Business Calls Hunter

The hunting pleasures of Dr., F.
B. Kremer and son, George, Of Min
neapolis, were cut short here Wednes-
day evening by message from Gov.
Byrne of South Dakota who urgently
desired an appointment with DR..
Kremer at his Office early yesterday
morning. In company with E. B.
Riniker the Minneapolis sportsmen
had gone into the fields near this
city when the message came. They
had hunted for an hour and a half and
had four fine mallards. Leaving their
car, guns and dog with Mr.. Riniker
they returned to Minneapolis early
yesterday morning but will come
back next Friday.

MEYER Will PUT
LOTS ON MARKET
Exceptionally Fine Building Sites
to be Available Soon on
East Side

Good residence lots within the pre-
sent limits of Morris, especially lots
where the drainage is good, and sew
er and water connections are available
or can be easily obtained are becoming
very scarce. 1t is true that there
are still vacant lots scattered about
the city but they are not many, and
very many of them are not on the
market at all.
Under these conditions, prospective
home builders will welcome the news
that F. D. Meyer and Anton Watzke
who own land northeast of the old
Lincoln school are planning on having
it plated and sold for residence lots.
An inspection of this land reveals
that fact that it will furnish some of
the most desirable sites to be found
anywhere in the city. 1t commands
a fine view of the beautiful Pomme
de Terre valley, and is desirable for
that reason and also because of its
proximity to the new high school, the
agricultural school and the parochial
school. 1t is so situated also that
connection with the present sewer and
water system can be easily and
cheaply attained.
Morris is growing, and it is in
deed fortunate that so desireable
an addition is so easily obtained.

Masons have nothing to say further
than that the matter has been dis

At the regular meeting this week
it was decided to consider the mat
ter seriously and committees were
appointed from the Blue lodge,
Chapter and Commandery. The com
mittee chosen is expected to make
an early report as to sentiment among
the members, site and ways and

able plans will be worked out for
adoption. Sentiment appears to be
unanimous in favor of a Masonic
home that will be a credit to the

MAIL BOX NEGLECT

Mayor Jones and Frank Han.

Mail Box Census is Taken

Free mail delivery in Morris which
is expected within the next few
weeks may be delayed nobody knows
how long unless people who expect to
be served get busy Immediately and
attend to the matter of providing
mail boxes at their doors. The postal
department require eighty-fve percent
of the patrons on the routes to pro-
vide boxes before free delivery is or
dered in Morris. How about you?
Have you got yours?
Mayor E. j. Jones and Commercial
Club President Frank Hancock became
interested in the matter of knowing
how many boxes had been placed on
the routes early this week and both
began canvass. They were surprised
to find only about forty percent of the
necessary number had been provided.
Many of patrons interviewed who
had neglected to provide boxes prom
ised to do so at once. Those who felt
they could not afford an investment
of fifteen to seventy five cents for a
steel box promised to provide a
wooden box-some thought a cigar
box would meet their tastes. The
department. will agree with them. A
contrivance of some kind must be
there when the mail man comes.

TWO AUTO OWNERS
FIND CARS STOLEN
Psstor's Ford and Editors REQ
are Taken from Garages by
Unknown Parties

Would be automobile thieves raided
the garages of Pastor Thornell and
Editor j. C. Morrison sometime dur
ing the still hours of Sunday night
and stole their cars. The automo
biles were found next morning stand
ing in the alleys back of the Thornell
and Morrison residences. Who the
guilty parties are and why they
abandoned the cars after riding them
less than a block remains a mys-
terry.
Rev. Thornell found his car in the
alley next morning. One of the tires
were punctured and the auto key mis-
sing. A few minutes later the theft
of Editor Morrisons' REQ was discov-
cred, and a search brought it to light
standing in drenching rain in the
alley back of the garage. The car
had evidently been driven to the spot
where the driver evidently became
frightened away, left the car and
fled with the key. Except for the loss
of the Key the car was returned in
good condition.
Messrs. Thornell and Morrison are
at loss to know why the cars were
Abandoned so quickly after leaving
the garages. They are under the i'm
preston that some peculiarly consti-
tuted person or persons intended the
stunt as joke, or to teach the valu-
able lesson that garage doors should
be provided with Yale or some kind
of lock. The locks have been at
-tached to the doors today and MIR.
Morrison is waiting for the return of
his automobile key.

COMPANY PAYS FOR
H0LLEklBECk,S LOSS
Otter Tail Light and Power Com
pany Adjusts Storm Damages
in Morris Last June

Full settlement If the claims of Bert
Hollenbeck of this city against the
Otter Tail Light and Power company,
of Fergus Falls, were made this week
when Mr.. Hollenbeck accepted a
check in the amount of 1920 to cover
the loss of two horses killed in this
city during and after a thunder
storm which tore down the company 8
lines and electrocuted the animals.
After becoming acquainted with all
the facts in the case the company
officials IF felt kindly sympathy for
Mr.. Hollenbeck an3 decided to meet
his losses. Mr.. Hollenbeck feels en-
tirely satisfied with the settlement
agreed upon.
1t will be remembered that on the
night of June %, last, a destructive
electrical storm swept over the city
and resulted in much damage. The
electric wires. maintained by the Otter
Tail company were blown down in
various parts of the city and the COM
pany was unable to repair the damage
till the storm subsidized. During the

