SON DESERTS; HIS FATHER HUNTS HIM DOWN IN BADLANDS
Young Man Who Took French Leave From Fort Lincoln Returned After Chase
Dickinson, N.D., July 7 — Deserting Fort Lincoln without leave after enlising in Co. K. Dickinson, Leo F Davis of Belfield was captured by his father after an exciting chase through the Bad Lands, and returned to the forth to serve out his enlistment. When the young man appeared at his home in Belfield and his father learned that he had left the fort without leave he insisted that his son return immediately to Bismarck. Instead, Davis, taking some clothing and supplies, escaped to the Bad Lands. Thither he was pursued by his father in a car. When the use of a machine became impracticable the chase was continued on foot, and at the end of six miles the man hunt ended. Davis surrendered to his father and was immediately taken by the latter to Fort Lincoln. No severe penalty will be imposed on the youngster.

A. Glassknapp has improved his moving picture apparatus by a fire-proof booth for the machine. The booth is constructed of boards lined with two sheets of asbestos paper covered with sheet iron. Should any accident occur, all that is necessary to do is close the door of the booth and the fumes from the burning films will make their excape from a rectangular fire proof chute projecting through the window.

Fortune for a Marine
But Beneficiary Must Serve Out His Term and Another
Fargo—a fortune of $77,000 and a North Dakota homestead prevented Clarence Copeland from leaving service with the United States Marines. Copeland received word of the death of an uncle, John Copeland, who willed him his fortune on the condition that he remain in the service for the remainder of his present enlistment, and then imediately re-enlist. Copeland says that he is delighted to comply with the provisions of his uncle's will, saying that he would rather be in the service than out of it.
"To my nephew, this bequest is made, that he may not spend the savings of a lifetime in riotous living and that he may continue in the service of his country, reads a provision of the will.
