inc in St. Cloud when he sold $500
worth of the coppers to local bank.
Wolters had been saving pennies
for several years, with the intention
of buying an automobile. Friends told
the bank of his savings and messen-
gers were sent over to negotiate for
the purchase of the pennies.
VOTERS agreed to sell on condition
that he did not have to count them.
The bank messengers counted out the
10000 coppers and carried them back

Father Pleaded Guilty to Incest and
Was ParOled

George T. Price who entered a plea
of not guilty when arraigned on a
charge of incest, changed his plea to
that of guilty of assault with an at
tempt to commit rape, the victim be-
ing his sixteen-year-old daughter. He
was sentenced to serve IL years in
the state penitentiary, but on account
of his failing health and the fact that
he has a family depending upon him
for support, the man was paroled.
Price is a coal HEAVIER so years old
and apparently is not very bright.
He was tried before on a similar
charge and found not guilty, the
daughter refusing to testify when the
case came to trial.

Lambert Given $271 Verdict.

Attorney F. B. Lambert, who brot
suit in district court for $4,000, grow
ing out of the purchase of a Mitchell
car some years ago, was awarded $271
damages, or just half the amount of
the money he has expended for re-
pairs for the machine since he has
owned it. 1t appears that he bought
the car for S14O0, giving farm and
a note to that value. He wasn't very
successful in running the car and
spent almost as much money fixing it
as new car would have cost. He
still has the car but says he has never
been able to run it for longer dis
lance that fifteen miles without a
break down.
The case was not without it humor-
GUS features, the cross examination
