R. J. HUGHES,
It seems that the girl, who,
with her father, lives in Fargo,
was lured by the guile and
blandishments of a handsome
traveling man into making the
trip to Kindred, Friday, in his
company. Braving the un
savory scandal of discovery,
they did not' return that night.
The father got an inkling of
the state of affairs, and so bur
dened with a righteous wrath,
and a vicious looking weapon
of the genus Colt, he started
for Kindred to make a horrible
killing.
Arriving at the little village
he met his daughter near the
depot. The scene which fol
lowed was a lively one, for the
girl, as papa had a straight tip
from Solomon about sparing
the rod and spoiling the child.
He was going to save the girl
if there was any virtue in cor
poral punishment, and then he
started to hunt for the gay,
deceiving Don Juan whom he
p.oposed making his pet target
for a few brief eventful seconds.
The traveling man had no
desire to meet him, however,
and took to the brush with an
alacrity that would make a jack
rabbit's haste look like an ama
teur's half-try.
Last night father and daugh
ter came back from Kindred
and the girl has promised to do
better.

An Irate Father Interviews a

A young girl's weakness and
a stern father's anger caused a
lively .scene at Kindred yester
day afternoon, and but for ,the
lively sprinting qualities of the
man in the case it is more than
likely that he would have been
wandering 'neath the lamp
posts in the new Jerusalem to

Notice.
