William Bechtel of Michigan City, N.
D., arrested a week ago by the local
police on a charge of elopement and
later returned to Michigan where he
was forgiven by his wife, has again
eioped with 16-year-old Emma Brooks.
At the time of his arrest he was dis
missed,
hiB
wife refusing to appear
against him. After remaining a few
days at home, he came to this city,
met Miss Brooks again, and loft pre

Miss Brooks, whose home is in Hen
drum, Minn., met Bechtel at Michigan
where she visited a sister for several
weeks. A sister and brother of the
girl were here yesterday in search of
her. They intend to take her
borne. If Bechtel is arrested again, it
is likely that the case will be prose
cuted to the limit.

Passenger Trains From the East
Broaght the First Signs of
Approaching Winter.
Passenger trains, both on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific run
ning into the city on Saturday night
gave the people of this city the first
glance of winter in all its whiteness.
On Saturday afternoon and night
southern Minnesota was visited by the
first snow storm and trains going east
and west gathered considerable evi
dence of the same. Windows were
frosted over, vestibules were coverea
with a mantle of snow and passen
gers looked with lowering eyes at the
first real touch of the long monoton
ous months of winter.
A freight train on the Northern
Pacific going north yesterday morning
also displayed the signs of winter.
Several box cars with doors open
wide were drifted up and steps and
roof projections were clothed with
the raiment of winter. From now on
the residents of North Dakota can
look for winter and snow at any
moment. By the first week in Novem
ber ponds and lakes will be frozen
over and ice will have begun to form
at the river banks. Navigation on
the Red river out of this city closes
about the 10th of November and opens
about the last of April.

A ROIiSER, FOR
Large Turn-Out of Voters At
tended Up-County G. O. P.
Meeting.
ENTHUSIASM IS SHOWN
Hon. T. F. McCue, Carrington,
and Jas. Twamley, the
Speakers.
The republican rally at Manvel
Saturday night was one to make the
souls of the great leaders of the party
feel happy even in their graves. The
speakers were Hon. T. F. McCue, the
brilliant candidate for attorney gen
eral, and James Twamley of this city,
one of the old republican war horses
who has smelt the powder smoke on
a hundred political battle fields. For
more than two hours they gave the
immense crowd which had gathered
to hear the political issue discussed,
arguments, facts, figures and reasons
which proved that. the democratic
party had never in the history of the
country done any thing which did not
work a disaster to the nation. As the
telling points were made the welkin
actually rang with the hurrahs which
were given by the enthusiastic crowd.
There will be no laggards in that part
of the county, and when election day
comes the democracy will have about
as much chance in that part of the
county as the proverbial snow ball.
In fact some of the democrats who
attended the meeting stated that the
democracy in this state would have
to learn enough politics to be able to
meet the republican arguments with
facts instead of bombast and moon
shine If it could ever hope to have
even a respectable party organization
preserved, much less to ever carry
the Btate.

Oakes Man Says Daughter's Husband
Snatched Hatchet from Big
Warrior.
W. B. Wrangman of Oakes IB ex
hibiting a relic of Sitting Bull in the
shape of a small hatchet. He says
the weapons belonged to his daughter,
Mrs. Olive Mitchell. Her late hus
band took the hatchet from underneath
the big warrior, just after he fell, fa
tally wounded at the hands of the
government soldiers in his shack near
Fort Yates about a dozen years ago.
The piece is nothing out of the ordi

remarkable thing about it is the fact
that fifteen notches have been cut In
the back part of the steel, showing
how many men the old chief had
scalped during his lifetime.

THEY MUST SLACKEN SPEED
Chief I/owe After Automobile Speed.
—Autos Without Lights Are
Common.
Of late Chief Lowe has been deluged
with complaints from
different
por­
tions of the city relative to automo
biles speeding down the streets and
boulevards at a faster clip than the
law allows. How much cause or jus
tiiteation there is in the complaints
cannot be learned, but Chief Lowe
wishes to call the attention of each
individual driver and impress upon
the mind just what the specifications
call for. Many machines are being
driven about the city after nightfall
without lights or other signals. This,
also, is contrary to the city ordinances
as follows:
Ordinance.
Passed
July
10, 1905.
Section 1. No automobile shall be
operated upon any street by any per
son under 18 years of age, nor until
such vehicle be registered with the
city auditor.
Sec. 2. Every automobile or motor
cycle operated upon said streets shall
be provided with a suitable bell or
horn and driver of car must ring
blow such bell or horn at street inter
sections and upon meeting other veh
icles.
Sec. 3. Every such automobile shall
be provided with lamps, each auto
mobile to be provided with two such
lamps and all shall be kept lighted
when such automobile is on the
streets before sunrise and after sun
set.
Sec. 4. No automobile shall be
driven at a greater speed than 8 miles
an hour.
This last section seems to be the
one most generally broken by the
speeders and Chief Lowe stated to the
Evening Times man today that he had
instructed the police department to
arrest all drivers found running faster
than the prescribed limit of 8 miles
an hour.

