MINOT And VICINITY

September 9Th John Kohout was ar
rested near Lankin for the murder of
Frank Bohuslav near Lincoln, Neb..
about a year ago. When brot to the
county Jail at Grafton he admitted
that he killed Bohuslav with rifle,
but claimed the act was done in self
defense. When the sheriff, Gus A..
Ryers, came after Kohout he stated
that indications pointed to the wife of
the murdered man as possessing more
knowledge about the crime than she
should. Now comes the report from
Lincoln that two of the victims sons
have been arrested as accomplices,
and that other members of the family
may also be implicated. The trial of
Kohout will soon occur and it is ex-
pected that he will be convicted of
first degree murder and that the two
boys arrested will be convicted as &C.
complies.
Arthur Pink, young man % years
of age, was killed Friday evening be-
tween and 9 o'clock about 6 miles
southeast of Hoople as the result of
an automobile accident. Pink was
driving the Oscar Davis Ford when
the accident occurred. He attempted
to turn corner at high speed and
something went wrong. The car over
turned. There were two other occu-
pants of the machine, man and wo-
man. Pink and the woman were pin
ned under the car but the other pas
senger was thrown clear. He man
aged to get the woman from under the
machine, but the two of them were
unable to lift the car to free Pink, who
was pinned to the ground, the edge
of the seat being across his neck. He
choked to death before assistance
could be secured. The unfortunate
man had been working on the Davis
farm month. He is unmarried and
his remains were shipped to his former
home at Springfield, ILL.,, last week.
The government lot sale at Sanish
will take place on Nov. 18th and con-
tinue until the lands in the city limits
are exhausted.
Don't get smart because you are
handsome, for a dose Of chicken-pox
might make your face as speckled as
flock of Plymouth Rocks. Don't get
stuck on your complexion - color's
mere reflected light-yu're as black as
any negro in the middle of the night
Don't get brash because you're hearty
for perchance you'll overeat, and will
have jaundiced liver and a pair of
equity feet. Don't get proud about
your wardrobe, for the seasons get
ting late, and before the winters over
you'll perhaps be out Of date. Don't
get flip because you're brainy; one
good tap across your block would
knock your head as empty as an old,
discarded sock. Don't get pulled be-
cause your veins are filled with blue
ancestral juice, for you nexer know
, the minute you'll hit the calaboose.
Don't get raw because you're wealthy,
for one simple little slip may start
you walking backward on your last
financial trip. Don't get sure about
your office, for elections coming soon
and oftentimes in politics, the sun
goes down at noon. Don't be certain
of your sweetheart till the preachers
say "amen;" And then It's we'll to ask
him to repeat it once again! Don't
rest too "comfy" any place along life's
weary tract; then you won't be disap-
pointed when you're sprawling on
your back!
