 The footpads entered the auto salesroom about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and requested to look al some pleasure cars. Mir. Nudkin con ducted tho men to a rear room, and as he was demonstrating the cars the men tackled him. One of them had a gun and threatened to shoot the salesman. but he fought them off and shouted Justify for help.
 Alarmed by the outcry of their in tended victim, the two robbers fled from the store without getting any thing. One turned east on State street and the other headed west Pc lice and citizens gave chase, the lar;,, CT crowd following the man who had turned east. The thief sprinted rap idly through State and Broad streets turned into Cannon street and lodged through an open door of the Pos building.

the entire North Dakota wheat crop,

Wallace sold his grain. The differ

The elevator said Mr.. Wallace's
wheat was worth $1.84, but it took

brought the actual price he obtained

This year the story went different.

He took it to the same elevator. But
the Minneapolis price of $2.85, less

Yours sincerely,
H. l.. MYERS.

Below is a letter on the subject
written by the Editor of the Producers
News to Senator Myers:
Oct. %. 1919.
Hon. H. L. Myers,
United States Senator from Montana,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
l have before me your letter to w.
G. Wachter of Medicine Lake and
Simeon Nielsen of McCabe.
Of course it was no surprise to
me that you are apparently in SYM
pathy with hideous tortures that arr,
being inflicted upon poor John A.
Hardersen the Archer conscientious
objector, but was amazed at the po-
sition you take in the premises.
1t is very nice of you to tell the
friends Of Mr.. Hardersen that if the
charges Of brutality, of brutality that
makes the "Hun' seem humane, were
substaniated, that if these charges
were proven, even after young Har-
dersen were done to death in the hole
at Alcatraz, then you might be will
ing TO investigate.
1t seems to me that you have en-.
tilely lost the spirit of democracy and
the primitive ideals of the American
people: Are you senators SO joint
owners of this country, with a deed
in fee simple, or are you the duly
elected representatives of the people
OF the United States?
1t is time we understood your men,
tai attitude, in order that we know
how to proceed--we approach a
kaiser differently than we approach a
public servant.
1t appears to me that if you were
serving the people, instead of your
own prejudices and bigotry, you
would not lean SO heavily upon your
opinion in this affair, and would not
be so positive of the exaggeration of
the article appearing in the Producers
News, but would at least be fair
enough to look into the matter and
find out for yourself whether or not
the charges are true. It might
change your opinions, if that We're
possible. You might take a chance.
For my part am too much Of u
lover of the "old Flag" to stand by
idly and allow these Sioux Indian
atrocities to take place without rails
ing my voice in protest, in spite of
the fact that I am not a Conscien-
tious Objector. I am. willing to fight
whenever it is necessary for demo-
cracy whether at home or abroad.
beg to remain,
Very truly yours,
CHARLES E. TAYLOR.
