tor. the market Spectator, was back
with his family Thursday, but was
in a serious condition, suffering from
q nervous breakdown.
Released just before midnight
Wednesday in suburban La Grange,
Factor, who Is reputed to have made
big money In the markets, told a
story Of mistreatment by his captors,
but denied, as did members of his
family, that any ransom had been
paid.
Later, however, he disclosed that
$4,000 In five and ten dollar bills was
paid for his freedom.
Unshaven ana disappearing In
other respects, the man who Is want

tel, where he told Captain Gilbert

that his abductors had demanded
100000 ransom and had threatened
him with machine guns and pair
Of scissors when he told them he
couldn't raise the money.
A farm house, northwest of Chi
cago was believed by Factor. to have
been his place of imprisonment, but
he was not certain because during
the entire period of his captivity he
was blindfolded with tape, which was
not removed until a few minutes be-
fore his release.
He was driven to La Grange in an
automobile with three men. Other
members Of the gang were In two
other cars, one preceding and one
following the machine IN which Fac
tor rode.
Factor said there were 10 or IS
hoodlums in the gang that held him.

after he left an outlying roadhouse

taken to basement, alive with bugs.
After one night there he was re-
moved to the farmhouse, where he
was held until Wednesday night. It
was several hours between the time
Of the departure from the house and
his release.

ed At Window, Minn., For
N. D. Officials

Hlllsboro, N. D., July l3-R-A
prisoner held In Window, Mimi, was
identified by Jesse Lerom, bookkeeper
in the Buxton First National Bank, as
one Of the bandits who participated
in the robbery of the bank MAY z

killed.
Lerom, with Sheriff A. j. Osmon
and States Attorney G. McLain

lively identified the prisoner as the

gave his name as Jess Clemens of
Omaha. He denied ever having been
in North Dakota.
Clemens IS being held in Window
for Minnesota bank robbery and, If

not be prosecuted by North Dakota
authorities. II he is not convicted,
an attempt will be made to bring him
to this state for trial in the Buxton

st. Cloud was believed to be the one
used in the Buxton robbery, Johnson
said.

s. D., when informed Floyd Lingle,
Britton, 8. D., was held there as sus-
pect in the Buxton robbery. Lingle
was set free when the N. D. men

new LABOR TROUBLE
THREATENS WORK ON
CAPITOL STRUCTURE
Union lathers Claim Non.Union
Men Are Working on Job
For Low Wages

Trouble again threatens between
workers and contractors on the state
capitol Job and before 1t Is settled
may result in general strike of all
workers affiliated with organized la
Dor now employed there. it was
learned Thursday.
Labor difficulties came to a head
Thursday morning when the sub.
contractor under the Lundorf -Bick-
nell company, put five non-union
latherS to work and refused to recog-
ni0e union fathers who have been
living IN Bismarck for several weeks
with the expectation of going to work
when the lathing started, those with
cut jobs asserted.
The union fathers claim that the
scale of wages being paid to the al
legged non-union workers Is 10 cents
per hour while the union scale for the
work Is SIPS per hour. The union
fathers are affiliated with the Bill
irgs, Mont. local which has jurisdic-
ton over this part of the country. The
nearest local union to the east Is at
Minneapolis and the scale is the same
as the Billings scale. The union men
explain that owing to the fact thaS.
there are not many wire and metal
fathers in North Dakota the local
unions in the west cover wide area
and the members are more or less
migratory. They said If there were
local union In North Dakota they
would affiliate with 1t.
Attack Restriction
The workers claim that they were
told by Inspector E. M. Nelson that
only North Dakota labor would be
employed on the Job, but they con-
tend that organized labor Is not
necessarily bound by that rule as their
work Is seasonal and they travel
around the country from Job to Job.
One of the union men stated that he
was an ex-service man, citizen OF
the United States and did not know
that it was necessary to get pass
port from one state to another in Or
der to procure employment. The men

On Tuesday number Of morgan
lied workers staged demonstration
on the capitol grounds protesting
against the use Of ditch digging ma
chine being used by the Haggart Con-
struction company Of Fargo which is
installing water main between the
new capitol and the city mains on
north Sixth street. They were
stopped from going onto the work by
the fence that has been erected
around the new building but served
notice that they would be back when
the machine got beyond the fence
The demonstrators carried banners
and paraded on the road In front OF
the governors office in the Memorial
building. The digging machine passed
the dead line set by the workers
Thursday morning but no demonstra-
ton resulted.

about eight years, and each year we
have attempted to sponsor some one
worthwhile activity in our COM

Boys Band, Boy Scout organization,
and others, have been encouraged
by the Rotary organization.
Our Board of Directors met early
in January to select some activity
for 1888. and it was suggested and

During these periods of economic

Last week meeting was held In

how to make American cheese.
There we're 90 women in attendance
representing II different communi-

were appointed by their Home DEM

CITY COUNCIL
ASKS COURT FOR
ANOTHER BRIDGE
Committee Appointed and
COnfers With Ken t
Levy Court On Project.
NEAR POWER PLANT
Location Over MispilliOn
From Washington To
Pear Streets.

Milford City Council is working on
a project, the purpose of which is
the construction of another bridge
over the Mispillion River in Milford.
The suggested location for such a
structure would be at the power
plant owned by the city and would
connect Washington street, South
Milford, with Pear street, North Mil
ford. The plan also cOntemplates
widening Pear street and opening It
through entirely to the RehobOth
cut off road. Mayor Vinyard last
week appointed committee COM
posed of himself, City Manager Ban
ming and Councilmen Davis and
Mayhem to confer with the Levy
COul@s of Kent and Sussex counties
concerning this much needed i'm
prOvement.
On Tuesday the committee went
before the Kent Levy Court and laid
the proposition before them. There
seemed to be disposition ON the
part of the members to be favorable
to the project. The matter of funds
available for the work seemed TO
be the only stumbling block. The
Sussex County Levy Court is also
believed to favor the project. There
is no question that the new bridge
is badly needed in Milford. Walnut
street is overcrowded aud another
outlet just off the business district
would greatly aid in facilitating the
handling of traffic in the city.

ious Clubs and organizations of our

Mayor, City Council and City Man
ager, that such a program could be
brought about
Let us pause for moment to see
just what prompted this idea.
There is probably not one of us
here that has not toured either
through New England or historic
Virginia during the summer months
and on such trip we have been
impressed with their quaint towns,
because of the foresight of our fore
fathers in the planting of shade
trees. Our forefathers probably
never realized the beauty and worth
of this shade to these towns at the
time of the planting. but after years
rolled by and the trees became more
mature. their beauty and worth to
the community became priceless.
II is quite evident that our neigh
boring town and State Capitol had
the same thought in mind a few
years ago, for in driving through
our Capitol City one is impressed
with the beautiful shade and the fact
that every tree that has been re-
moved has been replaced with one
or probably two others.
Our city has in the past number
of years made rapid strides in many
directions. and now that our city
