BANDITS LOOT BANK
Secure Eight thousand Dollars at
Stephen, Marshall County.
OFFICERS TAKE UP PURSUIT
Number of Suspects Rounded Up,
Three of Them Having Crossed
the Canadian Border.

Stephen, in Marshall county, was
terrorized by a gang of six rob
bers who dynamited the safe and
vault of the Scandal State bank and
carried off $4,000 in cash after a re
volyer duel with William Merdink, a
merchant who lives upstairs in a block
adjoining the bank. He was aroused
by the first explosion and, taking his
revolver, crawled to the cement roof
and, lying behind the parapet, opened
fire on the robbers as they left the
bank with the loot. The robbers re-
turned his fire and for few minutes
there was fusillade which aroused
the entire town, but none of those
near at hand had gone to assist Mer-
dink. Merdink escaped injury but at
least one of the robbers was badly
wounded and blood was spattered on
the sidewalks from the bank to the
stables of Al Dickerson, manager of
the lumber yard, where the wounded
robber and two others stole a buggy
and horse and drove out of town,
heading north. The other three rob-

Three men believed to have been
implicated in the dynamiting of the

were arrested at Emerson, Man; two
others were seized on similar charge
at Greenbush, Mimi, and three others

While tracking the bank robbers a
party of officials discovered a dead
body on the prairie eight miles north
of that place. The body was deprived
of garments and lying few feet from
the corpse was a small pile of ashes,

The trouble with most cough cures
is that they constipate. Kennedv's
Laxative Cough Syrup does not con-
stipate, but on the other hand its Taxa
tive principles gently move the bowels.
It is pleasant to take and it is especi-
ally recommended for children as it
tastes nearly as good as maple sugar.

Ambassador Joseph II. Choate met
Bishop Potter one day in New York
city Mr.. Choate said:
See here, Potter, you must wear
something to make yourself more cas-
lily distinguished. Why. a man just
met me and addressed me as Bishop
Potter. Awkward mistake, wasn't it?''
Well, Choate, I do think there's
something of a esemblance-slight you
know, for of course you hardly travel
in that handsome class that I fit in SO
snugly.''
Possibly, possibly" slowly replied
Mr. Choate. Il confess there's some
resemblance and possibly the mistake
was excusable, for you must admit |
look more like clergyman than you
do"
During recent visit to a western
city Bishop Potter was entertained sew
eral days in the home of prominent
churchman. His room was prepared
and garlanded for the occasion. and
among other details his hostess ar
ranged upon the dressing table an elab-
crate silver toilet set. The bishop on
seeing it carefully transferred it to a
drawer. replacing it with his own set
The divine's visit over, the hostess
went to the room and was Sismayed
to find her silver missing. She searched
everywhere in vain and questioned the
servants to no purpose. Finally she
summoned up courage to write a very
apologize letter to the bishop, asking
If by any chance he had found any of
the articles among his luggage. There
was an immediate and characteristic
reply. The telegram read as follows:
Poor, but honest Look In the wash
stand drawer
At one time Bishop Potter was a
speaker at meeting in the interest of
an organization of which woman is
president. With the idea of being face
tious the bishop inquired Of the presi-
dent. How many long winded speak
ers will there be at this meeting.

You are the only one" she replied
charmingly.

Writes Letter to Old Friends at Minot
North Dakota.

North Dakota.
Robert S. Noah. convicted OF naur-
dering Gus johnson near Kenmare
and sentenced to be hanged Oct. -,
has written a letter to Judge Murray
of MiEot, in which lie says:
Dear Sir: Warden Hellstrom Is
building nice state hotel down he1e,
with 160 cells. hot and cold water in
each room, and If he is going to hang
all the boarders the warden will have
hard time to keep up hotel expenses.
Don't you think SO:
We'll, Judge, if things turn up the
way think they will will probably
be in Minot to pay you and B. S. Kel-
ley visit some time in September
next. 1t is an awful short road, in
deed. Judge, that never has a turn,
and have almost got to the gate. So
I thought would just drop you few
lines once in while to let you know
that never forget those that don't
forget me. So give Wallace George
and Sheriff Lee my best regards, and
tell the prisoners 10 cheer up there,
for there are bettr days coming. I
will close. hoping that prosperity may
follow you all the remainder of your
life, and when all is over here that
you will inherit home over on that
other green shore. Very respectfully
yours. D. NJ. NOAH"

CHASTITY FIND IN MOUSE RIVER.
Head and Arms Of Unknown Man
Missing.

Head and Arms Of Unknown Man
Missing.
Was the man taken from the Mouse
river last week at Minot murdered?
While walking along the river bank
w. H. Hatton of Seattle. WASH, and
Chas. Hemming of Youngstown. Ohio,
saw human foot sticking out of the
water, and on further investigation
the body of man with both arms, a
foot and the head missing was brought
to view. Coroner Larson was imme.
diately notified by the men making
the find, and going to the scene the
body was brought to the city and
taken to the morgue at Weageant's un.
dertaking rCcms. From all appear.
ances the body had been in the water
for some time, and as the head is
missing II may be almost impossible
to identity the unfortunate man. sher.
III Lee says that there has been no
one reported missing for some time.
and it is therefore believed that the
dead man may have been a stranger
to these parts. An investigation will
be made. however, with a view to es.
tablishing the identity Of the man.

The accused was taken before NJ. H.

case was dismissed
Then another warrant was secured
from Squire B. Poe" and he dis.
missed the accused because the war.
rant had not received the states at
torney's o. X. as required by law.
In each OF these proceedings Chief
Davidson acted as his own counsel,
and nearly the entire citizenship of
Williston was lined up for the defense.
Banker Will Davidson signed the
necessary bonds until this time. and
the party made read: to start west at
once.
Chief Davidson then secured the
third warrant. this time with the

longing to Dr.. Mykeistad was at the
side door and Ekberg ws hurried out
OF the city, and in pursuit of the Kill

Chief Davidson was indignant and
hurried by train to Buford on the state
line, where lie waited for the Kill

reached Mr.. Kildall gave Ekberg his
Panama hat and took the chauffeur's
leather cap, and then started around
the town on foot. 'rhe chiefs posse
saw the wayfarer and allowed Ek6erg
and the machine to fly through Buford
without interruption.
The chief hurried up to the pedes.

Then he saw it was killdall. The lat
