REFORM SCHOOL

Two girl inmates of the state re-
form school at Mandan, Miss Eva
Hoffman, 16 years old. of Dickin-
son, and Miss Bertha Boersner, 16
years old, of Minot, pried their way
out of the reform school dormitory
at an early hour one morning last
week, crawled into an open box car
and escaped.
While the reform school officials
were endeavoring to locate the es-
capped inmates, telephone call from
the yardmaster at Hebron stated
that the two girls had been. found
in box.c car. Superintendent J. M:
Devine left immediatel. for Hebron
to identify the young women and re-
turn them to the reform school.
Their escape was not known un-
til in the morning. When they did
not appear for the morning meal:
investigation disclosed the fact that
their dormitory door had been pried
open and the girls were missing.
It was at first thought that they had
escaped in an automobile, but the
telephone message from Hebron
soon explained how they had MADE
their departure from Mandan.

TO TAKE
LONG NEEDED REST

Her large class In music in Bow
bells and vicinity will learn with
considerable regret that Mrs. Ed.
Drinkwater is compelled to discon-
tinue instructing her pupils for the
present on account of some trouble
she Is having with her eyes. She
has been advised to give her eyes
complete rest for some time, and Is
compelled to give up much of her
musical work She intends to con-
tinue playing in the orchestra the
same as in the past. but must give
UP her giving Instructions. There
is no work that Mrs. Drinkwater
would rather do than teach music,
she always took a great interest in
each individual pupil, and took a
great pride in the rapidity with
which the children forged ahead.
The parents of the pupils could not
help but notice how fast the young
sters were learning, and they, too.
will be sorry to learn that she will
not teach any more for the present,
but hope that the condition of her
eyes improves to such an extent be-
fore much more time passes so she
will be able to continue the work.
Arrangements have been made for
Miss Hanson. the music teacher Of
Kenmare, to take care of Mrs.
Drinkwater's pupils. and she is ex-
pected here next week to arrange
for meeting the children. She ls
highly recommended, and we are
advised that our people need not
hesitate in employing her.

LAW VIOLATION At
HOME GUARD SHOOT

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 30.-Atty.
Gen. william S. LANCER is begin.
ming to hear from sportsmen an
over the state who resent his IN
structions to deputy game wardens
for the arrest of city gunners found
shooting birds on Sunday. AND
now. from Cass county, comes an
even more puzzling question:
Cass has home guard rifle com.
pany which has made a practice OF
utilizing its target range on Sunday
the only day in the week when all
of the members can get together:
A strickler for strict observance OF
Sunday laws insists that the attor-
ney general stop this practice. The
home guard units do considerable
shooting on the Sabbath. and the
laws which the attorney general
has sworn to enforce specifically
prohibit shooting on Sunday.
I The buck has been passed tenn
porarily to States Attorney Fowler
of Cass county, or at least the pro-
testant has been advised to file a
complaint with him.

IS SENTENCED TO
SERVE FIVE YEARS

Fargo, N. D.. Aug. 30.-Violation
of the federal law resulted in a SEN
tence of five years in the federal
penitentiary at Leavenworth being
imposed On William Behrbaum,
cashier of the FIRST National bank
at New Salem, N. D., who pleaded
guilty to the charge of embezzling
$500 in federal court here Thurs
day.
The man is just 26 years old and
was bitten by the speculation bug.
He invested heavily In futures and
to make up the losses used the
funds of the bank. The case was
brought to the attention of the fed
eral grand jury here recently with
the result that the young cashier
was indicted on sixteen counts.
Learning Of the indictment, he sur
rendered himself to the federal Of
ficers in Fargo was placed under
bond and on Thursday came to
Fargo to make his plea.
The scene was one of the most
dramatic in the federal court of
this district. Through. his father
it was learned that he was advanced
to the position of trust through the
influence of the wife of the presi-
dent Of the First National bank at
New Salem, and who had been his
teacher during his high school
training. He became engaged to
marry a New Salem girl. Fortune
was favoring him and he was maxi
ing good until he started losing on
the board of trade. Check after
check was issued to make up his
losses. Then one day national
bank examiner visited the fhstitu-
ton. The matter was brought to
the attention OF United States Dis
trict Attorney M. A. Hildreth.
Judge Charles F. Amidon of the
federal court, declared on sentenc-
ing the young man that he was not
a crook
"He has already passed through
his Golgotha," he said. 1.-THE social
order which sends him to long
prison term is a mistake. He has
learned his lesson"

