HIT HOLDUP WITH
Her SUITCASE
MRS. JoRGEN TVERsoN SHOWS
THAT SHE IS WELL ABLE TO
HANDLE TOUGH.

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 1O-When
Mrs. Jorgen Iversou OF SIS Cherry
street, this city, undertook to walk
from one depot to another at Aberdeen,
S. D., several days ago while en- route
to another poine beyond Aberdeen, she
met UP with a little affair that gave
her an opportunity Of illustrating the
fact that when it comes to dealing with
holdup artists, she is right on the job.
1t happened this way:
Mrs. IVerson, in making the change,
was obliged to walk about seven or
eight blocks at o'clock in the morn
ing.
A portion of this distance was at
the side Of fair grounds enclosure
and the walk was at the top of steep
enbankment
Just as she reached a dark point a
nan came to her side suddenly, order
ing her to hold up her hands and turn
over the money Mrs. Iverson, how
ever, had a different idea and swing
ing her suit case about she took the
holdup artist off his guard and gave
him such a blow that he staggered
and fell down the embankment cling
ing to the suit case meanwhile.
Gaining his feet he started running
after Mrs. Iverson who had by this
time also decided that running was
the best exercise Her cries for help
aroused the attention of a travelling
man about a block ahead OF her and
he returned to the scene of action inn
mediately, whereat the tough de.
parted.
The affair unnerved Mrs Iversor
somewhat but she tells OF the manner
in which she dealt with the tough
with just a tinge of pride-and why
not? MIR. Iverson. her husband, Is
the janitor at the postoffice.

Kelly proposes to put UP a stiff nght
against extradition and as the officers
OF this county are quite certain the
man under arrest Is the one they want
they are leaving no stone unturned
to bring him back.
For about year Kelly had been a
resident of Doyon, Ramsey county,
making frequent visits to Lakota and
Michigan City, having formerly resid-
ed in both of there places while en- :
gagged in the restaurant business. on
these several trips he invariably made
purchases of larger or lesser amount.

and these checks were always accept
ed by the banks, Keily's account be-
ing in good standing.
About ten days ago when Kelly de-
cided to leave the soil Of North pa
kota, he withdrew his deposit in the
Doyon bank and then came on to La
kota. In Lakots he made some pure
chases, while in Michigan he also
made some extensive purchases, tend
ering checks. The fact that these
checks had always been honored in the
past resulted in no query being rails
ed on this occa sion until three or four
days after when they were returned,

In Michigan teweler was worked
for $3.50 diamond while other mer-
chants in both cities also fell for the
game.
When arrested at Brandon about
$1,000 In American bills were found
on Kelly's person. He denies being
the man wanted however, but from
all information received here there APP
pears very little question but what the
Canadian suspect and c. e. Kelly of
Doyon are one and the same. If he
is extradited further charges will very
likely be laid against him

other drainage suit, in which farmers
against whom assessments for benefits
derived by reason of the construction
of county drains were made. appear as
plaintiffs, was heard in district court
The action involves a drain running
from Irvine to Dry lake. The plain

without power In causing the COM

ner, and that the names Of those
against whom assessments would be
levied were not published in accord
ance with law.
