With the arrest Saturday at Nah
-nonlen of two men who were In pos
session of a stolen Ford car, officials
believe that the bandits who on Aug
3Oth robbed the State Bank at st.
Martin have been apprehended. In
the tonneau of the Ford, which had
been stolen several weeks ago from
Gaylord, Sibley county, this state, was
found a portion of the loot which the
same men had obtained on August
81 when they burglarized the F. H.
Henkemeyer store at Clear Lake. The
two prisoners have admitted the Clear
Lake robbery and the theft of the
automobile, but profess ignorance of
the St. Martin affair. The men, who
gave the names of Williams and Finn
are at present in Jail at Gaylord and
are expected to plead guilty this af-
ternoon to the theft of the car.
Sheriff B. E. Schooner, of st.
Cloud was called to Mahnomen Sat-
urday night to interrogate the prison
ers, but found on his arrival that the
Sibley county sheriff had already re-
sponded to wire and had obtained
possession of the bandits.
Williams and Finn were arrested
by the Mahnomen chief of police, ).
Roy, following detective work per
formed by garage man who identified
the Ford car, an open touring model,
as a machine advertised in circulars
as stolen. A third member of the
band, known only as "ShortN" eluded
the officers after plausible story of
finding the car disabled on road
near Mahnomen. A search of the
machine revealed not only sheep
skin coat from the Clear Lake store,
but two. large calibre revolvers, a big
sledge hammer which was part of the
Clear Lake loot and fuses of the kind
used by yegg-men. The hammer had
been taken from a section Toulouse
which was visited prior to the store
burglary.
The St. Cloud sheriff and Charles
D Brown, agent for the bankers
protective association, believe the men
to be guilty of the st. Martin robbery
and will attend the hearing at GAY
lord in case it is postponed until Fri
day as was arranged at the time of
the arrest.
Williams and Finn were "mugped"
by the Mahromen authorities and the
Stearns official is in possession Of
the photos The men had stayed at
the St. James Hotel, Minneapolis, on
the day following the St. Martin rob
berry, and that evening had visited
Clear Lake on the trip which resulted
in the robbery of the Henkemeyer
store. The car has been reported as
having passed through Richmond on
the morning of the day in which the
st. Martin bank robbery was COM
mitted. Several packages had been
mailed to women at the hotel by the
trio of bandits, but the contents have
not as yet been ascertained.

ed boxing bouts. Friday morning
Manager Rogers and Referee Bert
Tippey called at the Herald office and
asked the editor what he thought of
the Thursday bout. We told them
that the people were badly disguised
with the first days fiasco, and they
assured US that the bout Friday be-
tween Woodley and Petri would be
well worth while and asked US to
watch it closely. We did, and while
people say it was better, perhaps
than the one on the preceding day
it was rotten. How these birds have
nerve enough to claim to be exponents
of the manly art of self defense
passes the understanding of the fight
fans who witnessed their antics. The
most active work Of the referee was
to clap his hands after the pugs had
remained in a clinch holding each
others hands. 1t is dollars to dough

The Sank Centre public schools

Principal Scott and full complement
ofNinstructors in the various grades.
The enrolment was very heavy the
first day necessitating the election of
an additional teacher to work in the
Junior high building under the direc-
ton of Miss Chelgren. Nearly every
grade is overcrowded, and if the
grades keep on developing another
building will be necessary within a
year or two.
There are IA new teachers in this

