Optimism over the outcome of
the election for the seat in the
United States senate now held by
Frank Kellogg was the expression,
carried by Anna Dickie Olesen
throughout her speech at the Arm

ering of 5000 voters of Mankato

torship in the last thirteen weeks

amid the roars and cheers of the
audience "
The woman candidate for the
senator's seat from Minnesota was
introduced to the audience by John
q. Regan. county chairman in Blue
Earth county. Mayor John Cannon
of Hibbing, scheduled to speak did
not appear, and Thomas JEFFERSON

"old time democrat" spoke in his
place.

took exception to a speech recently
made by Shipstead, nom partisan
candidate, in which the Federal Re
serve banks " ere assailed. McDer-
mott declared that the Federal
bank was one Of the greatest
achievements of the nation. He
stated that during the time Federal

ton that not more than six or
seven banks had failed. He went
back to several years ago when as
high as twenty banks, had failed
during a year. He lauded William

ROAD BANK roll
LESS BY S34.25
Employee For Omaha At
East Henderson Held Up
SCENE AT EARLY MORN
M. j. McGeough, Night Opera
tor, Looked Into Opening
of Revolver

M. J. McGeough, night operator
OF the Omaha road at East Hender-
son, was held up at the point of q
gun at 1910 o'clock this morning
in the telegraph office, and the cash
drawer was robbed of $34.25 in
cash. The bandit went through the
pockets of Mr.. McGeough but only
found small amount of change on
the person of the operator, and re-
fused to take that.
According to the statement of A
Liden, special agent of the Omaha
read, to The Free Press, the bandit
was a short shabbily dressed man.
Mr.. McGeough was, busily engaged
over the telegraph keys, just as
Omaha passenger train No. was
erson. He was somewhat startled
when the short dirty faced bandit
told him to stick EN- up" The
man had but little to say, but
kept Mr.. McGeough covered all or
the time with a blue steel pistol.
AS soon as he got the operator with
his hands in the air, the bandit
stepped over to the telephone wires
and cut them, thus preventing
Mr.. McGeough from sending mes
sage to the Henderson police acfo Il
the river. Then he busted himself
with the cash drawer and rified it
of $34.25.
Wouldn't Take Operators Money
While the bandit had no hesitancy
in taking the money of the COM
pany, he seemed to have shown
some consideration for the poor,
for he refused to take any of the
operators small amount of cash.
The description of the bandit as
given by Mr.. MsGeough is that he
was short man had about weeks
feet tall, his face had about a weeks
growth of beard, he had on q shah
by blue serge suit, a blue cap and
wore blue overalls.
According to the statement of
Officer Lden, the man was seen in
both Belle PlaineS and Blakeley yes
terday. From the latter pla
has been determined that he walk
ed to East Henderson, then rode
the blind baggage of Omaha train
No. IL to LIE Sueur and then doubl-
ed back on Omaha train No. Is to
East Henderson and held up the
depot just as Omaha train No. 3
was passing through there
The bandit was supposed to have
headed for Mankato, and today the
officers at this city we're on the
lookout for him. S.

lAssociated Press Dispatch.I
Chicago October 26.-Four direct
hits on the home of Francis C. Far
well in the exclusive Lake Forest
district with inch and half by four
inch steel jacketed shells, with duds
falling on nearby estates of other
wealthy residents of the North
Shore suburb, today was the sub
ject of an inquiry by army officers at
Fort Sheridan. None of the FarweE
family was at home when the shells
burst yesterday, but two maids
were frightened badly, and shells
also hit near two male caretakers.
One explanation was that the
troops being drilled in the handling
of one FOUNDER either made an err
ror In direction or greatly overshot
their target. Brigadier General
George Vanhorn Moseley, comman
der of the sixth corps area. began an
immediate investigation. Captain
Waldo Evans, commanding at the
Great Lakes naval training station
said there had been no gunfire from
there, nor had. there been any firing
from warships or airplanes.
One of the shells penetrated the
roof of the Farwell home, another
went through the wall of a bedroom
and two more entered through the
basement.
