Youth Pleads
Guilty; Gets
Prison Term

A collision with milk truck two
weeks ago is the reason why Joe
Wilson, Minneapolis youth, is now
serving a term not to exceed three
years in the St. Cloud State Re-
formatory.
The auto crash which caused Will
son and white youth by the name
of O'Brien's arrest occurred early
one morning two weeks ago. The
car, stolen Chevrolet, crashed
broadside into a milk truck, over
turning the truck completely. Ar
rested at the scene of the crash was
Warren Breeding, 561 9Th Ave. N,
who was seriously injured. Wilson
and O'Brien both escaped when the
accident occurred, but were picked
up later by police and admitted
theft of the car and burglaries of
over 100 places in the Twin Cities
during the past ten months. Breed
ing was exonerated by both boys
who admitted that he had been
picked up by them for a ride, and
that he was not told that they had
stolen the auto in which they were
riding at the time of the crash.
The two youths appeared be-
fore District Judge Arthur Selover,
who passed a sentence of one to
three years on each of the youths.

ThrOng
Triangle Clubs
Harriet Picnic

A news story carried in this paper
last week predicted that the Twin
City Triangle club picnic held at
Harriet Island last Monday would
be the seasons biggest picnic. It
was just that. In fact, it was the
largest picnic ever given by the
local group in the Twin Cities at
Harriet Island, popular st. Paul
public playground.
The crowd came early and re-
manned late. Features of the day
were games for old and young and
a diamondball game between Min
neapolis girls teams, the Sumner
Field Phyllis Wheatley players VS..
the Norris Creamery players. The
game began quite late in the eve
ming and had to be called on ac-
count of darkness with the Norris
Creamery team winning by a de-
cisive score. At night the bathing
beauty contest was won by Miss
Barbara Coleman, who was
awarded first prize by judges. Miss
L. Lashley won second prize.
The judges in the contest were
Mrs. H. Cotton, B. F. Embree, Mrs.
Addie Few, John Williams, and II.
E. Cox. Judging in the contest was
hampered by the large crowd which
was exceedingly unruly but good
natured. 200 couples enjoyed the
dance music dispensed by Monroe's
Coloradians, while many others
spent their time socializing with
old friends and enjoying the re-
freshments served by men and
women members of the Triangle
club.
The unusual thing about the pic
mic was the fact that large crowds
were present despite the threaten
ing weather which all day long al
ternated between sunshine and
clouds. The temperature that eve
ming struck a new low, but did not
