This Is A SHREWD CRIMINAL SCENE
Women Spill Soup on Cheap Dresses
and Demand Big Damages.

Women Spill Soup on Cneap DRESSES
and Demand Big Damages.
Accident insurance companies long
ago found out they we're being fleece
ed by persons who made business
of getting hurt" in fake accidents.
And now New York hotel men have
discovered that they are being robbed
by a system as clever as that which
cost the insurance men heavily.
Several hotel men compared notes
the other day and found that in one
evening a woman had visited five diff
ferent hotels and in each of them had
caused bowl of soup to be upset on
her dress. In each case she demand
ed goodly damages, which were paid,
the hotels preferring to pay more
than the dress was worth to fighting
her claim in the courts. 1t is sug-
gested that the woman bought the
dress second hand at very low price
and then had it ruined" five times
in the course of two or three hours,
getting more each time than the
dress cost when it was new. Here
after the soup trick" will not be
easy graft"

STARTLING CREATIONS"
SOME WEIRD COSTUMES SEEN IN
THE STREETS OF LONDON.
Such Fantastic Conceptions in Wo-
mems Dress Was Never Before
Seen in Public Places.

Such Fantastic Conceptions In Wo-
mems Dress Was Never Before
Seen in Public Places.
Never before have such fantastlc
conceptions in women's dress oeen
seen in public as in the streets Oh
London at the present time.
The influence of the Russian bal
let and the futurist Imagination mas
nroduced a frenzy of color and de-
sign. Spring will reveal the true ex-
tent of the new art fever that be-
gan as a mild disease a, Covent Gar
den. crossed the footlights before the
danger was fully realized and is now
epidemic in what some people call
the world of fashion.
There was seen day or two ago
radiant creature in a three-decker
dress and a tall velvet hat like
bishops mitre. Her triple TERED
skirt of purple silk was draped and
festooned in an intricate way. Her
shoes had purple heels.
A young woman tripped down PIC
cadilIy wearing what can only be oe-
scribed as a mans top hat upside
down, built in dark blue velvet, with
q band of red, white and blue SILK
twisted round the lower half of the
structure. Save for a taxicab chauf-
feur, who looked at her mourntully,
then ostentatiously covered his eyes,
she went her way unnoticed.
A 15-minute stroll through Bond
street yielded the following list or
wierd costumes:
A middle-aged woman wearing a
brown tailor made costume in three
sections, the two upper ones exactly
like two morning coats for men, the
shortest reaching hardly to her waist.
A tall young woman with a cone
shaped hat of black velvet at least
a foot high tilted rakishly on the
back of her head.
A woman who wore purple velvet
dress embroidered in silver, carrying
a Pekinese dog that suffered from an
enormous tartan brow.
A woman with fur anklets, who
did not mind showing them.
There are pagoda dresses IN so
many layers that the wearers look
like so many jigsaw puzzles that have
been solved successfully.
Outside the futurist radius there
might have been seen a happy, some
what moldy person whose frayed tat
tiers and tapping fragments of boots
we're tied with string. He wore
couple of waistcoats and the remains
of a lounge coat under a frock coat
of mature age; his battered billy
cock hat was damned over one ear
He, too, was in the fashion.

Motion Pictures Are
Educational feature
(From The Chautauquan)

The splendid motion pictures which
are shown at each evening program
are an appreciated feature. Robinson
and Burch, who are the proprietors Of
the Rex Theatre of Valley City, have
this portion of the program in charge
and have secured some fine reels OF
movies" for Chautauqua patrons.
The pictures Sunday evening were
taken in and about Jerusalem and
showed the scenes where Christ walk
ed and taught as they appear in mod
ern times. It is an exhibition of this
kind which brings home with full for
ce the great educational value OF
moving pictures for to see these places
through the lens of the motion pic
ture camera is only a little short OF
seeing the places through your own
eyes directly.

