Somebody must have had his fng-
ers crossed when Emile Ersak, an
Enterprise coal miner, tried to pros
ecute criminal case in Magistrate

Emile forgot to touch wood when he
started things. Anyway, 1t was n

This was not neighborly at all and
the more Emile got to thinking about

he had been unduly imposed upon, as
he valued those chickens at $1.50.
Moreover, he had been figuring on
eating them at his own table.

court, the issuance of 4 warrant
against Storlenski and the doing OF
sundry cher things. necessary for the

AMERICAN PACKERS HAVE
UNCLAIMED PRODUCTS

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Aug. IT,
A large quantity Of provisions were re-
ceived in Norway last spring, CON
signed to Armour and Morris, Chris
tiania," although these Chicago pack
srs have no branch offices in this coun-
try, still remain here unclaimed. The
original consignment included 1000
boxes of pork, 1900 barrels of lard.
and 300 barrels of oil. 1t is generally
believed here that the provisions were
sent from the United States IN the ex-
pectation that they would be aiken
care of here by German agents and
re-exported to Germany, but the Nor
wegian laws forbid this. The govern.
ment has disposed of portion of the
provisions to meet the expenses of
storage, but the remainder is still
waiting for the importer or owner.
Attempts to smuggle contraband ma
terial through Norway continue, but
they are completely frustrated, it is
declared, by the viligance of the Gus
toms officials. Some days ago a Ger
man freight car with double walls was
discovered by a station agent near
Christiania. Space between the two
walls of the car was crowded full os
copper, while the body of the car was
loaded with wondow sashes and had II
not been for the inspection by the sta
ton agent the copper would have es-
capped to Germany.
