DEER DENTS AUTO
BUT DIES AS RESULT

AutoiStS will soon have to oper-
ate in self defense on the country
roads in Pine county if deer con-
tinue their onslaught against mo-
tor vehicles in the manner they
have during the past year, which
time has seen several cases re-
ported.
Added to other similar cases
where motorists have suffered
collisions with the fleet footed
forest inhabitants another deer
auto crash has been reported.
This time when Buick sedan
driven by Ralph Wahlquist and
occupied by Vivian, his sister, L.
G. Wahlquist. Dorothy, Abigail,
and Herbert Berger of Chicago,
was traversing the stretch of road
between Bruno and DanfOrth last
Thursday a large four-pointed
buck deer jumped from the brush
and crashed into the rear end
causing considerable damage to
the body of the car and killing
himself. The car was travelling
approximately 35 miles per hour
when the 250-pound deer struck
and was pushed over 2 or 3 feet
by the impact. The rear bumper
inflicted a wound in the breast of
tho deer which il is thought,
caused his death within a very
few feet of the scene of the acct
dent. Game Warden Sheridan
Greig was notified.

EBERT is CAUGHT
OUT IN CALIFORNIA

The daily newspapers reported the
other day that John w. Ebert, former
Hinckley attorney, who disappeared
so suddenly two years ago, had been
arrested in Death Valley, California.
This means that the wheels of the
federal court will once again begin
grinding in the case of a distillery
discovered near Pine City, two years
ago.
Ebert, the last of group to be ar
rested, is charged with conspiracy to
violate the federal prohibition law.
He posted $1,000 bonds at the time
of his arrest and then disappeared.
The others indicted in the case have
appeared in federal court, one plead
ing guilty and others not guilty.
The entire case was held up pending
the apprehension of Ebert after he
failed to appear in court
He will be brought to Duluth for
arraignment Aug. 26. The others
will probably be ordered before the
court at that time. Indicted with
Ebert was his wife, Grace, Robert
Kennedy, alias r. L. MCGUIRE, David
Weinstein, Fritz Molonofshy, alias
Ben Crener, Thomas E. Martin and
Robert Cook. Molonofshy pleaded
guilty and the others not guilty.

ABOUT CREOLES
New Orleans Is Stirred In
Hunt For Derivation
OF Word

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 15.-tP-
Calvin Coolidge started something
when he asked a group Of New Or
leans Creoles what was the word
~Creole."
'It means a child born OF pure
bred French or Spanish parents IN
n new world colony" mi Of them
explained
II know, but what is the deriva-
ton Of the word?" inquired the
former president.
"why, er-" and they looked from
a to another. None OF them knew.
they agreed to find out and let him
know the origin OF their own, par
ticular and distinct word.
So they went to reference books
and sent him this:
"Creole-a descendant OF white
people, born in Mexico. South Amer
lea and the West Indies. Derived
from Spanish word crado, a SER
want. Criado turned into criadillo,
then creole, and finally creole"
Now the Creoles are wondering
how this word, which is the Hall
mark in Louisiana of high breeding,
education, and SOCIAL grace, ever had
such a low derivation.
