4 QUESTION FoR Mr.. FoRsEs
To Mr.. Joseph G. Forbes

Candidate for States Attorney:
have noticed with amusement
that in your paid political ad-
vertisements" contained in var
ious newspapers in Richland Co..
you hold yourself up as being a
great lawyer. and you intimate
that you are about the onlv man
who ought to hold the office of
States Atty. for this County. 1t
would seem that a man with the
standing you desire to Civ" your
self ought to be able to treat your
opponent with fairness at least.
and that one so great. would not
descend from the high plane upon
which you imagine you stand pro-
fessionally to gain the little office
of States Atty. by your methods.
A "big" lawyer ought to have d
sufficiently remunerative private
practice without public salary to
live on. But say. will you Just
please inform the people of Rich
land County of any great achieve
ment of yours in the law. or in
the trial Of cases in court which
have not been achieved by any
other country lawyer practicing in
the city OF WahpetOn?

ANOTHER BOLD
H0LD-UP ALLEGED
TO Have Occurred In This City
Early Last Saturday
Evening
MILWAUKEE DEPOT IS GIVEN
AZ the Place Where Two 8trana.
ers here Were Robbed
Of Won0V

A bold holdup was reported by
q couple of strangers at the Mil
waukee depot in this city at about
] o'clock last Saturday evening,
by a man and his son who claim
to have been painting at Moore
ton. and who were expected to
take the train here that might for
their home in Wisconsin. Their
story is as follows:
While waiting in the depot for
the return of the agent from sup
per two men. with the lower parts
of their faces covered. suddenly
confronted them with drawn re-
volvers and demanded their monev
and other valuables. After secur-
ing all they had which was Si5
from the boy and $45 and a
watch from the man. 81 each was
returned to therc with instruc-
tioms to use it getting home. The
robbers then marched them ahead
of them down the railway track
about $50 yards. when the men
who had held them up suddenly
disappeared in the darkness.
The man and boy who had been
robbed then came down town in
search of o policeman. and could
give only the following meagre
description of the men who held
them up: Both were young men
with dark suits and caps. and had
on blue overalls. One was about 5
#. 8 in in height and the other
about 5 #. Gin.
A thorough search of the vicin-
ity was made. but without avail.
and with only the meagro descrip-
tion of the men given them it is
barely possible that they may be
apDrehended. But it is doubtful
whether they could be identified.
even if captured. AS the men rob-
bed were left without means of
travel they returned to Mooreton
and resumed th":r work of paint
ing.

YBRDUN DOOMED
Is LATEST REPORT
The Outer Forts Of That French
Stronghold Reported
Fallen 1!
FROM MEUSE TO NORTH SEA
Great Battle Have Been Raging
and the Carnage Is
Appalling

The European war contir"os
with the armies almost in the
| same positions they were week
ago. The capture of Ostend. Bel
gium. by the Germans was fol-
lowed by their occupation of a
little of the coast country i'm the
northwestern part of that coun-
trv. but they were stOrned by the
Allies. who claim to have regain
ed small part of the territory
that Belgium had lost.
In the eastern theatre of war
Warsaw seems to be under state
of siege by the Germans and it
may be some time before anv de-
cisive battle is fought there. It
now seems likely that there will
be no very great advance Of either
the Allies or the Germans for
some time yet.
There is every indication that
the war may continue we'll into
next year. and it may even be
much longer than that before it
is over.
Verdun. the stronghold of the
Allies. is reported doo"od. Ber-
lin claims the outer forts have
fallen: The right wing of the
French army is endangered and
reenforcements are beir" rushed
to assist the French near Metz.
The Germans have been striking
some terrific blows all along the
line of the great battle front from
Meuse to the North Sea. The car
mage on both sides is said to be
something awful. The number Of
wounded now in France is esti-
mated at 100000.

4 FINE ENTERTAINMENT

1u0 uiSG ouG0rI6lum0nL OF Lne
new s. s. s. lecture course was
given at the opera house last
Thursday night by the Philhar-
monic Orchestra. and was rare
treat for all who heard it. Most
Of the selections were from the
classics. which are not usually ap-
preciated by everybody. yet the
rhythm and harmony of the var
ious instruments was so pleasing
that the audience listened almost
breathlessly. at times. and the
character of its responses ehow-
ed it's deep appreciation.
It is doubtful whether the ex-
cellence of this entertainment has
ever before been edualed in Wah-
peton. and President Smith is to
be congratulated on his ability to
secure it here. He certainly made
no mistake in his choice of a high
class entertainment for the first
number Of the years entertain
ment course.

INN0CENTS
GO ABROAD
Editor and His Wife Accompany
Mr.. and Mrs. Leach to
Fargo
TIE OILED RIVER ROAD
And Smoothly Paved Residence
Streets Add to Pleasures Of

