Gun Is Texans "Card;"
Doesn't Join "Wobblies''

New England, N. D., Aug. TO-
Here's my card" said one of four
Texans, drawing an impressive six
shooter, as he addressed sextet of
I. w. w. who had insisted that he
and his companions invest $3.50 each
for a red card and hold out for a
$3.50 wage. The Texan declared the
gun was all the card he intended to
carry in the future and that he was
not going to be forced to buy a
"Wobbly" card.
When the Texans companions
called at stores to buy arms they
were informed they needed neither
cards nor guns to work in New Eng
land territory and harvesting jobs
were soon found for them. The half
dozen "Wobblies" were given "a hours
in which to leave. They complied.

EMPORIUM Will
HOLD OPENING
next SATURDAY

The Emporium, ready-to-wear shop,
moved yesterday to the Baird Block on
Fourth street, the store building for
merly occupied by the J. C. Penney,
and will have its formal opening to
the public on Saturday, of this week,
when the public is cordially invited
to call and inspect the very latest in
ladies' apparel. Mr., Wilensky, the
proprietor, has just returned from the
east where he spent ten days in visit
ing the bog markets and purchas-
ing the big markets and purchas-
new store, and his big purchases have
been arriving by express daily since
his return.
His new stock includes the latest
styles and materials in Coats, Suits,
Dresses, Skirts, Sweaters, Waists
Hosiery and Millinery. His l,ue of
fall millinery is unusually large and
varied, and no matter how exacting a
customer might be she will be sure
to find just what she desires in his
stock. The other lines are also very
complete, and it is Mr.. Wilensky's in
tention to keep them complete at all
times, ordering new goods every few
days as new creations are placed on
the market.
The new location will give The
Emporium the necessary room for the
proper display of it's fine line of ladies'
ready-to-wear. Although a good stock
was carried at the old location, it
could not be properly displayed, nor
could as large stock be carried as
what is possible in the new place. The
new store opens with much larger
stock than what was carried at the
old location, and this will |be in
creased during the season as the oc-
casion demands until it is one of the
largest to be found in the city.
Mr.. Wilensky has been in business
here during the past ten years, and
his methods of doing business are we'll
known to our people. All of his custo-
mers, who have been trading with
him in the past are more than glad to
see him move to larger quarters and
increase his stock, as from now on he
will be able to give better service
than what was possible heretofore.
We opine that the opening day in the
new location will find the store pack
ed with people.

BEN JORGENSON

While in swimming with companion,
in Devils Lake, near the Odessa Stock
Farm, Ben Jorgenson was drowned,
Sunday afternoon. Though not defin-
itely known, it is thought that after
he stepped of ledge some forty feet
high, he was caught in an undercur-
rent and seized with a cramp, for he
was known to be good swimmer. His
friend named Kunz, went to his aid,
but the drowning man obtained such
a strangle hold on him, he was unable
to help him. Finally getting releas-
ed, Kunz rushed for aid, but when he
came back, Jorgenson was beyond
assistance. Because Of the high wind
the body had been washed almost to
shore.
Coroner A. E. Toomey was called
but an inquest decided unnecessary,
for the affair was purely accidental.
The body was brought to Devils Lake,
awaiting word from relatives, who are
a father and brother at Willmar,
MIMI, a sister Stella, at Colman, S.
D., the latter arriving on Wednesday,
and other relatives at Sioux Falls,
S. D.
Ben Jorgenson was born at Colman,
South Dakota, on Nov. ~, 1898. Since
coming to North Dakota he worked
for some time at Larimore, and for
the past year at the Odessa Stock
Farm for J. S. Kirk. A month ago he
took out an insurance policy in favor
of his sister, Stella.
1nterment will probably be at Col
man, S. D., where his mothQ. is buri-
ed. Until further arrangements are
made the body will lay in state at the
Toomey parlors.

Good Scores Made
at Golf Tourney

A successful tournament was play
ed on the local golf links Sunday,
tho the contestants worked under the
difficulties of a terrific winl and in
tense heat. Several low scores were
turned in Lloyd Stevens and Dona-
hue making it In 40, and DR.. Rhea and
William Nimmo in al. in the opening
round. This was accomplished in spite
of the wind blowing sand off the
greens, making putting difficult.
Two surprises were handed en-
thusiasts. Jimmy Donahue made a
40 in the qualifying round, and tho
It was thought he had no chance in the
match played against the older golf
1ers, ne came back with another 40,
but in spite Of stiff opposition, was
put out by Jay Stevens, one up.
Lloyd Stevens put Nimmo out, leav-
ing Jay and Lloyd Stevens to play the
final roun in the championship
match, Jay Stevens winning one up.
DR.. Rhea gave a second surprise to
the veterans, in the second flight.
He was stopped by Harry Kneeshaw
who defeated Rhea three up one to 60.
Harry Sielaff had trouble in the
qualifying round, but came back
strong in the third flight, which he
won easily.
Mrs. M. R. Mayer, the only woman
playing, did well, but was put out
by Kneeshaw in semi-finals.
Consolation flights were formed by
the four defeated players in the open
ing round Of each flight. Merrill
Flnch won the first consolation, DR.,
Smith the second, and Beissborth Sid,
Carl Nerhaugen managed the tourna-
ment.

