SHERIFF HAS I. !.
TWO Of ! GANG

Sheriff Thos. Hennessy ard three
deputies spent the greater part Of the
past week hunting for the robbers and
rnurderers who killed night watchman
Peterson at Westhope q couple 6f
weeks ago and as result two men,
one by the name Of Earl L. Kyle OF
Kenmare and ID the other Oklahoma
Kid of Elk City, Oklay are now III the
county Jail at Bottineau. ~ a. :.
s The above two bandits were cap
tured at Kenn1are and Minot and have
confessed to being at Westhope in
company with men called Blackie and
White, but these men here in the
county jail say they had nothing to do
with the robbery or shooting but claim
that Blackie and White robbed the
hardware and shot Mr.. Peterson, while
Kyle and the Kid guarded the car on
the outskirts Of Westhope. The Kid
also claims that Kyle cut the wires
leading into Westhope. =, g. ! T.
The car, a Buick turing car is in
the hands of the sheriff and a 32-4O
calibre rifle, which is the same size
as the rifle taken from the Meddaugh
Hardware is also at the court house.
The sheriffs force were but a few
hours behind the other two men on
Saturday when they were hiding south
OF Minot, In company with three 9th
ser members Of the gang but although
the sheriffs force remained near their
hiding place for some time nothing
further is known Of them. However
both Blackie and Whiteie have marks
about them which should aid in their
capture. ....
All northwestern towns Of North
Dakota have been notified by the
Sheriff to be on the lookout for these
two men and it is likely they will be
captured before long.

Quoting a social survey Of the~local

mum of organization and minimum
of organizations. For this reason a
series sof community nights will be
held at intervals Of two weeks begin
ming with the last week in October.
Organized programs will be presented
and community singing will conclude
each program.
The Orchestra, which will organize
this week, is to include anyone who
can at least read music. The matter
of technic in the particular instru-
ment is immaterial at this time. 1t is
hoped that a twenty-five piece orches-
ira can be formed. The plan is to
conduct Sunday afternoon concerts
from November to March. The former
band will be used as a nucleus for the
formation Of the orchestra. There is
a large amount of latent talent which
is needed at this TING.
The third event which this survey
will attempt is the Community Eve
ing School. This will definitely open
Friday evening October n. Anyone In
admissible to this school, A small fee

vanced work carrying credit in the

es will be offered. English for those
who can neither read nor write, inter-
mediate English for those who wish
to improve their English, Citizenship,

Citizenship for native born Americans
and any course offered by the Normal
school, providing sufficient number of
people are willing to register for the
course. Bulletins will announce the
exact titles of the courses to be Of
fered next. week.
An attempt will be made to organize
the community to the extent that
there will be a maximum Of recreation
and instruction. Organizations will be-
come; cooperative and coordinate to
the extent that every event IN Botti-
neau will be well patronized. 1t might
be mentioned here that the connnnun-
ity programs are free, as we'll as mem

At Assembly Exercises last Monday
morning Mr.. Grace discussed the ne
gro problem. In his analysis of the
problem he brought out the fact that
the American people, despite their ad-
missable affirmative characteristics
Of optimism, humanitarianism, moral
integrity, Justice, love of fair play,
and a multitude of desirable attributes
are possessed of any insidious imper~
fectionsa important Of these are iLdi-
ference, prepossession and procrastin-
alton. The negro problem, beginning
as early as 1919 has grown 70 the ex-
tent that today there are nearly H.
000, 900 of this group in America. The
negro problem seems to be a eombin-
alton of many. problems among which
racial prejudice, amalgamation Of
races, equality in labor, education and
social life seem to be the most import
ant aspects. -.
The De Koven. Club has begun regu-
lar rehearals each Monday evening.
This is the fifth year this Club has
held its meetings Monday evenings

is desired il not interfering with
