produced is much superior in many
ways to that made by older methods.

quality is made from ordinary scrap

jected to the action of an electric oven,
in which the necessary carbon, man
ganese, nickel and other substances re-

Barley sold at 80 cents in the Min

and the trade is dazed at the rapid

Whether present prices are legitimate

problem; for the situation is without
precedent. The high price of oats has
an influence, and if they are worth the
money some think that perhaps barley
is too.

Fooled by a night Waterman and
pursued by a score of men who had
been aroused by the ringing of the
village 6rebell, carcksmen who at
tempted to rob the State bank at Wa
coma early Friday barely escaped
with their lives. The robbers entered
the town after midnight and forced
open the bank, which they had evil
IDENTIFY seen before. They went to work
on the safe at once and it was while
they were busy in their work that
Michael Zahler, the village marshal,
saw them. Realizing that the bank
was being looted he went to the home
of the cashier, F. J. Efertz, who took
a revolver and joined him. They were
soon joined by others who lived near
the cashiers home. Then the marshal
rang the town fire bell and aroused
the entire community, that an effect
ual Gordon might be formed. The
robbers, hearing the bell, rushed from
the bank. One of them went toward
the railroad station. while another
jumped into a buggy and drove away
rapidly. The safe was not damaged.
The robbers had cut the burglar
alarm wires before attempting the
robbery and had not applied the
nitroglycerine.
