Reflection Starts
Ram on Ran, page.

Isle-Seeing his own reflection in a
basement window recently started a
ram on the warpath at the Charlie Rose
farm near here. The ram ploughed
through the window and into the base
ment where he denied the heavy steel
boiler and knocked over a five-gallon
can of cream. Members of the Rose
family captured him and soothed him
into state of manageability just as he
was getting warmed up. Lights are
now kept burning all day in the base
ment to destroy the mirror effect at the
windows in prevention of recurrence
of the assault.

Open Safety Pin Closed
In Youngsters Stomach

Alexandria Firmly entrenched as the
darling" Of st. LukeS hospital staff
here, seven months old Jackie Pennie,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Levin Pennie of
Willard, bills and COOS happily, quite
unaware of his near-catastrophe hin
dered by the physician who, without
opening the child;S stomach, closed an
open safety pin which was swallowed.
Mrs. Pennie left her son lying on a bed
when she was called from the room.
When she returned, Jackie was cough
ing as though he were choking. Slap
ping his back failed to bring about the
desired result, and when the coughing
continued, doctor was called. X
rays OF the baby's stomach showed that
an open pin was lodged in the upper
stomach. The outer wall of the
stomach was incised, the stomach COM
pressed and the pin closed thereby
This procedure eliminates the almost
certain danger of infection of a gang
renous nature, preventing anything
foreign to enter the wound. Aside from
normal gas pains, Jackie was reported
to be recovering the following morning.

Bus DriUer Acquitted
On Charge of Negligence

The state supreme court has upheld
three st. Louis county district court
verdicts denying a suit by Mrs Amanda
Becker for $10,242 damages in con-
nection with the auto-accident death Of
her husband.
Becker met death January Is, 1885,
between Virginia and Florenton on
Highway 1863, when the car he was
driving collided with a Northland bus
on stretch of road blurred by smoke
from burning brush piles.
The high court held that the question
of the bus drivers negligence was one
for the jury and upheld the acquittal
of Andrew Leviska, the driver, on that
grounds.
The burning of brush alongside the
road by r. Maturi, at the time of the
accident, also acquitted in the case, was
held by the court to be not of such
ultra hazardous character but that the
risk could have been eliminated by
careful driving.
The Northland Transportation COM
pany was the third defendant acquitted
in the case heard before ST. Louis
county district judge H. r. Grannis at
Duluth. On the final appeal point the
high court ruled that the courts charge
to the jury was found unprecedented and
therefore valid.
The case will be remembered by many
in this city Linemen on the way to
this section to repair some lines,
blinded by the smoke of burning brush,
collided with the bus driven by Leviska

Wedding License Helps
Obtain Fishing License

Bemidji-One license led to another
when beaming young couple came
into local hardware store to ask for
a fishing license. c. w. Richards got
out the licenses and prepared to make
one out for the applicants. But they
had nothing to identify them-nothing,
at least which would satisfy the law
which says that persons applying for
fishing licenses must have satisfactorily
written Identification. MIR Richards
wanted to give them the license, But"
he explained. The young woman flushed
prettily and said, wouldn't our mar
riage certificate do? It's outside in the
travelling bag" Leonard Backula of st.
Paul flushed too and got the certificate
all in order and very new. The hard
ware man handed them the fishing IL
cense, wished them luck and sent them
on their way.

heavy game with Virginia, went down
to defeat at the hands of the Gilbert

Fish Pole and Reel
Recovered From Lake

Bemidji-Walter Kimball of Grand
Forks who lost his fishing equipment
in what might have been a serious &C
cident on Lake Bemidji still has fishing
equipment although the vintage is I'M
certain. Mr.. Kimball felt a strong
pull on his line while fishing and when
he reeled in his line he found DIT was
connected to another line. Then came
into view a fishing rod which ap-
parently had been reposing on the bot
tom of Lake Bemidji for an indefinite
period. Attached to the split bamboo
pole was an old type reel which was
found to be in good working order and
a spinner. With his own equipment
at the bottom of the lake as the result
of the overturning of his boat a few
days later, Mr. Kimball now prizes his
find more highly than he did when he
first found it.

comes too early in the fall to do this
work.
The suggestion that all work be done
at one time is met with the statement
that the appropriations do not cover
such program. The Commercial Club
is making plans to send delegation of
interested parties to st. Paul to talk
matters over. This is in line with the
statements made at the Northern Min
nesota Good Roads Association meeting
at Cook several weeks ago when one
of the highway department heads sug-
gested such a procedure. 1.-The squeek-
ing wheel gets the grease"
County Commissioner Veranth is
doing all in his power to make it easier
to reach this section and is grading and
blacktopping the Moose Lake road south
of the city and Highway 81, distance
of IA miles in his district to furnish a
good road to Mesaba range points.
Many parties going and coming to
and from Duluth are using this route at
present and claim it in good condition.
The commissioner is concentrating work
on this road to keep it in good con-
dition and with the assistance of Com
missioner Murray, whose district covers
a large portion of this highway to the
range, this is anticipated.

TlUO Star Williams Cast in
"Prince and the Pauper."

Two of the professionally meaneSt
men in Hollywood-Claude Rains and
Barton MacLane- combine their talents
for skullduggery and double dealing for
the first time in 1.-The Prince and the
Pauper," the First National picture
which appears Saturday midnight, Sun
day and Monday at the State Theatre.
Rains, a meanie of long standing on
stage and screen, IS taking up right
where he left off in Anthony Adverse"
making things tough for little Billy
Mauch who played the role of the young
Anthony in that great picture, for he
again makes life miserable for the child
in this Mark Twain classic.
He has the role of the scheming,
scoundrelly Earl of Hartford who, &C
cording to the story, attempted to seize
control of England at the death of
Henry VIII by ursurping the post AS
regent to the youthful king. In the
mixup between young prince and
pauper, when they exchange clothes for
lark, Billy Mauch comes under his
sinister sway while his twin brother,
Bobby, who is the real prince in the
picture, narrowly escapes murder at the
hands of Rains hirelings.
MacLaine's villainy is not of such
long standing as that of the veteran
Rains, but he makes up for lack OF
experience in downright cussedness that
elevates his depravity to the same high
| level as his fellow plaver'S
In 1.-The Prince and the Pauper,'
MacLane is cast as John Canty, thief,
beggar, murderer and brutal bully of
the slums. He plays the role with a
gusto that earns his well deserved Kisses
from the audience.
AS the father Of little Tom Canty
| MacLane beats and miStreats Billy
Mauch and later makes life miserable
| for Bobby when the prince, in the
pauper boys clothes, is cast out of the
palace and mistaken by MacLane for
his own son.
With SO much villainy, there must OF
course be heroic avenger, and Mark
Twain provided him in the person of
Swashbuckling Miles Hendon, soldier OF
fortune, role which fits Enrol Flynn
like a glove. When he enlists on the
side of the outcast prince and his keen
sword starts flashing in vengeance, the
villains and prosecutors of the young
sters start falling like leaves in a
windStorm.
1t is a grand story-one beloved by
millions. William Keighley directed it.

from replied, "The bears have been
serenading us so frequently of late that
I didn't give it thought. Only three
nights ago, when we were working
in the photo room, the serenade brought
us out promptly and we saw nine bears
gathered around the incinerator, with
big Bruno on the top of it descending
into it to fill his mouth and alter

sought to share the scraps of garbage
Bruno was retrieving from the hot
Goals" Frankly, didn't expect the
bears to modest the bees until they had
