7 TOMCAT kills
ALLIGATOR

In an artificial setting and before
large crowd of fascinated specta-
tors the jungle law OF tooth and
claw claimed a victim last night.
A baby alligator was the victim.
The baby gator was baskine
among ferns and other tropic vege-
tation in a florists window in the
1900 block of F st. N. w. Little
artificial streams trickled by and
goldfish were swimming in an
artificial lake.
Into this peaceful setting stalked
a high. savage looking tomcat. His
fur was shaggy. one ear had been
chewed off and there was a baleful
light in his yellow eyes. Passersby
began to stop before the window.
For a while the cat fished for
goldfish. Then he spotted the
alligator. With one leap he seized
the gator by the neck. The ALI.
gator fought back savagely, lashing
at the cat with his tail.
Women beat on the glass window
and implored men to stop the fight.
The store was locked and the cat
paid no attention to the disturbance
outside. The gator got weaker and
weaker and finally ceased to strug-
gle The cat began to feed.
Several women, weeping, fled
from the scene.

JAY WAL K.
PRACTICE
BANNED

An educational campaign
for pedestrians is to be started
by the Traffic Bureau within
the next few days, Major
Henry G.. Pratt, superinten-
dent of police, announced to-
day. The campaign will be
conducted by the personnel of
the bureau and will show the
pedestrian the right and wrong
way of passing through traf-
fic.
Major Pratt has been contem-
plating for some time seeking to
have a law enacted that will give
the police department. the same
control over pedestrians as it has
over traffic.
In other cities where ''jay walk.
ing'' laws are in effect, it has been
found, after a survey, that the
number of traffic fatalities to pedes-
trians have been reduced to a mini
mum.
The police head does not contem-
plate any drastic action against the
pedestrian who will walk against
traffic, but does hope through the
campaign to cut down the number
of mishaps to those who are care
less in making crossings where
traffic is heavy.
Traffic would be speeded up,
Major Pratt believes, and many
accidents would be avoided If pedes-
trians would observe traffic signals
more carefully. The campaign will
probably last about a month.

GOOD PROGRESS IS
MADE ON BRIDGE
AT WOLF POINT

Wolf Point.-Work on the Wolf
Point bridge across the Missouri
river is going on steadily under
the supervision of Supt. G. E. Fra
ser. Abutment "a" is completed
and on pier one the cylinders are in
place and all underground work
completed. Work was carried ON
here TO a depth of 80 feet. Pier
two is down 20 feet and work is
now in rock in the river bed. 1t is
hoped that work will be completed
on this pier base in the next four
days. Pier three is down "a feet
and work is progressing day and
night. Excavation is going on at
pier four and a depth of "a feet
has been attained.
Excavation work ror abutment
"B" on the south bank of the riv-
er is in progress and it is hoped
to finish it this week. 1t is expect
ed that steel for the superstruc-
ture will begin to arrive about the
middle of September. The outstand-
ing feature of the work, according
to Superintendent Fraser so far
has been the gratifying progress
made. Everything indicates that
the bridge will be finished ahead
of time.

SKULL IN CREEK

Pre- Historic Monster ROamed

About 100000 Years Ago, Say

Opheim, Aug. 26.-The main

Opheim and one mile into Canada.
C. M. Sternberg of the Canadian

ANOTHER EFFORT
M ABE BY ALIENS
TO BREAK JAIL

For Second Time Within Week
Bars IN Chinook Jail Are Sawed.
Chinook, Aug. 25.-The seven
aliens being held in the Blaine
county Jail for deportation to Can
ada appear to be getting FESTIVE,
having made another attempt at
saving their way out. The jailer
discovered one bar sawed through,
and the next one to it partly cut.
Since the escape of three men
last Sunday night the rest of the
jail inmates were more closely
guarded, and are confined within
the large cage that surrounds the
cells. 1t was the bars of this cage
that were sawed through in the
last attempt for liberty.
Sheriff G.. w. Fleming is of the
opinion that the men who escaped
Sunday left their saw behind in the
| Jail for the use of their compan-
ions. The cage and cells have
been thoroughly searched without
learning where the saw has been
secreted.
The sheriff is getting downright
peeved at the boys for saving his
perfectly nice Jail all full of holes.
Of course he had a mechanic in
with an acetylene outfit and they
patcehd up the bars so they're
good as new-but the fact remains
that his guests don't seem to APP
preciate his hospitality. The Jail
records bear out the statement that
he's been treating them pretty
nice. Item Seven pies for 13
men; item 2-two gallons of ice
cream for the same IS. And still
they want to get out.

ROOSEVELT co. TAX
LEVY 10 Il MILLS
LOWER FOR 1880

Wolf Point.-The county COM
missioners met last week in special
session to fix the tax levy for the
coming year. The levy this year
is considerably less than last year.
This is partly due to the fact that
the special 10 mill road levy voted
last year applied for only one year.
No levy is made for the bond in
terest fund. This is because there
is sufficient money in the fund at
the present time to take care of
this years interest. The general
fund levy has been reduced by two
mills and the sinking fund by one
mill. The levies for general school
and accredited high schools have
each been increased by two mills
and a five mill appropriation has
been made to take care of road

These animals lived in swampy

children to operate the family au-

the precautions necessary to pre-
vent disobedient sons and dauQh-
tiers from using the automobile or
else be liable for damages incurred
in the event of an accident. This
attitude was recently maintained
by Justice Charles Brown of Buff
falo, N. Y, when a plaintiff was
awarded $4,000 for being struck
and injured, according to informa-
ton reaching the National Automo-

refuse children permission to drive,
an automobile, but must actually
deprive them of the use of one, de-
clared Justice Brown.
