CREEK ARRESTED FOR
/. BREAKING QUARANTINE
MAN WHO TOOK FRENCH LEAVE
FROM BURLINGTON WHILE
UNDER QUARANTINE is CAP
TURED AT GENOA.

Deputy Sheriff Vandenoever made a
trip on Wednesday to Genoa, where he
took into custody Tom Jogulis, a
Greek who recently broke quarantine
at Burlington, where he was confined
for small pox.
The quarantine laws of the state are
very strict and the punishment pro-
vided for any violation of these laws
is severe. The fact that Jogulis is a
Greek whose understanding Of Eng
lish is none too good, may result in
leniency being shown him but were it
not for this fact he would undoubted-
ly receive severe sentence.
1t is safe to say that one experience
Of this kind will be enough for Mr..
Jogulis and his arrest on the charge
of quarantine breaking should serve
as a warning to all those who may be
tempted to follow his example.

equipment in one room. The alleys
were bought from the Brunswick
Bake -Colander Co., and the material
is as fine as in any bowling alley in
the United States. The alleys them
selves are made of selected hardwood
maple, equipped with automatic pin
settlers. The lighting system is per-
feet and an immense crowd has visited
the place daily since the opening.
F. H. Smith, who had charge OF the
Elks' bowling alleys in Minneapolis, Is
here in charge of the Manson alleys:
Arrangements can be made for la
dies afternoons. In many cities ladies
take great delight in the sport.
Manson Bros have besides, fine
pool hall with ten tables, and own
three of our very best confectionery
stores. They are making money here,
and what is better, they are investing
it right in Minot. They are mighty
good men for the city.
