H. H. Kemper, formerly president
his attorneys, Halvor L. Halvorson
tion in the district court of Ward coun-
ty, for $4,000, against Peter Ehr,
the present president of the bank. The
alleged grounds for damage are two
arrests of the plaintiff in the damage
case, at the instigation of the defend
ant, as he alleges, charging him with
embezzlement. kemper was acquitted
of both charges when the case came
to trial in the district court some time
ago.
The plaintiff alleges that he was
wrongfu1lv detained by an officer in
Minneapolis, being deprived of his lib
erty a long time; that he was incar-
cerated in Jail for thirty hours and
was afterwards brot to Minot in
charge of the sheriff of Ward county.
He alleges that he was harrassed, vex-
ed and injured and was injured and
damaged both physically and mental
ly and was exposed to great shame,
humiliation and disgrace.
Peter Ehr, the defendant in the ac-
ton, is one of the best known citizens
in Ward county and one of the strong
est financially. He has employed Brad
ford & Nash to defend him. While
Mr.. Ehr does not believe in trying his
case in the newspapers, he states that
he is certain that when the case comes
to trial, he will be able to show up
some features that he was unable to
show at the former trial, by reason of
Mr.. Kemper's being kept off the wit
ness stand. The result of the action
will be watched with considerable in

STATE THRESHERNAN
:: =. WILL ORGANIZE
-
WARD COUNTY THRESHERMEN
START BALL ROLLING FOR A
STATEWIDE MOVEMENT -
FINE BANQUET HELD.

Forty-seven sat down to a fine BAN
quet given by the Ward County
Threshermen's Association at the P.
and L. Cafeteria this evening.
Ward county has the distinction of
having the only threshermen's organ
ization in North Dakota and at the
meeting this evening a committee
composed of John NJ Robe, John Un-
derdahl and w. G. Hancock was ap-
pointed to take steps towards forming
state threshermen's organization.
After the banquet, an interesting
program of toasts was given, VIM.
Stevens, of the firm Of Hancock &
Stevens, Rumely dealers, acting as
postmaster. Among those who spoke
were Atty. Sibbald, August Hanson,
of Fargo, manager Of the Case Co. for
North Dakota; Napoleon LaFleur, NJ.
Korsland and County Commissioner
Robe of Kenmare; Marius Erickson,
manager of the Minot branch Of the
Case Co.; Mike Donovan of Williston;
A. M. Johnson and w. c. Hancock of
this city.
The threshermen in organizing,
have for their aim mutual benefit for
themselves and farmers in coping with
the riff-raff labor. They hope to es-
tablish uniform prices thruout the
state and add dignity to the business
in general.
Percy Hancock, son of W. G. Han
cock, delighted the audience with sew
eral solos. The young man has fine
voice. Musical numbers were given

learn, rapidly gaining strength and
is expected to return from Rochester,
Minn., the latter part Of the week.
Fred Willman was a visitor during
the week, arranging for the prelimi-
nary work in connection with the ex-
tensive improvements contemplated
on his farm lands just east of town.
Misfortunes, we are told, seldom
come singlV, and the truth of this
adage is emphasized by news of a
painful accident which recently befell
Mrs. H. C. Kuchenbecker. While in
Minot, submitting to course of
treatment, she had the misfortune to
fall on slippery sidewalk and
twist her wrist, and suffer severe
shakeup. The good lady is progress
ing favorably, however.
Olaf Lokensgard, our popular COM
missioner, was a business visitor on
Wednesday.
Miss Cora Mackie from Minot and
Mrs. Clarence Mackie's sister from
Dubuque, Iowa, are enjoying pleas
ing visit on S. prairie.
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Sillman were be-
tween train visitors to the Wonder
City on Thursday and Friday.
Mrs. Gus. Silman of S. Prairie, was
among those who took in the great
Auto Show during the week.
Martin Skov has given a practical
demonstration of what Ford will ac-
complish on North Dakota roads dur
ing the worst winter months, being an
almost daily visitor to our interesting
town, where he has host of friends.
Fremont Cook, of Holstein fame,
has been sadly under the weather Of
late and is still patiently submitting
to medical experiment. Fremont is
busy man at all seasons, and his
farm is among the best examples Of
successful diversifcation.
We are glad to note that our good
neighbors at Tasker are making an eff
fort to establish a Farmers elevator.
1t should be useful as landmark, to
determine just where Tasker is.
Burlington enjoys the eccentricity
of bachelors club with quite an i'm
posing membership. One respected
but loveless native wandered with in
sufficient escort to the Heavenly
Sphere, hotel accommodation is pain
fully limited at intervals, and the gen
tleman was finally located at an es-
tablishment presided over by a good
lady, who caters especially for the
needs of the sweet daughters of Eve,
who tend the sick and suffering. A
charming nurse is hard to resist; sew
eral will play havoc with bachelors
best resolutions. When those ladies
got wise, Imagination will suggest
what a dainty, delicate, yet deliberate
roasting Burlington's stray bachelor
enjoyed.

