sLAuoHTERNo THE BIRDS

Many Of the sportsmen of Wah-
peton took Tuesday morning off
at least to prove to their friends
or neighbors, that he was just as
good as ever. He took with him
his faithful old dog that has stood
many bird in the past, and
who never flushed feathery an
imal in its life, along with his
new pup that made his heart
jump with exultation at the way
lie worked on the training days,
without advice or coaching from
his human master.
Breaking away before the day
light had yet come, made the
roads leaving Wahpeton look like
the Russian army retreating from
Warsaw for everybody was car
rying a good supply of ammuni-
ton and old "trusty.'' Then at
5:07 the guns were brought up to
the shoulder and then the world
knew that the season was on its
way. The morning was cloudy in
the western part of the county
and those who left their watches
to home in the excitement of hav-
ing oversight thirty minutes,
stood fearful that they might
shoot before sunrise and some
game warden being on their trail
A large number of the boys
went down to Fairmount to hunt
ducks and others went out to
HankinsOn and north of Wynd-
mere. Then along about noon un-
til long after sun down the weary
and sore footed human race with
dusty looking autos came vibrat-
ing into Wahpeton, some with a
good load, some with few and
others not any, but anyway the
days sport was took much to stay
away from by the old died in-the-
wool hunters, and so they had to
have at least one more hunt. The
birds We're not as plentiful as 9TH
er seasons and the limit less, but
it was great sport anyway.

ARREST TWO
HIGHWAY MEN
Officers visser and Holman Of
the City Police Force Make
Quick Arrest
EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING
And Already They Arc Bound ov-
or to the District Court
This Fall

A man whose name we did not
learn made a complaint to officers
Holman and Visger early yester-
day morning that while he was
sleeping in box car near the
electric light plant two men en-
tered the car and robbed him of
all his valuables and razor.
The officers started quickly af-
ter the men and soon found them
selves on the right trail which led
them up to the Milwaukee spur,
There they found two men and
placed them under arrest. After
searching them they found arti-
cles on them that resembled the
ones told by the man held up and
when asked to identify them he
readily did so.
The men were arranged before
Chief Justice w. P. Robbins anG
he bound them over to the dis
trict court. The names that they
gave were Gordon Severn anl
William Young.
Ihls again goes to show Whal
splendid police force Wahpetol
has and their efficiency ranks
with the very best. These kind OF
people will soon learn to leave

South Part Of Wahpeton
at the
NORTHERN PACIFIC DEPOT
When Several Prominent Wahpe-
ton Younger Citizens Kept tho
Conductor on Goals

When the passenger train on
the N. p. east last Friday after
noon was scheduled to leave
there We're series of mishaps i'm
the way of several passengers not
arriving on time.
The first of all a young man
who was to be an usher in the
Minneapolis Speedway Grand
stand on Saturday had arrived and
purchased his ticket but his be-
longings had been overlooked at
the hotel where he had been stay
ing and the conductor very oblig-
ingly told him to hurry up and
he would wait. Well then the fun
started. This young man was no
more than on his way back up
town when a cloud of dust that
resembled windstorm i'm all
ways was seen to arise in great
clouds just south of the Great
Northern tracks and out of it
came passenger who at this
time was a half minute late. Then
another cloud rose right out of
the same spot and another pass
enger was one minute late. Then
they began to come from all di-
rections and the suspense amid
bursts of merriment as the on
lockers watched the "hurry-up'
proceedings as whether all the
passengers who were to board
this train would arrive on time
before the young man who haC
went up to a hotel got back. Wei
here came men running, al
makes of cars and when the

Kelly-kneeland and their clev-
er company Of singers, dancers
and comedians opened their en-
gagement at the Davidson last
night to all audience that tested
capacity of the theatre. From the
time the curtain on the opening
act to the finale the clever conc

cid humor, everything went with
snap and there did not seer,

GESTURES We're bright, c'";t" and
sparkling AMI added much to the
success 0f the performance.
Frank Kelly is q typical Irishman
direct from The sod and had a
very little trouble in finding a
warm welcome in the hearts of his
admirers. Grace Kneeland put
over several musical numbers in
which she received repeated en-
cores. George Roberts is a good
running mate for Mr.. Kelly and
is very clever German comedian
Harry Macy, as Doctor Quack,
makes a splendid feeder for the
comedian and kept the audience
in an uproar with his ''bunco
methods" to the comedians. The
entire performance is absolutely
clean, wholesome comedy. The
Kelly-Kneeland engagement is for
eight days and they will no doubt
play to capacity business during
their engagement. At the the
