Movement For Erection Of
Local Home for Aged
Started in 1915.

- '.Lr.t- . .
On Friday afternoon and evening Of
this week a bazaar will be held in the
parlors of the Zion church for the
benefit of the Society for an Old Peo-
pies Home in Grand Forks. and the
program for the affair has been al
most completed.
In connection with the bazaar, the
history Of the movement to have such
an institution built here was today
told by Mrs. A. A. Western who has
been n of it's leaders from the be-
ginning.
In February two years ago a few
plans for erecting a home for aged,
and as they thought it advisable that
it should be managed under the au-
spices of the churches. several minis
tiers were invited to state their views
in this connection. A meeting was
called and held in. the office of II.
Bendeke & Co.. and attended by Rev.
n. j. Lohre. Rev. A. j. Hulteng, H.
Bendeke. Mrs. L. X. Hassell. Mrs. e.
O.. Paulsness and Mrs. A. A. Western.
A society was organized and d con-
stitution drafted; it was decided that
the name of the organization. should
be the Bethesda Association Of Scan
dinavian Women of Grand Forks, and
Iiidt lHeif ann was 10 nave a nome for
aged people erected here.
At a later meeting, held at the
home of Mrs. e. Q. Paulsness. five
ministers and not a few ladies' were
present and adopted the constitution
as drafted. Mrs. a. Knudson was
elected president; Mrs. II. e.. Thor
crimson. vice president; Mrs. n. j,
Lohre. second vice president; Mrs. A.
A. Western, secretary, and Mrs. A. J,
Hulteng. treasurer.
Later the society organized various
branches all working for the one end
in view. The bazaar this week is given
under h auspices of the Bethesda
branch No. l. and will undoubtedly
be largely attended.

TEN MORE MEN
ARE ENROLLED
The Public Service. Reserve
Makes Good Start in
Grand Forks.

Last night ten more men were en-
rolled in the public service reserve by
the local enrolling agent, G. D.
Holmes. who opened offices in the
basement of the Northern State bank
last Monday. On Monday evening
seven had registered for service, and
eleven others had enrolled before the
opening of the Office, making a total
at this time Of %.
The office will be open from 1880
until $3.50 Friday and Saturday even
ings of this week, and those who de-
sire to enroll after that time can do
so by applying to Mr.. Holmes.
1t appears that several men who
are DESTROYS of aiding the country, but
who have been rejected for military
service because of physical disability,
show ar encouraging willingness to
enroll in the reserve and place them
selves at the disposal of firms that
have war contracts for the United
States government.

II swear that l did not tell Harvey
Wolfe l was going to get some money
from Berthusen; l am an honest nan
and we We all got to die some time"
MIR. Elton pressed the question:
Didn't o say that you were 60
ing to burn hat barn?"
Emphatically the defendant an
swered; e.
not crazy
a Distinction Of Words.
Being further crOSS-eXamined
Trembly related that he had said to
another man that he would fix Bert
husen, but had not. as was testified
yesterday. said anything about getting
even with him. He explained hat he
had meant to give the impression that
Berthusen farm, he would go back
and esum his work in which way
he hoped to ecover the balance of
$40 which he maintained was still due
him for wages.
Trembly amplifed his testimony on
this point by saying:
Amy man who say that l threaten
ed to get even with Berthusen. is a
liar, and the man who says so, l will
have him arrested"
Charactcrizing a Witness.
Regarding Joe Forth whom Trem-
bly, had believed to be his friend until
yesterday when Forth testified
against him, the witness said:
He talks too much, he is a news
paper. a windjammer. l thought he
was going to tell the truth. but he told
lie."
Late yesterday the defense called
Ely Price. Err. lillian and Sam
Degagne as character witnesses; they
testified that they knew Trembly as a
good ~law-abiding citizen, but their
testimony was ruled out by order of
Judge Charles NJ. Cooley upon al OBJ
lection by Mr.. Elton who established
the fact hat Trembly had never made
his residence among these people.
Andy Burns. John Gangew and
Sam Tucker were the next witnesses
called by MIR. Wineman, n their
testimony was generally to the effect
that they had seen the slare of the
fire from some distance II had then
gone to the Berthusen place where
they watched the fire and helped ex-
tinguishing it.
At the end of the forenoon session
Mr.. Elton summed up the case. and
when the afternoon session opened at
1880 Mr.. Wineman argued before the
jury pleading the innocence Of the de-
PENDANT.
Shortly before 3 o'clock the court
delivered his charge and the case was
then submitted to the jury.

Grand opera is as easy to under

FRIENDLY CASE;
NOW IN HANDS
OF THE JURY
Defendant, Taking Stand in
Own Behalf, Denies Hav-
ing Made Threats.
Lawyers Present Argu.
ments, and Court Charges
Jury This Afternoon.

The story of a drifting, apparently
ainless. life was told on the witness
stand in the district court this norm
ing by Archie Trembly. who is on
trial before a jury charged with hav-
ing set fire to the barn of the Berthu-
sen farm in Brenna township last
September.
Time and again the defendant de-
family shouted that his accusers were
lying against him when they had said
that he had made threats to burn the
barn. "It is a lie'-this was his con-
slant refrain, and uttered every time
with a great deal of emphasis.
Trembly who stammers slightly,
and speaks imperfect English. had a
hard time making his auditors under
stand what he said. He testified tina
he was Il French Canadian, that he
had lived in New Hampshire for some
time, had spent h last % years in
the various parts of North Dakota,
doing work for farmers and occasion
ally "going on a little spree" he ad-
mitted. lie said he had never at
tended any school and was unable to
read and write, and he gave his age
younger.
The Line Of Defense.
From the interrogations of J. B.
Wineman, counsel for the defendant,
who took Trembly in hands this
morning, it would appear that the
theory of the defense is that the fire
was a result Of self-combustion in
some loads of alfalfa which had been
stored in the Berthusen barn. En-
animation of previous witnesses SEEM
ed to indicate tina the defense worked
upon the hypothesis hat the fire was
caused for the purpose of recovering
Insurance.
No Threats Made, Trembly Says.
Upon direct examination by Mr.
wineman the witness declared thai
he had never in any way intimated
Darn.
When States Attorney Thco. 8. FL
ton began his cross-examination, he
asked the Witness.
did you on September 16 tell
Harvey Wolfe. as he testified here yes
terday, hat you were going to &c,
even with Ole Berthusen and burn his
barn down."
The witness answered.:
wolfe is a liar. and the whole
thing is a put up job. l did lot tel
him any such thing
Discretion Of Trcmbly.
At another time when the cross-ex'
animation drifted into a discussion OF
Trembly's occasional "sprees," he wa:
asked by MIR. Elton:
Where did you get the whiskey?"
The witness alertly replied:
81 don't have to tell you,'' and ther
added that he got it from some boot
leggers.

was alleged to have taken place il

from his duties and will temporarily
