DRADY MAN PRESENTED
WITH WATCH AT FAREWELL

Chas. J. Platt, a prominent farmer
who has resided in the vicinity of
brady for the past six years, and who
leaves next week for his farm at San
ish, where he will reside in the future,
was rendered a fattering farewell re-
ception at the Farmers Hall at brady
Wednesday evening, the affair being a
complete surprise to the genial Mr..
Plat.
A large number of the neighbors
and their families gathered and spent
a most enjoyable evening. An enjoy
able supper was served, after which
Harry Blom, on behalf of the assemb-
lage, presented Mr. Platt with a beau
tiful gold watch. The recipient re-
sponded as ably as he could under the
circumstances. '@
Mr.. Platt has been prominent in the
affairs of Burt township. He was
president of the farmers club for two
years and was the leader of the Plat
orchestra which has furnished music
for the various entertainments. Both
himself and family will be missed
from the community for they are held
in very high esteem.
Recently Mrs. Platt was rendered
surprise at her home by members of
the Unity Ladies' Aid, at which time
she received number of valuable ar
ticles.

WINTERS JfWELRY
STORE WAS ROBBED
sunday NIGHT
Bold Visitor Entered Place Sunday
Night by Crawling Over Transom-
Took $4OO in Valuables

One of the boldest robberies in the
history of Minot occurred sometime
during Sunday night when the Winters
Jewelry store, located on Main street,
opposite from the Leland hotel, was
entered from the transom over the
front door, the burglars getting away
with between $500 and $4OO worth Of
watches, mesh bags, pearl beads and
other valuables. There is absolutely
no clue to the bold fellows and to date
no trace has been found of any Of the
stolen goods. Several things, how
ever point to the work as being that
Of amateurs.
1t is probable that the work was
done by two and possibly three men.
A new front is being built in the store
and the door sets back several feet
from the walk. Shortly after mid
night one of the night policemen went
the rounds, turning off the lights in
the windows, but one remained in the
rear of the store and the place must
have been we'll lighted from the White
Way lights. The man who entered
either used the step ladder which rest
ed against the curb in front of the
store, or else he was lifted to the tran
som by his companion. The screws
were forced out of the hinges of the
transom and the burglar crawled over.
In getting in and out of the store he
went through the transom each time
and from the imprints made by his
exceedingly dirty hands on the door.
is it certain that the fellow possesses
hands Of abnormal size. Once inside
the store, he took his time to look
around. He boldly helped himself to
ten gold bracelet watches and several
mems watches which were in the dis
play window. He walked back into
the store and confscated ten or twelve
laces. Opening one of the show cases
he took mesh bag. He overlooked
the case full of silverware which, at
present prices, would have made 4
magnificent haul. The trays of rings
and much of the other expensive jew
elry had been locked in the big safe.
He tried to open the cash register but
failed. Any six-year-old boy could
easily have opened the register. He
opened the safe where valuables are
stored, but ran up against snag when
the heavy inside door failed to respond
to his gentle touch. He spent consid-
cradle time taking out the screws Of
the door only to find that his work was
all in vain, for nothing short of big
charge of explosive would open this
safe. This part of the work shows
that he was an amateur.
The following is list of the valu-
ables taken: "
Ten bracelet watches of the Hail.
mark, Mauran and Swiss makes, all
very small, some engraved and some
plain, all solid gold and gold filled.
One gold filled open face, IL size
Hallmark watch, Is jewels, 2O-year
case, and one gold filled IL size Swiss

PULLETs FOR PROFIT

Fall is the time to begin studying
the best ways to make more money by
the flock Of chickens on the
farm or poultry yard.
Pullets Matched in April and kept
growing during the summer, come in
to profit in the fall. They are the VIM
ter layers and by spring are in fine
condition for breeding. There is more
profit in the eggs from pullets than
there is in breeding them, as under a
year of age, there is not much stamina
to impart to the young.
The pullet must not be Matched too
early. March Matched pullets are like
ly to molt in the fall, with the old hens
and then they seldom begin laying be-
fore the hen does. This time is usual
ly some time in January. The fall lay
ing pullets come into profit just about
the time the old hens are molting, and
thus prevent shortage of eggs.

BUILDING YEAR.
NEXT YEAR BRIGHT
Many Immense Structures Erected at
Cost of Hundreds of Thousands
of DOllars-Six Foundations

This has been Minot's best building
year but next year bids fair to sur
pass the record. Last spring there
was but one basement to start work
upon, which had been completed the
fall before. Easements for seven large
buildings will be completed by the be-
ginning of the winter season and work
will start on these buildings early the
coming spring. Among the buildings
to be erected and for which the found
ations are now being built are the $685.
600 new high school building, the
Smart three-story block, the Eby &
Young garage, the new Mckinney
Fuller garage and the new Fauchald
block. These improvement will run
away into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Besides there are num-
ber of propositions that are being con-
sidered, and which will without ques-
tion go through. Among those who
will in all probability build are ]. w.
Rowan, a three-story block to replace
the one he now occupies on South Main
street; three-story block to replace
the one now owned and occupied by
the First International bank; mag
nificent new block, perhaps six stories,
to be built and occupied by the Second
National bank; an immense new ware
house to be built by the Hodgins
Transfer company; mammoth gar
age to be built and occupied by the
Minot Auto Co., and in addition a num-
ber of fiat buildings and three or four
hundred houses.
The Dwire flats, J. B. Reed Storage
house, the Epstein grocery block,
the Shaw-Brunner block, Anderson g.
story block, Peter Ehr 3-story block,
North American Storage Co. block,
are all under the course of construc-
ton, while the Moline Plow Co. build
ing, Blakey block, Roell block, Piper
Howe Office and warehouse, Ellison
apartments, Dakota Bakery business
block, A. Baker block have all been
completed. Large additions have been
built to the Minot Transfer building,
Winter Jewerly building, Minot Suit
and Cloak building and the Wolworth
building.
This year four hundred residences
have been built in our city, besides in
the neighborhood of a dozen large
business blocks, and several more are
now under course of construction 1t is
hard to keep "tab" on all of the i'm
provements. The buildings are all of
the most substantial kind and right
now busy Minot has the aspect Of
young Chicago.
