STRENGTHENING THE DIGESTION

KENO n ENING HE DTOES IUN
A good digestion depends upon
great many things, among others on
the strength of the muscles of the
stomach and abdomen. If you take
exercises to strengthen these muscles
your digestion will improve greatly.
One of the best and one of the
easiest to do is as follows: Lie flat on
your back either on a bed or couch
without any pillow under your head,
or lie flat on the floor Put your
hands on your hips, then, without any
outside support, raise the head as far

Woman Suffers Nervous Breakdown
Fires Revolver

Mrs. John Fleming who resides with
her husband and three little children
on Valley street is reported to be in
quite serious condition from a ner-
vous breakdown. Her parents Mr..
and Mrs. H. c. Rademacher Of Big
Stone City, S. D. have arrived.
Last Thursday A. M. Mr.. Fleming was
awakened from a sound sleep by the
discharge of a .32 revolver in the
hands Of his wife. She was standing
beside the bed and had fired the bull
let into the floor Mr.. Fleming arose
hastily and his wife swooned across
the bed. A doctor was called and lat
er in the day she showed signs Of i'm
provement. She stated that she had
been intending to shoot herself but
never could quite perform the act. She
stated that she had gone into the base
ment and fired the gun a time or two.
A week ago she sent for an attorney
and wanted her will made. It is hop
ed that her condition will improve
and in the meantime she is being Civ
en- the very best of care.

of so much blood and knew he must
do something, so started for a farm
house. He found the place unoccu-
pied and finally managed to get to
the home of Ole Brudevik, where he
was taken in and given assistance.
At about this time, Powers showed
up with one shot thru an ear, another
thru the nose and three in the neck
and chest. Powers was able to walk
about and returned to Mohall that
morning. Bussen was put to bed in
the farm house and the Mohall doctor
called who dressed his wounds. Nine
shots struck his head and the others
peppered him about the neck, shoul-
ders, arms and upper chest.
Minot was notified soon after the
shooting occurred and at three O'Clock,
half an hour after the shooting F. L.
Watkins, F. C. Upton, Howard Wat
kins and Mrs. Bussen had dressed and
were on their way to Mohall in the
Watkins powerful Cadillac car. Mr..
Upton did most of the driving, cover
ing the distance Of 54 miles in an
hour and half, arriving at the scene
of the shaoting at 4:30. Straw was
placed in the rear Of the Watkins Cad
lilac and a bed improvised for Mr..
Bussen who was brot to the Minot
hospital arriving at 1880 that fore
noon.
Watkins and Upton tracked the ban
dts as far as Lorraine where it was
found they had broken into the depot,
disconnected the batteries Of the tele-
phone and cut the wires. The Buick
which the bandits stole from the Off
GERS was recovered later, as the
radiator had been shot up and the
engine ran hot. The Buick was found
four miles from where the shooting
occurred. The bandits were provid-
ed with pole climbers which they used
in mounting the poles. at Lorraine to
cut the wires. Farmers who heard
the shooting say that fully 25 shots
were fired by the bandits. They used
two sizes of shot and must have had
more than one shotgun.
Powers had 3O-3O rifle and As
Colts revolver and it would have been
possible for him to have put both
|cars out Of commission, but had he
done so, he might have lost his life.
Bussen is Of the opinion that the five
men lay for him but the general opin-
ion is that they were just a bunch
of tough bandits, or possibly whiskey
runners, who did not propose to get
caught.
Five Of the toughest known runners
left Minot for Canada shortly before
this with a big car which they had
repaired in Minot garage. One
theory is that they traded their car
for whiskey, stole Ford and were
on their way into the states when
intercepted.
Bussen farmed his homestead north
Of Burlington for years, but has been
connected with the Watkins force for
the past year or two.

