crow bars and a pickaxe. obtained
a loot of 1925 in cash. 5000 in I'M
registered Liberty loan bonds and
1925 in two-cent postage stamps in
day night in Fargo and Moorhead.
Two places in Fargo were broken
into and one in Moorhead. Police
and the sheriff's office are working
on clues.
Using a sledge hammer, the
thieves smashed the combination
lock loose on the safe in the office
Of the Fargo Foundry company, 2
Northern Pacific avenue, and escap-
and $500 in Liberty loan bonds.
The same thieves who entered the
Office of the Fargo Foundry SON
pany, ARE believed to have dgided
the office Of the Sinclair Refining
company, 1900 Front street, Moor
head. and the office Of the Indian
Refining company, Fifteenth street
smashed the safe door open
at Sinclair Refining company's
ofi@" with a sledge hammer and
crowbar and secured about SIS in
cash, according to the officers of the
company. The crowbar is believed
to have been stolen from the North
ern Pacific Railway yards.
The robbery at the Indian Rein
ing company is the second within, a
week. according to William Comen,
manager.
When employees Of the company
entered the Office this morning they
found cement and plaster heaped

On the three safes smashed, the
yeggs aimed the blows in the same
identical spot. just to the right OF
the combination lock which leads
authorities to believe hat the rob-
berries were committed by the same
persons.

MINOT ORGANIZES
NEW DRUM CORPS

Minot. N. D., June 29.-At a meet
ing of the directors of the Association
of Commerce., J.. F. Mcclure brought
up the proposition of organizing a
large drum corps, composed entirely
of business men who believe in Minot
and its future. and who will always
be ready to appear in parades for
anything that is for the benefit Of
the city. Mr.. McGuire's idea is to
have the corps ready to assist any
organization, commercial or SOCIAL. At
n time they are putting on any
celebration or making trips to other
towns. !.
The Minot Town Criers club set
the pace a couple of ear ago. but
this club has 80 many activities that
it mas become quite q burden for it
to assume the financing of a large
drum corps all alone, 30 that Mr..
McGuire's idea will be hailed with
acclaim by the Town Criers. and 1t 10
certain that the club will assist in
every way possible to make the larg-
er drum corps . uccees in every
way.

recently declared Arthur Lebeau,
foreman Of the Porter Screen Co.,
winooski. Vermont. "For ave years
I was a sick man. My principal
trouble was indigestion. I had no
appetite and generally went of to
work without any breakfast because
I knew IL I ate anything it would only
upset me. -
my condition wa 80 bad in fact.
I could neither sleep, eat nor work
with any satisfaction and was 80 ner-
vous that the least thing would upset
me. Nothing seemed to agree with
me and I would have severe cramping
pains in my stomach. and at times my
heart would palpitate badly. also
suffered from shortness Of breath,
and the least little exertion would
make my heart thump like an engine.
TAT last I almost, decided I would
give up my Job as I got o weak and
miserable I felt I could stand it no
longer.
zone night as I sat. reading a
paper I saw a statement about Tan
lac which convinced me it was Just
the medicine I needed. It helped me
from the very first dose and at the
time I had finished my third bottle,
I hardy knew myself. +.
II never have the slightest symp-
tom of indigestion now and I feel like
a brand new man in every way. MY
appetite is splendid. my nerves are
steadied and I sleep soundly at night.
The work I used to dread, now seema
easy for me and I am now in the very
pink of condition. OF course. I am
only W glad to recommend this
medicine"

JAMESTOWN
PEOPLE HEAR
INDEPENDENTS
LANCER, Collins and Kositz-
ky Attack Socialism at
Big Gathering.

jamestown. N. D., June $3.50
anarchism and Townleyism
were dealt a triple blow here yester-
day when Attorney General William
LANCER, State Auditor Carl Kositzky
Peter w. Collins addressed audi
ences.
Collins who is out on the platform
in behalf Of the National Council OF
the Knights of Columbus spoke at the
of exceptional ability out is master of
his subject m left no doubt in the
minds of his audience as to the close
ly knit socialistic forces which are
back of Townley in this state.
At the Klaus park the German
Russian population attended a picnic.
State Auditor Kositzky talked to the
crowd of 800 people in the German
language. He explained the workings
istic personnel of the Townley ma
chine.
RED Flag or Not?
LANCER followed him speaking in
English. you people are no more
Socialists than 1 am. but look at this
paper here. Townley directs its state
ments." He exhibited one of the ia
nous SO official sheets.
Here is what they would have you
do. Right here in this league l..ws-
paper they say" the anti-red flag bill
is an I. v. A. Vote on this
measure"
Are you people going to follow the
orders to vote "ko" on this law, thus
removing any penalty for flying the
red flag? Are you going to support
the red flag? Are you going to sup
port any group of political bosses who
tell you to forget the stars and stripes
and approve the red flag? If you are.
If you want socialism, II o want the
ticket and I'll gamble you'll get it."
LANCER Stands Up Well.
William LANCER has been standing
strain Of his campaign, but yesterday
afternoon after the speech at James
town he bathed In tumbled into bed
at 6 o'clock for the first real sleep
and rest in over a month. At 10
O'Clock this morning he was heading
for Sterling where he spoke this aft
ernoon. Tonight he addresses the
coal miners at Wilton and tomo. row
winds up the campaign in Grant and
Morton counties with a big meeting
at Mandan Tuesday night.
Il am confident that We will win
this fight against the autocratic con
troll of Townley. 1t has been q hard
fight against terrific odds, I believe
the people have at last awakened to
the fact that socialism has nearly had
our fair state in it's grip. l believe that
our ticket will carry by a fair MAORI
ty, but it means that every anti-so-
cialist anti-Townley vote must be cast
Wednesday. I cannot too strongly
urge it to be the patriotic duty of
every citizen to vote for the Republi-
can ticket for the passage of the anti
red flag law and the repeal Of the
ger.
