times daily. She has never been ill

Police Butt in on Fishing Party
While They Are Repairing
Their Stalled Motor Car on the
Road.

A great part of Thursday after
noon, June 8, was spent getting angle
worms by William D. Perry for fish
ing trip to Lake Victoria, with
Arthur Charleston, Hubert Strong,
Harry E. Thompson and Jonas Tay-
lor. The party started from Mr..
Perry's home, 439 Rondo St., about
a. m. Friday in Mr.. Charleston IS
car.
Trouble Starts.
When on the River Boulevard
drive between. Franklin and Marshall
Avenues, the Ford became indignant
and refused to run. Rather than be
outdone of the fishing trip, the men,
three of whom are mechanics, decid-
ed to turn this spot on the drive into
an auto shop. Upon sounding for
trouble, it was hit upon the theory
that the Ford had become over car
bonized. The direct and sure cure
for this would be to remove the mo-
tor head and scrape the carbon.
Police Arrive.
While in the role of mechanics
two Minneapolis gunsquad cars ar
rived upon the scene and charged the
party with drawn shot-guns. The
police wanted to know what it was
all about and SO did the boys. The
police stated that some one had
called in the station and reported
that car was being stripped on the
river drive, thus they came. After
an explanation was made by the boys,
of the situation, a carload of st. Paul
police who were dispatched to the
scene, drove up and helped to save
the day as they were acquainted with
Mr.. Perry. During all of this Mr..
Taylor was heard to say, "Ain't this