CLARENCE GOODWIN SHOT AND
KILLED BY BANDITS AT MAX

Clarence Goodwin, aged 81 years,
son of Lawrence Goodwin of Collins,
Mo-, was shot and mortally wounded
by a hold-up artist in the railroad
yards at Max, N. D., at ten o'clock
Monday night. The bullet from a
.38 calibre revolver entered his head
from the rear and he died Tuesday
morning without regaining conscious
ness. The injured young man was
taken to the Max hotel soon after
the shooting and the Max doctor be-
ing out of town, doctor was sum-
moned from Garrison, but was un-
able to do anything for him.
Three of Goodwin's companions, w.
C. Dysen, James Cotton and third
man, all Of them from Illinois and
Iowa, were lined up along box car
by the three bandits and robbed of
their hard earned money, nearly $1OO.
The bandits failed to search the pock-
cts of Goodwin. He carried a GER
tificate Of deposit for $4,000 on the
Farmers State Bank of Columbus, S.
A number of harvest hands had
come into Max at 8 o'clock that even
ing, riding from the south on top of
box cars. Three of the number tried
to interest the others in card tricks
and in gambling, enroute to Max, evi-
IDENTIFY for the purpose of ascertaining
who possessed money. -Four Of the
young men chummed together and
after eating supper, walked down the
railroad yards, looking for a box car
in which to sleep. When they were
in a dark place, three bandits ap-
peared with guns and ordered them
to throw up their hands. Three of
the young men did, but Goodwin said,
"What for?" At that a shot was
fired and Goodwin fell with bullet
thru the head
Harry Dunbar, state enforcement
officer, Sheriff Ole Stefferud and
States Attorney Mike Tollefson of
Mclean county arrived in Max early
Tuesday morning and began an in
vestigation. It was learned that
three men answering the description.
somewhat Of the three bandits, had
slept in a Max rooming house, and
while they appear to have establish
ed a fairly good alibi, it has been
shown that it might have been pos
sible for them to have left the room
ing house by the rear and come back
in. without anyone knowing it.
A coroner's jury, R. 2. Whitesell,
Peter Stohr and Bert Whiting was
called by Justice of the Peace II. R.
Freitag, acting Coroner.
The young man was highly spoken
of by his companions. He was
lad who was never known to swear,
he did not drink and he refused to
work on Sunday. He was hard work
ing and had sent his money back home
at frequent intervals.
The father Of the young man was
notified by wire. Leo Finnegan of
the Van Fleet undertaking establish
ment of Minot, was called to prepare
the remains for burial and it is prob
able they will be shipped to the old
home in Missouri.
At the time this is written, the
three men suspected Of having had
something to do with the crime, have
not been arrested, but they are being
held and whether they will be taken
into custody or not depends on the
verdict of the coronor's jury.

It is difficult for the average Minot
citizen to realize the Importance of
having this magazine edited and print
ed in this city. 1t is necessary for
Mr.. Doolittle to give considerable at
tention to the editing and preparation
of his copy and it is necessary for the

