NO CHANGE
HAS BEEN MADI

Through some unknown news
source came the report that the
State Board of Health had sus-
pended the compulsory vaccina-
tion order, as a result of a re-
port made before the members
of the board by DR.. McGurren,
who is secretary of the Board of
Health, and who, it was stated,
had just returned from a meet
ing of doctors held in Chicago.
Now comes the report from
DR.. McGurren himself that there
is nothing to it, and that COM
pulsory vaccination will continue
to be imposed as heretofore.
just how the report came to
be circulated in the first place
is not known, but now that the
facts are obtained from the Sec
retary himself there can be no
doubt as to the veracity of his
statement and the first report
was probably the work of some
ambitious reporter who figured
on q big scoop"

NOT NECESSARY

The Board of Directors of the
Scandinavian Farmers Mutual
Fire Insurance Co., held a meet
ing at Bottineau Nov. 18th. To-
gether with the directors also
met a large number of agents,
and various questions Z concern
ing the business of the company
were discussed at some length.
After going over the years
business it was found that it
will not be necessary to levy any
assessment this year. The losses
have been very light ana the
company has still in the treas
ury more than 100000.
It was alsb decided to start to
insure automobiles, and any
farmer that wants to insure his
automobile may apply to his
nearest agent. Automobile pol
icies will run for only one year
at a time. The rate will be 40c
per hundred for a new car and
up as the car gets older.

SOAKED HIM
TO THE SKIN

Granville, Nov. 21.-The cit
izens of this place administer
led a dose Of patriotic punishment
to Bernt Folstad, who is accused
Of being disloyal, last night that
will strike terror to the hearts
of those who live in this coun-
try but who are not loyal to the
flag. Folstad is a cobbler and con-
ducts a shoe shop and small
store in this city. Last night a
crowd of one hundred citizens
having pressed into service the
city fire engine, turned a stream
Of water upon the building oc-
cupied by Folstad, breaking in
the windows and thoroughly
soaking the shop and contents
and the owner.
Following the administration
of the punishment, Folstad was
taken to the city hall where in
the presence Of the citizens who
had taught him a lesson in pa
triotism, he was forced to kneel
and kiss the American flag.
Rumors have been rife for
some time that Folstad was dis
loyal and that he was making
utterances which were so un-
Ameican as to be near treason.
The people Of Granville resent
ed these things but not until last
night was there an attempt to
administer punishment to the
man. His case has been report
ed to the federal authorities
and it is likely he will be arrest
ed on the charges for which he
has already been severely pun
,ished.

An elopement case was tried

An elopement case was tried
in Justice Walseth's court Tues
day afternoon.
a young couple, Clifford Smith
and Blanche Page, the boy aged
20 and the girl Is, both residing
near Overly, were the two who
appeared before the court. The
charge lodged against the boy
was kidnapping and he was
bound over to the next term of
the district court, furnishing bail
in the sum Of $500.
The boy and girl attended a
dance at Overly and on return
ing to the boys home after the
dance decided they would run
away and get married. They
drove to Rugby where they reg
istered at q hotel. The girls
father Immediately got on their
trail and caused the arrest Of
both before they had a chance
to leave the hotel. They were
brought back to Bottineau the
following day and the hearing
set for three o'clock in the af-
ternoOn.
The charge Of kidnapping is a
serious one and just what the
outcome of the case will be is
hard to predict as neither the
boy nor the girl is Of age. At
any rate they win no doubt be
convinced that this idea of rum
ming away is no joke.
