IN Grand Forks

d "a Il d
Grand Forks, Nov. 22.-The Grand
Forks board of health, at special
meeting called by Mayor James A.
Dinnie, this morning decided that all

that steps would be taken to prevent
people congregating in public places
until they had been vacclnated or
could show a physicians certificate to
the effect that they were vaccinated.

Dr.. Zimmerman Did Not Steal
Foxes from City Park for Fur

+ The Sheyenne club held very I'm
teresting meeting at the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. J. Englert Monday night,
when they held a mock trial to prove
whether or not DR.. Zimmerman had
taken the foxes from the city park to
make set of furs for his wife. This
was done for the instruction the club
would get in legal matters, and was
therefore conducted as correctly In
every detail as though the case was
genuine, and much amusement was
created In the course Of the trial. Tho
room in which the trial WAS held was
a typical court room scene. Lawyer
Englert acted as Judge, while Rev.
Vermilya was prosecuting attorney for
the state, with Mrs. Thos. Benson as
his colleague, and Prof. Call acted az
attorney for the defense, with Mrs.
J. w. Rodewald as his colleague. Even
the poses Of the lawyers carried out
the true court spirit.
They had some difficulty in impanel-
ling jury, but finally secured one,
and the case proceeded with a great
deal Of excitment at times. Mr.. Rode
wald, as mayor, conducted himself in
a very wise manner. Editor Trub-
shaw, as city park commissioner, was
confident of the guilt of the prisoner.
Mrs. Frank White, in the role of
poor washerwoman. showed in a very
emotional way her love for the little
foxes, and her grief was sincere and
intense. She also told how she had
refused to work for the family of the
accused as she was convinced of his
guilt. DR.. Finney and Maj. White
showed by their testimony that DR..
Zimmerman could prove an alibi, as
he was out of the city at the time the
foxes disappeared. The jury dis
agreed as to the guilt of the accused
and the doctor was released on $10.-
900 bail, covered by personal check.
Policeman Chas. Otto, in full uni
form and star, was on the job with his
handouts, ready to perform the duties
of his Office. Mrs. Otto was cout stem
ographer and did her part we'll.
Aside from the enjoyment of the
case, the club feels that it was an OBJ
ject lesson of great value to them, as
the legal knowledge gained was from
good authority, in view of the fact that
the entire case was conducted as cor
rectly as though it had been genuine.
Dainty refreshments were served by
the hostess as pleasant finale to the
evenings entertainment.

PRAIRIE FIRE BURNS
MUCH HAY At WiLoRoSE

Wildrose, N. D., Nov. 22.-One Of
the worst prairie fires in years swept
the country West of Cottonwood Lake
burning a strip about six miles long
by about mile wide. It started near
Kittil lake, about seven miles west of
Cottonwood, and with strong west
wind rapidly spread out of control.
When it burned to within about a
mile from Cottonwood practically ev-
eryone in town turned out and assisted
the farmers'in fighting the flames. The
fire was checked at the section line
one mile west of town but farther
north it burned another mile east.

all Of his hay, and a good deal of val.
liable pasture land was swept clean
by the flames.

Neighborly Study Club "
Is Ready to Branch Out

A demonstration in cake-making, a
discussion of cakes and cake making
in general, general proportionate in
gradients, and specific recipes for a
variety of excellent cakes constituted
the lesson in domestic science Monday
afternoon in the Neighborly Study
club meeting at the home of Mrs.
Henry H. Nelson. Miss Tillson talked
and worked at the same time, and a
beautiful fruit cake resulted, while
much helpful and interesting informa-
tion was furnished.
The lesson in civil government
which followed was conducted by Mrs.
Tuttle, the discussion centering most
ly on the house of representatives and
the senate. Following the general les
son, brief and interesting review Of
the preceding lessons was conducted.
The work in civics is proving very in.
teresting and helpful and the men,
bers feel that the time occupied by
these meetings is doubly well spent
with interest equally divided between
home management and governmental
affairs.
T. A short business meeting followed.
Two new members were received,
which completed the maximum mem
bership. A committee is now at work
on plans whereby the first branch Of
the club may be arranged for at an
early date in order that others may
be accommodated as rapidly as they
desire to join the organization. The
present members are enthusiastic
about the work they are carrying on,
and as it was the original purpose to
have additional branches, it is hoped
that complete plans for the same may
be formulated at once in order that
the waiting list may be received very
soon and the new organization be all
ready for systematic work at the be-
ginning of the new year. 1t is the de-
sire of the members to extend the
privileges and benefits to as many as
possible.

of candy-making demonstration, at
the home Of Mrs. A. Z. Tenney, Dec.

May Prove Identity Of
Two Murdered Men

Rugby, Nov. PA letter was re
ceived this week by Chief of Police
Richardson from a man at Nymore
Mimi, which indicates that woman
who is presumed to be Mrs. David Nc
Murtrie is looking for her husband anC
son who disappeared at Rugby about
the first of October.
The letter states that the men had
been employed on threshing crew ir
this vicinity for some time. The name
of the missing man was given as David
McMurtrie, and also indicates that the
son was about Is years of age.
About Oct. l Mrs. McMurtrie re-
ceived $40 which had been forwarded
from the Rugby postoffice, but since
that time no word had been received
from the men, and the fact that mail
addressed to them and reaching here
about the time of their disappearance
has not been called for and still re.
mains at the local postoffice would in.
dicate that the men had disappeared
here, as no forwarding address was
given to indicate that they had intend
ed leaving this vicinity.
Such information as was available
was at once forwarded to the relatives
at Nymore and it is expected that
from this they will be able to tell
whether or not the men were the loved
ones for whom they anxiously await,
but who undoubtedly died from the
blows Of an assassin.
It will be recalled that there was a
similarity of appearance of the two
bodies and that they appeared to be
either father and son or brothers, and
also that they were s.ndy-haired and
fair-skinned, which if of Scotch de-
scent, as the name McMurtrie would
indicate, would not be unusual, to say
the least.
If the man was known and has dis
appeared it will point most conclusive
ly to the murder victims as being Dav.
i'd MeMurtrie and his 15-Year-old son.

Great Northern Plans
Great Improvements

Devils Lake, Nov. PA vast un'
dertaking by which the west end OF
Sweetwater lake will be dredged, Gre
ating a great reservoir, will be started
in few days by the Great Northern
railway, in order to protect, at least
temporarily, the water supply for their
engines in this city. A dragline will
be used in excavating ditch 1000 feet
in length, $50 feet wide and 2O feet
deep, from which water can be pumped
six miles into the treating plant main
tained by the Great Northern in Devils
Lake. .... .-..........
A sidetrack at the scene of opera
ton, branching from the Farmers line,
has been provided and laborers are
now occupying a string of cars provid-
ed there.
What effect the great reservoir will
have on the remainder of Sweetwater
lake, which receded several feet this
year, is question which is being ask
ed by farmers in the vicinity of the
lake, and hundreds of sportsmen who
have enjoyed shooting around this
duck and geese paradise. 1t is on this
lake that the L. w. Hill duck pass,
where millions of birds have been kill
ed, is located.
It is rumored that the Great North
ern may endeavor to tap new Wien
of water for use in this section, short
ly. Deep water wells have proven
very satisfactory in Devils Lake, fur
nishing the city's supply without trou-
BILE. 1t is possible that the company
will try this method. .S.'
