Thirty women of Crosby, members
Of the W. G. T. U. gathered Friday
and made things lively for the slot
machines and blind piggers. They
first entered every place in the town
where slot machines were manlpu-
lated, loaded the machines onto a
dray and had them hauled to the
edge of town where they were smash
ed all to pieces with axes. They then
visited the blind pigs and Carrie Ma

and ran the beer into the cutters
No attempt was made to stop the
women in their work of putting down
the liquor traffic, tho many tear was
shed by some of the old topeds whose

One of the cleverest pieces of de-
tective work ever seen in this city,
and on the part of Officer Pat Hy-
land. resulted in the arrest Tuesday
night of two young men, Fred stble
adm Joe Hockey, who have confessed
to breaking into five of the places OF
business Of this city and stealing sew
eral hundred dollars worth Of arti-
cles.
The following places were burglar
lied by these young desperadoes ac-
cording to their confession to the po'
lice: Minot Steam Laundry, Mnus
Bros. General store, Hand Laundry,
Central Barber Shop, Sliter's barber
shop and Everybody's Meat Market.
The burglaries have been commit
tied at various times during the past
three weeks, and altho the police
knew what was going on, they were
unable to locate the guilty parties, al
tho extra men had been put on and
everyone, including the citizens we're
on a careful lookout.
AS Hyland was standing on the
street Monday afternoon, he noticed
the two burglars, take some cigars
from their pockets, and treat some
friends. They were we'll dressed, and
and didn't look like suspicious fel-
lows, but he thought it strange that
two men out of work, should be so
flush with cigars. He shadowed them
and saw them go to their room on

Bad Men with Big Guns Landed by Officer Hyand Afte
= Clever Piece Of Detective Work---Had Burglar
lied Nearly Dozen Places

Thifd streets, where they occupied
a basement room and did a little
batching. Hyland stationed himself at
the City hall Monday evening at six
o'clock and waited until nine o'clock
when the men emerged from their
rooms. AS. they passed by the city
hall, the officer arrested them, and
placed them in jail. They swore that
they had done nothing, but on search
ing them Hyland found a large num-
ber of cigars, of the same brand that
was stolen. He went to their room
and there he gound in a grip about
seventy dollars worth of clothing
taken from Mus Bros. Store, also a
lot of stuff gotten from the laundries
He also recovered nearly all of the
razors stolen from Sliter's shop, and
withal, secured nearly all of the goods
that had been stolen.
The younger of the two, who is
nineteen years old, then confessed &c
the robberies, but the other was OBJ
stinate until Hyland made him cough
up.
The fellows were we'll provided
with guns, having two dangerous wea
pons on their persons. They also had
chisels and a good kit of burglars
tools. They claim however that they
did not blow the safe at White Bros.

entered the buildings generally after
midnight, but never used explosives.
