At the request Of the United States
army, the American Red Cross has
lust arranged to install. with all Amer
lean troops 10Y engaged in actually
fighting the Germans, q special ront'
line service. This is a development Of
the front-line canteens through which
the American Red Cross has. during
the past six months, served more than
100000 French poilus with hot drinks
and above all else given a friendly
boost right up in or near the trenches
themselves.
Today the Red Cross has Is rolling
canteens behind the lines. From these
canteens are sent forward daily, often
in the small hours Of the night, 30 or
more large recpetacles containing hot
drinks. These are served free to the
men going on or just coming off duty.
The work has proved itself to be OF
such value to the FSeuch that the
American army has asked the Red
Cross to have this service directly IN
touch with the medical relief stations
nearest the front. The work Is otter
done under heavy shell fire and re-

FARMER WAS JAILED
FOR BEATING HIS Wife
Woman Had Given Birth to Child
1t Is Alleged That He
Clicked Her.

Fairmont, May 16-Albert Minor
well-known farmer of Rutland town
ship, is in the county Jail today
charged with abusing his wife. 1t is
asserted that he has choked and
pounded her since Saturday, when she
gave birth to a child
Minor will be taken before Judge
Fancher, as it is believed that he is
unbalanced. He was examined two
years ago, but at that time Drs. John
son and Richardson were unable to
find that his mind was affected and
gave it as their opinion that an UNI
governable temper was his chief all
ment
Mrs. Minor is the mother of nine
children, all born within twelve OF
fourteen years. She is small and
slight and according to neighbors
frequently has been beaten and
abused.
When Minor was before Judge
Fancher two years ago he lost his
temper and was fined for contempt
Minor has been sleeping with a
loaded revolver under his pillow, ac-
cording to Judge F'ancher.
Should he be found sane, the coun
ty attorney is prepared to bring
charges against him.

AUTO AND STREET CAR
BUMP; FOLKS BRUISED
Collision Occurred On South
Front; Two Girls Are Hurt
Somewhat
From Thursdays Daily.

quay . Sduys
Daniel Barickman, 529 South Front
street, while driving an automobile
at Front nd Byron streets yesterday
afternoon about five o'clock, collided
with a street car Both the automo-
bile and the street car were somewhat
damaged. Mr.. Barickman suffered
some bruises and cuts and his left
knee was injured. Two girls in the
back seat, his daughter, Bessie Barick-
man, and Lura McAllen were thrown
out and bruised.
Mr.. Brakeman was driving his
Buick car southwark on Front street
and turned to go up Byron, his object
being to take the two girls over to
the Christian church, where they
might join the church picnic party that
was to start out for Madison Lake.
On reaching Byron street, Mr.. Bar
ickman found himself confronted with
a danger of running into any one of
several automobiles. This so dis
tracted his attention that he did not
realize the approach of the street car,
which was going north, until it struck
his own car.
The auto almost tipped over. The
motorman, Thurston Thompson stop
ped the car promptly. However the
street car fender and cab were some
what smashed. The front right hand
corner of the auto was badly smashed
in. Mr.. Brakeman kept his place at
the wheel.
Mr. Barickman says the accident
ws due to his own want of care and
he does not blame the motorman.

CASE OF PETERSON
BEFORE HIGH COURT
Question Raised As to Whether
His Name Should Appear
On Ballot
UNITED Press Dispatch.1
From THURSDAYS Daily.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 16.--J. A.
Schmahl, secretary of state, was to
appear before the state supreme
court late today to show cause why
he should not be restrained from
placing the name of j. A. Peterson
on the state ballot, as candidate for
the republican nomination for the
United States senate. Peterson has
been convicted of disloyal writings
and sentenced to Leavenworth peni-
tentary. He has appealed the case.
SchmahPs appearance before the
court is entirely technical point in
law. In refusing to take the name
of Peterson from the state ballot,
he has said that he is not influenced
by personal opinions. His position
is that Peterson had filed as a
candidate before he was indicted and
convicted, that the state of Mimi
esota had accepted 500 filing fee
from Peterson in good faith and that
he could not take off the name at
this time. Schmahl at the same time
refused to accept the filing Of J. o.
Bentall, socialist, as a candidate for
governor, who was convicted before
he attempted to file.
I. The petition to bar Peterson from
the race for United States senator
was made by l.. ]. Eaten, Minneapolis
attorney. The position taken by
Eaton was that Peterson, having
been convicted of felony in the
Tinted States dictrict co,lrt had Lost
his citizenship, was not entitled to
vote for any office and therefore
could not be voted FOR any Office.
