DETECTIVE" May Be
:. IN SERIOUS TROUBLE
FORMER MINOT OPERATIVE SAID
TO HAVE CAUSED FAMILY
TROUBLE AT DEVILS LAKE -
HUSBAND LAYS MATTER BE-
FORE STATES ATTORNEY.

According to the Devils Lake Jour.
nal, Roger L. Lewis, alias Robert Lutz
former Superior, Wis, detective, con.
victed recently on the charge of kid
mapping, and liable to sentence OF
from five to twenty years in the peni-
tentiary, faces the possible additional
charges of attempted seduction and
home breaking. .
That Lewis made advances toward
his wife, writing her notes; that he
lured her away from her home at Dev-
lis Lake Tuesday for a cutter ride
and later in the day met her at the G.
N. station, where he gave her SIS and
later phoned her when she reached
Rugby, is the story told today by a
Devils Lake husband.
The young wife. was followed to
Rugby by her husband. At Rugby the
woman returned to her senses and ac-
companied her husband home. Notes
which the man wrote, who signed him
self Lewis, and received by the wife,
are in the hands of the husband. The
whole. matter has been laid before the
states attorney.
This is evidently the same "detec-
tive" who operated in Minot.

N|N0T PEOPLE IN
ROYAL SOCIETY
MIR. AND MRS. JAMES JOHNSON
ENTERTAINED BY HONOLULU
PRINCESS-WERE PROMINENT
HOUSE GUESTS.

The Independent has received a
copy of the Pacific Commercial Ad-
vertiser under date of Jan. 26. telling
OF the splendid entertainments given

their recent visit to Honolulu:
princess Theresa Wilcox-Bellievieu
has as house guests Mr.. and Mrs.
James johnson and Mr.. and Mrs. w.
II. Mueller. Mr.. Mueller is mayor of
St. Peter, Minnesota, and Mr.. johnson
is the ex-state's attorney of Ward
county, North Dakota. Yesterday was
spent by the princess and her guests.
IN calling on the governor and mayor
and a trip around the island by auto
mobile. Lunch was eaten at the Hotel
Aubrey and the journey continued af-
ter a rest of couple of hours. The
guests of the princess are being urg-
ed by their hostess to remain over for
the Carnival The men Of the party
are old friends of the former delegate
to congress, Robert w. Wilcox"
From the above, it will be seen that
the "man from Burlington" has been
mixing with the powers that be. They
were guests at native party where
the best people of Honolulu gathered
to witness the christening of a baby.
A feast of native foods was served
and the former Royal dancers per
formed for the occasion. Mr.. and Mrs.

MINOT ATTORNEY BEGINS CAM
PAIGN WHICH PROMISES TO
BECOME SOMEWHAT STRENU-
GUS.

F. B. Lambert, prominent Minot
attorney, has announced his candidacy
for Judge of the Eighth Judicial Dis
trict. This paper some months ago
predicted that Mr.: Lambert would be-
come candidate and this week he has
made his formal announcement

successfully in Minot for the past
eleven years. He served one term in
the legislature from this district and
for seve, al years was president Of the

good man for this community.

PLANS FOR BIG
AUTO SHOW ARE
WELL UNDER WAY
NEW YORK AUTO SHOW WILL
NOT HAVE ANYTHING OVER
THE MINOT SHOW - ARMORY
WILL BE TRANSFORMED.

All arrangements are practlcally
completed for the big Northwestern
North Dakota Auto and Motorcycle
Show to be held in the Armory at Mi
not, March 8, 8, 10 and II, and much
of the billing thruout the northwest
ern part of the state has been done,
and already word has been received
from various points that large num-
Der of people are going to attend the
show.
Minot is now considered the center
of the northwestern district of the
state, automatically speaking, and
from the number Of general district
agents now located here there is no
reason why this coming show will not
be thorough success in every way.
The committee having charge of the
event is sparing no expense In making
it the great success predicted. The
Armory will be transformed into a
fairy palace for the occasion, the
whole interior of the edifce being re-
built for the occasion. Several car
loads of material is being used in this
construction, and when the whole
thing is completed the interior will re-
semble a Hindu temple. The whole
structure will be painted ivory white,
which will be fine setting for the
dark painted cars Of various design
that will be shown. The lighting eff
feet will be excellent, all the light
globes being hidden and casting their
softened rays upon the assembled
cars. thus giving them beautiful ap-
pearance, without the glare of ex-
posed lighting.
Several of the district agents are al
ready planning upon calling in all
their sub-agents during the week and
making it gala occasion with BAN
auet as a fitting close. The first esti
mate of cars that will be sold during
the week runs over the 1000 mark,
and it is safe to say that this esti-
mate is low.
The firms participating in the event
are making great plans for the four
days, and many surprises will be
sprung at that time. ..---------.~-,
The booths, as stated, are being con-
structed along the Hindu style of ar
chitecture. They are being built in
sections so that they can be used an
other year. Next year, for instance,
they will be repainted and re-decor-
ated, and with few minor changes
will present an entirely different per-
spective. If large building can be
secured next year all that will be
needful will be to add extra booths to
the equipment, and all visitors will
fail to recognize the booths as those
used this year. This is in the line of
economy, for next year booths can be
sold for less money.
Remember the dates of this great
show-March 8, g, 10 and II. Mary
your calendar so that you will not for
get the occasion.
