Bold Attempt Maize to Blow Open
Postoffice Safe But Robbers Wers
FciIed.
The Hettinger postofilce was enter.
ed and an attempt to blow the safe
came very nearly being successful.
1t was a very narrow escape from
robbery and a little more persistence
on the part Of the yeggmen and they
would have accomplished their pur
pose. AS it was the interior Of the
safe including portion of the door
and combination was badly riddled
They evidently used but one charge
of explosive. Another light one and
the valuable contents of the safe
would have been theirs. It seems
however, that they had intended to
get results with the one charge and
failing in this they dared not risk
another lest they be heard and cap
tured. The attempted burglary took
place at 4:30 o'clock one morning last
week as the night man at the Gold
Mine cafe heard the report at that
time. He was the only one to hear
it however and thought nothing Of it.
1t was not until the postof1ce was
opened at the usual morning hour
that the discovery was made.
The burglars gained entrance by
forcing the back door. From all ap.
pearances they had all the parapher.
MALTA for professional safe cracking
and put it all into use. They drilled
hole into the safe door at a point
where they evidently expected that a
charge would blow the combination,
release the lock and give them access.
In this hawever they apparently made
miscalculation as the charge was
about one inch too high and while it
blasted part of the combination, and
the interior portion of the door, the
lower part of the combination was
left intact and that alone prevented
the robbery. Had they known that
the explosion had not been noticed
they could have easily completed
their job however, with one light
charge.

HIS DEALINGS ARE CROOKED.
Bank Cashier Who Commits Suicide Is Dishonest From
Policy.

"A crooked twist was given to the
accounts in every line of business in
which John Hampstead, the default.
ing cashier of the Emerado bank who
committed suicide last week was con.
nected. In the bank, in the Farmers
elevator enterprise, in the Office of
school treasurer, in an automobile
dealing partnership, and even in his
private business affairs, dishonesty
was the mans policy. Investigations
disprove any theory that in moment
of weakness he might have taken that
which was not his.
J.: S. Hatcher was appointed special
administrator of Hempstead's estate,
on application of the Northern Trust
company, in which Hampstead was
bonded, and which is surety for any
shortage that may be found in the
Emerald bank, the Farmers Elevator
company and the treasury of Emerald
school district,
Affairs at the Farmers Elevator
company are badly tangled. At the
close Of an Investigation it was given

out that a shortage Of about $500
was disclosed. While there is a short
age in the bank, which is owned by
John Birkholz of Minneapolis, it will
be small, it is believed. Hempstead's
shortage as school treasurer is 5000.

JUDGE SCORES POLICEMAN.
Assaulting Of Citizen Was Act Of
Coward

Declaring that for a police officer to
assault a citizen is a most cowardly
act and typical of the way they do
things in Russia, but not in America.
Judge Nehemiah Davis of Minot
roundly scored Mic Thilgen, who
pleaded guilty to the charge of as.
saulting railroad man on the streets
of Minot.
Mic Thilgen recognized that he had
done wrong, and Immediately after
the commission of the crime decided
to plead guilty. This saved the coun.
ty much expense, and evidenced re.
formatory disposition on the part of
Mr.. Thilgen, and for this reason the
Judge was lenient with him, filming him
$25 and costs, amounting to $25.
Mic walked over to his companions
and wrote out check for $50, hand.
ing it to the clerk of court, Ray Hop.
Tins.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Da.
Wis said that Thilgen had pleaded
guilty to assaulting a man who was
his prisoner. This, the Judge said,
was a cowardly act, and deserves the
most severe punishment He said
that the duty of police officer was
to keep the peace, not to deliberately
break. it.
The Judge said that he had heard It
stated that some of the Minot police
officers say that they assault people
only when they need it. In other
words, the police officers consider
themselves the judge. jury and execu.
toner.
They decide who needs an assault
and when they need it.
'This may be the method employed
in Russia but not in the United
States," said the Judge.
The Judge said that the punishment
was entirely inadequate, for he con.
sidered it much worse offense for a
police officer to commit an assault
than for private citizen.

LAWYER MET TRAGIC FATE.

Col. J. G. Marcy Of Minot Burned to
Death at His Home.
Col. j. G. Marcy, seventy-seven
years old, once one of the most brill.
liant attorneys in the Northwest, burn
ed to death at his home in Minot last
week.
The fire was caused by the upset.
ting of lamp which set fire to the
bed clothes. Col. Marcy made a des.
perate effort to escape, but was over
come by the smoke and flames, and
fell face downward near the bed. He
was dead before the fire department
arrived.
J. M. O'Connell. claim agent of the
Great Northern railroad, was serious.
ly burned in attempting to rescue the
aged man.
Col. Marcy was pioneer Of North
Dakota and Ward county. He retired
from active practice some years ago,
and was living alone.

alton having been in doubt up to the
present time.
The work in the eastern part Of tho
state was in charge of J. G. Barry Of
the state university, and consisted in
the mapping of the geological forma-
tions Of Pembina and Cavalier coun.
ties and adjoining portions of Walsh
and Ramsey counties. It was found
that the northeastern part Of North
Dakota can be divided, on the basis Of
its topographic features, into three
distinct districts, namely: the Red
river valley, the deeply dissected Penn
bina mountains bordering the valley
on the west, and the high rolling
prairie which forms the greater part
Of Cavalier county.
Red River Drainage.
The origin, physical characters and
drainage of the Red river valley were
studied. Occasional occurances of
sand and gravel and the old beach
lines of glacial Lake Agassiz were
mapped. The lack of water suitable
for domestic purposes is an important
problem in parts of the Red river val.
ley. Data in regard to wells and
characters of waters was collected.
The survey will present these facts
in systematized form, and hopes to
make suggestions that will enable
people living in these districts to solve
the problem.
The origin, physical characters and
economic resources Of the Pemblna
mountains were studied. These natur.
al resources are brick shales, cement
rock, sand and gravel. Much material
in regard to these was gathered in
addition to that already secured the
year before by Mr.. v. ]. Melsted, and
will enable the survey to prepare a
report on the cement resources of the
state.
The greater part of Cavalier county
is a glaciated rolling, imperfectly
drained prairie. Its origin, character
and drainage were studied and will
be discussed in full in the forthcom-
ing fifth biennial report. Deposits of
sand and gravel are mapped where
they had been exposed by natural and
artificial means, such as road making.
A small amount of time was spent in
studying the terminal moraines, which
are not developed in a very decided
way.
Gas Wells of Bottineau.
During the early part of September
the gas wells Of Bottineau county
were visited. Must data was collected
in regard to the depth, pressure, char.
acteristics and apparent quantity Of
the gas deposits. In general, the pro.
ductive area seemed to be restricted
to the neighborhood of the Parker
farm, nine and one-half miles south
of Westhope. The gas occurs in a
shallow trend, the top of the gas bear.
ing sand being about ITO feet below
the surface, at the base Of the glacial
drift, the sand layer being about TWEEN
ty feet thick. It is reported that the
pressure is sufficient to blow of at
least 100000 cubic feet per day.
Prospecting is now going on to strike
deep seated and extensive bodies Of
gas. Gas is also reported about six
miles southwest Of Mohall. The
parties in charge of the prospecting
for gas are thoroughly in sympathy
with the work of the survey, and will
keep it informed of the progress made
and of the strata encountered during
the search.

be misunderstood by amusement
lovers for while it is a home talent
entertainment it is not of the ordi-

For this reason it will be an enter

interested in promoting the education
