Saved Railroad Fare.

st. Cloud Times: Five o'clock
SUNDAY morning two returning har-
vest hands were held up on a Great
Northern freight train at Willmar
Junction, just west of this city, and
robbed of $75, and every thing they
had even to their shoes. The two
men gave their names as Frank
Birch, of Elgin, Ill.,. who lost $25 and
Andrew Brush, Of St. Louis, who
lost $50. The hold up took place at
about four O'Clock in the morning
and was reported to Patrolman
Quinnlivan about an, hour later.
The three men got on at Melrose and
climbed into the car where these two
men were. They evidently found
out from their conversation that
they had money and it would seem
that the robbers were familiar with
the road. At the Junction they
jumped up and while two Of them
covered Birch and Brush with re-
volvers, the third went through
their pockets. The robbers took
everything the men had. even to
their pocket knives and other small
things they carried in their pockets.

are duties incumbent on those whom
the Holy Ghost has placed to rule
the church Of God. and from these
there can he no exemption in any
