FIVE HUNTERS
GAME WARDEN SCOTT GETS
LAW VIOLATORS NEAR
WILLISTON.

Williston, Oct. 15.-State

Bottineau did a wholesale busi-
ness among violators of the

state during the week.
Today a quintet of five Will
liston sportsmen pleaded guilty
before Justice Field to a charge
of hunting ducks before sunrise,
having been caught red-handed
by Warden Scott while hunting
at a duck lake near Zahl. The
offenders were Senator Overson,
John A. Corbett, H. L. Weather
wax, L. A. Mackenroth and R.
H. Allen.
On Thursday Mr.. Scott arres-
ted Robert Bingeman of Wheel
ock and Chas. Gamberling,
Theodore Beeckler and Bill Han
ey, living south of Epping. The
4uartette was brought before
Justice Emberling at Epping,
where they pleaded guilty to
having been fishing with set
nets in the Missouri river.
Immediately following the
disposition Of these cases, the
game warden threw the court
into a turmoil by placing his
honor under arrest on the same
charge. After considerable pro-
testing, Judge Emberling ad-
mitted his guilt. He appeared
before Justice Field of Willis
ton, where he paid his fine and
costs.

GOVERNOR is UPHELD.

Governor Frazer was upheld
by the District Court in a decis-
ion by Judge Cole in the custer
case against President Shaw of
the Minot city commission.
The governor ousted Shaw
some time ago for malfeasance
in office. A writ of prohibition
was asked for by Shaw's attor-
neys, claiming that the COVER
nor had no authority over city
commissioners. The court held
that he did have this authority.
Shaw's attorneys announce
that the case will be appealed to

CONDITIONS OF
SOME FAMILIES
Statement Of Salvation Army investi
cations Made by Adjutant
EilWood.

The following statement concern
ing living conditions among certain
families in Keokuk has been made
by Adjutant General EllWood, officer
in charge of the Salvation army here:
Needy families are numerous In the
city this winter and existing condi-
lions OF many do not give the children
a chance. The Salvation Army have
been helping, but would appreciate
assistance. There are at present in
Keokuk any number Of families, espe-
cially where the mother is the sole
support, which are needy and some
in extreme destitute circumstances,
where there is practically no income
and the mother and children are de-
pendent on charity. Some are barely
in a. state of existence and are living
under the most unsanitary conditions,
the blame Of which Is partially on the
parents or parent, and partially on So
ctety. which allows such conditions to
exist and for which the children are
the sufferers, inasmuch as they grow
ND in such environments, are unedu-
Gated and have not chance to help
themselves in later life.
For instance, here are some rather
interesting cases in the city, which
no doubt could be duplicated many
times. and have been investigated by
Adiutant Ellwood, officer in charge.
A family, a mother and four children
are existing in one room. 10x12, in
which there is a small stove, one

fauture, Little pointed out, are many,
largely because Of the specialized
equipment required. He said private
concerns which took rifle orders for
European countries at the outset Of
the war lost money and were una BILE
to deliver in quantity for two years
because they were not equip ed to
make the specialized army rifles. He
advocated the transformation of the
Rock Island (Illinois) arsenal into an
enormous government rifle plant.
Factories now manufacturing NUM-
lions for the allies, Little said, would
be unable to throw their aid quickly
to this government in case of war
because the United States munitions
differ in essential details from those
of any other country. The time re-
CURED for adaptation would range
from thirty days to two years, he
said. with the average well over one
year.

To Overcome Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 25c Ex-
ira large bottle, $l.O0. Healing begins
the moment zemo is applied. In short
time usually every trace of eczema, tet-
ter, pimples, rash, black heads and sim
liar skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making It
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.
