Famous Tenor Dies

Enrico Caruso, world famous tenor,
died at Naples Tuesday.
The condition Of the singer, which
had been considered satisfactory un-
til recently, became grave Monday,
.:eritonitis developing and another op-
Grafton being considered necessary.
From the beginning Of his relapse,
however, there was serious concern
over the outcome, and Monday night
his life was despaired of. During the
night his condition grew worse stead
lily, and his death came at an early
hour Tuesday morning.
Signor Caruso underwent an opera
tion Sunday, over the results of which
the surgeons were pessimistic. Car
uso was said to be extremely weak all
afternoon, the weakness of his heart
necessitating injection of camphor ev-
cry two hours.
The operation was for an abscess
between the liver and the diaphragm,
which caused acute peritonitis. Car
bedside.
The tenor was until week ago on
the way to recovery from the long
illness which began in New York last
winter, early in the operate season.
when suddenly he had an unexpected
relapse and was removed from Sor.
rento to Naples.
He arrived at Naples Sunday night
and the specialists called in decided
to operate Immediately.

STRAUBVILLE
BOY IS KILLED
Norman G. Mufle Succumbs rs Resul
Of Injuries Sustained When
Dragged by Team
DEATH COMES IN FEW MINUTES
Funeral Conducted at Family Hom,
by Rev. O. L. eAatheay -.

Straubville people mourn the death
Of Norman G. Muffle, youngest son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Simon Muffle, who met
death as the result of an accident on
July 10.
The young man had just returned
from the hay field and, while remov-
ing the brides from the team his foot
caught in one Of the neckyoke straps.
The horse became frightened and gal
loped around the yard into the barn,
dragging the boy with him. His head
struck the wagon wheel, crushing his
skull, and he died within a few min
utes after having been picked up by
his mother and a neighbor who wit
messed the accident, but were power
less to render aid to the unfortunate
lad.
Funeral services were conducted
from the home in Straubville, in
charge Of Rev. o. L. Anthony, pastor
of the Oakes Methodist church. A
large company of neighbors and
friends came to pay their last respects
to the departed and to extend condol-
ences to the bereaved parents. Inter-
ment was made in the Cogswell GEM
etery.

HOLD-UP ARTISTS
MAKE POOR HAUL
"Stick Up" Harvest Hand at 500
Yards and Secure Measly
Dollar for Trouble
WORK THE STUNT CLEvERLY
Victim Unable to Furnish Description
to Authorities

The annual fall hold-up season is
now on in full blast, with the center
Of operation located in the North
Western and 500 railroad yards.
Monday evening the police were no.
titled that one Of the laborers had
been stuck up and robbed by two un-
known parties, being painlessly re-
lieved of a whole American dollar in
the process.
When the victim had been located
he was unable to give description Of
his assailants for the good and sufii-
cient reason that he didn't see them.
He was coming out from between two
box cars, presumably searching for q
suitable place to stop" for the night,
when two men hailed him from the
rear and ordered him to elevate his
hands and look straight ahead on pain
of being bored through and through
with bullet. While he was engaged
in fulfilling his part of the unfair ar
rangement, the two worthless proceed
ed to explore his pockets and separate
him from his dollar.
The man did not give his name to
the police and as he doesn't know what
his "friends" look like, there seems to
be small reason for any hope that they
will be apprehended. The dollar will
have to be charged up to profit and
loss, mostly loss, and we understand
there was no insurance, so we have
some excuse for believing the hold-up
victim had not made the acquaintance
Of Jim Nichols.
In conversation with some Of the
transients who came down town after
the incident, it developed that an
agent Of the I. w. W. had been solic-
iting memberships that afternoon and
when he came to certain party he
was informed that said party didn't
need any red card as he hadn't nade
the trip up here for the ,,p.pose Of
seeking work. The stranger then sx-
tended his lily-white hands to prove
that he was not accustomed to the
vulgar form Of exercise known az
working. At this juncture one Of the
laborers informed him that he "would
be a damned good man to watch"
Whether this gentleman had a hand
in the robbery is matter Of doubt,
but men who associate with the 'wob-
blies" and are not looking for work
are open to suspicion.
Some time ago couple Of yeggs
attempted to burglarize the safe in the
500 depot, but were frightened away
before they had an opportunity Of ap-
plying the "soup." They had sue
ceeded in boring two or three holes
in the safe, however, and would have
secured the money if they had been
able to work few minutes longer.
With so many transient laborers
and hoboes visiting Oakes every year
at about this time, it is wonder that
more occurrences of this nature do
not take place. Just suppose that
man had possessed two dollars instead
of only one.

