BANK ROBBERY
). At NEwFOlDEN
ST. 200 Secured by the Robbers
From the Banks Strong
X - Box.

Another bold bank robbery which
proves that there is an organized
gang OF safe blowers in the northern
part OF the state again, was CON-
m1tted at New Folden. Tuesday
night when unknown parties broke
into the back door of the bank there
and after piling hay and barbed wire
along the front of the building to
deaden the sound, they blew the safe
and secured $4,000 in cash.
: Newfolden is on the 500 road in
Marshall county and is not very far
across the country from Humboldt in
K1ttson County, where an attempt
was made to rob the bank last week,
though it proved unsuccessful owing
to the fact that the safe was provid-
ed with screw door.
The fact that the robbers used hay
to Ihuft1e the sound of the explosion
brings to. mind the blowing of the
Wygaard~~safe in Crookston last year
and from the similarity it is possible
that, this is the same gang that made
hauls at that time.
G. Q. Roemer, of Crookston, had
carload of barbed wire at the place
which he has been selling to the local
merchants. There was some of the
wire left in the car and it was stand
q fk0r ho u0H
bers piled the load of hay in front of
the store they broke into the car and
secured number of bales of the
wire which they piled around the
hay evidently to keep it from blow
ing away and also to help deaden the
sound.
There is absolutely no trace of the
robbers. They secured entrance to
the bank which is only small one
story affair by breaking in the back
door. A few days ago there was a
tramp seen hanging around town and
he'inay be one Of the party. A good
description has been secured of him,
and he may be landed. The work
looked like that OF old hands at the
game.
The robbery was not discovered
until next morning. when drayman
by the name of Ole Ca RI drove. in
to the streets and discovered the hay
piled in front Of the banking build
ing.
The bank was the Farmers State
Bank of Newfolden.

BONES OF BARNEY FOUND
SKELETON OF STEVE ADAMS
ALLEGED VICTIM ExHUMED,
Location Had Been Pointed Out by
the Prisoner-Identtfied by
Denver Dentist.

Telluride, Co.., Aug. 9.-What is
said to be the skeleton ut w. J.
Barney, the timber man employed on
the Smuggler- Union mine who mys-
terlously disappeared in June, 1901,
has been exhumed near the Alta mill,
near Gold King basin, IL miles from
town, by Gen. Bulkeley Wells, man
ager of the Smuggler-Union Mining
company, and others. According to
Mr.. Wells account the body was
found In an improvised grave and it's
location was pointed out by Steve
Adams, now in Jail in Idaho awaiting
a second trial on the charge of mur-
der, when he was here in June, 1905,
TN the custody of Wells
A part of the body or skeleton, in
cluding the teeth and that portion by
which identification could be most
readily established, was brought to
town by Gen. Wells.
Barney incurred the i'll will of the
union here by working at the Snug
gler-Unton mine after the strike in
April, 1901. It was this strike that
caused the riots on July of that year.
Adams is said to have told Wells that
Barney's; body was stripped Of its
clothing, which was buried some dis
tance from hts body. Afterward the
body was taken up and buried in an
other place.
While here tn 1905 Adams is said
to have pointed out to Wells the fir
tree in the darkness of which he
claimed to have stood when he fred
the fatal charge of buckshot into the
back of Manager Collins He also is
said to have told: Wells where he
threw the cartridges after removing
them from the gun.
Denver, COL, Aug. 9-Dr. Lord, q
local dentist, after examining the
teeth of the skeleton brought in by
Gen. Wells, identified them as belong
ing to Barney. He had performed
certain dental work for Barney and
was able to identify the skeleton from
this.
It is reported that warrants will be
issued for two men who were promi-
nent tn the local untop Of the West
ern Federation Of Miners when Bar
ney disappeared. Steve Adams, who
confessed to completely in the murder
If Barney in hts general confession,
made in Idaho but afterward repudi-
ated, told Gen. Wells, according to the
latter's statement, of the manner in
which Barney was made away with,
and it is upon this recital of details
that the warrants are to be sworn to.

THE EXHIBITS.

The Sheaf had intended to publish
a complete list OF all exhibitors and
their exhibits, but owing to the man
ner in which the records are kept we
found it impossible to make out such
a list in time for publication. Suffice
it to say that there are large num-
ber of entries in the various DEPART
ments, and that most of the exhibits
are of an excellent character. The
live stock division is in charge of L..
LambersOn, as perintendent, the
judges being, G. W. Brown and Nels
Malm. The exhibit of draft, carriage
nd registered horses, was especially
good, also that Of registered cattle.
The fat cattle OF the Riverside
farm challenged the admiration of all
visitors to the stock pavilion. In
hogs, sheep and poultry there were
many entries and many very credita-
bile EXHIBITS.
The Agricultural and Culinary Ex-
hib;t was in charge o.. j. S.H iilleboe
as superintendent, the judges on az
ricultura] products being J. D. Henry,
of Hallock, G. A. 'Tullar, OF Warren,
and James A. Frank, Graduate of the
State Agricultural College. Mrs. A.
GrinGeland and Miss Eva Powell were
the judges for the culinary exhibit,
which was quite complete and looked
tempting to all passers by.
G. E. LundQuist, Of Warren, is the
superintendent of the department of
manufactured articles, Mrs. G. E.
Keenan, being the assistant superin-
tendent. The exhibits 70 Jnls depart
ment are numerous and varied, the
display Of fancy work attesting to the
deftness Of the ladies' busy fingers.
Mrs. j. D. Henry, who is an expert
in this line of work, has been of
valuable assistance in arranging this
very interesting exhibit, Mr.. j. D.

charge of County Superintendent u
NJ. Mithun, as superintendent. The
specimens of work in map drawing,
composition, and water colors bysthe
pupils OF the rural schools, was very
good. The exhibit of the Warren
Public Schools, especially the manual
training department, is also deserving
of a high compliment.
Mr.. j. z. Easton is the superinten-
dent of track and races and has sue
ceeded in pulling off the best races
ever seen in Warren. Assisting him
are "a. Hitchcock, of Crookston, as
starter; D. Farrell, G. a. Aubal and
Thomas Il. johnson, the two latter
from Crookston, as time keepers. G..
E. Keenan, is the clerk Of the races,
and the judges are G. W. Brown,
Ell. Mossetin and j. d. Henry.
Hon A. Grindeland is the superin-
tendent of grounds, buildings and
police and has worked like a Trojan
to get everything in shape for the
big event, and the success of the fair
is in great measure due to his exc
cutive ability.
The officers of the Marshall Co.
Fair Association are: L. Lamberson,
president; Chas. Wittensten, vice
president; OH. Taralseth, secretary {;
and L. NJ. Olson, Treasurer. Each
has worked hard in his sphere to
make the fair a bowling success. Let
no one suppose for moment that a
fair like this could be gotten up
without work, ana great deal OF
work, and Warren has the boys who
can do it.
