not divided until the men reached
Mamma Kings wheat bin.
! Ed. Robinson, the robber who is
lying in the hospital with a broken
ankle, looked in the mirror this
morning and exclaimed, my God, I
have turned gray" He had. The scare
that the officers gave him as the sew

old and said he never had gray hair
! in his whole head before and now the
top of his head is as gray as rat.
One Of the outlaws, Sullivan, aged %
years, accompanied States Attorney
MCGEE and Judge Murray to Sawyer to
day and coughed up everything. He
took the officers to coulee several miles
from Sawyer where he pointed out

, overcoats was hidden. The overcoat
was found. He took them to lumber

robbers had abandoned the rifles be-
cause the ammunition did not CORES

woodshed where the bottle which con-
tanned the nitro clycerine was found.
Sullivan said that the robbers always
carried the glycerine wrapped in WOOL

burned and, and poured with safety.

Hayes, another one of the robbers, has
practically confessed everything to the
officers but Duffy and Conroy have
nothing to say.

robbers but it is possible that a con-
siderable portion of the money was
destroyed by the explosion. Many
of the bills found are badly torn.
The officers were very cold and
tired from their long nights ride and
they had gone without eating for a
good many hours before they secured
an early lunch at Max. The prisoners
themselves were hungry ond weary
and seemed to be glad for a chance
to rest.
The robbers were a bold set of fell
they bought or stolen a horse apiece
they could easily have fled the coun-
try. Why they remained together is
more than anyone can figure cut.
AS no one had a good clue to them,
they could have separated and even
come to Minot andthe officers would
have had a hard time ferreting out
the criminals.
Additional bits of news from the
robbery comes to the Independent
with each hour and all makes good
reading.
c. S. Fisher and Jack Druey deserve
a good deal Of credit in the capture
of Hayes and Conroy. Those men We're
in Max and heard a farmer say that
he had met two men who might be
the robbers.Fish er and Druey accom-
panied by kardell. Gus Sandborg and
and Segerstrom, drove west and
when a mile from Max, along the
railroad, saw them asleep along a
hay stack. The boys went up to them
on a. run. Fisher covered them with
a revolver while Druey had rifle
and the men readily gave up. Hayes
was searched and about 5000 was
found. A big roll of bills was found
on Conryo.
The morning of the capture. it
was ascertained that the men had taxi
en- a short nap about five miles north
of Max, but they did not tarry long

One Of the fur coats that We're

found Tuesday morning in the woods
a half mile west from Sawyer. The
robbers after looting the store. went
about two miles west from Sawyer
and remained until about midnight.
When the robbers are brot up for
hearing they will be confronted with
three charges. assault with intent to

shot striking him in the face, and at

member of the gang has told every
thing.
The officers who effected the cap
ture deserve all kinds of credit and
our citizens are giving it to them. The
people of Sawyer are especially happy
over the capture of the men and feel
especially well towards the officers. The
officers will likely be given a suita BILE
reward for their good work.

oners lived in Minot for some time,

Der of Minot people remember him.
Ed Kelley is a genius in more
ways than one. He did not bother to
take hand cuffs with him. His rece-
pie for cooking rabbit is first to catch
the rabbit. He first determined to
catch the robbers then furnish the
hand cuffs. While waiting in Max,
Kelley manufactured several pairs of
hand cuffs from piece Of a log chain
locking the ends together with pad
locks. Chief of Police Hagen is con-
fident that Duffy is the same man who
left the grip of burglar tools and nj

It passed but short distance over

he told Peter Lee, one of the men
who assisted in his capture. The fact
Of the case is that when Lee covere !
him with his rifle after he had

From one who calls himself Ed. Ro-

pendent was able to learn more Of
! the facts concerning the robbery. Ro-
binson was induced to talk of the
affair only after a good deal of per-
suasion and when told that his COM
panons had told all. Robinson as he
lies on his lonely cot in the hospital
his leg shattered SO badly that it is
hardly known whether it can be saved
or not None of his companions will
divulge any secrets.
Robinson says that the men hung
around Sawyer three or four days
prior to the night Of the robbery

