DARING THIEF GRABS
$4,000 AND ESCAPES.
Payroll Of Milwaukee Department
Store Taken-Robber Gets Away
with the Cash.

Milwaukee, Feb. 16-Grabbing q
hand satchel containing $4,000 belong
ing to big department store, a daring
thief yesterday made his way out of
the First National bank, East Water
and Wisconsin streets, with the loot,
and escaped detection. The robbery
was committed while the attention of
a messenger boy for the department
store was detracted for a single min
ute. Discovering the loss caused a
general alarm to be sounded in the
bank, and a hasty search was insti-
tuted. A hurried examination was
made OF the bank corridors, while 9TH
ers rushed to the streets to secure
sight and trail Of the thief, if possible,
but he had made his escape and van
ished
Daniel Sullivan, aged 20, messen-
ger boy, was sent to the First Ma
tional bank about noon with two
checks, one for $500, the weeks pay
roll, and the other for $500. He went
to window No. and had the check
for $4,000 cashed by the teller. The
bundle of bills and pitts of silver
were slipped into the small hand
satchel Then Sullivan turned to win
dow No. to have the check for $500
cashed. He allowed the grip with the
cash to escape his attention for a min
ute. During this time, stranger
picked up the grip and left the bank
quickly and unnoticed
THE payroll is stolen,' cried Sulli-
van, as he turned from window No. 3
to No. to place the added $500 in the
grip. He sounded an alarm, inform
ing the teller of the robbery. The
bank officials were notified Immediate
ly and a search of the corridors of the
bank started. Patrons in the bank
were Informed of the robbery by the
cry of Sullivan, and Immediately start
ed to aid in the search. Several ran
to the street calling robbery, and look
ing for the sight of man with a small
grip, about 16 inches long The search
OF the bank failed to reveal the thief,
and the hunt on the street was con-
tinued. There is no clew to the

REPLY TO VIKING
CORRESPONDENT,

In week before last lss,le CT the
Warren Sheaf, a Viking ccrrespon-
dent made some remarks to my pro-
position of organizing a breeding as
sociation.
If the editor permits it, I will an
swer some of his objections. The.
correspondent admits that the plan =
a good one, if we had the proper feed
in the winter, and because we do not
have that, it will not be profitable to
improve our stock, and states that it
costs a lot of money TO build s:los aud
equip with machinery. This may be
true, but fortunately we do not have
to build silos in order to keep silage,
as it now demonstrated that it can
be kept successfully in stack. Not
that ! have personal experience in
keeping it that way, but our friend
w. W. Prichard has succeeded in do
ing SO for two years.
Mr.. P. Engelstad, whose article on
"Silage without Silo" appeared in the
Thief River Press, February 9Th,
states that the quality of that in
stack and that in silo is about the
same
About the method of preserving he
says
"This press outfit consists Of four
jacks or presses, four eighteen feet
chains, one lever, and four anchor
rods, the whole outfit costing about
$4,000 Besides that, you need some
poles and two pieces of heavy timber,
had that is all.
But if you DO want to go to the OK
rense of buying this outfit, you can
obtain pressure iii some other way.
For instance by using four jack
screws costing about $3.50 apiece:
lack screws can be placed on top of
timber, a small block on top of the
screw, and chain across the block,
then you can press your coru all
you want to-" A few loads of stone
will answer the same purpose.
Ensilage kept in that way does not
need to be cut in order to get more
into a given space, because there is
rlenty room for a stack.
We do not need to buy an ensilage
cutter;the cheaper cutter is the COWS
jaw.
Now | hope all dairymen can see
their way clearly to raise all the corn
for silage they need for their COWS
next winter, since the expenses for
silo and machinery are removed.
Cutting can be done with grain
binder provided it has an open ele-
vator.
| believe we are lots nearer the
desired condition that our correspon-
dent describes, regarding the feed for
our COWS, than he thinks.
l think we'd letter get our associa-
ton organized, and select sires from
a good dairy breed.
One hundred and twenty-five pounds
OF butter is all We get on an average,
in one year amounting to about $4,000
at the present price of butter, which
is very little more than the cost OF
keeping, while with better COWS and
care it ought to be easy to get 300
ear.
Yours for development Of dairying.
