500 OPERATOR
SHOWED BRAVERY

Valley City, N. D., Nov. 5.-About
1 a, m. this morning two masked men
suddenly appeared in the ticket office
at the 500 depot and ordered the
baggageman and operator to hold up
their hands. The demands were
backed by a couple Of ugly looking
guns so no time was lost in comply
ing with the orders.
One of the men attacked the money
drawer and had it in his hands when
Night Operator Beck succeeded in Sc
curing his gun and opened fire on the
men. One. of the men extinguished
the lights and in making their get
away they dropped the money drawer,
which contained about $95.
Chief Swanson and Deputy Sheriff
Kelly were Immediately SEN for but
were unable to locate the men, or to
find any trace of them. 1t is sup
posed that the men managed to Sc
crete themselves in the freight house
during the early evening and after
all was still to make their way into
the office u~nobserved. 1t is reason
ably certain that after the display of
courage they met with at the hands
of Operator Beck they will hesitate to
return and try to ecure the booty they
came sc near getting away with. 1t is
not thought that either Of the men
were hit. .

Bantry, N. D., Nov. 5.-'Tis better
to be, born lucky than rich, for riches
come to those who are lucky-and it
would seem there is such a thing as
luck despite the various opinions and
beliefs to the contrary; and it would
seem, also, that j. e. Morgan and c.
w. Bell, who live a few miles east of
Bantry are two of these mortals-
and farmers-whom dame fortune
hath looked upon with a radiant and
smiling countenance.
Last spring Mr.. Morgan and Mr..
Bell broke up 100 acres of meadow
land and seeded it with flax. This fall
their thought and labor were reward
ed with a twenty-four bushel to the
acre yield of flax, all of which now
lies in the local elevator, awaiting for
its owners to say, sold"
Mr.. Morgan has been farming sandy
soil and managing a ranch for fun
long enough-and now he is going to
form for another purpose-doubtless
to make his lucky star" prove its
identity.
And Mr.. Belize is doing likewise!

Forty. Seven Bushels of Barley.

Bowbells, N. D., Nov. 5.-Without
any question the heaviest crop of bar
ley ever threshed in the state of
North Dakota or in the entire north
west, Canada included, was that
threshed on the John Erickson farm
near Coteau. The tract now belongs
to A. C. Wiper of this city who had
the crop put in. The land is nothing
out Of the ordinary, and in fact many
state it is not as good as much other
and here. 1t was seeded to barley
last spring because 1t was thought
that nothing else would grow on it.
The patch consists Of 1913 acres and
threshed some over 5000 bushels,
making an average of almost forty
seven bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Albertson at first would not be-
lieve that the yield was so great and
figured it UP several times before be-
coming convinced. Mr.. Wiper at first
was sure Albertson was making it
pretty strong, but finally also had to
admit that all the figures were right.
This land paid for itself almost twice
over this eason and it wasn't a very
good year for barley, either.

unpleasant coincidence. When he en-

was surprised to find that the lights
were on upstairs He was certain he
heard a noise like some one walking
Then the lights went out.
Convinced that there was a burglar in
the house, he rushed across the street to
telephone the police for he was unarmed.
Two, policemen came flying on motor
cycles. More surprising than ever, the
lights were on when the officers and Mr.
King entered the house. But there was
no burglar to be found. An investiga-
ton revealed an open window in the sun

somewhat disarranged,

next day solved the mystery. He said

cried. Come quick"

had pistols and hurried to the scene.

heavy breathing. The policeman struck
a match.

and the policeman shouted in unison

Throw up Your hands." commanded

He had recovered his composure in
few minutes, however, and then he
