hOId-Up Men Rob
Pool Room In ledI.
BANDITS HOLD POOL ROOM HAB-
TUES AT POINT OF GUNS FOR
". TWENTY MINUTES.

Leal, N. D., Oct. 6.-(SpeciaD -
Two bold bad bandits held up and
robbed twenty men and boys, gather.
ed in a pool room in Leal Thursday
evening, relieving them of in the
neighborhood of $4,000, as near as
could be ascertained. It is said that
several hundred brass chips were also
confiscated.
Pool and card games We're in full
blast when the robbers entered the
room, and commanded the occupants
to throw UP their hands" and line
themselves up against the wall, while
one of the bandits relieved them of
their "kale" No masks were worn
by the visitors, and good descriptions
of them were obtained. One man
was of medium height, dark complex
ion and wore black overcoat. The
other man was tall, light complexion,
and wore no overcoat.
After keeping their victims against
the wall for twenty minutes with
their hands extended above their
heads, the hold ups ran for two
freight trains which were standing in
the yards, and about to leave, and
boarded them. No trace of them has
been found since that time.

There appears disposition on the
part of many to criticise the girl of
the period for her eccentricies in her
dress, but do her critics realize the
peculiar position in which she finds
herself? Her mother, doubtless, has
taught her that her principal business
in life is to attract mankind, in order
to do this she, naturally, porceeds
along the lines of least resistance, or,
to use a common expression, she
travels on her shape" One must ad-
mire her courageous frankness, for
evidently she had nothing to conceal.
Perhaps some day the girl will realize
that the kind of a chap who Is attract
ed by the present display Of curves
and angles isn't worth having and
that to secure the respect and admir-
alton Of the worthy man she will have
to pay some attention to the artistic
drapings Of . former era.-Ex.

the law more democratic and more

Barnes County Farmer
Shows Fine BeetS
A PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION
SHOWS SUGAR BEETS CAN
BE GROWN PROFITABLY.
(From Mondays Daily

(rrom Mondays Daily
C. J. Lee was displaying this morn
ing some of the finest samples of su
gar beets shown in the city this year
The beets were grown on his Cuba
farm near this city, and rival in size
and quality beets grown in the heart
of the beet sugar country of Montana
or California.
In size the beets weigh from two
and one quarter pounds to five pounds
Mr.. Lee has received a request from
Prof J. w. Ince, of the department OF
chemistry of the state agricultural
college to send him the samples, as
the A. C. is making tests for sugar
with beets from number of fields
in the state. A test made of beets
grown by Prof James of the State
Normal school showed Is per cent of
sugar, but Mr. Lees beets, it is ex-
pected, will show even a higher per-
centage.
The following dispatch from Mason
City, Iowa, shows the views OF ex-
perts on the possibility of growing
beets in the northwest:
Those who have studied the beet
sugar situation in the northwest are
confident that some day the manu-
facture of beet sugar in the north will
be as much of a commercial factor as
the manufacture of cane sugar in the
south.
Investors in beet sugar plants are
not crying for high tariff, but they
want definite legislation so they can
proceed upon settled principles. Iowa
has only one sugar factory, and that
is located at Waverly and is owned
by the American Sugar Refining
company. Minnesota has one factory,
located at Chaska, and there are
score of cities and towns in the two
states clamoring for plant. Clear
Lake, Usage and Emmetsburg, all in
Iowa, want factories. In the Chaska
territory, Winnebago wants one, so
does Albert Lea and Mankato. But
the sugar men say they cannot now
give encouragement until there is
fixed and settled tariff policy.
The plant at Waverly cost approx
mately 100000. 1t was built in 1907,
and the upkeep has been heavy. This
factory this fall and early winter will
handle $4,000 tons of beets and con-
vert them into about 1900 tonso f
sugar. The entire output has been
sold, much of it being purchased by
the state board of control
Sugar beets can be raised with
Sood profit. 1t cost about SIG an acre
to buy the seed, plant, care for and
harvest the crop. This is done largely
by Russians. The average yield is
from te nto twenty tons an acre, and
the price is fixed at S. ton at the
point of delivery Some farmers this
year have netted $50 an acre on their
land

served by Landlord and Mrs, Challen-

There was a story circulating in
Putnam Thursday to the effect that
the fire which destroyed the big barn
at the Windham county home for chill
dren Wednesday afternoon was set by
one of the boys who is an inmate of
the institution.
When asked as to the authenticity
Of the report, Supt. Job Thatcher
would not deny or verify it. He said
that an investigation as to the cause
OF the fire was being made; that there
were many things to be considered
and that he had nothing to say at
present,
Some Of the children in the home
reported to Mrs. Thatcher, the matron,
soon after the fire started, that they
saw three disreputable men coming
from the barn and that the men chased
them, and the children went so far
as to describe one of the men. Thurs
days story is a later version and
which one contains the more truth will
be demonstrated in due time.
Mr.. Thatcher said Thursday that
the livestock which was at the burned
barn is now being kept at Marvin Ell
liott's place, not far from the home
This arrangement will be inconveni-
ent as compared with the regular order
of things, but 1t is q satisfactory one
everything considered.
The county will build another struc-
ture to replace the one destroyed, but
just when this work will commence
is uncertain.

HEIRS TO ss.ooo.ooO.
Oliver White and Other Relatives May
Claim Philadelphia Estate.

Oliver White, who lives on what is
known as the Gilbert place, near the
railroad south from Franklin street,
is believed to be an heir, one of sew
eral, to a fortune amounting to 49,
100000, invested principally in real
estate in Philadelphia. Attorneys who
have charge of the settlement of the
estate have been in communication
with Mr.. White and it is expected that
something more definite will be known
about the matter in short time.
The story connected with the proba-
bility of Mr.. White coming in for
share of the big fortune is an intense
Iy interesting one and develops around
the life experience of an uncle of tho
local Mr.. White, who is a son of the
late Oliver White, in business for
many years at the place that he own
ed on Railroad squal e.
When youth, with an unquencha-
BILE longing for adventure, it is relat-
ed, a brother of the late Oliver White,
ST., and therefore an uncle of the
Oliver White now resident in Daniel
son, ran away from home and enlisted
for service in the civil war. After the
great conflict, this boy came to Phil
adelphia, where a man of wealth and
without children of his own, conceived
special liking Tor him, eventually
adopting him and making him his heir.
III the years the two men remained to-
gether the fortune of the older man
continued to grow or eater and greater,
and upon his death, there being no
blood relatives of the fnancier. the
fortune passed without contest to Mr..
White.
The first heard of the fact by the
local relatives of the latter was about
three years ago, when, following the
death of Mr.. White, who was known as
I-aBlanche an effort was made by at
torneys to locate his heirs. Mr.. White,
OF LeBlanche, also died witho;It wife
or children, and the problem now pre-
scented is to locate all of his heirs elig-
ihle to be counted in on the sharing OF
the mammoth estate. The local
Whites know little of their million
aire uncle. but there seems no doubt
that they are legal heirs to his great
estate. Mr.. White has three sisters,
formerly residents of Danielson. There
are also brothers and sisters Of the
deceased Mr. White in other eastern
Connecticut towns.
