cRAwLED UNDER THE QUILT
Dundee Man Was Much Afraid Of the
Bank Robbers.

The Springfield correspondent writes
The Heron Lake News this story:
"We hear that Ole Johnson, the i'm.
plement man at Dundee, heard the
first shot fired by the bank robbers
at that place. He looked out and
saw a man guarding the door of the
bank. Then he loaded shot gun
stood it near the bed, crawled into
bed and covered his head with the
quilt where he lay till six o'clocl;
next morning. Then he got up, took
the shot gun, went out and hunted
up the marshal and told him the
bank had been robbed and together
they went down town looking for
trouble. Ole says it's good thing
the fellows got out of town before
morning, for they wouldn't have got
ten any breakfast in that town.
We heard also that three other men
stood near the depot and watched
while the bank was being robbed, and
afterwards said they would have fol-
lowed the fellows up when they left
town, but they We're afraid they might
catch them and be unable to let 60
quick enough"

From Saturdays Daily.
There has been considerable discus
sion of late rs to whether the game
and fish laws of the state permit
shooting of fish, many who are I'M
familiar with the law expressing the
belief that there was no law relative
to this method of killing fish.
For the benefit of the uminformed
the Free Press will state that the law
of Minnesota. does not permit the
shooting of any kind of fish.
The law is very plainly worded
in this particular. , TO the effect that
fish must be caught with a hook at
tached to line held in hand, or
a hook and line attached to a pole
held in the hand. Except the, pickerel
suckers, red horse and bullheads may
be speared at any time, without limit.
No fish, of any kind can be caught
with a hook and line during the month
of April.

is threatened with bankruptcy.
The saloon licenses expire April %

guilty, brings the loss of revenue al

President to Receive Tots at
White House Monday.
EACH TO CARRY EGGS TO HIM
Grown Ups viii Have to Stand Aside
z While He Pays Homage to the
Children Of Washington.
Especial to The Free Press.l

Washington, April l5.-NeXt Monday
will be children's Day at the White
House, and all the little tots of tn,
national capital are looking forward
with ill-restrained glee to the great
event. 1t will be "eggrolling time
on the handsome lawn south of the eX
ecutive mansion, and, as in past years
President Roosevelt will cause to bt
thrown open unreseryedly to the child
rem. And the lawn will be exclusive
ly for the Riddles.
Bar the Grown. Ups.
Unless grown-up is accompanied
by a tot too young to take care OF
himself the big policemen who guard
all the gates blandly smile and fur
nish the information that the little
people have a monopoly on the
grounds. Somtimes grown-ups are
so anxious to get in that they will
borrow" a child from its mother
if she has more than one-and thus
slip into the enclosure to watch the
children at play.
SeQItI OF SnllQ Lie.
The 'White House lot" is the CEN
ter of child life of Washington on
Easter Monday. 1t is not the only
park to which the little folks resort,
but it is the center-the headquarters
of all the fun. The president usually
steps out into the rear balcony of the
White House and studies the pretty
picture presented by thousands of
happy children. And Mrs. Roosevelt
always spends some time watching the
antics of the egg-rollers. Sometimes
the president takes time for a few
words and he never has so apprecia-
tive an audience anywhere else. For
the little folks can realize to. sur
prising degree that the first man in
the land is speaking to them and that
the first lady in the land stands be-
side him smiling upon them.
Will Carry Eggs.
When the gates open at nine o'clock
Monday Morning hordes of little chill
dren bearing baskets of eggs OF every
shade and hue will be on hand. They
are preparing now for the festival
and will be on pins and needles much
of the time until the eventful hour
rolls around. No distinction will be
made as to rich or poor, white or
black-it will be children's day and
that is all. Between the hours of nine
and one the little folks will romp until
they are weary, roll eggs, "pick" with
each other until their eggs are all
broken and then be ready to leave
for the fun stops just one hour after
noon.
Concert for Big Folks.
The big folks will be amply repaid
later in the Afternoon, when the Uni
ted States marine band will give a con-
cert in the same park between the
hours of $3.50 and $3.50. 1t will be
the first open-air concert of the sea-
son and the White Lot will be throng-
ed with music lovers. While the big
folks are to be vigorously excluded
from the fun and frolic of the children
no such prohibition extends to the tots
enjoying the concert. So all of them
will have very full day.
