THINK ELOPERS
CAME TO N. D.

Devils Lake, N. D.. Aug. S.-Con-
verse & Grannis, lawyers of South
st. Paul, have written a letter to
Chief of Police Barnes, asking him
to try and locate a man and woman
who left st. Paul about 9:4O p. m.
Wednesday, July 81.
The woman's name is given as An
ma Bugarin and that Of the man is
Nick Brkity. 1t is an elopement, pure
and simple, Or rather, neither pure nor
simple, as Anna has another man in
st. Paul, who is on the war path over
the getaway.
The woman is about 26 years OF
age and the man about % or 80. II
is supposed that a little girl accom-
panied them in their flight. They are
thought to be in the vicinity of Dew
ills Lake, as the man has worked in
this part of North Dakota for the
past two or three summers. The par
ties concerned are ~servians and any
information as to their whereabouts
will be thankfully received by the 10.
cal police department.

several HOLDDPS
Denied BY POLICE
SAY REPORTS OF NUMEROUS
HoLDUPs ARE MUCH ExAG-
GERATED-pENY THAT CASES
HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO Po-
LICE DEPARTMENT,

'If all the numerous holdups Are
on every night and in broad daylight
every hour in the day as the morn
ing paper states, the police depart
ment knows nothing about them,' said
Desk Sergeant Roman this morning.
"The first we know about a lot of
these sensational robberies and at
tempted robberies Is when we see
them in the paper and we generally
find there that the case has been re-
ported to the police.
Just where all his dope comes from,
I'm sure l don't know for none of
these cases have been reported at po-
lice headquarters at all. At least
there is no record Of any such report
SO that the different patrolmen can
be put to working on them. The
morning paper knew a lot more about
the Hanson murder than the police
did and for several issues
gave OF stories supposed to have
been reported to the department which
we didn't know about until we saw
them in print.
Everything about these hoIdups is
greatly exaggerated. The man claim
right in broad daylight on the N. P.
tracks was reported in here late yes
terday afternoon. The way we got it
is that the man was intoxicated and
lying down for a snooze under the
bridge. 1t is said a man was seen
going through his pockets. The
foundry man who saw this evidently
took his time telephoning the station
for 1t was more than an hour later
that any report was made here.
I'VE have received no report at all
on the case of the robbery committed
out by the fair grounds, though l see
by the paper the a s was reported
to the department. The alleged hold
up near the A. G. is something new
to us"

LANDOFFICE.
sent NOTICES
HoMEsTEADERs HAVE BEEN
NOTIFIED or PROVISIONS
or NEW HOMESTEAD
AVA

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. S.-The law
OF June 6, 1912. providing for the
three year proof, also provided that
notice should be sent to each person
who had an unprotected homestead
entry, of their right to perfect their
entry under the law under which 1t
was made. Blanks were provided and
sent out for such election. The local
landoffice sent out 5,237, elections to
make proof under the law under
which the entries were made. The
homesteader is given 100 days in
which to file such election. In case he
fails to elect within that time he must
make his proof under the provisions
of the three year law. The old law
allowed proof to be made after five
years residence and before the expira-
tion of seven years from the date OF
Ming. The new law allows proof
after three years residence n re-
quires that proof shall be made with
in five years from the date of filing.
The notices to entryman, to make
election, were sent out to the record
address Of the entrymen, several hun
dred of them have been returned mot
called for by the postmaster of the
Office where sent. This is probably
due to the entryman's having changed
his ~postoffice address after filing and
not thereafter having notified the
landoffice of the change. Whenever
a homesteader changes his postofftce
address after making entry and before
he makes proof, he should at once
notify the landoffice of his change OF
address, So the same can be entered
on their records.

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
CLAIMS He WENT
FROM FARGO TO
FORKS TO Battle.

