v BISMARCK EVENING TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1918 ‘ RED CROSS WILL HOLD AUCTION OF CHICKENS LATER Birds Heid at Penitentiary Until Special Session of the Legislature. With a view to realizing the largest some birds donated to the Red Cross by President Horace Beardsley of Sanger and Vice President J. R. Fr bey of Lisbon, Chairman B. C. Mark last evening decided not to auction off the prize-winners as advertised, but to hold them until the special assembly of the legislature is in session when it is thought, with fanciers here trom all parts of the state, much better bids will be offered. The birds, real aristocrats, were consigned today to the kindly care of the penitentiary poultry expert. The barred rock which was donated by President Beardsley won the second prize at the Minnesota state fair last year, while the Rhode Island red con- tributed by Vice President Frisbey took first at the M uri Valley show and first at the Lisbon exposition. Show Ends. The show ended today, and the big display room in the basement of the Hotel Northwest was cleared in short order, there being an immediate de- mand for the sp 1 coops at Fargo, for the state poultry show. There will be entered at least 100 prize-winning birds from the ‘Missouri Valley expo- sitions, and many of the fanci who have been in attendance here will go to Fargo. A list of the awards is being com- piled and will be published as soon possible. The suow in every respe has been a gratifying ‘succe: the quality of the entries has been exceptionally high. QLD PARTIES TO UNITE; LOYALTY ‘ THE ONLY ISSUE | Milwaukee, Wis., Jan, 12.—A plan for the fusion of republicans and democrats on loyalty and not political lines, for the fall cam- paign, was adopted today at a meeting of the democratic state central committee here. A plan to have fusion candidates for every office to be voted for from United States senator down was advanced in order to make a stand before the nation on strict loyalty lines. Senator La Follette’s attitude on the war was criticised severe- ly by sneakers at the meeting. MILITARY POLICE AND CIVIL AUTHORITIES ARE SCOURING THE COUNTRY (Continued From Page One.)

Topeka, Kan., Jan. 12.—The local police received the following message late last night. was “Camp Funston—Army bank robbed i Thursday evening. Three civilians killed, two badiy injured. Man semi- conscious condition says army cap- tain attacked -him with gun and hat- chet. Believed robber was disguised in the uniform of an army captain. Per- petrator blood stained. Request co- operation. (Signed). “MAJOR-GENERAL BALLOU.” Topeka police were ordered to watch every train entering the city. The men killed were: —— Hill, John Jewell and Carl Olhson, all clerks. Military authori- ties here are reticent regarding the robbery. It was learned, however, that the robbery was discovered when persons passing the bank heard groans. It is believed at least two men took part in the robbery as two hand axes used in the killing were found inside the bank. The robbers gained en- trance to the vault and removed a considerable quantity, of cash and some liberty bonds. The amount se- cured was not given out. ‘The discovery, it was said, did not become known until after 9 o'clock. The military police were immediately put on the case. Tt was stated here by army officers that they were convinced the man who apparently led in the robbery was not an officer in the army although he was dressed in the uniform of a cap- tain. Kearney Warnell, who was slightly injured, stated that the crime was committed by a man who was wear- int a captain’s uniform, but he was unable to give any detailed descrip- tion of the man. It is believed the uniform worn by the murderer is stained with blood. How the robbers entered the bank, successfully attacked five men with axes, robbed the vault and made their escape is a mystery.

It is believed this was the reason the robber obtained a captain's uniform. WAS IT A JOKE?

Oh, I had told him so many times not to do it,” said Mrs. Orr last night. “1 told him in the morning when} he left for work to be sure and order coal on the way, home. He had ordered coal trom McCoy's twice before. And that's why he went there. I feel some- how as if I had sent him away from me.” PLANNING 0 OUST GERMAN LANGUAGE Considering Substitution of Latin Tongue.
