George Hudson, otherwise known as

urday morning from Minot to answer
to the charge of having been connect
ed with the. gang which held up and
attempted to rob the depot agent at
the 500 station about three weeks
ago. The man was arraigned Satur-
day afternoon before Judge Moe, and
asked to be given until next Monday
to secure his witnesses for the pre-
liminary hearing. He pleaded not
guilty to the charge. =,
Hudson is said to be a bad man, "
and it is alleged that he has been
connected with several robberies and
holdups along the line of the 500 this
fall. His arrest was made in Minot
last week, on holdup charge, but the
evidence was not strong enough to
hold him there, and as he was believ-
ed to have been implicated in the Val

ed of their winnings in poker game,

was shot and killed, and another

way he handled himself Saturday, ex

Parcel Post and
The Local Dealer
ZONE SYSTEM, ADVANTAGE
TO THE COUNTRY MER-
#3 CHANTS.

One Of the most important features
Of the parcels post which is to be in
augurated by the government on Jan
uary LIST, is it's effect upon the retail
merchants. For years the system
was fought by many retail dealers as
sociations on the ground that it would
afford cheaper means for the mail
order houses of Chicago and other
large centers to get their goods to the
consumer in competition with the
local merchants. But according to
local postal Officials, the zone sys-
TEN in fixing the charges on packages
will obviate this and the parcels post
will operate in favor rather than
against the interests of the local
dealers.
While the plan adopted by con-
gress of dividing the country into
quadrangles Of about 80 miles square
and making the rate to any place in
that quadrangle identical with the
rate in every other part for goods
sent in from some other quadrangle
outside Of the first zone will make a
slight variation in the distance the
approximate manner in which the
zones are defined by the law is that
first zones consist of all territory
within so miles of any center, the
second zone of all within $50 miles
and outside the first zone, the third
of all within 800 miles and outside
the second, the fourth of all within
600 miles and outside the third, the
fifth Of all within 1000 miles and
outside the fourth, the sixth of all
within 1,4OO miles and outside the
fifth, the seventh of all within 1900
miles and outside the sixth, and the
eighth of all outside the seventh.
Local Merchants Have Advantage

transportation of packages to the diff
ferent zones. A local merchant may

Tuesday was Jonah day at the

G Frank FISHER who has beer in the

Of murder is having hearing before
Judge Moe today. It will be remem-
bered that this is the party who beat
up his companion with a club at the
elevator at Urbana some time ago,
inflicting wounds from which the
victim died. The men it is< claimed,
were both drinking heavily when the
assault occurred and had been play
ing poker for money. There was no
attempt to rob the body of the vic
tim, in fact the man who committed.
the crime used the bloody club to flag
a freight train which brought to Val
ley City the man who was injured as
we'll as Fisher the man who COM
mitted the assault. The general
opinion seems to be that it was a
