Thirty years ago a man in Delaware
bought an old safe at public auction,
and put it in his stable. Lately, after
apparently turning the matter over in
his mind for the said so years he had
been in possession, he decided to
break the safe open and see what was
inside. He found gold coin enough
to enable him to spend the rest of
his life in luxury. This shows how
well it is to thiRk things over long and
well before committing oneself to rash
action.

Mrs. Ellerine Jensen, had their rooms.
To avoid the man Miss Petersen had
jumped from the second story window
and was being followed by Mrs. Jensen
when Tom come to her aid and assisted
her in making more rapid exit. Tom
then made out of the window and strolled
off in the darkness-to be followed by
a shot from the family shotgun in the
hands of one of the men.
The women were so frightened that
they remained in hiding on the prairie
for several hours and were badly chilled
on account Of being very lightly
clothed. Miss Peterson had her ankle
sprained in jumping from the window,
but her aunt, although a woman of
about two hundred pounds, was not
hurt by the fall.
Shortly after line was gotten on
Oakes and Deputy Sheriff Huffman left
by auta to see il he couldn't get the
fellow that had caused such a rpmpus.
Sheriff Reames also started early in
the morning from Glendale and about
noon on Saturday Tom was gathered in
at Glover and brought to Cakes. Here
he was confined in the city Jail until
Monday. Since being taken into Gus
tody he behaved himself nationally, but
he was considered too dangerous per-
son to run at large, and it was thought
best to take him to the hospital.
In the melee Mr.. Petersen had bone
in one OF his hands broken. In his ex-
element he did not know how it hap
pened, but thought that Tom must have
struck him with the stake in the first
scuffie.

Tom Gronbeck is now in the hospital

session of the board in this city Mon
day forenoon. He was taken there by
Sheriff Reames, accompanied by F. j..
Graham, a. member of the board and
two of his brothers, Hans and John
Gronbeck.
The cause that led to this state of
affairs was pulled off at the P. G..
Petersen home, north of the city, last
Friday night. Shortly after midnight
Tom must have had a bold robbery
stunt in his mind. The story goes that
he approached the home in his stocking
feet with a piece of black cloth over
his face for a mask, but instead of
entering in true burglar fashion he
armed himself with heavy iron wood
stake about three feet long and pro-
ceeded to smash in window and pound
at the door. He made entrance by
way of the window and when Mr..
Petersen came to investigate the cause
of the racket Tom attacked him and
there was battle royal. Two of Mr..
Petersen's sons came on the scene and
in the darkness it is stated that one
son throttled the other on the floor,
believing it to be the crazy fellow.
After mixing things considerably or

The presentation of ''Under Two
Flags" by the Glendale amateur artists
was we'll received by tic citizens OF
Oakes at the opera house on Friday
evening. The drama is q good one and
in presenting it the players did them
selves proud. Especially creditable
was the work of F. L. King in the role
of Bertie Cecil, of Erst Fisk the Irish
comedian, of Miss Mary King as Cigar
cite and Miss Helen Healy as Venetia.
The players all performed their parts
nicely and it was due to their leading
parts in the play that the work of the
above was particularly noticeable.
The players appeared in appropriate
custornes, which added much to the
beauty of the play. The talent was
worthy of better audience, but this
was due to the season of the year Wher
1t is hard to get out a house for any
kind OF an entertainment.

Flies Never Bothered Him.

One of the hardest places for base
ball manager to fill on his team is that
of short stop. He is supposed to stop
everything that comes his way.
Andrew Oyler, the greatest short
stop that ever played this position in
Minneapolis, whose salary check is the
largest paid by the management, and
unquestionably the best natured short
stop now playing ball, will never for
get the game between Minneapolis and
Indianapolis, when after pitchers s
battle of nineteen long innings, Indian
apolis at bat in the last half of the
nineteenth inning, with two out, Carr
on third hase, score l to l, when a
little inield fly got by Oyler, scoring
Carr and losing the game. Just then
twenty thousand fans were longing for
a perfect short stop. Even then Oyler's
good nature did not fail him, and in
talking to us later stated he owed it tc
his mother that flies did not disturb
him, as she always put her screens or
early in the season, and when taking
his afternoon nap. when baby, flies
never bothered him.
You have in Oakes at the Star Lum
