He detailed the regular routine of the marine from the time he is called out at 6 o'clock in the morn- ing until the day’s work is completed at 10 o’'clock in the evening. In describing his work since his arrival there, some six months ago, Corporal Hayner related some excit- ing experiences. In his squad there was enlisted an insane man who, ac- cording to Mr. Hayner, had a six- year-old mind. He could remember only some of the instructions given him, and was considered a dangerous man in the squad. He was detailed to watch during a night shift. He remembered his instructions to call “halt” in case someone approached. On this night when Corporal Hayner approached to change his shift, he was accosted with the word ‘“Halt.”” Upon halt- ing he waited for the words, “Who goes there?”’ but they came not. “Well,” said Hayner, you taught to say next.” The reply was, ‘“‘say halt three times and then shoot.” Corporal Hayner spoke briefly of the explosion on Mare Island and answered freely questions that were asked of him from among those pres- ent. He also gave out the informa- tion that it was his belief that many of the boys who were in training at various stations have already been sent to foreign shores. COTTAGE IS CLOSED Mrs. Ira J.

Alleged liquor law vio- lations will constitute the chief part of the criminal calendar. The case that will take the most time is that of the National Elevator Co. vs. the Great Northern Railway Co., which will involve 471 separate causes for action. Judge C. W. Stanton has appoint- ed T. A. Cross as foreman of the grand jury and that body is now in sesgion. Joe Arrell pleaded guilty of sell- ing intoxicating liquor without a li- cense and was fined $50 and given 30 days in the county jail. Other matters were disposed of yes- terday and the petit jury met this morning at 10 o'clock when the case of Louis Larson vs. School District No. 20 was scheduled for trial.} Springstead, he pleaded guilty be- fore indictment to selling booze un- lawfully and was fined $50 and 30 days in the county jail. In default of fine he gets another 30 days. He was also fined $50 for conducting an unlicensed booze selling place and drew another 30 days with Sheriff Johnson. S. Mattson also pleaded guilty be- fore indictment to running an unli- censed drinking place at Puposky and drew $50 fine or 30 days in jail. This is only a partial list of the grist grabbed off by the citizens’ posse of Bemidji who made a round- up of the illegal booze joints in this vicinity one morning last summer and arrested several and confiscated a couple of carloads of booze.
