"Blues" But Earrings Went Too.

Superstition has not yet passed from
the land. Mrs. Peatz of Minot, was
suffering from severe attack of the
blues, when a gypsy woman happened
to enter her home to deal out the
special favors of which her greasy
and dirty race have been the especial
recipients for ages, according to their
story, and said that she would bless
the womans earrings and drive away
the blues. The earrings were pro-
cured, likewise saucer of water. and
Mrs. Paetz Vas told to go into an adj
joining room and close the door, The
gypsy woman tucked the pieces of
iewelry away somewhere in the mys-
FERROUS folds OF her. dress. and told
Mrs. Paetz that unless she produced
SIS the earrings would not be blessed.
Mrs. Paetz failed to produce, and the
gypsy departed. The matter was re-
ported to the police, and the woman
was arrested. The earrings were re-
covered, and the tribe OF gypsies or
dered out of town.

IHRESHER LETS GO
on FARM NEAR
LANGD0N
Machine Bown To Pieces But
Not a Person Hurt-Sin-
gular Accident.

Yesterday morning near Langdon,
there occurred boiler explosion which
happily resulted in no fatalities, but
wrecked the threshing rig and gave a
severe scare to the employees. The
machine belonged to John Rylance,
who resides about twelve miles south
west of Langdon, and the explosion
took place on his farm. The engineer
at the time had just stepped to one
side of the engine to fix pump when
with tremendous roar the end of
the boiler blew off, rending plates
and rivets as if they were of tin foil
instead of Carnegies best. Walter
Quigley of East Grand Forks, was fir
ing on the machine at the time and
he had a narrow escape from death.
The machine was one of the old dry
bottom affairs, not having been re-
fiued, it is said, for several years.

MANS INF|DELIy SHOWN TO MAN
Olaf West Awakes From Drunken
StupOr and Misses $6S.

This morning when Olaf West awak-
ened and rubbed his eyes. his first
thoughts were of his bank roll. On
searching his pockets he found that
sos had been taken while he lay in a
drunken stupor in a back room in
saloon. A further search with the aid
of the police brought to light that
grip containing a suit OF clothes was
gone and that his partner August
Johnson. had also hied himself into the
great unknown world. probably logged
out in Vests Prince Alberts.
The men had been partners for over
Is years. in fact were born and raised
together in Minneapolis; this being
the first time that either had diverged
from the straight and narrow path.
at least away from one another.

FOREIGN POSTAGE BEEN REDUCED
Uncle Sam Has "Cuto Sale on Parcel
Postage to Other Countries

A re-classification of mail to foreign
countries has been established where
by articles may be sent to these coun-
tries at the rate of twelve cents per
pound. The weight of the package
must not exceed four pounds or the
the value of fifty dollars. 1t has for
merly cost $1.60 to mail a four-pound
package which we can now send for
forty-eight cents. .. 49,.
This will be matter of interest to
the large number of natives of foreign
countries wha have come to the United
States and who often desire especially
about Christmas holidays. to send
packages by mail to friends in their
native lands. The ruling of the de-
partment is in compliance with a. gen.
eral demand for remodeling of the
schedules SO that each will stand
practically upon its own merits, and
not pay larger proportion of the total
cent of handling the mails than its out
lay would justify.

POLICE PROTECTION WANTED NOW
Residents of Third Ward File Petition
For Better Police Protection.

The matter of police officer for
the third ward came up again this
morning when George Hitler filed a
petition with Recorder German which
will be presented at the next meeting
of the city council. This will be but
continuance of the agitation started
some time ago for better protection
in the ward mentioned. Citizens in
that district, especially at this time
of the year when robberies and shoot
ings are a common occurrence, are
almost afraid to venture out of doors
and it seems to be up to the council
to attend to the matter.

then walked three miles in her bare

ARE NOT MENTOR BANK ROBBERS
Authorities ut Akely Think Robbers
Belonged TO u Minneapolis Gang.

A long distance message today from
Akely states that the robbers who
broke into the bank there yesterday
morning and secured $4,000 have not
been captured and there is no clue
to their identity. The authorities there
have no idea that it was the same gang
that robbed the bank at Mentor or
any of that party.
1t is thought that they belong to a
Minneapolis gang and have either
gone back to the cities or made their
way as quickly as possible to hiding
places in the timber land near by or
the adjacent swamps. 1t is even
thought that they may be hiding on
the Leech Lake Indian reservation. At
the time OF the robbery there the bank
contained $4,000 in cash, brought
there this week to pay off the checks