FROM TRIP TO THE CITIES
Asphalt and Cresote Looked
Up Thoroughly—Meeting
Soon.
The joint committee of the Com
mercial club and the city council
which went to St. Paul and Minne
apolis last week to investigate the
matter of paving, has returned. The
committee investigated two classes ol
pavement—the asphalt and the creo
sote blocks—and spent some time
looking up the sandstone proposition.
The manufacturers of both classes of
paving material gave the committee
all the information concerning their
respective materials that it was possi
ble to do, and at the same time en
tertained the members royally. City
Engineer Smith remained in the cities
to further investigate the conditions
and costs of the materials and will
secure an additional fund of infor
mation. The committee did not give
the brick paving matter any consib
eration at this time as they could not
meet the manufacturers, but before
the matter is definitely settled this
material will also be investigated. The
report of the committee which will be
made to the Commercial club will be
in the nature of information and when
the report is completed, it is probabli.
that an open meeting of the citizens
of the city will be held and every tax
payer will be given an opportunity
to be heard before the club makes its
recommendations to the city council
which will be the supreme court in
the matter and determine the kind of
paving which will be used.
quest that he defray expenses of
burial. The remains of the young
man were finally interred in the pot
ter's field east of town.
The people of Grano are naturally
very incensed with the actions of the
dead boy's most unnatural father.
The latter possessed himself of his
son's personal property and departed
for home, it is said, without even the
formality of thanking the people who
cared for his dying boy.
Show us a man who failed to make
good and we will show you a knocker.
When the opposing attorney offers
to compromise it means that you have
a good case.

TAKEN FROM TRAIN DYING
Joseph Lashway Taken From Train
No. 1 at Devils Lake—Died With
Consumption Next Day.
Several days ago a man passed
through the city on No. 1 going west
on the Great Northern who was seen
to be in the last stages of consump
tion and needed medical care. Word
has reached the city that he was taken
off the train at Devils Lake and sent
to a hospital where his name was
found to be Joseph Lashway enroute
from West Bay. Wis., to Great Falls,
Mont. With him were his wife anu
two small children.
The man died the following day at
Devils Lake and the body was taken
home to Great Falls on Saturday
night.
It appears that the deceased had
been sick for several months and that
the party left their home in Great
Falls some time ago going to West
Bay, in the hope that special treat
ment wonld effect a cure. It was too
late, however, and the physician ad
vised their return home. They had
barely enough money to pay car fare
and were completely destitute when
taken off the train at Devils Lake. A
purse was taken up at that city and
money was supplied until a brother of
Mrs. Lashway's came to the rescue.
HUE CHURCH EDIFICES BUILDW6
Mouse River Presbytery (tethered at
Antler—Many Delegates present.
At the last meeting of the Mouse
l-ive Presbytery held at Antler several
days ago the reports showed that five
new church edifices were in course of
erection and some nearly completed
with one manse at an estimated valua
tion of nearly $28,000. Five new church
organizations had been enrolled, and
15 sabbath schools started the sum
mer.
Before the meeting adjourned the
delegates present, drew up the fol
lowing resolution:
1. That we extend our heartfelt
thanks to the members of the First
Presbyterian church and congregation
of Antler, for their genuine hospitality
in providing homes for us while we
are sojourners of the place also we
wish to express our hearty appre
riation for the use of this beautiful
edifice and further we would not bt
unmindful of the kindness extended
us by Mr. Kadletz for the use of his
building during the day.
2. That these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes and a copy of the
same be sent to the city papers.
Respectfully submitted.

Returned This Morning
From Madison.
DR. SWEETLAND ELATED
Conmy Tried Three Dropkicks
and One Placement—Battle
Was Desperate.
The University of North Dakota,
football team returned this morning
from Madison, Wis., where on Satur
day it met the Badgers on Wisconsin's
field. North Dakota held them down
to the small score of 10 to 0. The
weather was ideal. A light wind was
blowing from the east. Wisconsin won
the toss and chose to defend the west
goal. Wisconsin kicked off. The
varsity returned the ball to its 25-yard
line. The ball was In possession or
the varsity and the battle began in
earnest. On first down the varsity
made two yards over tackle. Conmy,
the varsity quarter, made eleven yards
around end. This evidently surprised
the Badgers, aud cries of "Hold 'em
Wisconsin" rang out from the bleach
ers.
The varsity made short gains in
the next two downs. Then Conmy
punted and the ball was recovered
ou Wisconsin's twenty yard line. After
five or six plays Wisconsin got pos
session of the ball on its own two
yard line forcing a kick. The varsity
downed on Wisconsin's 40-yard line":
advanced the ball ten yards and Con
my tried a drop kick for goal from
Wisconsin's 30-yard line. The kick
failed, but Wisconsin's tackle was off
side so the ball went back to North
Dakota and was put into play on Wis
consin's 25-yard line. After a few
more plays in which the varsity made
only short gains, Conmy again tried
a drop kick but failed. For the next
few minutes the ball was moving back
and forth between Wisconsin's twenty
and fifty yard lines. Finally Conmy
heeled a punt but failed at a place
kick. Score, first half, 0 to 0.
Second Half.
Several times Wisconsin was thrown
back for losses. At the end of about
eight minutes of play Wisconsin tried
a double pass. The varsity ends were
drawn in and Wisconsin got a clean
sweep for the west goal scoring a
touch'down. Wisconsin kicked goal.
Score 6 to 0 in favor of Wisconsin.
But a few plays were made when
Soukup. Wisconsin's star half, was
carried off the field with a broken leg.
Bell also went out Netcher went in
at full and Oliver at center. Both
sides fought desperately and very ev
enly until Wisconsin finally kicked a
goal from the varsity's 20-yard line.
