BANK ALARM WORKED FINE

Willow City, N. D., Sept. 26.-The Of
f1cials who closed up the Merchants
National bank one evening this week
caused a lot of excitement later in the
night and armed men might have been
seen stalking the bank building as
though it was a flock of elk or herd
of prairie chickens. This is how 1t
happened In closing up for the day
the official forgot to close the vault
doors. The electric alarm with which
the whole building is charged after a
certain hour had not forgotten its hour
for going on guard, and finding the big
door of the strong box open at that
time of the day it sounded a subdued
alarm within the building to call the
attention of anyone within hearing that
something was wrong. Receiving no
response to its appeal for help from
within, it proceeded, at 1880, to appeal
for help from the outside, and its braz-
en- voice soon aroused Chas. Ohnstad
and Druggist Hansen who armed them
selves to the teeth and started out to
capture the thieves. In the meantime
the telephone had reached the ear of
President Sunberg and he soon arrived
on the scene and after making sure
that no one was in the building went
in and closed the vault doors. and the
guardian angel stopped its clamor and
all was still again.

FORCED BURGLARS
TO DROP LOOT

Bowman, N. d. Sept. 26.-Burglars
entered the J. A. Haukom store and
picked out good supply of gents
furnishings, such as shoes, overcoats,
gloves, ETC.. but were unsuccessful in
making their escape with the stolen
goods as they awakened Ernest Kolo-
wrat, a freighter who was sleeping
on a load of freight near the Metz
livery barn, and being of the opinion
that the men had committed depre-
dalton of some kind, he went in pur-
suit of the thieves who dropped their
booty and struck off across the prai-
RE. The value of the stolen goods
amounted to nearly 800, all of which
Mr.. Haukom recovered. Evidently
the thieves were experienced men as
they left no trace of how they gained
entrance to the store, and they were
very conservative in making their Sc
lection of goods for they picked out
the very best.

WARD COUNTY FARMERS FAIR
WILL OPEN ITS GATES TO-
MORROW.

Minot, N. D., Sept. 26.--In spite of
some of the unfavorable circumstances
resulting from a dry season, there is
remarkable interest being shown in
the coming Ward County Farmers
Fair which opens it's gates tomorrow
afternoon. For some time the county
fair has been almost the sole topic of
conversation among the farmers, and
though they feel that some of the pro-
ducts which they have for exhibition
are not by any means the best can be
raised in the country, still they will
exhibit the best they have and indica-
tons are that visitors to the fair will
be very agreeably surprised over what
the farmers have for exhibition. There
will be a large attendance, too, and
next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day will betholidays in every sense of
the word. And not only are the farm
ers greatly interested, but the citizens
of Minot are taking considerable pains
to make the fair a success and visitors
to the city will be royalty entertained.
The railroads will assist the exhibit
tors of live stock, etc, by charging
transportation one way only. This ar
rangement is very pleasing to farmers
throughout the county and will assist
materially in providing a large number
of exhibits. All branch trains on the
Great Northern leaving here in the af-
ternoon will be held until six or seven
o'clock, thus enabling visitors to visit
the fair and return the same day.
Secretary Swanson wishes all exhib-
itors to remember that all entries must
be in by two o'clock on Tuesday after
noon. This is important.
A good county fair makes for the
upbuilding and increase OF land values
in the county. The fair association
was organized for the benefit of the
| farmers and the county generally.
Last year the business men of Minot
started the fair by donating $1,000
which amount was practically all paid
to exhibitors last year.
| The association, through the gener-
osity of the racing association and the
tax levied, is now on a permanent
basis, and your. cooperation is request
| ed so that the Ward county fair will
be second to none In the entire state
Be sure to attend and see for yourself

NEARLY LOST
HIS EYE sight
BoWBELLS MAN PLACED MATCH
AT END OF PIPE FILLED
WITH GASES

Bowbells, N. D., Sept 26.--Ray Oot-
houdt met with an accident that might
easily have resulted In totally de-
stroying his eyesight, but happily the
worst he got was q badly burned face.
1t appears that he had been engaged
in helping put down a well on his
fathers property over on the corner
of Madison and Railway streets and
coming in contact with stone he put
down a blast of dynamite to remove
the obstruction. Several hours after
the dynamite had exploded Ray light
ed match which he put at the mouth
of the hole for the purpose of enabling
him, If possible, to see the bottom and
determine what effect the blast had
on the obstruction, but no sooner had
he put his face to the top of the hole
than the lighted match caused an ex-
plosion of the gases that had not yet
escaped from the hole, and of course
he received in his face the full force
of the explosion, shocl1ingly burning
his cheeks, forehead and in fact all
over his face, as well as burning to
the scalp the hair on the forepart of
his head. He was for a moment
stunned, but he soon gained control
of himself and hurried to the Kruger
drug store, where Frank McCagherty
fixed him UP as best he could, afford
ing Ray immediate relief, and since
then he has made good recovery so
that now his face is about as bright
and rosy as before the accident. He
promises however, to refrain from
trying such an experiment again.

v. Il. STEVENS IS
STATE DELEGATE
GENIAL POsTMAS-
TER ELECTED AS DELEGATE
TO ATTEND NATIONAL
CONVENTION.

Wimbledon, N. D., Sept. 26.-W. H.
Stevens, Wimbledons popular post
master, has been elected by the post
masters of the state to represent them
at the national convention which will
be held in Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct.
12-14
Mr.. Stevens expenses will be paid
by the state association to look after
their interests at the convention. Mr..
Stevens is as we'll, or better fitted to
represent the postmasters of the state
at the convention as any postmaster in
the state and we can assure them that
Mr.. Stevens will be Johnny on the
spot" all of the time at the meeting.
Also by their election of Wimbledon
postmaster they have placed quite an
honor on our little city-as only one
delegate from each state is allowed to
attend and out of hundreds Of post
offices throughout the state they select
ed our genial postmaster as the one
to represent their interests.
The trip will certainly be inter-
esting to Mr.. Stevens as he has never
passed through the eastern states and
he will have chance to visit many
points of interest while away.

Mandan, N. D., Sept. 26.-Following

Mrs. August Ehret, Nicholas, the 49,

the folks with slanderous remarks and

VALUABLE MAP

EXPEDITION

Bismarck N. D., Sept. 26.-The state
historical society of North Dakota has
received a valuable document pertain
ing to the history of this locality.
Since Curator H. c. Fish was out
looking up the battle of the Kildeers
there has been a great deal of interest
aroused concerning the early expedi-
ton Of Sully. A. S. Maloney of Will
liston, member of the law firm of Bur-
dick & Maloney, became interested
in the SulIy movement in this state
and obtained as loan an old map of
the Sully expedition.
This map belongs to d. J. Dodge of
Waseca, MINI. When Mr.. Dodge
heard that Mr.. Maloney was coming
to North Dakota he showed him the
map and told him to take it along
and see how the country had changed
Sergeant j. S. Stoddard of co. c.,

old times it was given to Mr.. Dodge
