FINLEY MAN FIRES
10 SHOTS AT COUPLE

After firing eight or ten shots at
the parents Of Miss Jose Hendrickson,
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Hendrickson,
John. Nagel, 80, farm hand, fed into
the woods near the Sheyenne river
near Finley, N. d., and posses were
securing the woods Monday in an at
tempt to capture the would-be murder
er. The citizens forming the posse
were led by Albert Sparrow, sheriff
of Steele county, and Oscar Johnson,
chief Of police of Hope. After threat
ening the lives Of the couple several
times during the winter. Nagel is said
to have gone to the Hendrickson home
between 10 and II p. m, Saturday and
after Mr.. and Mrs. Hendrickson re-
tired, he began firing Immediately.
Two shots hit Hendrickson, one in
the forearm, and the other in the side,
causing flesh wounds. Nagel is claim
ed to be partially demented.
. Nagel is believed to have concealed
himself y at. the farm home until Mr..
and Mrs. Hendrickson retired. From
the bedroom window he opened fire
on the couple. Hendrickson went into
small clothes closet. to get a gun and
to barricade himself and wife
against Nagel. Nagel entered the
house and placed his gun against the
clothes closet door and fired three
times through the door. When the two
shots struck Hendrickson he was fore
ed to give up his hold on the door.
Hendrickson chased the assailant into
the yard, during which time Nagel fir
ed at him several times, his aim go
ing amiss because of the darkness.
Nagel according to authorities start
ed to cut telephone connections so that
the .Hendrickson's could not spread
an alarm. Mrs. Hendrickson saw him
through a window. He turned and
fired two shots at her.

BY CANNING

Fresh fruit and vegetables are not
only valuable as food but help keep
. the body in good condition. A number
of cases of malnutrition among the
children of North Dakota have been
traced to lack of sufficient quantities,
of fruits and vegetables in the family
diet.
Il In the summer, people have suffi-
cient supply Of fruits and vegetables
and there should be balanced ration
for winter months as we'll as for sum-
mer months. Also a variety of fresh
meat preparations aer available to
farm people throught some canningi
zFrom an economic standpoint it is
very important to make more gardens
and can the surplus produce. Data
shows that avery high percentage, OF
the canned goods used in North Dako-
ia is purchased. in tin cans from
stores. Canning when the products
are cheap and plentiful will give an
inexpensive supply Of appetizings and
wholesome foods tor the winter
months. =.
From an educational standpoint it
is also worth while for young girls
to learn how TO can successfully by
the latest approved methods. The one
one-time cold pact method Of canning
has been tried out and approved by
the United States Department Of
agriculture. Where group Of girls
are interested in this work, a club can
be organized and free training will
l.be given by extension workers. ANY,
one interested in reducing H. C. L. and
promoting health through a better
balanced diet by means Of food pre-
servation, should enroll now: For fur-

John Abels, 1S, was instantly

WHY USE BRIGHT LIGHTS?
Only Safe Way Is to Install Dis
persing Lenses


About half Of the automobiles in
Abilene are still equipped with far
ing headlights which are a menace
not only to themselves but to every
body who uses the roads. Some are
careful to turn on the DINNERS when
meeting other cars but many pay no
attention to the traffic regulations
in regard to them. 1t Is absolutely
against the Abilene ordinance to use
glaring lights on the streets in any
part of the city whether YOU meet
other cars or not. fact of which too
many drivers seem to be in igner-
anee.
The only safe way is to have your
car equipped with recognized dis
persing lenses which are much bet
ter to drive with than the glaring
ones. The painted ones do not con-
form with the regulations, nor do
some of the semi-dispersing ones.
Auto owners owe It to themselves
as well as to other users of the
and highways to safeguard
a gainst accidents and the bright
lights are one Of the chief causes. A
few arrests would do a whole lot tSs
ward suppressfng this nuisance.

SCOTT WANTS vINDIcATIoN
Says Charges Of the !. G. OFFICERS
Against Him Are False


Topeka, July 29-Albert Il. Scott,
accountant for the Southwestern
Bell Telephone Co.; yesterday ad-
dressed letter to the public utilities
commission, In which he asked that
he be given an opportunity to vindi-
cate his record In court Of record.
Scott's testimony In the recent rate
hearing before the commission was
characterized as false by Chairman
Clyde NJ. Reed In his official opinion
In the case.
'In the opinion mentioned" Scott
states in his letter, 'the commission
took occasion to charge that my tes-
timny was false; that had been
guilty Of a fragrant outrage upon
good faith and reasonable account
ing and decent public morals, and
that had been guilty Of an attempt,
under oath, to deceive the. commits
sion by introducing false and mis-
leading testimony and was a moral
perjurer."
'These statements Of the commits
sioners are each and every one Of
them unfcunded and unwarranted
and the official record of my testi-
mony and the exhibits introduced by
me will show them to be So"
Scott says that he has been ad-
vised by his counsel that he cannot
bring action for libel because Of a
statute which gives public officials
the privilege Of making such state
ments in their official capacity. He
asks that Chairman Reed waive this
privilege.
