YECCNEN'S WORK
IN north Dakota
TWO STORES AT HANNAFORD
ARE LOOTED AND ROBBERS
MAKE GOOD HAUL.
The Post Office Is Robbed and Money
and Stamps Secured. Work Sup
posed to be that of Professionals.
There is no Clue.

Fargo, n. D., Sept. 10.-In what
was undoubtedly one of the most dar-
ing robberies that has been pulled off
in North Dakota this season, gang
of yeggmen made a big cleanup at
Hannaford, N. D., small town on
the Cooperstown branch of the Nor
them Pacific, rifling the postoffice,
the jackson general store and the
Hannaford Mercantile company, and
securing money, diamond rings, guns,
JeWelry and other valuables which
will net them close to $1,000.
In the Jackson general store, in
which the postoffice is located, it was
necessary to blow the safe in order
to secure the money. Four reports
were heard by the residents, but no
significance was attached to the
sounds at the time.
The exact loss in the posoffice de-
partment was placed by Postmaster
Jackson at $500 in cash. No stamps
or blank money orders were taken.
In the Jackson general store a large
amount of jewelry was stolen, suffi-
clent to bring the total loss to at
least $1,000. The building was en-
tered by breaking in the panel of the
door.
About 1925 in cash was secured at
the Hannaford Mercantile company.
The safe was found open here and no
noise was necessary. A diamond
ring was taken, stock of shotguns
and many other articles of value
were accessible.
There is absolutely no clue who the
robbers are. No one was seen about
the place during the evening. From
the fact thas hand car was stolen at
Darcy, which is but a short distance
away it is believed that the yeggmen
came from there. The car has not
been found as yet, and it is believed
it was switched to the 500 line which
is only eighteen miles from Hanna
ford,

Tom ochiltree,s Moon.

After Tom Ochiltree, that able con-
gress raconteur and laugh generator
for the afflicted rich, settled in New
York as the amuser of the John w.
Mackay family, he effervesced in a
thousand different directions, and was
as good in some ways as Sam Ward.
One night he escorted John Mackay's
friend, the Count de Biscuit, down to
the Battery to show the sight of New
York. The moon was grand, and the
count went into raptures as her
maiden reflection /rippled over the
pearly waters" He cried: "Eet ISIS
grand! Eet is grand! Dair ISIS no
such moon in all Italy!" Count"
said Ochiltree, solemnly, as befitted
the occasion, you just ought to see
the moon in Texas!"

TWAS IN 'rATER TIME.
One Thing, at Least, the Mother Was
Positive About.

The late Senator Platt Of Connec-
ticut enjoyed funny stories and could
tell a good many himself. Notwith-
standing his long public life, he al
ways remembered yarn that he car
ried from his school days.
One year when the district schools
opened in his town one of the teach
ers, in making a record of the ages
Of her pupils, as required by law,
found that one little girl, who came
from a family not noted for being
especially bright, was unable to say
when her birthday came.
So in order to complete her records.
the teacher walked two miles to see
the girls mother one afternoon after
school. Asked If she could remem-
Der just when her daughter was born,
the woman thought for some little
time, and then with sort of puz-
zled look, said:
"Well, the gal was born In later
time. that's sure, but can't member
whether they was a-plantin' on 'em
or a-diggin' on EN-"

school secret societies and that he
will be supported by other leading
members of the board. The COM

Bull Holds Up ROYAL Auto.

Madrid, Spain, Sept. 10.-An auto
mobile from the royal stables in
which Queen Victoria was driving
yesterday from San Sebastian to Bill
boa was suddenly confronted by a
large bull which planted himself in
the roadway in front of the Queens
car and compelled the chauffeur to
put on the brakes hurriedly and stop
the machine.
No collision appears to have oc-
Cured but her majesty is said to have
been greatly affected by the meeting
with the bull.
AS the sudden stopping of the royal
automobile threw the machinery into
disorder, the queen was compelled to
resume her journey to Bilbao in an
other carriage.

JUST A GENTLE HINT.
One Remedy Appearances Indicated
Nobleman Had Never Tried.

The earl of Surrey, afterward elev-
enth duke of Norfolk, who was a no
torious gourmand and hard drinker
and a leading member Of the Beef
steak club, was SO far from cleaniy in
his person that his servants used to
avail themselves of his fits Of drunken
ness-which were pretty frequent, by
the way-for the purpose of wash
ing him. On these occasions they
stripped him as they would a corpse
and performed the needful additions.
He was equally notorious for his
horror of clean linen. One day, on
his complaining to Dudley North at
his club that he had become per-
feet martyr to rheumatism and tried
every possible remedy without sue
cess the latter wittily replied:
"Pray, my lord, did you ever try
a clean shirt?"