Bowbens, Dakota, Friday, August 81, 1917

running with business for the past
several years as result of the
great war, it has never reached the
proportions that I found it On this
trip" he says. with the enorm-
GUS demand for manufactured pro-
ducts of all descriptions, as result
of this country's entrance into the
war, and the consequent shortage Of
all kinds of raw materials, I found
buying on this trip the most diff
cult / have ever experienced. Man.
ufacturers in numberless cases have
been practically comandeered to
the service of the government and
with cotton the highest it has ever
been in the history of the country
and wool at unhearo of prices, and
with shipping facilities badly tied
up, I found the manufacturers were
having their own troubles as we'll as
we in the northwest.
"The only effect, however, find
this will have on merchandising in
the northwest this season, will be
a small raise In the price of mater
ials in the garments, and little
less variety in styles. The mater
ials that are going into goods placed
on the markets this fall were con-
tracted for some time ago and the
increase In the Manufactured ar
ticle will not be felt so much this
season as I believe it will next year.
If present conditions maintain I can
not see anything but higher prices
ahead. In the interests of conser-
vation the government has in a
way become the style dictator, and
its influence will be felt in this re-
spect in all lines of manufactured
goods, especially. Of course, in lad
les ready to wear"
Regarding his purchases for the
fall business Mr.. Knudson stated
that by visiting large number of
manufacturers in different cities he
was able to secure very satisfac-
tory assortment pf garments, and as
result the offerings at the Ken
mare Cash Store this season would
be even better than for the past
seasons. He also states. that by
reason Of heavy purchases of piece
goods. early in the year before the
new prices became effective, he
would this fall be in position to
offer the staple weaves at prices
that would average considerably
lower than wholesalers are now
asking. This applies especially to
such as ginghanls, percales and all
staple domestics
The regular fell opening, which
has for the past several seasons be-
come the leading style show in this
territory will again be featured at
the Kenmare Cash, Store The
hates5 have hot been arranged@ as
vet, bit. will come some time early
in September. In the meantime
the new goods are being received
daily, and preparations are going
forward for the display of the larg-
est and most complete line of lad
les suits, coats, dresses. hats, etc.,
ever brought to the city.

AUTO LIGHTS TO
Be INVESTIGATED

1t is possible number of auto
mobile owners In this city will get
into trouble over the use Of the
binding lights which are still used
on a number of machines in VIOLA
ton of the law. The law prohibits
the use of glaring headlights and it
also requires that all lights shall be
lowered so that the light beams are
not more than thirty-two inches
above the ground at distance OF
rs feet in front Of the machine.
Both Of these provisions are being
violated by auto drivers and owners
about the city. A special agent
either is or soon will be working In
this section Of the state to catch the
vtolators of the lazy, and it is re-
ported that those who are detected
violating the statute will be pun
ished just as severely for the first
offense as though he were an old
offender.

Col. e. C. Mahoney and VIM.
Shockley, both of Muncie, Ind, ar
rived here on Friday morning of
last week to look after their farms
in. this vicinity and also shake
hands with their many friends here.
Both at one time were residents
here. and still own considerable
land near this city. The old colonel
may cry few sales before he goes
back. and may buy another farm or
two. while Mr.. Shockley will not
leave until he gets a few covies Ct
chickens with his shot gun and gets
enough fora big meal for both him
self and the colonel. Since arriv-
ing here both gentlemen have been
keeping themselves busy at shock
ino and stacking, but after thresh>
Ing is completed they expect to
