With P|TCHF0Rk
f. E. BURRIS ARRESTED CHARG-
ED WITH ASSAULTING POL
LOCK WITH FORK OUT ON THE
AUSLANDER FARM.

f. f. Burris, who has been employ
ed at the Henry Auslander farm south
of the city, was placed under arrest
Tuesday afternoon at his rooming
house in this city, charged with at
tacking Pollock with whom he had
been working, with a pitchfork, that
morning. The Pollock was on the
load and Burris, who didn't have any
use for him, got into an argument
with the fellow, attacking him with a
fork. The victim was struck over the
head, shoulders and arms with the
fork and fell to the ground. Mr. Aus
lander brot the man to the city in his
auto. The fellow, despite his injuries,
at first refused to go to the hospital,
but finally was induced to submit to
the care of a surgeon.
Burris telephoned to the city for
ar auto and came to the city to give
himself up. He has been working as
brakeman for the G. N. and for two
years was in charge of the G. N.
warehouse at Devils Lake. He ap-
pears to be good sort of fellow.
81 never attacked man with any
thing except my fists before in my
life," he said. "but that Pollock is
not an ordinary sort of fellow and
l was afraid Of him. Why, have seen
him bend large spikes with his hands
and surely did not care to let him get
hold of me-"

Machine FOR
REPAIRING TIRES
MlNOT SHOE HOSPITAL IN
STALLS WONDERFUL MA.
CHINE THAT BIDS FAIR TO
REVOLUTIONIZE METHOD OF
PATCHING TIRES.

E. E. Ring, proprietor Of the Minot
Shoe Hospital, recently added ma
chine to his equipment which bids fair
to revolutionize the industry of re-
pairing worn out automobile tires
thruout this section. With the aid of
this machine Mr.. Ring can place one
worn out tire upon another and stitch
them together so securely that the
revamped tire is in many respects su-
perior to a new tire. The machine
used in this stitching operation is one
of immense size, weighing over 1000
pounds, the needle passing through
rivets, several thicknesses of the heav-
lest rubber, or the thinnest fabric with
equal facility. The thread used has a
tensile strength of $50 pounds, being
what is known as Barber's waxed
thread. The sewing is the lock stitch,
with IL stitches to the inch. The
machine is new invention and very
expensive. There are but seven Of
these machines in the west. There are
none in Minnesota or in South Dako-
ia. 1t is wonderful to see this giant
machine sew along thru an inch board
with stitch as perfect as that of the
finest sewing machine used in dress
making establishments. Just take a
couple old auto tires along with you
as you go to witness the operati n
of this new invention and get Mr..
Ring to fix them up for you.
