stock was burned in the fire which de-
stroyed the Boston & Maine freight
shed Sunday night, estimated the
company's loss Monday at $4,000, with
about $4,000 insurance. The fire wiped
out the freight shed and it was with
difficulty that the surrounding prop

by the Whitney Co. and as it was an
old one. the loss to the railroad will
not be heavy. Nearly 100 men will be

not wish to lose the western portion
of the county AS the county will
be left if only Lake county wins,
Ward county will still have nearly
100 townships.
If Minot must part with Kenmare
and the other good towns with fine
surrounding country, she will do So

The county division matter has
taken a new phase in Mlnot. A
meeting of the business men was
held the latter part OF last week,
and it was decided that for our own
interests, Minot as a whole should
work against all four of the county
division propositions. Accordingly,
an executive committee consisting
of John E. Greene, R. c. Sanborn,
u. NJ. Davis and others, was appoint
ed, and they began investigating
the matter. The committee report
ed that it looked very much as tho
teh voters of the county were most
ly in favor of division of some Kind,
and reported that the best thing
possible to do was to work for the
Lake county division and that alone.
Accordingly, a message was sent to
Kenmare and a committee repre-
senting the Lake county divisionists
came to this city Monday morning
to confer with our citizens. Among
those coming from Kenmare were

Miller, he lost little time in throw
ing up his hands. Lye took to his
heels as soon as he saw an open
ing and ran to his home, followed
by the helper outside. Marshall
like good little fellow kept his
hands high in the air for there was
nothing else that he could do. The
men said nothing more, but went to
work at the till, and within three
minutes were out with their booty.
The alarm was spread, and the Of
ficers set at work. Three men
answering the description of the
bandits have been arrested and plac-
ed in jail. One of the hold up ar
lists is described as being tall,
while the other is short Both wore
black masks and black stouch hats
drawn over their faces. The pro-
pGietors have seen the men in jail
and believe that the right parties
have been arrested.
Shortly after the robbery, l.. E.
Nelson, who was standing near the
Branch store, heard two men talk
ing. One of them gave the other q
dollar, and the fellow complained
because he did not receive more. It
Is believed that the man who was
paid the dollar, is the one who
stood guard. The other was heard
to remark that they got only fifty
dollars and had to divide that up
between themselves, and that they
had worked mighty hard nr what
they got It is quite certain that
the men Nelson overheard, were
two of the guilty parties.

Chef Harris Robbedat Glenburn

A daring hold up is reported from
Glenburn, and two men, Art Howard
and Bert Sarincey, were arrested in
that town late Monday night, ,charg-
ed with the crime. The Indepen-
dent has been unable to get ali
of the particulars but this is the
story as near as we can find it
out Chester Harris Glenburn
resident, had been drinking quite
a good deal Monday and flashed a
big rolf of bills in the GlenburD
pool hail. Two men spotted him
and shortly before dark one Of them
stepped up to Harris and placing
a big gun close to his heart, grabbed
him by the back and marched him
out of the back door, At the same
time, the second man, reached into
Harris pocket and took therefrom
his pocket book containing the mon
ey. Then they marched him to the
railroad track and commanded the
man to walk down the track and to

be sure that he did not turn around
for fear of being plugged. Harris
kept right on walking, and no doubt
thought of that old familiar song,
Il don't know where I'm going, but
I'm on my way He didn't turn
around Why should he? Life Is
sweeter to Chester than money be
sides his money was gone anyway.
The Glenburnites held a hasty con-
vention and decided to send a dele
CATION of the bravest citizens down
the track to notify Chester that 1t
was safe for him to right about face
and march in an opposite direction.
He was caught somewhere between
Glenburn and Deering. The two
men arrested, we understand, were
& .)prehended in the garnet Of tae
hotel. Their hearing will be held
before Judge Murray today.
Harris claims that he is loser to
the extent Of $3.50.
