Topeka, Kan, Aug. 24.-The daring
hold-up of the Union Pacific mail train
near here Thursday night was not
the first big robbery Wells Lounsberry
of Medford. Ore, had executed. As
he lay on a cot in the hospital here,
seriously wounded, Lounsberry con-
fessed he held up a Southern Pacific
train in similar manner last Janu-
airy at Red Bluffs, Cal.
His operations then were similar to
those used Thursday. The robber said
in the California hold-up he boarded
the train at Red Bluffs and forced
the three mail clerks to pick out the
registered mail for him. At Redding.
he boarded Pullman on the same
train and escaped detection. A re-
ward of $4,000 had been offered for
the capture of the Red Bluffs rob.

mail clerks bound and gagged. Word
of the robbery then was telephoned

AGRICUL TURAL EXHIBITS
FROM FIFTY COUNTIES

Sixty per cent Of the counties OF
Minnesota will be represented by ex-
hibits in the agricultural building at
the Minnesota State Fair this fall.
This is the most remarkable show
ing ever made in Minnesota or In any
other state. 1t will afford an opportu.
nifty for citizens and prospective citi'
zens to learn the character of the soil
and the crop possibilities of any par.
ticular section of the state in which
they may be interested and Of the
state as whole.
In order to house these fifty exhibits
1t has been necessary to build large
addition to the agricultural building
and even with this added room, it has
been found necessary to do some very
careful planning.
The county exhibits will all be prop
erly taken care of. however and each
county will be given every opportu-
nifty to advertise its resources and to
win the liberal prizes offered by the
fair association.

Scores Worked at Rescue.
Scores Of rescuers, working one at

hours to dig him out. All night long
and all day they tore and dug at the

no pain he shrieked with agony when

MUST LIVE WITHIN INCOME
judge Refuses to Grant a Divorce to
a Wife Who Charges She Was
Subjected to Cruelty.

Franklin, Pa-That it is the right
of a husband to insist that his wife
keep the family's expenditures well
within his income was a rule laid
down here by Judge George S. Girls
well in refusing to grant to Mrs. Laura
F. Sylvester, of Oil City, a divorce
from William w. Sylvester.
The wife asked for a decree on the
ground of cruelty, and at the hearing
it developed that their troubles we're
largely financial, the husband restrict
ing the wife's expenditures for the
family to a sum within his income
In discussing this phase Of the case
Judge Criswell said:
The husband had upon him the
burden of the family maintenance.
His income, while fair, was limited,
and it was only reasonable on his part
to insist that proper relation should
be maintained between such income
and the family expenses. The failure
to preserve it could result in his
humiliation and loss of caste and
standing for business integrity among
his associates and in the community,
something highly priced by a man of
principle and honor
