FEARS FOR POSTAL SAVINGS.
Grafton, N. D. Postmaster Here for
Lesson, Somewhat Pessimistic.

Fred D. Vibert and H. B. Grover,
postmasters of Cloquet and Grafton,
N. D. respectively, were in Bemidji
yesterday for the purpose of making
an investigation of the postoffice
savings bank, as the government has
established banks in CloQuet and
Grafton. Mr. Grover said: II have
no doubt but what the system would
prove success in city where there
are numerous foreigners, but as
Grafton is a town in which there are
none of these men and it's only sup
port being the vast farming district
which surrounds it. I am of the
opinion that the Grafton bank will
not secure any large extent of bust
ness, although l shall expect to show
satisfactory record.

''In view of the fair and splendid
treatment accorded me by the pub
lie in general deem it my duty to
submit herewith the following ex-
PLANTATION, as the reason of my action.
81 am Informed by the Court Com
missioner that several warrants were
recently issued by him at the insti-
cation of Sam Fullerton, and that by
special request of Mr.. Fullerton
was to be kept in ignorance thereof
and that said Court Commissioner
was not to inform me about said war;
rants until the parties were arrested.

Deeply Resents Action.


II deeply resent such action. If
l am not competent to be consulted
with in the matter of issuing war;
rants I am not competent to try the
cases after the parties are arrested.
And since it seems to me, from the
action of Mr.. Fullerton, as stated to
me by said Court Commissioner, that
I am suspected of being in league
with the criminals, and since 1 will
not be county attorney in name only,
l deem it but fair to the county and
to myself that resign.

corner were the two remaining de-
tectives who were to have guarded
the side of the building along which
the robbers ran.
"The robbers deliberately opened
this blind door, flashed their Ian
terms about, saw the rumpled beds
and eatablasa htit1overlooked the de-
tectives less than 10 feet away.
Realized They Were Trapped.
"Realizing that they had been
trapped the robbers ran back along
the store and when they reached
the front end they were greeted with
shots by Fielding and Helmer.
Helmer's gun stuck on him, but he
finally got it to working. Fielding
and Helmer stood their ground and
two shots were fired at them by the
robbers, who were making for cover.
The man who got away left no blood
marks behind him, and there was
no gurgling of blood heard.

Wires Were Not Cut.
"There is one other correction in
the first published story. The tele-
phone wires were not cut. I am
lineman and I tested the wires i'm
mediately after the firing and they
were working all right"
The crowd which searched the
Puposky woods yesterday returned
to Bemidji last night convinced that
Davis has made his way out of this
district. A systematic search ex-
tending over an area of thirty
square miles explodes the theory that
the robber is hiding in shack in
the woods.
"Doc" Adamson who admits having
driven the robbers to Puposky, but
who has not been arrested as an &C.
complete, says he took the men to
within short distance of Puposky,
and when they got out, told him it
was none of his business where they
were going and to "beat it, which
order Adamson said he obeyed when
they thrust an automatic savage re-
volver in his face. This confirms the
detectives, assertion that Davis did
carry a Savage, said to be the per-
sonal property of DR.. Dumas.
Farmer Saw Admanson.
Admanson's story is corroborated
by Gil Peterson, farmer who lives
on the road to Puposky. He says
he saw Admanson drive by with two
men and return alone.
Four postofice inspectors have ar
rived in Bemidji and have taken up
the search for Davis with the Cana
dian authorities and the Canadian
mounted police have joined in the
search along the border.
Detectives here say that a third
robber went to Puposky on the after
noon train the day of the robbery.
Photographs of Bean have been
taken at the Jail here. One of the
pictures is of Bean as he appears
fully clad, while the other is of his
bored limbs showing them to have
been peppered with shot.

