THOUGHT WIFE HAD
BEEN SHOT DEAD
Neighbors of Max Woman
Phone to Sheriff that She
Had Been Shot

Minot. N. D., July 81. Hear
ing shots fired in the vicinity of
Mrs. John Kalmage's home near
Max about midnight last night,
led several of the woman's neigh
bors to believe that her husband
had taken revenge for her action
yesterday in swearing out a war
rant for his arrest for beating
her with a spade, and they i'm
mediately telephoned Sheriff Kel-
leg telling him that Kalmage had
fired two shots at his wife and
had killed her.
Mr.. Kelly notified Coroner Tay-
lor and Judge Murray and the
three left Minot about 2::30 this
morning for the Kalmage home.
Arriving there, however, they
were surprised to be greeted by
Mrs. Kalmage, who was very
much alive. 1t developed, how
ever, that Kalmage had secured
a rifle from a neighboring Rus
sian and going down near his
home had fired a couple of shots.
possibly into the air, hoping to
frighten his wife into coming
outside. He had returned the
gun to it's owner early this morn
ing for it was found there by
the sheriff and his party.
Sheriff Kelly tried to get Kal-
mage yesterday but he success
fully eluded his pursuers and a
careful search will be pushed
until he is captured. The officials
are inclined to consider him as a
dangerous character. i

The Great Northern railroad
surveyors reached the Murphy
corner with their survey Satur-
day evening, and Monday morn
ing started the line from this
city to the place on the Canadian
line. where the Grand Trunk
reaches the boundary. Guy L.
Scott, the right-of-way man, re-
turned to his home at Minot Sat-
urday evening, but came back
again Wednesday afternoon and
is already dickering with farmers
on the line between Niobe and
this city. Those which Mr.. Scott
has already talked with and CIV
en- an offer on a part or all of their
land near Bowbells are V. L.
Lind, Mrs. E. E. Corey, VIM.
Conrad, Chas. Shenneman, R. F.
Migge and others, though he has
taken several trips out in the
country toward Niobe and prob
ably also did some work out
there. All officials of the rail-
road who have been in the city
the past week admit that the
depot will be constructed on the
Murphy corner. It is believed
that more preliminary surveys
will be made before the grading
starts, but that the line from
Niobe to Murphy corner will be
accepted.

SAND .vETCH GROWS
W|LD IN CANADA
r. O. McElwain Says Seed
Can be Bought for so {
Cents Per Bushe1

Bowbells people will remem-
Der the sand vetch which was
exhibited at the county fair here
last fall by John Skinner and for
which so much was claimed by
the exhibitor. A sample of the
vetch was left with E. E. Hart
man and for several months it
was displayed in the window of
his jewellery store. Several seed
pods which were not quite ripe
were seen by Mr.. Hartman at
tached to the vines and after he
thought the grass had been in the
window long enough he gather
ed all the pods he could find and
saved them until this spring.
When making his garden several
months ago he planted the seed,
and three real healthy plants
grew up as a result. The three
vines attracted considerable at
tention from our people and Mr..
Hartman took great pride in
them, and at the same time
figured what his profits would be
at selling seed next fall at $500
per bushel. During the. races
here an extra large number of
farmers looked at his plants
and among them was R. o. Nc
Elwaln Of Prince Albert, Alta,
a son in law Of George Straw
bridge of near Flaxton. Mr.. Nc
Elwain could not see anything
out of the ordinary in the gar
den until his attention was called
to the yetch, and then he start
ed to laugh. He said that the
same plant covered thousands Of
acres in Canada and grew in a
wild state. He said the people
in Alberta called it the Canadian
wild pea, and seed could be
purchased for SO cents per
bushel in any quantity. He ad-
mitted it made a good feed for
cattle, hogs, horses, etc., but he
thought the Salzer Seed Co.
were making too much money
on it at $14.00 per hundred.
Those who planted any of this
vetch here this season are more
than satisfied with the results
obtained. Many others would
have probably given it a trial,
too, had not the price of seed
been so high. If it can be gotten
for SOC. per bushel and freight
it is believed that several hund-
red farmers residing here will
put some in next spring.

Got His Answer.

When Oscar Wilde came to the
United States to lecture on aesthet-
les In his highly aesthetic velvet cos
tume-and incidentally to prepare the
public mind for the proper apprecia-
ton OF Gilbert and Sullivan's PA
tience," In which the aesthetic move
ment was held up to ridicule-he used
to complain that America was very I'M
interesting since 1t had mo antiqui-
ties and no curiosities" But he ven
tured on this disparagement once too
often. for in the course OF his travels
he uttered 1t to the American Girl.
and she replied with the demure de-
pravity. OF candid innocent that this
was not quite a fair reproach, since
I'VE shall have the antiquities in
time. and we are already importing
the curiosities."

