Thieves Rob
Askov Places
Take Cigarettes, Watches, Oil and
Cash from Variety Store and Fill
ling Station Tuesday Night.

Two of Askov's business places eX-
perienced another one of the period
ical visits of petty thieves Tuesday
night and the proprietors have since
been checking up on the losses. The
Askov Variety Store and Elmer Nor
gensen's service statiofSare the two
places which were raio.sd and these
same places were victims of the last
raid here by thieves.
Entrance was made into the Var
iety store through the coal shute and
up the basement stairs through the
inside door which was. pried and
Clipped considerably by screw
driver or some other similar instru-
ment. Entrance was finally made
into the main store and the loss, as
checked so far, includes three wrist
watches, two or three pen and pencil
sets, knives, some cigars, two or three
thousand cigarettes, S. or Sc in
change from the cash register and
possibly some other items of value
not checked at this time. The best
grade of cigarettes was taken and
some of the cheaper kinds were left
on the shelf nearby-a good taste,
nevertheless.
Breaking into the east window of
the filling station the thieves stole
five-gallon can and two quart bot
ties of the best oil. thus using better
judgment than one would like to
credit to a human parasite of this
sort. They also apparently sensed
the possibility of coin being inside
of a gum machine and carried that
apparatus away with them, to be re-
paid for their efforts in the amount
of about 81.
Evidently the yeggs did not need to
drive any great distance for even
though they had the keys to the gas
pumps while in the filling station,
they did not touch the pumps. This
fact would indicate that either they
had plenty or that they were not
going any place. Tire tracks at the
filling station would indicate that
they were of the 30x31a size.
The sheriff was notified and came
Wednesday night to investigate, but
no clue is yet reported.
Rob Pay Station.
The Askov Telephone company's pay
station in the Pelton Shoe store at
Bruno was broken into one night last
week and the cash taken and damage
done to the station amounts to $44.S5.
So far this robbery has not been
solved.
Further checking Thursday morn.
ing on the AskOv Variety Store loss
shows that about 50 necktfes were
also taken.

the act of turning to the north to-
ward Askov when the two cars COL
lided. The Underhill car rolled over
two or three times while the Hogan
car remained upright.
Mr.. Underhill suffered two broken
ribs and his two passengers were cut
and bruised somewhat Mr.. Hogan
was only slightly bruised. All, how
ever, are about their work, but both
cars were hauled into the Underhill
Garage at Sandstone in badly
wrecked condition. Mr.. Hogan was
brought to Askov by A. G. Danielson
where he received medical attention
before continuing to his home. The
cars were both insured.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

At a time when American presi-
Dental candidates find it expedient to
say as little as possible about the for
eign war debts to the United States,
and when the Washington government
serves notice upon the world that
it will participate in the forthcom-
ing international economic confer
ence in London only on condition that
nothing is to be said about this deli
cate question, the three principal
debtors are forcing it into the fore
ground.
Between April 1917, and November,
1920, twenty foreign nations borrowed
between II and IL billion dollars from
the United States; only two have paid
back their loans, namely Cuba and
Liberia; fifteen nations have funded
their Indebtedness. and three have
done nothing about the matter.
Originally the total sum was S11,
S67, $4,000; of this principal, $685.
900, 000-plus interest amounting to
$1,000, 900, 0OO-has been paid, that is,
altogether, $2,627, 100000
French Position.
This week the war-debt situation is
once more becoming acute, for France
is hesitating about the next step to
be taken. That country owes the
United States about four billion dollars
but the present attitude of the Paris
government is that it may be willing
to pay on December 10 an interest
charge of 90 million dollars.
Premier Edouard Herriot wishes it
understood, however, that such pay
ment, if made, applies only to what
he considers commercial debt, that
is, the 400 million dollars which his
country owes the United States for
war stocks
The larger part of the Indebtedness

money advanced to France for the
purpose of carrying on her part of the
world war, and feels that such debts

TEIGAN, KVALE
SPEAK OCT. %
Congressional Candidates Will Discuss
Issues of the Campaign at Pine
City Friday Evening.

