of Assyriologists have brought discov-
cries OF times anterior to Moses. The
famous Sayings of Jesus" although
fragmentary, proved highly valuable
in establishing the verify OF THE
Acts" and by similar discoveries, Dan
lei, whose very existence had been
doubted. is shown to have been a veri-
table person. Sargon, too, an Assyrian
king, over whose name the earlier
translators hesitated, several of them
doubling that such a monarch ever
reigned. was revealed as a historical
monarch. In brief, the mass of new
Biblical evidence, new manuscripts,
new meanings of words, while highly
interesting to the scholar, did not
strike the ordinary readers as involv-

matter generally is shown by the way
the ordinary Bible reader acted. He
displayed a languid curiosity over all
these finds and he went on buying and
reading the King James version. He
didn't know how to account for his
preference, perhaps, but realized that
the simple old Bible Of his forefathers
had held its own, in fact had been
strengthened in its own by modern re-
search and discovery.
In so far he is not dissatisfied that
the early manuscripts have been again
so carefully scrutinized with the result
that the truth of the historical Bible
has been completely attested and holds

The simple are rarely sceptical Of
moral truths. Doubt unsettles, scares
and shocks them. They would be apt

DYKMAN LAD DROWNED

Chester McArdlc, the Ia year
old lad of Sandstone who skipped
down to the Twin Cities after
the disappearance Of his play
mate, Hector Dykman, was To-
Gated after about a weeks search
and was brought, home by his
older brother Of Sandstone, Tues
day.
Chester, although very quiet,
has given the authorities this
much information that he. and
the Dykman boy were in a boat
on Kettle River which capsized
the Dykman boy drowning. Ches-
ter has also pointed out the place
where it happened about mid.
way between Sandstone and Ban.
ming. There are rapids at this
place and in fact a dangerous
place on the river. Old timers
report that quite a number Of
lumber jacks, years back, have
lost their lives here.
Chester McArdle, realizing
the awful thing that had hap
pened and being only a young
lad thought that he might be
held responsible and looked up
on as bad character. For this
reason he decided to skip away
thinking that he could avoid the
authorities.
Since Chester's return to Sand
stone a renewed effort has been
made in trying to recover the
body Of Hector Dykman from the
river bottom. but up till Thurs
day noon without success. Dy-
Mantle, hooks and poles are be-
ing used. The river bed at this
point is very rocky.

HOLD.UP At SANDSTONE
Hans HalyorsOn Knocked Tn.
conscious While Thief Skips
With About $40.

Hans Halvorson who conducts
grocery store on Front Street
in Sandstone was greeted by a
rather rough customer in his
store about 8 o'clock yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Halvorson had just opened
his safe and was taking the
change out for the cash drawer
when someone came rushing in
and swung right uppercut on
the side of Mr.. Halvorson's face,
which knocked him unconscious.
Evidently Mr.. Halvorson fell
against the door of the safe as
he had a cut on the other side
of the face. About this time
the desperate character helped
himself to a little loose change,
about $50, and skipped out thru
the back door. The commotion
was heard in the barber shop
next door, but no attention was
paid to it and Mr.. Halvorson
layed there in an unconscious
state for several minutes, until
someone happened to drop in.
He was then given medical at
tention.
The thief has as yet not been
caught, but authorities have a
fair description of him as it is
thought he was in. the store the
evening before. It is also be-
lieved that there are two impli-
Gated in the deal.

for $4,000.

The village of Hinckley made
a progressive move Tuesday in
that they voted to issue bonds
to the extent Of $4,000 for a
water system and $4,000 for a
sewer system, the vote being 118
for and 81 against on the first
proposition and 119 for and so
against on the second PROPOSE
ton.
A water and sewer system is
something that Hinckley has
needed for many years and when
it is now established it will All
a long felt need. A village the
size of Hinckley with a populA-
ton of between TOO and 500
ought to have a water and sewer
system if for no other reasons
than to preserve health, and
this the big majority of their
citizens realized when they went
to the polls Tuesday.
This is progressive step on
the part of Hinckley citizens and
marks the village as in keeping
