ing the abduction Saturday night of
Rev. Thomas Irwin, pastor of the first
Presbyterian church who was found
lying in a mud filled ditch II miles
east of here early Sunday morning,
bound and gagged and in a semi con-
scious condition.
Rev. Irwin, whose removal is sought

pool, exhibited motion pictures in his
church and preached the funeral SER
mon over Jake D. Hamon, more than
year ago, is to be tried by his pres

fore five persons in an automobile

Store Of L. Solomon Of Sci
lick Avenue, is Robbed
Last Night.
$1,000 WORTH OF GOODS
Burglary Similar to Minor Ones
of the Kind Reported
to the Police.

Another of the dry goods robberies
which have been battling the police for
the last few weeks, occurred last night
when burglar broke into the store Of
L. Solomon, 1116 Selleck avenue, and
cleaned the shelves Of about $1,000
worth of goods The place was broken
into at some hour during the night or
early morning and was not discovered
until Solomon went down to open the
store today. He found that the store
had already been opened for him by
another-a an unwelcome assistant. The
proprietor was appalled, when he sur
veyed the shelves which he had left
well stocked last night and saw that
they had been stripped of their con-
tents and left bare.
Front Door Jimmied.
Solomon sent a call to the police sta
ton which was answered by Secretary
Meissner and Officer Schmitt. The Off
GERS found that the burglar had en-
tered the store by jimmying the front
door, and left no doubt of his having
made clean sweep inside. Among the
inventory Of goods taken were noted
underwear, coats, curtain goods, dress
material, women's coats and other
wearing apparel. There appeared to be
no doubt but that the burglar had OPP
Grated with the help of an automobile
to get away with the loot Meanwhile
the little store was crippled and Solo
mon stated that the burglars had taken
enough to send him out of business.
Similar to Other Robberies.
For the last five weeks similar burg
laries on tailor shops have suggested
to the police that burglars who are
specializing in wearing apparel, have
made Kenosha their objective. A close
watch has been kept by police on tailor
shops, not usually considered serious
game by burglars. The other robberies
reported have been minor ones, how
ever. Last nights robbery of the Solo,
mon store was the climax of the series.
Owing to the fact that the discovery
was not made until this morning of the
robbery of the store last night the
thieves had an excellent chance to
make their escape by automobile dur
ing the night. The ghost crew. of
the police department, which patrols
the streets with vigilance during the
early morning hours, failed to discover
suspicious truck or car last night.

Soldier Students
Aid This Village

McGrath, Minn.-This thriving farm
ing town is virtually assured one of
the most unique farming projects in
the United States as the result of a
recent visit here Of former soldiers
students at the Government vocational
training, school at Minneapolis, who
propose to purchase a tract of $500
acres of land near here to develop
farms for themselves.
The former servicemen, r46 in mum
ber are more or less disabled as q re-
suit of army service, and have beer
studying agriculture at the training
school. As the course stipulates that
they must devote certain period to
practical application of their schooling
it was suggested to the men by Prof
B. D. Mayne Of the training school that
they acquire the title to farm lands
and pay for it with the salary and ex-
pense moneys to which they are en-
titled under the provisions of the vo-
cational training law.
Various parts of the state were Wis
tied in quest of "a desirable location
but none was suitable Finally they
visited McGrath. Immediately they
were interested by Ernest o. Buehler
president of the McGrath State Bank
who has made it possible for the men
to purchase tract Of $500 acres seven
miles north of here.
According to the plan proposed by
Prof. Mayne, the students will pur-
chase the land in one tract and then
apportion it out, each farm being
separate. Should the local tract be
chosen it is planned to house the men
in three sets of farm buildings now on
the tract.
When the tract is, finally settled
and prepared for cultivation it is
planned to build a set of community
buildings at central location and
establish a new town. The land lies
in rich eutover section and is said
to be adapted for general farming
especially dairying and poultry rails
ing.
I'M. ]. Thompson of Duluth, super
visor of the northeast state expert
ment station and head Of the land
clearing department. of the University
of Minnesota, will cooperate with the
agricultural school in assisting the
men to arrange rotation of crops
for the new farm center.

