BANDIT HOLDS Up
HOTEL At M|N0T
LONE ROBBER SECURES ALL
THE CASH IN THE OFFICE
OF HOSTELRY.

Minot, N. d.. April 6.-The Lex
ington hotel, owned by Olaf A..
Olson was the scene of a daring
robbery carly this morning when
lone bandit, armed with wicked
looking revolver sauntered into the
lobby of the hotel at $3.50 q. III.
stuck up the terrified clerk and
muchly scared colorcd porter. help
ed himself to the contents OF the
cash register, amounting to about
$36, took the clerks pocket book
containing 81. and a gold watch.
and then sauntered out again and
west toward tho viaduct. SO
smoothly and quietly was the per-
formance that no alarm was given
until the colored porter, who was
the first to recover from his fright.
frantically telephoned the police
for assistance. \ number of Off
GERS responded on the run. arriving
at the hotel not over four min
utes after the robbery but all traces
of the bandit had disappeared ano
although net was thrown about
the district, the mans whereabouts
still remain unknown.
Very little description could be
obtained from the clerk or porter
the former being frightened until
he could not talk but it seems the
mans face was black, either a ne
gro or else d white man in dis
guise. He worG dark overcoat
and striped trousers and seemed to
take tho job with Indifferent ease.
Several conjectures as to his
identity have been made by the au-
thorities, one officer seeming to
think it was possibly one of the
two bandits who robbed the Drake
railroad station night before last.
The police are working insiduously
on the case however. and some
clues may develop before many
hours.

sheet at time from the bottom of
the pile, prints it, and delivers the
sheets printed side up, at a speed
OF nearly 5000 per hour. In 9TH

Not alone in speed is the new
press wonderful. 1t turns out a
better quality Of work than was
possible with the ordinary job
press, and it's addition to our plant
means that our job department will
be far more efficient than print
ing plant could possibly be without
one of these machines. 1t will as
sist us materially in keeping up a
standard in high quality work.
The automatic is the last word
in high class job printing machin-
cry, and for that reason The Trib-
me had to have it. We want al
ways to give our customers the
best--both in service and quality
of work. We herewith print Il
splendid illustration of the Stand
ard Automatic Press, but even
that fails to give good conception
of the machine.
This press, which is the fastest
automatically fed job press made
today, is the first machine of it's
kind to be shipped into the state
of North Dakota. There are only
two such presses in Minnesota out
side of the Twin Cities and only
one in the state of South Dakota.

Of the details of a case that bears
the earmarks of mysterious and
brutal murder were gathered when
Sheriff Patrick Macy Of Valley

acting for tho Canadian authorities.
Macy was seeking a clue to one
Nolan alias Smith. through a trunk
that had been checked to Williston
from Nashua, Mont. The sheriff
found no trace here of either the
man or trunk.

ing on claim just over the Cana

ing one trunk to Williston. There
was blood in the bottom of the

coyote he had killed. One theory
was that the body had been ship
