Think DINNERS
SAOULD'BE USED
CITY COMMISSIONERS SAY DAZ-
ZLING BRILLIANCY OF THE
LIGHTS OF AUTOS PROVE TOO
MUCH FOR CITY FATHERS.

Ladies who desire to wear summer
dresses while walking along the streets
Of Minot after dark may do SO, if one
Of our city fathers has his way. He
comes gallantly to their rescue and
suggests that DINNERS be placed on
the lights Of the autos.
AS it is now, it is not possible for
the fair wearers Of diaphanous gowns
to appear as often as they wish in
the filmiest Of costumes without fear
Of having to run the gauntlet and ap-
pearing as fairies clad only in wind
ing gauze creations.
At first it was suggested to use
binders on the male population on
the streets after dark, but the DINNER
on the lights is considered more eco
rnomical, inasmuch as five pairs Of
binders would have to be purchased
by the commissioners themselves.

minor adjustments to the machinery,

was stricken.
He was a public-spirited man. He
was one Of the early presidents of the

Magpies Seen Near Minot.

w. H. Sibbald, while driving in the
vicinity Of Des Lacs one day last week,
saw flock of eight magpies. County
Surveyor Frahm reports seeing mag
pies in the vicinity of Minot. Minot's
avarians inform us that never before
have magpies been known in this local
ity. They usually are found in the
mountains and are known as warm
weather birds. It is possible that our
climate is changing and that North
Dakota is actually becoming warmer
state. At the time Of the California
earthquake, when the Japan current
was diverted, it was predicted that our
climate would change.

clever CHECK
ARTIST CAUGHT
CHAS. COX FORGED CHECK ON
H. ]. LEE IN FAVOR OF GEO.
WALKER - BOUGHT FLOWERS
AND WAS CAUGHT.

Chas. Cox, whose true name is Orr,
forged a $25 check on H. j. Lee, q
farmer living north of this city, made
payable to Geo. E. Walker, the Minot
florist, Tuesday. His arrest followed
and Orr decided to plead guilty as he
was caught with the goods.
He is undoubtedly a smooth check
artist who has confined his work to
the rural districts mainly.
Orr called at the greenhouse and said
that Mr.. Lee wanted five dollars worth
of flowers. He produced the $25
check and with it personal note from
Mr.. Lee to Mr.. Walker. The latter
said he did not have enough currency
so endorsed the check and while Walk
er was wrapping up the flowers, Orr
cashed it at the Temple pool hall.
When Orr said that if Walker did not
have enough currency, Lee might take
more flowers, the latter grew suspic-
ious and telephoned to the Lee farm.
Mr.. Lee, Of course, said he did not
know anything about the check.
Officers Reed and Bakeman found
Orr in front of the pool hall. He was
searched and a $25 check made in
favor of Axel Roise was found, but
this had not been cashed. Orr had a
grip worth $40. Although he was
dressed as a farm hand, to fool the
businessmen, the finest kind of clothes
were found in his grip, including silk
pajamas.

PLAZA FARMER IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
NAN NAMED AAs TRIES TO RUN
AUTO WITH ALCOHOL IN
STEAD OF GASOLINE AND
GOES INTO DITCH IN EAST
END OF MINOT.

A farmer named Aas, who accom-
panied two friends to this city in q
Ford auto, was seriously injured at
$50 o'clock this morning, just east Of
the city near the Biorn home, when the
machine was run over q ten-foot en-
bankment.
Aas and q companion had taken
their friends Ford out Of the garage
early this morning, starting out for q
joy ride. The driver had been drink
ing and while passing over the high
grade east Of the city, he lost control
Of the car, which went down the en-
bankment at q fearful rate. Had it
not struck q post ut the Biorn yard,
both men would have been dashed to
death. As it was, they were pinned
beneath the car. The steering wheel
lay across the drivers abdomen and
both men were crying with pain.
Mr.. Biorn and family rushed out in
thsir night clothing and Mr.. Biorn
injured his back trying to lift the car
o6 the men. Mrs. Biorn went back to
the house and telephoned for aid. A
large crowd soon gathered. It was an
hour before the men were extricated,
One was scarcely injured, but Aas sus-
tanned broken rib and his face was
fearfully cut. He was carried to the
hospital, where it is expected he will
recover.
Before the men could be extricated,
it was necessary to dig with spade
beneath the wreckage and lift the
machine up against bank.
The body Of the auto and the wind
shield were demolished. One Of the
rear wheels had every spoke knocked
out and the tire Of another wheel was
torn Of.
Mr.. Biorn says he was awakened by
the sound of the approaching car, the
noise reminding him Of cyclone. He
heard the men crying loudly and then
came the terrific crash. sAf'