It was one of the rarest of those
October mornings, which we all
enjoyed last week. when 0. A.
Leach took his wife and mother
for drive to Fargo and back. In
his fine 5-passenger Cadillac
there was room for two more. and
the Times man and his wife were
invited to go along.
We were ready early and 'piled
in" The roads, for most of the
way. were hard and smooth and
the car glided along at the rate of
rs or 80 miles an hour with,
scarcely Jolt and we enjoyed the
trip immensely. But not until we
struck the oiled river road" lead
ing from the Country Club" into
the city did we fully realize the
real joys Of an ideal October days
ride. From that point along the
winding road among the forest
trees into the city the road was as
smooth as glass and not a particle
of dust to mar the atmosphere.
Down Eighth St.. with its
beautiful modern residences we
passed. and in and out of several
other residence streets and ave-
nues. all smoothly paved we glid-
ed along while Mr.. Leach pointed
out to us dozen of the homes of
people whom we had heard OF
read of but had never met.
Finally we struck Broadway
with its rough paving blocks.
partly decayed and in a iiffy we
had turned into another street and
stopped at the famous Gardner
hotel. where the ladies of the par
ty left some of their wraps and
then everybody in the party struck
out for such parts of the city as
business or inclination severally
directed.
At 1890 we all met at the Gard
ner again. where we enjoyed fine
dinner and made the acquaintance
of our host and hostess. Mr.. and
Mrs. Gardner, and several other
parties more or less known to
Wahpeton people. In this connec-
tion we Just can't help recon-
mending this popular Fargo house
with it's splendid lobby. fine rooms
excellent menu and hospitable
host and hostess to other WahDe-
ton and Richland county people
when they are in Fargo. 1t is Just
across the street from the post
office and is easily found and
convenient to the business part of
the city.
About 4 O'Clock in the after
noon, we all met again at the
Gardner. ready for an auto trip
over the rest of the city. which,
of course. included the campus of
the State Agricultural College. and
after this we began vending our
way home again. which place we
EeaGhed Just in time ne to .e hear he the
house. and where another great
treat awaited us.
All in all. last Thursday was
one of the best days of a life time.
and Mr.. and Mrs. Leach have the
hearty thanks of the editor and
his wife for greatly enjoyed Oc-
tober trip to Fargo.

MYLO ADMITS
KILLING KARST
Makes Sworn Confession OF HE
Crime to lansfordsPoiioe
Officials
The PURPOSE WAS ROBBERY
Says He Got SIS from His Cloth.
Ing and Some JeWeIry for
His Deed

A Lansford dispatch says that
Joe Mylo and John Miller have
confessed to the murders of J. N.
karst Of breckenridge and II Sci
81: OF Calgary. Canada. near that
city about two weeks ago, the con.
1esSlOn being made public by the
police. ~
In a statement which Mylo has
sworn to before a notary public,
ne admits that he. himself. killed
karst. claiming that Miller dis
patched Seisl. when they set on
the two victims for the purpose
of robbery.
Miller, the police say. has made
no formal confession, but main.
tains that Mylo killed both men
and that heh ad no hand in the
actual murders.
The confessions bring to eli.
max one of the most ranid fire po-,
lice actions of the wear i'm this
state. karst and Seisl were pound
ed to death with rocks i'm the
hands of robbers who. their deed
complete. set out across country
to Granville. on the main line Of
the Great Northern. There thew
boarded a train for Minot. subse-
duently going to Fargo. An ex-
press package. which they had
previously sent from Lansford to
Fargo. furnished the means for
their capture, the men calling for
the package at Fargo and being
Immediately arrested.
In Mylo's formal statement of
the murders. he says he and Mil
ler went down the 500 track from
Lansford, about 9:3O on the night
of the murder. They arrested
karst and Seisl some distance
from the depot. and both showed
signs of fight. Armed with rocks,
Mylo says he and Miller jumped
on their victims. pounding them
numerically and leaving. as they
supposed both of the men dead.
Mylo says he obtained S55 from
Kast's clothing and some jewelry.
He says he does not know what
Miller obtained.
A negro working on farm
near Granville has identified the
prisoners as the men who sold
him watch which was taken from
Karst's body. There also is other
strong evidence against the pair
in addition to Mylo's own state
ment of the crime.

ONLY 80 TO 3
TELLS THE STORY
That's the Way Wahp eton Beat
Valley City at Football last
Saturday
WAHPET0N HIGH DEFEATED
indians Make q Few Scores at
laoorhead But Oct Badly
Walioped

The S. S. S. won the football
game from Valley CITY last Sat-
urday by a score of only 80 to 3,
missing only one goal and a punt
out from the goal line. The locals
played good football. but their ov-
erwhelming victory was due to the
playing Of the visitors.
The play on both sides was of
straight formations and the use
of the forward pass. Except the
pass hardly any other open play
was attempted. By che use of a
fake kick and fake forward and a
delayed pass. WahpetOn scored at
will. and Outclassed her opponent
in every department of the game.
The Times has a lot of COPY
criticising Valley City's playing,
but what's the use to publish it I?
The score itself tells the story.
Next Saturday Fargo College plays
Wahpeton here and it will be a
game worth seeing. The lineup

Falls and during the present winter
they have had over forty meetings.
These clubs have done splendid work
this winter and will doubtless con-
tinue to do so in the future.
John L. McCague, of Omaha, Neb.,
president of the Water Power com
pany Of this city, spoke about the
Commercial club in Omaha, of which
he is president, saying that they held
regular get-together dinners which
the business men should cooperate
with the farmers of Morrison county
and that if this was done there would
be no need to look elsewhere for sup
port. If the people here would take
Advantage Of the resources Of the city
it would have a population Of at least
10000 by 1920.
1t was suggested that the ladies be
invited to the next banquet and that
Josephine Schain, of Minneapolis, be
secured to make an address at that
time. Secretary Willard stated that
thermometer about Is feet high, will
be put on the Kiewel building, which
will register the number Of members
