DACMAR STORE
ROBBED SUNDAY

The Farmers Cooperative store at
Dagmar was burglarized early Sun
day morning and the safe blown.
The yeggs, four in number, OBJ
tanned $100 in cash and several hund-
red in checks but these were thrown
away on the road a short distance
west of Dagmar.
These parties are said to be known
to the sheriff's office, and it is
claimed that one Riley, who was al
legedly implicated in the Devils Lake
postoffice robbery and the holdup o1
the Foxholm, N. D., bank some time
ago, is the leader.
The yeggs drive a Nash touring
car, it is said, and they are believed
to be headed for the western part o.
the state.
A shotgun, with a supply of am
munition, was also taken from tn
store but no other goods were lost.

LOSES HOUSE BY FIRE

Information has been received by
the Producers News that the home
of U. G. Farmhouse, Jr., who is well
known here, was burned to the
ground September 7th at Grand June

the household goods were saved with
the exception of some clothes which
were hanging on a line in the path
of the fire. Fortunately the house
was insured and will be rebuilt by
the insurance company.

The livestock special train is being

of directing attention to the import

some of the more important princi

successful.
The train carries no "blue blooded"
show stock. Every animal, every ex-
hibit, every demonstration will be of
strictly practical nature intended
solely to carry message which farm
ers and stockmen can follow to ad-
vantage on their farms and ranches
The stories which the exhibits will
tell, will deal with bulls, bucks anC
boars, with grasses, feeds, pastures

The demonstrations and exhibits Of
the train will be of a particular sig

of the farmers, stockmen and busi
ness men here who are making ever
effort to make the arrival of tn
train one of the best attended ga
therings ever held here. Wheat pre-
