According to reports from officers
of the law. both city and county, there
are a number Of queer doings on VAL
ley City streets most every night
mainly in the line of auto running
Last night an attempt to steal, a car
which was parked on one of our
streets was frustrated by an onlooke1
who happened to know who the car
belonged to, and this morning comes
word of car apparently abandoned
in Chautauqua Park. A man who was
driving large car stopped at a To-
cal garage and asked what it would
cost him to get new inner tube, as
he had a flat tire. When he was told
the price he said he guessed he would
drive it the way it was. The car was
later traced to Darcy. It behooves
every car owner to take extra precau-
lions just now, to make sure that his
car is safe. There seems to be a
great demand for cars that can be
used for whiskey running: stolen cars
preferred. A minister of this city
recently had one Of the license plates
taken off his car while it was standing
in the street, but whether it was only
"kid trick" or whether the license
number was wanted to use on some
stolen car, he has no means of know
ing. Watch your car.

of the court house tonight at seven

an additional thrill by standing on his
head on top Of the building, hang by
his toes from rope ladder and few
other hair raising stunts. Everyone
will want to see these stunts which
will be pulled off at the court house
tonight at Z o'clock. The following is
what the Fargo paper had to say
about his work in Fargo recently
"Jack Hughes, "human fly" who has
never been "swatted," climbed up the
face of the Equity building yesterday
afternoon and gave hundreds of people
who watched the stunt thrills a plenty.
The. stunt was under the auspices of
the Disabled Veterans of Fargo and
was staged early in the afternoon at
the Equity building before the motor
cycle races at the fair grounds.
Hughes gave a thrill, extraordinary.
when, nearing the top Of the building
he swung out on rope.

On returning from the several days
visit to Minnesota Monday evening
Rev. A. Andreason left two suit cases
filled with clothing aand a hand bag

All Due to the Women.

In a lecture before the Royal In
stitute, Prof. Arthur Keith, an emil
nent biologist, gave the credit for
American success to. the women who
came over With the Pilgrim fathers.
The fact that these Englishmen
brought their wives with them is re-
sponsible for the remarkably sturdy
condition Of the American people /;
whereas the Spaniards who went into
Central and South America left their
wives behind, and the result is a
hybrid race which is not the equal Of
the original Iberian.
