were secreted. The officers were but
fifty feet away from the gunmen.
Capt. Brown kept firing from the top
of the train and could see the men
quite plainly in the ditch. About that
time the moon went under cloud and
this made the firing more dangerous
and uncertain. Finally the gunmen
called out that they would give up if
the officers would stop shooting. They
were told to drop their guns, throw
up their hands and walk out. They
appeared afraid to come out and the
officers started shooting again. Three
of the men walked out and gave up.
One Of the men who escaped called to
the officers: "Come and get me, you
The officers found three guns in the
weeds where the men had thrown
them. One is a As calibre Smith &
Wesson, another Colts 6-shooter and
the third a $3.50 Remington automatic.
This gun had jammed when the gun
man had attempted to fire the first
bullet.

there was only dozen officers. He

In the car which the men occupied
dozen empty pocketbooks were found.
These we're taken from victims whom
they had robbed on the train and then
thrown out of the door.
Officers could find no trace of blood
where the man was supposed to have
been shot through the intestines, but
it is said that his clothing could easi-
ly have soaked up the blood.

Minot Has One Of The, Best Music
Stores in Northwest

Stores in Northwest
At last Minot musicians are able
to say that the city has a first class
music store. Not only will the
visitor be told this interesting fact,
but that the Minot store is probably
one of the best stores of it's kind in
the state. Hart Swalstead, Main
street jeweler, who added what is
known as the Brunswick Shop to his
iewelry store last season has now
made another innovation by placing
one Of the finest stocks of pianos, and
musical instruments that it has ever
been the writer's privilege to inspect.
In the Swalstead store one can find
anything in the. shape of musical
instrument ranging from the lowly
Jews harp to slide trombone. A
line of Baldwin pianos is handled in
addition to Brunswick monographs,
yiolins, saxophones, comets, horns,
trombones, ukeleles, banjos, mando-
Inns, accordions and guitars. A full
line of drummers supplies are hand
led Including traps Of the latest de-
sign. Sheet music in the latest
popular hits are carried in stock as
we'll as music scores of the higher
grades, and full line of leather
music rolls. C. NJ. Warner, Brother
Town Crier from Chicago, is in
charge Of the sales department, as
sisted by Miss Ida Elvrum, who has
been in charge Of the Brunswick Shop
since it's establishment.
The Swalstead Music Store is
bound to meet with popular favor
as the musicians Of Minot and vicini-
ty have been handicapped for years
by the lack of such a store carrying
instruments and music such as the
Swalstead store now carries.

Scion of Bourbon Family Badly n- jurcd When He steps in Front
 of New York Chief

New York, Dec. 29.--America in stead of land of promise and pros perity has proved to be the province of disappointment and pain to Prince Louis de Bourbon, who today is lying in a Bellevue hospital cot badly in iured. He came to the United States last spring as representative of q syndicate seeking to stimulate trade between this country and the Balkan States, asserting he was half brother Of King Alfonzo of Spain.
 Shortly after his arrival announce ment was made he was to marry Mrs. Bertha K. Archibald, widow of a wealthy Englishman and a resident of this city, but in August, there was a statement from Mrs. Archibald that the engagement had been broken.

Tasnaya, Polyana, Russia, Dec. 29 Fifteen young men, two young women and an elderly matron have recently established on the Tolsoi es- tate what they term an Improved Bolshevik community" Described as an attempt to rectify failure of con- munism, the members of the colony are the declared enemies of the de- struction of property, human or ami nal life and thus are arrayed against the Soviet government.
 The members of the colony make a religion of manual labor and de- clare its chief tenet to be embodied in the phrase Love thy neighbor as myself" They declare themselves, like Count Tolstoi ''searchers for the truth in all things" They arrived here in early September with a per nit from Moscow to occupy a portion Of the estate now classcd as national institution. A teacher whose brother Is director of the colony, organized the movement. The IS members, all of whom profess the practical idealism of the Doukhobor sect with q mingled belief in Buddhism, were allotted quarters in once handsome but now

 The correspondent came first in contact with q member of the colony in rather strange manner, After q long journey he had been enrolled as pilgrim at the Tolstoi home, accord ing to the rules of the institution. He was given a bed in the ground floor room, characterized by a big brick arch, q room occupied by Tolstoi for some 15 years Just as he was drop ping off to sleep, he was reused by pleasing chords on the grand piano located in the room The playing was done by young man who wore high boots. a belted jacket, and d sheep skin cap. Seeing the correspondent, he stopped playing and apologized, saying he didn't know the room was occupied. Then he went on to OK plain who he was and began 10 ask information about the possibility of walking to India by way of TurlIes- tan. He wanted to study philosophy there he said

This operation was pre- ceded by an animated discussion as to whether it should be done. The young men carefully debated this problem: If the trees are not white washed, the orchard will be ruined by insects but if the whitewash is np- piled the insects will die of starva- ton and 1t is wrong to destroy life. AS the members of the colony are Vegetarians and fruit is therefore the prime article of food to them. neces- slty prevailed over ideals and the whitewashing was done.
 A second problem was solved much after the same reasoning. For many years the manager of the Tolstoi Cs- tate has been Prince Obolinski, who occupied building once used by the author as a peasants school The newcomers, declaring that the pres ence of an overseer might re: >rict their liberty of action," have decreed that the prince must go and the Obo- linski family soon must seek food and shelter elsewhere.

 able Health Resort in Hawaii

Hilo, Island of Hawaii, T. H.. Dec. 29.-On the brink of one of the worlds wonders-the ever-active vol cano of Kilauea on this island-the soldiers and sailors of the United States stationed in Hawaii have a re- markable health resort that might well stir the heart of multi million aire to envy.
 Realizing that troops stationed in the territory need occasional change to cooler climate, citizens of the is land of Hawaii subscribed a large sum of money recently and erected barracks and other necessary build ings on tract of fifty acres over looking the spectacular volcano and commanding a full view of the neigh boring dormant volcano of Mauna Loa.
 A long lease was obtained and the property was offered without charge to the army and navy for use of their personnel. Major General Charles r. Summerall, commander of the flaw allan department, accepted and i'm mediately arranged that attachments should make the short steamer jour ney from Honolulu and visit the Xiii auea military camp for a period of ten days at a time.
 The camp is at an elevation of 4,000 feet above sea level. The visits of the men and the change afforded from life In the semi-tropical climate that prevails in the rest of the archi- pelago, has proven of great benefit to the health of the troops. according to medical officers attached to the de- partmental surgeon.