Citizens of the Pine City commun-
ity or from any distance folks may
come, will have the opportunity on
Friday evening, Oct. 2Sth, to hear
two candidates for Congress on the
Farmer-Labor ticket. The meeting
will begin at s O'Clock and will be
held at the village hall.
The speakers will be Henry G. Tel
gan, editor of the Farmer-Labor
Leader, and Congressman Paul John
Kvale.
Editor Teigan who is a leader in
the progressive movement and during
the past twenty years has devoted his
time to economic and political re-
form, will dwell upon the Frazier
farm refinancing bill. which would
make loans on farm mortgages at
11a% interest and 112% amortization
payments. Realizing that interest
rates is an important question to be
solved and that interest on farm loans
bears down heavily, Mr. Teigan is
very strong for the Frazier bill or
some other like legislation which will
give relief to the farmers on interest
and have wholesome bearing on all
interest rates in the country.
Congressman Kvale who suffered a
physical breakdown in his campaign
a week ago is expected to have re-
covered enough to be able to speak
at Pine City Friday evening. He will
dwell on legislation concerning the
eX-service man, being in Washington
when the bonus forces were evicted
from that city. The congressman will
also speak on other legislation and
issues of the day, he having fought
shoulder to shoulder with the pro-
gressive forces at the national capitol.

LONE BANDIT
IS AT LARGE
Second Hold-Up of First
State Bank of FinlaySOn
in Six Years.
Believed to be Same Ban,
dit Who Held Up Wright
Bank Recently.

Held up twice in six years is the
record held by the First State Bank
of Finlayson. The lone bandit who
robbed the bank of something over
81 900 Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock
apparently has faired better than the
five men who robbed the bank back
in 1926-fOur Of whom were caught
within As hours and the fifth member
got into the hands of the law last
January.
The lone robber who entered the
bank last Friday was dressed in
overalls, is about 40. dark complex
toned, and five feet, eight inches in
height. The description checks with
the bandit who robbed the bank at
Wright a few weeks ago and it is
thought he is the same person.
H. e. Shafer, president of the bank,
and Victor E. Shafer, his son, cashier,
were in the bank when the bandit
entered At the point of a gun he
ordered the cash handed over. That
completed, he locked the men in the
vault and left in a Chevrolet coach.

vault and spread the alarm. Ed Arth,
proprietor of the feed store, and Syl-
vester Petry, garageman. followed the
bandit east to the pavement where
he had stopped to change clothes.
They were ordered back home at the
point of revolver. Since then no
trace of the robber has been dis
covered.
Sheriff Hannes Rypkema and as
sistants, sheriffs from neighboring
counties, detectives from the Mime
sofa Bankers Association, and men
from the Bureau of Criminal Appre-
hension are working on the case.
The Finlayson bank is insured
against robbery so suffers no direct
loss from the experience.

PIONEER
is FOUND DEAD
Karl Frahs, Living I'm South Edge Of
Village Dies Suddenly Sat
urday Night.

The AskOv community was sad
dened Sunday when it was learned
that one of its pioneers, Karl Frahs,
had been found dead in his home on
the south edge of the village. Mr..
Frahs, father of Julius and Henry
of this community, had suffered with
asthma for the past nine years. How
ever, he had been able to help his
son. Henry, who lives nearby, consider
ably about his farm. 1t was at that
place that he had worked Saturday,
being brought home, apparently in his
usual health Saturday night after
supper. When he did not appear Sum-
day morning before noon Henry went
to his house and found him dead,
lying across the bed in full dress,
having apparently attempted to take
his hat from his head before he died.
1t was estimated by the doctor that
he had passed away some time Sat-
urday night, presumably before mid
night.
Mr.. Frahs was born in eastern Ger
many January %, 1857, being at the
time of his cath, Is years and nine
months of age. He came to the United
States in February, 1882, and to Askov
while it was yet called Partridge,
where he had since helped build up
the farming community. After arriv-
ing in this country and before COM
ing to Pine county the deceased had
resided at Cleveland, Ohio, and at
Sleepy Eye, Mimi, for IA years.
Mrs. Frahs preceded her husband
in death 10 years ago on Oct. 1, 1919.
Two children also passed on before.
Four sons remain to mourn their
fathers passing. They are Julius and
Henry of Askov, Herman of Buffalo,
N. Y, and William, whose address at
present is unknown.
The funeral was held from the
home at o'clock Tuesday afternoon
and from the Danish Lutheran church
in Askov at 2:30 with the Rev. A. e.
Frost officiating. Johannes Juhl,
Hans Clausen, f. A. E. Laage, Hans
Mikkelsen, Hans Paulsen and Fred
johnson, all old neighbors, laid the

oldest pioneers, will be missed greatly
in the community and a large circle
of friends will extend condolences to
the stricken relatives in their hour
of deep sorrow.
