GOLDFIELO ACCOUNT
Of A DARING
ROBBERY
In Which o. Young Of Grand
Forks Figured Prominently
Victims Were Lucky.

The following account of the hold
up in Goldfiefild, Nevada, in which
Owen Young of this city, figured as
a pincipal, is taken from the Goldfield
Chronicle of Jan. 81.
zone Of the nerviest hold-ups ever
= perpretrated in this camp was carried
out successfully between $3.50 and
$3.50 o'clock this morning at the Brown
Palace hotel on Main street. In the
office of the hotel were Night Clerk
Smith, B. A. Hayden of San Francisco,
A. G. Morrison and Owen Young of
Rhyolite. The there last named had
arrived but an hour before from the
south in an automobile after a hard
trip consuming about Fifteen hours
and were about to retire to their
rooms.
We're Little Short.
Suddenly two men wearing masks
unevenly cut from black cloth entered
the front door, the leader remarking
Boys, we're little short and we
need your money; throw up your
hands" The order was responded to
promptly by all but Mr.. Hayden, who
did not realize at first that hold-up
was in progress, but was reminded
upon looking down the aperture of
Colts IA, as it looked to be.
Zone of the men who appeared to
be the leader ordered his pal to keep
the men covered while he went
through their pockets. He secured
only few dollars in silver from the
guests but had better luck from the
frightened clerk whom he forced to
give up the contents of the till, about
$2S. They tried to force the clerk
to open the safe but he convinced
them that he did not know the COM
bination. They were evidently novices
at the work and very nervous and in
their hurry missed several hundred
dollars which the guests and clerk
had in pockets which the thugs failed
to search.
Was Quickly Done.
"The time occupied by the bandits
was not over two or three minutes
and when they left one remained at
the door for half minute to see that
no attempt was made to follow them.
The officers were notified but up to
this time no clue has been found to
aid them in experimenting the pepper
traitors of the outrage.
Fortunate Guests.
"The three guests of the hotel who
were victims of the hold-up consider
themselves lucky to have escaped so
lightly as the thugs were greatly in
censed at their failure to secure more
plumber and cursed their victims
roundly. A. c. Morrison and Owen
Young are from Rhyolite at which
place the latter is said to be in the
banking business. B. A. Hayden is
from San Francisco and lived formerly
at Bakersfield. He came from Los
Angeles to take tour of the mining
fields with a view to possible invest
ment in southern Nevada"

wolves ARE B0[D|N
CAVALIER CO.
NOW
Scarcity of Food on Account of
Deep Snow is Causing Con-
siderable Trouble.

Wolves are more numerous in Cav
alier county this winter than for sew
eral years past. The deep snow ap-
pears to have made them unusually
bold and ravenous. A farmer living
near Milton had his dog snatched al
most out of the sleigh by pack of
wolves and torn limb from limb. The
dog attempted to leap into the sleigh
but was nabbed by the wolves be-
fore reaching safety.
Another wolf story comes from Mum
ich. 1t is told by Frank Wengeler,
who was driving to town, his dog
running ahead of the team when it was
attacked by three prairie wolves. The
dog put up a hard fight but couldn't
beat off its assailants and was only
saved after Wengeler landed among
them with neckyoke, when they de-
camped.

THE MURENBERGER CASE
It Will Be Argued on an Appeal in
Circuit Court Of Appeals at an
Early Date.

The famous Nurenberger case will
be argued at the forthcoming session
of the U. 8. circuit court of appeals.
All of the papers in the famous case
have been forwarded and the attor-
neys for both the defendant and the
government are ready for the legal
battle, the outcome of which will de-
termine whether or not Frederick Nu-
renberger is to spend what his friends
claim will be the balance of his days
in federal prison.
The Nurenberger case was one Of
the hardest fought legal battles ever
witnessed in the federal courts.
Nurenberger, a pioneer resident of
North Dakota, an old soldier and high
ly respected by vast circle of ac-
quaintances in the state, was arrest
ed two years ago on charge of sub
ornation of perjury. 1t was charged
that he had imported widows and SOL
diers and had induced them to file on
land in the northern part of the state
under contract with him to dispose of
the land to him as soon as final proof
should have been made.
For many months special agents of
the landoffice department worked on
the case against Nurenberger and
thousands of dollars were spent in the
preparation Of the case. A verdict
of guilty was returned by the jury on
seven counts of the indictment and
the aged defendant was sentenced to
term of Imprisonment in the federal
penitentiary.
A stay of execution was granted and
the preparation of the appeal was
commenced Numerous delays result
ed in some criticism, it being alleged
that the defense expected that the de-
PENDANT might die before the appeal
could be taken up.
The announcement that the case will
be taken up at the next term of the
circuit court of appeals disposes of
this and it is now only a question OF
few months before the points of law
involved in the case will have been de-
cided.
