necessary permission.
Ralph Penrosc will be buried tomor-
row from the house where he was shot.
Opinion in the ncighborhood is crys-
tallizing in favor Of Norman. the gem
eral opinion being he fired the shot in
the heat of fear and anger and without
actually intending to injure, let alone
kill his brother.
The father of the boys. Samuel Pen .

yesterday accompanied by his other son
Cyril. After they had talked with Nor

in front Of Newell. one OF the men kept
him covered with a pistol while the
other searched his pockets and removed
the cash OF days collections.
Another Of the men stood up right
in the machine and Kept watch for ap-
preaching autOmobilists or police.
The robbery completed, the two ac-

in the car, the gears slid in and the ma

who saw it had had time to make u
| move.
Two hours later the car was found

Show What Merchants Are
Doing for Shoppers

Wednesdays the day they give
merchandise away-so to speak
and the public is going to get the
benefits from the Dollar Day plan
which the local merchants put into
effect November 2. In order to make
the newly instituted idea success
in every way and to attract hundreds
of shoppers from outside Bemidjl,
the merchants who have entered into
this new plan, which takes the place
of the regular monthly Market Day
plan, are literally giving away mer-
chandise. A portion Of nearly every
sale will be given away and the mer-
chants are putting that amount on
the debit side of their accounts mere
ly to show shoppers that their trade
is desired above anything else.
Nearly every industrious merchant
in the city has entered into the new
idea and is concentrating on the one
object-making this city trade cen
ter of this section of the state.
In this issue may be found the ad-
vertisements of these enterprising
business men and a glance at any
one of them will convince the buy
ing public that the bargains offered
are rare indeed. How can the mer-
chants afford to do it? That question
