Revelers in Trouble

Sivert Hegg got into an argument
in the Hegg neighborhood one
day last week and grew so demonstra-
tive that neighbors called in the police
officer. Hegg and his daughter,
Sophie Hegg. threw diplomacy to the
winds in negotiating with neighbor
and were charged with language that
would make a levee riot resemble
pink tea. Both were taken before
Judge Beise who assessed fine of
SIS against each defendant, which
was paid.
The Heggs are we'll known in this
city and county.
Fred Sulliere appeared before
Judge Beise Monday morning and was
sent to Jail for 80 days on charge
of assault preferred by Mrs. Sulliere.
While under the influence of liquor
Saturday night Sulliere grew violent.

FIRST 1915 WHEAT
ARRIVES In TOWN
Max Trantow Brings Whole Car
of No. l Marquis which
Yields Is Bushels to Acre

Max Trantow, a Morris liquor
dealer, has the distinction of being the
first man to bring new wheat to Nor
ris elevators this year. Trantow
arrived with bis first load at the
Eames elevator Thursday last week
where the grain graded No. l North
ern and brought 81. IL per bushel on
"a falling market. His wheat was
Marquis and was threshed on his farm
near this city. some of it being raised
within the city limits. It ran fifteen
bushels per acre and scored a weight
of 81 pounds per bushel. Mr.. Trantow
filled orders for whole car.
Trantow had not been at the elev-
ator long before Charley Glover reg
istered at the mills with load of
Marquis wheat which also ran 81
pounds per bushel but which yielded
sixteen bushels per acre. He re-
ceived the No. / grade.
Martin Sunquist was the third man
across with new wheat. He came
Monday when wheat had dropped to
$1.OO. He scored with grain that
ran SO pounds per bushel. and his
yield was 16 bushels per acre.
Yield reports up till today have
been disappointing. Indications point
to general average yield over Ste
vens county to be about 13 bushels
per acre. and in spots it will be less.
Some Of the fields were touched by
blight late in the season and caused a
heavy shrinkage. Crop estimators
two weeks ago predicted twenty bus
hels per acre. Blue stem and bearded
wheat has been slow in reaching the
local markets. Morris grain dealers
expect the rush to begin next week
the they say il will probable continue
for a month.
Corn which looked like fat failure
three weeks ago, has gained trem-
endously during the warm weather
period and will exceed expectations.
Potatoes and other vegetables are
coming along nicely and will be bet

THIEVES WORK AS
DR.. LEUTY SLEEPS
They Ride Away in His Hand
some Automobile and all
Clues are Battling Police

Sheriff Zahl and Chief of Police
Ryan are searching the country to-
day in hopes of discovering the par
ties who stole handsome automobile
from the garage of DR.. Amos Leuty
early Wednesday morning and made
their getaway. A reward for the ap-
prehensiun of the thieves or the re-
turn Of the car has been offered
by DR.. Leuty and sent broadcast
over the state together with a de-
scription of the car.
The thieves entered the Leuty gar
age about two o'clock Wednesday
morning pushed the car into the
street, started up end sped away 2un-
observed. Several Morris people
claim they heard and saw a car an
swering the description of the stolen
car as it presumably passed the La
Grand hotel about three o'clock. Two
men we're in it but no trace of the
present whereabouts has been learned.
The stolen car was five.passenger
Imperial of the 1913 make and was
one of the finest machines in the city.
When taken from the garage it had
fiat front tire, and contained about
eight gallons of gasoline.
1t is believed the psrties who re-
lieved the doctor Of his auto were
strangers in the city who had spent
some time in searching out their
booty. The fact that Doctors car
could easily be taken out at any hour
of the night without creating suspi-
cion. and the manner in which this
particular car vanished strengthens the
theory of a prearanged plan. The
thieves took no tools but were careful
in securing the tire pump. DR..
Leuty's car is the first car to be stolen
in Morris.
At Murdock Saturday night thieves
entered a garage where two cars
were stored. They selected the light
er of the two and after driving it
three blooksss sssdiscovered shortage of
oil. They Abandoned the car and
went back for the heavier car which
they drove to point within one mile
of Willmar where it was ditched un-
injured. Next day it was discovered
and returned to the owner. 1t is pre-
sumed the night joy.riders tired Of
their pleasure and boarded the morn

ON HANCOCK ROAD R
Shooting Follows Accident Last
Sunday and Andrew Nc
Arthur is Asked to Pay

A little. joy ride which Andrew
Macarthur took near his home last
Sunday afternoon will cost him $3.50
besides slight repairs to his automo-
bileSand waste of time in affecting
a settlement through the courts. Nc
Arthur is we'll known farmer near
Hancock and his troubles began when
his car hit horse belonging to John
Uwanawich, of Chicago, now toiler
in. the North Dakota harvest fields.
After the car hit the horse the animal
was shot and Uwanawich has retained
Attorney Cherry to settle the matter.
Mrs. uwanawich and several child
rem were travelling to the harvest fields
in covered wagon with four horses
abreast when they met Macarthur.
The meeting spot was on a narrow
grade and Mr.. Macarthur says he did
not see the woman's signal to stop
his car. When opposite the horses
one of the animals turned quickly and
the car hit its leg. breaking it at
the hip. Hancock veterinaries order
ed the animal shot.
Mrs. Uwanawich demanded pay for
the horse but her fgures where re-
fused and she came on to Morris to
consult Mr.. Cherry. She says the
animal killed was valuable mare and
that its loss will be a severe handicap
when they reach North Dakota. No
word had been received from Mr..
Uwanawich today.

