advance, so familiar did the men
appear with the layout. That
they had their getaway all plan
ned is also evident in the course
they took over which there was
little or no danger that they would
be cut off. 1t was a definite job
of timing on their part that they
got to the Wilbaux country at
dusk and were on that account
able to evade the waiting officials
who hoped to cut them off and
capture them.
Gray Brothers Arraigned
Sidney, May 6.-Oliver and Her
bert Gray, brothers, and Stewart
Gray, not related to them, were
arraigned in court here Monday
morning and pleaded not guilty to
a charge of robbing the bank at
Fairyiew last Thursday. They
are held in Jail under $4,000 each

vide. All three formerly were of
this city but are now living in
Glendive, where they were arrest

Five Men Arrested
Gendiye, May Give men are
under arrest here in connection
with the robbery, last week, of the
bank at Fairview. They are Ste
wart and Bob Gray, brothers, Otis
and Herbert Gray, also brothers,
and Arthur Baker. The Grays
are residents of Glendive. Bak-
er's home is at Miles City, Sheriff
Art Holland said. So far as he
knows, Holland said, the two sets
of Gray brothers r not related.
Holland said an automobile,
abandoned in the Montana bad
lands northwest of here, had been
identified as the car in which the
bank robbers left FairvleW. 1t
was said to have been stolen at
Dickinson, N. D., prior to the rob-
berry. The five men were seen
riding in the machine before it
was abandoned, Holland said.
Three of the suspects have been
taken to Sidney. The arrests
were made by Sheriff Holland and
Sheriff Ted O'Brien of Sidney.
Get One al Miles City
Sidney, May Arthur Baker,
picked up in Miles City, is being
held by Sheriff O'Brien in connec-
ton with the recent FairvleW
State Bank robbery along with
three others charged with being
a party to the robbery. This
makes the fourth arrest in con-
nection with the affair with other
arrests expected to follow soon,
according to O'Brien, who this
evening gave out his first and only
statement regarding the matter.
All will appear in district court
Thursday morning when a direct
information will be filed. 1t is
rumored that the defense has en-
ployed Miles City counsel and Will
fight the case.
The car in which the bandits
made their escape from the rob-
berry was brought into town Tues
day with a damaged visor, along
with paint marks received when
run through the bridge gates in
the getaway. O'Brien, picking up
the trail where darkness conceal
ed it the evening of the robbery,
covered the section with a COMP
and located the hangout OF the
alleged gang where evidence OF
the robbery was found, then FOL

where it was discovered that the
car used for the job had been
stolen at Dickinson, N. D., some
days before. Through a chain of
circumstances the four defendants
we're picked up. O'Brien, always
r~eticent, claims to have built an
alright case against the men. A
reported confession of Baker is
being denied by authorities.

AS l sit at my piano
And my fingers strike the keys
That carry out a melody of
A hymn that's dear to me,
seem to see my Mother
And hear her lovely voice,
AS she sings He is my Savior"
Her always favorite choice.
She also sings a lullaby
OF Childhood sweet and pure,
And, oh, so many other songs
OF bygone days. of yore.
Her angelic voice is ringing,
hear it sweetly now,
My Motheri Oh, my Mother!
Could you but know, somehow
How very much we miss you
Since you have gone away.
Your voice is stilled, your sleep is sweet
But we shall meet someday.
Oh. Mother Mine, to be like you,
To bear with patience too, the pain,
The sorrow and the grief that you,
Dear Mother, knew.
You were my teacher and my guide,
With me you always bore
When would grieve with childhood FRANKS
Till you could scarce endure.
A smile was always on your brow
When l to you would go
With all my trials and my care,
And you would always know y
Just how to soothe my aching heart
And tighten all my woe.
Oh Mine!Sweet Mother Mine,
You will wake when the world is new,
When all is Love and Sunshine"
And the skies are always blue.
When Jesus reigns in righteousness"
And we love our fellow men,
We will join once again in that glad refrain
That you taught me when l was ten.
It's peace on Earth" yes,
blessed Peace" we will sing it DER and oel
And forget the pain and sorrow,
Caused by bygone days of yore.

