COPPER COPS
BOOTLEGGER
DUSkY SON OF THE LAND OF
LOVE, SUNSHINE, FLOWERS AND
REVOLUTION TAKEN IN TOW

Last Thursday evening Patrolman
Lunceford ran across a rather talk
ative individual whose argumentive
propensities had reached the pugalis-
tic stage and which led to the undoing
of one J. A. Uliberey, Mexican chef
at Joe Stroud's "Let's Eat" hostelry
on West Broadway. A little gentle
persuasion elected the information
that gave Frank his bearings, and
armed with the necessary documents
he visited the Stroud residence and
finally convinced Joe that an imme-
diate inventory of his place of busi-
ness was necessary. Joe objected on
the unreasonableness Of the hour and
thought that matter Of so seeming
ly small importance-to him-could
just as we'll be deferred until he open
ed for business in the morning, but
finally acquiesced, and among sundry
other articles the search revealed
three 1O-gallon kegs, empty; three s.
gallon kegs. empty, and one 10-gallon
keg containing three or four gallons
of "pook-eye.'
Uliberey was taken before Judge
Field, placed under $500 bond, and
yesterday plead guilty before Judge
Fisk and drew ninety days, 5000 and
costs, and in default Of fine and costs
an additional three calendar months.

OF INTEREST
TO AUTO OWNERS
DECISION BY SUPREME COURT
OF IOWA-GARAGE MUST
STAND FOR DELAY

A decision of Importance and in
terest to all auto owners and Garage
owners has just been handed down by
the Supreme court of Iowa. 1t was
in the case of the Bertschy Motor Co.,
VS.. Brady and is given in the North
western Reported page AZ.
The case was the result of car
left with the company for repairs. The
garage company agreed to fix up the
car and have it ready as soon as pos
sible, probably two or three weeks.
The machine was left in their shop in
March and the owner never got it un-
til October. He claimed he was en-
titled to damages for being out the
use of the car all summer. The court
said in part: We come now to deter
mine whether or not the defendant is
entitled to anything on account of un-
reasonable delays, on the part of the
plaintiff, in performing the work. We
are satisfied, from the record, that the
plaintiff is chargable with unreason-
able delay and we have reached the
conclusion that he is entitled to at
least $125 on account of this delay
and that such sum shall be allowed
him.
The court also ordered that two
thirds of the, costs in both cases be
taxed to the plaintiff and one third to
the defendant.

TRAGIC DEATH
INCOAL NINE
WELL KNOWN COAL MINER
MEETS DEATH WHILE SHOOT.
ING COAL IN SNYDER NINE

c.. L. Smith, well known in mining
circles in North Dakota, and who has
been working the Snyder mine under
lease for the past three or four
months, was killed Tuesday, January
~26, it is presumed by delayed blast.
1t appears that he stated at the board
ing house in the morning that he in
tended to shoot about II o'clock. As
he was working alone and did not ap-
pear at the dinner hour his partner,
Mr.. Crosby, went into the mine to see
what the trouble was and found him
lying on the floor of the mine, badly
mutilated and unconscious. He was
unable to remove him and hastened
to the home of r. B. Heath, about
half mile to the north. Mr.. Heath
went over to the Cox mine and with
the aid of a couple of miners from
that camp removed him to the house,
where he died between three and four
o'clock.
DR.. Distad was called and decided
that an inquest was unnecessary, as
the circumstances plainly indicated
tnat ne mad llC TWO charges, one OF
which failed to explode until he had
gone back into the mine after the
was noted.
Mr.. Smith WAS an old and ex-
perienced miner, a man Of good habits,
well liked and at one time was district
president of the Iowa division of the
United Mine Workers of America. lie
was born at VintOn. Iowa. October y.
1868, and married to Ida Leslie
Brannon December "a, 1897, at Madrid
Iowa. The family moved to Kenmare
in 1908, at which place Mrs. Smith
died in 1905, leaving three small chill
dren, Ida Leora, Mildred Delorace and
Arid Horius, aged seven, three and
one respectively, who live to mourn
the sad death of their father. Mr..
Smith and the children have resided
in Williston since the spring of 1912.