DEATH; HOME DESTROYED

Ryder, N. D., June 29.-The only
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Charley Ander-
son, three and one half miles east Of
town was burned to death when their
home was destroyed by fire, the caild
being the only occupant at the time.
The parents were in the barn doing
the morning chores and hal left a
fire burning in the kerosene stove,
which must have blazed up and ignit-
ed the walls. They knew nothing of
the calamity Detailing them until they
stepped from the barn, to see the
building in flames. Nuthing could be
done then to save the infant, which
had been left sleeping in bed. Neigh
bors hurried over but were powerless
to help. When the flames subsidized.
the bed spring was pulled from the
ruins. bringing With it the charred re-
maihs Of the child.
This - the thi:,. tine Mr.. And .rsor
has lost his home by fre-oncc in

FORMER WARDEN
AGAIN HEADS HIS
PARTY IN STATE
REPORTS UP TO MIDNIGHT SHOW
INsURGENT DEMOCRATS WITH I,
OF LEAD.

That Knuuson. the Democratic nom
inee for governor under the Macarthur
faction was beaten, Chairman D. H.
Macarthur refused last night to con-
cede. until all the counties were heard
from and verified. When the Courier
News requested a statement from him
at a late hour last evening, after %
out of the 54 counties had been
heard from and which showed He'll
strom in the lead by 2 to 1, the figures
refused to convince Macarthur.
In the Democratic gubernatorial
race Hellstrom stands we'll in front
with a lead of 1926, more than 100
per cent over Knudson. representa-
tive of the Macarthur faction. Returns
are, however, very incomplete and
Knudson may have chance to get on
top, although there is small possibility
that he will, 1t Is stated.
According to returns from 10 coun-
ties, some of them incomplete, Jones
of Rock for senator lags behind Pur-
cell some 1923 votes. There appears
little likelihood of Jones winning out.

Every section of North Dakota was
visited yesterday and last night by
unprecedented rains, which in many
cases, did great damage to crops and
property.
Floods and washouts in various
sections Of the state are reported to-
day. Telephone and telegraph COM
munication has been disrupted in sew
eral places, and train service is slight
ly crippled. ...
Grand Forks and vicinity did not
suffer greatly, although one of the
heaviest rains in years fell all night
long. A total of PAL inches of rain
fell here, according to the figures Civ
en- out at the university weather
bureau at Z O'Clock.
Outside of two or three trains be-
ing late. the Dakota division of the
Great Northern did not suffer as q
result Of the downpour. As far as
can be learned, there have been no
difficulties on the Minot division.
There Is a washout on the Willmar
division, but no details Of it could be
secured this afternoon. The local
Great Northern Office had not been
advised as to where the washout &C.
Cured.
The Northern Pacific reported the
Mandan washout, but from that city
east to St. Paul they have been hav-
ing no trouble.
Every section of the state reports
unusually heavy downpours, The
Williston district, which has been
greatly in need of drenching rains,
was visited by heavy downpour and
every section from the Minnesota Dor
der to that city had rain.
Mandan and Bismarck report the
greatest damage. A cloudburst in the
hills ten miles northwest of Mandan
has made Heart river, which runs
through the city, a veritable raging
torrent and Easements and lowlands
are flooded. ... $685..
The rains of the last thirty-six hours
have broken all records for rainfall
in the state, exceeding by at least half
an inch the previous record.
A report from Fargo Is to the effect
that that city did not suffer greatly.
A heavy rain is reported, but 1t did no
damage in the city. 1t is believed
however, that the country district suf
fered some damage.
On the Minnesota side conditions
appear much better. Western Polk
county districts report heavy rainfalls
but no damage. In the vicinity of
East Grand Forks the crops have not
suffered at all, although the farmers
declare they have had enough rain.
The big bitches are carrying the water
off, and unless there are still heavier
rains. no damage will be done. A
heavy downpour of cloudburst pro-
portions would make the bitches YER
liable rivers, which would food the
lowlands.
