ATTEMPT TO ROB
4 GRAFTON BANK

Grafton, N. d., March 25.-Just
who the intended robber was, or
who made this attempt. no one will
likely, ever know, but that some
cracksman had designs on the vault
of the Grafton National Bank is a
certainty.
On Thursday afternoon while
City Electrician Karl ]. Smith was
under the Grafton National. Bank
making preparations to connect up
wires for some new electric light
fixtures, he ran across some objects
Witch made him SIT 5tsp and :. take
notice The objects in question
were a pick axe, short crow bar,
large auger and a saw with teeth
on either side. Further examina-
ton disclosed the fact that immed-
lately under the door of the vault
an attempt had been made to work
a hole through the vault founda~
tion. =. The person who made the
eccrt had succeeder in going into
the founlation for the depth of two
bricks, making hole about two
feet by one. Whether something
occurred to scare the burglar off,
CI VI iStuct lie EdFN w IAS 'thoA eI'
= bad job is not known. But if
he had ever succeeded in getting
trough the foundation and attempt
ed to- bore hole through the vault
floor he would have started burg
lar alarm and called out a large
part of Grafton's population,
The handles of the saw and aug
er showed they had been perfectly
new tools, and the rust on the parts
indicated that they had not been
under the bank very many months
The saw had teeth filed on either
side, one for cutting wood, while
the other was intended for metal
work. The articles are being pre-
served for the minute inspection of
D. c.: Moore, who is at present en-
sjoying the sunshine of southern
California.

Boy Dies From
Kick Of Horse

Milnor, N. D., March 25.-Anoth-
er sad accident happened in this VI
cinity. This time the unfortunate
one was the little 7-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Aug. Johnson, resid-
ing some distance northeast of Mil
nor. Awaiting the homecoming
Of his father with interest the lit.
tie fellow was out in the yard and
close by the roadside when Mr..
Johnson arrived home. It was
shortly after darkness had COM
menced that this took place. Be-
ing very close to the road and it
being rather dark, it is thought
that one of the horses became
frightened at the little fellow and
kicked, striking him squarely in
the abdomen, rupturing the smalle,
intestine. The little fellow stated
70 the physician that a horee had
licked him. While no one saw
g act'y how the accident happe" ed
prominent symp' oms Of a rupture
intestine were evidenced by the VIC
lent vomiting of TIE lit'le bov su r.
stantiating his own story that he
was kicked BY a horse. The child
rested we'll during the night ard
about 10 o'clock the following &
morning said he was thirsty, got
up and walked to the kitchen and
drank water and also some milk.
About II o'clock he passed into a
stupor and died twenty minutes
later.

T.

= Bismarck, N. D., March 25.-
Some very interesting figures were
given out by. the livestock sanitary
board regarding the shipment of
dairy and breeding cattle into this
state within the las=. thirty days.
d A total of 2,179 dairy and breed
ing cattle came into the state with
the tuberculin test chart health GER
.tificate within the last thirty days.
4 Most of these cattle came from
the state Of. Minnesota and practi-
Ga1ly all of them went to the west
arn half of the state. Owing to
the foot and mouth disease and
the consequent. quarantine of many
Of the surrounding states lot of
cattle from Iowa and other states
cannot be shipped into North Da-
kota When the quarantine is
: raised these states will ship in
many cattle.
3 This certainly indicates boo m
in the cattle industry in North Da-
kota and there will be plenty of
room for more cream cries, it seems.

Dor, who lives near the Rouse home
Mr. Rouse took a revolver and fol-
lowed on horseback. Mr.. Hall was
not at home, and the place was in

daughter of the family. When Mr..
Rouse reached the Hall home and
