NJ Bonnet Insisted that not one OF

that all the money was spent with the
countess on houses or art collections

Officer Fleming told of his expert

when the chief received the mes

Determined to ride on a 500 freight
train, five hobos held up the crew of
the train Saturday evening, after ar
irving at Valley City, engaged with
the officers Of that place in a fierce
battle which resulted in the wounding
of Policeman w. B. Fleming. X.
M The story Of the hold up of the
freight train is as follows: 1t appears
that the five hobos were discovered in
a box car by the brakeman, who
ordered them out of. the car. The
hobos not only refused to obey the
order of the brakeman, but slapped
him. The brakeman escaped from the
car and hurried to the caboose where
he enlisted the aid of the rest of the
train crew. Il.
The brakeman, thus reinforced, re-
turned to the box car where five
masked men with drawn revolvers
were encountered.
leave us alone" one of the hobos
said eve are going to ride this train
so you might just as we'll go back into
the caboose"
AT Fingal a message was sent to
Valley City conveying news of the
hold-up and asking that officers be al
the depot upon the arrival of the train
to arrest the hobos.

u BEAUTIFUL BY INVOKING MA
Il #s TuRE,s ASSISTANCE.

!. A good illustration Of what the.
spirit Of civic Improvement can ac-s
complish with a little labor and very
little expense is shown at the resi-
dence of w. F. Cushing on 7ourth
street, and it has attracted the atten
ton of passers by who have daily
watched the gradual change which has
been taking place there this spring
and summer. 1t is a rented place and
in need of repair and Improvement.
The house has not been painted for
years, the front yard is ungraded and
little more than clay bank and
stands three feet above the sidewalk,
upon which the dirt was accustomed
to fall and make mud at each rainfall
There was no grass, and weeds in
other years have held undisputed
sway.
This spring the bank was sloped off
| toward the sidewalk, a poultry netting
fence three feet high placed at the
bottom of the slope and wild euaum-
bers planted along the fence. The
vines have grown and now entirely
conceal the wires making very pref
| ty green foreground. The clay soil
was given good raking and Oscar
Will donated the grass seed as an ax
pertinent to see if it would grow under
such conditions The lawn now pre-.
sents remarkably good appearance
considering the preparatory work and
the unevenness of the ground, and
makes good advertisement for that
brand of grass seed.
Six flower beds were dug, the clay
being removed and good rich loan put
in its place, the beds being Of Irregular
shape. Seventy cents worth of flower
seed, and geranium' slips, grown dur
ing the winter from a few house
plant, were placed in the beds and
later fifty cents worth of pansies and
25 cents worth of verbenas were
added. These beds are now a mass of
Ebloom and are very handsome,
| Along the fences on the north and
south sides sweet peas are in bloom.
On the side of the neighbours house
facing the lawn" wild cucumber
vines were planted, adding to the
beauty of the both houses. Around
the front porch, south of the house
and in front of the south wing more GU
cumbers were placed and now entire
ly cover those sections, reaching the
second story windows and shading
the house from the suns hot rays. 4
high cucumber fence between the home
. and the house of Mrs. MilIer's cuts off
a view of the back yard. At the IFofsst
second story window is box full of
: blooming plants and from it vines run
up and around the window

of the house and grounds is very strik-
ing. From being rather forlorn

demonstration of civic Improvement
on small scale and under consider
