he and two comapnions were driving
UP to the fire district at McGrath,
turned completely over at dangerous

travelling at fast speed when the &C
cident occurred, was left standing on
its wheels again after the turnover.
The party, which included John
Berg, Richard Fuller and Jackson, left
Atwater at noon for the fire region.
Richard Fuller, the driver Of the car
invited the other two to go along and
help him protect some property that
was threatened by the flames. They
decided to go through St. Cloud and
on up to the district. Fuller was in
the front seat, Jackson and Berg
occupied the rear cushion.
The death of Jackson occurred with
in two minutes after the car had
righted itself, the upper portion OF
his body having been crushed. Berg
reported a slight bruise on his leg, but
aside from that, neither of Jackson's
partners were injured.
The body was removed to the Sch

Local Machine Gunners
Return From MCGrath
Sank Centre Guardsmen Render Val
liant Service in Subduing Fire
in Stricken District

The Sank Centre Machine Gun Co.,
returned Saturday noon from their
little sojourn in the fire stricken dis
trict of Minnesota.
The unit was quartered at Nc
Grath and in conjunction with the
companies from Long Prairie, St.
Cloud and Alexandria, they formed a
provisional company. All together
there were 600 guardsmen located at
McGrath, making four of these pro-
visional units.
The first two days of their sojourn
at McGrath, the Sank Centre boys
were assigned to fighting fire in the
vicinity of Solana, small village on
the 500. After strenuous work this
town was saved. The balance of
their time was given over to back-fr-
ing. -
Lieut.. Scott states that the Sank
Centre company acquitted themselves
with credit. All the guardsmen at
McGrath were fed from one mess and
the food provided was ample and the
quality good. The boys were quart
cred in box cars.
Gov. Preus was on the ground much
of the time and took personal charge
of the fire fighting. He was ably as
sisted by Adjt. Gen. Rhinow and
Forestry Commissioner Cox and their
aides. The local machine gunners
are enthusiastic over the treatment
they received while away.

MOTHER CENTRAL
.MINN.BANK ROBBERY
QUARTET OF YEGGS STEAL s2.o0a
FROM NASHUA BANK TUES
DAY MORNING /
HOLD UP THE STATION AGENT
BANDITS PROBABLY PASS THRU
! SAUK CENTRE IN THEIR,
GETAWAY +

Fergus Falls, MINI. Sept. 12-Ban-
dts early today robbed the 500 line
station at Nashua, 80 miles southwest
of here, and blew the safe of the State
Bank there, obtaining $4,000. They
escaped in an automobile.
The bandits held up Station Agent
Downey about 2 a. M, and locked him
in box-car. They robbed the station
cash drawer of 3d. SO and then broke
into the bank. The blast that opened
the safe aroused residents, but the
bandits escaped.
1t is probable that the bandits re-
ferred to in the obove dispatch passed
through Sank Centre Tuesday fore
noon headed for the Twin Cities. The
sheriff and a deputy from Wilkin
county arrived in the city just about
noon Tuesday searching for the eul-
prits.
Upon their arrival here Chief of
Police Joe Miller advised them to tele-
phone out in different directions and
have officers on the watch for them.
At last reports the criminals had not
been apprehended.
While only meager information re-
garding the robbery itself has been
given out, rather detailed descriptions
of the men is at hand. A passerby
who saw the quartette as they were
making their getaway, described one
man as being tall and slim and q Sec
ond member of the group as short and
stout. The fact that the latter man
is believed to be Nashua character
known as mickey" would indicate
that resident gangsters performed the
work. The car was Ford.
That combined effort should be
made to check further robberies Of
banks and stores in this district is the
remedy suggested by F. P. Betten-
ty. Since August 80 there have been
burg, deputy sheriff of Stearns coun-
four burglaries. On that date, the ST..
Martin bank was entered and $4,000
carried off. The following night the
Clear Lake store was entered and a
quantity of merchandise stolen. At an
early hour last Friday morning, rob-
bers secured $4,000 worth Of merchan-
disc at the Lindgren store at Month
cello. The thievery at Nashua this
morning registers the fourth of the
series.
According to advices from the pro-
tective department of the Minnesota
Bankers association, thorough hunt
for the raiders will be carried on. A
number of special police are being en-
listed to aid in the drive. Two of the
men who are believed to be implicated
in the Clear Lake and St. Martin af-
fairs are in jail at Gaylord at present
waiting the pronouncement of sem
tence.

Washington, Sept. 13-Reductions

tie, hogs and sheep in the opinion of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Twill prove Of material benefit to the
western livestock raisers who have
been heavily affected by the rapid de-
cline in livestock prices since July
1920"
The commission expressed belief
in announcing it had authorized the
reductions proposed by the carriers
which will become effective September
20 and amount to 20 per cent in cases
where the present rates are higher
than SO cents a hundred pounds but
in no case decrease the rate below SO
cents a hundred.
Under the new tariffs, practically
all rates from points west OF the Mis-
souri, river to Chicago and from all
points west Of the Rocky Mountains
to the Missouri River will be reduced
in amounts ranging from one to Is
cents hundred pounds. Similar re-
auctions in all other livestock rates
now higher than SO cents a hundred
pounds are to be made, the commits
sion said. In many cases, it was said
the entire increase made in August
1920 will be eliminated by the new tar
ifs. The commission estimated that
the decreases would mean an annual
reduction of revenues from carriers OF
$1O,000,00O.
