llinot Auto Driver Is
Struck by 6. N. Train

Minot, Sept. 15.-John Edwards, a
young man % years old, was probably
fatally injured last night about 1890
o'clock when the automobile which he
was driving was struck by a Great
Northern switch engine at the point
where the road crosses Second street
N. E. The victim has been uncon-
scious ever since the accident and
nothing of the details or the extent
of his injuries except those which can
be seen, are obtainable. There are
some surface wounds about the head
and one ear is rather badly cut, but
there is no fracture of the skull and
no limbs are broken. He probably is
suffering from confusion of the brain.
There is double elbow in the street
at this point so that the crossing can
not be seen for any distance on either
side. The Great Northern maintains
no Waterman at the crossing and the
gates are never lowered to prevent &C.
cidents at night. The switch engine
was going west and portions of the
wrecked automobile were carried a
hundred feet west.
About two months ago Edwards
came to the city and secured employ
ment as livery driver, and has been
engaged in that work ever since. Those
who knew him state that he was a
careful driver and, coming from the
country was cautious to a marked de-
gree.

Holdup on 500 Train;
Gunner Are Captured

Darlington, Sept. 14.-Coming into
Darlington from the east Monday eve
ming, three men with another who is
still at large, held up three other men
who were riding with them on fiat
car on the freight train. From the
three 1921 was secured. The bandits
took watch away from one of the
men, gave it back, then took it 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
lose no time catching their feet"
The victims reported the robbery
to the Darlington officials. Word was
sent to Harvey to arrest the men if
they arrived there on freight train.
Later that evening the Harvey chief
of police, together with a special rail
road detective, landed three of the
four men in JAIL Another man arrest
ed with them was released, 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
ing and returned that evening with
the three men. G. Kruger, one of the
men, is a seasoned roughneck. The
other two men with him are young
fellows.

North Dakota Troops
Entertained Teachers

Mercedes, Texas, Sept. 8, (by mail.)
It has been week of excitement. 1t
might almost be called a week Of
social gayeties for the North Dakota
regiment. The school teachers of HI
dalgo county, Texas, $50 strong, have
held their county institute here, and
the North Dakota men have been their
hosts.
The 1000 men at Llano Grande
also did their best to pose as hosts to
the pretty educators, but with three
miles distance between them and the
institute, and drills and hikes and
camp regulations interfering, they did
not have half the chance of the Dako.
tans.
Major F. S. Henry and Captain A.
B. WEIGH were appointed as masters
of entertainment, and a regimental
parade and formal guard mount were
among the features which drew the
battalion of school ma'ams" to the
Dakota drill field. The school teachers
cheered soldiers and the North Da.
kotans cheered the teachers.
Mercedes hotel and boarding houses
were overlooking with officers famil-
les when the teachers arrived and
most of them had to go to other towns
each evening. 1t was at first suggest
ed that camps be pitched and that
the teachers live chautauqua fashion.
But the teachers said their camp might
be mistaken for feminine Plattsburg,
and that tents seven miles from the
Mexican border in these times of un-
certainty might be something very diff
ferent from a chautauQua.
Dozens Of the school teachers re-
ceived invitations to mess with the
North Dakotans. The domestic sci
ence teachers inspected the mess
sheds, and exclaimed in admiration
when they learned that beans were
served in at least six ways and that
the coffee had cream it it,, and
that jam forms an important part in a
soldiers menu.
The North Dakota regiment is hope
full that some of it's companies may
soon get a chance at patrol service
after the luck of Companies A and B
of the First Minnesota regiment, and
A and B of the First Indiana, who will
relieve the Minnesota men at four
nearby stations on the Rio Grande.
Lieutenant Colonel Grafton Of
Fargo, in command of the regiment
during Colonel FRAMES absence, is
confident that his men are fully ready
for patrol work on the border. They
are as fine body of guards as you
will see in the Lower Valley.
The rumor germ that the guards will
go home at once is just as busy in the
North Dakota company streets as at
Llano Grande.

SEEKING NEW
p. o. SITE AT JAMESTOWN

jamestown Alert: A rumor without
verihcation is current in the city that
the federal post Office site, on Fifth
avenue south, may be sold by the gov
eminent and bids solicited for another
location for post office building. 1t
is rumored that the reason for this re-
ported action is that with the construc-
ton of the new Northern Pacific depot
and the relocation of the Midland de-
pot the distance between those stations
and the post office site would not
come within the limit in which the rail-
road companies are required by law to
transport the city mails free to and
from the station and the post office,
consequently the government would be
obliged to pay for such transportation.
To avoid this a new site, closer to the
railroad stations, is reported to be
wanted.

County Agents Will
Explain Farm Loans

County agents will aid farmers in
organizing to obtain the benefits of
federal farm loan banks, in the opin-
ion of Director Thomas Cooper of the
North Dakota Experiment station.
The act which creates the federal
land banks, provides that the depart
ment of agriculture shall assist the
federal farm loan board in disseminate
ing information relative to the act and
shall aid in instructing farmers how to
organize and conduct farm loan asso-
Citations. The county agents are joint
employees of the federal department of
agriculture, the state agricultural COL
lege, and the county employing them.
Mr.. Cooper interprets this section of
the act to mean that it will eventually
become the duty of the county agents,
who are the local representatives of
the United States department of agri-
culture, to instruct farmers in the Or
ganizing and conducting of the farm
loan associations.
A general field meeting of county
agents will be held in the near future
at which time instructions will be CIV
en- relative to the different features of
the law and the steps that it will be
necessary to take in the establishment
of local loan associations. It may be
that the county agents, as federal EN-.
ployes, will become the principal local
agencies whereby the federal farm
loan board will maintain direct con-
tact with the farmers of the state.
The fact that county employs a coun-
ty agent may mean great deal to
farmers who wish to take advantage of
the provisions of this law. Heretofore
a county agent has been employed
chiefly, calling attention to the funda-
mental principle of good agriculture
in the state, in order, to bring about
more profitable methods of farming.
This new activity is a very natural
development of this sphere of the
county agent, and in this new work
the county agents will render the far
mers of their county an important
service. Each agent has been sup
piled with copies of the law and brief
preliminary statement of it's applica-
ton. In addition he has been instruct
ed to give farmers all possible infor-
nation relative to this act.
