IT Was
A PUT UP JOB
This is the Opinion Of Dis.
trlct Attorney who IS
Looking Up Details

The men who robbed the Mckenzie
p~ostotlice, two weeks ago, escaped
with the aid Of outsiders. {
This is the opinion of United States
District Attorney Edward Engerud,
of Fargo, who registered yesterday
at the Mckenzie, and who is quietly
at work seeking a clue as to where
the robbers have escaped to.
The robbery occurred two weeks
ago Monday night. They were caught
and about to be placed in the county
Jail at Bismarck, when It was decid-
ed to place them in separate jails to
prevent them from aiding each other
to escape, as they threatened to do.
FitZsimmons was placed in Burleigh
county Jail and Rogers was taken to
the county jail at jamestown.
Thursday night the men broke jail
and escaped, and no trace has yet
been found. They have totally disap-
peared. The two ~acconplices. 100
miles apart, escaped from the law on
the same night.
"The question is" said Mr.. Enge-
rud, was there any communication
between them, 0 L any help from the
outside? Is il merely a coincidence,
or is it a put-up' job? In my opinion,
it is a job from beginning to end, and
it would he mighty interesting read.

CREATING new STATES.
Work That Congress May Do, but,
Once Done. Cannot Undo.

Work That Congress May Do, but,
Once Done, Cannot Undo.
Several times it has been proposed
to make two states out Of the state OF
New York. In fact, resolutions have
been introduced in the state legisla-
ture once or twice, but have died in
committee. The purpose has been to
include all of the present state south
Of Westchester county in a new state
to be called Gin n instance) the state
Of Manhattan. North Of the Bronx
district the name of New York was
still to be retained. The surrounding
islands Of the south-all those Of Long
Island sound, Long Island complete
and all of the counties comprising
New York city-were to be embraced
within the new state of Manhattan.
The creation of n new state confers
a right that cannot later be abrogated
and in this respect is unique in the
establishment of political areas. After
the people of the district in question
have decided by vote that the carry
ing out Of a new state is desired. con-
gress passes upon the application. Up
to this point congress is supreme.
Once, however. congress agrees to he
new state creation and the ley state
becomes an established fact, then no
power of the republic can undo what
has been done by legislative act. No
repeal can revoke the privileges OF a
law abiding sovereign state. New

Beauty Of inequality.

The beauty as we'll as the happiness
of the universe requires inequality
Equal lines, smooth surfaces and eter'

have hill and dale. mountain and val

tudes. worlds of all sizes. minds Of all
dimensions and persons and faces OF
divers casts and colors to constitute a
beautiful and happy world. We must
have sexes, conditions and circum-
stances-empires. nations and families
Universities in person. mind. manners.

ley livery barn, and was n Of the
first settlers here. Miss airline was
born in Bismarck and grew to be a
young lady here, she and her mother
making Bismarck their home after
her fathers death. Mrs. White has
a lost of friends in the capital city,
who will mourn her death greatly.
The remains will be brought here
Wednesday on No. 3.for burial in the
Catholic cemetery, where Mr.. White

Ball a Girls Game.

OF all. the games ball seems to be
peculiarly a girls game throughout the
ages. The Roman girls used to strike
balls with the palm Of the hand to
keep them bouncing or would fling
them against the wall to drive them
back on the return or would pass the
ball from hand to hand in the ring or
in q row. The ball Of the olden times
was much like the one now in use. 1t
was soft or hard, as occasion demand
ed; it was plain with painted or en-
broidered cloth; it was a hollow large
balloon or n small light sphere. The
German poets make frequent allusion
to ball as a girls game. 1t was de-
scribed as q first sport OF summer.
One writer observes, when l saw the
girls on the street playing ball then
came to our ears the song of birds"
The game was a favorite one with
youths and maids. who would contend
for the ball, that the n who gained
it might throw it to the n loved best.

derful stories were told of his vlcto.

1t wasn't there. He sprang to his feet
and looked around. The bag was creep
ing slowly across the floor.
The gendarme drew his saber and,
remembering that every soldier of
France carries a field marshals baton
in his knapsack. advanced in open for
nation to intercept the bag. The bag
began a flank movement. and the SER
geant deployed to meet it. Then the
bag retreated.
The bag paused. and then it suddenly
charged directly down on the officer,
who by a clever fanking movement
avoided the o%nrushing sack and lunged
at it with his saber as it went by.
The bag went cavorting around the
floor in utter disregard of accepted
military strategy. and the gendarme
climbed on a desk and called for re-
endorsements. A half dozen other gen.
| darmes responded. Together they eau
tiously surrounded the bag.
The sergeant advanced. boldly seized
the bottom of the bag. cut the string
with his saber and emptied the bags
