Grill landed in the clutches of the
federal authorities at Williston and
will likely serve a stiff sentence in
the Leavenworth federal peniten-
tiary. McCrill is charged with i'm
porting liquor into the state in vio-
lation of the federal law. He was
caught with the gouus on him. He
purchased the supply at Mondak.
Mont, and purchased ticket over
the Great Northern from that place
to Minot. He was peing spotted at
the time, and was seen to board the
train carrying the grips which con-
tanned the. liquor. He stepped
from the train at Williston, and the
crime having been completed, he
was arrested at that point. He had
six gallons of alcohol and forty
pints of whiskey at the time.
Arrested with him was James
Rudd, a young man of this city
who was assisting In carrying the
grips containing the liquor. Wheth-
er the charge against Rudd will be
pressed is not known. It may be
possible that he was only tool OF
McGrill, and has fallen into evil
ways by frequenting the dive which
McCrill has been operating in this
city. William Feenan was arrest.

same time and on the same charge
All the gang are In jail at Willis

Judge G. F. Amidon is no trifle'

The defiance with which McCrill
violates the law will not help the
culprit when he comes before the
federal court. II ne gets the long
est term the law provides, 1t will>be
a blessing to Minot.

FARMERS WARNED
OF OATS FRAUD

The Minnesota Crop Improvement
association has received word Of a
seed salesman operating in south
eastern Minnesota who is offering
farmers seed of a new kind of oats
that will not lodge" The man
is said to have persuaded not a few
farmers to buy at exorbitant prices.
C. P. Bull, secretary of the crop i'm
provement association warns the
public against such trafflckers.
The most fascinating thing about
the deal 10 the price, SO per bushel,
and the contract plainly states that
the verbal statements of agents
are not to. be relied upon. Every
one knows that there 10 no such
thing as variety of oats that will
not lodge. when planted On rich or
heavy soil. and when market oats
are selling for from SO t., 60 cents
there should be a good profit in
selling at SO.
II the people would only realize
that the experiment station could
and would give valuable advice in
regard to fake varieties, there
would be fewer agents getting rich.

Kimball Keeping, + rmer principal
Of the Mayville school and gradu-
ate of the Mayville mol NAL, who is
dead as result Of injuries sustain
ed under shell fire on the French
fl ont, where he was serving with a
McGill battery. Keeping has three
brothers and sister in the fight.
Writing to friends here a few
days before he met his fate, he
said: II hope the war will be over
soon, but if L, by lifting my hand;
could stop it, would not do so un-
til the German menace is removed
and right has triumphed. A peace
at present would be wicked. I
don't want to see Germany hope

Writing of his death, a brother
says: "Kimball was conscious un-
til the last and seemed willing to
make the supreme sacrifice for a

after members on the registration
board and friends in the neighborhood

Kama is about 25 years Of age, the

thinks ALIENS

Attorney Huber Says Such a
Move Would Add | 900, 600
Men to Allies Rolls

That friendly aliens in Hawaii who
are between the ages Of Il and 81
may, sometime in the future, be turn
ed over to their respective govern
ments for military service, Is one OF
the theories drawn by local federal
officials from news which has reach
ed Honolulu to the effect that legisla
ton along this line is being planned
Tor introduction in congress-
IF such legislation should be enact
ed, and all friendly aliens IN the
United States we're turned back TO the
countries to which they owe alieg1-
ance." says District Attorney 5. 1.
Huber, 1T would mean that million
men would be added to the fighting
forces Of the Allies"
Attorney Huber points out that, IN
his opinion, one OF the main reasons
for compelling men Of all nationalities,
whether citizens or not, TO register
for military service was to aid IN
checking up on the actual number OF
aliens in the United States subject to
military duty in their respective
countries. by luIS plONCNNiS e. Nv -" -
countries fighting with the Allies
Great Britain, Canada, Australia
France. Italy and others-would be IN
a position to tell the number OF men
in the United States they could call
upon to help swell the ranks OF thelr
armies.
81 have little doubt that the
United States would comply with re
quest Of an allied country to turn over
the natives Of that country now In the
Unied States" said Attorney Huber.
Unmarried natives OF Great Britain
now resident in Hawaii have been re
ouested to volunteer for service In the
homeland, and thus far a large mum
Der have responded to the call. Brit
ish Consul e. L. 8. Gordon remarked
some time ago that he did not believe
any Britishers in Hawaii would be
drafted into the army. 1t is likely that
married natives of Britain will be
asked to volunteer as soon as the local
British club makes arrangements fol
the support Of their dependents.