Minot with his mother about fourteen
years ago.

TUT several years Nc n0u DeCH oIIl-
ployed by the Western Express Co.,
where he worked his way up by his
faithfulness to his duties and the ex-
treme courtesy he showed all patrons.
He was a member Of Co. D and was
considered one of the best members Of
the organization. Herbert was a
young man exceedingly popular with
his associates. He was honest and in
dustrious and manly in every way. He
is survived by his mother, Mrs. A.
Franklin, a brother, Thomas, employ
ed at the Leland Department Store,
and a sister, Miss Florence, who is at
tending the Normal school.
Short funeral services were held at
Van Fleets undertaking parlors this
afternoon, and the remains were taken
to Grafton, N. D. that afternoon, where
they were buried beside those of his
father.
Last Monday Herbert told a friend
all about the accident. He declared
that he was partially to blame. He
the center of the square where he
made the turn, he would just about
have struck the stake. He declared
CnaC Cne QTlVer OF Cne car was uTlVlHS
in about the center of the street, but
that when he turned to go to the right,
the driver turned to the left, appar-
emily expecting that he would make
the short turn.
Owing to conflicting stories in exist
ence concerning the tragedy, Coroner
Orson Doe and the States Attorney
decided on holding an inquest, which
was begun this afternoon. The jury
consists of ]. A. Roell, Ernie Tomp-
kins and w. E. Mansfield.

BETTER BABY
PROGRAM Was
INTERESTING
PLAYLET BY CHILDREN-SENSI-
BILE TALKS BY DOCTORS
PENCE, MCDANIEL AND HARTL
GOOD MUSICAL NUMBERS.

A large crowd attended the "Better
Baby" program at the Presbyterian
church Monday evening. Rev. P. w.
Erickson, who presided at the meet
ing. complimented the women's clubs,
having the work in charge.
Mrs. E. S. Person, one of Minot's
most talented pipe organists. played
two selections in q manner that was
highly pleasing. Mrs. R. E. Barron,
one Of the city's favorite soloists, sang
two appropriate selections.
The playlet, "Why the germs found
another home," was given by children
under the direction of Miss Eula Mil
Ter. This was one of the most inter-
esting numbers of the program.
DR.. Pence spoke on "Infectious and
Contagious Diseases" saying that
some of the diseases, particularly
measles, are not to be so greatly fear
ed, as the complications that some
times arise. He warned mothers new
er to expose child to contagious di-
sease, thinking the child must take it
sooner or later.
DR.. Hartl spoke on the care of the
mouth. He mentioned the great work
done along pure food lines, but said
that not enough attention was paid to
clean mouths. In New York City an
inspection showed that there were
$500 pupils with decayed teeth and
their efficiency was improved 80 per
cent when their teeth had received at
tention.
Dr.. Archie McCannel said that Bet
ter Baby work really started in Paris
30 years ago when DR.. DuBown insti-
tuted a free consultation for mothers.
He said the keynote of the medical
profession is prevention rather than
cure; that SO per cent of the ear dl.
seases are due to diseased condition Of
the nose and throat. There are over
100000 blind people in the United
states. Ninety per cent Of this blind !.
ness IS due to infant opthalmia, which
could be prevented, and to neglect OF
school children. He condemned sling
shot and air rifles, the: latter being
the worst accidental destroyer Of
sight in existence. He said there
should be law preventing the manu-
facture of the air rifle. s,.s,s, ~,

HERBERT FRANKLIN u 4
DIES FROM INJURIES
WESTERN EXPRESS CO.'S NIGHT
MAN SUFFERED FATAL IN
JURY SUNDAY WHEN HIS MO-
TORCYCLE COLLIDED WITH AN
AUTOMOBILE.

