LAW DON'T seem TO
COVER BACKING CARS

If you can prove that you were back
ing up when you happen with an au-
tomobile accident in Minnesota, it
seems that there will be no danger of
your having to answer to any law and
will consequently get your freedom
Without paying a fine or giving bond.
While the matter has never beer
brought up for court ruling or a test
case made, 1T seems that the Minnesota
law is rather deficient regarding auto
mobiles that are going backwards.
This matter came to the attention of
the Moorhead attorneys when a man
was arrested and brought before Judge
Wade for the backing into another and
DANA ing it. While the man acknowl-
edged that the accident happened while
he was driving there was nothing
found in the law whereby he could be
held and as a result he was turned
loose without any action being taken.
The city attorney and other legal
lights took the matter up before Judge
Wade and tried to FIND a way by which
fine or on failure to do thai serve a
sentence in Jail, but as far as anyone
could ascertain the man driving back
ward was violating no statute when he
ran into the other car.

CROOKSTON BOY IN
SERIOUS CONDITION

Crookston, Mimi, Aug. 24.-oscar
Hendrickson, aged IA, lies in a serious
condition at st. Vincent's hospital as
the result of a bullet wound he receiv-
ed about 4 o'clock Friday afternoon,
while he and another boy named Mel
vim Avelsgaard were engaged in pick
ing plums a short distance south of
the city.
Young Hendrickson was shot in the
abdomen. the bullet penetrating the
bowels and inf1icting a most danger
Gus wound. Unless blood poisoning
develops, however, the boy has a good
chance t recovery. His life is at stake
on that doubtful question at the
present time.
When young Hendrickson received
the bullet wound he was standing on
the ground underneath a tree. while
the other boy was UP the tree looking
for plums.
His companion has admitted that
the wound was inflicted from a % rife
which Melvin was holding and which
was accidentally discharged. He has
been placed under arrest, charged with
criminal negligence, pending the out
come Of the case.

NOT SO CRAZY AS
HE MIGHT HAVE been

Center Republican: Fred Fischer of
the Hanover neighborhood was adj
judged insane last Thursday afternoon
and that evening was started for the
wheel house" at jamestown, Sheriff
Herman and DR.. Rasmussen having
him in charge.
Mr.. Fischer vas arrested Thursday
on complaint Of his wife, who alleged
that he had driven her from home and
had otherwise mistreated her. During
the trial it became apparent that more
than q d~isagreeable temper was trou-
bling him, hence the action Of the i'm
sanity board.
For several years the unfortunate
man has become involved either with
his family or neighbors, just at the be-
ginning of harvest, and when his
symptoms became too strenuous this
year the wife found it necessary to
take defensive measures.
1t is intimated that a hot temper,
stimulated with too much alcohol, is
responsible for his condition.
About three months in the James
town institution will probably bring
him around all right
One feature in his favor, and which
made us doubt the existence Of bats
in his belfry'' was that when first
looming to town Thursday, he settled
lin full with the printer and then paid
his taxes. Some of u creditors would
like to have us inoculated with the
lsane kind of bug

white OF EGG IN
BAKING POWDER
EGG ALBUMEN Is USED SOLELY
TO "HoLD THE GAS" AND SHOW
THAT THE LEAvENING POWER
is STILL THERE - USED FOR
PURPOSE OF A TEST.

There has been much comment re-
Gently regarding the use of the white
of egg in baking powder. At one time
baking powders using this ingredien:
were practically barred from the state,
the pure food authorities maintaining
that the egg was used for the purpose
of deceiving the consumer. 1t was
claimed that there was sucn u small
quantity of egg albumen In the baking
powder that it did not ad tod the
value of the powder.
The companies using egg albumen,
principally the Calumet people, claim
ed that the egg in the powder thar
messed the gas" thereby providing a
test whereby the housewife could de-
termine whether or not the leavening
power was still in the baking powder.
The attorney general has ruled that
there il nothing wrong In using egg
albumen in baking powder and as a
result, the Calumet people, after with
drawing their goods from North Dako-
ia have returned to the state.
A recent decision in Oregon has a
bearing on the local case. 1t is as fol-
lows:

DOCTOR IS VICTIM
OF AN ASSAULT

C]rookston. Aug. 24.-With his skull
nearly fractured and other very un-
favorable symptoms, DR.. Kahala, a
prominent physician Of Erskine, and
we'll known in Crokston, where he Is
frequently called in a professional ca
pacity, may die from the effects of an
assault alleged to have been commit
ted by Hollace Balls, at Erskine,
Thursday evening. Balls was arrest
ed, as was his cousin, Anley Waugh, a

with whom he was visiting. Justice
Charles Hallos admitted Waugh to
bail in the sum of $4,000, while Balls
was comitted to Jail pending the out
come of the serious injuries to DR..
Kahala.
1t is claimed that early Thursday
the accused drove to Brooks with a
team of bronchos. returning intox1-
Gated and with the horses exhausted
from a trip made in record time and
Under the whip. Upon reaching the
depot they were forced to stop the
team for rest, as had been done sew
eral times before.
According to the story, they then
drove to the Erskine drugstore, meet
ing D. A. Kahala. He queried them
about the condition of the horses and
stated that he was going to make a
formal complaint with the marshal.
He went to the door of the drugstore,
where, it is claimed, Waugh intercept
ed him. The doctor turned. it is said,
and young Balls, who vas behind, hit
DR.. Kahala with all his strength over
the head with a large jug he was car
rying. The doctor fell in his tracks.
A Crookston physician, who was at
Lake Sarah, was called Immediately,
