H0[DUP MEN
ply TRADE

The fact that gang Of holdup ar
lists are operating in this section of
the state has been the supposition for
some time past, but circumstances the
past week have brought to light the
real facts. Last Friday night Sheriff
Olsen was routed out of bed at mid
night by a phone call from Grand
Harbor asking him to come as soon as
possible as two strangers had been
robbed on freight coming into Devils
Lake from the west. On arriving at
that place 30 minutes later he found
middle aged man and an 18-year-old
boy, the latter claiming the state of
Michigan as his home, who told him
that they had boarded the freight at
Leeds after finishing their work in the
harvest fields at that place, and were
coming to Devils Lake in search of
further employment. They were in a
box car and when a short distance out
of Leeds two fellows entered the car
and commanded them to throw up
their hands. The robbers were we'll
disguised and wore handkerchiefs ov-
er their faces. They lined their VIC
tins against the wall of the car and
made a complete search of their pe,-
sons, taking everything of value but
returned to each one the loose change,
keeping the bills. The old man had
about $50 while the boy who had
only worked couple of days, had but
SO. AS the train slowed down near
Grand Harbor the evictims were kicked
og the car and as the old man was
scrutinizing the holdups a little too
closely to suit them, he was tsruck
across the head with large automat-
ic revolver in the. hands of one of the
robbers, which cut a deep cash across
the side of his bead. They were then
chased through barb wire fence
which tore some holes in the Younger
mans face, anu out into wheat field
so that they could be kept away from
the train until 1t had gained headway
Again Saturday night two young
fellows coming into the city on train
from the east were held up in cattle
car and relieved of their valuahles
after which they were kicked al,
cuffed almost into insensibility by the
larger one of the two hold-ups who
seemed to have mania for maltreat,
ing his victims on no pretext whatev.
er..
The very fact that the nights of the
past week have been exceptionally
dark has made it extremely difficult
for the victims to get any kind or t
description of the artists, has made il
well nigh impossible for authorities
to get any clue of the guilty parties
\ It has been established, however, thai
the gang that worked here is the same
one that held up fifteen men in barn
at Bisbee the week before and relieved
them of several hundred dollars.

PASSES THE.
AVIATION
EXAMINATION

Carmie Thompson returned Sunday
evening from Omaha, Neb., where he
went a week before to take the exam
ination for the aerial service of the
United States Army. It will be graft
flying to his many friends to learn that
he successfully passed the examiiaa-
ton which is most rigid. His enlist
ment papers will be sent to him from
Washington in the very near future,
but his call to report is not expected
for about month. In the meantime,
.Carmie expects to work in this viclnl-
ty, to get "stake" to tide him over
until his first pay day. The pay in
this branch of the service is very good,
being $4,000 per year.
He tells us that bad he known how
strict the examinations were he would
never have gone, as only about ten per
cent of the applicants are found to fill
the requirements. A large number
are examined every day, coming from
every state in the Union. On the par
ticular day that he went through the
tests there were but two passed-him-
self and young fellow from Great
Falls, Mont. Among those taking the
examination who failed to pass were
two young men who had journeyed all
the way from Spokane, Wash. They
were sorely disappointed at being re-
jected.
An entire day is taken up in COM
pleting the tests. The preliminary
examinations are given at the camp
by the army doctors and officers
which examination search into mans
intellectual qualifications as well al
physical condition. After the com.
pletion of these tests they are taken te
large hospital where specialists Of the
government make another similar ex.
animation to verify the correctness Of
the first enc. If minor defects arr
found that can be remedied by mi
nor operation they are performed i'm
mediately before the completion Of
the examination.
Carmie answered every question
asked him and followed all the ins
structions given him while being ex
amined in a truthful way and afte7
beng accepted he found out that tn
doctors resorted to several littl'
<e+r;oL,cU =, +ho;r examination in Or(Ie,
to guard themselves against being de
ceived by the applicants, who in thei
eagerness to be accepted often draw
on their imaginations in answering
which worked to their detriment. H
had the privilege Of looking over hi
examination papers after passing, an
found that he had passed a very goo
examination.
