Wounds Man
(By United Press)

Fargo, N. D., July 22.---No charge
has been placed yet against William
Small, negro, who made use of his
gun when ordered from a freight car
at Casselton. Missing the policeman
who had insisted that he get off, he
hit a 10-year-old girl in the wrist and
seriously wounded Julius Husch. Au-
thorities are awaiting developments
in the situation of Mr.. Rusch before
making the charge.
At st. Johns hospital here it was
said Mr.. Rusch's condition was good
this morning and unless infection sets
in he will be alright.
When Small was ordered off the
car he shot at the policeman and then
ordered Rusch, whose car stood by,
to drive him away. Rusch fumbled
with the car and the negro became
nervous, jumped out of the car and
hid. The little daughter of Emil
Priewe called to him from her home
and the negro shot off the gun to
silence her and hit her wrist. Then
he turned the gun on Mr.. Rusch, one
bullet hitting and passing through
his side. Automobiles on the street
modified in a posse and caught him
three miles from town.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
MAKES GOOD DETOURs

w. F. Rosenwald, st. Paul, chief
highway maintenance engineer, re-
Gently said: ''.rhe highway depart ;
ment is making every effort to mark
and maintain good detours around
new construction on trunk highways.
In some instances, however, the de-
tour roads, unlike the trunk routes
built to carry heavy traffic, will not
stand UP even with the best possible
maintenance. The thing to do then
lis to look forward to the fast ap-
preaching day when the regular route
will be recpened to travel a better
highway than before"
The engineer cited an example, the

highway No. 8, and asserted that only

SUMMER MOTOR TOURISTS
NOW SWARMING IN WEST
Flivvers and Paved Highways

Summer Touring
(By United Press)

Poland, Ore, July 22.--Gone are
the slow moving vans, the moth
eaten wagons with their worse moth
eaten steeds, the canvaS-covered prai-
rie schooners. The tourist of yester-
year has been relegated to the limbo
Of oblivion with the advent of the
flivver and the paved highway.
The modern gypsy is here.
| Portland is the clearing house for
hundreds of tourists each day at this
time of the year And these tourists
are in a class by themselves.
| California or Canada bound, they
are pouring over the highways of the
Northwestern animated, good-na-
tured, Goth-like hoard, rowing of eye,
cheerful Of countenance, and amiable
of disposition.
| In vehicles of all sorts they come,
from the touring cars with neatly ar
ranged cases containing baggage to
big cumbersome bodies mounted on
"fiivver" chassis. in which whole FAM
lilies live day in and day out, and
from whose windows the eager faces
of children peer, and from whose sides
float stringloads of varicolored
wash"
No weather can deter them, no
hardship can cast them down. They
are out for a good time. Some parties
have been on the road for mon this,
othes have just started.
In the auto camp here license tags
from as many as thirty states have

They don't know.
"We're seeing the country" they
say. "Wc'vd worked hard for years
and now we're taking our vacation.
It's great Efe."
1t is no uncommon sight to see the
puny radiator of a cheap car putting
steam through the water vent as the
puny engine beneath the hood battles
valiantly to hurry along a barn-like
tonncnu with a family of a dozen.

BARNABY ENTERTAINERS

The closing concert of the chautau-

Entertainers, was a fitting close to
tha series; of numbers on the chau-
tauqua course. Mr.. and Mrs Barn
ably are real, high class entertainers
and presented 4 beautiful series of
numbers Enthusiastically different
from any previously presented Their
productions were staged with rich
curtain effects, complete footlight
equipment in colors, DINNERS and
spotlight. Dorothy M. Baraby has
a most pleasing personality and, in
charmng manner, presents her varied
numbers. The outstanding feature of
their numbers was the sketch "His
Dream of Liberty" Written in col

The chalk talks of Mr.. Barnaby,
chief of which was "Mandalay's, were
very clever. His portrayal Of Rud-
yard Kipling's descriptions in that
poem were visualiZed cleverly by his
chalk drawings.
DR.. Frank S. Hollett, who substi-

of Mr.. MINIS illness, presented in his
lecture "Through the Wilds of Lab

in most interesting manner many Of
his experiences in his six years work
hin Labrador. Perhaps no man, with
the exception of Dr. Grenfell, the cele-
brated Labrador missionary, has had
more interesting experiences with the
inhabitants of upper Labrador than
has Dr.. Hollett and many of these eX-
periences were given by him as well
a portrayal of many Of the habits
and customs of the Esquimaux, who
live in that country. DR.. Hollett has
acted as superintendent Of the Be-
midi chautauqua and much of the
success Of the program may be at
tributed to the splendid manner in
which the artists were introduced by
him. BY his enthusiasm and genial
ity he instilled real chautauqua
spirit, which is bound to remain for
the future Dr. HoElett will also sub

points until DR.. Mills is sufficiently
recovered to resume his lecture.
