Harold Jones, Former Minot Lad a
Hero

Harold Jones, aged 10, son OF Mr..
and Mrs. J. A., Jones, until a year
AGO residents of Minot, now Of Super
ior, Wis, did a heroic act last Satur-
day afternoon when he saved the life
of a playmate, Raymond Mcbride,
aged 9, at the risk of his own. Three
boys had made a raft of logs and
were out in the bay at Superior. The
raft floated out into deep water and
the waves made by passing tug tore
the raft to pieces. None Of the boys
could swim. The little boys scream
ed for help and grabbed the logs.
Harold oJnes, standing in the water
near the shore, quickly waded into
deeper water to aid the trio. Harold
swan out to the Mcbride lad and
caught him by the hair just as he
sank for the third time, and swan
with him to shore. Harold then swan
back and attempted to rescue Lawr-
ence johnson, 10, but was able only
to reach his wet hand which slipped
away from his grasp, and the lad was
drowned. Harvey Kunert, IL, was
able to struggle to shore.
The father Of Harold Jones was for
merly manager Of the relay office for
the 6. N. Railway Co. in Minot and
holds similar position in Superior.

Minot Steam Laundry Now Occupies
Its New Home

The Minot Steam Laundry moved
this week into it's magnificent new
block, at the corner of First St. and
Second Ave. S. W. and has been op-
Grating it's plant in the new home
since Monday.
The building, which is s3x13O feet,
one story and basement, was built es-
pecially for laundry purposes and this
gives them one of the very finest
laundry plants in North Dakota. Con-
siderable new equipment, including a
water softener, is being installed. The
new plant is much roomier than the
old one and will permit much larg-
er output. 1t is large enough to ac-
commodate a city twice the size of
Minot.
Theodore and August Meyer en-
gagged in the laundry business in this
city eleven years ago and they have
made a remarkable success. They
know the business thoroughly and
are hard workers. Their new building
and lots represent an expenditure of
$70,O00.O0.

Frank j. O'Donnell, advance man
for the Howes Great London Circus
which is to show here on June 20, was
in the city Wednesday. The company
has been showing in the Canadian
Northwest during the early summer
and visited Medicine Hat recently.
This is where Hatfield, the rain max
er, is operating. Hatfield has a big
chemical tank full of some sort Of
a concoction and the citizens of Medi-
cine Hat raised 100000 which they
gave him on his promise to create
rain. The old fellow declared that he
would have nice rain under way by
the time the circus arrived and sure
enough circus day in Medicine Hat
was rainy. The downpour continued
until the circus had a hard time get
ting out of the town. Now the mana
ger of the circus threatens to sue Hat
field for damages.

The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1921-06-16

More than a week has passed since
the murder of Marie Wick, 18-year-
old Grygla, Minn., girl in Room 80
of the Prescott hotel in Fargo, and
the authorities are no nearer to ap-
pretending the murderer than they
were the day following one of the
most atrocious crimes in the history
Of the state.
All efforts are now being centered
on locating the mysterious James
Farrell',, who registered at O'Clock
on the morning that the girl was
beaten to death with hose nozzle,
after she had been gagged and her
hands tied to the bed posts with pill
low cases, and thereafter an assault
istered from Willmar, Mimi, and in
writing his address on the hotel regis
ter spelled the name of the town
Wilmer, omitting one ''l''. The au-
thorities have been informed that no
James Farrell is known in Willmar
and it is quite possible that this is the
nan wanted. Every other guest at
the hotel that night has been located
and questioned.
The strand of hair found in the
girls hand has been analyzed at the
Minnesota state laboratory and it was
found that it was not human hair.
A suit case was found at the Great
Northern station with towels appear
ing to be covered with some substance
resembling blood. In the suit case
there was a key to Room 81 Of the
Prescott hotel, the room occupied by
Mr.. Hagen, former president of the
defunct Scandinavian-American bank
of Fargo. 1t appears that there was
another key to this room and that the
key was left in the suit case some
time previous to the murder by a
young woman who left the hotel with
out paying her bill.
The CrOOkstOn Crime
The local authorities read with
much interest dispatches telling Of
the assault on Kate Dubois, 17-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Dubois, living near Angus, Polk coun-
ty, Fl miles from Crookston.
The girl was found on the kitchen
floor of her home unconscious late
yesterday by her parents when they
returned from visit. She had been
beaten over the head and had several
cuts on her arms and hands. She
had been gagged and would have
strangled to death had not her par
ents returned when they did.
The details of this assault, the
gagging Of the girl and tying her to
chair, were suggestive of the work
of the slayer of Miss Wick. 1t is
thought just possible that there may
be some connection between the two
crimes.
Authorities investigating the nur-
der of Miss Wick are awaiting fur
ther information from the victim of
the assault near Crookston, who
claims that she would be able to
identify her assailant although he was
masked when he entered her home.
She is reported to have said that he
pointed revolver at her and threat
ened to shoot if she made an outcry.
When she resisted his advances, she
said the man used a butcher knife.
