Three h0LD-UP
MEN MEET With
SPEEDY justice
Ready to Plead Guilty Before Court
and Take Sentence-Ohclals
Do Some Quick Work

The wheels of justice will speed up
like a buzz-saw for three men involved
in holdup on 500 freight train into
Darlington from the east Monday eve
ming. The three, with another who is
still at large, held up three other men
who were riding with them on flat
car on the freight train. From the
three 1921 was secured. The bandits
took a watch away from one OF the
men, gave it back, then took 1t again.
After taking what money they
could find on the three men, they were
thrown off the car while the train was
going rs miles an hour. Three shots
were fired after them so they would
lost no time in Catching their feet"
The victims reported the robbery to
the Darlington officials. Word was
sent to Harvey to arrest the men II
they arrived there on freight train:
Later that evening the Harvey chief
of police, together with special rail-
road detective, landed three Of the
four men in Jail. The detective found
the yellow streak in the roughnecks
and they acknowledged their guilt. An
other man arrested with them was re-
leased, as he was not in the deal. The
fourth and worst man got off the train
at Cathay and has not yet been found.
He is at Minot as he was to meet the
others there later this week to do some
more gun work.
Sheriff Morgan and Chief of Police
Konen went to Harvey Tuesday morn
and returned with the three men.
C. Kreuger, one of the men in the
county Jail, is a seasoned roughneck.
The other two men with him are but
vo1,ng fellows.

HELGESEN PREDICTS
REPUBLICAN VICTORY
Congressman Visiting in Minot Points
to Results in Maine-Tells Why
He Voted for Railroad Bill.

Hon. H. T. Helgesen, of Milton, N.
D., congressman from the First dis
trict, was in the city Monday visiting
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. w.
F. Doherty. Mr.. Helgesen was on his
way home from Washington and will
spend some time in the campaign. He
is the republican nominee again from
his district and will undoubtedly be
reelected.
Mr.. Helgesen refers to the repub-
lican victory in Maine as an indication
Of the way the election is going in No
vember. He said that Hughes had
been described as cold blooded indi-

vidual who was no campaigner, but
after the candidate had visited Maine,
he proved his vote getting qualities.
He says that New York and other
eastern states will go for Hughes and
the South for Wilson. This leaves the
battle ground in the middle western
and western states, where both parties
will put up hard fight.
Speaking Of the eight hour railroad
employees bill, Mr.. Helgesen says that
he voted for it. The president had de-
clared that this was the only thing
that would avert the strike and had
the strike occurred, people would ac-
tually have starved to death in many
of the large cities.

Gently bought III head Of full blooded

Mobilization of Abraham, who accord
ing to the old Aggadists, was no less
scrupulous in observing the feasts,
although they were proclaimed long
after his descendants lived. The law
is eternal and was known to the Pat
riarchs. Thus he kept the Passover
when the three angels came to visit
him and he offered them cakes for
food The days in which certain
events were to happen to the Israel
ties were established from the Crea-
ton for these miracles to happen on
them. There is no room for fortu-
tous condolences in a world ruled by
law, and therefore these days also
were marked out from the beginning
to be kept as festive days and seasons,
nor is there anything lost or Destroy
ed. One horn from the ram is the
Shofar heard on Mount Sinai and the
other horn will be used by the Mes
slah to gather in the outcasts and to
proclaim the message of final redemp-
ton. This is the great trumpet that
will be blown on that day. It is an
other profound symbolical idea. The
beginning and the end are Joined to-
gether and through the piety of Alb
raham and through his faithfulness
the final reward will be granted to his
descendants at the end of days.
10 determine what is meant by
Shofar was not an easy task, and still
greater to fix the number of sounds to
be blown. Their sequence and musi-
cal expression. The hundred
blessings which man is expected to
utter daily find their counterpart in
the hundred sounds blown on the Sho-
far on the New Years Day. The
sounds have been rescribed summarily
in Talmudic times. But there was no
musical notation, which is of a later
origin, or at any rate, the Jews of
olden times were not acquainted with
it. Tradition had to come to the res
cue, for it depended upon tradition to
determine the charcter of the sounds
to be produced by the Shofar, which
had taken the place of the trumpets,
mentioned in the Bible.
We have grown SO much accustom-
ed to the Shofar and it's intimate con-
nection with the New Years cere-
monies that it must come as shock
to anyone, who, following for the first
time the Karaite Ritual finds that
they have dispensed with the Shofar
altogether. They call the New Years
day the day of Teruah-of joyful
noise, and explain it to refer to the
harmonious shouts Of a festive gath
ering round the altar in Jerusalem.
The Jewish New Year will be on
Thursday and Friday, September IS
and 20. The Rev. DR.. A Wolf will
conduct the services at the Temple in
Minot.

Careless Hunters Started Prairie Fire

Hunting parties Should be careful
not to start prairie fires. Last Sun
day hunters 20 miles south of Minot
started prairie fire and then ran
away and left it. Had it not been for
other parties seeing it in time and
fighting the flames, miles of grazing
land would have been burned over and
thousands of tons of hay destroyed.
Just such carelessness as that is the
cause Of so much complaint of the
farmers against hunters and a little
care is all that is necessary to prevent
such happenings.
