MAYNARD VAN DORSTEN
is UNDER ARREST

Monday evening following COM
plant the sheriff's office and county
attorney instituted a search and
found two barrels of "mash" and ten
new automobile castings on the farm
known as the Michigan farm. When
caught Mr.. Van Dorsten implicated
Torvak Peterson and "Blacy" as the
ones connected with him and the real
operators. Later others have been
implicated and it would seem as
though there is chance for a gen.
eral cleanup on this affair. Just
where the tires came from is hard
to say but both the Serr Garage and
the garage at Client have been en-
tered and things taken from them of
late. The Client garage are missing
several castings. Maynard was taken
to Redwood Falls Monday evening
Deputy Frank Murphy was with the
sheriff's force when they made the
catch.
There has been a number of cases
reported at Milroy where things have
been stolen. Serr Bros. had six
tube radio stolen within the past five
week. Entrance was made through
the rear window. A 4-tube Radiola
was taken from the postoffice. Peter
Dress had a number of articles stol-
en- last falls If Maynard is implicat-
ed in all probabilities he will make
confession that might be of consid-
cradle help in getting other clues.
The sheriff at Marshall was notified
to take into custody Torval Peterson
and the "Black" but at this writing
they had not been found.-Milroy

Students At "U" Reveal
Higher Ability; Better Work

The University of Minnesota has
better students than it had four years
ago, and they are doing better work.
This, in brief, is the gist of re-
port made to President Coffman as a
result of three tests that have been
applied to members of the freshman
and sophomore classes.
College ability test results indicat-
ed a marked increase in ability among
students in 1927 as compared with
those of the three preceding years,
showing that 81 per cent of the fresh
men and sophomore students did as
well or better, in the tests, than had
the average student of 1924.
This being true, President Cotfman
sought to know whether students
were performing in accordance with
their indicated greater ability.
eff they were not" he said, "some-
thing would be wrong. 1t would show
either that students were not work.
ing. that teaching was below par, or
that the marking system had become
infleXible."
Fortunately study of student &C
complishments to match that Of stu
dent ability, showed that Minnesota
students were doing better work.
Statistics gathered as to the number
on probation at the close of the fall
quarter showed marked decrease,
and there was also found to have
been a decrease in the number of
students dropped at the end of the
fall quarter for failure to do salts
factory work.
In the fall of 1924 the deans plac-
ed ia per cent of all freshmen and
figure sank to 9.S per cent in 1925;
9.7 per cent in 1926 and 8.8 per cent
last fall. Among the women students
81 per cent were placed on probation
in 1924; 81 per cent in 1925; 60 per-
cent, the best figure yet.
The number of women students
dropped at the end of the fall quarter
rose from "a per cent in 1924 to 3.3
per cent in 1925; sank back to "a
per cent in 1926 and last fall decreas-
ed further to flat 2 per cent.
Among the men an unchanged per-
centage of 5.5 per cent were dropped
at the end of the fall quarters in the
years 1924 and 1925. This fell to 80
per cent in 1926 and took big drop
to A per cent last fall.
eve are feeling happy, not only
over the improved ability of students
at the University, but over their i'm
proved performance" President Coff-
man said.

ASPHYXIATION DEATH

Two children in the George Kimp-
ling family of Montevideo narrowly
escaped death by asphyxiation Tues
day afternoon of last week when the
family was on the way to town. Mr..
and Mrs. Kimpling were sitting in
the front seat of their Ford sedan and
the four children, age from four years
to seven months, were in the back
seat. About five miles from town on
The Clara City road, they heard their
two-year-old boy make an odd noise
They looked around and saw him and
the youngest child, girl, lying un-
conscious.
They stopped the car and took the
children out, attempting to revive
them by shaking them and walking
around in the open air, but to no
avail. Much frightened, they hurried
to town, covering the five miles in
record time.
They arrived in Doctor Smiths of
flee about 4:30, with the two uncon-
scious children After shot in the
arm, both were revived and apparent
ly were none the worse, although they
were bound to feel some i'll effects
later. The other two children were
not affected in the least.
Mr.. and Mrs Kimpling could not
understand how the two children
could have been overcome by gas, as
one window in the sedan was wide
open and another had the glass brok-
en- out, so there was no lack of circu-
lation of -Montevideo News.