VICTIM OF Joke"
HAD FIELD GLASS
That is Why Sheriff is Waiting
for Instructions to Round
Up Sport Boarders

High priced ammunition proved ir-
risistible bait for couple of local
hunters near this city last Sunday.
Stealthily they crawled up to buggy
to which horse was hitched, stole a
quantity of shells and faded away
while the driver of the rig was far
away. They think they are safe but
they are mistaken. The sheriff or
some other representative of the law
will be shaking hands with them un-
less they profit by a significant hint
addressed to them by E. G. Maughan
in the want columns of the Tribune
today.
Mr.. Vaughan went to the Kessler
farm last Sunday prepared to do some
hunting. When he went afeld with
his gun and dog he left quantity of
shells in his buggy. Like the real
sportsman he carried field glass and
was using it to good advantage. He
pointed it in the direction of his horse
and buggy and was surprised to see
couple of figures pilfering his
shells. He observed them closely and
recognized a couple Of fellows he has
known for several years. They were
having all kinds Of fun for their. faces
were wreathed in grins as their chins
wagged the joke they were having at
the expense of the hunter who had
come so we'll supplied with ammuni-
tion. When they read this story they
will be surprised to learn Mr.. Vaughan
was watching them block or two
away, and the more he thinks about
their little stunt the less he appreci-
ates the "joke."
81 didn't think much IF the matter
at the time" said Mr.. Maughan yes
terday. 81 imagined the fellows
would come around with the shells or
settle for them like any real sport
would. appreciated the humor Of
the. situation which made me- lug
shells for them and compelled me to
go home without enjoying the shoot
ing had planned. But the ginks
were near enough to me the other day
to square matters and they didn't.
The more l think about it the less I
like the "joke," I'll play fair with
them all the way but if they don't
come across for those shells pretty
soon I'll give little party that will
| Joke the iokers abundantly. -
Judging by the naughty little
twinkle in Mr.. Maughan's eye as
he explained the matter it is evident
that he means business. And the
worst of it is that he refuses for the
present to tell the Tribune who the
parties are, or to give the paper a
story if the boys should decide to
"square the account"

made trips through the city with his
livery team and hack. On one of
these excursions his horses stepped
OF the wrecked wires and one. was
Immediately electrocuted. The other
died several days thereafter, presum-
ably from the effects of the wire
shock. Mr.. Hollenbeck brought claims
against the company which, at first
glance, decided they were not re-
sponsible for conditions they could not
control. For time it looked as if
the matter would have to be aired in
the courts but after much correspond
ence and exchange of views the mat
ter has been amicably settled.

REJECTED GRADES
TAKEN FROM LIST
Wheat Below No. d Will be Sold
Only by Sample Hereafter
Say City Grain Men

Morris millers are looking about for
supply of good wheat to keep their
mills busy and supply the trade with
a -four that will be up to the high
standard maintained in the past.
Much of the wheat raised around
Morris his season appears to be for
an inferior quality and millers and
grain men feel an apprehension of
the future. Already the Morris
City Mills have imported two cars
of fine wheat and more will follow at
regular intervals. Much Of it will
come from South Dakota and Mon
tana where the yields and quality was
never known to be better.
The state board of grain appeals
has decided to eliminate the rejected
grade Of spring wheat. Wheat that
would have been accorded that mark
ing in the past will be thrown into
the sample grade in the future, and
most of the grain IN this section of
the state belongs in that grade this
year, say the grain men. Difficulty
arose last season through the presence
of wild oats, king heads and cookie
in wheat. Baking tests were made
to determine the percentage Of foreign
substances that could be contained in
wheat without injury to the quality
of the -four, 1t was decided that the
grade of any wheat carrying over that
percentage should be lowered.
While the yield and quality of
wheat grown in the vicinity of Nor
ris this year is uniformly poor, some
very nice yields and qualities are re-
ported as threshing progresses. In
the country north of Morris grain is
very rood by comparison with other
parts. In the Alberta country eight,
ten and twelve bushels per acre is
reported, with the weight running
about fifty-fve pounds per buahel.

Potato Prices Fail

Potato prices which have been
the highest for years all over Mimi
esota began topping at the potato
markets in Cambridge and Wadena
last week where thousands of bushels
were dumped into cars for the twin
city commission men eager to get
them before consumers discovered the
falling prices. Quotations started at
IS and 80 cents per hushel but soon
dropped to IS and 70. Buyers ex-
pect a further decline and by the
end of this week potatoes will be
offered at so cents. Cambridge and
Wadena are the leading potato
centers of the state.
Few if any potatoes have been
rushed to the local market. Buyers
expects the offerings will be gradual
with late potatoes plentiful. A
shortage in the early maturing var
ieties has served to create an
impression that a general potato
scarcity would be on this fall but
this is not the case say the dealers.

WEDDING RECEPTION

Wednesday night, October 25th,
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Morris gave a
wedding reception in honor of
their son, Ammon, and his wife,
Jennie Kartchner> Morris, who
have recently returned from a

joyable evening in singing, re-
citing, step dancing, etc., after
which dainty refreshments OF
cake, punch and apples were
served.
The groom is one Of Safford's
most popular and promising
young men, while the bride is
one of Snowfiake's most accom-
piished young ladies, both being
highly respected by all who know
them.
Their many friends join in
wishing them long life and a
pathway of sunshine and flow
ers.
