.HOLDUPS MADE
A Vain ATTEMPT

Grand Forks, n. D., April 10.-Two
would-be robbers knocked at the home
of Barney Haggerty, the well known
retired farmer, about a. m. and told
him they had q night letter for him,
and when he went to turn on a light
to read the letter showed a gun into
his face and told him to hold up his
hands.
Haggerty did put up his hands, but
the robbers arm was so close to his
head that he put UP the robbers hand
at the same time, wrested the gun
from his hands and knocked the rob-
Der fat to the ground with a powerful
blow. The man, who seemed to be
quite young and active, Immediately
recovered, and before Haggerty could
get to him again, arose and made his
escape into the night.
The holdup was one of the boidest
ever undertaken in the city. Haggerty
is a man well over the half century
mark and reomed at his house at the
corner Of Plum and Boulevard avenues
in the south end of the city, having
as companion one Edward Black
farm hand, who has been staying with
Haggerty all winter
About a. m. knock at the back
door awakened Black, and the two
men who showed themselves when the
call was answered announced that they
had a night letter for Haggerty. Black
called Haggerty out OF bed and then
went out while the men had their
soiree with 1.-THE local reired farmer.

SHOULD BOTTLE

PROF. PALMER TELLS WHAT
The FARMER SHOULD DO
WITH THE SOIL.

Sherwood, NJ D.. April 1O.-Pro-
fessor Palmer. in his talk at the sher-
wood Farmers Institute, showed how
the moisture viii escape from the
ground at the rate of about an inch
per week unless bottled M. This
ne said, could be accomplished by har-
rowing the ground so as TO form a
coarse dust mulch which prevents the
moisture from getting away rapidly.
He said the ground is to tina rnofstrra
what the wick Is to the lamp; and the
WIND ana sun are to the moisture after
y Is carried to the surface what the
fame is to the oil.
Mr. Palmer spoke Of deep blowing.
saying that 1t enabled the ground to
take IN moisture more readily and
more OF It, It also furnishes a bet
Ter seed bed, IL properly packed for
the roots Of the growing crop. He
stated that the plants feed in the sol!
that Is turned with the plow. AS proof
he called attention to the fact that the
plant in the dead furrow which has
Its root in the sub soil makes a poor
growth. The plant on the back furrow
which has an extra amount OF soil
turned with the pillow makes the larg-
est growths The sub-soil contains
plant food but it is not in a condi-
ton that the plant can use. 1t must
be turned UP so that the air, sun and
weathering agencies can work on IT.
That makes the plant food available.
Deep blowing will give all the plants
the same condition as the plants on
the back furrow. The deep blowing
VIII also take in a rainfall much faster
than the shollow plowed land. This
means that much of the rain that would
otherwise run off gets into the soil. To
have the best conditions for the plant
the moisture mus: be saved and the soil
plowed deep. To save the moisture
keep the surface soil loose.

LOAD OF EGGS
SAVED HER LIFE.

Aberdeen, s. d. April 1O.--A load
OF eggs saved Mrs Yetzie Dokter,
residing near Andover, s. d., from
possibly fatal injuries. Mrs. Dok-
ter was driving to town with
twenty dozen eggs which she in
tended to market, when the horses
became frightened, started to run
and overturned the buggy. Mrs.
Dokter was thrown to the ground
and was rendered unconscious and
was revived with difficulty. She fell
on top Of the twenty dozen eggs,
which were beautifully scrambled.
The physician who attended her
states that II her fall on the hard
ground had not been broken some

might have resulted fatally. AS 1t
was, she was painfully but not
dangerously bruised.

to turn UP the wick when the holdup
artist showed a gun in his face, hold
ing it about six inches from Hagger-
tvs temple, and said: Hands up!"
Haggerty Immediately started his
hands toward the ceiling and while
they were in progress skyward they
grasped the holdup by the arm and
something happened.
Haggerty, by the way, weighs $50
pounds and is strong and powerful,
and when he grasped the artists arm
on the COUP, he wrenched the gatling
from the other mans grasp and at tho
same time swung a powerful right to
the holdup's jaw and put him down
for partial count at least.
The robber. who was slender and
apparently about 81 or % years old,
regained his feet while Haggerty was
fumbling for light, and followed by
his partner, who had stood guard
while the above mentioned perform
ance was going on, made a bee line
for the door, through the yard and
out into the darkness.
Their journey to freedom was rudely
Interrupted, however. when they struck
a wire fence Haggerty had in his
yard and both men took hard tunbles
in the mud, but regained their feet ana
ran out of reach.
Haggerty, who is troubled with
rheumatism, could not follow, and
Black was outside at the time, so no
chase was made
Suspects Quizzed.
Chief Lowe has had several suspects
in the tolls, but no evidence could be
found against them. Due to the fact
that the attempted robbery took place
in the darkness, 1t is practically inn
possible for either Haggerty or Black
to tell what the men looked like, ex-
cept that they are slender and ap-
peared to be quite young.
One of them lost his hat in the me
lee, presumably the one that Hagger-
ty took in the jaw with his ham-like
fist. The hat had the initials o. b.
perforated into the band and was
