BOX CAR ROBBERS
DRAW SENTENCES

Clifford Lowell and George A.
Baker, charged, respectively, with box
car robbery and receiving stolen prop
erty, pleaded guilty to the charges
before Judge w. C. Crawford on
Wednesday morning, and sentences
were imposed. Lowell was given one
and one-half years in the state prison
and Baker drew a one-year sentence.
An officer from Bismarck will arrive
in this city within a few days to
transfer them from the Stark county
jail to the state penal institution.
Robberies were committed last fall
and winter, a large amount of mer-
chandise being stolen from the N. P.
yards in this city: Baker was ar
rested, and then was allowed his free
dom for a short time, in order to visit
his wife and child, both seriously ill.
He violated his pledge and fled to the
Standing Rock Indian reservation, but
was re%captured and returned here.
Lowell was returned to Dickinson
from North Yakima, Wash, last week,
in charge of Sheriff Hartung. He was
captured there by Sheriff Murphy of
Yakima county, and held until the ar
rival Of Mr.. Hartung. He at first re-
fused to come without extradition, but
later decided to return here for trial.

PIONEER RESIDENT
CALLED BY DEATH

Mrs. Carolina Fink, resident of
Dickinson for more than 80 years,
was called by death about $50
Mrs. Viola Homer, With whom she had
months. Stricken by paralysis while
seated at the supper table Tuesday
evening, death came only a day later,
FASTENED by her weakened condition,
brought about by a stroke about a
a year previous.
Carolina Paltz was born in Germany
March 8, 1848, and was married in
her native land in 1869 to William
Fink, who met his death in an explos-
ion in 1878. The widow came to
North Dakota with her father and
four children in 1886, and to Dickin-
son in the spring of 1890. She had
resided here continuously since
arrival.
Two children survive her, Mrs.
William Chaloner Of Mary, N. D., and
Jacob Fink of Northport, B. c. Also
remaining to mourn her passing are
three sisters, Mrs. Justiena Naubeuar
and Mrs. Dorothy Pipka, both of
Hebron, and Mrs. Julia Belgamier Of
Kuhn, N. D.; one brother, Christof
Paltz Of Hebron; nine grandchildren
and two great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held from
the house Saturday morning at 10
o'clock, in charge Of members Of the
Christian Science church, of which de-
cedent was a member. Interment will
be in the Dickinson cemetery. L. A.
Davis & Son are in charge Of burial
arrangements.
Mrs. Fink was n of the pioneers
of this vicinity and witnessed the rise
of this city from a mere hamlet to a
thriving municipality. She home
steaded near Hebron some time after
her arrival here, and by her industry
and untiring efforts made her own
way through difficulties before which
the average woman would have
quailed and given up. A host of
friends mourn the passing Of n who
was a Christian, home-loving woman,
ever ready to lend a helping hand to
the needy.
