FORCED 70 JUMP FROM
TRAIN AFTER ROBBERY

Grand Forks, Aug. 25.--Two harvest
hands, boarding the Great Northern
freight train at Hillsboro bound for
Grand Forks shortly after midnight,
were forced to leap from the moving
cars after they had been relieved Of
their money and valuables, according
to the story told by the two men who
arrived here. The men claim that
they attempted to steal ride to this
city from Hillsboro, and had only
been on the freight short time when
they were forced to hand over their
money, watches, rings and other arti-
cles OF minor value.
The two bandits were on the train
with several other men, but 1t is not
known whether or not any others were
made victims. The harvest hands re-
turned to Hillsboro where they made
complaint to the authorities and pro-
ceeded to this city. It is believed
that the gunner remained on the
freight until it reached this city, but
efforts to locate them here have been
futile. 1t is now believed that they
have journeyed west.
The holdup was carried out on a
plan similar to the robbery Of few
weeks ago when nearly so men were
victimized by alleged l. w. w. organ
izers. A search by the Grand Forks
police have failed to bring to light any
clues that may result in their appre-
henslOn.

ARM OF LAW Is LONG

La Moure, Aug. 24.-An interesting
example of the working of the long
arm of the law, was seen recently in
the apprehension in LaMoure county
of trio of INSIDERS, whose exploit
was staged way down in Iowa.
On Thursday night at Alfred, Sheriff
Powers, assisted by Deputy Sheriff
Crist, arrested A. A. Sangston, Floyd
Kimball and F. v. Stevenson, all form
erly Of Garner, Iowa, for alleged theft
of an auto July Is. Letters received
from the three young men, who had
left Garner coincidently with the dis.
appearance Of the auto, aroused the
suspicion of the authorities, and they
sent descriptions of the suspected
men to Sheriff Powers with instruc.
tions to arrest. Extradition papers
were sent for and the three men were
taken back to Garner to answer the
charge.

When over the fair fame of friend or

The shadow of disgrace shall fall,

Even the cheek of shame with tears

If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn

In words of sympathy; no soul so

But may awaken strong and gloriied,

And by the cross on which the

And by your own souls hope for fair

You simply shut your eyes and wan.

and dressed,
And breakfast cooked-it really is sur
prising,
But mothers never seem to need q

The lunches must be packed and jack

And everybody soothed and sent to

To say that mother rushes is UNI

She's nothing more to manage, as.
q rule.
Unless it is to finish piles of sewing,
And cook and wash and iron and
scrub and sweep.
To order food and keep the furnace
going
And then perhaps to hide herself
and weep!
And when at last she's tucked them
under covers,
And seen to doors that dads forgot
to lock,
Triumphantly, at midnight, she dis
covers
She's nothing more to do till six
O'clock!

THE MILITIA

It may be that they haven't ever seen
q battlefield,
And they've never heard the scream
ing of shell,
They've never thrown up trenches as
a temporary shield,
Nor helped wounded brother when
he fell;
But they've donned their suits of khaki
and their dusty blankets rolls,
And they're marching to the border
feeling flt;
The good old Yankee spirit is now
flaming in their souls
And their youthful breasts are full
Of Yankee grit. ~.
They are sons of men and women who
have taught them to be true,
There's an ancestry of valor in their
veins;
They are followers of the heroes who
once marched and fought in blue,
They are children Of the manhood
building plains.
They have heard the call to duty and
they rushed to answer it,
Now they're marching to the border
for the Flag;
And the swinging step they're taking
shows their good old Yankee
grit,
And there isn't one among 'en that
will lag. "
Oh, it may be they're not finished in
the school of fighting arts,
And the regulars may beat 'em at a
drill;
But the good old Yankee courage now
is throbbing in their hearts,
And you bet they'll do their duty
with a will .9g,
And along the Texan border where the
cunning foeman preys
You will find them with the good ole
Yankee grit;
They may seem a little awkward in
their military ways,
But they've got the sort of pluck tha
does not quit.

COMING BACK HOME

Through the gateway, down the foot
path,
Through the lilacs by the way,
To the clover by the meadow
Where the gentle homelights stray;
To the wide world of ambition,
Up the toilsome hill of fame,
Winning oft a mighty triumph,
Winning oft noble name.
Coming back all worn and weary,
Weary with the worlds cold breath;
Coming to the dear old homestead,
Coming in to age and death.
Weary Of it's empty fattery,
Weary Of its ceaseless din,
Weary of its heartless sneering,
Coming from the bleak world in.
Going out with hopes OF glory,
Coming in with sorrows dark;
Going out with sails all flying,
Coming in with mastless bark.
Restless stream Of pilgrims striving
Wreaths Of fame and love to win,
From the, doorways Of the homestead
Going out and coming In
Unknown.
