Grady's Latest Exploit. The “boy detective’s” latest exploli | was the capture of Eddie Morris. Three young, giggling Chicago girls, accompanied by three men, one of | whom was Morris, went to a dante hall. One of the girls laughed at. Mor- ris. This angered him. “T'll sliow you how to laugh at me,” he said, and drew a revolver,’ ‘The | girls screamed and the proprietor called the police, Patrolman Jolin Mul- | len answered the call.

For this piece of work Grady was given Chief Fitzmorris’ personal check for $250. Grady only smiled. He al- ready had collected eight or ten re- wards, approximating $11,000. But the rounding up of Eddie Mor- ris is only one of the famous cases Grady has solved. He captured, single- handed, 11 bandits caught holding up a store. Grady got the tip the gang was going to pull the job, and he was there waiting for them. He got three of the bandits at the time, and’ ran down the other eight in 48 hours. The “boy detective” broke up the notorious Capalanza and’ Cardinella murder bands, several members of which were hanged... . _——————— eee USED 5() YEARS roubles bree Atlanta Ga FOR SKIN TROUBLES Vv WR S. ___ For Expectant Mothers VAPORUs | Uses By Tance Genenations | as blue as a sapphire, or of a wild | color, | WATER COSTS Called Definite.

It has been brought to my attention that it is being charged . against Mr. F. H.

The fines’ received from such sources were; under the ordi- nance, alloted to the school fund and the education ‘bf the school childven of.Bismarck depended largely on the earnings of vice. To the best of my recollection every alderman in the council voted for the repeal of the ordinance and it may’be a satisfaction to the present city official, who is spreading the canard, to know that such citizens as J. P. Jackson, Henry L. Reade and_Nels P. Lovin, who are still with us, were aldermen at that time, and those of them whom I have had an opportunity of seeing-are proud of their part in the transaction, ‘ Mr. Register, as mayor, did not have: a vote, and this he assures ine he regrets, as he surely would have voted for the repeal, but he did approve of the repealing ordinance.

JACOBSEN, City Engineer, To the Electors o City of Bismarck: The circular of March 30th, signed by the Bismarck, N. D., April 1st, 1921. Publicity Committee under the caption “DO NOT BE PUT TO SLEEP” gives.me the idea that I may be able to prevent that unfortunate thing to happen when so important an election-is coming on. We all know, as Mrs. Quain'put it to President Lucas the night that the Bismarck Water’Franchise was extended,,in October of 1915 that “He would go down in the history of Bismarck with the i crime of 1915.” ; The writer was a member of the City Commission at that time so when the other members, who thought that the price of water - was'very reasonable, the supply for fire protection sufficient, and pure for our needs in 1915 and up to 1985, attempted to take’ the water case to the Railroad Commission in 1918, when the price of everything-had doubled and even more, I opposed it and it was not, until I was retired from office in the spring of 1919, that the present commission, ON ADVICE OF COUNSEL took it to the Railroad Commission. Results: aoe .1 From the Publicity Committee’s letter has already coct the taxpayers $9664.70. mentioned above it 2. Alsoalawsuit toattemptto evade paying approximately $24,000.00, (the expenses caused the water company in the in- vestigation-and ordered charged to the city of Bismarck by the R. R. Commission. ; ; 3. -An increase in our water rates... 4. An opportunity for the City’s Attorneys to find out in Fed- eral Court, that they had no case against the water company. Early in August of 1920, Commissioner Thompson offered a resolution to the City Commission, to stop litigation and to refuse to pay water rentals until certain provisions of the Franchise were complied with. This would have made the water company, if they wanted to get their money, hire the expensive lawyers to col- lect it. Again ON ADVICE OF COUNSEL the resolution was kill- ed and the litigation'‘was continued witil as aforesaid the COUN- SEL was told by the Federal Court that they had no. case. The budget for the city’s exp ense this year is approximately ‘$100,000.00. Of thisamount thereis City Attorney .....6. £000.60 eee eee nee Associate Counsel ....3.....0.....0 0555 Total $6800.00 This is about 7% of the entire amount, and all for, ON AD- VICE OF COUNSEL.
