Word comes from Farris to the
effect that the unknown robber who
attempted to hold up Mr.. Frost,
owner of the store at Rosby, last
spring, has been located at St. Cloud.
1t appears that the man who made
such spectacular escape from
flying bullets was arrested yesterday
at. St. Cloud, after he had broken
his, arm in making his getaway
from the police. 1t is said that the
man closely resembled the descrip-
ton given of the robber and it will
be definitely known in a few days
whether he is the man wanted. Mr..
Frost was in his store waiting on a
customer when a stranger appeared
in the scene and, with a drawn
revolver, commended him to throw
up his hands and dig up the cash."
Instead of complying with the re-
quest of the hold-up artist, Mr..
Frost grabbed gun and fired point
blank at the vould-be robber. The
man made his escape, but it was
believed at the time that Mr.. Frost
had inflicted wound as there were
blood stains on the floor. No trace
of the robber could ever be found,
and just how he made his escape has
always been a matter of conjecture.
The pranks played by the kids" of
the city, who were undoubtedly aided
by. able bodied persons who had
attained their majority some years
ago, during the Halloween season
were many, and, while most of the
acts were in the nature of jokes,
still some things we're done which
approached vandalism. Fences in
the north part of the city were torn
down and considerable property was
damaged, more or less. Closets
