Several days ago fellow giving his
name as John Snyder, but which was
undoubtedly an alias, was arrested
with a pal and put in the county Jail,

the sheriff at Clay Center, Neb., and
word was sent back that this party
was wanted there for cutting affray

comes to town wit .esA IS,
which he sells three tays'' getting
of course 10 cents for, In.
Another farmer, also with thirty ap-
pies, sells them two for a cent, getting
Is cents for his. They got twenty
five cents in all.
The next time they came in, with
thirty apples apiece, they meet at the
edge of town and put their apples to-
gether, making sixty apples. One
man having sold two for cent, the
other three for a cent, they decide to
sell them five for 2 cents.
They do so, and when they'e thru
find out they have received but "a
cents.
The problem is, why did they not get
as much for their apples selling them
five for 2 cents as they did when they
sold them separately. Or, what be-
came of the cent?

MAN RUN OVER BY
WAGON LOAD OF HAY.

Bottineau, N. D., Dec. 2o.-M. J..
Donahue, who, conducts a livery and
feed stable in Bowman, was badly in
jured while hauling hay from the
country south Of here. Near Grand
River he got down on the pole for
some purpose, when the team began
kicking and ran. The wheels of the
wagon passed over one of Mr.. Dona-
hue's arms. and across his back. In
view of the fact that the wagon had
on it a ton and a half of baled hay, it
is almost a miracle that Mr.. Donahue
was not killed. He was Immediately
brought to town and attended by ply
sicians, who state that no bones were
broken and that the injured man is do
ing nicely.

GEE SHOULD HE LAY DOWN
ARMS.
ENTIRE ARMY WOULD RETIRE
WASHINGTON ANXIOUS AT DE-
VELOPNIENTS, HOPING END OF
FIGHT is NEAR.

Washington, Dec. 20.-State depart
ment officials have decided that Gen
eral Villa will receive asylum accord
ed to political refugees should he en-
ter the United States. This decision
was sent last night to General Fun
ston by the war department, for
transmission to Villa, or his represen-
tatives.
Deeply Interested.
Much interest is displayed by Off
cials here as to whether Villa would
accept compromise immunity as a po-
litical refugee.
The state department had reports
that alleged Intermediates had re-
quested Villas immunity from arrest,
saying that if this is given they be-
. lieved Villa would abandon the fight
against Carranza and retire to private
life in the United States.
The state department does not con-
ceal its desire to have Villa eliminated,
! Without him the revolution in the
north will be certain to fall, officials
believe. Intermediates also said that
the plan is for the retirement from
the field of tie entire Villa army.

+, vALLACHANS
MAKE BIC HIT

The OCallahans in that we'll known
play, "Father and the Boys, at the
Grand Opera house Friday evening
last, scored one Of the greatest hits
ever made by this company, who for
the past sixteen years have been play
ing to Devils Lake audiences each sea-
son. The opera house was packed and
from start to finish it was one con-
tinual round of laughter.
In writing of this production it would
be hard to give each and every o.e
who took part, their just dues, but
suffice to say that every one on the
stage proved themselves an actor.
However, we believe that in the work
of Mr.. Edward Flynn, who las been ut
the head Of this organizations for The
past sixteen years, in putting on this
play, and the manner in which he took
his part, he deserves more than lass
ing mention.He was right in his ele-
ment in playing the part Of father,
and his work in handling the putting
on of this play shows much ability
along the line of an actor. From
start to finish there was not a skip,
nor pause in the various parts Of the
actors. All who attended were high
in their praises, and expressed them
selves with more than pleased that
they were able to attend.
The play was put on for the benefit
of the new Elks home, being built in
this city, and will net the neat sum OF
about $500.
