Oakdale, Dunn Co. N. D., last
week and made their way across

miles in four days time, arriving
here Sunday. The Wave can
hardly approve of little boys runn-

but commend the boys on their re-
markable display of grit. A letter
mailed by the boys father was on
the road a day longer than the
boys were.

MANNHAVEN
P. 0. ROBBED
Crime was Plotted in a Blind Pig
Leader Makes His Escape
with the Cash.


haven postoffice of s58 in cash and
sos in stamps on Aug. 26, Oscar
Dolbow, James F. Gilbert and
George Moore, members of the
crew of the boat Bismarck which
phys the waters of the Missouri,
were bound over to the United
States court at Bismarck by United
States Commissioner NJ. j. Nc
Kenzie.
The story of. the robbery and
the subsequent actions of the
robbers, which were ferreted out
by Postofice Inspector John II.
Lucey, as told by Deputy U. S
Marshall Gilbert Stout who re-
turned from Bismarck yesterday
is like tale Of fiction.
Early in August the three al
lodged robbers hired out to the
owner of the boat, each coming
separately to the owner and pre-
tending to be strangers, although
it has been learned since that they
were we'll acquainted before and
have probably been guilty of COM
mitting other crimes:
When Mannhaven was reached
on August 26 the three men spent
most Of the afternoon rowing the
city and that night they met in a
low blind pig joint and there
plotted the crime. They broke
into the postoffice and one of them
who was evidently an expert at the
business managed to work the
combination and the rest was easy.
They went back to the blind pig
and spent the night in an apparent
carousal which evidently intended
to act as an alibi should they be
accused of the crime.
1t was not until early the next
morning that they evidently be-
came alarmed about search
being made of the boat and they
decided to hide the swag. Dolbow
who was the leader of the gang
took the money and stamps and
going into the galley was just
about to place it behind a large
beam when he was surprised by
the cook, James Campbell who had
entered quietly. Dolbow was
thrown off his guard for moment
and became frightened believing
that he was discovered and he drew
a revolver and threatened to shoot
the cook if the latter ever divulged
the secret that he had hidden the
money there or if the cook touched
a cent of it. The cook was fright
ened and promised to keep still
and Dolbow went out.
Later that morning Dolbow sud-
denly became mutudous without
any provocation and when the
owner of the boat ordered him to
do some work he refused with an
oath and was promptly fred. The
owner paid him his wages, guided
the boat to the bank and kick
ed Dolbow off without giving him
a chance to 60 near the galley
which Dolbow asked to be allowed
to do.
The other members Of the gang
were jubilant thinking that they
would get Dolbow's share Of the
plumber but when they made q
search they found that their leader
had played a foxy game and had
gotten away with the whole Of the
booty.
Dolbow made his way across
country twenty miles to Under
wood which is on the 500 and he
beat his way to Bismarck where
he was picked up by the police
as a vagrant The other two men,
mon. Moore and Gilbert, stayed
on the boat until the return to
Bismarck when they were met BY
warrants. Inspector Lacey having
completed his vestigation and
become assured Of the guilt of the
three. 81

physical defects. The elevated
baNdShake Is one of these, and a
Paris contemporary throws an in
terestng light upon its origin. 1t
appears that a prince, a leader of
society IN the French capital, had
cafbuncle or some such inconvenient
and painful growth on his shoulder
Whenever a friend gave him hand
shake the operation as far as the
prince was concerned was most pain
tuI. 10 prevent this he raised his
hand horizontally to his shoulder,
and. if We may use the expression,
had The whip hand"
This new method of handshake
was the establishment and admira-
ton OF certain persons always on
tn" lookout for the latest in society,
who thought that the prince had in
auguratcd new fashion which one
sees daily III operation in the Strand.
The dainty lace handkerchief
which ladies use owes its origin also
TO the defects Of nature. The un-
happy Empress Josephine intro
duced the fashion. She suffered
from bad teeth, and living in the
line when American dentistry was
unknown, she cast about her for
some means to hide the defect. The
camhrlc handkerchief with rich lace
was the outcome. If the empress
wished to laugh or had to open her
mouth widely the handkerchief was
rcQuisitoned.
Again. yellow lace has its origin
in sadness, according to tradition. A
lady If distinction had lost her hus-
band by shipwreck or some other
cause. She was impressed with the
idea that he would return and vowed
to continue wearing until he was re-
stored TO her the lace which adorned
her dress when she said farewell.
