Thieves entered Mus & Co.'S store
at White Earth and took from the
safe nearly 5000 in cash. 1t appears
that they had come prepared with a
sack, as the charge slips, which were
lying on top Of the money in the safe,
we're found in a box car, evidently be-
ing the place where the money was
divided. Entrance was made by pry.
ing open the side window. Mr.. Muus
states that he is positive he locked
the safe before leaving the store,
which proves that the thieves were
adept at picking combinations.
The Misses Charlotte Elliott and
Hazel Miller narrowly escaped drown
ing when they were in bathing at Sen
tinel Butte Saturday. There were sew
eral other young ladies in the water
at the same time, ibut it seems that
these two were unlucky in having
their raft tip over with them. Meth
err could swim, but their cries for
help soon brought assistance and they
were saved. FrauZo Crawford was on
the job first and Harve Robinson and
Jack Field soon came and assisted
the girls to the shore. Both girls
sank twice before help came, so it
will be seer that they had a close
call.
The largest raid on record in Fargo
this year took place Monday after
noon when nine negroes, who have
been inhabiting the jungles near the
Great Northern railway bridge, over
the Red river, were rounded up by
members of the police department,
headed by Chief Troyer. Eight had
charges of gambling booked against
them and one was charged with va
grancy. The men, it is said, had been
employed as labCrers but recently
we're discharged. Since their dismis-
sal they made their headquarters in
the jungles, indulging intheir favor
tie notwithstanding craps and play
ing poker.%y Thew will answer to the
charges preferred against them before
Judge Roberts.
Sept.7, the sportsmen of North Da'
kota will be afield. Since the first OF
the month dogs have been in training,
there being two weeks additional this
year under the new state law for that
work, which did not formerly begin
until Aug. Is. With the exception OF
parts of Trail. Cass and Richland
counties where excessive rains des-
troyed the prairie chickens during the
Matching season, there is reported to
be a good sized crop of chickens and
grouse over the state. The birds are
reported by the dog trainers to be
fairly we'll developed. There has been
a rather light licensed sale, which is
regarded as peculiar in view Of the
prospects for good hunting in nine.
tenths OF the state. The game board
in the two past years carried on an
aggressive campaign and increased
the licenses sold about 35 per cent
over the former years. This year the
sales are considerable less to date,
but they may come strong between
now and the opening. j,
