rested at Neche and taken through here
Thursday night en- route to Thief River
Falls, did not rob regular bank as stat
ed here. The bank consisted of a toy
bank and the savings were those of a
baker, who objected to the system of
banks generally and concluded to do his
in different manner. One night last
week some one came into his place while
he was busy in another part of the build
ing and took bank and all, the contents
amounting to nearly $lCO. The box in
which the bank was kept was found in
the barber shop of Barnes and that wor-
thy was missing. His arrest followed at
Neche. Barnes has always borne good
reputation at Thief River Falls and many
think he is nnocent.-Plaindealer
]. D. GORDON has faith in Walhalla.
Last week he completed the purchase of
the Central house block from A. Buie,
this giving him two hundred feet front on
Central avenue, west from Eleventh
street, facing south east, and one of the
finest locations of Walhalla's business
center. The new property comprises
the lots and buildings of Burley and
Camden's drug store, the Central hotel,
Hemsley's post Office store-and these
with the fifty feet he bought and built on
last year, make a continuous frontage
that is very valuable. We have had no
opportunity, as yet to find out what his
intentions are regarding his late acqui-
sitions, but for the present, at least they
will remain in use as formerly.-Walhalla

8 LAST summer, Edward Hogan son of
John Hogan living near this city, had
considerable trouble with his left arm.
Later he was taken with pneumonia and
finally got better of both troubles. Hav-
ing some trouble with his hearing, he
went to St. Paul to consult specialists.
While there his arm began to get bad
again, and he had to go to the hospital.
About two weeks ago the physicians de-
clded that it was necessary to amputate
the arm close to the shoulder in order to
save his life. Reports since the opera
ton say that he is recovering in good
shape, and he is expected home on Sat
urday. Our citizens generally, will SYM
pathise with the family, and with Ed
ward, who is a bright young man OF
much promise, and hope that while the
loss of so useful a member is severe, yet
that his health in future may be all right.
Two things make successful auction
sale. "Have something to sell and adj
vertise it well' and perhaps the same
thing would be we'll applied to sales
other than auction. The auction sale of
Chas. Atkinson on Saturday brought in a
large crowd. Probably not less than
two hundred, mostly people from out of
town, surrounded Auctioneer A. ]. Nc
Fadden of Neche, at the first call of his
persuasive tones "What am bid?"
The day was pleasant, the crowd was
good-natured and the auctioneer made
hay under pleasant skies, and Andy isn't
slow at his kind of haymaking under any
circumstances. Quite an amount of 9TH
er goods, including buggies, harness and
live stock had been added by other own
ers to the large amount listed for sale by
Mr.. Atkinson and they all have good
reason to be satisfied with the prices re-
ceived. 1t was doubtless one of the
most successful sales that has been held
in this part of the county for long time.
DR.. Donovan of Neche was married to
Miss Maud O'Hara of the same town at
St Paul on February 22nd. The doctor
