CROOKS AT HANNAFORD
PLANNED MANY CRIMES

Hannaford, N. D, Aug. 11.-"We
were planning to get a supply of guns
and ammunition here, and then pull
off a bunch of jobs in the eastern
part of the state
This is the statement alleged by the
Grfggs county officials to have been
made by John Doe" who is being
held as the result of the robbery of
the Arronstad Bros. & Brosep hard
ware store here last Friday night.
The man who is being held refuses
to give his name. The police believe
that lie had two accomplices in the
robbery of the hardware store. These
are still at large.
Entrance to the store was gained
by saving out a panel in the rear
door. The robbers secured several
guns and revolvers, a supply OF am
munition and $40 in cash.
The authorities say that the in5
cognito gentleman who is being held
admits his wv share in the robbery
but refuses to give any information
regarding his companions.
He has stated that the gang was
planning to pull off a number of other
robberies in the eastern part of the
state, and committed the crime at
Hannaford merely to obtain the guns
and ammunition which they wished
to assist them in their plans.
Doe" will be given a hearing in
the course of the next few days, ac-
cording to States Atty. Benjamin

and does not expect to cut the re-
rnainder.
Much grain will be shrunken but
will make good, wholesome flour. al
though it will take more of 1t. 1t will
be a hard job to get all the shrunken
grain from the heads.
Parties from along the Pingree-
Wilton line and the Turtle Lake
branch report but little damage done
to grain in that part of the state.
Whether less rainfall had anything
to do with 1t or not is a question.
Along the Esmond branch condi-
tons are poor, mainly owing to lack
of rain In the early part of the sea
son 1t is probable that there will
be a good deal of good grain in the
western part of the state, also in por-
lions of the northern part. West Of
Minot the conditions are reported
much better than east. The Red river

RAMSEY COUNTY JAIL

Dora, alleged check forger, just reach
ed Doyon, this county in his flight
Sunday, when he was captured by Ted
Moore, village marshal, and now Dora
is held in the Ramsey county Jail. An
interesting chapter Of the story is
furnished by Chief Timboe, sturdy
custodian of peace in Devils Lake, who
made pursuit on a bicycle, ~endeavor-
ing to catch a freight train which had
started east. The husky chief didn't
find a road that was convenient so he
raced on his bike down the center of
the railway track. On confirming his
belief that Dora was on the train in
question, he returned to Devils Lake
and notified the Doyon officer.
Dora forged the name of the Mercy
hospital to a check made out to Jens
Ringbird. Both men had worked at
the hospital, having money coming.
Dora had cashed his check and steal
ing his fellow laborer's, which was for
$33 he journeyed to M. Glickson's store
and after purchasing some goods
rendered the check.
The real owner of the check soon
discovered his loss and but a com
paratively short time elapsed before he
met dickson and sought advice on the
procedure to take in case a check vas
lost. Then it all came to light. Tho
| check had been stolen and forged. The
J police were notified. dickson is out
! the money and Dora is reported rest
ing easily in Jail.

sale Or MEDICINE
| STOPS AMONG INDIANS

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 1.-THE
sale of patent medicines of such a
character as to produce drunkenness
among Indians is going to be stopped
by the Indian department. In what,
among Indian agents, is considered the
most important prosecution in recent
years, doc" Underwood of Poplar,
Mont, was last week convicted in the
federal court at Great Falls before
u. S. Judge B%orquin. Sixty days in
Jail and a fine and costs amounting to
over $1,000 was the sentence Of the
court.
In that the head of a big eastern
drug house, with specialists, was on
the ground to defend his product
against the charge that it was prepar-
ed as a beverage, labeled "bitters" and
various Compounds"
Lieut.. N. A. Way of this city prose-
cuted the Underwood case as special
agent of the Indian department. For
mer Governor Norris of Montana rep
resented the defense. The victory was
complete for the government and is
considered a long step in tn house
cleaning at various Indian points
where an appalling condition has re-
suited from the sale of dope" to In
dams. Unable to secure whisky al
some points the reds have taken to
extracts and patent medicines to such
an extent as to make the condition
serious.
Underwood, the defendant in the
Montana case, was formerly located
at Sarles, N. D.

