FORMER RESIDENT ARRESTED

The following from the Minneapolis
Journal will be of interest, as Mrs.
Moffatt, whose arrest Is mentioned,
formerly conducted a millinery store
here, and G.. H. Chase, was formerly
editor of the White Leader:
&c. H. Chase, p~ostofice inspector,
faced the unpleasant duty of arresting
a playmate of his boyhood when he
called last evening at the Office of the
Frances Merchandise Brokerage Com
pany with a warrant for Mrs. Frances
M. Moffatt, secretary of the company.
Much to Chase's surprise, Mrs. Moffatt
proved to be an old friend he had
known in their childhood at Raymond,
s. d.
Mrs. Moffatt and Harry e. Bergh,
president of the company, were to be
arraigned late today before Howard 8.
Abbott, United States commissioner.
on a charge of using the mails to de-
fraud. The complaint was Sent by
Edward Engerud, of Fargo. United
States district attorney for North Da-
kota, and is sworn to by John A. Loft
of Abercrombie, N. d. Loft accuses
the Minneapolis people of misrepre-
senting the value of a stock of mer-
chandise for which he gave $4,000 in
cash and a quarter section of land.
The stock, Loft alleges, is worth only
$4,000, and he claims that many items
were ~overvalued, as, for instance, cot
ton gloves worth 10 cents each are
alleged to be listed at Sc a dozen.
"The arrest was made late yesterday
by Chase and c. N. Smith, deputy
United States marshal, and the de-
PENDANTS were allowed to go on their
recognizances to attend the hearing
today. They deny the allegations of
the complaint"

effort.
Miss Moore, deaconess superintend.
ent, spoke to the Commercial CluD

shown by the club in the hospital is
most gratifying. There is no doubt
that these "city boosters" realize that
the hospital is no mean part Of the
city life and shall help to guard and
to guide it in it's service and future de.
velopment.

be a chance at this time to consider
the matter, and to form such an organ

NORTH LINE A GO

Word was received here this week
that the Luces had accepted all of the
paper on the north line toward Tor
onto and that road will be completed
to Bookings, as Brookings city raised
its share some time ago. The people
north of here are very enthusiastic
over the coming of the Short Line and
little trouble was experienced in rails
ing the required amount.
The people east of here, however,
have no done quite so well and there
is still some stock to sell. Col. Luce
sent word this week to Mr.. Ough, his
representative, that the east line must
be closed up by Saturday night. The
solicitors for the road have been work
ing in that direction during the past
week and it is probable that the mat.
ter will be all cleaned up by the end of
the week.
President Hyde of the Commercial
Club received the following letter from
Col. Luce this morning and it is of
interest to Brookings people:
las a result of a directors meeting
the Electric Short Line Railway Com.
pany decided to accept the subscrip-
tons from Brookings and the territory
north completing the contracts for the
extension of the Electric Short Line
from Minneapolis to Brookings by way
of Candy and Toronto. What the re-
suit of the work on the East Line will
be. will have no influence on the
above line and we will call another
meeting of the directors, If the balance
can be raised in the immediate future.
II want to take this opportunity, DR..
Hyde, to express to you my special ap-
probation for the very important part
you have taken in making it possible
for us to extend our line into Brook
ings. We were very anxious that
Bookings should view with favor our
proposition as we find from every
source of information that Brookings
is to be one of the best, If not the best,
of revenue-both passenger and
freight-that we shall have, and We
realize if it had not been for your
active personal solicitation, it would
have been well nigh impossible for
Brookings to have made the splendid
showing it did, even with the help and
the generous cooperation of the banks
and citizens in general.
I'VE are still doing a splendid bust
ness and are unloading 10000 ties and
sufficient rails to more than cover the
additional seventeen miles of grading
we have surfaced. You have not as
yet had an opportunity to see the work
which you have given such splendid
assistance and my father and l want
at this time to extend you an invitation
to visit Minneapolis, and see with
your own eyes what we have accom-
plished."

n. II. NATWICk DIES

H. H. Natwick, one Of the early
pioneers of Bookings, passed away at
Sioux Falls last Sunday, death being
due to cancer, from which he had been
a sufferer for some years. Mr.. Nat
wick came to Brookings in 1880 and in
1890 he left here to become register of
the land office at Chamberlain, going
from there to Sioux Falls. He owned
at the time Of his death the Smythe
corner and some other city property.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1914-02-19

which the purchase price of the build
ing vas secured.
The matter was disposed of for the
evening by the appointment Of a com
mittee, consisting of Prof. Harding,
w. A. Caldwell and Frank Sherwin,
who will at the next meeting recom.
mend some plan to the club.
M. G. Carlisle, chairman of the good
roads committee, appointed at the
last meeting, made his report. He
stated that he had met the enemy
single-handed and that they had sur
rendered after firing a few warm shots,
AS a result of this there is promsie of
considerable road work n Brookings
county this year, and the members
were so well pleased with the commit
tees work that some suggested
it be continued with instructions to
take up the campaign again at the
earliest opportunity.
President Hyde mentioned the coun-
try life conference that will be held
at the college at the close of school
in June and said hat President Brown
was anxious that the farmers excur-
sions, which were SO popular a few
years ago. be resumed to bring in the
crowds at hat time. 1t is expected
that the club will take the matter up
with the railroads and see if the ex-
cursions can be held this year.
G. r. Miner said that the business
men of the city were not very pa
~triotic, as there was no display of
flags on Lincoln's birthday, and he
said he hoped to see a better showing
on Washington's anniversary.
Prof. Kerr reminded the members
of the starting of a new series by the
Building and Loan Association, and
asked the cooperation of the members
in making it a success, as it e
much to the upbuilding of the city.
Next came the most interesting fea-
ture of the evening, the showing of
views of electric lines in general and
the Luce Line in particular. The ma
chine was in charge of Secretary Fow-
Ter of the Electric Short Line road,
and he gave an interesting description
of each picture. The first pictures
shown were those of electric lines in
the Middle West states, after which
actual work of construction on the
Luce Line was shown, together with
pictures of the engines, cars and other
equipment. 1t was certainly a convinc-
ing argument in favor of the road. as
it demonstrated beyond doubt that
tial road from Minneapolis toward
Brookings. The roughness of the
country through which the line is now
building was clearly shown, and after
this section is completed the work
will be much easier and more rapid.
At the close of the meeting Charles
E. Hall on behalf of the club presented
the retiring president with a beautiful
bouquet of flowers, ard Mr.. Hall ex.
pressed his sincere thanks.
There being no further business the
meeting was adjourned for lunch.
This was a Dutch lunch" minus the
piece de resistance.

A WORD OF WARNING.

We feel sure the general public
will agree with us in the statement
that automobiles and motorcycles
should be made to slow down within
the city limits. There is entirely two
much speeding. There is especial
need that corners be turned at a
slower gait than is now the common
practice. 1t is becoming especiall,
dangerous at several corners within
the incorporated limits, notably
Church and South street; Main and
Gadberry; South and Gadberry and
quite a number of other points. There
should also be rigidly enforced the
law to turn to the right. There are
many motorcycle and especially BIZ
cycle riders who seem to forget that
there is any such regulation. We
respectfully call the attention Of the
city authorities to these matters and
urge that prompt steps be taken to
enforce the laws in these particulars.
Some accident, a serious one, will
result if it goes on as at present.