The people did not suspect them. Since
the robbery scores remember the fell

yerites visited the Jail at this city
Wednesday to get another look at the
fellows who caused the night of ter

The night of the robbery the men
went about two miles west Of Sawyer
according to- Robinson's statement
on the town. The men had been had
been drinking good deal and that
accounts for their promiscuOus shoot
ing no doubt. Robinson said that
when Hodges came to his window and
began shooting at them, the robbers
grew angry and determined to get
the nervy postmaster if possible, ond
they very nearly got him.

safe was to be blow, he would go
out and begin shooting after the
bank was blown open how long did
it take you to grab the money the
man was asked. About three or four
minutes l believe. We used electric
flash lights and could easily see the
big piles of bills, gold and silver"
Robinson replied. When asked how
long the gang had been organized,
the man replied only short time and
he said he was young at the business,
this being his first job.
IF I ever get out of this, you will
never catch me in another such a
scrape.' the fellow went on to- say
and big tear rolled down his cheek
Robinson says the men divided the
money in five piles. there being only
one one hundred dollar bill and five
$50 bills. The fellow claims that he
threw 5000 in the slough.
The robbers guns will likely turn
up where they have thrown them
away on the prairie or hidden them
The Independent believes that the
robbers when their case comes to
trial will plead guilty and trust to
the mercy of the court. All of the
men with the exception of one. are
young, not being over thirty years
old.

and walked up and searched him,

Much money was recovered, being
of the robbers or scattered about here
and there over the prairie. In all about
$4,000 We're found at this place, but
something over $4,000 was taken from
the bank.
After the three men had been cap
tured they were taken to Max, where
two OF them were provided with
coats. They had thrown away their
overcoats, and their rifles as they
found them too heavy to carry They
would have retained their rifles, but
thot that they We're far enough away
sc that they We're safe.
While this was going on east of
Max, another posse, consisting of
Sawyer men, Fisher, Druey, Emil
Kardell, l.. B. Krogstad and A. A.
Segerstrom, two Of them being pro-
prietors of the robbed store, got onto
the track of the other two robbers
who had caught a ride with a farmer
and after passing thru Max, got off
and hid in a straw stack a short dis
lance west of town. Here they were
and being covered with guns, thir
hands went up and their capture was
comparatively easy.
The entire party started back from
Max at about half past four o'clock
Tuesday afternoon arriving here at

oners. The Max doctor accompanied
Robinson who rode in Lees rig half
way to- Minot. or until the man had
passed over the toughest portion of
his journey and frequently gave him
morphine tablets to keep him from
pain. A stretcher had been made for
him. The man was taken to the
hospital where he is being given the
best Of attention and it is the opinion
of his doctor that the leg with ulti-
mately be saved.
An Independent representative
called on Robinson who claims to be
but twenty-three years old and really
he does not have the appearance of
a very bad man. He said:
II am sorry that I got into this
trouble, and you bet 1 will never get
into another deal like this. I hop
the judge will let me off. live in San
Francisco and have no parents living"
When asked about robbing the bank
he first refused to say anything but
finally admitted that he was guilty
and said that as his portion of the
sopils he had gotten about $3.50. The
money was counted out in Kings
wheat bin, each man given a IS bill.
then a $40 bill. then a $50 bill and
so on until the money was all distrib-
uted.
Robinson Informed the Independent
that he believed that only thirty or
forty dollars We're destroyed when the
safe was blown open. He said that
the man who blew the safe tried
he would not say who the cracksman
was, it is believed by the officers to
be Duffy.
An Independent reporter visited
the four men in the Jail, but learned
little or nothing from them. One of
the prisoners, Conroy. bad fellow
too by the way, was in Minot the NOR
ming of the robbery, Sunday morning,
and must have gone to- Sawyer dur

called at the postoffice and one of
