COLONEL SCARLETT

Colonel Alexander Scarlet is in re-
ceipt of a letter. unsolicited, from
Governor L. B. Hanna, informing him
that he has been appointed on the
Governors personal staff during the
present administration.
This is a gracious honor conferred
upon Colonel Scarlett, as he comes
from the rank and file Of the men who
stood on the firing line of the early
sixties and who are fast passing away.
The Colonel enjoys the unique dis
tinction that during the three term
administration of the Democratic Gov
ernor, the Honorable John Burke, he
was chief of his staff, and when Gov
ernor Hanna, Republican, was elect
ed, among his first appointments was
that of Colonel Scarlet. When the
Colonel was joshed about it by some
of his friends, he said, "Boys, the only
way I can explain it is that am
soldier and not politician"

CLARK AND CR0CKARD
ARE NOT GUILTY
LITIGATION OF YEARS Is ENDED
jim JAM JEMS PUBLISHERS
FACED TRIAL THREE TINES
FOR SAME OFFENSE.

Sam H. Clark and c. II. Crockard,
publishers of Jim Jam Jmes, were
found not guilty of the charge made
by the government of having know
ingly and wilfully deposited for de-
merce, lewd and obscene literature.
The jury were out six hours. 1t is
reported at the first ballot, ten were
for acquittal. The case was tried be-
fore U. S. District Federal Judge w.
F. Booth, United States District At
torney Hildreth of Fargo prosecuting.
The defendants were represented by
Attorneys Tracy and Georg Bangs of
Grand Forks and Dudley l.. Nash of
Minot.
Clark and Crockard shook hands
with the jurors as they filed from the
court room.
Mr.. Hildreth again saw fit to offer
and read other articles in the semi
annual edition which the government
charged as obscene. He favored two
of these, "Chicken Chasing" and "The
Scarlet Woman" with his closest scru-
tiny. These he made effort to show
were in common with other foul liter
ature that this issue contained, and
which he emphasized and ridiculed as
having no such purpose as warning
the youth and innocent against the
immoral pitfalls of life. The district
attorney repeated his accusation that
the defendants were "make believes"
and that the almighty dollar and not
the work of reformation prompted
their motives. Before closing his ar
gument he referred to the evidence
on which the government had based
its charges, and demanded the protec-
ton of the home by putting the pub
fishers out of business.
Sam Clark's Statement.
Have | anything to say? Yes, l
think | have. Thank God for the hu-
manity that is in all of US. Just think
of it-three years of this strain-and
now it is all over. l have never had
any doubt as to the outcome, but | am
glad that the jury has said mot gull
ty." Glad! That doesn't hardly ex-
press it. I think of Crockard and his
wife and babies And then think of
that little girl who has been waiting
three years for the cloud to be lifted.
Did ! wire her that God reigns and
the human race enthusiastically wir-
ed her that / would be there when the
roses bloom again.

SPECIAL EASTER DISPLAY -
HUNDREDS FROM OUT OF
TOWN VISIT THE CITY.

The third annual spring and Easter
opening for the Mccoy Department
store was inaugurated Monday and it
will continue all week long in order to
give the out of town people an oppor-
tunity to see the pretty store in its
gala spring attire.
The interior is indescribably beauti-
full with the wealth of bright new
spring merchandise on display to its
best advantage. The color scheme for
the interior is Battleship Gray and
Flagpole Red. Green vines are used
profusely in the decorations.
The display windows are the most
beautiful the store has yet shown. Old
Grecian columns in stucco effect are
used to advantage. In one window ap-
pears a beautiful ancient musical in
strument, the Tyre, while looking down
onto the pretty scene is beautiful
doll appearing as tho glad that spring
has awakened. Green rose vines and
roses of the French blue color livens
up the scene. ''
The other window has onyx COL
umns, Grecian lamps in Cathedral
glass. There are Battleship Gray and
Old Rose colors with wealth Of green
rose vines. Both windows have the
stucco effect.
Hundreds are visiting the store dai-
ly and the opening is the greatest sue
cess in the history of the store.

