BOLD HOLD-UP
Yeskmen Rob 800" Depot At Thief
River Falls Early Tuesday Morning
and Get 81, 500

=. Thief River Falls, Sept. 30:-Shortly
after the O'Clock train left Thief
River Falls this morning three mask
ed men entered the 500 depot in. tNrt
city. and ordered Edward Tellenuue,
ticket agent and Charles Johnson, a
baggageman, to throw up their hands.
Both men promptly obeyed and were
then ordered to face the wall and to
keep their hands suspended in the air.
The men wore colored handkerchiefs
over their faces and performed their
work like experts. Express packages,
letters and baggage were rifled and
strewed about the floor. One package
contained 81 800 in currency and silver
and had been sent by the st. Paul
Wheat line to Warren and vicinity.
A detailed description can not be
obtained at present of any other ar.
uicles which may have been stolen.
The men made hurried departure
in an automobile and no clue can be
found as to-their whereabouts. Pc
lice officers in every section of the
state have bee n notified of the rob
berry and are on the watch for the
men. The agent was unable to give
a;clear description of the men further
than that two of them wore dark
clothes and dark SLOUGH hat. One
man appeared to be about five feet
nine inches in height and to weigh
about $50 pounds. The second was
about five feet six inches and weighed
about $50 pounds.
The robbery is claimed to be- the
most daring of any ever attempted in
Thief River falls.

armed thugs, private soldiers acting
under orders of the mine bosses. The
miners themselves are not armed.
Two of them have been killed and
others beaten up by mine deputies.
At Kearsage, not far from Calu-
met, a group Of deputies fired into a
crowd Of men, women and children,
probably MORALLY wounding Mar
garet Fazakas, a 15-year-old girl.
Among the sheriff's deputies is a .
man paroled from the Marquette
prison, where he had been sent for
20 years for arson; another had been
discharged from the Hancock police
force for brdtally beating a boy; an
other was serving a sentence in the
county Jail for bastardy, and they
turned him loose and put star on
him.
Other mine deputies are from the
slums of New York.
There is much more news of this
character, and much of the brutality
is due to thugs and desperadoes hired
and armed by the mine owners.
Probably the general public does
not know that in these industrial
troubles the employers hire strike
breakers and so-called guards
through agencies that make a
speciality of furnishing strikebreak-
ers. They get them among the I'M
employed in the big cities, and often
they have criminal records.
If strikers are peaceable, and not
raising any disturbance, then the
strikebreaking guards win start trou-
BILE themselves. 1t is part of their
game to precipitate violence, and
then place the blame on the striking
workingmen.

Mine deputies dubbed women and
girls and threw rocks at them. The
women and girls had no clubs or
weapons of any kind with which to
defend themselves.
Mine deputies shot through the
windows of a boarding house and
killed two persons. One of them was
17-year-old boy. Overwhelming evil

unvarying regularity and equally I'M
varying lack of import. The artist,
after his visit to Yup Sing, had re-

Clock Without a Spring.

A unique timepiace has recently
been invented by Eugene Walzer, a
matchmaker in Los Angeles. Four
years of work has perfected clock
which keeps accurate time but IS
without spring in its makeup.
The motive power is gained by the
clock rolling down an incline, regulat-
ed by wonderful arrangement OF
WEIGHTS on the inside Of the clock.
There is no winding to be done, but
every thirty days the clock IS lifted
to the TOP of the incline and begins
to slide downward.
The dial does not revolve with the
case, but remains as an ordinary dial
with the figure 12 at the top. The IN
cline IS of polished wood, sixteen
inches long with an 1-3 per cent
grade. There is no relation between
the wood and the clock; it is simply
a. mattery of properly adjusted weights
which move the hands and control
the downward motion Of the time
piece.-The Strand.

How Errors sect Past"
ok Virginian-Piot,

Norfolk Virginian-Pllot.
The National Magazine tells OF a
London publisher who once set out to
publish at least one book that should
he faultless in the matter Of erraFa.
He had his own proofreaders go over
and over the proofs, with the great
est care, until they had exhausted
their skill and patience and had as
sured him there we're no longer any
errors to be eliminated. Then, taking
duplicate proofs of the last issue, he
cant them to the universities and other
large publishing houses, offering large
money prizes for each error discoV-
cred. A few errors only were found
and after one had had a chance to see
if any others had been overlooked
the plates were made, the book was
printed, expeRsively bound and put
upon the market as an absolutely per
feet product and unique in all ltera-
nure from a mechanical standpoint.
For a long time this was conceded, but
six or eight months after its publ
cation a letter came to the publisher
calling attention to an error in GER
tain line and page. Later second
was discovered, and before year
had elapsed four or five errors had
been reported.
The incident is illuminatingly in
teresting as showing the difficulty
amounting to practical impossibility
of turning out a perfect volume even
when and where maximum skill and
thoroughness are available is con-
sideration. And yet the name is le-
gion of people who profess inability
to understand why the daily neWspa-

the gathering of the first item of news
to the coming of the completed pro-
duct from the press, only few hours
