ler. Valuables Missing.

as engineer on the Great Northern, he
found his house on 412 Second Street
East ransacked and among the missing
articles are one hundred dollars in War
Saving Stamps, suit Of slothing, two
raZors and other valuables. The thieves
made their entrance by removing a
screen on the west side of the house.
after which they had pried the window
open and crawled over the table into the
kitchen.
Mrs. Jones and children were not at
home at the time but were visiting at
Herman. This robbery was committed
when Mr.. Jones was away on the road.
He had not been home since Sunday, a
week ago, until yesterday morning.
Every drawer in the bureau and cabi-
net and all the rooms of the downstairs
of the house has been ransacked, ex-
cept a drawer containing the silverware
which the prowler tried to pry open with
a knife but failed. All the clothing in

closing the window and setting in the

WATCH SAVES. CONDUCTOR
FROM u CALlBRE BULLET

William Rice, freight conductor Of
the Great Northern, had a very thrill
ing experience last Saturday afternoon
just as the freight train was pulling OUT
from Litchield for willmar. A young
boy at the former town shot % CALI
bre bullet thru the caboose window
which struck Mr.. Rice, and his watch
was the only thing that saved him from
instant death. He had the watch In the
upper vestpocket. The watch was en-
tirely destroyed and the bullet was fiat
tened out and was found in the: same
pocket. The bullet made quite a dent
in the timepiece and the wording on the
movement was made plain on the in
side of the back of the case. The only
loss Mr.. Rice has sustained from the
experience, is the 2s-jewel Illinois
watch. ~
This ought to be a warning to other
youngsters to be careful where they
shoot so as not to endanger anybody's
life.
