Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. -.. .s..
St. Cloud, Mimi, Dec. 1.-the State
Bank of Rice at Rice, a small town in
Benton county, thirteen miles north of
st. Cloud on the Northern Pacific, was
robbed by cracksmen at 3 o'clock this
morning. The safe was blown and
$4,000 in bills, $500 in silver and from
$4,000 to $4,000 in notes stolen.
Two or three men are supposed to
have done the Job. They broke into
the Northern Pacific Toulouse and
took bars and other tools with which
to force the bank. They then broke
the plate of glass in, the front Of the
building, drilled the doors of the vault
and blew them open with charges OF
dynamite.
Completing their work at the bank,
they stole team and buggy from
William Christie and started east.
When day broke they abandoned the
team and it returned to it's owner.
| The explosion awoke woman who
gave an alarm. It was then too late to
prevent the robbery, but posse was
organized and started in pursuit.
The bank is owned by George H. Niles.
who is president, and A. H. Turretin,
cashier. It is capitalized for $4,000
and has burglar insurance Of $4,000.

Louisiana is not neglecting her inter
ests, and the oyster commission of the
pelican state now has under construc-
tion a big boat which it will put in
commission as soon as complete, to pa
troll the Louisiana waters to see that
no Mississippi fishermen cross the line
and gather oysters from the reefs that
are claimed by that state. Each boat
is armed, and there will surely be. ex-
citing incidents if these two navies en-
counter each other. So ~, .5,sSsz 49, :.
The whole trouble grew out Of the
contest between the two states over the
valuable oyster reefs on the gulf coast.
Mississippi claims the boundary is made
by the Pearl river, and that all of the
valuable oyster beds along the coast
belong to her, while, the boundary line
set by Louisiana takes in all the Mis-
sissippi waters and great fishing inter.
ests.
Awaiting Court Decision.
A suit was brought three years ago
by the two states to settle the boun
