FAMOUS .NicKNAMEs
1.-THE LITTLE CORPORAL"

It would be dufte easy for most of us to run off long lists. of nicknames that have been applied to eminent men, yes, very few of us know the incident re- spohsible for, them, For. instance, take the case of Napoleon Bonaparte; nor
 did he acquire the name of '"The Little CorporaY'? It was the result of the ter rible passage of the Bridge of. Lodi which was responsible, the nickname being a spontaneous and loving tribute from his soldiers .s.,,.s.. ,-
 Napoleo9's personal bravery at Lodi, and his headiness to share the danger,
 made. a profound impression or. his troops, and when he next appeared among them. following the 'terrlple passage" as he himself called it, he was greeted by all with shouts of Long live the Little Corporal" The famous battle of. Lodi was fought on May 10, 1796. In the face of an army
 of sixteen thousand strong, and twenty pieces. of artillery ready. to rain a tor rent of iron on the bridge Napoleon de 1 terfnired to pass. Behind the walls of 1 the town of Lodi the French, army wsss | sheltered. Napoleon, under fire, went out | to the. bank of the river, to explore the
 ground and to form his plans. Returning
 he selected sixteen thousand grenadiers
 and to these he spoke brief words of praise and encouragement, holding them
 ready, screened behind the houses of. the I town; ready, to dash for the bridge at

THE WILD CARRor CROP.

As you go through the country tilese days you cannot fail to note the ex- cellett crop of wild carrot that is to Be found, some fields being So fl1ed with it as to indicate that, it was being culti- vated for some good purpose.
 Possibly, if you have good luck you will come across. a field where tane nov CTS, have been at.work, where what might have been wtndrows of hay is irl- dicatsd by only the cfaSted remains showing that it had been deMberately Set afre.

WATER WHEEL
WORK STREAM,
/ SUBMERGED
Draws Power From Liquid as
Windmill Does From Wind
and Breeze.

Demonstration of a device with
which the inventor, A. Weisenborn Of
Great Falls and Seattle, claims to have
solved the ancient problem of effect
ually Harvesting the tide of the ocean
and the current of the streams by
means Of a submerged water wheel,
was begun Tuesday morning on the
east bank of the Missouri river, near
the First avenue north bridge. The
invention is a water driven motor, or
pump, and draws its power from the
water as the windmill operates in the
wind-the wheels facing the current.
Z. L. Lyman OF Cascade, who is as
ISOLATED with Weisenborn in handling
the machine here, said that the limit
of its power is measured only by the
volume and current of the stream in
which it is installed. Any number of
wheels can be rugged either abreast or
tandem and the greater efficiency is
realized when the wheels are wholly
submerged. The inventor claims that
the machine is the first that ever dis
proved the theory that q submerged
water wheel a produce little or no
power.
Weistnborn represents, Lyman said,
that he has received a cash offer of
aiJ',cbO Iol TIE patent anu nat uC
now is negotiating sales with one on
Germ that would total $4,000. 1t IS
the intention to manufacture the de-
vice in Great Falls and arrangements
have been partially completed with the
Mclean foundry for that purpose.
The model in operation here has
wheels 800 inches in height and rests
on the bed of the river, but in prac-
teal use the machine is floated on a
pontoon that is anchored after the
wheels are submerged and in proper
current of a stream, according to Ly-
man.
Weisenborn is of a family of in
ventors. He is a grand-nephew of
Elias Howe, the inventor of the sew
ing machine, and has been granted pat
ents on a number Of inventions.

ACCUSE FATHER
OF KIDNAPPING
FAVORlTECHlL
Divorce Granted to Mother by
Default, Both Wanted
Boy. in Question.

James B. Grant, Highwood railroad
worker, was arrested in Great Falls
Tuesday afternoon on a charge of kid
naping his three year old son. Tues
day night the youngster spent the
night with his daddy in the county jail.
Grant was held in default of $4,000
bail on a warrant issued by Justice of
the Peace P. J. Shields, on a complaint
sworn out in his court by Deputy
County Attorney J..J. Wuerthner. He
was arrested shortly after his arrival
in Great Falls with his son Tuesday
afternoon from Highwood.
Mary G.. Grant was granted a d.
vorce from Grant by District Judge II.
III. Ewing last Friday on the grounds
of desertion and ~non-support. He did
not contest the divorce action. Mrs.
Grant retained c.. w Murch of the
firm of Murch Wuerthner as her
attorney .
Thinks Headed for Canada
TUESDAY Mrs. Grant ~telephoned
Murch from Highwood that Grant had
left Highwood with her youngest boy
and that she believed that he was go
ing to take the child to Canada. Murch
called the sheriff's office for an offic-
er. Deputy Sheriff Guy Palagi ac-
companied Murch and they We're at
the station when the Highwood train
came in. But Grant wasn't there. He
was arrested a few minutes later on
a street car near Falls Yard station.
A little kid with yellow hair was with
him.
Grant and the youngster were tax
en- to the sheriff's office in the court
1890 [,---x .a4,oJ ID IInct az
his attorney.
His action in taking the child came
as a reaction of a period Of domestic
u~nhappiness and misunderstanding,
Grant said. His wife had started di-
yorce proceedings against him in Aug
ust and he did not attempt to inter
fere with her action beyond an effort
TO adjust their differences and effect
a settlement that would not necessl-
tate her getting a divorce, he SAID.
Meanwhile she continued to live apart
from him, taking with her from their
home her infant baby. -Four other
children were supported by him, Grant
said. and three of them are now going
TO school in Highwood. He made ar
rangements to have them remain
there during the winter and go to
school while he worked on the sec
ton gang TO earn enough W SupPoh'
them, he said.
Both Wanted Youngster
When he learned that his wife had
obtained a divorce he returned to
Highwood to see what she intended to
do about the children, he said. She
wanted the three-year-old son, Victor,
with the yellow hair, he said. Grant
also wanted the youngster and sad
So he quit his job On the section; took
the child and left Highwood. He in
tended to go into the woods and work
this winter and send money to sup
mort the other three children in High
When Palagi asked the child if he
wanted to be taken. back to his ma
ma the youngster said, No, I'd rath-
er stay here with daddy"
So arrangements were made in the
county jail to have the child remain
over night with his daddy.

Smoke Kills Chickens
When Fire Breaks Out
Close to Their Roost

Eighty-four chickens belonging to
John Bowers, jailor of the first night
relief at the city Jail, We're killed in a
chicken house fire on the Bowers
place, 314 Eighth avenue south, early
Tuesday morning. Most of the chick
ems WEI ekilled by smoke according to
Fire Chief A. J. Trodick.
The fire broke out along a fence in
the chicken yard about 10 feet away
from the chicken house. The fire
spread to the chicken house and de-
stroyed part of the building before the
arrival of the city fire department. The
flames were soon extinguished, but
only two chickens escaped from the
burning building.
The damage to the building was es-
timated by Bowers to be about $25.
Measured in legs for breakfast" the
chickens were very valuable, Bowers
said. He was too fond of them to
place an estimate on their value, he
said.
The rural wealth per capita in Can
ada is about $500.
