r.. r. SINKLER
WILL NOT RUN

Minot, N. D., Sept. BE. R. Sink
ler of Minot, endorsed by the Non
partisan league to be candidate for
attorney general, at his office here
stated that he would not accept the
nomination, giving as his reason that
personal business would not permit
him to do so.
II am not unmindful of the honor
done me, nor do I forget the import
ance of the position of attorney gen.
eral in the industrial welfare of the
people of this state, but I am not
candidate for the office of attorney
general and will not accept the nomi-
nation, nor will permit my name to
be used, nor would accept the posi-
tion were it rendered me without a
campaign" said Sinkler.
II am not league, neither am !
an I. v. A. but I would like to see
the chasm which separates the city
from the country bridged over"

ON
FREIGHT SHOT
THROUGH LUNG

Shot through the right lung when
trying to pass FROM one freight car
to another on train pulling out of
Churchs Ferry, Tuesday morning Ed
Evans, transient, issin a serious CO.
ditto here at Geeral hospital. The
name of his assailant is not known.
The shooting occurred at about o.
clock Tuesday morning; several tran
sients were on the train which was
just leaving Churchs Ferry.
Evans and friend were in one box
car, and two other transients in an
other. Because the car he was in
was a coal car, Evans decided to en-
ter the next one, and was on the side
of the car, on the rods, trying to
open the door, when one of the men
in the car shot at him, SEEMINGLY with
out any provocation. The bullet pas
sed through Evans right lung, and
lodged in his back, from where it
has not yet been removed. Evans was
attended by a Churchs Ferry doctor,
who together with Will Hausman
brought him to Devils Lake.
Sheriff Elliott and Chief of Police
Timboe, who were then notified went
to Churchs Ferry, where, together
with the sheriff and chief of police
from Cando, they instituted search,
but no trace was found of the man
who did the shooting, for he jumped
off the train shortly after the affray.
He was Polander, according to those
who had seen him, of about 35 years
of age, square jawed, and he wore
gray cap and red sweater with a
roll collar under his jacket. It is
thought he is insane, for he said and
did things which would indicat de-
mented condition.
The seven Or eight men who were
on the train were placed under arrest
! at Cando, but will be released at
once, as they were held for witnesses,
more than anything else.
Evans has chances of recovery, if
infection does not take place, but the
danger of that is rather great.

Goldberg Ready -"
For Fall Trade

We doubt if there is another firm
in the city that bought heavier in
preparation for a big fall trade than
did ]. Goldberg Of the Goldberg Fur
niture store. During the past few
weeks several carloads Of furniture
arrived at this store and workmen
have been busy unpacking same. The
main floor of the store is now SO
crowded with up-to-date furniture
that there is hardly room in which
to turn around, and the warehouses
are filled up to the ceiling. The very
latest creations in all the new woods
and finishes may now be seen here,
and Mr.. Goldberg assures US that the
prices are much more reasonable than
one would suppose possible when the
quality and style are considered.

SUCCESSFUL FALL
OPENING AT MANNS

The fall opening at Mann's on Sat-
urday was attended by large and
appreciative crowd, and expressions of
admiration and pleasure regarding the
very attractive style show were
numerous. Exquisitely designed and
executed gowns, hats and wraps, Of
superior materials were displayed to
the best advantage on dainty living
models. Mems wearing apparel was
not forgotten, and smart over coats,
jaunty suits and the new things in
accessories were shown. An inter-
esting bit of the exhibit was the dis
play of very charming evening dress
on both men and women models, who
performed a brief dance in finished
style. The style show was given
on a raised platform near the center
Of the store, and was seen to good
advantage from nearly every part of
the floor.
Misses Everyl Hunter, Marie Bak-
er, and Ethel Page were the models
for the affair, and did their part
gracefully and we'll. Orchestra music
was furnished throughout the
afternoon. The counter from
which coffee al, cookies ycrt
served was extremely popular
testifying to the splendid qua
lities of both. The exhibit lasted fol
about three hours, and was an un'
doubted success from every view
pOint.

Sold Same Tires
For Seven Years

The Miller Motor Service Co. of
this city handled Racine automobile
tires during the past seven years, and
R. c. Miller, a member of the firm,
tells The World that during all of
that time he never saw a time when
he though it would be to his ad-
vantage to change to some other make.
The prices have always been as low as
the lowest, and quality always stood
up along with the best Of them. This
firm always carries very complete
line Of tires and tubes, large enough
to take care of the trade, but not
any larger than what can be renewed
every few weeks so fresh tires are
constantly kept on hand

