tigation and there remains but few
days of this session.

A NEW ARNOLD CASE
Pretty New York Girl Has
Disappeared.
(National News Association


New York, July 2O-Another
strange disappearance like that of
Dorothy Arnold confronted the New
York police today. The girl in this Sec
ond case is Miss Louise Swan, 10
years old, very pretty, and the daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. William r.
Swan. of II West 3Oth street. She left
her home during a violent rainstorm
last Monday afternoon and since then
nothing has been seen or heard of
her.
Detectives who were called in on
the case at first suggested that Miss
Swan might have eloped. The mother
replied that Louise had never been in
love. Mrs. Swan was then asked if
she believed her daughter had gone
on the stage.
Louise detested the STAGE" was
the mothers reply. She was intense
ly religious-in fact, she might have
been called a religious fanatic"
After the police had searched for
three days for her daughter, Mrs
Swan collapsed and, crazed with the
fear that Louise may have been muir
dered, or is being held a prisoner, the
mother now is at the point of death.
Her physician has been keeping her
under the influence of opiates for the
last As hours fearing that she might
attempt to destroy herself

CAMPF|ELD HAS A
TILT WITH MAYOR
Regarding the Mayors Dec
laration Favoring Private
Board Meetings.

After being told by City Attorney
A. NJ Gardner that there would be
no necessity of holding private ses-
sions in consideration of the water
works question, Mayor Zimmerman
moved at meeting of the board of
works this morning that all state
ments by companies should be submit
ted at regular meetings of the board.
Mr.. Gardner said that should the city
wish to compile a proposition without
regard to the two submitted a private
session would be satisfactory.
E. M. Campfield was before the
board and demanded that date be
set for a hearing of his company's
proposal. He told the mayor without
hesitation that he was opposed to
secret sessions.
We have nothing to hold back from
the public. We want to be square,"
said Campfield
The mayor asked Campfield why
he had made declaration impugning
the honesty of the city government.
Campfield countered with the ques-
ton. We'll, how about your own talk
ing?

ENGINEER IS SHOT
AND TRAIN LOOTED
Buffalo, N. D. Scene of One
of Most Daring Robber-
les Ever Perpetrated.
(National News Associa tion)

(National News ASSOcia tlon)
Buffalo, N D., July 20.-Train No. 2,
the eastbound North coast limited on
the Northern Pacific railroad was held
up by three masked robbers near here
last night. The robbers secured a
small sum of money and few watch
.es The bandits were forced to shoot
Engineer S. P. Olson Of Fargo twice
before he would stop the train. After
robbing the passengers the bandits
made their escape in an automobile.
The performance as executed was
one of the most daring ever perpetrat-
ed in this part of the country and
showed that the men were no anna
teurs at the business as every move
ment was cleverly planned and ad-
mirably executed. When they succeed
ed in bringing the train to a stop at
the High Bridge at Valley City the
three men boarded it and went into
the day coach. Heavily armed and
shooting recklessly in order to intim-
idate the passengers, they lined the
train crew up at one end of the car
The sleeper was entered and, in or
der to awaken the occupants of berths
shot was fred down the center of
the aisle.

According to a Wisconsin
University Report.

Madison, Wis, July 20-That over
100000, 100000 is spent in the United
States annually for food, shelter and
clothing and that 80 per cent of this
is spent by women who have no ade-
quate knowledge of money values, is
stated in the new bulletin of the
Course in Home Economics at the I'm
iversity of Wisconsin, just issued.
In any other phase of life, it is
pointed out, the persons intrusted
with such expenditures would be re-
quNed to pass through a rigid system
of training.
The state is taxed, the bulletin con-
tinues, to provide instruction in the
principles governing the production OF
ra wmaterial and the manufacture of
these raw materials. Women should
be trained to use this material so that
there will be the least possible waste
of time or money and the best results
obtained.
