Madsen &. Bugge department store

other merchandise, about 5000

lids put back on the boxes and the
store left in perfect order. When
the empty boxes were found. this
was the first that it became known
that the store had been robbed.
Sheriff Nedreloe was notified and
he sent circulars broadcast over the
country, describing the goods that
were stolen. The shoes were easily
described as the sizes and the fac
tory numbers were learned from
the empty boxes.
A stranger giving his name as
X. E. davenport was arrested at
Des Laos by the town marshal Tues
day night and he is now In the
county. jail> He had on a pair of
new O'Donnell shoes. the same size
and same factory number as one of
the pairs stolen. He also had a
set Of burglar tools and burglar
keys that would fit most any door.
One of the keys had been recently
filed and this was taken to Foxholm
and the door was easily opened With
it. When asked wnere he had Sc
cured his new shoes, he stated that
If he told the officers they wouldn't
believe him anyway. but finally said
he had bought them in Portland,
Ore. It is believed that the man
arrested is one of the robbers but
he is an old experienced hand evi-

thing. ~
It is believed that there were
three robbers, as three men had
been. camping in the vicinity OF

C0TEAU TO HOLD BIG
RED CROSS MEETING

A big Red Cross meeting will be
held at Coteau, next Saturday even
ing at which Rev. Erickson of Minot
will be present to explain the OBJ
ject of the organization, what it
has accomplished In the past, and
what the world is expecting of it
during the present war. There
will be no admission charged, and
everybody is cordially invited to be
present. It seems that there are
a large number of people in this vi
cinity that do not understand the
object of the organization, and for
that reason it was thought advis-
able to have same fully explained
by speaker who fully understands
everything in connection with it..
The meeting will be held at the
Coteau hall, and everybody, no mat
ter where he resides, Ia requested
to be present. In connection with
the Red Cross meeting. there will
also be a big ->atriotic meeting, and
Rev, Erickson will talk some on
5natriotism. Rev. Erickson is noted
as one Of the most able speakers in
northwestern North Dakota, and i,
would pay anyone TO drive many
miles to hear him. The residents
of Coteau are doing everything in
their power to make this meeting a
big success and hope that they
might receive the cooperation of
all people residing anywhere near
at that time. Remember you
won't be charged anything for ad-
mission, and that you will hear
something good in return.

seen in the neighbornood just be-

When Sickle drove to the field to

opened fire upon h.m. The wind

cannot be hauled this fall, but
agrees to have all the work COM
pleted by July of next year. On
account of the lateness of the sea-
son the council was compelled to
pay a higher price than what the
work could have been done for ear
lier, and 1t is probably too late to
get all the work done until next
year. -
Mr.. Schultz of the Schultz Bros.

will be back on the streets ready to

His outfit works unusually fast,

TANKS CONTINUE
TO FRET GERMANS

British armored motor cars and gas
grenades evidently are giving consid.
cradle trouble and cause for worry to
the Germans on the western battle
front. notwithstanding the sighting
references to then I'M the official re-
ports, says despatch from Copen-
hagen. Lieut. Gen. Won Ardenne, the
new military expert of the Berlin
Tageblatt, who returned from a visit
OF Inspection to. the western front,
attributes the success of the British
In their opening drive at Arras on
April 8 largely to gas. shells, which
laid such curtain Of gas before the
German artillery that the gunners
were hampered oorely in their work.
He asserts, on the other hand, thar
the French suffered equally from the
German artillery's gas defense along
the Aisne a week later.
The gases. employed in the shells
have been improved steadily in eff
cacy, and German gas masks, al.
though preventing fatal results, do
not give complete protection to the
wearers, whose health and respira-
ton show. the effects when rapid
movements are necessary, as in serv-
ing guns.
Baron Won Ardenne says the British
tank is probably the most amazing
weapon which modern land warfare
has produced. He admits that they
have caused the Germans heavy
losses, particularly by their thanking
fire, though they are by no means in
vulnerable to the German artillery.
The baron asserts that the line Of
villages along which the Anglo-Ger-
man struggle is now raging lies IN
advance Of the main Hindenourg line,
and that consequently the eventual
loss Of these villages, including Bulle.
court, could not De deemed a decisive
event This admission indicates that
the Germans are reckoning on the
loss OF Avion, Oppy, Rceux, and other
towns In the further heavy fighting
which is coming along that sector
of the front.
As to the French battlefront, Baron
Won ArGenne says that the struggles
along the Chemin des Danes in othe.
wars would be called battles on &C.
count Of the number of men engaged
but in the present instance they are
merely skirmishes preliminary to a
gigantic engagement which is surely
coming.