BOYS ARRESTED
POLICE SOLVE
SUMMER THEFTS

The six boys, all under II, and resi-
dents of Devils Lake, who were ar
rested Friday night, charged with
burglary and grand larceny, waived
examination, in the hearing before
City Magistrate, D. G. Duell, and
were held to the district court to an
swer. The boys are out on $500 bail,
which was furnished in each case.
The arrests solved the thirty or
more robberies and attempted rob-
berries here within the past few weeks,
when the boys confessed to being i'm
plicated in twenty robberies in the
city during the summer.
Several cars, amounting in value to
$4,000, were in the list of thefts to
which the boys confessed. Fred P.
Mann's Willys-Knight sedan, which
was the only one with which they fail
ed to get away, got stalled just out
Of town, whereupon they broke all
the glass, and showed it into slough,
where it was found the next day. They
attempted to steal both the Caelillacs
belonging to John w. Maher; took
Floyd Fosters car out of the garage:
made an Unsuccessful attempt to
steal Martin Olsons' Buick, and stole
Sidney Bakers Buick, which was
found later, minus a couple of robes.
Several homes were broken into,
and considerable amount of valuables
stolen, which were sold. The High
School wireless apparatus was stolen
and sold for $40, but was recovered
since the arrest, having been sold to
boy On the west side. Large quanti-
ties OF liquor were among their tsefts,
and this they sold also. At one time
when one of their number was arrest.
ed for being intoxicated, the others
stole liquor and sold it to pay his
fine.
In robbing the residences, one boy
would ring and if any one answered
ask for some one not known to the
inmates. If no one answered he re-
ported the fact to his companions, and
they would enter thru the windows
While in DR.. D. D. McNaughton's
home, the Doctor drove up in his
car, but the boys succeeded in escap-
ing unnoticed thru window.
Two stores were also robbed, and
the police believe that they entered
the Quick Print shop some time ago.
Though it is probable the boys will
be sent to reform school, some other
punishment can be meted out.

MORE FIREWORKS
IN SPEC|ALT|ES
Further Remarkable Bulllsh
Demonstrate In All tho
Hlgh-Prlced Stocks

New York, Oct. 1S.-Operations and
price movement in today's stock market
furnished little in the way of novelty
from the performances of the immedi-
ate preceding sessions. The general list
remained in the same highly churned
condition as result of further SEN
sationnl upbiddlng Of the high priced
specialties and the continued irregu-
larity Of the main body of stocks.
AS a matter of fact, for the most
part Of the session the market became
one In which practically the only deal
ings Of any consequence were in the
high priced stocks. Most of the issues
prominent in the morning trading were
those with quotations ranging from
above 500 to far above 5000 share,
making stocks that in former times
classed as rich mems luxuries seem
cheap in comparison with the range Of
prices Of this same category prominent
in the current wild speculation.
The widest movement in the early
dealings was in National Biscuit, which
rose over II noints in the first fifteen
minutes; followed by jump in United
Fruit Of 6la points and in Ameri-
can Tobacco. TO this could be added
115 in American and Baldwin Locomo-
tive; in American Car and Foundry
! In Lorillard: 10 in Liggett 4 Myers !;
u in Fisher Body and in Atlas Powder
and International Harvester.
In the meantime the Mexican oils
gave, another exciting acrobatic stunt.
Mexican Petroleum after drop Of
over s points to 900. suddenly started
to soar again, running up II points to
q new high record for the year at 233.
There was similar wide tluctuation in
the Pan American Petroleum issues.
II was n market in which It would be
difficult to trace the slightest assoca-
ton with outside conditions, as the
eyes Of the speculative world for the
moment are completely hypnotized by
the gaudy Industrial stock dividend flag.
The appetite in this connection was
whetted by the overnight announcement
OF two additions to the list of Standard
Oil concerns which have moved In the
direction of capitalizing surplus. Va
CUM and Ohio Oil each announced
stock dividends of 300 per cent. and
with reduction IN par value to S25.

LOCAL TRADING
ALSO SPECIALIZED
American Gas and Eisenlohr
We're tho Stars Of the Ex-
citing Performance

The speciality movement appears also
to be developing in the local market
at rapid gait. 1t seems to be the
order of the day. While the general
run of favorites are relegated to the
background. speculative enthusiasm
breaks out among few selected Issues,
such operations generally being con-
fined to those shares either known to
some suspicion of concrete evidence of
impending developments outside of the
ordinary nature.
By reason of this newly assumed
fashion Of the speculative community,
as the movements In practically all
of the markets have virtually lost any
semblance Of investment character, sew
eral obscure issues monopolized the
spotlight during the entire session.
The two stars were American Gas and
Eisenlohr. The first named added AZ
points to the recent almost phenomenal
rise carrying the price to 81. which
naturally attracts more attention when
comparison Is made with low price of
- made in 1920 slump. The mysteri-
Gus upward movement in Eisenlohr
continued unchecked. elevating that
stock more than 3 points to new high
record for the current swing, at S4A.
On a smaller scale Electric Storage
Battery was in continued good demand,
advancing to 81, or within half point
of the recent high record price. Penn.
sylvania continued to be well taken at
4SR. Notwithstanding the rather freer
supply Of stock around the current quo
tation. There is said to be quite
good line Of stock to be marketed above
the 40 mark.
