Why NOT OWN LAND2
ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO
MAKE MONEY Is TO INVEST
IN WESTERN CANADA.

deep down In the nature of every
properly constituted man is the desire
to own some land" A writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex-
presses a well-known truth. The ques-
tion is where is the best land to be
had at the lowest prices, and this the
same writer points out in the same ar
ticle. The fact is not disguised that
the writer has a personal interest in
the statement Of his case, and there is
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting great
er possibilities than any other part OF
the American Continent, to the man
who is inclined to till the soil for a
livelihood and possible competence.
What interests one are the arguments
advanced by this writer, and when
fairly analyzed the conclusion is
reached that no matter what personal
interest the writer may have had, his
reasons appear to have the quality of
great soundness. The climatic condi-
tions Of Western Canada are fully as
good as those of Minnesota, the Dako-
tas or Iowa, the productiveness of the
soil is as great, the social conditions
are on parity, the laws are as we'll
established and as carefully observed.
In addition to these the price of land
is much less, easier to secure. So, with
these advantages, why shouldn't this
the offer of Western Canada-be
embraced. The hundreds of thousands
of settlers now there, whose homes
were originally in the United States,
appear to be-are satisfied. Once in
awhile complaints are heard, but the
Canadians have never spoken Of the
country as an Eldorado no matter
what they may have thought. The
writer happened to have at hand few
letters, written by former residents of
the United States, from which one or
two extracts are submitted. These go
to prove that the writer in the Regis
ter has a good basis of fact in support
of his statements regarding the excel
lency of the grain growing area oi

The doctor, John Norton, held the

ment the doctor smiled. He had re-
membered Joe Rileys $500.
AS the months had piled themselves
up into years after Joe's operation,
this promised bonanza had been the
pet dream-castle built by the doctor
and his mother in their twilight talks;
the family joke of the saner breakfast
hour And yet only last week when
the doctor had broached the subject
to Joe anew there had seemed a
definite purpose in the latters eye as
he begged Norton to wait until the
first of the coming month. The first
of September-why,t that was to-day!
or course nothing would come of it,
but his despair clutched at even a
straw of hope, and f1icking Molly B..

A desperate highwayma1, whose
identity is uncertain, was shot and
instantly killed, and Deputy Sheriff
Andrew Johnson of this city was shot
and dangerously, if not fatally,
wounded in a bloody battle which
was waged at the Great Northern
overhead bridge, one mile west of
Bemidji at 4 o'clock this morning
between two yeggmen who had
blown safe at Puposky, and Sheriff
"A. B. Hazen, Deputy Sheriff Andrew
johnson and Patrolman Allen Benner,
who were attempting to capture the
fleeing robbers.

blown the safe at the store of O. J.
Laqua at Puposky, taking a consid-
cradle sum of money and had made
their escape, going southwark toward
Bemidji, using a railroad speeder.
Sheriff Hazen and Deputy Sheriff
Johnson were notified and together
with Night Patrolman Benner they
went to the NJ, R. L. & M. over

town, to intercept the bandits if
they came as far as Bemidji on the
speeder.

The body of the dead robber was
brought to Corner Ibertson's
morgue, where the face was cleaned
and an attempt made to identify
the man. Several people claiming
they had seen him before and a
number agreeing that his name was
Jim" Smith; that he had visited
Bemidji frequently during the last
three years but whose exact occupa-
ton had never been known.
An examination of the body of the
dead robber revealed bullet wound
in the heshy part of the stomach,
which was undoubtedly inflicted by
a shot from Sheriff Hazen's revolver.

on the north side of the bridge and
Mr.. Benner, armed with a rifle, took
his station at the south end of the
bridge. They had been at their
stations less than five minutes when
the speeder was heard coming down
the track from the north. -
The night was very dark and
foggy and is was impossible to see
a great distance. However, the
speeder was brought to within
about 200 feet of the north end of
the bridge when two men dismounted
and walked in the direction of the
bridge directly towards the sheriff
and his deputy.
When the men had reached a
point about twenty feet from the
bridge Deputy Johnson arose and
leveling his gun ordered the men to
throw up their hands. The deputy's
command was answered by two
shots, one of which barely missed
Sheriff Hazen's head, the other shot
striking johnson in the left
shoulder, passing through the left
lung and coming out of the body
below the shoulder blade. Sheriff
Hazen fired his revolver directly at
the robber. The two robbers i'm
mediately turned and started to
run up the track in the direction
from which they had come.
Deputy Johnson fell to the ground
with the remark, I'm hit, AL" and
the sheriff leaned over him. Allen

other end of the bridge, a distance
of nearly 100 yards and he immedi-
ately yelled to Hazen and his deputy

fleeing desperadoes and at the
fourth shot one of them jumped high
in the air and pitched headlong of

ground, after striking the earth.
The two desperadoes returned
Benner's fire with interest, but the
plucky patrolman was not hit.

robber as long as he could see a
shadow, but the man jumped from

farm was used and word sent to the
city of the battle and its disastrous
ending.
A small posse of men hurried to
the bridge, and while some started
on the trail Of the fleeing robber,
others rushed Deputy Johnson to St.
Anthony's hospital, where it was
ascertained that he was dangerously
wounded and small hope was given
for his recovery.
Other posses we're organized and
! soon the entire country west of Be-
midi for several miles was being
thoroughly searched by armed men
who were determined to kill the
desperate robber, should he be found
and refuse to surrender.
The fire bell was rung and when a
crowd had gathered at the city hall
volunteers offered to assist in pro-
longing the search for the companion
of the dead robber who was still at
large. The crowd was taken to the
armory and equipped with the late

ammunition each could carry, and
started westward man.hunting."
One posse, with S. C.. Bailey at
the head, trailed the footprints of
the escaped robber from the railroad
track to point within two miles of
Wilton, when all trace of the trail
was lost, it appearing that the man
had either went south or attempted
to return to Bemidji over the G.. N.
tracks.
Another posse, which started
from Bemidji walked the entire dis
lance to Wilton and late this after
noon one of the posse telephoned
that they struck a trail leading fro m
point where the robber was sup
posed to have turned off into Wilton
and that they believed he had gone
south from there; and that they
would pursue this trail and ascertain
for a certainty who made the foot
prints.
The description of the robber who
is at large is given as a man being
quite tall and wearing a sandy
mustache. What kind of clothes
he is wearing is not known.
Police officers in all cities and
towns of northern Minnesota have
been telegraphed or telephoned to be
on the watch for a man answering
the description given of the escaped
robber, and it is likely that he will
be captured before tomorrow morn
ing.
