a thunder storm, Thomas LeeRoyce
Ikiman is again in. the tolls of the
law and was being held last week at
Benton, Illinois, for Brown county
authorities. Sheriff John J. Reitter
and Assistant County Attorney John
Fordyce, left last week to return the
19-year-old culprit to New Ulm.
1t will be remembered that Ikiman
came to New Ulm on the night of
May 31st, driving a Chevrolet coach
which he said was stolen at Ipswich,
South Dakota, but was later found to
be the property of V. R. Beck of
Lexington, Kentucky. At New Ulm
he abandoned the Chevrolet and stole
a Chrysler sedan belonging to Gilbert
Ziese, Nicollet county farmer.
Ikiman had no more than driven
out of New Ulm when he was caught
at CORTLAND and landed in the Brown
county Jail. Stopping there at a fill
ing station, he was held at the point
Of a gun in the hands of Gust Kraus,
until New Ulm police arrived.
! A speedy trial was given the pri-
soner and he was sentenced not to
exceed two years in the state refor-
matory at St. Cloud. 1t was while
waiting for commitment papers that
the youth made the break for liberty.
The prisoner escaped by using a
piece of pipe fitting to pry off a ven
tilator, and then knocked out a brick
which made room for his head, leav-
ing space not more than nine inches
high and eighteen inches wide.
Ikiman then dropped to the ground
and made his way to the F. w. Blau
ert home where he spied blue Essex
coach, taking the car and continuing
on the way he was travelling when ar
rested at CORTLAND. He still had
possession of the Essex when arrest
ed at Benton, Illinois.

Horsford Is Winner in Nc

Wolf Point, June 26.-Judge o.
F. Goddard of Billings has rem
dered decision in favor of Thorn

missioner, in the suit instituted by
George Conklin, a defeated can

In the November election Hors-

appointed by the county clerk rath-

Judge Goddard ruled that since
the voters had acted in good faith
and were otherwise qualified to
vote that their votes must be
counted. At the trial Mr.. Conklin
was unable to prove charges eth

Montana" Mr.. Lowrie said, els
unusually well provided for in the
matter of transportation facilities
between the mountains and the
coast. The Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific and the Milwau-
kee give access to Portland and Sc
attic. The Union Pacific opens to
the south by way of the Salt Lake
City-Los Angeles line and to San
Francisco by way of the Southern
Pacific and Portland by way of the
o. w. r. & N.
"The Great Northern" Mr.. Low
RE said, ais blessed in that it not
only has access to the chief towns
of Washington and Oregon but it
likewise has a short cut to San
Francisco by reason of a junction
it forms with the Southern Pacific
at Chemult, Ore.
1t is now petitioning the Inter
state Commerce Commission for
permission to build an extension to
connect with like extension of the
Western Pacific at Lookout, Ore.
The Great Northern has trackage
rights over the Southern Pacific
from Chemult to Klamath Falls
and its proposed extension would
commence at the latter town. Dis
cussing this proposal which is be-
ing opposed by the Union Pacific
and the Southern Pacific as well,
Mr.. Lowrie said:
GA great deal of publicity has
recently been given in Montana pa
pers as to the benefits to be de-
rived by Montana people in the
construction of the proposed new
connection of the Great Northern
Western Pacific railroads in south
ern Oregon and northern Californ-
la.
"People of the Montana territory
and of the intermountain section
in general do not seem to be a.
ware of the fact that only during
the past few months connection
was made between the Great Nor
them and the Southern Pacific at
Klamath Falls for interchanging
traffic between California and Mon
tana; that through rates and ser.
vice have been established and this
present connection now in effect
adequately serves the entire terri
tory as it is 7 miles shorter be-
tween California and Montana
points than the proposed new con-
nection would be. No reduction in
rates is offered therefore, Mon
tana cannot be benefited by this
connection.
Comparison between mileage
over existing routes and proposed
duplicate construction of Great
Northern Western Pacific shows:
"San Francisco to Great Falls
via Western Pacific-Great Nor
thern (via Southern Pacific, 70
miles shorter) 1,347 miles.
"San Francisco to Great Falls
via Southern Pacific-Ogden-O. S.
Line-Butte-G Great Northern Opt
miles shorter) 1,347 miles.
"The Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific feel that the proposed new
line is wasteful duplication and
that they wuold be negligent in
their duty to patrons and the in
vesting public generally were they
to sit idly by and not express their
views as to benefits to be derived
in Montana"

Old Brick Salvaged From
Round House Sold at ST.
Per Thousand to Citizens

Wolf Point, June 22.-With the
tearing down of 20 stalls of the
Great Northern's 25-stall round
house here, there has developed a
new industry at Wolf Point, an
industry that is responsible in part
for much building that is now go
ing on.
The railroad company is selling
the bricks from the RACED round
house for 81 thousand, but these
bricks must be cleaned and a crew
of or 10 men has been busy for
several weeks at scraping mortar
from bricks.
AS a result of these operations,
brick piles are seen all over town
and new chimneys, brick walks,
basement walks and foundations
have been built out of brick.
L. M. Clayton has built a COM
modious garage and Richard
Schaale has contracted for 10000

Sunday the Medicine Lake team

ed IL to Z. The result of this
game was rather surprising as the
teams had met before and Medi-
cine Lake won by a comfortable
margin. Arkansas Slim was on the
the mound for Medicine Lake but
his slants were not very puzzling
for Reserve batters. The locals
climbed on to his offerings in the
first inning and kept hitting them
in the general direction of Califor-
mia until he was derricked in the
fifth inning. A youngster named
Rolly then took up the burden and
finished the game with fair sue

DIMIINUTIVE BAD
MAN TERRORIZES
CHICAGO POLICE
Desperate Killer Active in Early
Morning HOurs-Milk Drivers
and Take Chauffeurs Suffer-Is
Accredited with Five ShoOtings.

Chicago, June PA will-o-the-
whisp robber fitted about in early
morning hours relieving milk wag-
on drivers and taxi chauffeurs of
their cash. A cab driver was
shown a picture of Willie Doody,
gunman, police slayer mail robber
and quarry of a determined man
hunt.
"He threatened to kill me-" said
the cab driver. "Told me was his
thirteenth victim today, that't the
man."
And the hunt for the bad man
went on.
Milton Valasapoulis "a restaurant
teur died of bullet wounds inflicted
by diminuative robber in a hold
up Thursday.
"Doody," said a witness because
a short time before the robbery
a policeman who was shot down
and badly wounded, had pointed to
''Baby Face Willie's" photograph
as that of his assailant.
A downtown theatre is held up,
phantom car speeds through the
night "a tiny robber pokes his gun
into someone's ribs and lifts his
purse-"Doody" someone cries.
Hysteria, perhaps, and the fear
of the desperate killer have made
every victim see in his attacker the
midget fugitive. But with each
fresh report of shooting and rob-
berry the Chicago police take grim
hold of their revolvers, for they
believe that Willie Doody -four or
five notches already on his gun, is
out to "get the cops"
Five shootings they would have

Chief of Police Charles Lazy of
