"GIRL WANTED," IS CRY.
Bachelors and Restaurant Keepers Offer Inducements.
There is a famine of women in Cando, both in the culinary and drawing room departments, and as a result the bachelors and restaurantkeepers are up in arms and are keeping the wires hot in an endeavor to relieve the stringency. Inducements in the way of good homes or munificent salaries are being set forth in advertisements which have been inserted in the daily papers throughout the state, and although the visible supply is as yet nowhere equal to the demand, the advertisements are meeting with partial success.
Girls for all kinds of work in the Towner county metropolis are decided conspicuous by their absence. The millinery shops are overwhelmed with orders for new spring bonnets and cannot catch up with their work owing to a lack of help.

John Shippam of Bowbells, against whom a judgment for $10,000 was obtained by Maud Smith, claims that he did not have a chance to defend himself, and wants a new trial, which he will probably get. Shippam now lives with his family in Minneapolis. Maud Smith claims that she was induced to live with Shippam as his wife, he claiming that in America it was not necessary to perform the ceremony as in her old home, England. Later her baby was born and he deserted her. Before trial, an officer was sent to the Shippam home and attempted to serve papers on him, but his wife refused the officer admittance, neither would she read the summons, which was finally thrown on a lawn at her feet.

A man named Frank Williams, whose home is in La Crosse, Wis., and who is a doctor by profession, narrowly escaped death beneath the wheels of a freight car last evening. He stepped from the east bound passenger into the switch yard and while attempting to cross the rails was struck by a freight train, but fortunate for himself, friends and (perhaps) patients, he fell outside of the track and received no serious injuries.
