Of fake information and requests that
she be arrested. One Of the letters
had been dropped In q local store by q
girl who he believed to be Miss
Erickson.
The sheriff. Mr.. Rees and Deputy
Sheriff Doty Immediately started for
the oft destroyed telephone pole in
the sheriff's automobile. Just before
reaching it they were. amazed to see
1t totter and fall to the ground.
At the same time a girl, wearing a
base of the pole into the adjacent field
Of corn. Efforts to follow her proved
futile.
The party then proceeded to the
Erickson residence Miss Erickson
was not there but returned an hour
later. Her costume coincided with
that of. the girl who had been seen
near the foot OF the telephone pole.
although she s~trenuously denied hav-
ing had anything to do with it's cutting
down.
While waiting at the Erickson farm
the officers we're Joined by John Ward,
one Of the company's linemen who
had been detailed to look after that
part of the line. He also had a wierd
story to tell.
He stated that he had noticed the
mystery pole swaying in the wind and
had fastened towards 1t. AS he ap-
preached, however. two men left the
foot OF the pole. and got into a Ford
machine standing in the road. They
drove towards him. and on reaching
him n of the men climbed out Of
the auto n covered him with a re-
volver.
The u mar ordered Ward to
make himself scarce. and the latter
proceeded to do so, taking refuge in
the adjacent corr field until the SIMS
ter pair had driven way in the auto
mobile.
Miss Erickson. was brought to this
city and given a searching examina-
ton before Judge r. j. Purcell. She
absolutely denied all knowledge of
either the letters or the destruction
of the telephone pole. Specimens of
her handwriting however. were found
to be very similar to that in the let
ters. .
She was finally allowed to go home.
Her father came to the city today for
a long conference with the authorities,
no conclusion was reached.
Assistant States Attorney T. B. Ell
ton Is inclined to believe that the.
writer of the anonymous letter Is af-
ficted with a dual personality.
This theory seems to be borne out

determination to make mischief If
h is allowed to remain at large.
The connection with the affair of
the two men who are said to have
held up Ward is also a mystery, as
no connection can be found between
them and the. suspected girl.
Children living in the vicinity say
that they have seen men working
around the pole on several occasions
recently.
Similar wire and pole cutting is
reported near Moorhead. Minn.,, and
Mr.. Rees is puzzled to know whether
or not there is any connection be-
tween the two occurrences
The authorities will make no ar
rests until the affair has been further
investigated,

Cause Two Cars to
Jump Track.

Two box cars on Great Northern
train No. 413, a through freight, were
thrown from the track at Arvilla. at
about 8 o'clock this morning, one off
the cars being smashed in bad shape.
The train was going through Arvilla

near the front end Of the train blew
out. The front car was broken in the
middle and thrown directly arcoss the
track, while the car behind it was
thrown from the track also.

learned. but who was travelling in the
caboose at the time, had his head
hurt and was slightly cut about the
face. He is said to b. a stockman and
was making the trip with a load of
cattle.
The accident happened on the main
line and traffic was held UP for a short
time, The local wrecking crew was
called out at once and by 1880 o'clock
this morning all the debris was cleared
away.
The car which was broken was filled
with merchandise for Montana points.
The goods were badly damaged.

prescribed 1t to convalescents and
other weak patients, hat the food is
a wonderful rebuilder and restorer of
nerve and brain tissue. as we'll as
muscle. 1t improves the digestion
and sick patients gain very rapidly,
just as 1 did in strength and weight.
Il was in such a low state that 1
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains of this state,
but two months there did not i'm
prove me; in fact. I was not quite as
we'll as when I left home.
my food did not sustain me and
it became plain that I must change.
Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks I could walk a mile
without fatigue. and in five weeks re-
turned to my home and practice, TAX
ing up hard work again. Since that
time I have felt as we'll and strong az
I ever did in my life.

meeting held at the city hall this
morning passed their budget for the

different pictures Of the water were
exceptionally fine. Other remarkable
views were shown in the mountains

SUPPOSED CHECK
RAISER IS HELD
P. Mcc ormick Makes Wild
Dash for Liberty When
Arrested this Afternoon

P. Mccormick is being held by the
local police suspected Of having raised
a check from $5sto $50 and attempt
ing to cash it at the Scandinavian
american bank and at the Dezotel
Clothing store.
The check was drawn on a North
wood bank. now said to be defunct.
1t was signed G. Sirviand, and had ap-
parently been drawn originally for SIS
later, however. a rather crude at
emp seems to have been made to
raise the amount to $50.
This was discovered at the bank.
The police were notified, and McCor-
mick was arrested. On the way to
the police station he. made a break
Tor liberty and. was r%ecaptured only
after a hot chase. At the same time
he made a desperate effort to get rid
Of the supposed fraudulent check.
This was also recovered however.
The police have gotten into COM
munication with the Northwood .au-
thorities in regard to the matter.
They are not certain whether the en-
tire check was forged. or merely an
attempt made to raise it.
In the meantime Mccormick is be-
Ing held at the police station.

writer of the letter had cut down the

She says that she is a girl residing
