Abba. Dec. u. Another attempted
burglary has been added to the Sc
ries of frustrated burglaries which
nave taken place i'll. Abba during the
last few days. As in the former cases
the attempt to rob Loeb's clothing
store last night is strongly suspected
of being mad by local talent. AS the
night Waterman. Delaney, passed
through the alley in the real of Loeb's
store last night he came up With u
man VINO seemed to be anxious to
avoid close scrutiny. This aroused the
suspicion of the officer and he attempt
ed to get nearer the man. But the
burglar ran. Thereupon the watch
man fired. The man threw up his
arm with a muffied exclamation but
continued TO run, with Officer Della
ney closely following and sending an
occasional shot after him. blu in the
darkness the would-be burglar made
his escape into an alley. An inresti-
gallon showed the glass in Loeb's side
street door broken. the iron bar had
been removed and an entrance made
sure. The thief had evidently step
ped back into the alley TO make sure
that no ore was near to modest him.

North Dakota is larger than all
New England. Its area is greater
than that of England and Wales
combined. It is one-third that OF
France and four times the area of
Switzerland. In size North Da-
kota is almost al empire in itself.
In possibilities the future will
place it among the foremost com,
monwealths in the Union. 1t will
become one of the greatest agri-
cultural states in the country. Its

One Of the travelling men who

and does business in all parts Of
the state says that the most pros
porous parts of North Dakota, as
far as merchants and individuals
go are the western and central
parts. The Red River Valley has
had poor grain crops for three
years and business is not as good
as further west, where stock grow
ing and less grain raising prevail.

Now is the time to commence, to

tin cans and other refuse in shape
to be removed when the time

hurts town as much as to see
