We can all find strength to carry
our burden in one day; to be kind,
and sweet, and true, and firm, just
till night falls. This is all life ever
asks of us. To fight one days temp
tation, do one days duties; check an
CRY and fretful humors; hold our
tongues in subsection, and, if we can
say nothing kind, say nothing at all,
for just one day.

.LANCER'S FLYING
SQUADRONMAkE
HAUL LAST NIGHT
Judge Duell Holds Night Court
To Dispose Of Cigarette and
Gambling Cases.

Bill Langer's "Flying Squadron" hit
town last evening and as a result,
Judge Duell held a night session of
Police Court. Their coming was not
altogether unexpected as they had
raided several of the larger towns to
the east of Devils Lake on their tour
of the state in an endeavor to stamp
out the sale of cigarettes and the VOL
alton of other of the minor state laws.
Henry Mundt, Of Crary, was the first
to answer the charges of the state as
preferred by Watkins Of selling Gig
arettes to one H. E.. Kilner. He plead
ed guilty and was sentenced to pay
a fine Of $50 and costs, the 10 day
Jail sentence being suspended.
Alfred Peterson Of Churches Ferry
was the next called on the same charge
preferred by the same Watkins. He
also pleaded guilty and paid a fine of
$50 and costs, Jail sentence in this
case also being suspended during good
behavior.
Joe Roadhouse of Doyon then an
swered to q like charge, paid a like
fine.
Only one local concern made an ap-
pearance in court and after consulting
their attorney on the matter they de-
cided that they would also pay their
fines.
Henry Mundt and Joe Roadhouse
were then separately arraigned on a
charge of gambling, the method be-
ing used was that of operating a slot
machine. Both defendants pleaded
guilty to the charge and paid a fine
of $40 and costs. The charge a. first
read was of "swindling" the penalty
for which is $500 but as the defend
ants signified their intention to plead
guilty the charge was changed to that
of gambling"
According to the story of the de-
PENDANTS the machine is purely and
simply a gum vending machine-tha
is, the customer drops.a nickel in the
slot and in return gets a package of
chewing gum, and if lucky a number
of chips also, which are taken in
trade by the proprietor Of tho house.
These chips can in turn be played back
into the machine for additional chips,
or they may be lost in an endeavor to
'break the bank" The defendants
claim that the salesman who induced
them to install the machine showed
them opinions of many of the state
and county officials which were to the
effect that they could legitimately be
| operated in North Dakota. It also

The document, which was secured

that the government signed the peace

The document speculates on various
possible developments and then sets
forth a concrete plan,. the first step Of
which would be to hasten an internal

belong to the defendants but are still
the property of the company who
build them and that they are u on
a percentage basis. A man in each
town is appointed by the company to
go around and check up the receipts
of the machine and make the percent
