but later dispatches
say that this ship will not carry re-
servists, by order of the Italian
governm ept. Wilkin has been in
this country only year and
half.

SHERIFF LANDS man.
AFTER LONG CHASE:
rs CAPTURED AT WHITE EARTH
AFTER BEING HUNTED FOR
- A LONG TIME. .

New Rockford, N. D., Sept. a.
Sheriff Geo. +. Fahrer returned
Saturday from Wheelock, up in
the northwestern part of the state,
where he went to get Ray Harris,
who about year ago is alleged to
have embezzled a diamond ring
from Mrs. Margaret Mattson at
Sheyenne. The sheriff has been
on Mr.. Harris trail ever since, and
the chase has been through many
states, butN it was not until about
a week ago that he was able to
get the officials to act so as to get
him behind the bars. When Mr..
Fahrer gets on the trail of GRIM
inal there is no use of him trying
to get away-the sheriff gets him
in the course of time. Mr.. Harris
was bound over to the district
court by Justice Kinniard.
