WRIST WATCHES DON'T
LIKE NEW SWIMMING POOL
An epidemic of "Watered watches" is reported here.
All because numerous people, particularly girls, fail to remove their wrist watches when bathing in the new swimming pool.
F. A. Knowles, jeweler, calling attention of The Tribune to the matter, strongly urges all people entering the pool who have wrist watches to leave them with the attendants. The water soon reaches the vital parts of the watch.

The
Vermillion Standard of last Saturday says that on the previous Sunday evening two young ladies of that place, Miss Rhoda Anderson and Miss Hamie Hendricks, left their respective homes for the purpose of eloping with a couple of young bloods. Their plans do not seem to have been well arranged, for somehow or other they missed connection. The girls were gone two days and nights before they were found, and the Standard adds: "Of course their parents were angry and frightened, and instituted a search, which resulted in the capture of the lassies in an old vacated dug out. The affair created considerable excitement through this vicinity. The father of one of the girls, supposing the girl had ran away to get married, went to
Sioux City to head of
{sic} the runaway couple, and it is whispered around that he would have made it exceedingly tropical for the gay Lothario had he found him in her company. The reception the young ladies received upon their arrival home has not been reported but it is probable that it was so entertaining that they will not have any further desire to run away."

Too White Ice Cream Prohibited
Fargo, N.D. July 15—Some ice cream manufacturers of the state like to improve on the natural whiteness of ice cream by giving it a rich cream tint with artificial colors, according to R.O. Baird, of the regulatory division of the chemistry department at the State Agricultural College here.
This is against the state laws, not because it is directly harmful, but because it decieves.
The manufacturers of such cream, both in the state and those who ship it in from without, have been warned and have promised immediate cessation of the practice of dying their ice cream.

Kramer—H.L. Mantsell, a
Mouse river trapper, had a narrow escape from a band of wolves. There were about twenty in the pack and when he began to shoot at them the pack ran away, leaving him with only a few cartridges in his rifle. With these he killed seven of the wolves, but was compelled to climb on top of a hay loading machine which fortunately happened to be near at hand.
He was kept there three hours before the howls of the wolves and the cries of the trapped trapper brought assistance.
