But hunting Meadow Mice was great

The next Meadow Mouse he dis

a little later he caught two half

BY this time he was tired and very
hot. He took the two Mice in his

There had been no one to help him.
He had hunted them as Fox should

He was proud Of himself. Yes, sir.

But it was the right kind Of pride. 1t

his mother could see those two Mice
and know that he wasn't helpless,
even though she did forget him!

Errs, up to Judge

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 27.-A Judge
who feels that a jury has reached a
wrong conclusion should not hesitate
in awarding a new trial, declares the
North Dakota supreme court in re-
manding the case of Arthur G. Weber
back to the Bottineau county district
court for third trial. The case has

finding Weber the father of child
born out of wedlock.
Included in papers presented to the
supreme court was a statement of
c. W. Buttz, presiding Judge at the
district court trial, saying he was
convinced that the jury had reached
a wrong conclusion, that another man
was guilty Of the act, but that since
two juries had found Weber guilty
he did not feel that he should grant a
new trial. He indicated he felt his
judgment was to be subjected to the
judgment of "a men. The supreme
court, in an unanimous decision, or
ders the third trial and upholds the
right of the judge to grant new trials

kidnapping Baby
Laid to Husband

Mandan, N. D., Dec. 81 Mike
Berncotte, oil company agent at Self
ridge, N. D., has kidnapped his onw
daughter, aged 20 months, and has
taken her somewhere in his auto.
Thus charges Mrs. Berncotte in a
formal complaint filed in district
court here, charging wife abandon
ment, which may be amended to a
charge Of Kidnapping.
She says that while she was busy in
the kitchen, her husband took his
daughter, scantily clad, procured two
blankets and disappeared in subzero
weather. His auto was gone. All
search for the missing husband has
so far proved failure.
Mrs. Berncotte says her husband
was jealous of her and that he re-
Gently declared he would "rather see
the baby dead than see you have her."

MAY SAVE MANS HANDS

Mandan, N. D., Dec. 27.-Physi-
clans now believe that they will be
able to save the hands and part of
the feet, of Vern Townsend, Elgin
mail carrier who was badly frozen
when caught in a blizzard December
IL.
The man was on his regular tlip
when his car stalled. Being unable
to start the engine he attempted to
make his way to farm house, but
failing in this he returned to the car
and sat in it for several hours. When
found he was brought to the hospital
here where it was at first thought
necessary to amputate both hands
and both feet. The members have
yielded to treatments, however, and
it is now apparent that this will not
be necessary.
