Sheriff Walks II
Miles on "Trdil. "

Red Wing-The fact that he had
walked II miles for nothing didn't phase
Sheriff Lenus Olson, the fact that 1t
was all a hoax didn't bother him a
great deal, the fact that he was rather
tired and hungry didn't matter much
because he knew that a comfortable
fireside and a hot dinner were await
ing him, but when police officers iran
off" and left him stranded near Trenton
that was the proverbial straw that
broke the camel's back. 1t all hap
pened when the sheriff and police were
searching for the supposed bandit who
had "held up" a st. Paul taxi driver.
Looking for footprints, the sheriff went
over hills and dales and through
marshes. When he returned to the
place where he had left the other Of
ficers, they were gone. A man hap
pened to pass a short time later and
gave Sheriff Olson ride to Red Wing.

to American People.

The Chevrolet Motor Company today
offered its thanks TO the American
people for having given the company
the greatest year in its history by buy
ing 1,l3O,O00 new 1896 Chevrolets.
In display advertisements printed in
newspapers throughout the country,
Chevrolet is expressing its appreciation
for the warm friendship of the Ameri-
can people, which enabled the company
to break all previous marks for domestic
production and sales.
The Thanksgiving offering is con-
sidered unique in industrial advertising,
but Chevrolet has done it in the past.
The company has depended largely on
the newspapers of the country In es-
tablishing it's all-time records in selling
not only an unprecedented number of
new passenger cars and trucks during
1886, but also in moving two million
used cars at the same time.
The advertisement, appearing today,
declared in part: '"The builders Of
Chevrolet are thankful for many things,
but most of all for the warm friendship
of the American people.
"AI we can say is, Thanks million
for more than a million cars in 1896;
and all we can do is offer you the still
finer Chevrolet of 1887 in return for
the finest friendship ever bestowed upon
any motor car manufacturer.

Wolves Attack Livestock.

Grand Rapids-Wolves will be a seri-
Gus menace to unprotected livestock and
to deer this winter, If a recent ex-
perience Of James K. Knight of Effle is
an indication. Three wolves attacked
a three year old Guernsey heifer be-
longing to Mr.. Knight and so lacerated
the animal that it had to be killed
While the dead heifer was being
dressed, one of the wolves returned to
learn what had happened to his quarry
and luck shot in the ear killed him
The wolf was one of the large Siberian
timber wolves, weighing IS pounds. Mr.
Knight has the bounty and hide of the
wolf as partial compensation for the
loss Of his heifer.

Chases, Catches
Gasoline Bandit

Alden-The act of borrowing gas
oline did not prove worthwhile for the
man who attempted it at Alden, for
the filling station attendant chased and
caught the bandit and received his
money. The man who tried to borrow
the gasoline, parked his car near fill
ing station, where he secured a gas can
and two gallons of gasoline. He pointed
to his car and said he, would take the
gas there, put it in his car and then
return the can and pay the station at
tendant. He put the gas in the car, but
did not return with the empty can or
the money. The station attendant who
witnessed the incident, Immediately
jumped into a car parked beside the
pumps and started after the bandit.
When the latter was "collared,'' he said
he had intended to drive only a few
miles into the country and then return
in a short time to pay for the two gall
Ions of gas and to fill his tank

1886 TRAFFIC
DEATHS RISE
Fatalities to Children of Grade
School Age Increase During
Year in State.

An alarming increase in traffic ac-
cident deaths of children of grade
age in this state was revealed today by
A. ". Rohweder, Duluth, chairman of
the Minnesota Public Safety Committee.
Citing a need for additional caution
on the part of motorists and increased
educational activity by parents and
safety leaders, Rohweder said that
fatalities among children from to IA
years old as of November / of this year
eQualed those for the entire twelve
months of 1895.
1.-THE traffic deaths among children of
this age totaled 38 for 1885," he said
Reports received by the committee for
accidents throughout the state up to
only November of this year showed am
equal number of fatalities"
Roweder pointed out that no deaths
occurred while the children We're under
supervision of school patrols. The ma
tority of the fatalities resulted while
the children were at play in the streets
Others were caused by automobile BIZ
cycle collisions.
THE situation is one that needs seri-
GUS consideration" he said. Rohweder
asked that motorists exercise extra
caution while driving in residential dis.
tricts where children may be at play
He also emphasized the danger of fast
driving through alleys into which
children may dash from back yards
Although it may prove a problem in
some cases, parents will avert many a
tragedy if they will forbid their children
from playing in the streets and alleys
The streets should not be used for
coasting in the winter, nor should they
be the scene of ball game in the
summer"
Referring to the deaths among child
rem riding bicycles, he praised ordin-
ances adopted by some cities licensing
bicycles and setting standards for
equipment. The Minnesota traffic &C
cident picture, the committee chairman
added, is none too bright.
The first ten months of this year
brought 524 deaths, as compared to 495
for the same period of 1885.
I'm october of last year, IA persons
died." he said. 1.-THE deaths for the
same month this year totaled n and 1t
is likely that additional October fatal
tiles will be reported to the committee. u
