A PAIR OF BOLD ROBBERS
Otto Bloemke Was Held Up at a
Late Hour Monday Night
on Way Home

There is at least one bold hold-up
artist at large who is nursing some
painful wounds about his face, if not
some gunshot wounds, because Otto
Bloemeke refused to be held up.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bloemeke had left the
garage for their home across the tracks
at 11:45 Monday night. A half hour
after arriving home a party by the
name of Kosel who had attended the
dance in the Lehrer hall telephoned that
he desired to get his car out Of the garage
in order to drive to his home. Otto
promptly responded and upon his second
return home he was commanded to
hold up his hands by stranger near the
Fred Brandt residence, which is only
three doors from his own home. In.
stead Of holding up his hands Otto
deliberately hurled large fashlight at
the intruder, striking the gent a forcible.
blow with it in the face, which mo-
mentarily stunned him. As the fellow
was staggering around in bewildered
manner, Otto hurriedly whipped out
an autorzatic revolver and began to
empty it at the fellow. When the third
shot was fred, Otto noticed the fellow
stumbled and fell, whereupon his COM
panion, who had been hiding nearby,
made his appearance and assisted his
companion to his feet and they beat
q hasty retreat. When he first went.
home with his wife, Otto carried about.

at the house before returning to the
garage. Shortly after he left the house,
Mrs. Bloenke heard footsteps on the

would then have to turn the United States
into an armed camp. DR.. Holm have
it as his opinion that the present tendency
of thought in Germany is that of Darwin
ism which breaches the doctrine Of the
survival Of the fittest and is Numerically
opposed to the tenets of Christianity
which wants the weak and the lowly
protected and supported.
MIR. Clark Speaks =
Mr.. Clark of Minneapolis spoke of
the preparations that had been made
to make the loan success. He went
into detil and showed it was now
possible to oversubscribe the allotment.
Holm eister's band rendered some very
fine selections Of music which were
heartily applauded by the audience.

ORGANIZE WAR SAVINGS SOCIETY

Thrift is the watchword in these days
of huge expenditures. More so than
ever before has it become the duty of
the Individual to save and to economic.
To promote systematic saving a meeting
was called by County Treasurer Henry J..
Berg, in which he outlined the plan of
forming a society to become active in
the sale of war savings certificates.
The meeting was held in Judge Olsen's
chambers. The name of the new Or
ganization is, ''The Peoples War Saw
ings Society,"" Henry ]. Berg was
elected president and County Auditor
Vogel was named secretary. The society
will strive to sell stamps to it's own
members and to others. The names of

INSURANCE MEN ASK FOR AN
ADVANCE IN PREMIUM RATES

Insurance companies Of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota were repre-
sented at meeting which was held
recently at the Office Of Insurance Com
missioner John B. Sanborn at the state
capitol They asked for an increase of
ten per cent on all fire insurance rates.
Their contention was that on account Of
the additional expenses for taxes and
Office work the larger companies were
being weakened and the smaller ones
might be driven out Of business entirely.

The same night the saloon of Spicer

some loot was secured, consisting Of
about $40 worth Of gold pieces taken

Mr.. Bloemeke says it was too dark to

tempted to hold him up, but that he
was Of medium height and quite feshy..

Of men out on detail work I
would always talk to them and
try to encourage them. I would
tell them that even though they
were in the Casual Camp they
must try to be men anyway, and
brace up and take heart. In this
way I helped a lot Of those men,
who like myself wanted to fight
with their comrades overseas but
could not go.
"My work among the casuals
came to the attention of some of
the officers, and when a new
unit was made up to do some
special work in the camp, I was
selected as II to go into that
unit from the Casual Camp. I
now have a better chance to 90
overseas, and | am hoping that
my opportunity will one day
come.
"You ask me about my reli-
gion. | have never been a mem
Der of the Church. I think that
my people were Greek Catholics.
But | want to be a Christian and
have thought about it a great
deal. When I was with my
friends who helped me, I decid-
ed that | would some day be a
Christian. Then | have a sweet
heart in that same town, who
will marry me when I get ont
Of the army, and she IS a good
Christian. | want to give my life
to the Lord Jesus Christ. Ny
sweetheart is a member of your

like your church, and if | am
not on duty next Sunday eve
ming I will be received into your
Church by baptism"
How often there is just be-
meath the khaki blouse of the
soldier a glowing heart, the max
ings of a real man, but SO often
when yon are permitted to look
into that sacred shrine yon find
a heart, sad and full of pathos,
yet ever susceptible to the eter-
nal truths. Such did / find in
this soldier lad. Now he is a
fine character, a manly man, a
perfect gentleman, a true soldier
Of the Cross of onr Lord Jesus
Christ as he is a true soldier of
his adopted country.

his name and address and look

day. He was on guard duty and
[ could have but little converse
ton with him, so | arranged a
conference with him at my resi-
denee in the city. 1t was at this
conference that he told me the in
steresting story of his life and de-
cided to give his heart to the
Master and be baptized in His
name. The story of his life made
such a deep impression upon me
that when he left I wrote it down

for my mother death.
I'VE were poor. We had a
piece of land but it took all we
could make to buy bread to eat.
But my father loved his children
and worked hard to build up a
little home for US, and after we
children grew up we worked, and
after a time we had built up a
nice little home. There was plenty
in the house to eat, and we had
comfortable clothes to wear. We
were beginning to be happy. | was
then grown, and | decided to go
to America to work. | did not
intend to stay there, but as /
could make more money there II
could help my people more, and
then when I had saved up a
neat sum ! intended to return TO
my people. Every week I sent
some Of my money home, and [
would hear that my people were
getting along nicely.
"Then the news came to me
one day that the home had burn
ed down, and everything that we
had saved had been destroyed IN
the flames. Not a thing was left.
When ] think Of it my blood
boils, because the house was set
on fire by some Of the big men
of Austria in order to compel my
father to sell his land. They
wanted my fathers farm but he
would not sell It, 50 they took
this method to drive him into a
forced sale and a cheap bargain.
It nearly killed my father, be-
cause he had worked hard all his
life to build up a little home SO
that we children might have
something when he was dead, and
now we had nothing. | could not
go back home then. | had to stay
here to make more money to
send to my people.
.fWhen I had first arrived IN
America, of course I lived with
people of my own country, and
spoke their language. I worked
where they worked. They all
drank. Ny father had taught us
not to drink. I had never drunk
in my life. But these people told
me that If I wanted to hold my
job and get along with the
Americans I would have to drink.
So I learned to drink, and it
was not long until I was stand

But all this time I was
sending money to my people in
