REPORTS ENCOURAGING
500 Line Officers Hear Favorable Reports
from Investigators.

Officers Of the 500 road are much
pleased with reports now coming from
North Dakota respecting the prospects for
crops. For three days there were rains
over the country from Valley City north.
From Hankinson to Valley City the pros
poets have been satisfactory, but over a
stretch Of country Of almost $50 miles,
from Valley City north, the rainfall Of this
week had not been heavy enough to in
sure maintenance Of conditions thru June.
The recent rains, which were heaviest
around Fessenden and Anamoose, have
put the country in good condition, and
with growing weather from now on the
returns should BE. good The strip from
do very well last 11yeaf, but the, outlook
is for bountiful Yields this season.
The souris river floods, that early this
spring covered the track west of Minot,
necessitating the. transfer Of much pas
senger and freight business and the sun
sequent repair Of ten-mile stretch OF
track, were largely responsible for tho
poorer showing in last report Of earnings
but this part Of the road is in prime con-
dition now.

POLICE LOOKING
FOR TWO BRUIES
TENSE FEELING IN NEIGHBOUR
HOODS TROUBLED.
One Victim Was a Woman, While the
Other Was Little Girl-Circum-
stances in Each Case Were Such
as to Arouse Indignation to a High
Pitch A Efssa

Two more assault cases Of shocking
brutality are squirting the Minneapolis
police to strenuous effort in tracking
the offenders.
A woman, residing near Chicago
avenue and Twenty-e eighth street, was
day night, and a little girl 10 years
old was enticed away from school in
North Minneapolis, taken to the Great
Western yards in South Minneapolis,
and mistreated.
The latter case is one of the most
brutal and deliberate that has ever
come to the attention Of the police.
The man met the girl at the Milwau-
kee station Monday afternoon when
she was seeing the Liberty Bell, and
helped her thru the crowd. When she
took a car for home, he accompanied
her and left her at her own door,
Tuesday morning she started for
the corner within a block Of the
schoolhouse. When she failed to re-
turn at noon the mother went to the
school,, only to learn that, the child
had not been there. The police were
notified and a search began, but at
2:S0 she was picked up by a South
Side police officer and sent home.
When the girl was going to school
she had met the same man who had
seen her Monday afternoon, and had
gone with him to the Great Western
freight yards. They entered a box
car, where he placed a handkerchief
in her mouth for gag and assaulted
her. Shortly afterwards the car be-
gan to move and he jumped out, tell
ing her to get out at the next station.
She was taken to her home and a
physician summoned, who found her
in a critical condition. The girl is
positive that she can identify her as
sailant.
Almost as shocking in it's details is
the case Of the woman. She was on
her way home Monday evening at 10
o'clock, and shortly after she alighted
| from the street car she was met by a
man who showed a revolver in her
face and commanded her to be quiet.
| He then took her to q vacant lot and
kept her there until 3 o'clock in the
morning, when he allowed her to go
| home.
Fright and the exposure have
! thrown the victim almost into nervous
prostration, and the physicians fear
that her mind is affected. She did not
report the case to the police because
she feared publicity, but her friends
to-day notified the Fifth precinct
officers. ...-

Correspondents Declared Spies.

The recent announcement by the
Russians that newspaper correspond
ents using wireless telegraphy should
be considered spies and dealt with ac-,,
cordingly created widespread atten-.
sly to cause complications as most ma
tons will stand by their correspond
ents as long as they send out only
such news as is legitimate, whether it
be sent by wireless biography or 9TH
erwise. In the same way those who
have been greatly improved in health
by the use Of golden grain belt beer,
will stand by it and advise it's use as
long as they live. It's tonic as we'll
as a beverage; that's why it is in
valuable for home use.

replied noncommittally, We'll, I want
my price"
Nothing was done toward taking
away any of Mr.. Dryers business, and
he will probably continue to hold it.
