Forger Fails
In Attempt

We're it not fer due discretion
on the part of Ernie Hatch. the
night proprietor of Walls Eat
Shop on Wednesday evening his
emrloyer would have been the
loser by sew a. dollars. While
about his work at the popular up
town cafe, young man of sturdy
build, dark complexion and ap-
parently travel-weary, approach
ed Hatch and asked for a meal
ticket. The meal ticket was is
sued for which fifteen dollar
check was rendered. 1t was pay
able to A. E. Parker and signed
Homer B. Ross. The stranger
purported to be a laboring man
who had received the check in
lieu of services on the Ross farm.
To make sure that the check
would be accepted he also forged
the name of F. E. Near, local
real estate man, as endorser, for
purposes of identification. Though
the check looked perfectely gen
uine, as written, Hatch decided
that he would retain the meal
ticket and suggested that, mas
much as the hour was late. the
patron could secure the balance
of the check the next morning.
The young man, however, did not
show up next morning. He prob
ably suspected that he might, in
the mean time, be apprehended.
1t is probable he took an early
morning train west.

Reilly Dead in
Bismarck Pen
Milton Physician Sent There Two
Years Ago Succumbs Sunday
to Sudden Pneunaonia Attack :
Many Believe HIM Innocent.

Bismarck. N. D.. May IL.
DR.. J. ]. Reilly of Milton, Cava-
lier county, died at the North Da-
kota penitentiary Sunday morning
from pneumonia. following an at
tack of acute tonsilitis. DR.. Reil-
ly was dead within "a hours of
the first symptom of tonsilitis,
which rapidly developed into
pneumonia, which resulted in the
filling of the lungs and suffoca-
ton.
Sentenced Two Years AGO.
Deceased was sent to the peni-
tentiary two years ago to serve a
ten pear term following his con-
viction of having performed a
criminal operation which resulted
in the death of the patient. He
stoutly maintained his innocense
and many people in his home
community insist that there was
never the proper evidence to have
convicted him. He stood well
in his home county, was one of
those physicians who neglected
his own business in behalf of his
patients and never refused to ans
wer a call no matter what the
weather nor the financial condi-
ton of those who needed his SER
vices. His return was eagerly
awaited by many old friends in
Cavalier county. In spite of the
fact that he gave little attention
to his business interests, he had
accumulated considerable in
come, and owned land in his home
county and at various places in
Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Two Survive Him.
He is survived by brother and
sister, both livins in Milton, but
was not married. The body will
probably be taken to his old home
for burial, his brother being ex.
pected here todev TO take charge
the remains as soon as certain
legal formalities are gone through

Raising Of F-4
Slow Process

IL. r. II. Weirick Of this city
has received very interesting
letter from his brother, w. c.
We'rick. who is a resident doctor
in Hawaii, and who recently had
an opportunity to watch the div
ers at work in an attempt to res
cue the bodies of the men who
sank in the i'll fated submarine
F 4.
Following is an excerpt from
the letter which mentions the ILL.,
fated submarine:
The F a is still at the bottom.
though it has been raised to some
extent and pulled inshore about
zoo feet no steep hill. 1t weighs
about 400 tons now and it is a
big task to raise it. Four big
cables are around it. and the
Maryland is to do the pulling
when the winds and waves be-
come calm enough to permit
work.
The two biggest tugs in the
harbor could not bulge the
weight when it was lifted from
the bottom, as the big weight
to which the cables are fastened
tw which the cables are fastened
to sink about three feet in the
water. 1t is thought the Mary
land can move it. but no ATTEMPT
will be made until the ocean is
smoother. Very strong winds
for week now, along with high
seas, is considered too much of a
strain for work. Last Tuesday
one of the divers went down in a
diving suit and got his air line
fouled as he reached the bottom
at 29O feet. This happened at
1870 A. M. Another diver
went to the rescue, but didn't get
him to the surface till 800 P. M.
He was then hurried into recon-
preston chamber where the pres
sure was gradually reduced. 1t
wash t until after ten o clock the
next morning before he was again
at normal pressure. He is coming
out all O. K. but has had a hard
time. This is a record depth and
by far the longest time anyone
has ever been under water so
long.
The aim in salvaging the F. 4
is to drag it to the shallow waters
where divers can work in safety,
and then rig up a sling and pull
it up between the tow scows or
it that fails to submerge the big
sccws, fasten the cables up short
and then pump out the scows.
1t is big job and SO necessarily
slow. Comment from the coast
has been that the workers had no
system, were too slow, etc., but
everyone here thinks the men did
wonders with the very little at
hand to work with. Everyone
here rakes the navy department
for its lack of salvaging apparatus
here-not even divers suit, be-
longing to the government on the
Islands. The man who went
down us feet soon after the F 4
sank, had on only helmet which
was held in place by the pressure
of the water so that he could not
turn his head in the least or the
water would come in and drown
him instantly. Rather risky, eh?''

To the air of 'Iipperary". the
Allies war song, on Tuesday
evening at the opera house. two
dozen young ladies from the To-
cal high school enunciated the
above. following the picture dra-
ma, treating Of equal suffrage,
Your Girl and Mine.
This masterpiece of photo art
teaches a good lesson. 1t elo-
quently emphasizes the efficacy of
equal suffrage. Though its many
excellent dramatic situations are
not woven together as a severe
critic might demand yet the evil
.dence of dramatic license" is lost
in ones appreciation of the moral
that is exempli6ed. Aside from
pointing out the ideals of every
.sufragist the drama fully enlight-
ems the spectator, regarding wom-
ans constant public influence for
good, though denied the ballot,
and calls attention to the great
reforms that may be brought
about only through feminine in
huence. 1t moreover brings one
to appreciate what great ques-
ton equal suffrage is and how
necessary it is to those who now
have the ballot to give due con-
sideration to the reforms which
are suggested as only possible
through equal suffrage. The
drama. moreover. depicts condi-
;tions as they exist in localities
where population is congested,
where child labor laws are for
gotten, where proper sanitary
conditions are refused, where just
compensation to women and the
children is avoided wherever it
is possible. The taxation of wo-
men without giving them proper
representation is also very fully
treated. Most striking of all is
the attention that is called to the
circumstances in which a mother
at the present time is placed re-
>garding the dominion of her chill
dren and her home. The story
told in the drama hinges on this
question principally.
The pictures were shown to a
packed house. Among the num-
Der present were many young
men and business men of the
city, all of whom expressed them
selves as quite in accord with the
principles referred to in the mo-
ton picture drama.
Manager Smith is deserving of
compliment in having included
this along with the many popular
attractions which he has had at his
house during the past three or four
weeks.