COMMUNITY SAVED .
FROM DISSENTION
Catholics and Protestants in
Harmonious Relations in
Morris ~

After having lived in peace and
harmony and mutual helpfulness for
thirty years. prominent citizens of
Morris without respect to church
affiliations as we'll as city and county
officials co-operated to prevent the
circulation of defamatorv literature
and the delivery of inflamatory ad-
dresses BY an anti-Catholic speaker
who attempted to come here.
The fact that one of the attaches of
the speaker got into trouble here, and
with which trouble no local people
had any thing to do. is not the matter
referred to, but to the fact that the
speaker was given tho-oly to under
stand that he would be held strictly
accountable to the law.
While the people of Morris are con-
graduating themselves on what they
have escaped, the Irish Standard, a
leading Catholic publication, also has
this kindly notice of the action taken
here -
"The citizens of Morris, Minnesota.
were active in the best interests of
the community last week in dealing
with Non. Catholic lecturers. who have
been making their appearance in Ben
son, Litchfield, and Willmar and who
hoped to repeat their performances in
Morris. Catholics and Non Catholics
alike, took united stand against the
appearance of Jordan ana his lieuten-
ants in Morris. Lots had been rented al
Morris, but the reception received
from the Morris citizens made them
conclude that their best interests were
served by leaving the city. They ac-
cordingly went to Glenwood. The
Catholics of Stevens county are very
grateful for the loyal support and co.
operation given by their Non Catholic
friends in preventing the occurrence
that has sinarred the peace and har.
mony of the other towns where the
lecturers have appeared. The Catho
slics Of theFcsunty and especially ths

.DEVENNEY TO Aid
IN TREE REMOVAL
Car Drivers Find Able Cham.
pion in Campaign to Remove
Danger on Alberta Road

Trees which resemble willows and.
which grow SO thickly as to completely
obscure view of the road around
corner on the Alberta Morris road two
miles from this city, and which are
menace to travellers and a nightmare
to chauffeurs, will very likely dis
appear shortly. j. H. Devenney.
owner of the land on which the trees
grow. has informed the county COM
missioners that if in their opinion the
trees should be removed or trimmed
the commissioners will have the privi-
lege of doing so at any time. Mr..
Devenney is also willing to contribute
toward defraying the expense.
Accounts of narrow escape from
accidents at that point have been told
repeatedly by car drivers. The road
bends arounda slough for distance
of over talf a mile. and as the road
is in fine condition most of the year
the. automobilists cannot always resist
the temptation Of hitting 'er up''.. ..
at a lively clip as they approach the
corner. The corner is sharp where
the road makes the first turn from
the west and the trees shut off the
view across the fields.
The trees can be trimmed up for
a distance of three hundred feet each
way from the corner, - said Mr.. Dew
enney 10 the Tribune last Saturday.
"That would remove the cause of
danger and give an opportunity to see
an approaching vehicle the same as on
any other part of the road. have
informed Mr.. Gausman. the county
commissioner using the road, that the
commi 'sioners have the privilege of
doing this any time. and they may
possibly attend to it..
eff the Automobile Club wishes to
take up the matter and remove the
cause shall be glad to contribute as
much toward the expenees as any in
dividual member IF the club. I be-
leive the cause Of danger should be
removed and that, too, without de-
lay. am ready TO meet any of the
officers at any time to help remove
the cause Of danger. at once. -

ter, at the bat the fans felt that there
was still hope.
Dick struck at two of the pitchers
offerings and missed. The next three
we're wide of the plate. and the UNI
pire called them balls. The pitcher
sent over a fast one on level with
the batter's eyes. Demon Dick
dropped his bat and started for first
base
Batter OUT" yelled the umpire as
the ball thudded into the catcher's
glove.
The pinch hitter stopped in his
tracks. Breathless with suspense.
the fans watched him turn and walk
toward the umpire. his hands
clenched and his face black with
rage. HE won't do a thing to that
cross-eyed mutt" chortled the bat
boy, gleefully.
And. as 1t happened, the bat boy
was right. Demon Dick did not do
q thing to the umpire. For Just as
Dick opened his mouth to intone his
song Of hate a woman leaned out over
the railing Of a grand.stand box and