Grand Forks, NJ. D., Aug. 8.-R.
Crubners, claiming Fargo as his
home, was arrested last evening
shortly after supper time, after
taking a plunge in the ruby Red,
with nothing but his shirt and a
smile on. Crubners claims he was
so intoxicated when he took the
swim that he remembers nothing
about it, and started to realize
where he was after he had almost
crossed the river. His clothes
were found on the bank later on,
but the officer who arrested him
had to procure a pair Of overalls
from a nearby pawnshop in order
to take Crubners through the
street in ordinary attire. The
spectacle of a man dripping with
water, with no hat nor shoes, be-
ing taken to the station attracted
quite a crowd.
Crubners, when asked why he
took his unusual bath, says he

Is So poor there that he thought
he would take advantage OF this
opportunity to battle, while in

PLAN TO-
"GEI" BANDITS
FERGUS FALLS JOURNAL SAYS
FARGO SHOULD ADOPT SCHEME
TO BREAK UP RoBsERlEs ON
STREETS THAT WAS SUCCESS
FULLY USED IN MINNEAPOLIS.

Fergus Falls Journal: Fargo ought
to adopt the plan that proved effective
in Minneapolis a year or two ago.
When the hold-up men began killing
too many people on the streets Of thar
city, detectives dressed like passengers
who had just gotten off trains, were
sent to walk about the avenues where
the murderers were the most numers
Gus. Some of the detectives carried
paper sacks as II they had Just pur-
chased a little fruit, and inside these
they gripped revolvers. When the
hold-up men came at them and told
them to throw up their hands, they
threw them UP high enough to take
aim and shooting followed. One high
wayman was killed outright and one
badly injured the first night and hold
ups were not as numerous afterwards.
This was the best piece of detective
work we have heard of in some years.
Fargo ought to adopt this plan with
an occasional change in the details.

MORE CLAIMS TO
Be GIVEN AWAY
OVER 700 NEW CLAIMS WILL BE
GIVEN AWAY IN THE BERTH
OLD RESERVATION.

Minot, N. D., Aug. S.-Over 700 new
claims in the Berthold Indian reser-
vatlon Will be given away, starting
Monday, when Judge James w. Written
will call the-numbers from 1851 to
5000.
OF the 5000 names drawn at the
opening q year ago, 1850 numbers were
called last May. This resulted in 511
people taking claims. 1t was there
fore necessary to call the rest of the
numbers, and this will be started on
Monday morning.
1t is probable that the entire 5000
names will be called, and it is pos
sible that there will be claims left.
In this case the claims will be open
to general entry to take effect Oct. 1.

Err SERVING IN

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. S.-After
serving two and one-half years in
durance vile, living in anxious an
ticipation of the day when the prison
walls would ne longer stand as bar
riers between him and freedom, then
to be confronted with the grim hand
OF the land as the shackIes of impris-
onment fell from his feet, and again
be confined to the stocks on another
charge was the lot which befell F.
A. Raiders, an ex-banker of Lakota
this afternoon.
About three years ago the Peoples
state bank, of Lakota, was compelled
to close its doors. F. A. Raider was
president of the institution while S. A.
Florin was cashier. Developments
proved that the boys had been too
handy with the banks and peoples
money, with the result that the former
drew two and one-haIf years and Flor
in seven. Through good behavior Rah-
der's credits brought his term Of
servttude to a close today. A happy
day 1t was for him, until 1t came time
for him to take the train here for his
home when he was met at the depot
by Sheriff Barnes who arrested him
on a charge brought by the authori-
ties in Lakota which will hold him
for receiving deposits in a bank that
was ~insolvent. Sheriff Johnson is
here from Lakota and will take Rah-
ders back with him in the morn

Elisha Ridgeway was a simple man

cooking. Time after time he was
asked why he didn't marry, and time

"Mebbe I orter and mebbe not. I

But there came a time when he did
know. 1t was about a veal after the
death Of farmer Baker. Elisha had
known him and his wife for ten years.
For twelve months he went over and
, helped the widow out as a duty, but

man Of hers needs a man to boss him.
and some Of her cows are always
ailin' or the hogs havin' the cholera.
Elisha Ridgeway, It's your duty"
That evening he went over to see
the widow. He was more quiet than
usual, and by and by she took notice
and asked:
Elisha, anything on your mind?"
Jest a ~leetle," was the reply.
"'Tater-bugs amt come, have they?"

over this afternoon. Better set the

Elisha Ridgeway was a good.natured
mistake. He made 1t because he was

him that a woma must be won. Even
