DUNDEE BANK ROBBED
Robbers Cracked the Safe Last
Monday night and Secured
: $500 in Cash.

"A gang Of smooth cracksmen oper-
afed at Dundee last Monday night,
where they tapped the safe in the
State Bank, securing $500 in cash.
Ihe robbers then stole the hand car
and pumped to Heron Lake where all
trace of them was lost. A couple of
parties were arrested there on suspi-
c1on, but it is not yet known whether
they were implicated.
The people of Dundee were aroused
by the explosions, OF which there were
four, but acted like lot of frightened
sheep, being afraid to venture out on
the street to give the alarm.
The robbers had cut the telegraph
and telephone wires, before setting to
work, but this proved unnecessary as
no effort was made to notify the sur
rounding towns till daylight, which
gave the robbers several hours in
which to make good their escape.
Sheriff Fauskee and Photographer
d. j. Blume went up there Tuesday
morning to look over the scene, the
former to get clew to the culprits
and tho latter to take few views of
the wreck. MIR. Bloom says the bank
safe was total wreck, the outside
door being blown to the front of the
room and the large inside door was
blown out into the street. The glass
front was also total wreck. The fix.
lures were not badly damaged except
in the path taken by the doors ir
their flight. The clock over the safe
stopped at 8 minutes to l, which pro.
bably was the time of the first ex-
plosion. The first and second explo-
sions aroused one of the guests in the
hotel, who called others, and they
went up to the bank and saw the rob
tsrs at work, but were too frightened
to dO ANYTHING.

Boy Accidently Shot.

Conrad, a 12-year cid son of B. G
Bilsten of Indian Lake, was the VIC
tim of a serious shooting accident LAST
Saturday morning. Conrad in COM
pany with brother went over to a
neighbor's place, taking along a
shot gun. When they arrived Conrad
went to set the gun down inside a
stable door when the hammer caught
Of the sill with sufficient force to ex-
plode the cartridge. The charge
went through the boys wrist and
grazed the side of his face near the
the eye, but fortunately did not doing
any injury to his eyesight. The wrist
was so badly lacerated it may cause
him to loose the hand. DR.. Wiedow
was called to dress the injury.

road work is the grader. or road ma
chine. This machine is especially use
full in smoothing and crowning the

Unfortunately and to pull material
from bitches upon sand-clay soil.
Not infrequently turf, soil silt from
ditch DO toms are piled in the middle
of the road in a ridge, making mud
holes certainty. 1t is important in
using grader to avoid building up
the road too much at one time. A road
gradually built up by frequent use Of
the grader will last better than if
completad at one operation. The
foreman frequently thinks his road
must be high in the first instance. He
piles up material from 10 inches to a
foot in depth only to learn, with the
arrival OF the first rain, that he has
furnished the material for as many
inches Of mud. All material should
be brought up in thin layers,each lay
er we'll puddled and firmly packed
by roller or traffic before the next is
added. A common mistake is to
crown too high with the road machine
on a barrow road.
The split log drag should be used
to fill in ruts and smooth the road
when not too badly washed. The
drag possesses great merit and is so
simple in construction and operation
that every farmer should have ons.

A GRAND BENEFIT.
Entertainments Given By The
Coontown Minstrels a De- (
FTS4r-
cided Success.
Many Prominent Local People
Make a Hit as Burnt
Cork Artist.

The benefit entertainment given
last Friday evening at Masonic hall
by large number of prominent local
people, for miss Carrie McCune, was
great success, and many of the per-
formers made for themselves undying
regulations as burnt cork artists.
The entertainment was in two parts
the first of which was the one act
play, The Violin Maker of Cremona"
which was rielightfully presented by
a cast of young people. Miss Ethlyn
Patterson as "Giannina," the violin
makers daughter. was particularly
charming, while Sterling LawtoD as
the hunchbacked suitor, and Joe Hill
yard as "Sando," his rival, both gave
evidence of possessing histrionic abil-
ity of high order.
The second part Of the entertain
ment was an old fashioned minstrel
show, with all it's concomitants of
burnt cork, jokes, songs and dances.
Col. Jas. Mackay occupied the post
of honor as ipterlocutor and acquitted
himself like professional. G. j..
|Smallwood and Sam Stewart as end
men performed on the tamhourine
with consumate skill, while A. NJ.
Renner ana J. M. Addington in the
same position, manipulated the bones
like true artists. The whole bunch
were as natural as real GOODS and re-
peatedly brought down the house
with their jokes and funny stories.
Harry Hobson in his highwater trou-
sers gave very natural impersona-
ton of ''Yon Yonson, yust from Nor
vay.' Several fine solos were renderd,
those by Mr.. Frank Durfee, Mrs. j. j.
Dunnecliff and Mrs. J. N. Gould be-
ing especially pleasing. Several
delightful chorus selections we're
also rendered. Miss Bessie Anderson
as 'Topsy" gave very funny little
sketch, and was heartily alplauded.
Mrs. W. M. Evans and Mrs. Fl. S.
Hobson appeared in monologue
stunts with good effect.
The hall was filed to it's utmost
capacity and over a hundred people
we're turned away. On this account
it was decided to repeat the entertain
ment on Tuesday evening of this
week, when the hail was again we'll
filled. It was one of most elaborate
home talent entertainments given in
many years, as we'll one of the best
patronized. The proceeds were pre-
sented to Miss Carrie McCune, who
expects to leave shortly for her home
stead claim in North Dakota, where
she will spend the summer.
The credit for the success of the
entertainment is due largely to the
efforts of Miss McCune, who trained
company.
