Jail Empty for the
First Time in Year

East Grand Forks, Mimi, Nov. %
For the first time in over a year,
the East Grand Forks city Jail is emp
ty. No police court was held this
morning.
During the year, the local Jail has
harbored from three to 120 prisoners
every day. On one day this fall, po-
lice court had to be held on Sunday
afternoon to make room in the city
Jail for more. ..-..
The cold weather at this time of
the year has much to do with the
scarcity of vags in the city. The clos
ing of the East Grand Forks saloons
also keeps many of the undesirables
away from the city, and those that
remain here find it hard matter to
obtain enough Of the "firewater" to
enable them to qualify for a birth in
the city jail.

No Meat for Breakfast;
Carved His Employer

Mott, N. D., Nov. 29.-Peeved be-
cause there was no meat for break
fast at the Plunkett farm north OF
Burt this morning, John Krauchuk, a
young Polack harvest hand attacked
his employers with sharp stiletto.
William Plunkett was slashed four
or five times on the head and stabbed
twice in the thigh. John Plunkett was
stabbed on the head and neck. Both
men are in such condition that they
cannot be moved, but the former is
more seriously hurt.
Krauchuk then attacked other mem
bers of the threshing crew and escap-
ed. He was caught about six miles
east of the Plunkett farm by Sheriff
Wilhell and taken to Mott where he is
being held on the charge of attempted
murder.

cause the site is to be cleared off in 60
days, that building operations will
commence in the spring, chances are
in favor of active work being COM

paign was obtained here today.
First, the Hobson resolution for the
submission Of a prohibitional amend

gress, and the full power of the Anti.
Saloon league will be brought into

intention Of opposing President Wilson
unless he recants his commitment to
the local government policy Of dealing
