LET EM FIGHT.

A few days ago--Oct. 4 to be exact millions of Americans sent up earnest prayers for peace.
 And the fight was resumed with re- doubled fury.
 And this inclines us believe that the best thing for America to do is to sit tight and let em fight it out.
 European nations are like a bunch of bull dogs turned loose in a pen. They will fight until one or the other is chewed up and soundly licked, and outsiders who attempt to interfere are likely to get bitten.
 America has done its duty.
 Let 'em fight.

NEGRO CONFESSED
Three R0BBER|ES
Harvest Hand Broke Into
Two Stores and Bank at
Ayr, N. D.

Fargo, n. D.. Sept. 16.-William
Arthur Ross, a negro who has been
working in the fields near Ayr as a
thresher and harvest hand for about
six weeks, was bound over to the dis
trict court by Judge Miller in justice
court after having made written
statement confessing to have broken
into two stores and the Ayr State bank
at Ayr.
While evidence pointed to Ross as
the guilty party 1t was not until he
was arrested by Marshal M. T. Dor
rance of Ayr on a charge of bootleg
ging it having been learned by the
sheriffs office here that he was i'm
porting large quanaity Of booze and
he was ordered taken. Marshal Dor
rance then dug up the evidence
against Ross that lead to his making a
clean breast of the rObberies. He will
probably be brought before Judge c.
A. Pollock in the district court as
soon as the jurst returns from his
vacation this week.
Ross states that he first entered the
store Of G. y. Hagen in Ayr, gaining
entrance to the building through a
window, and that once inside he took
Two boxes of cigars, flash light, some
pocket knives and some money in the
cash register. He says that he then
went to the Ayr butchershop where
he pried the door open and after get
ting In took some money from the
cash register.
Following these robberies the negro
then went to the bank where he at
tempted to get in by prying up a
window but failing in this he broke
a window and reaching in unlocked
the door. While looking about to see
what he could take he touched some-
thing that set off the burglar alarm
and he then ran to avoid being de-
tected.
Marshal Dorrance had been keep
ing an eye on the negro for some
time, it is stated. About a month
ago the residence of Mrs Donnohue
was entered and some things taken,
among them being a revolver. which
was later seen in the possession Of the
negro.
The evidence against the negro was
further strengthened by the fact that
an employe of blacksmith shop at
Ayr was returning on a motorcycle
from the country where he had been
repairing a separator This employe
arrived at the edge of town about the
time the burglar alarm was toucned
off and he caught glimpse of Ross
running for the country. The thresh-
ers with whom Ross worked also re-
ported that he was gone on the night
OF the hurglaries and did not return
until early the next morning. When
arrested for importing the liquor and
nelng confronted by this formida BILE
array of evidence against him. the
negro concluded that it was best to
confess to the crime and did so.

POSTOFFICE ROBBED
Postmaster Went Away Leaving Door
Omen for Customers

Bowman, N. D., Sept. 16.-Ranger.
a fourth class postoffice in Billings
county, supplied from Bowman, was
burglarized during the absence of
Postmaster Hubbard. and over $40 in
cash was taken.
MIR. Hubbard is the ranger in charge
of the national forest reserve and sue
ceeds Mrs. Sheriff as postmaster. At
times the postmaster is called away
from the office suddenly to attend to
his duties as forester and such seems
to have been the case when the rob-
berry was committed. and he had no
one to leave in charge of the office.
Not wishing to disappont any one
who came for their mail during his
absence, he left the door open. Unfor-
tunately he did not think to take care
of the cash. but left it in the till in
the postof1lce. When he got back tn
money was gone, but it is stated that
no stamps were taken,
