l. w. w. Guilty
of Sabotage
ORSAG RUDOLF, A BOHEMIAN,
PLEADED GUILTY TO WRECK
ING BOWBELLS THRESHING
MACHINE BY PUTTING ROCKS
IN BUNDLES.

Orsag Rudolf, a Bohemian, twenty
five years Of age, who has been in
this country only twenty months,
pleaded guilty before Judge Leighton
this morning of wrecking Ed McIntee's
threshing machine, operating on the
Robert Emerson farm eight miles
north of Bowbells Tuesday morning,
by placing rocks in the bundles of
grain. The Judge sentenced the cri-
minal to three years at hard labor in
the penitentiary. This is quick JUS
tice, for it was but twenty-four hours
after the crime was committed until
the man received what he had COM
ing.
Rudolf became dissatisfied with his
work and quit. When McIntee paid
him his wages, he claimed that he
still had $3.50 coming, and so to get
even with the owner Of the machine,
he placed five large stones in the bun
dies. Members of the crew saw the
man leaving the farm and putting
something in the grain as he walked
along. An investigation was made
and three stones were found, but one
of the others that was overlooked,
broke the machine badly. The man
on the wagon growing alarmed at the
noise jumped to the ground and was
injured.
A son of John Emerson was sent to
Northgate to bring back some men
and Rudolf, not realizing that he was
going back to the place where he had
caused the damage, got into the auto.
When within a mile of the farm, he
noticed that the surroundings were ia
miliar, so jumped from the auto while
going 20 miles an hour. He ran into
the field, but was captured and turned
over to the authorities.
Rudolf was brought to Minot We'd
nesday by Sheriff w. c. Heath, States
Attorney H. A. Hanson and Clerk Of
Court w. C. Martin. He appeared
wild-eyed before Judge Leighton and
confessed to the crime
"1'm guilty, but the owner of the
machine was guilty first. Why don't
you bring him before you in irons,
too?" he inquired of the Judge.
AS he was being led to the Jail, he
made a break for liberty on Main
street, and the sheriff put him in
handouts.
Rudolf has working l. w. w. card
and in lieu of blankets, carried about
fifty pounds of ,sI.JS&W. w. literature
He had been receiving $3.50 a day,
but wanted more money and better
grub he stated. He has $14 and Of
fered the money to the man who
caught him if he'd turn him loose so he
could burn Mc1ntee's threshing outfit
He is a criminal of the lowest type,
and were he in possession of gun,
he'd prove mighty dangerous.
The Bowbells threshers have been
experiencing some trouble with l. w.
w. agitators, one or two of whom
managed to attach themselves to each
rig.

J. G. Smallwood's
Brother is Dead
SILAS SMALLWOOD, PROMINENT
CITIZEN OF HARCOURT, N. B.,
DIED SEPT. AT THE AGE OF
66.

The following taken from the
Moncton Daily Transcript, of New
Brunswick, tells of the death of a
brother to j. C. Smallwood, of this
city. Mr.. Smallwood has the sympa-
thy of his many friends:
Shortly before midnight on Wednes-
day, September 9Th, Mr.. Silas Small
wood, a highly esteemed and widely
known citizen of Harcourt, passed
peacefully away, at the age Of &C
years.
The deceased has been in failing
health for several months, but was
able to move about until the day be-
fore his death. Although his friends
and loved ones felt that the end was
not far off, they did not expect that
it would come so suddenly or sc
soon.
Mr.. Smallwood leaves to mourn
the loss of kind husband and q
loving father, sorrowing widow
three sons and three daughters. The
sons are Herbert of Minot, North Da.
kota; Robert of Irma, Alberta, anC
William, of Harcourt, and the daugh
tiers are Mrs. Robert Wathen, of Sa
lem, Mass; Miss Drusilla. of the
, teaching staff Of the high school
Sackville, and Maud at home.
The deceased was one of large
family of brothers and sisters, nine
of whom survive him. These are
Leonard, of Maple Glenn; Cameron, OF
Newcastle; William, Of Moncton; ant
James, of Minot, North Dakota, ane
Mrs. David Petrie, Loggieville; Mrs
William Russell, Newcastle; Mrs
Charles Scott, Sackville, and Mrs. Will
liam Buchanan, Winnipeg.
Mr.. Smallwood was a man of sterl
ing worth and took deep interest ir
all which tended to the upbuilding OF
the community. He will be much mis-
sed in the Presbyterian church, OF
which he was ever a staunch supper
ter. For many years he has beer
one of the trustees and for some time
he has also been on the board of man
ayers. His place will be hard to fill
But while he will be much missed ir
the home and in the other different
spheres of life, yet knowing that he
is free from all suffering and pain
none could be so unkind as to wish
him back again.

Chief of Police
Chased by Bear
DAN DOUGHERTY COMES OUT
SECOND BEST IN BEAR HUNT
jim HOOKER'S YOUNG BRUIN
RUNS AMUCK ON NORTH SIDE.

Dan Dougherty, our popular and
capable chief of police, has tanned
murderers and all sorts of other des-
perate criminals, but he would never
qualify as trainer Of wild animals for
Hagenbeck.
Jim Hooker, who lives on Fourth
avenue N. W., owns nearly grown
young bear. He went away two
weeks ago, making arrangements with
a neighbor to feed the animal, but the
young Bruin slipped the chain from
over its neck and became the terror
of the neighborhood. The police de-
partment was notified and the chief,
with that sturdy patrolman, John
Reed, hurried to the scene with Mi
not's new auto patrol.
The bear was found among the trees
in the yard, hunting in the leaves for
something to eat. Mr.. Dougherty got
the chain, slipped up behind the ami
NAL, and just as he was about to place
the moose over the head, the bear
turned around fiercely, with its mouth
wide open, and struck at the officer.
Dan was not looking for such recep-
ton, so jumped back, but the furious
animal kept right on coming, with its
mouth open wider than ever. Dan let
out yell like Comanche and lodged
behind tree. Looking around the
tree he saw the frenzied animal still
advancing and Dan ran as fast as his
legs would carry him to another tree.
All the while Dan was thinking of that
touching little ditty: "Lord, if you
can't help me, don't help the bear"
A moving picture machine might have
caught something choice had an OPP
orator foreseen the thrilling attack.
Dan pulled his gun, intending to de-
fend his life if necessary. Reed stood
near by, but it all happened so quick
ly that he could do nothing but Won
der at the chiefs alertness. The
bear was finally freed, tied with a
clothes line, and thrown into the pa
troll wagon. 1t was taken to the home
of Mr.. Reed, where it is now on exhi-
bition in a cage.

DAN d. MANSON GIVES MINOT
PLACE TO BE PROUD OF IN OLD
POSTOFFICE LOCATION.

The new Savoy Cafeteria was op-
ened Friday evening in the old post
Office block, North Main street, by Dan
D. Manson. A large crowd attended
the opening and pronounced the place
faultless. Those who are supposed to
know, say there isn't better equip
ped cafeteria this side of the Twin
Cities, and in fact the Savoy is su-
perior to practically every cafe in the
cities in some particulars. Money
could not buy a finer equipment and
there is nothing lacking to make the
place complete n every way. Ma
turally, Minot is proud Of the place,
for such up-to-date, spick and span
places is what puts Minot in the lead
of all cities. -.>
The place has seating capacity of
12O. The equipment was secured
through the Koehler & Hinrichs Co.,
of St. Paul. The place is light and
airy and the arrangement admirable.
C. Van Duyn, who has had consider
able experience in the business, has
been secured as manager.

ure, weighing As pounds per bushel,
and average Of 120 bushels per acre,