CAPT. M'HORNEY's STORY.

Capt. Edward McHorney OF the Jer-
the principal factor in the capture or
the First National bank burglars. was
one of the bravest men who ever won
a silver shield. Captain McHorney
died few years ago from a disease
that was Indirectly the result OF the
injuries received during the struggle
with Nose Vogel, and shortly before
death sealed his lips told me this
story:
The capture of Vogel, Dago Frank
and Johnson was due 70 the curiosity
Of woman. Her name was Mrs.
Francis, as recolIect 1t. and she ran
boarding house over Narew's oyster
saloon. which adjoined the bank. One
of the thieves-Vogei | think-hired
a room from her on the second floor.
which adjoined the bank on the east,
and opened studio as blind
Every morning regularly Mrs.
Francis was called into the studio by
the sculptor to clean up the place.
Things went on for a week or more
in this way The sculptor kept ham
mering away. and Mrs Francis en-
joyed her morning call 1t was along
about housekeeping time. and Mrs.
Francis started In one morning to
clean the windows on the sculptor's
floor

the sculptor at work. She heard him

threw down three of the best men in
the business. How they came to over.

NOSE voGEL's STORY.

1T was along back In the seven.
ties" said Nose. that Dave Cum
mings. then in the height OF his fame
as crook. met me on the BoWery,
and we went together down to the old
Atlantic Garden. Suddenly Dave
turned to me and said: 1 think you
are on the level. Nose l felt that
this was a big compliment, coming
from Dave. for he was an Independent,
high-strung fellow, who would pass
up thousand thieves without giving
one the nod of his head.
Il told Dave that had always tried
to be square and to live up to that
wheeze In the copy-books about HON
esty being the best policy He didn't
ask me to go in with him then or
even let out to me what was In his
mind. That wasn't Dawes way. But
| knew he had his eye on me as
bright lad that was sure to rise In his
profession. He did ask me TO step
down to Murray's with him. saying he
needed little money and was in the
mind to have whack at Murrays
game. He had just made big haul
somewhere and had about $4,000: SO
didn't think there was any chance of
him going to work right away. But
the cards ran against him and In less
than q week the whole bank roll had
passed into Murrays hands.
Seeing how things were going with
Dave | sort of held myself open, turn
ing down several good offers OF high
class work. Sure enough he finally
hunted me up. He had a newspaper
clipping about big special deposit,
100000, lying in bank in Jersey
City that he'd planted. and just wait
ing for somebody to come and get it.
1t made my mouth water to think or
all that money.
Dave said the work had to be
started right away, before the money
was paid out and SO. after taking
look at my engagement book. told
him was free to go to work any
time. We went right up to Harry
Hills place that night and Dave in
troduced me to ED. Johnson and Dago
Frank. pair OF AL western crooks
who had worked off several big tricks
with Dave already.
The next day we went by different
routes to Jersey City and picked out
a quiet boarding house near Union
Hill. The real work of planting the
bank then began for fair
1T took week to plant the bank.
1t came my lot to locate the vault
did this by going in to look at a direc-
tory | saw that it was an oldfash-
toned affair, built in the wall on the
east side, near the entrance opposite
the directors room. We decided to
60 through the wall, and hired a room
in the adjoining building. whose floor
was several feet above the vault. l.

was a sculptor recently landed from
Italy, and wished to set up a studio.
IL sent several blocks of marble to
the studio and commenced carving out
the busts of distinguished men Cum

ny assistants.
1t was tedious work. as we had to
go through heavy blocks of stone

room every day to clean up. The hole

A 100000 PLOT THAT FAILED

Tt II F all the thieves whom II has

IfI$Ss>k mately | have the kindliest
ExE;iiNayf recollection OF Nose Vogel.
NitESN-I1jt There was something in
tensely human about the
man; a whimsical, humorous way, that
made you forget that he was one OF
the most desperate bank robbers ever
dealt with by the New York police.
He was closely associated with all OF
the best crooks OF the world In his
day, and his shrewdness and pluck
made him in great demand as a part
ner. even though 1t was well known IN
the underworld that Nose had been
born under an unlucky star. He met
with more reverses than any crook
have ever known. and as DO not
