Capture Two, 30 Five Bandits
~& Who Have Terrified City
!; for Two Months
GANG. USES SAWED-OFF
SHOT GUNS AS WEAPON
Arrest of Two Follows Second
'sfa Attempt to Enter Park
Theater Early Today
(By United Press)

St. Paul, July 17-Police early
today captured two of five shot
gun bandits, who have terrified the
twin cities for the last two months.
Patrolman Allen shot and seriously
wounded John Ryan of Kansas City
in a gun battle at Park theater., Roy
Freeman, alias Frank Miller, was
captured by a police gun squad as
he was running from the place.
, The two men captured by the
police belonged to the first gang
to adopt sawed-off shot guns as a
weapon, it was ,belived. In each of
the more than a dozen hold-ups in
Minneapolis in the last six weeks
the gangs used sawed-off shot guns.
The police estimate that the loot
would total between $4,000 to
$35, 1000. Among the robberies were
The Montgomery-Ward & Cos.
plant, six theaters, the Fleischman
Yeast Company, Standard Oil COM
pany's warehouse, Standard Oil COM
pany's office and two filling sta
tions. Police feel that the gang is
the same one that held up man
and a girl in the Standard Oil COM
pany's office Sunday and escaped
with $4,000 in cash.
Following an attempt by the gang
to rob the Park theater three weeks
ago, Chief of Police Sommers sta
toned patrolman at the theater
to watch for a second attempt. Pa
trolman Allen was in the theater
just at day-break today as the band
it's cut hole through the door and
entered. Allen fired two shots, the
second breaking Ryan's leg. Allen
said one man ran west and two men
ran east. One of the police gun
squads, including Detective Putnam,
Smith Schultz and Meyers happened
along and saw a man running between
the houses nearby carrying a shot
gun and revolver. He proved to be

CONSOLIDATED DITCH
HEARINGS DISMISSED
Dismissal of Proceedings Meets
With Hearty Approval
in This District

Judge Grindeland has filed an Or
der in the proceedings on Judicial
Ditch No. l. abandoning the hearing
to be held at Thief River Falls on
July 18th, and stating that the hear
ing at Warren, to be held on July
25th, will not be had upon the or
iginal petition, but merely for the
purpose of considering the advs-
ability of modified petition for the
drainage of lands in what is known
as the Thief Lake district in Mar
shall County.
This ditch proceeding involved
the expenditure Of approximately
81, 100000, about a half a million
dollars of which would have been
borne by Beltrami county.
Under the direction Of the Coun-
ty Board of Bcltrami County COM
mittee composed of Edward Paulson
chairman, A. d. Johnson, auditor;
VIM. Evcrts, county ditch engineer
and Graham M. Torrance, county
attorney, have appeared at two pre-
vious hearings and have objected to
the project, so far as Beltrami
County is concerned, on the ground
that the lands in this county, sought
to be assessed for this project. are
already assessed for ditch liens for
all or more than they can bear.
The dmissal Of these proceedings
so far as Beltram county is concern
ed, is matter that meets with the
heartiest approval Of the taxpayers
in the district sought to be assessed
for this drainage system, and the
county board and the individual
members Of the committee are en-
titled to vote Of thanks from the
people Of the entire county for their
efforts, and for the results they
have secured.

SCHOOL HEADS MEETING :.
TO TALK LEGISLATION
Unorganized Territories and
Large Districts Are Being
Discussed at Duluth r.

County Superintendent of Schools
]. c. McGhee left early this morn
ing for Duluth where he was to meet
at the Commercial club at noon with
the county superintendent having
unorganized territory and the SUI
perintendents having districts of
ten or more townships. The object
of the meeting is to discuss legis-
lation favorable to such districts.
At the State Teachers college this
summer, a number or speeches were
made favoring the County system,
The unorganized territory and these
large districts come the nearest to
representing the County System of
education. For a great many years
educators have been planning for
such a system.
The present officers of the unor-
ganized territory are: j. C. McGhee
clerk; Earl Cell, treasurer; Edward
Paulson, chairman. That their ad-
ministration is satisfactory is prov
en- by the fact that since Mr.. Nc
Ghee has been county superinten-
dent only one petition has been re-
ceived for taking territory out of
this district by the people living in
the district while those in organized
districts have petitioned to be set
into this district.
During the past four years sew
eral building have been erected and
equipped for State Aid, the term
has been heightened to eight months
and greater number of first grade
teachers employed. Forty-seven
teachers were employed last year,
and children transported from three
others. During that time the enroll
ment has increased 20 per cent, the
total days of attendance, 81 per
cent. The financial condition Of the
district is also much BETTER

Figures of Bureau ofs Census
Show 31,614,269 on Farms
...' January I, 1920 /
FARM CENSUS FIGURED
ALONE FOR FIRST TIME
Farm Population of Minnesota
Given at 897,1s1, or 37.6
Per Cent of Total

Washington. D. c., July 1.-THE
Department Of Commerce announces
that, according to the Fourteeith
Decennial Census, the farm popula-
ton of the United States on Jan
uary 1, 1920, was 31,614,269, or
300 per cent of the total population
Of the country on that date. Of this
number, 31,353,640 were enumera-
ted in rural territory and 255, 1929
on farms located within the limits
of cities and other incorporated
places having $500 inhabitants or,
more. It may be noted in this con-
nection that the census definition
Of farm extends somewhat beyond
the ordinary meaning of the term
in that it includes any fruit or mark
ct garden. poultry yard, dairy or
.apiary which either yielded $3.50
worth of products in 1919 or re-
quired for its operation the contin-
uous services Of at least one person
during that year. The farm popu-
lation comprises both farm operators
and farm laborers and their fami-
lies, including farm laborers and
their families not actually living on
farms, but not living in incorporate
ed places.
Since the rural population as de-
fined in the census in
cludes incorporated Cities villages,
ETC., having fewer than $500 in
habitants, unincorporated hamlets,
mining regions. and other areas
not devoted to agriculture, it is not
surprising to find that only 81 per
cent of the total rural population
as thus far defined is farm popula-
ton, and that while nearly one
half of the inhabitants of the Uni
ted States are rural residents. only
about three-tenths are living on
farms. T.,
The census of 1920 was the first
at which the population living on
farms was tabulated separately from
the rural population as whole, and
therefore no comparative figures
for earlier censes can be given.
The proportion which the, farm.
population formed of the total in :,
the individual states ranged from;
II per cent in Mississippi to Is
per cent in Rhode Island. In IL states
