Bandits Steal the Town
Marshal at Mora, Mimi.
Cash and Five Cases of Whiskey
Stolen-Officer Released When
Yeggs Reach Minneapolis

Mora, MIMI, Jan. GA band of
yeggs terrorized this town early
today, entered four places and
captured the town marshal, whom
they bound and gagged and car
ried to Minneapolis.
The loot from the places entered
consisted of $40 in cash, five
cases of whiskey, quantity of Gig
arettes and an old army revolver.
About 2 a. M, today Godfrey
Andrist, the town marshal, was
making the rounds, and near the
Farmers Cooperative Creamery,
he noticed a parked car with sew
eral persons sitting in it. He ap-
preached the car, when, he says,
three men got out, and at the
point of guns, forced him into the
car and bound and gagged him.
Leaving one man to watch the
marshal, the other two entered the
creamery, where they obtained ap-
proximately $118. They then drove
to the Mora drug store, where they
got another $50 in cash and five
cases of whiskey. The next place
entered was the postoffice, where
the yeggs broke off the dial of the
safe, but failed to enter the inner
section.

o'clock, when his right had be
came entangled in The rollers of the
feed mill, badly mangIing it. Irwin
was making some adjustments ON
the machine, when he lost his foot
ing and fell forward, his right hand
coming in contact with the rollers.
His escape from having his entire
arm drawn into the rollers is mar
veled at. He was taken TO a physi-
clan Immediately, where it was
found necessary to amputate the
little finger just below the first
joint. Two other fingers were SO
badly mutilated that it is uncertain
as yet wether they can be saved
intact or not. The wounds were
dressed and he was taken to his
home where at this writing he is
resting as easy as can be expected.

Gasoline Causes Excite
ment at Geo. Barnard Home
Lady of the House Slightly Burned
and Fire was Extinguished
After Nominal Damage.

Mrs. George Barnard had thrill
ling experience Tuesday morning
after II o'clock, while starting the
gasoline range. The fire was some
what overgenerated and the blaze
ignited newspapers which Mrs.
Barnard had hung up about the
stove. She grabbed small rug
from the floor and attempted to
put out the flames. In doing so she
knocked the papers on the floor.
Little George Junior, 6 years old,
grabbed Ia dish cloth and attempted
to put out the newspaper blaze.
His rag was set on fire, and he
threw it striking his mother in the
face, burning her slightly. The rug
in the meantime, was set fire and
Mrs. Barnard kicked it onto the
rear porch. To make the situation
more precarious the rug landed on
top of two filled gasoline cans, one
of which did not have the cap
screwed on. Mrs. Barnard hustled
in an ALARM, and got out of the
house. The department responded
very quickly and the flames were
put out with only nominal damage
to house and contents.
Mrs. Barnard's injuries are very
slight. Mr.. Barnard was in Mime
apolis at the time and did not
know about the excitement at his
home until after his arrival home
on the 7:15 bus.

FORMER RESIDENT
DIED in CALIFORNIA
Mrs. Samuel Herbert Buried
in Greenwood, Sank
Centre, Tuesday
NEARLY sc YEARS OLD
Funeral Of Jacob Sieben
Saturday Morning Very
Largely Attended
Mrs. Samuel Herbert

Mrs. Samuel Herbert, an aged
pioneer of Stearns county, passed
away on January 8, 1928, at her
home in San Luis Obispo, Calfor-
MIA.
Miss Ellen Hibbard was born on
June IS, 1912, at Sturgis, Mich.
She grew to womanhood in her
native city and on December 16,
1867, was united in marriage to
Samuel Herbert. Subsequently
they migrated to Minnesota in
1868 and settled on farm near
West Union, where they lived for
about "a years. On Sept. 7, 1901,
Mr.. Herbert passed away and fol-
lowing his death Mrs. Herbert
moved to Sank Centre. She re-
sided in this city for few years
after which she went to San Luis
Obispo to live with a son, J. w.
Herbert.
The deceased is survived by two
sons, L. M. Herbert, of Worthing-
ton, Mimi, and J. w. Herbert, of
San Luis Obispo, Cal. There are
also five grandchildren, all living,
and a niece, Mrs. George Grund-
man ,of Sank Centre.
Mrs. Herbert was of genial
nature, "a devoted wife and home
maker. She was an active mem
Ter of the Congregational church
here and was ever active in church
affairs until the declining years
impeded her work. She was also
a member of tn local Gradatim
Club and Eastern Star The death
of such an amiable woman is sore
ly regretted by those with whom
she associated.
Funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 10, at 2
o'clock, with Rev. C. S. Sparkes,
officiating. The pail bearers were

Merchants Bank
Has Fine Year
Officers and Directors Reelected
and 10 Per Cent Dividend
Declared

At the annual meeting of the
Merchants National Bank of this
city held Tuesday of this week the
old directors were reelected, as
follows: d. B. Caughren, C. R.
Bruce, A. F. Strebel. H. A. Caugh-
rem and S. C.. Bjone. A dividend
of 10 per cent was voted.
At the directors meeting follow
ing the following officers were re.
elected: President, D. B. Caugh-
rem; vice president, c. R. Bruce
vice president and cashier, A. F.
Strebel; assistant cashiers, j. H /.
Hansen, "A. L. McDermond and
R. j. Schoenhoff.
In discussing conditions Presi-
dent Caughren is quite optimistic
of the future. He said:
"My optimism in 1928 is found
ed upon facts and developments in
present business conditions which
promise most satisfactory progress
in business affair in the months
ahead" said D. B. Caughren OF
the Merchants National Bank yes
terday when asked his opinion of
the outlook for 1928.
America has $52,000,O00,O0O
of the worlds S84,00O,OO0,O0
bank deposits and we're just get
ting started.
"Crops this year have been larg-
er that at first anticipated and
there is money for larger purchas-
es than there has been in several
years.
s'Money market conditions at the
present time are highly favorable.
Tax reduction should do it's bit for
1928, too.
"It may not be a sensational
year in business at all, but there is
every reason to believe it will be
most satisfactory one for almost
all lines of trade. Altogether the
outlook is a favorable one for all
who are willing to give their best
efforts to their individual job"

Rebuilt Highways Cost
New York More Than New
Reconstruction Greater Per Mile
and in Totals; Many Changes
Necessary

The New York state highway de-
partment spent $18,000,000 for
new construction $21, 100000 for
reconstruction during 1927, ac-
cording to figures recently releas-
ed. The construction contracts
covered 315 miles and reconstruc-
ton contracts $50 miles. The av-
erage contract price on new con-
struction was $4,000 per mile
and the average on reconstruction
was $4,000.
Apparently it is costing more to
rebuild old highways than it costs
to build new ones. Not only is the
total for reconstruction greater
than the amount spent for new
construction, but the cost per mile
is greater.
MANY of New York's highways
were laid out and improved before
the present standards of align
ment, grades and widths had been
adopted. The cost of relocation
and building bridges to do away
with grade crossings also enters
into the reconstruction.
"There is no worse waste than
building inadequate highways and
calling it economy" says C.. M.
Babcock, commissioner of highways
of Minnesota. Gin fixing the per-
manent location of our trunk high
ways and building the grades, we
aim to build them so that it will
not be necessary to rebuild them.
Gravel roads of course must be
resurfaced frequently and as traffic
increases some of the routes may
have to be widened, but this does
not cost nearly as much as where
it is necessary to reconstruct a
road that was improperly built in
the first place.

UNUSUAL ACCIDENT

Wednesday evening as Kenneth