A terrible accident occurred on East
Central avenue at the corner OF
Third street at 4:3O o'clock Sunday
afternoon, resulting in the death Wed
nesday night of Herbert FRANKLIN,
night expressman of the Western Ex-
press Co. Mr.. Franklin was riding
his motorcycle north on Third street
at quite rapid pace and turned to 60
west on Central avenue, when his ma
chine collided with an auto driven by
Mrs. R. N. Allen, who was driving
east on Central avenue in company
with two friends. Mr.. Franklin's left
leg struck the front spring of the car
with such terrific force that the bones
below the knee were crushed to pulp.
He was taken at once to st. Joseph's
hospital, where he was made as COM
Portable as possible. The bones were
set the following day in hopes that the
leg might possibly be saved, but blood
poisoning set in Tuesday and that af-
ternoon the leg was amputated just
below the knee. He was very weak
from the shock, and blood poisoning
setting in, he declined rapidly We'd
nesday. During the afternoon he con-
tinued to fail and several hours before
death, the doctors had given up all
hopes of saving the young mans life.
He passed away at $40 o'clock We'd
nesday evening.
Mrs. Allen states that she was driv-
ing on the right side Of the street at
the rate of about six miles an hour.
On account of the icy condition of the
street, she kept her car towards the
middle of the street. She says the
rider of the motorcycle came around
the corner, taking the short turn and
that she tried to steer her car to the
left in order to let him pass. AS she
did SO, the two machines came to-
gether. She declares that he was
riding at rapid pace. There are sew
eral eye witnesses to substantiate her
story. Mrs. Allen has handled cars
for several years and is regarded as
very cool-headed driver, who is able
to control her machine at all times.
She states that she brot her car to
such a sudden stop that the engine
was killed instantly.
Immediately after the accident hap
pened, Mrs. Allen backed her car out
and carried the injured man to the
hospital. The accident is regretted
by everybody and especially by Mrs.
Allen, who is inconsolable.
Herbert Franklin was born at East
Grand Forks, Nov. q, 1895, coming to

The directors of the Logan Hall as
sociation are to be congratulated on
the successful series of dances recent
ly inaugurated. Cards six-piece Or
chestra has discoursed sweet music in
manner finished, and the management
are deserving of much credit for the
perfect order which has prevailed. The
! floor, which is of hard maple, is in ex-
cellent shape and Logan has reason
to be proud of a record which has
proved beyond question that it is pos
sible to eliminate any and every OBJ
jectionable feature from public
dance.
Mrs. Russell Gard and Mrs. D. E.
| Ross were Sawyer visitors on Wednes-
day last.
The Samaritan Ladies Aid were the
guests of Mrs. Reuben Stredwick' on
Thursday. Many members and friends
enjoyed the hospitality of our pioneer
friends, much useful work was really
accomplished and pleasant visit was
brought to a close by the serving of a
luncheon dainty and delicious.
Mrs. Tilton entertained the men,
bers of the Latter Day Aid from morn
till eve, on Thursday. This proved to
be one Of the most pleasing social
functions of the season.
Miss lola Horning, who has been
spending the wintry months within
the Heavenly sphere, was welcomed on
her return to Logan by host of ad-
miring friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Ross, who are
now resident several miles south Of
Minot, were enjoying the many attrac-
tions of our city on Wednesday.
Miss w. Bean, our popular postmis-
tress, and Mr.. Gale Bean were among
the many who were disappointed by
the non-arrival of the much advertis-
ed Gold car. Hotel accommodation
within the windy city is apt to be
somewhat draughty, whenever any,
thing is doing.
Mr.. Packard of N. prairie, who re-

FOR THE future
STATE FIRE MARSHAL RUNGE
SAYS MINOT SHOULD ADD
EQUIPMENT TO ITS FIRE DE-
PARTMENT - RECOMMENDS A
FIRE HALL FOR NORTH SIDE.

State Fire Marshal A. H. Runge
sent communication to the city COM
mission, urging them to buy addition
al equipment or the fire department.
He refers to the recent Roell- -Blakey
fire and says that the firemen are to
be commended for the good work they
did, considering the equipment.
He says in part: !
"I am surprised that there were not
injuries reported from the Roell- -Blak-
ey fire, as part of the walls were found
to be only four-inch brick with eight
inch hollow tile and yet they will crit
icise chief for failing to save the
building. If building of that size and
character was afire in either st. Paul
or Minneapolis, instead of handful of
men, there would be at least ten en-
CINE companies of nine men each,
three truck companies of eleven men,
a water tower and about one-haf doz-
en- turret nozzles working, all this
equipment under orders Of at least
three chiefs, without the aid of side
walk chiefs.
"This department, knowing the con-
ditions of both your water and fire de-
partments extends it's compliments to
the heads of both for the very efficient
work done on January 18th and would
recommend that each and every re-
quest made to you by Chief O'Leary
be granted. Also that consideration
be given the matter of purchasing a
site on the north side of the Great
Northern tracks and firehall erected.
Also that consideration be given the
installation of high pressure system.
Look into the future and be prepared" !"