was waved out the side window
as the a shot by and, crashing
through the closed gate at the
east end, sped on.
Fairview authorities had called
up Cartwright apprising that town
of the robbery and that the band
its were headed that way. The
man who received the message
had just hung up the receiver and
stepped out the door to see what
he could see when the bandit car
swung through town at terrific
speed and crossing the tracks tore
over the road leading south to
ward Beach and Wilbaux. John
ston was pursuing them unarmed
and alone. Stopping at Cart
wright he was Joined by a couple
of the citizens of that place, the
pursuit party before starting
from there arming themselves
with high-powered rifles.
Harry Anderson, standing in the
Fairview Pharmacy door when
the robbers entered the waiting
car from the side door of the
bank, saw them and noting the
gunnysack and their apparent
hurry, knew that something was
wrong. He told Bert Frank and
together they went across to the
bank and Mr.. Frank turned the
knob on the vault door, releasing
the prisoners therein.
A good description of the men
had not been gotten by anyone
inside the bank as the thing hap
pened so quickly that no n had
time to gather his wits and size
them up before being ordered to
lie face down on the floor. A
false move would probably have
meant death and none of them
ventured to dare the robbers in
their desperation.
Officers Give Chase
AS soon as he was out OF the
vault, President Thompson notified
the sheriff's office here of the rob
berry and Deputies Al Payne and
Leslie Lowering were in Fairyiew
within As minutes after the band
its had left. Sheriff O'Brien and
Night Waterman Harry Combes
left hurriedly in the sheriffs car
for the Wibaux and Beach country
to try to cut off the escape of the
robbers.
The last word received was that
Ralph Johnston and the Cart
wright men had followed the
bandit car to within three miles
of Wibaux where in the dusk OF
the evening it disappeared from
their sight.
Several motorists saw the car
going into Fairview and it is from
them that the most reliable des-
cription is obtained. Harry Pey'
ton and a companion driving here
from Williston saw what they
were certain was the car at the
filling station at Cartwright. The
gas tank was evidently filled to
capacity for a long getaway run.
A travelling man following the
car and passing it as he approach
ed Fairview, said when he got
close to it the back curtain was
pulled down quickly but that he
thought nothing of it, making the
deduction that the occupants OF
the car were taking a nip" from
a bottle and were too modest to
pose themselves in the act.
The only description obtainable
of the two men who entered the
bank is that they were well dress
ed. No one saw the driver of the
a clearly enough to offer a des-
cription of him, except for the de-
tail that he wore goggles.
There can be little doubt but
that the robbery was planned in

URGES FULLER SKIRTS
FOR WOMEN PAST FORTY

Women past forty should wear
fuller skirts than the ordinary
styles so that they can sit down
gracefully, says Jane Warren
Wells, fashion expert, who has
just returned from Paris.
Dresses fitted to the personal
ity as well as the hips and waist
will keep friends permanently
guessing as to woma1's actual
age in years." says Mrs. Warren,
writing of her discoveries in Farm
& Fireside. "The sleeveless, back
less frocks, so popular with young
people today, should be definitely
avoided by the woman who has
arms too large or too thin to be
attractive,"0 she continues. "Such
types are sure to find comfort in
the little jackets made of the same
fabric as the dress. They are be-
coming and conceal so beautifully
any imperfections.
SLENDER mature women will de-
light in the fashionable berthas
that adorn shoulders and provide
a soft, graceful line. Thin chests
will find lacy, soft jabots a veri-
table boon and the surplice-front
closing proves a friend to the thin
and stout as it makes the front
line less severe and gives interest
to an otherwise simple dress.
Irregular hemlines allow
happy compromise in skirt lengths
and should be taken advantage Of
by older women. They are espec-
tally becoming for women with
good taste in shoes and who buy
with discrimination stockings of
the right color and who take pride
in seeing that there are no wrink-
les."
