POLICE Chief
MLAW SUIT
Chief Albert Hurst is Defendant
in Complaint Filed by
Peter Barlow.

Peter Barlow, q mason worker OF
East Grand Forks. has nled q COM
plaint in district court before Judge
William Watts Of Crookston against
Chief Of Police Albert Hurst Of this
city. bringing suit to collect damages
for alleged injuries to his character
from an illegal arrest. T. B. Elton OF
Grand Forks has been retained as at
torney for Barlow.
Barlow alleges in an affidavit which
has been placed on file In the ONCE OF
the clerk Of court at Crookston. that
on January 3. he came to East Grand
Forks to visit friends. and while here
was arrested by Chief Hurst, without
telling him Of the reason for the ar
rest.
Alleges Injustice Done.
He also alleges that he was then
thrown into a cell in the local city
Jail, and held there until the next day.
when he was taken out and appeared
before the municipal court. He
claims that no charge was filed
against him, and that no warrant was
Issued. As result he claims that
he was injured in character.
Chief Hurst this morning declared
that Barlow had been arrested on a
charge of vagrancy, and that he was
convicted in the municipal court and
given suspended sentence by Judge
Robert Blair. municipal Judge. He
also asserts that he had good grounds
on which to arrest Barlow. and will
fight the suit il 1t is brought against
him.

stale. The bakeries in the business OF
producing what the people want to

bread, the fresher the better. He
aims to have unsold a. little fresh
bread az possible. for he knows that
II he has any left over no must either
throw it away or sell It at a reduced
price. His customers WIN not buy 1t
at the price of fresh bread.
The facts in this case are Identical
with some Of those pertaining to hour
made from low grade wheat Every
one will concede that stale bread-if
1t Is not too stale-contains all the ele-
ments Of nutrition that are to be
found in the fresh loaf. Many author
tiles on diet maintain that the stale
bread is the more wholesome. Some
people find it more palatable. But
most people, for reasons or whims OF
their own. do not want 1t. Because
they do not want 1t it is not salable
in comparison with the other. Ana,
because It Is relatively unstable 1t Is
not worth as much money to the deals
er. The demand for that which the
people want, whether it be fresh
bread or white -four. establishes a
high price for thst commodity and a
lower price for that which Is not de-
sired, or which is desired by but a