and thew went to town to invest in
cars. One bot a $4,000 touring car
and the other Ford. They drove
home, the high priced car passing the
Ford, the owner Of which lived farth-
er down the road. The owner Of the
touring car upon arriving home called
his brother up over the phone. "Bill,
you'd better look that Ford over pref
ty we'll, as l heard something jingling
as l passed you," he cautioned. "Oh,
the Ford's all right, and what you
heard jingling was just the $500 I
was taking back with me-" was the
answer.
An auto driver went into a clothing
store at Bismarck and asked for a
cheap suit Of clothes. The merchant
showed him one for $18, but that was
too high. Another for fifteen, one for
ten, and finally he bot cheap suit for
five dollars. "Now show me a good
pair of Shoes" the driver said, and he
invested in a six dollar pair of "kicks."
otis none of my business" the mer-
chant remarked, "but you do look fun
ny with five dollar suit of clothes
and a six dollar pair of shoes on;
there's such a contrast" "Well, you
See it's this way. I drive a Ford and
Pm under the sonofagun most of the
time and about all anyone can see of
me is my feet" the driver explained.

ORATIONS - HUNDREDS OF
BUYERS.

The annual Easter opening at the

last thruout the week. Ellison & Sons
have made unusual preparations for
this event and hundreds have visited
the store up to date. Considerable
pains have been taken both with the
interior decorations and with the dis
play windows. Some of the choicest
seasons offerings are to be seen in the

are Easter lilies and ferns while the
floors are covered with the late gray
materials. Garden scenes done in
water colors set the windows off to ad-
vantage. Marble pillars may be seen
in one window while the old Egyptian
style of architecture was followed in
the other. Pretty spring garments
are shown in both windows.

Poll Tax Law Still in Effect.

Some think that the last legislature
did away with paying the poll tax,
but this is not the case. Every male
person between the ages Of 81 and so
are required to either work out his poll
tax on the highway or pay the tax,
which is $1.50. Credit for the poll tax
is given for days work on the road,
many being willing to put in the day
for that amount because they can
work on some piece of highway that
they use frequently. If one refuses
to pay or work out the poll tax af-
ter being notified by the overseer, one
dollar a day for each days delay can
be charged against him. It makes no
difference whether you are tax payer
or not and even if you are not a citi-
zen of the United States yet, you must
pay this poll tax. Of course, if one is
sick or disabled, he is exempt from
this and there are a few other cases,
for instance members of fire depart
ments are excepted.

SHOOTS WOMAN
Twice IN HEAD
MICHAEL ULICk IN JAIL AT DEV-
Ills LAKE CHARGED WITH AT
TEMPT TO KILL.

Michael Ulick is in Jail at Devils
Lake charged with shooting Mrs. Ber-
nard Vessels, in nattempt to murder
her. The woman was shot twice in
the head and her physician says there
alleged to have committed the crime
on public highway between Nelson
and Ramsey counties. AS the authori-
ties from the latter county arrested
him, Ramsey county will have to bear
the expense of the trial.
Ulick took the daughter of the wo-
man he attempted to kill into Ramsey
county, where the arrests were made.
Ulick broke down in Jail Sunday and
cried like child.
Lakota, N. d., March 29-wth the
charge of attempted murder, depend
ing on the recovery of one of his vic
tins, and the charge of fiendish as
sault on the daughter of the woman
he attempted to kill to answer, Mich
ael Ulick is being held in cell in the
! Ramsey county Jail, mute with con-
sciousness of the awful crime he COM
mitted.
Sneaking up behind rig in which
were Mrs. Bernhard Vessels, her
daughter Sarah, age 18 years, and
little sister, who live in Illinois town
ship, Nelson county, Ulick on Friday
night fired two shots into the moth
er's head. Her body dropped out of
the rig and leaving it for dead on the
public highway which forms the coun-
ty boundary line between Nelson and
Ramsey counties, Ulick took her seat
in the vehicle and driving to a nearby
woods, subjected the daughter to a
brutal assault. Next morning Ulick
drove into Lakota, where he was ap-
pretended by Sheriff Martin Olsen,
who with Deputy Ed Elliott secured
the country south of Doyon early that
day. The man was brought to Devils
Lake.
Ulick came to North Dakota from
Long Prairie, MINI. For twelve years
he has lived in the country northeast
of Hamar, working the J. Kelly farm,
which is in Odessa township, Ramsey
county. The Vessels farm is just
across the line in Nelson county. Ac-
cording to what can be learned Ulick
has directed his attention to Miss
Vessels for some time. The mother
objected to his coming to the place
and hatred between them was engen-
dered.