Brown Makes
Truck Farm Pay
Big Dividends

w. H. Brown, who during the past
seven years has conducted truck and
dairy farm three miles south Of the
city, has clearly demonstrated than an
enterprise of this kind will pay
big if it is given the proper
amount of attention, and we do
see why others do not engage in the
same line of work. A truck farm
does not require large investment,
it provides sure and steady income,
and the only Objectionable feature of.
it is that it requires a lot of work.
Work was never known to hurt any,
one, according to Mr.. Brown, and in
truck farming here a person is paid
big for every bit of work he does.
Mr.. Brown has patch consisting
of about 80 acres of lake bottom
three miles south of town on which
he raises several acres Of potatoes
each year, large patches Of tomatoes,
cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, car
rots, beets, etc. About the only COM
petition he has is with the potatoes,
but ne usually has all Of his crop
sold during the summer at big price
before the other fellows start dig
ging theirs. Of the other truck he
brings in from one to three and four
loads every day to the stores and res
taurants in the city, and the only
trouble he experiences is 30 get the
tr11cL is fast enough tn sunplv the de-
mand. He is conducting the only
truck farm of any consequence in the
Lake region, and it has been paying
him bigger than anything he ever
undertook in the past. Mr.. Brown
only uses a small part of his land
for truck purposes, and the balance is
used as pasture. He also raises some
corn each year, and during more re-
cent years has also put in some alf-
alta and sweet clover to provide feed
for his dairy cattle during the winter.

CANADIAN BORDER
CITIES ASTIR OVER
PRESENT CRIME WAVE

Esteven, Sask., Sept. 13.-Canadian's
border cities are all astir about the
crime wave which is sweeping over
them, carrying with it exploded bank,
vaults, stolen automobiles, ravished
whiskey, caches, arson and various
other smaller law violations, accord
ing to reports reaching here.
Canadian authorities are baffled
over the operations of a gang of
yeggs in either North Dakota OF
Montana.
The marketing season for wheat
brings with it large additions to tine
funds of country banks, and at the
same time additions to the number of
transients who are looked upon with
favor in census years, but with mis-
givings during the rest of the de-
cade.
From all parts of the dominion
bordering along the central states Of
the United States, come reports of
rifled bank vaults, and vanished
thousands, despite the elborate po-
'licing system, overlapping, jostling
and sometimes confusing.
Garages here and there are found
in the morning with doors standing
open and an empty stall where the
night before stood a proud former
whiskey six.
Estevan thus far has not been
bothered by the yeggmen, but reports
Of additional daring robberies con-
tinue to reach here. At McGregor,
Man., then at Rouleau, Bromhead,
Carievale, Yillarnie, Man., and Fore.
most, Alberta, all with varying sue
cess, the yegg gang has operated
and evidently departed to new fields.
The list of cases of automobile steal
ing now in the hands of the police OF
the town and district is long one
In addition to the number of cars
which have disappeared utterly from
the garages in Estevan, Bienfait, and
elsewhere, there have been several
cases clearly traceable to the spirit
of vandalism and deviltry among the
youths of the villages.

FEATHERS WILL
FLY SATURDAY

Next Saturday is the day on which
the open season for shooting ducks
and chickens starts, and from present
indications every person who has a
gun or is able to borrow or steal one
will be out in the field or swamp
burning powder. While there appears
to be game enough in the country to
give every person the limit allowed by
law the first day, County Auditor
Kramer tells us that from the way
hunting licenses are being issued at
his office it may be that the ducks
may be outnumbered two to one, by
hunters in some sections Of the
county, but that in such cases there
are always plenty of chickens to fall
back on.
The hardware stores in the city are
enjoying heavier trade in guns,
shells and other equipment than
they have for number of years,
and it appears that many people who
had not hunted a number of years
are arranging to go out this season.
The Smell Hardware, Manns, O'Brien
Bros, Adams Hardware and c. P.
Brainard all prepared for heavy
trade in hunting equipment this sea-
son, all made big displays in their
windows, and all assure us that their
sales have already been much larger
than they expected, although there
are still several days before the sea-
son opens, and the biggest trade US
ually comees during the last two days
before the opening day.
The chickens are especially numerous
no matter where person might go,
they having increased in numbers very
rapidly since the use of bird dogs
was prohibited. The crows which are
protected on the game reserve an
nually destroy hundreds of nests of
chickens and grouse, but in spite of
this the game birds appear to be
holding their own even On the reserve
and on the Indian reservation. The
crows live principally. on the nests
Of game and song birds,an were
some means devised Of destroying
these pests, the chickens could in
crease several times as fast as they
arenow doing.
No matter where a person may go
he will find the shooting sgood the
first day. The best hunting, how
ever, will be later in the season after
the ducks and geese start migrating
south and start congregating here
in the lakes in large numbers.

SOME CORN ALREADY IS

Corn here is maturing at a very
rapid rate, and one can go into most
fields and pick nice we'll developed
mature corn. Some fields are al
ready all ripe, and people here will
have absolutely no difficulty in OBJ
tanning all the home grown seed they
need for the coming year. It is doubt
full if there is much mature corn yet
in either Illionis or Iowa.
