bargain was made then and there.
Seller Hurried Away.
The seller took the cash and hur-
ried away. In the meantime the
rightful owner of the horse, Chris
Johnson, living nine miles south of
Bird Island, had received information
of the stranger selling the horse at
New Ulm. The horse had been stolen
from his barn Sunday night, and he
hurried to New Ulm, where he iden-
tilted the animal.
The news that a horsethief was
wanted spread rapidly through the
country surrounding New Ulm. Yes
terday afternoon some farmers on
the other side of the Minnesota riv-
er from New Ulm observed a strang-
er and were suspicious of him. They
telephoned to New Ulm. Some Of
ficers went after the man in an
auto, and he was captured in corn
shock on the farm of Henry Brink
meier, three miles from New Ulm.
Placed In Jail.
The accused was brought back tC
New Ulm and placed in Jail. There
he was seen by newspaper report
er, but he stubbornly refused tc
talk. In one of his pockets was found
a bottle of whiskey. This seems tt
account for the disappearance of {
little of the money he had received
for the horse.
Sam Warner, deputy sheriff O
Renville county, came later and tool
the man to the Jail at Olivia, which
is not far from Bird Island.

in entering Belgium was purely a
strategic military operation, careful
ly planned long in advance, and
without the slightest justification of
being a defensive move against
French designs Against that, our
king and government took the only
path open to them-the path of honor.
There was nothing remaining but TO
defend our freedom, sword in hand,
at the price of the nations best blood
"a freedom that the Germans, after
defeating France, would have with
held from us all the more scoTnful-
ly had we been weak enough to lis
ten to them and cowardly enough to
obey them.
But Belgium will have her COM
pensations when her complete indie
pendence and freedom are estab
lished as part of the peace settle
ment and an adequate indemnity has
been provided for her and the time
of reckoning is fast approaching.
Rumania is the latest to speak and
cast the weight of her influence and
power in the balance on the side of
the allies. Belgium has shaped her
course, and with the powerful sup
port of her allies-England, France,
Russia, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Serb
ia, and now Rumania-she will sus-
tain her part of the burden of war
to the very end. Belgium will come
back to her own, in her place in the
sun, and to complete freedom and
independence"

BRAVE ACT OF TRAIN
HEAD SAVED A LIFE
Conductor Jorgenson of the Milwau-
kee Road Comes in For Much De-
served Newspaper Praise.
from Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Fairmont Independent: Brakeman
E. w. ellison who lost his arm and
sustained other serious injuries in
the Milwaukee yards, in Fairmont
Thursday evening, is reported as i'm
proving, and it is now believed that
he will recover He is being cared for
at the Fairmont hospital.
At the time of the accident, Con-
ductor Jorgenson, who was in charge
of the train proved himself a man of
quick presence OF mind and hero
risking his life to save that of his
fellow employe.
AS stated in our last issue, Gill
son was walking between two cars
repairing leak in the hose of the
air brake when, his foot got caught
and he fell under the car, with one
arm extended over the rail.
Conductor Jorgenson noticed the
accident. He first rushed to the side
of ellison who was lying beneath the
moving train, and he instantly placed
the arm which the wheel had crushed
over inside the rail and commanded
ellison to lay low and still until the
train stopped.
He then rushed in between two
moving freight cars and extended his
arm beneath the coupling appliances
and then from the further side
with almost superhuman strength
jerked an iron plug which was held
in place by compressed air, at 6
pressure of seventy pounds per- square
inch. By doing SO the train came tC
la stop, the instant the plug was
pulled out.
Only those who realized the dang
erous position he had to assume, and
the strength he had to exert as he
walked between the moving cars car
appreciate the great risk he assumed
in his effort to stop the train as
quickly as possible.
