DRUG STORE AT
M|NOT BURGLAR|zED
THIEVES GET INTO SAFE AND
GET AWAY WITH $500
IN CURRENCY. =

Minot, N. D., June 3.-Thieves
entered the Taylor Drug Company's
store, III N. Main street, Sunday
night, or early this morning, and
escaped with !s4l0 taken from the
safe. ~s
Entrance was apparently gained
TO the store through a barred win
dow, in the rear. &c.,, .-.--
In order to get in, the thieves
broke out two of the bars, and
then opened the window.
According to Casper Saunder,
manager Of the store, the safe was
1ocked when the store was closed
at $3.50 o'clock Sunday night. Mr..
Saunders closed up himself.
j Nothing was known of the af-
fair until the store was again op-
bned this morning.
The doors of the safe show no
bigns eof having been tampered
with, and for that reason it is be-
heved that the marauders were
experts who were able to unlock
it by skilfull manipulation of the
combinations. ,r4- .. -
Only cash was taken. There
was $3.50 in checks in the safe
which wa left untouched. A $40
bill which was in the safe was also
overlooked. ...
The safe is in the back room of
the store and the burglars were
thus able to work without being OBJ
served from the street.
Ghe police have been notified and
are looking for clue to the 1den-
tity Of the criminals.

ITO arrest horse thief with q
horse and rig taken from a far
mer near Medora, Man. He ex-
pected to find the real old timer
who used to rustic horses in the
early days, but instead ran into
an overgrown boy II years old.
who. had been away from home
and mother working for the far
mer all spring. His wages amount
ed to $40 but the farmer had
refused to pay him but IS. The
boy was home sick and green, and
being afraid he would be euchered
out of his money entirely, he
took a horse anu buggy and
started for home, leaving a trail
behind him plain enough to locate
him on a dark night. The pro-
vincial police and Jas. Wilkinson
of Deloraine, we'll known here,
came over after him Monday after
noon; returning the same evening.
They said his age ana the con-
|!ditions would likely Tighten his
sentence though it could run any,
where from six months 10 twenty
years. He expected to send for
his father at Clarissa, Mimi, at
once, and his presence would pos
sibly help the kid out some.

.tng tragedy ever known in the his
tory Of this community occurred
on Saturday afternoon when Arve
Nelson, the 1S-year-old son OF
Hels Nelson, living two miles from
l3his place, accidentally shot and
teiiled his 16-year-old sister.
The scene at the !, Nelson home
is a pathetic one, the mother and
the brother being almost PROSTATE
with grief, which the father bears
nobly, though heartoroken.
Details are meagre, but the fol-
lowing is the story as received
last evening over the telephone
from party Just from tho scene
of the tragedy: 1t seems that
the boy took the shot gun and
with his sister started out in pur-
suit Of rabbit.
When In a neld near ny -ArVe
threw two shells into the gun and
in closing it both barrels were
discharged, the full charge striking
his sister in the back. She drop
ped, death being instantaneous.
Stunned for moment at the sur
prising explosion, Arve realized
soon that an awful tragedy had ot-
CURED at his hands.
Rushing to. his sister he tried :t' tc ,
sstse her in hopes that the worst
had not happened. The pale
face told him at a glance that
the worst had happened. Frantic
with grief and staggering with
shocked sensibilities Arve made
his way to the house.

FOUND DEAD IN
THE HAY NOW
SON FINDS BODY OF HIS FAITH
ER DEAD WHEN HE STARTS
FEEDING HORSES.

Finely, N. D.. June 4.--Lars H.
Martinson, The liveryman, was
found dead in the haymow Of
the livery barn. His son Louis
had gone into the NOV to throw
down some hay and came near
sticking the pitchfork into the
body of his father. Mr.. Martin
son had disappeareu the evening
before, and the family could find
no trace of him, and they were
wondering where he had gone.
The coroner, DR.. Goodheart. was
Immediately notified and took
charge of the body. Drs. Good
heart and Heimark conducted an
autopsy, which revealed the fact
that the man had taken a large
dose of carbolic acid, also that
he must have been temporarily In
sane when he done so, as quite q
large quantity of water was found
on his brain, which would indi-
cate that the man had been SUI
fering. It had been noticed by
a few that he had not been
right for several days previous.
He had been drinking considerab-
ly lately and undoubtedly that
contributed somewhat to the ment-
al state he must have been in.
He was born in Wisconsin and
was 81 years. Of age, and leaves a
wife and seven children, three
having died. He came to Golden
Lake township, Steele county,
about twenty-seven years ago,
where he farmed until about a
year ago, when he bought a liv
cry business In Finley and moved
into town.

ed by many that Ambrose's
chances of winning out are the
very best. These opinions are
based on the claim that there is
absolutely no doubt that the vot

no court can do otherwise than
throw out the vote. That would
give Ambrose a majority of the leg

BIG TELEPHONE FIGHT
ON At bELTH0LD
RAILROAD COMMISSION WILL
SETTLE QUESTION OF SER
VICE BY COMPANIES,

The state board of railroad CON-
m1ssioners will have an interesting
and important issue to decide be-
tween two telephone companies
soon. The Farmers Telephone
company Of Berthold has fled
complaint with the commission to
the effect that the Northern Tele-
phone company refuses to estab-
lish physical connection with the
Farmers line SO THAT the patrons
OF the latter may enjoy the advant-
ages OF the Northern's long dis
ance service.
An effort has been made by the
two companies to adjust their dif-
fercnces but as yet this has not
been accomplished and 1t is not
very likely the commission will
have to hold a hearing in the mat
ter.
Not Fair Play.
This question involves very
important issue which Is OF inter-
est to all the telephone lines In
the state as there has heretofore
been very strenuous opposition to
the proposition of physical con-
nection between the various COM
panies, at least on the part Of the
long distance lines. which hold
that they should not be compelled
to place their highly equipped Or
ganizations at the service OF what
they claim is the less efficient riv-
ais Of competition as the case may
be.
Wisconsin Takes Stops.
The railroad commission OF Wis
consin has Just decided what ID
believed to be the first issue of
this kind by ordering q physical
connection and interchange OF
business between two La Crosse
companies and patrons OF one line
nection being divided between the
companies an patrons OF ono line
before the use Of the others long
distance service. This decision is
based upon the theory that all
public utilities companies are bound,
for the good OF the public. to
grant the greatest use Of their
properties, whether they wish to
afford that extension Of the utility
or not, and the fact that adequate
compensation must be paid for this
enforced service is thought by the
Wisconsin commission to obvlate
any constitutional objection that
may arise.
This very interesting case will
In all probability get into the courts
and one of the companies involved
promises to take it to the United
States court Of defeated in the low
er courts.
