ROBBERS WITH GUNS|
Burst In the Door Of John Zwersk1's
Home.
SMASH "A TRUNK; TAKE "A CHECK
Zwerski and His wife Covered with
Revolvers While Robbers
Work.

Three armed men forced their way into
the residence Of John Zwerski All Main
street NE, shortly after 1 o'clock this
morning, covered Mr.. and Mrs. Zwerski
with their revolvers, broke open trunk
and took bank check for $500, the prop
erty of Frank Zwerski, brother. The po-
lice were notified of the robbery, but no
trace of the hold-up men has been dis
covered.
Mr.. Zwerski is laborer in the McMill-
an tanneries, in Northeast Minneapolis.
He and his wife retired early last even
ing, and were sleeping soundly when there
was loud crash as the door of their
room, which leads from the house, was
broken open and three roughly dressed
men bolted in Two of them were in the
lead and the revolvsrs they carried were
thrust into the faces Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Zwerski They uttered stern command
to ''keep still,' and appended dire threat
to elbow out their brains" If they cried
out. Then they gave low whistle and
the other member OF the party, who mad
remained in hiding behind the armed pair,
hurried across the room with an ak and
broke open the trunk. The men evidently
were aware that the check had been
locked in the trunk, and that was the OBJ
iect Of their search. The third man,
after raising the lid, searched through
clothes and papers until he found the
check for $500 When he secured this he
so informed his companions, and the lat
ter. still keeping Mr.. and Mrs. Zwerski
under cover backed towards the door,
permitting the man with the check to
pass out first, and then stepped outside,
at the same time slamming the door shut.
Their receding footsteps were heard as
the men ran down the sidewalk
Mr.. Zwerski did not leave the. house
during the night, fearing he would be set
upon BY the robbers. At o'clock this
morning, when he went to work, he told
the foreman, Louis Olson, of the robbery.
Olson urged that he report to the police,
and accompanied him to headquarters.
Payment on the check has been stopped.

ULAR IN ENGLAND

The captain of the great oil ship, Car
dunn, which has just returned from it's
first trip to England has great deal to
saw on the way the English manufacturers
have taken to Texas oil. He states that
every manufacturing industry in England
is seriously contemplating the change
from coal to Beaumont oil, and the $4,000
barrels which his ship just carried over
is a mere drop to the demand. The most
important consideration is the building
of more ships and means for getting the
oil across the sea.
The Texas Fuel Oil company is so con-
fident of striking oil that it has gone
ahead with it's pipe line, storage tanks,
ETC., without waiting day for the we'll;
s235, 900 has already been put Into this
line to Port Arthur, which is being built
NV the Texas Fuel Oil company in connec-
ton with the Diamond Crude, the Sara
toga Oil & Pipe Line company, and several
others that have brought in monster gush-
ers. The first storage tanks will be COM
pleted by the time the we'll comes in. In
It's way you will get returns on your
money in the shortest possible time, as
the oil will not have to lie idle waiting
for facilities for handling it. This com
pany Is planning to sell Oil on large
scale, and is not satisfied merely to get
one gusher and then trust to luck in SELL

Ward Randall Knocked Unconscious
on State Fair Grounds.

State Fair Grounds.
An unknown man, pres umably a tramp,
assaulted Ward Randall, son of Secretary
E. W. Randall of the State Agricultural
society, Saturday night as the young man
was returning home after witnessing the
basket ball game at the college of agri-
culture. AS he passed through the fair
grounds he saw a man trying to force an
entrance to the dairy building. He hast
tened on home and told his father and
then started back to the building. Mr.
Randall dressed to follow but before he
had left the house a ST. Bernard dog that
had accompanied his son came tearing
back to the house, barking and scratch
ing. Knowing something had happened
he followed the dog and found his son
lying on the ground unconscious The
young man was carried to his home and
it was an hour before he was restored to
consciousness. His injuries, however were
not serious. The tramp made his esca pc

LIVESTOCK NOT NEGLECTED.

Dean W. NJ. Liggett says that the Stock
Breeders association did the agricultural
school an injustice when it passed resolu-
ton declaring that not enough attention was
paid to the breeding of stock in that institu-
ton. Mr.. Liggett's comment upon the reso-
luton is decidedly caustic. He says, in effect,
that the convention didn't know what it
was talking about, and that stock breeding
is by no means neglected in the school cur
riculum.

This statement was made by General
William Sooy Smith at the thirty-hfth
annual dinner of the Chicago real estate
board. He added: THAT the steel
framework of some of the skyscrapers
is in the condition stated is nothing
short of a public outrage"
The speaker explained that his state
ments were based on personal observa-
tons and Investigations.
THE steel framework imbedded In
concrete will last 1000 years. he said.
but the steel framework in many of
the big buildings is left free to the ac-
ton of the air and gases which circu-

THE owners of these structures have
the steel painted with oil. This oil will
withstand the corroding process about
