ATTEMPT TO
ROB POLICEMAN
But IT FAILS

FARGO, Aug. g. Two would-be
hold-up men met wit great surprise
when they attempted to rob Police,
man Martinson.
The officer was making the rounds
as usual when he CHANGED to wa..,
into the Northern Petite railroad yard
where it is exceedingly dark. Just
as he was going from behind a box
car, two men sprang out and COM
manded him to Hold up your hands. "
Did Officer Martinson hold up his
hands?
He did not. He thrust one hand
into his pistol pocket and drew forth
his IA and he SNAPPED the electric
light he had in his other hand right
in the face of one of the men and
pointed the revolver at the other.
The two would,be robbers went to
their knees and they held up their
hands just as they had ordered the
policeman to do.
They endeavored to beg off and
stated that they were only fooling, but
it didn't work for the officer marched
the two to the city prison, where they
gave their names as Emil Balder and
Robert Balder.
When arrested neither of the men
had gun, so that it is reasonable to
suppose that they were trying to work
bluff, which the policeman called.
Officers Story.
The two men had a hearing yester-
day afternoon and when officer Mar
tinson told his story and it was en-
tremely sensational.
He stated taht he was walking
along First street between Northern
Pacific avenue and Front street and
had reached a dark place, when sud-
denly without a word of warning a
man sprang at him from fence and
said: What in h are you doing
here?" and at the same time apply.
ing an epithet to him.
The big officer was considerably
startled, but he at once drew his re.
volver and flashed his light as stated
above.
The two men stated that they were
engaged in running an engine for a
contractor on railroad work and were
from Hope, and said they were drunk
and half asleep when the officer came
along and that they in turn thought
he was a hold up man and thought
they would get in their work first
They were questioned closely by
Judge Miller and after that were
each sentenced to pay fine of ST.
which amount they had and paid.
Had not Officer Martinson beer
particularly cool the chances are thai
someone would have been killed, az
he was ready to fire when the two
men threw up their hands.

VERY DElD town
IS MICHELE, n. D.

Some peculiar conditions are dis
closed by thd county officers who
came before lie state board of equali-

sheets and I'd justify certain figures
which otherwise would battle the
board membef.
For instance, this morning Repre-.
sentatives from Richland county were
before the hpard with an explana.
ton. Last year lots in the incor-
poration of Nochelle were listed for
taxation on In appraisement of $39
each. This year the same lots were
valued at $3Ieach. Such discrep-
ancy certainly called for an explana.
ton and tho auditor of Richland was
there with
1t seems That some years ago an
enterprisingI land company purchased
tract of 1Pund, laid it out into town
lots, incorporated in the name of Mo.
chelle, build an elevator in the new
town and j en- sold the lots to per.
sons living n the eastern states.
After th& lots were all sold the
company hid no further interest in
Mochelle, he photographs showing
the beautiful streets, sidewalks and
shade trees and the elevator were cast
aside and Mochelle has never had
an inhabita mt. Not single house
was ever btilt and the town lots are
just farm tnds..
At the ratio land is appraised for
taxation, 2f per cent of it's actual
value, these Mochelle lots appraised
at $50, ought to have value of $12O.
At the prdbent assessment their cas-
value is p hced at $12, which is no
doubt digh enough.

breath has reports in his office show
ing the location and capacity of all
the FIGURING mills in the state, but he
has no data to justify even an esti.
mated value of the other classes OF
property.
Attorney General Miller gave it as
his opinoin that the appraisement Of
real estate in 1910 was the most sat-
isfactory the state had ever enjoyed
and he did not favor very wide de-
parture from it this year. 1t was
tacitly agreed that the appraisement
of 1910. was safe basis to go on, and
it is not likely that the assessments
will be changed materially.
In fct all the county representa-
tives, including agents for the rail-
ways, have all expressed satisfaction
with the work of the board last yCar
and have requested that it be per-
mitted to stand for 1911. Representa-
tives from the following counties were
before the board today: Mcintosh.
Richland, Pembina and Grand Forks.
The real estate assessments for these
counties remain about the same as
last year. From a report prepared
by Deputy Auditor Carl o. Jorgenson
the county assessments for 1910 as
fixed by the equalization board, and
the one returned by the county boards
for 1911 are shown. Also the increase
and decrease Of acreage returned for
taxation. The table follows:

TRAIN ROBBERS

HARLEM, Mont, Aug. "a scar
made by bullet in the right shout
der which is not yet healed has given
rise to the belief by the local officers
that the bandit woh was killed Mon
day night by Marshal ]. @. Laswell,
while he was trying to escape from
the vault at the First National bank
here with a. shot pouch in which he
had all the available cash in the bank,
was one of the men who held up and
robbed the Northern Pacific train near
Buffalo, N. D., few days ago.. The
scar Is almost healed and has every
evidence of having been made by
bullet. One of the train rob-
bers, it is believed, was shot by a
conductor on the train.
All Posses But One Return.
The posse which started after the
bandits soon after the attempt to
loot the bank, have returned from
their search, except the one organized
at Dodson, and led by Deputy Mel
bauer who, with Constable Roberts
and others from Zortman., is leading
a large body of men heavily armed in
the search.
Sheriff Bickle of Havre and the men
under him, one of the posses from
this place, and one from Chinook. have
returned and the officers say they
have no great hope of the escaping
pair of bandits will be captured.
The search has been well directed
all the way between here and the
Bear Paw mountains, and so far not

serious consideration has been de-
7eloped.

A STRENUOUS TEST OF
ENDURANCE AND CAPACITY

Scientists have proven that a wom-

necessary. A good report of their
theories was shown today when a fam.
lily arrived in the city in one-seated
buggy. There was mother and five
children in the party, with all their
household furnishings. Their two
ponies became almost stalled on the
street and noticing their sad Eight
Chi of Police Mcdonald took them
to the police station to recuperate.
Upon investigation he found that their
home was, until recently, at Moose
Jaw, Canada. Upon the death of the
father the remainder of the family
started for near Wheeler. S. D., where
the mothers parents live.
The buggy was a marvellous def
ance of carrying capacity with fur
nishings piled hgih in front and back

square and four and a half feet long
which she filled as full as she could
get it, with no noticeable deprecia.

the box for them and allow them to
stay at the station until they are
able to go on.
To add to their difficulty the mother
is quite old and is lame.

contained enough cartridges to have
stood off regiment. There was a
3o!3N Winchester strapped p the
holster of the saddle. The dead man
also carried two heavy revolvers and
an automatic which was in sling
under his arm.
Horses Stolen by the 6andits.
The horses ridden by the trio were
stolen about ten days ago from the
Pepin ranch near Harlem. They all
wore the brand "P Cross" and were
taken from this ranch in the Bear
Paw mountains. The two ridden by
men who escaped are bay and buck

night a statement that the bank lost
not a cent and that Marshal LasWell
be given a suitable reward for his
bravery manifested in entering the
bank and shooting down the robber
as he came from the vault with the
money.
