BANDITS TERRORIzF
MINNESOTA TOWNS
THREE SUSPECTS LANDED IN
TODD COUNTY JAIL AT LONG
PRAIRIE, :.
DARING HOLD-UPS REPORTED
ONE ROBBER ESCAPES AFTER
THRILLING GUNFIGHT WITH
THE OFFICERS,

A series of automobile and train
robberies involving the exchange of
volley of shots between a railroad de-
tective and a bandit, the stealing of a
Dig touring car from hunter on the
road near Staples and finally the ar
rest of three of the men believed to
DE connected with a gang of four has
been terrorizing the people between
Brainerd and Detroit, through several
counties for the past several days.
The three suspects under arrest
give the names of E. R. Farmer,
Horace E. Hartew and John CHM
berick They are lodged in the Todd
county Jail at Long Praire on the
technical charge of trespasslng CT the
Northern Pacific railroad, while inves-
tigation is being made as to their
connection with the crimes. The last
named man is said to be discharged
soldier.
The series of holdups are Che
boldest recorded in this section for
weeks. Late Saturday evening a
stranger approached Marshal +.
Kuhns of Staples at the depot and in
formed him that he had been held up
and robbed at a station between Sta
pies and Park Rapids. He pointed out
a man near the depot whom he said
was the robber. The marshal and De-
tective VIM. O'Grady of the North
ern Pacific railway climbed through a
string of cars and started after the
robber. He opened fire upon them,
using an automatic pistol.
O'Grady returned the fire, shooting
four times. The robber then ras to
nearby lumberyard and disappear
ed. At 11:30 Saturday night three
men appeared in Staples and asked
what had happened to the robber.
They were identified as the three who
had been with the escapd bandit IN
another robbery. They We're arrested
by railroad detectives and the mar
shall.
Sunday afternoon Brainerd man,
on hunting tour in his big touring
car was held up and robbed by lone
bandit who had stepped out of the
woods, seven miles from Staples. The
bandit ordered him to stop and get
out of his car and when he did so ne
took his cash, amounting to $50 and
his watch. The bandit then got into
the automobile and drove away, leav-
ing the hunter in the roadway. 1t is
now believed that, aided by the auto
mobile he will make his escape
though all surrounding towns were
notified soon after the robbery.

SOUTH DAKOTA CONGRESSMAN
URGES FEDERAL SOLDIER
BONUS FOR ALL SERVICE MEN

Washington, Oct. SIN a letter to
the chairman of the House ways and
means committee, Representative
Royal c. Johnson of South Dakota, a
veteran of the World War and win
ner of two crosses, declared today
that the time has come when Con-
gress either must do something for
discharged soldiers or tell them that
there will be no soldier legislation.
Mr.. Johnson believes the govern
ment should give the discharged men
money, not as bonus but as belated
salary. He does not think any dis
tinction should be made between men
who served here and those who went
overseas unless in the case of men
actually under fire.
Soldiers who went overseas did so
because they were ordered there.
With the exception of few clackers,
tn same is true, Mr.. Johnson said,
Of those who remained in the United
States.
Soldiers returning to civil life are
without funds in most eases, accord
ing to Mr.. Johnson, while those who
did not enter the army have plenty of
money. Such situation, the South
Dakotan believes, makes the average
returned soldier feel "that his patriot
ism has been an injury to himself"
Continuing, Mr.. Johnson said:
every American who was in the
army is done with governmental re-
straints. He does not desire any gov
eminent agent OF any official TO teach
him how to spend his own money.
During his entire service in the army
he has listened to the dictates of
someone who ranked him and the
time has come when he feels that he
can act for himself without govern
mental interposition.
"n he could be truste1 to fight for
h,s country against the ,nosr re-
sorrse tul enemy that the world has
evcs Known, he ought i, be trusted
to spend the few paltry dollars tina!
ws may give him as aided salary,
and he has the right to resent the
action of those in authority and of
those so-called philanthropists who
desire to have some commission
regulate his future action.
There is a certain class of men
who served in the A. E. F. who are
well supplied with this worlds goods
and do not need the bonus. Occa-
sionally one of them rushes to the
front with the suggestion thta moth
ing further should be done for the
soldier.
II would therefore suggest that
the bill be made optional so that
those men who are so well supplied
may not be forced to accept
anything further from the govern
ment. To me their attitude is based
upon their own self-suffciency and
such an amendment to any bill may
serve to appease their conscience.
Again, I desire to oppose a IA.
bonus based upon six nacnths or a
years salary, because any bonus
which gives a fiat rate to all men
in the service will place on the same
basis the old veteran of the First,
Second or Forty-second divisions,
who enlisted in the army at the be-
ginning of the war, and the man
who was drafted in November, 1918,
and served one day. Some of those
men have already been paid SCI for
one days service and to my mind
there can be no just bill except one
which is based on length of service :
