five BAD men
Are PUT IN JAIL

Sheriff Kelly, Deputy Sheriff Inge-
bret Larson, Chief of Police Swanson
and Patrolman Fred King had a lively
time up at the high line Saturday
night when they attempted to arrest
several men. The men had been CIV
ing the train crew trouble-they were
bad, bold fellows-several miles west
of here, and the conductor wired in to
the authorities to be in readiness to
arrest them when they arrived at the
high line. They were on the job and
they had very lively time of it for
while but the men were finally TAX
en- into custody and will be given a
hearing some time today. They are
gun men and bad ones at that. They
were riding in a box car and when
the sheriff and police officers attempt
ed to enter they opened fire on the
officers. At least Is shots were fired
in the mixup but no one was hurt we
are informed. The men taken up gave
their names as A. Pickham, Oklahoma,
E. M. Powell, Oklahoma, w. E. Goe-
ner, Sioux City, Iowa, Ben Smith,
Maine, and James Daniels, Spokane,
Wash. All were heavily armed with
revolvers and several rounds of am
munition. The cases will probably
come up some time today before Judge
I. J. Moe. They are bad men and have
been giving the train crews consid
cradle trouble.

ALETTER FROM
DEAN WOODLANDS

Somewhere in France, Sept. II, '18.
Editor Times-Record,
Valley City, N. Oak.
Dear Sir: Perhaps a few impress
sions of my work in France may be of
interest to you, coming, not from the
soldiers viewpoint, but from one who
serves the soldiers.
The Y. M. C. A. is said to be the
greatest force today in serving the
American soldiers and certainly my
observations so far have been such as
to confirm this statement.
My assignment in Paris was to a
big military base as divisional music
and entertainment director.
Arriving in wonderful town where
each street corner reveales new vista
of palace and cathedral, found my
way to Y. M. C. A. headquarters to re-
port to the divisional secretary and to
take up my new duties. The following
day l visited five of the eighteen
camps for which I am responsible for
all their music an Entertainment.
The Y. M. C. A. hut is the soldiers
only home and in one particular camp
the secretary has made every effort
to cater to the various religious needs
of the men, holding Catholic mass at
an early hour each Sunday morning
and Protestant services at later
hour.
Special arrangements are made for
Jewish soldiers and place where they
may have the ministrations OF those
of their own faith has been provided
in the town.
The amusement department is max
ing every effort to send the very best
talent in the way of one act plays,
concert parties, lectures, vaudeville
groups, etc.
Each "Y" hut in the area has its
regular entertainment evening and
we must receive the various parties
as they come from Paris or other
points, make arrangements for their
entertainment while in this division,
route them to the various camps and
see that they have transportation:
At the present moment have four
such companies here for the week. Be-
sides the companies from away it is
my pleasure and duty to discover tai
ent in the various camps, develop it
and send it from place to place.
This is very constructive work and
is enjoyed by both the soldier-enter-
tanners and those who are entertained.
If this work is a vital necessity to
the morale of the soldiers now, how
much greater will be the need when
the war is over and the soldiers are
thrown quite upon their own resources
for the long time which must elapse
before rehabilitation.
I have only mentioned my own par
ticular branch of the work and will
not attempt to touch other branches,
such as the canteen and the many
other features of this noble work.
Perhaps one of the greatest needs
of the Y. M. C. A. are the women
whose splendid work in the canteen
has made it so comparatively easy to
carry on the Hut work which before
their coming presented many diff
culties which their gracious presence
has almost wholly aliviated. If or
others have sacrificed in order to be
of help in this great Y. NJ. C. A. work
it seems but little in comparison to
the great need for it. Though have
been in France a comparatively short
time it seems a long, long time since
sailed from an Atlantic port no long
err ago than July.

FOUR WAYS OPEN
FOR BULGARIA

Washington, Sept. 28.-Bulgaria
can get out of the war if she agrees
to four conditions an authorized
diplomatice source informs the
United Press today. She must
first demobilize her army and STIFF
render all materials; second, she
must permit the allies to use Bull
garian railroads; third, she must
permit the passage of the entente
troops to the Turkish front; fourth,
she must agree to rest all territorial
questions until general peace at the
end Of the war. If Bulgaria is sim
cere this diplomat said, she will &C
cept these conditions and give the
allies chance to strike directly at
the Turks. That Bulgaria would
accede to these demands it was
thought highly probable and on all
sides it was agreed that the allies
have much to gain by getting Bull
garia out of the way and exposing
Austria's rear and European Tur-
key to a vigorous attack. 1t be-
came known that the allies have
not consulted this government on
the subject so far but that they will
do SO it is believed likely.

ARTHUR B0NHUS
JOINS BENEDlCTS

Arthur Bonhus got rather tired of
having his cousin, who was recently
married and who has been visiting the
Bonhus families in this city, get all
the congratulations. People were 60
ing up to Art and shaking hands with
him and wishing him all kinds of good
luck in his married life, etc., which
kindly intentions were misplaced. This
gets to be too much of a good thing
and IN order to put a stop to it he
became imbued with the notion to
really get married, so last Saturday
evening he and Miss Margaret Hogen
were quietly married by Rev. w. C.
Lyon and left town on a HONEYMOON
trip. 1t was all done very quietly.
Mr.. Bonhus has built a very nice
home on the Tracy addition to Valley
City the past summer and we had Of
ten wondered what in the world he
was doing that for, the marriage last
Saturday night solves the question.
The Times-Record joins with host
OF their other friends in wishing Mr..
Bonhus and bride long life, happiness
and prosperity. We presume that in
the due course of time they will be at
home to their friends in their new
home.
