in connection with some criminal pro-
ceedings involving the violation of Ger
tain automobile regulations, the latter
resisted, and when Chief of Police
Ed. Gowan came to the assistance
of Schueller, both officers were fercely
attacked by a crowd Of Berkner's
friends who { had packed the i court
room and were apparently, organized
to intimidate the officers and thwart
the orders of the court. In the sun-
equal tussle both officers were badly
bruised and scratched, when officer
MCGOWAN pulled a revolver, which
cooled the ardor Of the attackers, and
restored. a semblance of order. Berkner
was fined $50 for contempt Of court
which he paid, after which he was put
under bonds to answer to several cri-
minal charges including resisting an
officer and threatening an officer.
Trouble Started Saturday.
/ The trouble started Saturday when
Chief Of Police Ed. MCGOWAN under
took to arrest Berkner's 14-year old
son for driving a truck without a
license, which he persisted in doing in
spite of repeated warnings from the
officer. When MCGOWAN proceeded to
take the young offender, the father
interfered and pulled the officer from
the running board of the truck in which
the son was seated, and ordered the
latter to drive out in the country.
After the latter started to, drive the
officer again jumped on the running
board and attempted to stop the truck
in order to take young Berkner into
custody. VIM. Roberts who was riding
with young Berkner then took the
wheel and started out into the country
with the officer attempting to bring
the truck to stop After getting out
about a mile and finding it impossible
to bring the machine to a stop against
the resistance of the two occupants,
MCGOWAN jumped from the machine
and returned to town. Warrants were
sworn out for the arrest of Ed. j..
Berkner and VIM. Roberts for inter
fering with an officer.
In the meantime, Ed. Berkner also
left town, all three remaining out Of
town until today at II A. M. when
they drove into town and Immediately
proceeded to,the office of the Municipal
Judge where large crowd had al
ready assembled in anticipation Of

f, Pete" Fischer's pavilion has been
ordered closed by Judge I. M. Olsen
during the pendency Of an action which

to abate the pavilion permanently. Mr.,
Fischer has been conducting the Oh.
jectionable dancing pavilion for, the
past few years on q license from the
town board. Among other provisions
the license stated that no dance should
be held on the Sabbath.
Fischer Violates License.
1T was found, later that Fischer had
disregarded this clause on a number. oi
occasions, whereupon the license was
revoked by the board, and the. right
to conduct dances ION the pavilion was
forbidden. Mr. Fischer regarded the
matter very lightly and his pavilion
continued to be the scene Of revelry
several nights each week. Their in
junction having been violated, the
town board sought to employ more
effective method. fof dealing with the
law-breaker. Through their attor-
neys, Mueller &. Streissguth, the plain

and restraining Mr.. Fischer from con-
Quoting public dances. The hearing
was set for last ednesday.

Turks Seek Hoppers, Not Farmers
Grain

Fargo, N. D.-Charges of petty lar
ceny against scores of North Dakota
turkeys that fit themselves annually
for the Thanksgiving Day sacrifice
by foraging in grainfields must be
withdrawn, following substantial
proof that turkeys seek insects and
not grain on their foraging expedi-
lions, according to o. A. Barton, poul-
try specialist, Agricultural College,
who commented today on results Of
Investigations about what turkeys
eat.
"There is the added proof furnished
by Charles Hoffman of Palermo,
stated Mr.. Barton, "who killed tur-
key for dinner last fall and whose
curiosity led him to open and to ex-
anime the TOMS crop. The turkey
was one Of a flock that had had free
range on a large grain field. In the
crop were found. the remains Of 24O
grasshoppers, so black crickets, and
9 kernels of grain"
Turkey raising has developed into
profitable sideline on many North
Dakota farms, according to Mr.. Bar
ton. One, Of many examples during
the past year is the record Of Lewis
Long of Bantry, N. D., whose turkey
crop of last year yielded an income
of 500 for each individual of the orr
ginal flock in spring.