Paulo went ahead and Conrad made
his way at normal pace.
Conrad had been travelling towards
his camp and examining the country

from the stars for about half an hour
when a voice struck his ear. He lis

called up his officers and told them
what was expected. "Our artillery"

That night the revolutionists erept
slowly and cautiously towards the
government trenches. 1t was ter
rible task for the officers, who In the
complete darkness, and impeded by
the dense and treacherous under
growth, had TO keep their men to-
gether, if they hoped TO make a sue
cessful attack. All through the night,
on their hands and knees. the attacking
party advanced over the damp jungle
mould. Half a mile from. the enemy's
position a sentry was discovered. An
advance scout brought in the D'ws. A
halt was called and a whispered con-
sutation between the officers took
place. The situation was, If the revo-
lutonists advanced any further they
would alarm the pickets, il they did
pot advance they would be unable to
surprise the enemy at daybreak. There
was a deadlock.

ing thar If the two men were enemies
he would in all probability be killed.
On the men came silently They
rubbed against the bush that hid him.
He had TO act, and to act silently so
as not TO alarm the enemy. Every
atom Of strength in his being he COM
manded, and then, as the man in the
lightest blanket brushed past the bush,
like tiger Conrad sprang upon him,
gripping his throat in grasp of iron.
For moment the man struggled and
then fell unconscious on the ground.
Conrad rose and looked on the other
man whose hands were tied behind
him.
ITS +, Paulo," he said.
Conrad united his hands and put the
rope around the hands of the man on
the ground, who was showing signs
of life.
"How did he capture youf" asked
Conrad.
almost the same as you captured
him. He waited behind a bush and
covered me with a gun. We are now
inside the enemy's pickets; we passed
through them unawares."

ground was the only one, | think"

Conrad. knowing the ravine was not
guarded, made his way as fast as pos
sible to his own lines. A quick con-
ference with General Luis Mena. and
in ten minutes the column was making
its way towards the ravine behind
him.
In Indian file the revolutionists
trailed through the bush, passed down
the ravine, and were soon inside the
pickets of the government troops.
Long before sunrise the revolutionists
were stretched out in a thin line in
front of the enemy's trenches. Colonel
Conrads single machine gun held q
good position, and every man had his
weapon ready for instant use. Around
Conrad's gun were Gordon's sharp
shooters, mostly boys from New Or
leans, who, with their autoloadinE
rifles and Luger. pistols, were to keep
on any charge that might be made on
the solitary piece of artillery.
The government troops thinking
themselves secure behind their line OF
pickets, their strong intrenchments,
and in their vastly superior numbers
had taken few precautions immedi-
ately around their camps against at
tack Slowly the hours dragged on
whilst the eager revolutionists waited
with their fingers on the triggers OF
their Remington artoloadeTa

At last the East grew green, and as
rhe light crept over the earth IT re-
vealed the government camps slowly
waking from its slumber Conrad got
his range and put band of cartridges
in his machine gun. Every man was
ready General Mena gave the signal
and with thousands OF flashes from
the Remingtons, and the frightful roar
OF Conrad's machine gun, the battle
was opened. An uproar rose in the
enemy's camp, and men darted here
and there, in frantic fear Of death like
mad ants.
Although their numbers fell fast
they were not to be easily beaten. and
under the rallying voices of their Off
GERS they took cover and answered
their foes with cool and soldierly
shooting. The execution done by Con-
RAIDS artillery was SO terrible. and so
demoralizing. that the government
troops brought their guns to bear on
him 20 silence his fire.
Shifting his piece to a new position,
Conrad continued his splendid work.
until he was again located by the
enemy Charge and counter charge
were made. The government troops
would rush the insurgents, whs in
turn would charge back on their enc
mics, stabbing, shooting. hacking, like
demons. IN the coarse underground.
Men with battle frenzy cried, viva
Estrsdal Viva Chamorro~ as they
fell with mortal wounds.
All day the fight went on in bloody
ferocity, neither side making any
gains, but piling up dead by the dez-
ems. Conrad kept the enemy's guns
engaged. and as fast as his own men
we're shot down he broke in new ones
to serve his gun. At last darkness
obliged the troops to cease shooting.
The dead we're spread in hundreds on
the battlefield. The generals on each
side sent messengers with flags OF
truce to demand the others surrender,
