lowing a disturbance at the home of
Pete Grape. Mr.. Grape conducts a
soft drink parlor and cigar store
and lives above his place of bust
ness. He and his wife had been
out riding and returned about dark
Mr.. Grape was putting his car away
and his wife went upstairs. Just
as she was switching on a light she
says man grabbed her by the
throat. The woman screamed,
broke away from her assailant and
fell almost to the bottom of the
stairway, but was practically unhurt
Just then two men rushed from the
rooms and beat hasty retreat.
Graye says. Mr.. Grape gave chase
and was soon Joined by other citiz-
ems. In the school yard they came
upon this fellow, Smiley in dress
clothes, but in the yard were found
two suits of unionalls and two caps.
Smiley claims to know nothing of
the affair, but the officers say Mrs.

 Bainbridge Colby. secretary of state, in announcing that the French flag would be hoisted over the state department building with the Stars and Stripes, suggested informally that the same be done from business houses and residences over the entire country.
 Tt would be a very appropriate and graceful act" he said, for the people of this country to blend the Stars and Stripes with the French tri- color on their business houses and homes on Bastille day.
 General Pershing's message follows
 Your American friends and com radeS in arms send to the French army and people their most cordial greetings on the inspiring occasion of your victory day. Bound together in friendship by historic ties dating from the revolution, firmly cemented in the World war by the blood of our sons on common batGefie1ds, your people and ours may look with confidence into the future and rejoice that our unity is unimpaired and that we have maintained for posterity our high na- tional ideals Of liberty and justice We pay all honor and tribute to the glorious dead who have given their lives in defense of these noble prin- ciples.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BENSON, Minn., July 13.-Hearing in the suit contesting the nomination of Rev. O. J. Kvale. who won out over Representative Volstead in the Sew enth Minnesota congressional district at the recent Republican primaries, was concluded in district court here today. Judge Albert Johnston, how ever. allowed counsel for both sides until Friday to present authorities for their arguments and indicated he may hand down a decision next week.
 After MT. Volstead had reiterated that he is not an atheist, as charged in the primary campaign, Rev. kvale took the stand. He said that three factors entered into his classifying MT. Volstead as an atheist. The first was the latter's alleged criticism of the minister's faith: second. he asserted Nolstead did not state the truth in an alleged statement that the Non -Parti- san league was composed of anar- chists and socialists, and, third. he all legged the congressman used vile Ian guage.
 Despite objections of counsel for the contestants, Judge Johnson allowed in troduction of a circular said to have been issued in behalf of the congress man in which reference was made to the parable in the Bible of Christ feed ing a multitude with five loaves and two fishes. Volstead was quoted as saying that anyone who could feed 5000 persons with five loaves and two fishes could settle the profiteerine question:"