Stearns County's Nineteenth An
nual Fair is now a matter of history
The exposition closed with very
splendid last day program-the best
of the entire fair, in fact, and with a
crowd that was within few hundred
of the supposedly big second day.
This is unusual for county fairs.
President Charles Harrison, Secre-
tary Gillig and the Board and super
intendents are entitled to unstinted
praise for the character of the show
put on this year. 1t was Stearns
county's best fair, and people who
had visited other fairs held in Cen
trail Minnesota this year state that
the Stearns county fair did not suffer
by comparison.
County fairs are in very critical
stage at present; they are on the
ragged edge financially. The Stearns
county fair has been fortunte in
having fairly passable weather 70,
the past several years. Prior tc
last year a little money was made
each year, but this surplus was in
vested in improving the grounds and
erecting new buildings.
Last year the night show was ex-
perimented with. improvements were
made to the buildings. and the re-
ceinte fell off, with the natural re-
suit that the small balance was win
ed out and the year was started with
a deficit.
This vnar it was decided to o..
away a Ford car in an endeavor tc
bolster the ticket sale. This plan was
abandoned several years ago, and the
Herald is convinced that it was ar
expensive investment this year. Free
attractions cost more than ever anc
at least 5000 could have been saved
the association had the entry money
gone to the fair association instead OF
being added to the purses. The races
this year cost about $2,7OO, while hac
the entry fee been turned into the
fair. the races would have cost 81 900
The receipts for the 1921 fair were
several hundred. dollars heavier thar
last year, which is splendid showing
when the experience of other fairs
are taken into consideration. In Wi
mona county. for instance, the last
davis fair was called off because oil
lack of attendance.
The receipts for the 1921 fair ir
-hn various departments were as fol
lows:

BARN BURNED

A mysterious fire destroyed the
barn, 52x60 on the Middlestedt farm
seven miles west of Sank Centre on
Monday afternoon. The farm is
owned by A. g. Whitney and was
occupied by M. w. Curry The blaze
occurred about four o'clock while the
family were at work in the field.
Three calves and boar pig were de-
stroyed as well as a quantity of hay
and grain. The barn was partially
insured.

Appendicitis Operation
Popular Sank Centre Pastor Recov-
ering at st. RaphaePs Hospital

Rev John Fearon, pastor Of Our
Lady of the Angels church of Sank
Centre, suffered very acute and Sc
we're appendicitis attack Wednesday
of last week and was taken at once to
St. Cloud where was operated upon
at st. Raphael's hospital Thursday
morning. He was in a very critical
condition following the operation, but
late reports state that he is resting
easy and is now on the high road to
recovery, which is very gratifying to
his manv friends both inside and
outside his church.
Fir. Fearon's mother is with him
at the hospital and they will return
to Sank Centre within a short time.

.OS
The premium money is paid by the
state of Minnesota. 1t is expected
this will amount to approximately
S1,675 this year.
Secretary Gillig has not been able
to definitely figure out the cost of
this years fair, but the indications ar
that the receipts this year will fall
short about $500.
The total receipts from all sources
last year, including the night show,
was $4,811.
From a strictly agricultural stand
point it is very doubtful if a better
county fair was ever held in the state
than the Stearns county fair this
wear. Farmers in increasing num-
bers and over wider area of terri
tory than ever, exhibited. The COM
petition was particularly keen in the
dairy section. In the herd classes of
dairy cattle the winners were as fol-
lows:
First - Henry Myers Holstein
herd, Metre Grove.
second-F. P. Minette & Sons
Brown Swiss herd, Sank Centre.
Third--H G. Borgman's Holstein
herd, Sank Cen.re.
In the Boys ard CHS Dairy Calf

Mrs. ". K. Johnston
 IS Critically Hl

The many friends of the Rev. Walter K. Johnston and of Mrs. Johnston will be pained to .earr. that Mrs. Johnston is critically i'll in the Lucy Brinkley hospital in Memphis to which city she was taken several days ago for an operation. Mrs. Johnston had been ill for sew eral weeks and recently her condi- ton became so complicated that 1t was decided to ..ake her to Memphis for an operation. One operation was performed Tuesday, following which she grew worse. The physi- clans had intended performing an- other operation for the removal of her appendix, but she was so weak ened by the first operation that they decided not to operate on the appendix. Last night a telephone message was received here to the effect that her condition was criti- cal. Her husband is at her bed side and will remain with her un- til the crisis is passed. There will be no preaching services at the Presbyterian church here Sunday on account of the absence of Rev. Johnston.
