Strangers Have
Too Much Money
Five Men With $1,000 and Artillery
and Woman Rounded Up At
| Grand Rapids

Raiding a north woods hideout
near Grand Rapids, Mimi, sher-
ifs posse armed with machine
guns rounded up five men and a
woman and seized an arsenal of
shotguns, automatic rifles and pis-
tolls.
Sheriff Elmer Madison, of Grand
Rapids, who led the roundup, said
he also confiscated $4,000 in new
bank notes, found on two members
of the gang. He said he has OBJ
tanned bank robbery confessions
from the two, but declined to give
further details. Two men still are
being sought near Grand Rapids
as accomplices.
The two who signed confessions,
he said, will be brought to Mime
apolis for questioning by Hennepin
county authorities. It was believed
they are involved in the robbery
two weeks ago of the Security Ma
tional bank at Hopkins.
The prisoners were rounded up
late Sunday, by posse of Itasca
county farmers. The arrests were
the outgrowth of a tip to the Min
neapolis police department that a
car bearing suspicious persons"
was lettering at a cabin near
, Grand Rapids. In the raid the
posse seized two automobiles, one
with Illinois plates, the other with
a Minnesota license.
Two of the prisoners are former
inmates of Saltwater penitentiary,

The men who have been employ
ed building the new Third street
sewer were taken off the script
basis Wednesday evening.
Under the new arrangement they
cannot work more than 80 hours
per week but they will receive S.
cents per hour.
The Federal government plans to
employ 100000 men for at least
100 days on public work in various
parts of the United States.
The Sank Centre City Council
met Wednesday evening to outline
a plan of public work to take ad-
vantage of the Governments pro-
gram. l....
Nothing definite was decided.
The Federal representatives are
trying to rush things. The sewer
catch basins starting at Fifth and
Main and following the storm sew

street was laid will he repaired
These catch basins have been pub
lie monstrocities causing the prop
erty owners and residents great an
noyance and expense several times
each year.
The Council has long desired to
enlarge the City Park and improve
the bathing beach at the park. This
government work plan will give
them an opportunity to do this
work. Definite steps were not TAX
en-, however, last evening.
It is expected that at least $10,.
900 will be distributed by the Fed.

Many Adverse Factors Are
Creeping Into Hog Market
Decidedly Lower Prices to Farmer
Prevail-No Immediate
Relief In Sight

Many adverse factors have crep
into the livestock market during
the past week which have left thu
trade, especially on hogs, more OF
less an uncertainty, states The
weekly market bulletin of the Cen
trail Cooperative Association al
South st. Paul.
First Of all, a strike and furth
er threatened strikes on the part 0.
South st. Paul packing house em
ployees caused packers to pur
chase hogs cautiously.
Secondly, sellers and packers a
Chicago, the basic market of the
country, have been in a deadlock
for the past week. Packers were
bidding lower while hogs moved
into government hands for deliv
cry to relief agencies at steady
prices. This government support
was not given to the markets. Con
isequently, packers who have beer
buying large numbers of hogs di
rect from farmers at country buy
ing stations were in position tc
force prices lower than the mar
kets or refuse to buy at all.
Another depressing factor which
is seasonal at this time of the veal
is the approaching poultry season
which tends to curtail demand fol
meat animals. Retail meat stores
in the large cities are advertising
turkeys, chickens, ducks and geese
rather than beef, pork and mutton
This has tended to depress the live
stock market and prices at South
st. Paul on hogs were forced be-
low the $500 market
Because of the depressed mar
ket and uncertain conditions pre-
vailing, the Central Cooperative
Association advises it's patrons tt
hold back their shipments until the
situation clears UP.
Stocks of pork held in cold stor
age plants of the United States
are not considered burdensome, &C
cording to the latest statistical re
ports. In fact, pork supplies are
as near to a normal quantity as
they have been for many months
On November 1, there were 1913 mil
lion pounds of pork in storage, OF
137 million pounds less than &
month previous, and only Is pei
cent more than year ago.

be received from the members of
the church and Sunday School for

giving baskets. Donors are asked

sermon will be preached by Rev.
Morgan at this service on the topic,
''Can We Give Thanks in 1888"
The robed choir will render music

Drivers Are Warned
About Fractures

Today

st. Paul, Nov. 13-One common
automobile injury could be avoided
easily if all drivers would keep their
left arms off the window sill of the
car door.
This warning to drivers is part

'The name, traffic fracture has
been more or less arbitrarily select
ed to describe type of serious in
jury that could be prevented very
easily but which has become in
|creasingly common during the past
two or three years." the doctors de-
clare in this bulletin. '"This acct
dent is the direct result of the fool
lsh tendency on the part of practic-
ally all drivers to rest their left ell
bows on the open window sill of
the left front car door. When the
elbow is there it is exposed to the
hazards of traffic preceding in the
opposite direction.
practically all states attempt to
regulate the width as well as the
length and axle loading of trucks
using public highways. Neverthe-
less there is an increasing tendency
to build wider truck bodies. These
bodies protrude, sometimes as much
as three feet beyond the confines of
the cab and truck bed, and it is of
ten not only difficult but impossible
to estimate the width of the ap-
preaching vehicle, particularly at
night and if blinded by glazing head
lights.
1.-THE unconscious tendency to hug
the middle of the road makes it
possible for the leading edge of
these truck bodies to strike the
forearm as it extends with elbow
fixed from the window of the car
without the truck drivers know