FIERCE FIGHTING in
BATTLE FOR PEKING
General WI Forces the Fighting as the
Tide Turns Toward Eastern
Walls of City.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wlre.)
Peking-The battle for the posses
sion of Picking was still continuing to-
day with the advantage apparently go
ing to the forces Of Gen. WI Pei Flu.
driving toward the capital from the
south. Advices from the center of the
fighting, IL miles southwest of the
city, were that Gen. WI was forcing
the soldiers of Gen. Chang Tso Lin
from Chang Sin Tien and that the tide
Of battle was rolling eastward toward
the southern walls of Picking.
WI Pei Fu's army this afternoon had
arrived at point on the railroad be-
tween Peking and Tien Tsin. The tele-
graph staff at the station at Feng Tai
reported that soldiers were approach
ing. Part of WI Pei Fu's army was
reported marching across the country
to attack Chang Tso Lin south of Tien
Tsin. Gen. Chaig is personally occupy
ing a special train at Chung Liang
Chen, midway between Tien Tsin and
Taku. Ira c between Peking and the
sea consequently has been blocked.
The Portuguese minister here, who
is dean of the diplomatic corps, filed g
protest asserting that this was a viola
tion of the 1901 protocol. He said I'M
less the line was opened Immediately,
the allies would be compelled to guard
the railroad, The protocol provides
for uninterrupted traffic between Pek-
ing and Shan Hal Kuan, which is the
northeast terminus of the great wall.
Fighting around Peking has dimin-
ished as result of the retirement of
Chang Tso Inns army from the imme-
date vicinity. Chinese inhabitants said
today the wounded and dead found out
side the walls of the city indicated the
fercest fighting that had taken place
in recent history.

Patsy Forte, aged 81 years, a member
Of the firm Of Forte Brothers, owners
of a grocery store located at as North
Rowland layenue was instantly killed
at $3.50 o'clock this morning when he
was struck by southbound freight
train on the Chicago and Northwestern
freight line Just south of the depot
at Balm station. The man was thrown
under the wheels Of the locomotive,
his right arm being cut from the body.
His body was thrown between the
tracks where it was found by mem
bers of the train crew.. He ha suffered
fractured skull and was badly bruis-
ed about the neck and shoulders, any
one Of the injuries being enough to
have caused his death.
The train was stopped within 100
yards Of the scene of the accident and
members of the train crew rushed to
aid the victim of the iccident. When
they reached, the body, the man was
dead; it is believed that he was killed
instantly.
Was Carrying Sack of Potatoes.
The grocer had left his store in Ke-
nosha just at 9 o'clock to deliver. some
potatoes to a family living near Balm
Station. He had parked his delivery
car near the depot and shouldering a
sack containing two bushels of pota-
toes had started to walk down the
tracks, The freight train was a spe-
cial train and had orders to stop be-
yond Balm Station to take on coal and
water. Consequently the train was
not proceeding at a high rate of speed
when the accident occurred.
The engineer on the train declared
that he saw Forte walking between the
double tracks and staggering some
what under the load he was carrying.
The whistle was sounded several times
but the man did not look back. AS
the engine neared him, he apparently
became confused and stepped imme-
diately in its path.
The air brakes were put on and
the train was halted Immediately. Cor
oner Parker was notified and the train
held pending his arrival to give in
structions regarding the disposition Of
the body.
Brothers Reach Scene.
Meanwhile the bad news of the trag-
edy had travelled fast and Frank and
Angelo Forte, two of the brothers OF
the victim, had learned of the accident
and had hurried to Balm Station. The

coroner, the remains had been taken
from under the train and placed in the
basket to be carried to the ambulance
While the investigation was being
carried on by the corner, the two

protestations Of grief threw themselves
upon the body of their brother. They
