TOOK TWO FULL DAYS
STEWART JELLEFF TELLS HOW
HE ROBBED MINERAL POINT
BANAA
LAY CONCEALED ONE DAY
Then Dug Through Brick Work,
Lowered Himself Into Vault
and Used Dyna-
E.ite

GREEN BAY Wis, July 13.-The story
of the robbery of the Mineral Point bank,
for which Stewart Jellef is now serving &
sentence in the reformatory in this city
is unique in the history OF crime Before
being taken to the penitentiary Jelleff
made a full confession. From this is ap-
pears that he was two days In carrying
out the details of the robbery and passed
one day in the bank building without be-
ing discovered.
Jeleff starred by making rude ladder
which was afterwards found near the
building and then he stole from the gran
airy of a farmer in the vicinity ten or
twelve grain bags and five buggy cur
tains. The former was to deaden the
sound of the explosion and the latter to
keep out the rain where the opening was
made in the roof Wit hthis preparation
JeIlef, on the night before the robbery,
cut a hole in the roof of the bank build
ing and through this put his ladder, grain
sacks and curtains, and followed him.
self
He replaced the piece cut out of the
roof and put the oilcloth curtains under
the opening to keep out rain in case of a
storm. Concealed in this hiding place,
Jenef lay until the next night All the
food he had was a few bits of cheese.
The next night he began work by NOV
ing the brick from the top of the vault
He had to dig through brick work three
feet thick but had finished this in an
hour, when he lowered the ladder and
let himself down into the vault. He
easily opened the vault door and then
put a charge of nitroglycerine against
the safe and set it off. A second charge
was needed before the safe would yield,
and this last explosion closed the vault
door, shutting Jelleff out, as he had gone
into the office during the explosion. lie
let himself out and climbed to the roof,
coming down inside as he did at first,
and again opened the door Of the vault.
Then he took the $4,000 in gold and
placed it in a grain sack and the re-
mainder in currency in his pockets.
With this load he went out Of the bank
and through the law office of Spensley
& McIlborne.
AS showing the nerve Of the man and
the fascination Of a lock for him, it is
noted that when passing through the
law office he saw a safe and stopped
to pick the lock, which he did in a few
minutes He found but $13, which he
put in his pocket. Then he left the
building and afterwards secreted the
money in the places where 1t was found
under his directions.

LABORERS ARE FEW
NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS MUST

HELP
NEED ARMY OF HARvEsTERs
Wheat Straw Is Heaviest Ever
known, and Thousands OF Men

GRAND FORKS. N D., July ia
question, the seriousness of which is but
h2lf realized by the farmers of the
Northwest is one Of labor. At present
there are no laborers in this section OF
the country not enough for haying
operations, and thus far no steps have
been taken to get more men into the
country.
The situation is peculiar. Haylng is
how on, and many men could be given
employment, as the crop is neavy, but
there are no men to be had. As a rule
at this season OF the year ere are men
standing around on the street corners
wa ting for the farmers to come in for
help, but now the farmers come to the
city in vain. As far as the haying is con-
ceGnod, most of the farmers can man
aSe to get along with but little help If
the weather continues fine, as the hay
matuIed earlier than usual this season,
thus giving them more time to put UP
what they need. But on the other hand
the crop last year was almost a total
failure and every spear was used long
ago. so that the farmers will be COM
PEELED to put up a greater quantity this
Year than Tor several years past:
The trouble will commence in earnest
however, when the harvest is on, which
viii be a matter of but few weeks.
Regardless Of what the wheat yield will
be in the great wheat belt Of this sec
ton the fact remains that the straw will
be the heaviest in years, and this straw
wiz all have to be handled. This will
require thousands of laborers, and the
question is, where are they to come
from?
The farmers as a first step should at
once make it a point to report the num-
Der Of men needed to the local station
agent, and he will report to the rail-
way officials so that approximately the
railroads win know the number required,
and where they are to be placed. When
il is realized that every farmer will need
from two to fifteen or twenty men, the
real situation win be understood. A YER
fable army of laborers is needed.
\ gentleman in the city yesterday
from Winnipeg said that the scarcity Of
help in Manitoba was already realized,
and that the Canadian Pacific was ar
ranging to bring 10000 harvest hands
from eastern Canada, mostly from On
tario to take care of the Manitoba crop.
Last year Is, coo men were brought there
by the same road, but on account OF
the increased acreage and improved con-
ditions 1t is estimated that 5000 more will
be needed this season, so that on all sides
there is a heavy demand for labor all at
practically the same time. There will be
a shortage Of help at best and the ques-
ton now is how great will the shortage
be?

Farmer Robbed in Daylight

LA CROSSE, Wis, July 13.-Bold day
light robbery was committed yesterday
on the farm Of Conrad Elgert, residing
few miles north of here, from whom a
fortune was stolen. Elgert was at work
in the field near his house, but owing to
his extreme age his sight and hearing

When he went to his house he found
that the trunk containing his money had

very saving and had accumulated a large
fortune but through several unusual
nisfortunes lost all but the $1,000, which
is now also gone. A part OF this fortune
was found buried on the farm and was
stolen, while another large amount was
lest in a financial disaster. With the

WHO WILL SUCCEED M'HENRYs
Northern Pacific Officials Speculate
ing ON the Subject.

The main topic of conversation In
Northern Pacific circles is still the I'M
expected resignation of Chief Engineer
McHenry. Though no reasons have as
yet been announced, it is pointed out
that the theory that his leaving is due
to the interfering influence of outside
railroad interests is perfectly absurd Mr.
McHenry, it is well known. is one of the
Oldest officials of the Northern Pacific,
and Mr.. Pearce, who succeeded Mr., Ken
drick has been with the company since
1879, and has been with him ever since,
serving in various capacities until he
finally was offered the position OF gen.
eral manager. The contention therefore
that he is the nominee Of Great North
ern interests is regarded as being ride
ulous.
While it is early to speculate as to
who win become chief engineer the name
of. Assistant Chief Engineer Darling has
been mentioned as one of the proba-
bilities. Mr.. Darling is we'll qualified
to fill the position. having been Mr.. Nc
Henry's assistant for number of years,
and having served as chief engineer dur
ing the time his superior was receiver
for the road, Jointly with Mr.. McHenrv.
AS a general rule forecasts on the prob
able successors to Northern Pacific off,
Gals have not been even moderately good
guesses, and it would net surprise any,
one in the general offices to learn
that man is to be sent out from the
East to take the position.
