MANY BAD MEN
NOW in STATE
Police are not Surprised at
Moorhead Crime-D Depart
ment Working over Time.

The announcement that George
Sheffield, an employee of the Great
Northern depot at Moorhead was shot
and instantly killed early this morn
ing by two hold-up men, brought no
surprise to Grand Forks police, ac-
cording to Chief of Police J. W. Lowe.
Chief Lowe is authority for the
statement that there are more bad
men" in the northwest and particu-
larly North Dakota, at present than
there has been for years, n partic-
ular vigilance Is necessary on the part
of authorities. The police force is
working over time in an effort to keep
the city clear of undesirables and
each day many men are bounded from
the city.
That there have been so few crimes
committed is the only surprise in To-
cal police circles but every possible
precaution is being taken to prevent
an outbreak of crime in this district
North Dakota appears to have become
the clearing house for undesirables
and it is reported that there are more
men of doubtful character in this sec
ton than there has been for years.
The records of the Grand Forks po-
lice department for the last month
are III udTI1lONy Will IIlS IcpOIt. MUTE
men have been brought up for drunk
enness and disorderly' conduct during
the past six weeks than nave appear
ed in court here for many months.
The majority Of men brought into
court are Immediately ushered out of
the city and instructed not to return.
Many petty robberies have been re-
ported but so far this city has been
fortunate in. escaping from the inva-
sion Of the professional thieves, who
do not larry long within the city linn

SHERIFF BACK
WITH PRISONER
Trip from Omaha to Grand
Forks Made in Ford Ma
chine in 21A Days.

From Omaha, Neb., to Grand Forks
in two days and a half time was h
record made by Sheriff A. F. Turner
who arrived home last evening with
e. J. Brooks, wanted here for the
theft of the machine from c. G. Hud-
SOL of Reynolds. 49,
Together with his prisoner, Sheriff
Turner left Omaha in the stolen car
on Sunday noon. Brooks admitted
stealing the Ford machine from his
city and made no protest to being
brought back here. He was a former
Ford mechanic and at one time was
employed in Fargo. His knowledge of
the machine which he was driving
proved convenient and record time
was made.
Brooks claimed that while in Grand
Forks last week, he was ordered to
get out Of the road or be run over
by several men in a Ford machine.
The command angered him and he
watched the driver park h machine
on North Fourth street. He i'm
mediately. took possession of h ma
chine, but claimed that at the time
that he had no idea of stealing it. He
could not explain what prompted him
to make away with it. At Omaha he
sold h car but the police Of that city
recovered it.
The trip back to Grand Forks was
marked by repeated p%unctures and
blow-outs and n spring was broken
Brooks lost little time in making the
changes and the car was brought into
Grand Forks in excellent shape.
This morning Brooks was taken be
fore Justice of the Peace Phil Nc
Loughlin and his hearing was con
tinued until mex Saturday Afternoon
at 2 o'clock.

TUBERCULOSIS
MAP DISPLAYED
N. D. Public Health Service
Makes Interesting Exhib-
it at Red Cross.
Represents 1850 Cases Re.
ported to Laboratory
1877 in This City.

An interesting map, showing the
distribution of tuberculosis cases in
North Dakota, was placed on display
in the window of the Red Cross head
quarters today. The map was pre-
pared by the Public Health service Of
the state university for display at the
meeting of the Federated Women's
Clubs in Dickinson. It represents the
cases diagnosed at the Public Health
Laboratory.
For every case diagnosed at the
laboratory, there is a tack on the map.
The map contains a total of 1,76O
tacks, but it is known that there are
over 5000 cases in North Dakota.
The difference is due to the fact that
a number Of cities have not reported
their cases to the laboratory, while In
other cities only a part of the doctors
have sent specimens to the laboratory.
Grand Forks is represented with
1877 cases, the largest number shown
on the map. This is due to the fact
that all of the cases in this city have
been diagnosed at the laboratory and
authorities know just what the tuber-
culosis situation is. Fargo cases are
not all represented, for the branch
Laboratory in thai city has been in op-
Grafton but a year.
Miss Mabel Fodness, R. NJ, who is
field investigator in tuberculosis fol

new MACHINES
FOR STREETS
and Scarifer to be
Purchased-To be Used
on Dirt Thoroughfares.

At a meeting of the streets and al
leys committee of the Grand Forks
city council held yesterday afternoon
at the city hall, the matter of pur-
chasing machinery to aid In the i'm
provement of local streets was dis
cussed and arrangements were made
to purchase a scraper, scarifer n
traction engine.
The condition Of many streets in
the outskirts Of the city necessitates
the purchase of machinery that will
adequately place these thoroughfares
in good condition. The scarifier will
be used to teal up the ruts while the
scraper will properly grade the roads.
An appropriation Of $4,000 has been
made by the city for the purchasing
of the machines. 1t has not been de-
cided as to what kind of a traction
engine will be purchased for the
street department.

MINSTREL SHOW
MAKES BIG HIT
Packed House Greets Ma
tional Guardsmen-Many
Remain for Dance.

Packing the auditorium to the
doors, Grand Forks residents showed
their interest in the National Guards
men stationed here when they en-
Enthusiastically received the home tall
ent minstrel show presented by Com
pany NJ last evening. From the hoist
ing Of the curtain until the grand
finale, witticisms, songs, tableaux and
speciality numbers kept h audience
in an appreciative mood. The dance
following the entertainment was
equally as attractive and the music
furnished throughout the evening by
Peters orchestra played no little part
in making the events successful.
The minstrel and dance were given
by the guardsmen al an expression
Of appreciation to the citizens of
Grand Forks and if the enthusiasm
displayed is indicative Of success,
those who were in attendance were
amply repaid for their efforts in be-
half of the soldiers:
The program was featured by the
grand finale, 1.-The Red, White and
Blue" tableau in which Miss Violet
Temperance as Columbia played the
leading role and supported by repre-
s~entatives IF the army and navy.
OF the vocal numbers, America,
Here's My Boy" sung by Frank Dug
gan n supported by q chorus n
Joan of Arc" by William Edwards,
stood out as favorites with the audi
ence Every other vocal number was
we'll received, and ice We're de-
manded repeatedly.
Sam CARRIER, n Of the company
comedians, got away strong with The
Swedish Minister and his sermon on
gambling, in which the gentler sex
was admonished, brought down the
house. Side hits in which local men
and company members were the
goats were also clever.
The success of the minstrel is large
~ due to the efforts OF Cleary Mon
ley, who has been coaching the am
ateur thespians for the past several
weeks. Monley proved his ability as
director by picking Sam CARRIER and
Jim Binning for ends with Nose Ros-
ensweig. Ralph Young, Leslie Trotter.
Carl johnson, Ray Wynne and Max
Raines supporting. Fifty Of the COM
pany's best vocalists made up the
chorus. AS interlocutor, Gerald Mon

lection.
