Active Burglar Captured
by King and Mclsaacs

The Wardrobe clothing store was
The scene of a thrilling burglary early
Wednesday, April S. At about 2:30
=. m. Officers King and McIsaacs found
Abe window raised in the basement Of
the Wardrobe clothing store and start
ID an investigation. They were soon
convinced that someone was inside
the store and arranged to effect the
capture of the prowler. While Nc
haacs guarded the window to prevent
escape from that quarter, King en-
tered by the rear door which had
been unlocked by the intruder. Just
inside the rear door is short counter,
alongside which the burglar was hur'
riedly working to put pile of cloth
ing into a suit case and three large
telescopes which he had selected from
the stock The officer entered noise
Iessly and when inside he drew his
revolver, turned on his flash light and
ordered the man to surrender. The
burglar had laid his 38-caliber re-
yoIver on the counter, but when sur
prised by the officer he was not near
enough to the weapon to get it in
time to save himself, and gave him
self up.
Before the man was taken he had
gathered together clothing, underwear,
socks, shirts, and miscellaneous col
lection Of the best there was in the
store, and was busily packing when
interrupted. In all the value of what
ne had collected amounted to $3.50 or
$500.
The work of the Valley City officers
In making this capture is highly COM
nlendable. This class Of criminals
are extremely dangerous, and an off,
Ter takes his life in his hands when
ever he undertakes to arrest a burg
lar. That these officers should per-
form their duty without hesitation
speaks we'll for the courage and eff.
cheney Of the men, and is a source OF
pride and satisfaction to the citizens
Of Valley City and the whole COM
Munity.

WHAT CATARRH IS

It has been said that every third

Science has shown that nasal catarrh

To correct catarrh you should treat its

0bservedC. Golden
Anniversary Thursday


lar meeting of the w. R. c.. notice
was read from national headquarters,
that on April 6, 1916, occurred tho
golden anniversary Of the G. A. R.
and that the Woman's Relief Corps all
over the land were requested to do
something to celebrate the occasion.
On such short notice it was hard to
decide just what could be done. The
ladies present decided on a good old
fashioned chicken pie supper for the
members of the G. A. r. post and
their wives, to be held at the home of
Comrade and Mrs. A. J. Batchelder.
So on Thursday evening at $50 the
golden anniversary supper was held.
The rooms were beautifully decorat-
ed with flags and red, white and blue,
among the decorations being the can
teen carried by Mr.. Bachelor during
the war. At one end of the dining
room was hung the John A. Logan
quilt, a beautiful silk quilt made by
some of the ladies of the w. R. C. in
the early days. Red and white form
ed center piece for the dining table
and at each end pyramid of oranges
represented cannon balls. After the
supper was served, which consisted of
all the good things that go with an old.
fashioned chicken pie supper, Mrs.
Henry Nelson, the corps president,
called on several of those present to
give some of the early history of post
and corps. Mr.. Weiser was the first
called on to give history of the or
ganization of Josiah S. Weiser Post
(named for Mr.. Weiser's brother)
which was organized about 80 years
ago in the building now used by the
Valley City Marble Works, later NOV
ing into the old G.. A. r. hall over Mr..
Weiser's store and later to their pres
ent hall in the basement of the Ar.
mory. Mr.. Weiser also told of many
of the good times had in the early
days. Mrs. Tracy gave the carly his
tory of the w. R. C. and some of the
work done by them. Mrs. Tracy and
Mrs. Batchelder were the only charter
members present. Mrs. Wylie Nelson
told Of the social side of the corps
work, telling of the social good times
that were had, it being kind of
community center where every one
went to have a good time. Mrs. Rem.
ner told of the work of selling tickets
on the John A. Logan quilt to raise
money to furnish the G. A. R. hall, she
making several trips to Fargo to sell
the tickets. Mrs. Henry read an arti-
Gle written by Secretary of State John
Hay, how the G. A. R. was different
from all other organizations, no one
having money enough to pay an en-
trance fee to this organization. Only
by a discharge from the Civil war
could any one enter this organization
Mr.. Batchelder gave very interesting
talk on the battle of Winchester and
Mr.. Henry sang "They Grated Him
Into the Army" after which all join
ed in singing war songs and having a
general good time.
At late hour the guests departed
for their homes, every one present
feeling it had been an evening we'll
spent in reviewing the early history
of this post and being in the company
of the comrades of the noble organiza-
ton of the Grand Army of the Republic.