G. F. Truax Sees the West from
'Rubberneck" WAGONS

The following letter was received
from C. F. Truax, who accompanied
by his wife, has been touring the west
for the past month:
"Hoquiam, Wash.
"After leaving Portal and travel
ing across the Canadian prairies for
"a hours, we reached Calgary about
dusk. Were unable to see much of
the city, but the lights were beauti-
full. Here we stopped for half an
hour and then pulled out for Banff,
arriving at this point about l a. m.
At this place, we saw many points
of interest, beautiful waterfalls, the
herds of buffalo, deer and elk, bri-
quetting plant, Lake Minnewanka,
which sports water plane and ex-
cursion boat and other sight seeing
devices. In and about the little city,
you may see autos from every part
of the country. We also visited the
Sulphur Springs at this point and
took the customary cup Of sulphur
water. During the day, we encoun-
tered snow, rain and hail and tho
the weather was somewhat disagree
able, we had a very pleasant day,
for we chartered a covered rubber
neck" wagon and drove about We
put in a full day and part of the
night. The wagons make two trips
to Lake Louise daily, thus giving the
tourists ample time to see all there
is at this point.
Next day we started for Vancouver
E. c., early in the forenoon and had
delightful trip thru the Canadian
Rockies, which are a wonderful sight
to say the least. The r. R. company
put on an open observation car at
Field, small town in the mountains,
and "newsie" acted as instructor,
giving us the names Of all the noun
tains, passes, basins, etc. The high
est piont we reached was at the Great
Divide, two miles and $50 feet above
sea level. At this point there are
two streams of water, one flowing
down one side of the divide and the
other on the opposite. They are
other objects of great interest in
cluding the wonderful Kicking Horse
Pass, Fraser's Canyon and the six
mile tunnel thru which we passed. In
due time, we arrived at Vancouver,
About the first thing which attracted
OuI oIGSIlClOl was tAC 0SAAS ACSt
which lay in the harbor and consisted
of the New York, the Tennessee, Hos
pital ship, Red Cross and six Destroy
ers. In addition to the city being
crowded with the Yankee sailors, the
races were on and about $50 Highland
Scotch Pipers were parading the
streets all playing one tune. An
English lad, just over, headed this
delegations. He said he had not had
good drink since leaving New York
harbor. We stayed at this point
one day only, then boarded the Prin-
cess Charlotte for Victoria where we
spent two hours sightseeing in one
of those "rubberneck' wagons, then
proceeded on our way to Seattle, where
we were met at the dock by Charles
and VIM. Glib, my wife's brothers.
Have met many old time friends from
Minnesota and they are showing US
the city in true western style"

WATKINS DEPUTY IN HOSPITAL
WITH 2S SHOTS IN HEAD, BODY

Barney L. Bussen, member of the
staff of F. l.. Watkins, state enforce
ment officer, lies in st. Joseph's hosp
ital in this city with % buckshot
wounds in his body, as a result of en-
countering five bandits on the high
way four miles west of Mohall at $3.50
o'clock Tuesday morning. John Pow
ers, deputy sheriff of Renville county,
who was accompanying Bussen on a
trip in quest of whiskey runners, was
shot and suffers five buckshot wounds,
none of which is serious. 1t is be-
lieved that Bussen will recover, tho
he is fearfully peppered with the shot.
Mr.. Bussen's wounds are painful and
one of the bullets struck his right eye,
nearly causing the loss of his sight,
but it is believed the eye may be saw
ed.
Bussen and Powers were driving
west from Mohall when they saw a
Ford car approaching. Both cars
stopped within 100 feet Of each other.
Bussen, armed with. a rifle, stepped
from his car into the light of the 9th
er car where he was Immediately shot
down by the bandits who were well
vers and rifles. Bussen had no pos
sible chance to return the fire for the
men in the Ford Immediately took
cover in the shadow of a small grove
close by. Bussen says that four of
the men in the car got out just as he
did and as he started for them to in
vestigate, they started shooting. He
was almost blinded at the first shot
and dropped His rifle, which was found
beside the road next morning. He
had on heavy coat and his revolver
was strapped to him beneath the coat
and hard to get at. Bussen started
for a clump of trees, hoping to get
at his revolver, but was shot down
second time. He lay on the ground as
though dead, knowing the men would
finish him if they thought he was
still alive. They fired at him several
times with revolvers and rifles, but
missed him.
Deputy Sheriff Powers fired as he
fled for the shelter of the trees, but
was wounded, one shot having struck
his nose, penetrating the upper lip.
Another plowed an ugly furrow along
his cheek and pierced the ear. The
third sturck him just below the neck.
The outlaws kept up constant fir
ing for about five minutes, in the
direction of the trees, the shot rid
ding the heavy coat the deputy wore.

capped into the trees and feared to
come out, for he knew he would be
overpowered. Bussen could hear
Powers splitting and thot he was dy'
ing. The men called Powers COW.
ard and tried by taunts to get him
to come out. Finally they took their
own car and the officers Buick road
ster, and disappeared down the road.
They drove close to where Bussen lay.
Bussen tried to get at his revolver
as they passed, but could not as his
arms were so badly shot up. Bussen
was growing weaker from the loss
