DYNAMITE MAN
GIVEN A FOUR
MONTH SENTENCE
Mike ]. Lawrence Preferred
the "Pen" to County
Jail.

Charged with carrying explosives
through the streets Of Grand Forks
contrary to law and with being in
possession Of thirteen sticks of dyna-
mite and ten decorating caps con-
trary to the statutes. Mike j. Law
renee pleaded guilty before Judge c.
n. Cooley in district court this morn
ing. Lawrence was sentenced to four
months in the county Jail and COM
menced serving his term at noon to-
day. States Attorney T. B. Elton con-
Quoted the case for the state.
Prefers the "Pen."
A UNIQUE feature of the case is that
Lawrence would prefer to be sent to
The penitentiary to serve his sentence.
In fact he made the request Of Attor-
ney Elton. Mr.. Elton informed him
that II he had such a strong desire to
pend some of his days in the pen
that perhaps it could be arranged to
his taste if he desired to plead guilty
Or do some other malicious act. Law
rence's interest in the pen" imme-
iiately went down to zero.
Lawrence Says He Is Goat"
According to his own story Law
renee is acting the part of goat" for
others. He claims that he met two
men Of short acquaintance at the De
Mers avenue bridge. His friends asked
him to carry the package to the depot
where they would relieve him OF 1t.
Lawrence, being Of an accommodat-
ing nature, started out to do that lit
lie thing.
Officials are skeptical of his story
md Lawrence absolutely refused to
reveal the identity of the men who
gave him the package of dynamite,
stating that ne hated a "squawker."
Patrolman Bliven arrested the man
On February % when the gingerly
way with which Lawrence carried his
package aroused the officers suspi-
:ions. Lawrence waived examination
when brought before Justice of the
Peace Phil Mclaughlin.
Rumors to the effect that Lawrence
had heen. connected with the recent
ires in East Grand Forks seem to be
unfounded as it appears thai the pris-
oner was not in this vicinity at the
lime 0f tho fires

injunction restraining submission Q

the law to a referendum.
Anti-suffragists appealed to the
state supreme court after the district
court had granted sufragists a per-
manent injunction restraining sub.
mission Of the law to a referendum.
The attorney generals Office holds
that the act, suspended while the in
junction suit was pending, again be
came operative when the permanent
Injunction wa granted. The appeal
it is held, has not nullified the acts
effectiveness. The suffragists based
their aargument against a referendum
on the contention that the anti suffra-
gists' petition for submission Of the
question, contained signatures that
were n genuine.
The appeal may not come before
the supreme court before 1920 and
some state officials say the case may
be allowed to die natural death.

march to the Rhine We started from
the small town of Lissey, in France,
and marched through the country of
Luxembourg TO this town, which is on
the border Tit Moselle river, which
flows through this town, separates
Germany from Luxembourg.
Everyone has the opinion that we
will march to Coblenz, at the mouth
of the Moselle and on the Rhine. 1t
is about $50 kiloneters from here, SO
it is about a good ten days march.
While on the march we slept in barns
and vacant houses, which are not very
warm for this time of the year, but
it is a great deal better than resting
in she'll holes on the front.
Our division is one OF the few that
bore the brunt of the battles this
year. so we are expecting to be among
the first to be sent home. The 32nd
was on the Chateau Thierry drive,
scissors drive with General Mangin's
French army. On that drive Is where
the 32nd-or rather our brigade-won
the name Terrible Brigade" We
were then placed on the Argonne for
est drive and we went through hell
all during the month of October. I
shall never forget that month for the
rest of my life. I don't believe that
my shoes were dry once, for it rained
almost all the month, through the en-
tire fight.
| have a few souvenirs which l
have picked up on the fronts and are
easy to carry, so don't look for any
helmets. l could pick them up by the
hundreds, but one who is at the front
has no chance in sending them home.
have a picture which I prize very
highly, and l got it off dead German
in the streets Of Fismes on the Cha
teau-T hierry drive. | am going to
have it enlarged, for it shows the hor-
rors of the battlefield. 1t is a great
likeness of what we went through this
summer and fall.
Please tell mother to send me some

somewhere In France:
A. P. o. 916, Nov. 3, 1918.
Dear Grandma, Grandpa and Grand
ma B.:
Received your most welcome letter
some time ago, and was certainly glad
to get it. I have been pretty busy
lately, so this is the first chance I
have had to answer it. I suppose you
will expect lot Of news, but l will
have to disappoint you, as we can't
write much about what is going on,
so will save all till get back, which
| hope won't be long. sure have seen
a lot Of country since | left Camp
Grant. I have been in Scotland and
England from one end to the other,
and have been in France for some
time and, believe me, there couldn't
any Of these countries come up to the
good old U. S. A. We certainly have
a great country, and lots of us didn't
know it until we got here. | have
seen lots on my travels, and some
things of great interest. The people
sure do treat us fine, but Of course we
can't talk to them; it is like trying to
talk to a dummy-have to use our
hands. | suppose that you all back
there are getting ready for winter by
now. But one good thing about it
here is that it doesn't get very cold,
but we have quite lot Of rain. and
we certainly have had enough OF it
lately. l got letter from the folks
saying you had been to Waukesha
Grandma, how did you like it there?
Dad is home now He did pretty well
out in Dakota, and mother said he
looked and felt lot better. Ethel,
poor girl, has such poor health. Lloyd
has been out west, too. He tried. to
enlist, but couldn't. He had to regis
ter. Marcella wrote and said so many
were having the Spanish influenza
there. l had it, but it was light. l
was only sick week and am feeling
fine and in the game every day now.
Well, I will have to quit and go to
bed. You will have to excuse the
writing as l haven't the best place in
the world to write. Say hello to the
old neighbors for me, and don't worry,
as / am getting all can eat and good
care, so goodbye. Love to all,
