Toby Hicks was lazy and careless, but
he was not naughty boy, and did not
do all of the bad things for which he
was spanked with any intention OF dis
obeying. He hitched up his trousers
and griuned and said "Nassam." Mrs.
Hicks called him back, say, Yes.

ert had his CAP over his ears and the
rattle of the bus wheels suffocated the
shouts of the men. The freight car
struck the bus in the center and carried
it for distance of about rs feet. to
the depot platform, where it was
completely demolished. The horses
were knocked down when the collision
came and were dragged along with the
bus. The driver was unable to extri-
cate himself from the seat, and he was
picked up among the debris. The
man inside escaped without scratch.
He was sitting opposite from whence
the freight came and saw the danger
in time.
Landlord Dushek was the owner
of the bus. AS the bus is practi-
cally beyond repair he is considering
the purchase of new one. In the
meantime he is using one of the old

Horse and Auto Collide
Court May Decide in Matter of
Accident near Morris

An accident which may find an
echo in the next term of the district
court in Stevens county occurred near
this city last Thursday afternoon. A
colt tied in the rear of farmers
wagon jumped in front of a passing
automobile and sustained a broken
leg. It was afterwards shot and now
srhe parties cannot agree about the
value of the animal.
1t appears that S. Boetner. a we'll
known farmer near this city, was
moving onto the old poor farm. He
was driving his wagon loaded with
house hold goods and other movables,
and had a colt tied behind the wagon.
Several other farmers with their
teams were driving along the road
with him. At point about mile
and a half north of the city they
were met by William Apland, a Her
man saloon keeper. who was driving
his car. ApIand says he gave half
the road and had passed couple of
the teams when the colt behind
Boetner's wagon threw itself ahead
of the car. In the collision its
leg was broken. The car was stopped
and soon Apland was surrounded by
the men. Boetner demanded imme-
diate settlement for the colt in the
sum of $135, which Apland refused.
Boetner drove away leaving the colt
on the scene, stating that it belonged
to Apland. Later in the day parties
in Morris who did not wish to see the
animal suffer, went out and shot it.
It was the only humane thing to do
under the circumstances.
Boetner came to Morris and placed
the case in the hands of an attorney.
He stated the colt was two and half
years old, and that it was worth
$135. Apland denies the value of the
colt in this amount. and says that as
ne gave half. or more, of the road
according to state law he feels he is
not responsible. and should not be re-
CURED to pay damages. However.
he does not wish Mr.. Boetner to stand
the loss alone and so he has advanced
500 is settlement. At the last ac-
count Mr.. Boetner had not accepted
but threatened to take the case into
court.

BARNUM MAY HAVE
HAD RIGHT IDEAS
SEVERAL MORRIS FARMERS
VICTIMS OF CRAFT
Recent Operations of Farmers
GeneralServiceC Company Bring
Woe to Note Singers After Ex-
posure of Fraudulent Concern

Developments within the past sew
eral days bring to light recent sue
cessful operations of smooth bunch
of grafters who have secured notes in
various amounts from farmers in
Stevens county. These notes have
passed into the hands of alleged in-
nocent parties and in all probability
will have to be paid. The parties
to whom the notes were issued is
known as The Farmers General Ser
vice Company, of Minneapolis, a con-
cern branded as fraudulent by the
United States government, and ex-
posed by The Tribune and uther news
papers in this state. all of which bears
testimony that Barnum may have been
right.
Only a few weeks ago slick re-
preventative of the company appeared
in this county and sold what purports
to be a membership in the concern.
This membership entitled the pur-
chaser to the services of the company
in the purchase at very low price OF
all the desired commodities, and to
sell the farmers produce at a high
price. 1t also purported to deliver to
the purchaser free veterinary advice
and such other service as required in
operating a successful farm. The
membership was good for five Years,
and the cost was $135 for which notes
were accepted. In reality the pur.
chaser bought what appears to be q
worthless medicine cabinet holding 9
few bottles containing more or less
) .as..l3ssz 3sags. So FIR as can be
learned today at least SIX we'll known
farmers near Morris were taken ir
on the game. $135 for a few bottle:
of dope looks like pretty high price
and shows that the General Service
Company serves good and plenty wher
it serves at all.
That the old swindle is being work
ed overtime in Stevens county wa:
brought to the attention of the Morris
National bank in this city the first
of this week. One of the parties who
now owns a membership and medi
cine cabinet for which he gave his
note, called at the bank to have re-
mittances and correspondence addressed
to the service company's Office al
334 North 1st street, Minneapolis.
The letter was returned to the bank
marked fraudulent" and could not
be delivered. Information was alsC
received indicating that the concern il
one of the smoothest bunch of crooks
with which the postal department has
had to deal for some time. The Nor
ris bank does not know TO what extent
the company has thrown the hooks in
to the farmers of Stevens county but
it is to be hoped no more victims will
be found in the future.
