PAGE TEN HOLDUP CASE IS CLEARED UP BY POLICE CHIBF Two Men Admit Having Robbed Minneapolis Sales- man Here March 24 Chief of Police Chris Martine- son’s cunning in being able to out- wit the other fellow came to good use again during the last two weeks and resulted in the arrest of and confessions from two men who robbed Emil Ostland of Minneapo- lis, a salesman who was here dur- ing the Bismarck-Mandan __ auto show, on the night of March 24, The men, Andrew Sabot, 16, of Bismarck, and James Hegan, 28, of Chicago, waived examination when arraigned before Justice of the Peace R. H. Crane today at noon on robbery charges and were bound over, the young man to juvenile court and the older man to district court. Both have signified their in- tention of pleading guilty to the charges. Ostland reported on Sunday, March 25, that he had been robbe during the previous night and left lying unconscious on thi jewal in front of a south side where he was found the next morn- ing. 4 Chris Is Crafty In order to throw the robbers off their guard, Chief of Police Mar- tineson announced a day or two lat- er that a thorough investigation of the affair revealed it was a hoax tnd that the man had not been robbed but, because of his intoxi- cated condition at the time, prob- ably had spent all his money and did not remember where it had gone. Sate Believing that the incident was considered closed, the men whom the chief suspected of the robbery later “talked too much” and finally said enough to bring about their arrest. Hegan, the first arrested, refused to acknowledge any connection with the robbery but when his pal, Sabot was taken into custody several days later and confessed his part in Sa e deal, Hegan finally gave in an told the details of the holdup. The Robbers’ Story The two men, according to the of- ficers who heard their confessions, picked Ostland up at a South side lace and took him in their car to Nandan. On their return, just be- fore reaching the city they went through Ostland’s pockets and took his pcketbook containing between $35 and $40. Taking the money, they returned the empty pocketbook and then put Ostland out of their car at the corner of Third street and Front avenue, on the South side, about 3 o’clock Sunday morn- ing. ‘Both men deny that they assaulted Ostland, either with their fists or a weapon of any kind, but simply took advantage of his intoxication to rob him of his wallet. Arraignment of the confessed robbers in the higher courts is ex- nected to take place.this afternoon or tomorrow. L. Van Hook Candidate For County Treasurer L.

Improvement Shown in Employment Outlook Improvement in employment con- ditions in North Dakota is noted in the March report of the federal de- partment of labor for northwestern states. Commenting on the situation in North Dakota the report said: “The demand for general farm help quickened. noticeably during the lat- ter part of March but plenty of men are available. msiderable new building has started and indications are that the spring construction pro- gram will surpasss that of several ences years. Industries general- ly are operating full time. “At Fargo general farm labor was in brisk demand throughout the month; seeding has started and there will be augmented demand for this class of labor. during April. Building tradesmen were better em- ployed than in March. Industries generally are operating full time. “At Grand Forks there has been marked improvement in local em- ployment conditions since March, due to better call for farm help. Building is becoming more active and the outlook for skilled labor is excellent.” . Heavy demands for farm labor are Dr. Geo. F.
