REMINGTON NEWS

AS compensation for the paving of West Robbins avenue from Rob- bins station to Newington avenue under state supervision in 1922, the own of Newington will receive $15,- 100 and the state will take over this section of the highway. A definite plan has been arranged by the state highway commissioner and con- mittee composed of residents of the town, First Selectman James c. Gill bert, Selectman George Churchill, Richard H. Erwin, Elmer w. Pape, and Everett A. Elliott.
 The cost of paving the street was about s24,0O0 and on October 15 the state will pay the town $7,5o0 and assume control of half of the road. The second half will be taken over October 15. 1928. at which time s7.5O0 more will be paid to the town. The amount of com- pensation is less than what was expected but there is possibility that by future legislation, an addi- tional amount will be awarded.
 The town must either accept or reject the plan by appropriating s5.- 900 to be added to the fund of Sl5,- 900.

This history of sharkey's battles in the ring, doesn't add to the claim of the Boston boy against Dempsey. In fact. after reading through the list one Is certainly inclined to be- lieve that Dempsey is right when he says that the only fault that sharkey has, is that he hasn't the courage.

Two years ago while watching sharkey in action. Flynn came to the conclusion that sharkey couldn't take it" in the stomach.

LED AT HOSPITAL

Probably one Of the finest and
most up-to-date X-Ray machines in
this part of the state has been in
stalled at the Sheridan County Me
mortal Hospital by Drs. Steele. Robb.
Campbell and Gustafson.
The new machine while containing
all the latest improvements in X-Rav
researches is movable and can he
rolled from one room to another
This is a great improvement in itself
over the old style X-Ray which could
be used in only one position and ne
.cessitated moving the patient which
many times entails serious results as
well as inconvenience.
A man from the factory installed
the machine and showed the doctors
all the new improved devices and
how to accomplish certain results
Drs. Steele, Robb, Campbell and
Gustafson are to be congratulated or
their enterprise in giving the people
of this and surrounding comnounity
an opportunity to have access to tbis
most useful machine without going f

State Commissions Oppose
That the directors of the two north
west roads will not have as smooth
sailing as they at first anticipated
was evidenced VIII en- representa-
tives of the scOnsin, Mime
sofa and Iowa Railroad Com
mission and several others put in
an appearance. The Milwaukee coun-
sci was there also and asked some
pertinent questions. A letter from
Frank Edwards, Montana railroad ex-
pert was also received opposing the
merger. Resolutions from the Mon
tana Federation of Labor vOicing a
protest from a large portion of the
population of that stat ewas received
some time ago and the president of
that organization was notified to be
present.
G. n. Experts Testify
Most of the time so far has been
taken up with the testimony Of Great
Northern officials and experts in fav-
or of the merger. One witness claim
ed that if the merger went through
there would be saving of $3,O0O,00O
in the consolidation of terminals.
This estimate was given by F. e.
Williamson, vice-president of tn e
Northern Pacific in charge of opera
ton, in testifying at the commission S
hearing on the petition of the two
Northern roads for permission to uni
fly them and the Spokane, Portland
and Seattle railway.
Many common points are served by
| the two roads, the witness pointed
out, and the union of terminals, with
some incidental rearrangements of
resvice and abandonment of trackage,
would save S3,O00,0O0 "under conserv-
ative estimates"
Preceding Mr.. Williamson on the
witness stand today, was J. R. Davis,
chief engineers of the Great Northern,
who detailed "as examples of saw
ings," certain economies that could be
effected under unification in the hand
ling of gravel, ties and other construc-
tion material.
In the matter of gravel alone, Mr.
Davis said, rerouting of supplies from
all the beds now owned by the two
roads would make possible an annual
saving of S20,409, with another item
of $6,950 saved annually in the handl-
ing of ties.

ter sent in to the Commission by
Frank Edwards of Montana:

How 1t Happened
Three men, dressed like farmers,
entered the bank at 10 in the morning
and ordered Banker Koester and Miss
Pullman Rick, one of the clerks, to
step into the vault. Koester at once
put up his hands and showed no re-
slstance and In every way complied
with the orders of the bandits.
While one bandit was quietly re-
questing the banker to step into the
vault another ordered several custom
ers who were in the bank at the time
to "stick their hands up.
The customers, seeing that there
was no resistance on the part Of Koes-
ter, did as they were told and one
man, Martin Brekke, was forced to
lie on the floor face downwards.
The bandits then scooped up a sum
OF money variOusly estimated at from
$1,000 to $4,000 which was living in
a manner which was convenient for
them to take.
kOester Says He Lost $2,16O.OO
After the robbery occurred, Mr..
Rooster locked his bank for several
hours during which he would not di-
vulge to the outside world the amount
of the robbery. After working on his
books for a long time he said the bank
was short $3.50. After the man who
had gathered up the cash was finished,
the three men ran for the car outside
where one man stood guard and had
the engine running.
Shots Exchanged
Meanwhile little boy had notified
Marshall GoOdlaxon about the strange
happenings In the bank. He opened
fire and is supposed to have broken
the rear window 0w the Sedan. The
bandits returned the fire and the

the bandit sedan barely escaped a

towards Outlook by Nick Rueter. The

that it went in a northerly direction
towards the Canadian border.
Posses Busy
When the news reached Plentywood,
the Sheriff's office put every avail
able man on the track of the robbers.
Citizens took our their cars and scour-
ed the adjoining roads. Jack Bennett,
Carl Bull and Herman krogman vail
