months in the county Jail. being free

After his arrest in st. Paul. Chief Of
Police Troyer and Deputy Sheriff
Fred Kraemer went to st. Paul with
extradition papers for Shannon but 1t

to get possession of their prisoner. He
had friends. money and attorneys and
put up a hard fight to keep from being
brought to North Dakota and almost
succeeded.
Tried to Escape.
After being brought here and he
was shown what the evidence against
him was, Shannon agreed to plead
guilty but kept stalling off the ordeal
from time to time, and it is believed
by the officers that this was done IN
order to give him time to make his
escape from the Cass county Jail.
It is known that he made one and
possibly two attempts to make a get
away, once nearly succeeding when
left for a moment in the corridor he
dashed into the main entry and
slipped through a transom to liberty,
He had a short start of the jailer but
In hurry1nR down the steps fell and
hurt one Of his legs He was on this
occasion caught within block of the
jail.
After that he was watched more
closely and only a month or so ago,
while the Jail was being given the
usual Sunday search, keys were
found in an old coat belonging to a
prisoner by the name Of Wing that
would unlock every door to liberty.
Wing and the other prisoners in tho
Jail at the time, with the exception Of
Shannon, were in only on minor mis-
demeanors and not Of the class Of
prisoners who could be able to make
keys from spoons with only the aid
Of an old safety razor blade and a
pair Of shears and the evidence
strongly pointed to Shannon as the
artisan.
After this incident Shannon was
watched more closely than ever by
Sheriff John Ross and his assistants,
but still Shannon stalled off making
his plea, undoubtedly under the be-
lief that other opportunities would
present themselves. He is now await
ing the arrival Of q guard from the
penitentiary to take him to the Bis
marck house of correction.

PLAN TO

IN COURT
School Troubles of Wild
Rice District Brought
Before Pollock

AS the result of a school scrap in
school district No. 40, at Wild Rice,
this county a writ Of mandamus was
issued this morning by Judge Charles
A. Pollock, returnable Saturday. at
which time Alfred Brunette. a director
Of the school district must show
cause why he shall not turn over to
the other two directors of the school
the keys, books and other school
property.
The school district in question is
inhabited almost exclusively by
French citizens. the controversy aris-
ing over the question of whether thu
school shall be moved from its pres
ent location to a parochial school a
mile distant. This matter was brought
up at a recent special election in the
district at which the people voted 21
to 3 to have the school moved.
It seems that two Of the directors
of the school, Fred Pronovost and O..
Cosette, are in favor Of the school
being moved, and have wanted to fol-
low out the will of the people of the
district. but Brunette has other ideas
and refuses to relinquish the proper
ty in his possession to the other two
directors. in order that the move can
two directors in favor Of the change
brought action against the third men,
ber Of the board.
It seems that Brunette runs a
store close to the present location of
the school in the town Of Wild Rice
and had charge of the school property.
The questions brought out at the
hearing will be most interesting. One
will be whether one director can
stand in the way Of the will Of the
voters of a district, and another will
be whether state school property can
be taken to a sectarian school re-
gardless Of the fact that practically
every resident of the district is in
favor Of such parochial school.

credit for originating the. idea Of the
training school for motor car sales
men. Mr.. Chalmers had a success
full school as long ago as 1908, and
1t has been the custom of the Chal-
mers Motor Company to begin the
education of Chalmers salesman by
having him spend a few days in and
around the factory before beginning
work with a dealer. Mr.. Chalmers
idea Is now being crystallized into
more definite form by the newly or
ganized Sales Promotion Department
OF the company.
A training school along very thor
ough and complete lines is to be or
sanized on October 2. Sessions Of
the school will be held three times a