HANNA AT
i JAMESTOWN

jamestown Alert: Saturday evening
about Sis, Gov. L. B. Hanna arrived
from the east on Northern Pacific
train No. 1 en- route to Bismarck, and,
although the notice was short. a large
crowd was assembled at the station to
give the governor a cordial welcome
on his return from Europe. President
Nierling introduced the governor at
the station.
Governor Hanna made a short ad-
dress expressing his appreciation or
the unexpected reception at this place,
and also giving a sketch of his trip to
Norway and Europe. He stated that
he a been in Germany, France and
Belgium just previous to sailing for
America and there were no evidences
at that time of the great European
war brought into existence in so short
a time. Even in times Of peace in
most European countries, said the
governor, the presence Of soldiers n
military officials Is always to be seen
on the streets of the towns and cities.
This is c~oncrasted greatly with the
United States, where the military
! spirit has not yet reached such a height
as in European countries. Governor
Hanna declared that when this Euro
pean war is settled the burdens Of
: taxation on the people of those coun-
: tries already in times Of
peace, will be much greater to pay the
cost of the present war; and he pre-
! dicted that there would be q great
immigration to other countries by res
idents of Europe who will endeavor TO
/ escape the burdens of taxation which
will be piled upon them.
The train remained but a short time
in the city and the governors visit
was necessarily brief but the Informal
reception was exceedingly pleasant.
The city band enlivened the occasion
with welcoming music.
Governor Hanna also had a more
extended reception at Valley City. He
arrived in that place from Fargo at
lp. m. by automobile and was escorted
to the state normal school,, where he
spoke in the auditorium, after which
there was a dinner in the dormitory,
He left for Jamestown at 1922 p. m,
The students at the summer school
! aided in giving the governor y warm
l~TeceptiOn.

| shot A HOBO

jamestown, N. D., Aug. II. - A
number of transients and harvest
hands attempted to ride on a North
ern Pacific train east of the city and,
when near the top of the hill, a bunch
of men were put off or left the train.
After they had done so, it is claimed
that Brakeman Hatch fired at the
men with a revolver and one of them,
G. l.. Miller, was struck in the leg.
The ball went through the fleshy por-
ton of the right leg. The man was
taken to the Midland hotel, where his
injury was dressed by DR.. Wood. He
claims to be from Iowa and his story
is that the brakeman wanted to COL
lect % cents from him for the ride,
which he did not have and, after leav-
ing the train, the shot was fired as
above stated.
Brakeman Hatch win probably be
given a hearing on the charge of as

BEAVERS VERSUS

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 1.-The people
of Mandan are specializing whether
the beaver will be better engineers
than those in charge of that work for
the state. The state a repeatedly
attempted to dam the Heart river
without success. Just below the old
footbridge on the Heart the beaver
have feled three trees, one on che side
and two on the other, with which they
are making the foundations for a dam
at that point. The residents are watch
ing the protest and some of them are
willing to wager the beaver will be
able to do a better job than the state
has so far been able to accomplish.

CARELESS SHOOTING BY
BOYS AT VALLEY CITY

Valley City, N. d., Aug. 11.-Much
careless shooting has been reported
about the city during the past few
weeks. A window was broken in the
house Of Professor James by a stray
bullet, Claire Taylor was hit in the
hand by a stray bullet and John Skret-
ting, while driving his oil wagon, was
struck in the back by a spent ball.
This is absolutely a piece of careless
ness and undoubtedly is the work of
Ismall boys. Parents should be careful
in permitting their small boys to
handle 22's, but If they are of the opin-
ion their boys are large enough to
handle firearms they should at least
caution them as to shooting about the
city. 1t would be well for the city po-
lice officers to keep an eye out for
the careless shooters and an accident
may be averted.
