A WILD MAN
FROM BORNE0
Is Inhabitating These Parts For
the Last Three Weeks on the
Banks Of tho River
NEAR HORSESHOE ISLAND
And Also on the Breckenridge
Side Chasing Women and
Children In Natures Dress

We have amongst us that ter
rible specimen, ever yet known to
the human race, wild man. He
was not brought from the exiles
of Borneo on the river Elastic
but as far as anybody yet knows
he is supposed to have originated
from the regions of the inferno
and OH earth for the first time, in
our midst. Pitfalls and other
means that have been used so
successfully by the carnivals and
show troupes in captivating their
annual wild men will no doubt
have to be brought into use, be-
fore this nude attired in his lat
est composed styles is arraigned
and examined. He romps over
this country like hawk search
ing for mice in the stubble fields
and his methods employed are un-
rivalled by anything that has here
tofose puzzled the officials on
both sides of the river.
The first that was ever known
of him was his first appearance
and that was about three weeks
ago near the VIM. Lehman home
north of Breckenridge, about four
O'Clock in the morning. Mr.. Leh-
man sent the dogs after him and
even the dogs couldn't catch him,
for he disappeared completely
His next appearance was in the
corn field of Mr.. Brandon's across
the road from the Lehman truck
farm when five women from
Breckenridge were out walking he
came On to them all of a sudden
yelling at the top of his voice and
doing a bonnie ton don with frills
and frizzles. The women became
frightened at all such antics and
started on their way back like
Wild Bob Burman i'm his ghost
ride on race course. Then all OF
a sudden he disappears from view
and although the officers on both
sides of the river have hunted for
him for hours, he is lost to them
entirely and up until this time no
clue as to whom it may be or his
whereabouts.

d. s. FOOTBALL
SEASON STARTS
Saturday with a oame with Far
90 at tho Later Grounds
In Opening Game
WILL HAVE STRONG TEAM
Is Tho Prospect In Sight at Tho
Local High School and Old
Scores Will be Wiped Out

The local high school football
team will journey to Fargo Sat-
urday and try conclusions with
the team of that place. The local
boys are working hard on some
new formations that the coach
thinks will be sufficient to give
Fargo boys the battle of their
lives. OF course in this early
stage there is quite lot of crude
ness that cannot all be smoothed
over before this game is placed
but a good deal of it will be taken
out and the boys no doubt will be
in good shape for so early this
fall to give good account of
themselves.
The material is good and only
one thing hinders good workouts
each evening after school and
that is, the fact that some of the
boys think they will be able to
make the team whether they prac-
tice Or not: But the coach is go
ing to take a different view of it.
Team work is what counts and a
good trained inferior boy in size
is worth a good deal more to q
team than a stout boy with very
little training.
The boys are going to use good
open formations and if the luck
of the game as far as it goes,
breaks even the boys farther
north will be praying for the
game to end.

Looal Officers Again Nail Bad
Customers In q Very Short
1ime After
THE ALARM WAS GIVEN
To Them That Tough Looking
Men Were Carrying Arms
And Of holdup Story

When it comes to gathering in
suspects and bad customers, You
have to hand it to our local Off
GERS in this city and county. No
ADLER men We're ever sworn in to
protect us from the safe cracker,
gold brick specimen and the gen.
uine artery surgeon, than Sheriff
Budack and Deputies McMichael

lice Powrie and assistants Nick
Holman and John Visger. Many
"a man has been brave and fear
less within our domains but when
it comes to putting them behind
the bars in few minutes CON-
paratively speaking it is the above
men that deserve the medals.
Mrs. Jake Hermes telephones
the police force Monday afternoon
that. she saw some men taking
guns out of a wood pile nearby,
that supposedly had been hidden
by them. Chief Powrie goes after
them and found two men near the
N. P. tracks and brought one be-
fore her and then she could not
positively identity them, but after
letting this man go the Chief on
further evidence offered by Mr..
Martin Peterson that he saw
them while standing On the G. N.
tracks and could identify them.
But no guns could be found.
Then Policemen Holman and
Visger started to search the corn
field in search of the above men,
toned articles and a man came
running up to them and inform
ed these two officers that he had
been beat up and robbed of over
one hundred dollars and his
watch. So Officer Visger came up
to the depot and informed the
Sheritf's office and Chief of Po-
lice Powrie of this, and they went
Immediately to the scene. Officers
Holman and Visger then started
down the Milwaukee tracks to
head them off and Powrie, Budack
and McMichael go down Sixth st.
on that road that leads past the
corn field, just south of the N.
r. tracks with an automobile.
When the men saw Officers Hoh-
man and Visger they started beat
: ing it toward the road that leads
towards the poor farm and it was
here that Officers Powrie, Budack
and McMichael overlook them and
placed them under arrest. Just
before this however, they dropped
their guns and while in this act
the officers i'm the car saw one
gun drop and, this was enough ev-
idence to search for the other
guns which they Immediately
found, totaling four in number.
A searchlight of considerable size
was another article found on
them. When this complaining
witness told of this holdup he also
told of the four guns and other