usual five per cent charged on con-
struction work Of that nature.
Hellstrom maintained ut one point
in his argument to the committee
that the board of control had no
right, in view of the present finan-
cial condition of the state, to ask for
new buildings.
Insane Asylum
When Chairman Lewis of the board
of control asked him what should be
done with the inmates for the asylum
for insane, where there was absolute
need for additional room. Hellstrom
responded that they should be kept
in the same manner as they were
housed last summer, when crowded
conditions of the asylum made it
necessary to transfer some of the in
mates to chicken coops and various
small buildings around the institution
grounds.
Inmates Clothing
Hellstrom made the charge that the
present administration spent more
money for inmates clothing, and this
was met by the board and Warden
Talcott with the statement that the
grades of shoes purchased now are
better than those formerly used, being
fitted to the men as compared with
their occupation. Also, more men are
received and discharged annually, be-
cause of the six months bootlegger
conviction act, thus increasing the ex-
pense, as all new inmates must be
completely equipped, as must men
leaving the institution.
The states affairs committee, of
which Frank Ployhar is chairman, re-
sumes its session tomorrow, when fl
nal disposition of Representative
Rott's resolution asking the investiga-
tion probably will be made.

Over three hundred Elks were in the
city the first of the week to enjoy the
dedicating of the new home and the
initiating of the herd of fawns saved
up for the event. Visitors arrived on
every train beginning Friday evening
and they were met by a committee of
live Elks and city decked out in holi-
day attire. The streets had been wir-
ed and when the colored lights were
turned on in the evenings they pre-
sented beautiful sight. The new
home had also been decorated with
lights extending out on both sides to
the walk and when they were turned
on it looked like an electric palace.
Saturday evening the lodge initi-
ated class of fifteen and Monday
evening another large class was given
the work and were made full f1edged
Elks.
Monday evening, the Lady Elks and
visiting ladies assembled at the Odd
Fellows Hall for a social evening"
cards were played and a good time
in general prevailed-a program was
rendered as follows: Piano solo BY
Miss Void; Vocal solo by Mrs. Bar
rington of Ray; Reading by Mrs.
Rather; Vocal Solo by Mrs. Bergman;
Piano solo by Mrs. Cutting. Each
number on the program merrited ap-
plause and was responded to by an
encore. Dainty refreshments were
served then the ladies adjourned to the
Orpheum Theatre where special fea-
ture was given and much enjoyed by
all. The ladies afterwards serenaded
the Elks at the new home and gave
several classic selections to which the
Elks responded with the popular song,
"Good Night, Ladies"-the serenaders
left then for their homes feeling thor
oughly satisfied with the enjoyable
evening spent.
Owens who called Grand Exaulted
Ruler Doyon to the chair and he took
charge of the dedication exercises and
impressed upon everyone present the
fact that Charity, Justice, Brotherly-
love and Fidelity were the corner
stones, so to speak, upon which the
lodge was founded and lived.
The dedication address was deliver
ed by H. E. Wheeler of Minneapolis
as Tracy Bangs was unable to be pres
ent. Grand Exaulted Ruler Doyon
spoke on the growth of the lodge and
the beautiful home and we take pleas
ure in giving the address by himself
and Mr.. Wheeler in full.

ENGLISH WIN
VICTORY AT SEA
RATTLE IN NORTH SEA ENDS IN
VICTORY FOR BRITISH-LARGE
GERMAN SHIP SUNK

London, Jan. 25.-A second at
tempt, made yesterday by German
fleet to make a raid on British coast
towns, ended with disaster for the
Germans, after a naval battle in
which one of Germany's great armor-
ed cruisers was sent to the bottom
of the North sea.
Yesterdays naval engagement in
the North sea has aroused much more
enthusiasm among the British pub
lie than either the fight off Helgoland
or the Falkland islands, although both
these loomed larger in actual results.
To the English people the combat
Yesterday means the triumph of their
long confidence in their big gun fleet
and calms the fears of the east coast
of frequent repetitions of the Hartle-
pool raid. Sir David Beatty, the
Youngest admiral in the British navy,
has become the most popular hero of
the war. 49,.
The British announcement saws that
Beatty's fleet sighted German
squadron approaching the British
coast and engaged the enemy in the
North sea, sinking the German arnor-
ed cruiser Blucher and seriously dam
aging two German battle cruisers. 1t
added that so far as known only 1923
of the Bluecher's 885 men were saved.
The German official statement ad-
mits the Blucher is sunk, but offsets
this loss with the assertion, accord
ing to the information available, one
British battle cruiser was sunk
This statement is directly denied
bv the British admiralty, which says:
"No British ships have been lost"
No important developments in land
fighting on either front was reported
here today, but some improvement in
the weather in the west resulted in
considerable activity without notable
results. ..... u-. 49,.

Berlin, JAM 25., (via London) The
following official announcement on the
naval engagement in the North sea
yesterday was given out today:
"During the advance of our armored
cruisers Seydlitz, Derflinger, Moltke
and Blucher, which were accompanied
by four smaller cruisers and two
fotillas of torpedo boats, and which
were steaming in the North sea, these