Trying Pidgin English

There was prominent lawyer in
San Francisco who prided himself on
his astuteness in questioning Chinese
witnesses. He was very nearsighted,
however, and on one occasion got into
difficulty through failing to notice
that the dress of certain Chinese
witness was Of finer texture than that
worn by the ordinary coolie. The fol-
lowing dialogue ensued:
"What is your name?"
"Sell Lung"
"Do you live in San Francisco?"
Eyes"
"Do you savvy God?"
"Mr. Attorney, if you mean to ask
whether I comprehend the entity Of
our Creator, I will merely reply that
on next Thursday evening shall ad.
dress the State Ministerial associa.
tion upon the subject of The Divinity
Of Christ and I shall be pleased il
you will attend.
To the day Of his death the cele.
brated lawyer will never escape the
question, "You savvy God7"

LIGHT PLANT BACK TO NORMAL
New Smoke Stack Completed and
Power Resumed

The steeple jacks who erected the
new smoke stack for the General Util-
tiles corporation were not the only
ones who heaved a sigh Of genuine,
unadulterated relief last Monday
when the last daub of paint had been
applied.
Business Of practically every sort
had been at more or less of q stand
still during the day time since the pre-
ceding Wednesday, and it is with a
feeling Of pleasure that we are able
to announce the return to normalcy of
the light and power plant.
Few people realized how dependent
the city Of Oakes is upon the General
Utilities corporation until that insti-
tuition was forced to close down while
the new stack was being built.
Without electric light and power
the moving picture theatre is impo-
tent, no newspaper could be published,
no cream changed into butter, no dirt
removed from our clothes by the laun-
dry, and one couldn't get matted milk
unless the clerk was willing to do the
shaking by hand. One couldn't even
have light in his bedroom so he could
see to sleep, and you'd be obliged to
find the way home at night by the use
Of the compass, and you might not
know whether it was your own home
or not when you finally did get there.
But everything is all right now. The
old world can go merrily on with
hardly care, because we now have
electric light and power once more.
If another high wind comes along we
sincerely trust it will pass by the
lighting plants smoke stack without
deigning to give it notice.

Many Sign Petitions

Recall petition signers numbered
65,O21 Tuesday.
This represents a tremendous in
crease in the number since Saturday.
There still are more than 500 petit
tions in circulation at various points
in the state, according to officials at
headquarters in Fargo. ne goal is
$4,000 signers.
adams county has reported more
signers for the recall petitions than
there were votes for j. F. T. O'Con-
nor in the election last November"
said o. L. Engen of the l. v. A., Tues
day. "Steele is another county that
has exceeded the O'Connor vote, while
the Fifth legislative district in Grand
Forks county, with big showing al
ready, bids fair to be the banner dis
trict in the state"
Minot is not going to be satisfied
with signatures on the recall petitions
numbering 80 per cent of the O'Con-
nor vote. With three more precincts
to hear from, the result after the
cleanup drive is $500. The O'Connor
vote was 2,750. The returns from
the three missing precincts, indepen-
dents claim, will bring the total up to
practically 100 per cent of the O'Con-
nor vote.
The signers have been listed alpha
betically and checked with the vot-
ers' lists. Men familiar with the po-
litical affiliations of Minot residents
claim many who have supported the
league have signed the recall petit
tions.

REVENUE MEN
lVFEST 0AKES
Three Government Representative
With Insatiable Thirst for Knowl-
edge Make Appearance
CHECK LOCAL BUSINESS PLACES
Discover Many Different Articles th.,
Need Taxing

0enC revenue inspector, all lhSt la
wrong with the world is lack Of things
to tax. II man appears to be reas-
onably prosperous, these worthy gen.
tlemen soon find some means Of re-
moving his smile.
Three government men made their
appearance in our midst few days
ago and before they left town they
knew more about how the average
business is conducted than the propri-
etors' wives have ever been able to
discover, which proves that whatever
else may be said, they are entitled to
the silver handled gunny sack for eff
cheney in the matter Of extracting in
formation where none exists.
Two of these men were described
by local victim of their activities as
''pretty good guys" while he referred
to the third as ''hard boiled insect" "
We will not attempt to enlarge or
elaborate on this description, because
it goes without saying that the delin-
cation fits like kid glove.
Presumably it is possible for a
revenue man to be a revenue man
without at the same time being a pub
lie nuisance, but few of them have
ever appeared to realize this import
ant truth. They sure do have a thirst
for knowledge which might be applied
to advantage in other activities, and
they have method all their own of
finding out about things. Ask any
body who has been unfortunate
enough to have to deal with them.
One reason the government is MAX
ing such poor headway in getting it's
bills paid through revenue received is
because Of the large army Of men it
has engaged to do the collecting.
These men are paid salaries, good sal
aries very likely, and wherever there
is work that one man might. easily
do, several are on hand to do it. One
man certainly could check up on all
the business houses in Oakes, SO why
in the name Of mud must three be
sent here? There are no hard boiled
business men in Oakes, so the agents
are in no danger Of getting unused
up" when they insert their inquisitive
noses in lot Of things that are none
of their business, richly as some of
them may deserve it.
1t has been said that the govern
ment spends over half of the tax re-
ceipts in taking care of the expense
of collection. This may be somewhat
exaggerated, but it is doubtful. II
any other business had the proper
tionate overhead" that the govern
ment carries it would be in the hands
Of receiver before a month had
elapsed. Maybe the new administra-
tion will be able to figure out work
able plan for government economy.
The people will live in hopes until
shown that there is no possible chance
Of such an important innovation.
