ROBBED; BANDITS GBT $1,200 LOOT John Breslin, Teller, Looks Up From His Work to Hear ‘Put Them Up’ IDENTIFY ROBBERS COULD Boy of 14, Entering During Holdup, Is Locked in Vault With Official Sanish, N. D., June 27.—(#)—Three men held up the Commercial State bank here at 9:45 a. m., today and escaped with approximately $1,200. John Breslin, teller in the bank, was alone when the robbers entered. Breslin did not look up immediately and a moment later was confronted by a pistol and a command to “put them up.” As the robbers were scooping up the money, Orlando Grendahl, a 14-year- old boy, entered the bank. The boy inquired of one of the bandits if a holdup was being staged. “Yep, Bud, it’s a holdup. How do you like it%” the leader of the trio replied. Breslin was compelled to lie on his stomach on the floor, while young Grendahl was allowed to sit ona chair. After the robbers had obtained all the cash and currency they could find, they locked Breslin and the boy in the vault. The vault door was not properly locked, however, and Bres- lin and Grendahl escaped in two or three minutes to give the alarm. As the alarm was given, two auto- one knew which was. the bandit car. Motorists who canie to town later an- nounced that they were passed by a coach, which was being driven very rapidly. overalls parent leader of the trio was describ- jaw and about five feet, eight inches to| tall. Another was about five feet, six inches tall, of dark complexion and weighing about 130 pounds. The third member was about five feet, 11 inches tall and had a heavy black beard of about three days’ growth. Breslin said he had seen the men in the bank yesterday and that he would be able to identify them if they are captured. ‘ COURTHOUSE BIDS REJECTED AS HGH New Proposals Will Be Asked of Contractors in Hope of Getting Within Funds Steps to hasten ‘the building of the new county courthouse and jail re- ceived a temporary setback, Thurs- day. afternoon, when the board of county commissioners found the bids it can open guns repulsed: a wave of the new offers and, if within the ee aia ; wt iy fue tiented © Lay ‘of Thurs or more lay on the of the = eeernes “ieee!

Will Control the Senate; House Uncertain Independents won control of the state senate at Wednesday’s primary but may have lost control of the low- er house. The Nonpartisans had a nominal majority of one in the house at the last session. The Nonpartisans made gains in contests for the lower house but lost Republican nominations for two sen- ate seats. In adition, W. E. Martin, Morton county, listed as a Nonparti- san two years ago, ran as an Inde- pendent this year and was renomi- nated. The other Nonpartisan losses were in Barnes county where Cc. J. Olson, Nonpartisan in- cumbent, was beaten by Fred Aan- dahl, and in the Foster-Eddy district where T. N. Putnam, Carrington In- dependent, defeated E. F. Johnson for the place voluntarily relinquished by O. H. Olson, New Rockford Nonparti- san, Elsewhere the Independents and the Nonpartisans have held their lines so far as the senate is concerned, except that W. E. Martin, Morton county senator heretofore lined up with the Nonpartisans, was nomi- nated this year with Independent support against a Nonpartisan, and will enter the fall election as an Inde- pendent. Should the fall election re- sult in the naming of Republican nominees in the three districts— Barnes, Morton and the Eddy-Foster district—and assuming the Independ- ents hold their strength elsewhere, would come into senate control by @ vote of 26 to 23. In the contest for house of repre- sentatives nominations, the Nonparti- sans have gained a berth in the Steele-Griggs district, one or two in Stutsman county, probably one in Emmons.and Kidder, while the Inde- pendents apparently have gained one in the Hettinger-Sioux-Adams dis- trict. Elsewhere, so far as available re- ports are concerned, the two factions have held their lines with the out- come of the house control battle necessarily doubtful until more com- plete information is at hand. In the last session the Independ- ents had a house membership of 61, with 57 votes necessary to hold con- trol.

At Brockville, Ont., 30 were killed when lightning fired explosives aboard a drill boat in the St. Law- rence river. Four passengers were killed and one was believed to have been fatally in- jured when @ passenger coach of a train bound from Winnipeg to To- ronto plunged into the flooded Ver- milion river at Capreol, Ont. “Also near Capreol, the engineer of a freight train and six men, believed to be tramps stealing rides, were kifed as the train ran into a washout and was wrecked.” Several trains were stalled and many motorists were stranded by landslides and washouts at Sudbury, Ont., no lives were lost.

BOAT DISAPPEARS AFTER EXPLOSION Rockville, Ont., June 27.—(#)—Ex- plosion by a bolt of lightning of sev- eral charges of dynamite placed in the rock bed of the St. Lawrence river was blamed today for the death of 30 men, killed when the blast tore the drill boat, J. B. King, to bits. Only 12 members of the crew of 42 were rescued. These were picked up by the U. S. coastguard cutter 211. Several of them were severely injured and were brought to hospitals here. ‘The drill boat, owned by J. P. Port- er and sons of St. Catherines, Ont. was engaged in blasting a channel through Brockville Narrows off Cock- burn Island on the eastern fringe of the Thousand Island group yesterday when the explosion occurred. Several holes had been drilled in the rock and filled with dynamite and the day crew was drilling additional holes to place more dynamite when an electrical storm broke over the river about 4:30 p.'m. Many of the night shift were asleep below the decks. Witnesses said they saw a flash of lightning dart down to the boat, fol- lowed immediately by a terrific ex- plosion. The air was filled.with de- ag and the drill boat had disappear- SAY HAIL STONES WEIGHED 10 POUNDS 8t. John’s, N. F., June 27.—()—The fishing village of Lumsden today was recovering from a hail and rain storm that took three lives and sank 30 boats.
