Bright is the light of the headlight
But her eyes are brighter far.

She waits for me with a loving

Mocking him scornfully.

is fault in the character of the one

STRANGER DROWNED
IN MOUSE RIVER
YOUNG MAN ABOUT 28 YEARS
OF AGE TAKEN WITH CRAMPS
IN 500 SWIMMING HOLE-THE
BODY RECOVERED IN AN HOUR

A stranger, whose identity is not
known at the time this is written, was
drowned at the 500 swimming hole,
near The 500 bridge at three o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, in fifteen feet Of
water. The afternoon was warm and
in company with two friends, who de-
parted hurriedly as soon as the young
man disappeared beneath the water,
he went to the stream to swim. He
took off his shoes and shirt, but left
on his overalls and socks. He at
tempted to swim across the stream,
which is but few rods wide at that
point, and when near the opposite side,
was taken with cramps and sank.
The Minot police department was
notified and a number Of patrolmen
and members Of the fire department
hurried to the scene, but it was nearly
an hour before VIM. Holt got hold Of
the body with a graphing hook and
pulled it to shore. A pulmotor was
sent to the place and used, but the
body had been in the water too long.
The remains were taken to Rowan's
undertaking establishment and pre-
pared for burial. An effort is being
made to locate the friends of the
young man. He is described as being
about 20 years of age, dark hair and
dark complexion, feet 7 inches tall
and weighing about 100 pounds. 1t is
likely that he is some harvest hand
who arrived in the city expecting to
work in this vicinity.

ABSENT-MINDED MAN FORGOT
HIS WIFE-HAD TO GO BACK.

While on his way home from days
shopping at Rockford, Wis, w. H.
Boyd, a prosperous farmer who lives
just across the state line, brought lis
team to walk and scratched his head.
He was sure he had forgotten some
thing. Try as he would, he couldn't
think what it was, so he drove on.
Arriving home, his loud "whoa"
brought the children out to see what
daddy had brought them from the city.
Their welcome shouts were quickly
|silenced, however.
"Where's mamma ?" they asked in
chorus.
Then Boyd knew what he had for
gotten. His wife had accompanied
him to the city and while she was
making some purchases for herself,
the absent-minded husband had driven
home without her. He broke all the
speed laws driving the IL miles back
to Rockford.

MERCHANTS WATCH
YOUNG SLEUTH FROM CHICAGO
TRACKED HOBO TO MINOT AND
GOT BACK VALUABLE WATCH
STOLEN FROM ]. F. CHISHOLM.

J. F. Chisholm, merchant at Don
nybrook, laid his gold watch upon the
counter one day last week and while
he was waiting on a customer sneak
thief snatched the timepiece and vam-
oosed. Upon missing his watch Mr..
Chisholm Judged that some tramp
had appropriated it so he engaged a
young fellow named Strache, who had
been employed around the store, tenn
porarily, to catch the thief. Young
Strache is high school graduate from
Chicago, notwithstanding the fact
that he struck town riding the rods of
a through freight. He Immediately
went down along the track where a
company of bo's were encamped, and
striking up an acquaintance with them
learned that a tramp had left that
morning on an east bound freight,
bound for Carpio. In company with
Chisholm, Strache proceeded to Car
pio. where he learned that a farmer
near there had purchased watch
that morning from tramp, who had
left town soon afterwards, going to
Minot.
The watch proved to be the one lost
by Mr.. Chisholm, so they came on to
Mniot and informed the police, giving
them a description Of the fellow.
About an hour later while in a whole
sale grocery, Mr.. Chisholm was called
to the phone and informed that the
guilty party was safe behind the bars
Of the city bastile, and that he had
made a complete confession. Young
Strache proved his ability as a sleuth
and no doubt will be suitably reward

Minot Wins in Cando Series.

Minot won two out of three in a
mighty fast series with Cando. The
first game was played Friday evening,
Minot winning to 3. Cando should
have won the game, but Keenan,, the
pitcher, went "up in the air. in one
inning, letting Minot score four times.
He was taken out, but too late to save
the game.
Cando won Saturdays game to 0,
but Sunday lost Z to g.. This was the
most exciting game of the season. The
immense crowd was up on their feet
half the time and the players had
some lively arguments, but nothing
really serious happened. The game
was one of good many errors. First
one team was ahead, then the other.
Spillane started pitching for the To-
Gals, but he was nearly overcome by
the heat and Leigh finished. Spillane
did some heroic batting. He made one
home run and pounded out single
that went past the third baseman, al
lowing him to go to third. He was
caught between third and home, but
brot in two scores.
