Farmers Burn
Phone Poles
Fuel Famine Of Northern Half Of State
Still Serious-Farmers Burn
Telephone Poles

The fuel famine, especially in
Ward county, continues and
farmers everywhere are suffering
untold agonies from the cold.
Mohall, Calvin and Crookston
are among the towns suffering
the most from the lack Of coal.
The first car of coal reached Mo-
hall Sunday afternoon but there
were hundreds ofpeople wanting
it and it was given out in sack
fulls. Farmers south west of
Mohall chopped down over a
mile of telephone poles to use
for coal. The noe car of coal did
not relieve the situation and the
commercial club has made sew
eral calls to Minneapolis for
more coal.
The railroads claim that they
are doing all they can to relieve
the situation, but are they?
They succeed in getting passen-
ger trains thru then why not
coal trains? Reports state that
cars Of coal were "Lost in the
Shuttle, y and had to be looked
up. 1t appears that the roads
have not been trying very hard
to relieve the suffering people Of
this state or car loads of coal
would be run straight thru in
stead Of being Lost in the Shut
he."
Unless something is done and
done at once there will be many
a shack upon the prairies of our
state where the inmates will
freeze to death for the lack of a
little coal.

breakfast at hotel there and went
for walk. Out on the bank of the
Missouri river the men lay down to
rest. Voorten went to sleep. Freeman
shot him in the head, the bullet tear
ing out his left eye. The shock renJ-
cred Voorten insensible and Freeman
left him.
Later Voorten wandered into town
for medical assistance. He says he
threw Tracy's diamond in the weeds
for fear it would incriminate him.
The sheriff was notified of his condi-
ton and questioned him, but Voorten
wouldn't talk.
He denied all knowledge of Free
man. But the two had been seen to-
gether earlier in the day, and a posse
went out for the other man. Free
man was arrested short distance
away. He gave the officers a lively
chase.
Freeman was more talkative. He
confessed to the Denver hold-up and
to the Bessemer robbery. He said he
had shot Voorten accidentally while
cleaning his gun. Frightened be-
cause he thought Voorten dead, he
fled from the spot. Later he returned,
only to find voorten missing. Then
he tried to make his escape in earnest,
but was arrested.
Freeman had Tracy's watch chain,
and a watch belonging to the Besse-
mer store. The watch was enough to
convict the two men, who were
brought to Pueblo, tried and sent
enced.
All the officers think Freeman, who
is young man, tried to kill voorten

CONVICT VOORTEN WON'T SAY
SAY WHERE DIAMOND ISHID

George VOOrten, serving IA years in
the Colorado penitentiary for bur-
glary and robbery, had a guest today.
w. L. Tracy was the visitor. He isn't
interested personally in Voorten, but
+ would like to know what the con-
vict did with a $3.50 diamond he Sc
cured when he stuck up" Tracy in
Denver on the seventh of last June.
Mr.. Tracy, who is a travelling agent
for the Owosso Casket company,
makes regular trips to Canon City, but
this one was of more than unusual i'm
portance. Tracy tells an interesting
story.
He was walking in the south side Of
Denver, early on that June evening,
when two men stuck guns in his
face and went through him. They got
IS in money, a gold watch and chain
sixteenth carats in weight. The stone
was set in a shirt stud. The holdups
made a clean getaway and Tracy did
not hear from them for several weeks
later. R+r.. .--.-.
The two men, Voorten and ED"
Freeman. came to Pueblo, where they
robbed a jewclry store in the Besse-
mer district. They secu4ed quite a lit
tie loot there and again made their
escape without even being hurried.
Next they turned up at Herman, a
small town in Missouri. They ate
