First Night Of Carnival
'1ook" Same as Measles

An enthusiastic crowd of 500 people
had 1.-The time of their lives" at the
first production of the Auxiliary Guild
Carnival at the Armory last night. The
doors opened at Z o'clock and from
then until 1920 the fun was fast and
furious.
A hint of what might be exepcted in
the evening was given by the street
parade in the afternoon. Several autos
with clowns, coons, wild and ferocious
beasts, cages with living animals, two
bands, and other features made up
the parade. Dainty Polly of the Cir
Gus was there, dressed in pink, and
riding beautiful pony. Also Tommy
Richie, as diminutive clown, with a
yellow and black suit and trained dog.
At the carnival proper there were
the free features, three big shows, q
moving picture show and dozen
minor attractions. No one can afford
to miss the Otto.Fridd- Wold-Hall COM
bination or refuse to buy pink lemo-
made of President Mcfarland or Mr..
Grady. AS in any we'll regulated car
nival you can get hot dogs, coffee
and buns. Order is splendidly pre-.
served by Policemen DuVall, Lee and
Moe, while justice is promptly pro-
nounced by Judge David Richie. Ask
Robert Anderson il this is not so.
The beautiful Japanese booth was
crowded all evening by people who
were glad to buy and by people who
were glad to see the most attractive
and largest showing of Japanese gifts
ever shown here. From the first
Whit of incense which greets you, past
all the enticing novelties which tempt
your purse, to the demure kimona-clad
Japanese maids who bid you farewell,
the whole exhibit is a success.

FAREWELL SURPRISE PARTY

Miss Myrtle Andreasen was the
pleased victim of a surprise in the ma
ture of farewell party given by some
of her high school girl friends at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John Busdicker,
Friday night. Various games were
played and refreshments served. The
guest of honor was presented with a
v. C. H. S. pennant and a friendship
ring by her friends and school mates,
and the affair was very enjoyable, al
though tinged with little sadness at
the though of parting with friends.
Miss Andreasen left Saturday morning
for her new home in Ashland, Wis.

Body Of Murdered
Man in Car Of Oats

Mott, N. D., Oct. 21.-Local author
tiles this afternoon received tele-
gram from the police of Minneapolis
stating that the dead body of a man,
identified as one Crofton, has been
found in a carload of oats.
There were four seals on the car
and Twin City officials are positive
that the man was murdered and
his body placed in the car, which
was shipped from this point by the
Occident Elevator on Oct. IL.
Papers found on his body were
responsible for Identification.
Local people know Of no person by
the name of Crofton. It is believ'
ed that he was here employed as q
harvest hand, and was presumably
murdered and robbed.
In the absence Of Sheriff and
coroner, Editor J. T. Charmley Of
the Mott Spotlight has taken charge
of the investigation. He is trying
to ascertain whether the seals on
the cars were changed after it lef'

shown in Valley City. Trained bears.
fancy dancers, races, a wonderful ball
game between clowns, trapeze work, a
startling menagerie, all under the
able direction of Mr.. McMullen as
ringmaster, deserve the unusual
praise they are receiving. "Just as
good as any dollar show ever saw"
one man put it.
Many of the people who saw the
carnival last night are going to see it
again, and all the rest Of Valley City
who will see it tonight for the first
time are going to regret that they
only have the chance to 90 once.

Strange Animals Of
the Ancient Times

North Platte river generally carries
a considerable volume of water,
while the South Platte is dry except
during times of floods, because its wa
ter is used for irrigation purposes
further upstream. The North Platte
is $50 miles long and drains about 49,
900 square miles. At the city of
North Platte the river has a maxi
mum discharge, according to the
United States Geological Survey, Of
about 10000 cubic feet a second and
maximum discharge Of only 70 cubic
feet a second. It's average volume OF
flow during the nine months from
March to November is about $500
cubic feet a second.
From Dexter to Ogalalla, Neb.,
South Platte river and the railroad
are close to the bluffs bordering a
Itable-land. Here and at other places
where the bluffs come close to the riv.
er many travellers in the day of the
Overland Trail suffered from attacks
| by Indians and white outlaws, who
were wont to swoop down unexpected
| ly from their hiding places in the hills
to murder and plumber. 1t is difficult
for the modern traveller surrounded by
the luxuries of the railway train to
realize the hardships and dangers en-
dured by the men and women OF IN
domnitable courage and energy who
under such conditions invaded and
finally conquered the west.
The fossils found in the Ogalalla
and Arikaree formations show that
western Nebraska was inhabited in
what the biologists terms late Miocene
time by animals of very different type
from those living there now, and also
THAT very different physical conditions
prevailed at that time. In place OF
the dry barren plains of today there
were numerous streams and swampy
llowlands.
The Arikaree formation contains
a great number of bones of a peculiar
Itype of animal called chalicotheres.
They were larger than a large horse
and had horse like head, long front
LEGS, and shorter hind legs, but every
foot had three toes, each OF which IN
place of a hoof bore an enormous
claw. An equally strange form OF
Moreno time is a deerlike animal call
ed Syndroceras. Its head somewhat
lresembled that of an antelope but was

pair. over the eyes, curving inward
and the smaller pair, nearer the muz

! common in North America during the

been found. One was about the size
of a sheep and is supposed to be the
ancestor of modern camels and liam

Gave Game Dinner
for Lady Friends

In olden times the men Of the fam
lily killed the game, while the good
housewife, after neatly dressing the
same, would bring the tender fowl
roasted to a beautiful brown and set
before her guests. But whoever
heard of the gentler sex going out
and even staying their own game and
preparing it for the table as we'll.
Yet that is just what Mesdames En-
gen and Hardwick did. After going
on q hunt to Pettibone they returned
having bagged the limit and then
they showed they were true sports,
for at once they set to work and pre-
pared a feast to which they invited IA
lady friends to dine upon, at the
home of Mrs. Ross Hardwick. The
whole affair was most delightful
one.
After a most delicious four course
dinner, at which the ducks figured
very prominently and which, by the
way, disappeared rapidly, like the
other dainty viands at the table, the
guests and hostesses returned to the
parlor to enjoy a delightful evening.
The guests, loathe to leave, de.
parted at a late hour pronouncing the
game dinner q decided success and
declaring Mesdames Engen and Hard
wick ideal hostesses, as we'll as ex-
cellent nimrods. @ a1 m
