ROBBER
IS A SUICIDE
Printer, Charged With Rob
bing Bank, Takes
River Route.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 12.-'T Am
about to commit the only crime / ever
have been guilty of-against MYSELF"
read a note pinned to the coat which
was worn by Sheridan v. McElroy.
Napoleon printer, charged with the
robbery of the Napoleon State bank,
and which was found yesterday on the
banks of the Missouri. west of this
city. McElroy, who had been q
trusty about the Burleigh county Jail,
where he was held pending his trial
His coat and hat were found in such
a position as to indicate, in conjunction
with the note. that he had committed
suicide by diving into the swift cur
rent of the Big Muddy.
The Napoleon bank robbery Gre
ated a sensation last spring, when the
body Of the cashier vas found lying
across the open door of the safe, from
which q considerable amount OF. cur
rency was missing. McElroy, en-
ployed as a printer on the Napoleon
charged with the robbery, but not ac-
cused Of any connection with the
death of the cashier. The only evil
dence against McElroy seemed to be
of a highly circumstantial nature,
Ringing upon the fact that he ap-
peared to be in more affluent circum-
stances than he had before the rob-
berry.
McElroy, who has an uncle and a
cousin engaged in the newspaper
business in adjoining counties, had en-
joyed a good reputation prior to his
arrest, and when he was brought to
Burleigh county for safe keeping, the
Logan county officials recommended
liberal treatment for him. In conse-
quence, he had been used as a trusty,
coming and going about the county
building much as he pleased. Nc
Elroy's former home is in Wisconsin,
where he has a wife and one child.

Crops In Fine Shape

Prince Albert. sask., Sept. ~
Farmers who took a chance that the
freak frost Of July would not ruin
their crops, now reaping a splen-
did harvest in this district.
The frost was one Of the most
erratic that has ever visited this
region. 1t wiped out the crops OF
some farmers and 1t spared those In
adjoining, fields. Many farmers. be-
lieving their grain was destroyed.
Immediately began cutting 1t for feed.
Others decided to take the long
chance.
Harvesting Is proceeding quite sat
isfactorily despite recent rains. One
noticeable feature Of the improved
crop is the fact that a number Of
harvesting machinery on the assump-
ton that their crops would be ruined,
have renewed their orders.

~ 0Aay DC worm as Much as GOOD

Fargo, NJ. D., Sept. 12.-Farmers
OF North Dakota should not burn any
of this falls straw In addition to
providing feed for cattle this fall and
winter it may be worth as much as
good hay If the crop is below average
next yea
STRAW is much too valuable this
fall to be burned, and I don't believe
many farmers are burning it." said
W.. 3. Richards, Cass county farm
agent, today. Some last years straw
is being burned but only to make
room for this years stacks.
And, besides, there might be a
light crop next rear, and as a result
little straw. What was saved this
year Will be worth as much as hay"
Mr.. Richards added that it was not
unlikely that farmers and cattle rails
ers in the western half of the state
would need the surplus straw of the
eastern half Of the state before win
ter was over.
Save 1t, Says Lamb.
II think thai our farmers would
consider it a patriotic duty to help
out their brothers in the western half
OF h state by giving them their sur
plus straw. or selling it to them at a
minimum price so they could afford
to press and ship it where needed, in
stead Of burning much of it as they
did last year." writes J.. P. Lamb,
Michigan, prominent Nelson county
farmer and banker. 1T is certainly
a crime to burn straw at this time.
We have a good grade Of bright straw
this year, which will make splendid
feed if properly cared for.
People in the western part Of the
state r already commencing to ship
out young stock as they have no feed
to keep them owe winter, and there
will be a large percentage of the
stock shipped unless provision is
made whereby they can get feed at
reasonable prices"

Communication by Flags.

American officer instructed his lady
love to communicate with him by little
flags Of varied colors. Cooper, with
novelist's freedom, made his charac-
ter apply a system which had already
been extensively experimental with In
the British and French navies. For
after much experimenting combina-
tons of flags of various shapes and
colors were gradually developed into
what we call "code" today. Prob
ably the most famous flag signal ever
flown was Nelson's at Trafalgar, but
it required great number Of combina-
tions of flags (hoists, they are tech
nically called) to spell out: England
expects that every man will do his

A FOOLISH ,FApAEITY
Didn't Know 1t Was Loaded
Brought Instantaneous
Death to Edmund
McCOmb

At the Nogales Auto Comp
any's garage yesterday evening
there was enacted one of those
unwilling tragedies by which a
young man fooling with gun
was brought to a speedy and
untimely death.
The young man mentioned,
Edmund McComb, who was en-
ploye at the garage was in
company with "a number OF
youthful associates, and he took
to amusing himself by pointing
at the others, in succession, a
small 32-calibre pistol he had.
He was demonstrated with for
doing so, and he replied that the
gun was not loaded.
"But it is," said one OF his
associates; "there are three
cartridges in the pistol right
now."
"Oh, no, there are not" said
McComb; "See here"
And suiting the action to the
word he turned upon himself
the pistol, placing its muzzle on
his chest right over the heart,
and pulled the trigger. A bull
let sped to it's fatal mission, and
the young man dropped dead.
The young man whose tragic
ending is told had been in No
gales some time, and he had won
the good will of all with whom
had come in contact. He was
about twenty-three years of age.
