IN MEMORIAM.

IN MEMORIAM.
Rt. Rev. John Stanley, d. d.,
Catholic bishop of North Da-
kota.
Today the city of Fargo and
the State of North Dakota
mourns the loss of power
among the ecclesiastical influ-
ences that have contributed to
the we'll being of society in
general. He was an acute
thinker; an astute meta-physi-
clan, ever embodying in his
teaching the tenets of a sound
philosophy; friend of educa-
ton, ever standing for that
which was best in the scholas-
tic values of the state. A geni-
al friend carrying with his
friendship keen and pene-
trating interest in all matters
for the elevation of his COM
panions. He was one of earth's
noblemen, and he bore the dig
nifty of his high attainments
aud personal acquisitions with
a humility that characterized
the example of his divine mas
ter. For two decades he minis
tered the gospel of grace, truth
and catholicity to the people of
the See of Fargo. His last
ministrations were given in
loving sympathy and in hal
lowed benediction to the weak,
helpless aborigine of the north
west. The streets of Fargo will
miss his kindly presence, and
those to whom he was accus.
toned to give the seminarian
bow will miss the benediction
of his most courteous greeting.
He stood FIR the highest edu-
cational values; for the highest
moral rectitude, and he will
ever be distinguished by the
writer of future history as a
man who was pre-eminently a
noble citizen and an upbuilder
of the state of North Dakota.
So passes the light of day! 1t
was not given to him in his
last moments to receive from
the hundreds of friends in Far
go and the thousands of we'll
wishers in the state farewell
greeting, ere he lay down the
cross and the mitre to pass TO
paradise. No! He had asked
for rest, rest for the weary body
that had toiled so faithfully and
persistently, and now in an ex.
hausted condition he yearned
for the privilege of quiet, calm
and undisturbed repose.
And when he came not forth
and they went to seek him,
they found him not, for God
had taken him. $50 He giveth
his beloved sleep"
In view of his lofty character
and his personal services to
the state at large; his friend
ship for literature, his de votion
to the cause of education, his
unflinching zeal for honor and
right, his pathetic, sympathetic
regard for the orphans who
knew him as their father and
as their friend, in view of a life
we'll rounded hy faith, by cour-
age and by conservation, shall
not we who may not be within
the pale of the mother church,
but who, admiring departed
worth, come with tender hearts
and the expression of deepest
sorrow, and in the language of
the "Gloria" of the church mill
itant, in thankfulness to God
for this noble life and character
exclaim, "Glory be to the Faith
er and to the Son and to the
Holy Ghost, as it was in the be.
ginning, is now, and ever shall
| be, world without end"
William Edwards.

MINNESOTA BANK
ROBBED AND TWO
KILLED IN FIGHT
The Robber Presented Check and
Then Held up the Cashier.

White Bear, Minn.-Follow-
ing a bold and partially sue
cessful attempt at the robbery
OF the First State Bank of this
village yesterday, Henry Paul,
the robber, and Nathan Lam
ners, one of the pursuing citi-
zens' posse, were shot and kill
ed and William Butler, another
of the posse was shot through
the abdomen and is said to be
dying. One other received a
serious wound in the thigh, and
still another was shot through
the wrist.
The robber who had been
employed on some building
work at White Bear, for the
past three days, and received
his payment check of six dol
lars and went to the bank to
have it cashed this morning,
Aug. 6. Cashier Alfred Auger
Was the only man in the bank.
The man offered Anger the
check and while the cashier
was examining it he drew a
six shooter. When Anger look
ed up he gazed into the barrel
of the weapon, and was told to
hand over all the cash in the
bank. AS the man had the drop
on him, Anger was compelled
to obey, and passed out all the
currency in the Office amount
ing to $3.50. The robber fled
down through the streets of
the village in the direction of
Bald Eagle lake, about a mile
distant.
Auger gave the alarm at
once and in a few minutes the
entire population of the village
armed with revolvers and rifles
was in hot pursuit. Seeing his
pursuers gaining on him, the
robber took refuge in a closet
in a yard about two squares
from the bank, and when the
self constituted posse drew
near, opened fire.
Larken, who was subse-
quently killed, and Richard
Doran walked into the out
house, and saw the robber
crouching on the floor in the
corner, with his revolver raised
threateningly. They both beat
hasty retreat, and joined the
others outside.
A long parley ensued, meth
DDS of getting the robber out
being discussed by the crowd,
During all this time, the robber
remained in the outhouse.
Finally it was determined to
send for the sheriff. AS soon
AS the man in hiding heard
this-it was then about 1890
o'clock-he decided to make
desperate attempt to gain his
liberty, and dashing out of the
outhouse, firing as he ran,
went into some high weeds
about thirty yards farther on.
Larken recklessly announced
his intention of capturing the
man, and advanced toward the
weeds. He had not got very
tar when shot rang out, and
Larken fell dead with a bullet
through the heart.
The citizens posse than
opened fire, and a desperate
battle ensued. After perhaps
800 shops had been fired, some
of which hit the robber, young
Allen Warner, 16 years old,
who was armed with Win
chester pump shot gun struck
the robber in the head with a
charge of shot.
The man got up on his knees
and Richard Brachvogel, who
is a crack trap shot, put bull.
let through both of the robbers
hands. The robber dropped his

that no great number attended

less. a. G. Divet for the com.
mittee to inquire into the re-
lations between the Mooreton
and Northwestern Phone sys.
tens, presented written re.
port to the effect that the North
western is willing to grant alb
solutely free switching service
to the Mooreton company for
two things: First, for not more
than eight phones in Wahpeton
belonging to the Mooreton sys-
tenn, and secondly for such
long distance work over the
Mooreton system, in whole or
in part, as it's subscribers may
desire. The only conditions
are that the Mooreton COM
pany must be responsible for
long distance fees, along it's
line and that the Northwestern
will not assist in any connec-
tion with the Breckenridge
company.
The Northwestern represents
that tins proposition upon its
part is taken purely in wish to
promote harmony and to assist

at intervals mails the overseers
printed matter such as pamph-
lets describing and illustrating
improved methods of making
roads, and of maintaining them
in good condition. In connec-
ton with the government hear
ing at Fargo in April whereby
the Red River was technically
considered as anav ig a b | e
stream as far south as Wahpe-
ton, he reported that Major
Skunk of the U. S. Army, who
was chairman of the Fargo
meeting, is now in charge of a
surveying party which begins
work of making the Minnesota
River available for grain ship
ments by water from the north
end of Big Stone Lake to Min
neapoiis and on. This is
thought to be a step which will
ultimately lead to the division
of the waters of the Otter Tail
at Wheaton, and the improve
ment of the channels of the
Red and the Bois de Sioux so
that grain may be shipped at
low rate by water from Wahpe-
ton either south or north.
Through the efforts of the
Commercial Club, Wahpeton
is placed on route of the

future, hundreds of touring
cars will stop here on passing
