Robbery at HarWOOd.

Burglars broke into the postoffice at
Harwood Saturday, Sept. 10Th; dyna,
mited the safe and secured 5000 in cash
in addition to some postage stamps.
They forced an entrance to the build
ing in which the postotfice is situated
with the AID of tools secured from the
railroad section house. Overalls and
other articles of clothing from the stock
of the general store were piled about the
safe to stifle the sound of the explosion
and the robbers completed their work
without arousing any of the residents OF
the town. The theft was discovered
this morning.
The only clue which has so far been
obtained was furnished by the Great
Northern railway station agent. After
the last train had passed, about 10 p.
M, and he was locking up for the night
the agept discovered man in the wait
ing room and was obliged to request
him to leave the building. The stran.
ger, who is described as we'll dressed
man, smooth of face and very dark, left
the waiting room and went to the rear
of the station, where the agent left him
standing. 1t is thought that he was
concerned in the crime.

Diversified Farming.

j. d. Mcdonald has one of the best
farms in the county and is fast reaching
that point in his travels known as "Easy
Street." The farm adjoins Fort Lin
coin on the south and in addition to his
own land Mr.. Mcdonald leases 800 acres
adjoining. This year he had 800 acres
in corn, most Of it northwestern dent
though he has several other fine vari
cites. This crop is the finest Mr.. Nc.
Donald has raised for many years and
samples Of it are tit for exhibition in any
exposition. 1t has ripened nicely, and
is now safely IN the shock and will be
husked in few days. He estimates
the corn will go forty five bushels to the
acre.
Mr.. Mcdonald also had 300 acres in
wheat, besides several other varieties of
small grain on other tracts. He has
$50 head Of cattle, 12O hogs and II span
of horses.
His home is one Of the most comfort
able in the county and all its appurten-
ances are in keeping ltherewith.
Since spring Mr.. Mcdonald has sold
to the local markets over $1,000 worth
of hogs, bit of money that came handy
at time of tho year when the farmer
generally has no payday. Among the
hogs was one that tipped the scales at
TIA pounds, and after producing large
number of young, finally brought him
over $50 at the butcher shop. He fig
ures that if this hog had cost him 5000
originally, he would have made good
money on her.
One hundred acres of corn has been
sold to o. H. Will & Co., for seed, which
speaks we'll for its quality.

Where is Promoter?

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 22-L. a. Kin
ney, promoter who came here last fall
from South Dakota, is badly wanted by
those who bought stock from him in the
Koala Fuel Manufacturing CT. Kinney
came here and leased the Ignite coal
mine of John Satterlund of Washburn
and organized stock company under
the above name and succeeded in sell
ing generous number of shares in this
section and Minneapolis.
He claimed to have discovered a
cheap binder and proposed to establish
briquetting plant near Washburn. The
samples shown by him were the best
looking briquettes ever seen here and
little urging was necessary in the sale
of stock.
Kinney claimed to be taken sick, and
last spring, departed for unknown parts
for treatment and recuperation, since
which time he has not been seen and
now the people here are beseiged by
Minneapolis investors with inquiries as
to his whereabouts and why the COM
pany is not doing business.
