On the tariff bill are very much in
terested in the report that Presi-

Sept. II, eulogizing Representative

measure in question

deliver speech largely on the sub
ject of the tariff and he will visit
before his departure the home of the
Winona statesman. Just how far the
president will go in eulogizing Mr..
Tawneys position on the tariff is not
known.
1t should be recalled that all of Mr..
Tawney's colleagues on the house
delegation were opposed to his posi-
ton on the tariff In ad iition Sen
ators Nelson and Clapp voted against
the report when it was called up for
passage in the senate.

Traffic en- Northwestern Railroads
Picking Up.

That traffic on the Northwestern
railroads is steadily picking up is
demonstrated by the fact that the
amount of business handled at the
Minnesota Transfer at St. Paul is so
per cent greater than it was the first
of June. An average of 5000 cars is
handled at the transfer now as COM
pared to 1000 two months ego. The
advance has been in all kinds of
traffic.
There has hardly been any gain in
the eastbcund movement on the trans
continental lines. Comparatively lit
tie lumber is being shipped. With the
prospect that the duty from Canada
will be removed there is no active de-
mand for forest products. The move
ment westbound is steadily increas-
ing, general merchandise and building
material of all kinds being shipped
in large quantities.

FIGHT FOLLOWS BANK ROBBERY
Three Other Members Of Posse
Wounded, One Fatally.

Two men are dead and three wound
ed one probably fatally, as the result of
a pitched battle between lone bank

bank of White Bear village, securing
1857, and posse of citizens of the
village. The dead are:
EDWARD LARkIN, chef at a Bald
Eagle cottage, who took part in the
pursuit of the robber.
ROBERT POLL, the bank robber.
William, Butler, a pioneer resident
of White Bear, was shot through the
abdomen and may die and Richard
Doran and John Christie were pain
fully wounded.
Not since the raid of the Mortified
bank by the James and Younger gang,
more than thirty years ago, has a
Minnesota city had SO exciting time
with bank bandits as did White Bear
village.
Before the bandit was finally rid
died with shot and bullets Pohl had
made a determined stand of two
hours and twenty-five minutes within
three blocks Of the bank and fully 800
shots had been exchanged between
him and posse Of villagers.
When the dead robber was searched
he had S567 in a coat pocket and thir-
ty cartridges for his revolver, which
was emptied He fired about twenty
five shots at the posse

The man offered Anger the check
and while the cashier was examining
1t he drew an automatic pistol. When
Anger looked up he gazed into the bar

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, amounting
to 1851 The robber fed down through
the streets Of the village in the direc
ton of Bald Eagle lake
Anger gave the alarm at once and
in 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
yard about two squares from the bank
and when the self-constituted posse
drew near opened fire.
Larkin, who was leading the pur-
sIers, paid no attention to the shots
or to the warnings of the robber and
went boldly into the closet. He
dropped dead on the threshold with
bullet through his heart.
This tragedy caused a halt among
the pursuers, who retired to whatever
sheltered points offered themselves
and opened fire on the closet with
rifles and revolvers.
The fire was briskly returned by
the robber and in a few minutes But
Ter fell, shot through the abdomen.
Other shots fired by the robber wound
ed two other men.
Finally the robber took refuge in a
pile of brush and was shot to death
by the posse. He was shot twice
through the chest, both wrists were
shattered, bullet went into his head
and his entire body was riddled with
small shot from shotguns.
