THIEF ATTACKS A NUN.


Mother Madeline Of Fargo Has a Des-
perate Encounter With Thief.
Fargo Forum: Mother Superior
Madeline of St. Johns hospital and
Sister Emeline of St. Paul had an en-
counter with a desperate thief in the
park last night.
They arrived on the 800 train last
night from Jamestown, where they
have been visiting for several days,
and started home, walking through the
park. Mother Madeline heard some
one walking behind them shortly after
leaving the depot but thought nothing
of it until nearly opposite the pump
ing station, when she stepped aside to
let the person pass. 1t was a man, a
description of whom neither of the
ladies could give this morning. When
the man approached close enough he
grabbed for the bag which Mother
Madeline had in her hand. The latter
hung on to her property and a strug-
gle for the possession of the bag en-
sued. The thief was finally the victor
and Immediately took to his heels, run
ming toward the rear of the pump sta
tion The cries of the frightened
ladies brought a Mr.. Tasker to the
scene and the matter was at once re-
ported to the police.
This morning the stolen bag was
found in the hospital grounds where it
had evidently been thrown by the
thief. The sides Of the bag had been
cut open but the only articles found
missing were a tooth brush and

TOOK POSSESSION OF TRAIN.

Gang Of Two Hundred Men on the VAL
Icy Branch Decline to Pay Fare or
Leave Train.
jamestown Capital: The valley
branch train arrived this morning two
hours late and with cargo of 200 men
who declined to pay fare or leave the
train. A bunch was picked up at
Cakes, another at LaMoure and more
at Dickey. Many of them were men
who had registered at Bonesteel, S. D.,
and failed to get land and with them
were a number of toughs. All said
they were going to ride to jamestown
and as there was insufficient police at
Dickey, only the village constable, the
railroad authorities here ordered the
conductor to bring the men here.
When the train stopped at the yard
switch the men left the train and
walked into town. Some of them
bought tickets for Leeds and Devils
Lake while others disappeared about
town.
There is said to be hundreds more
Of the same class Of men and harvest
hands headed north from Aberdeen,
and they are not a good class to
handle. Trainmen have no authority
from the road to use firearms to eject
the men from the trains, and have to
get along the best they may. Its ex-
ceedingly aggravating for the train
men but the men outnumber them
and what can they do? Railroad Of
ticials say they are powerless to cope
with the subject unless cities will
provide chaingangs and force to
handle the men when turned over to
them at stations. Some of the men
who reached here this morning have
been several days on the road between
here and Cakes, the train crews drop
ping them at sidings and in other ways
giving them the slip at stations-only
to meet them the following night and
repeat the process. But the numbers
Tuesday night were too great and the
men took possession of the train.

When Animals Faint.

The little gray dog tumbled head
long into the area, and the maid who
happened to be standing there closed
the gate. When the dog saw she was
safe from her two legged pursuers she
toppled over in dead faint. At any
rate. the maid insisted that she faint
ed. The boarders, who crowded out
into the area to help bring the little
animal to, derided the assertion, but
the doctor that finally Joined the group
said there was nothing preposterous
about it.
"Of course she tainted" he said.
"Lots Of animals faint. Cats and dogs
and even more stolid animals keel
over In moments OF fear and exhaus-
ton. In the case Of horses the pros
ration IL generally attributed to sun
stroke, but quite often they are knock
ed out by plain, everyday faint In.
stead of atmospherical excuses. Fowls
faint too, and the birds Of the air. In
fact, 1t is hard to find any living crea.
ture that doesn't topple OVER in crucial
circumstances: II the lioness Of the
jungle were up on etiquette she would
be just as much justified in carrying
camphor bottle as the finest Lady II
the land."-New York Press.

Faculty Of Imitation In Animals.


Some animals have wonderful powers
Of imitation. Dogs brought up In the
company Of cats have been known to
acquire the trick Of licking the paws
and then washing the face. When q
cat has been taught to sit up for food
her Kittens have been known to imi-
tate her action. Darwin tells Of cat
that was in the habit Of putting her
paw into the mouth Of a narrow milk
pitcher every time she got the chance
and then licking the cream off her paw.
Her kitten soon learned the salne trick.
A lady tells of a rabbit that she keeps
in a cage with monkey and says that
Bunnie has caught many Of the
monkeys ways. 1t is said that starv-
ing pigeons that have been brought up
on grain will not eat peas to save their
lives. but that If pea eating pigeons are
put with them they follow their ex-
ample and eat peas.-Detroit News
