ae 4 | q i THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1931 MINNESOTA BANK ROBBED; MAN, GIRL LOCKED IN VAULT ‘Two Gunmen Get Between $500: and $600 from St. Leo Institution St. Leo, Minn., Feb. 20—(#)—Two gunmen who threatened a bank cash- jer and his daughter with death if they disobeyed orders, “cleaned out” the State Bank of St. Leo an hour after the institution opened Friday and fled with between $500 and $600 iw locking their victims in the Vault, St. Leo is an inland community of 125 persons 175 miles southwest. of the Twin Cities in Yellow Medicine county. It is 13 miles northwest of Minneota. L. P. Sunke, cashier, and his 18- year-old daughter, Louise, were in the bank when the two bandits, each between 30 and 35 years old, strolled into the institution leisurely and walked to the counter as they talked to each other. \ The cashier was busy at the counter while his daughter stood at his side. wi Drawing a revolver one of the bandits said: “We mean business. get down on your face.” As one of the pair stood guard, the other ransacked the till and then took all the money in the vault. “Get up and go into the vault and don’t look at us if you don’t want to get filled with lead,” the bandit who stood guard told his victims after his partner had gathered all the money in the bank, including nickels, dimes and pennies. As the victims entered the vault, the bandits slammed the door and turned the combination. They jumped into an automobile parked in front of the bank and headed east towards Granite Falls. Four years ago burglars c..:mpted to blow the safe at the bank during the night but obtained nothing, Mr. Sunke said. He said the institution previously kept about $2,000 on hand but this amount was decreased as safeguard against banditry. It was the second daylight holdup in Minnesota in less than two weeks. A bandit held up six employes in the St. Anthony Park State bank in St. Paul Feb. 7 and escaped with between $300 and $500. Twichell Loses Desperate Fight On Bridge Bill (Continued from page one) the bill sent to the committee of the whole for action on amendments. Matt Crowley, Hebron, opposing the bill because it locates the bridge definitely at the Big Bend of the Missouri, offered an amendment which wuuld permit the county com- missions of Mercer and McLean counties to locate the bridge by agreement. This lost and the. bill was recommended for passage. Lynch’s motion to kill the bill pre- viously had been beaten. Carrying on the fight, on a motion to adopt the report of the commit- tee of the whole, another motion to defeat the measure lost by a 54 to 58 count. Twicell attempted to send the measure back to the committee with a view to incorporating Crowley's amendment but this effort also lost. During one part of the battle the house clerks lost count of a standing vote and the poll was taken over again. Twichell demanded that the speaker count the members himself, asserting “It has been done,” bul Speaker C. V. Freeman ignored the request. After the report had been adopted, H. F. Swett, Kidder county Nonpar- tisan who had aided Halvorson in the battle, moved the clincher motion on the action. This sprred Twichell to action all over again and this time the vote was 56 to 56. Asks ‘Open Trades’ As the smoke of battle cleared Crowley rose to demand that “all trades be made here in the open.” This drew a laugh from the house. Arguments on the bill hinged around the use of money alloted to this state by the federal government for road and bridge purposes. Hal- vorson contended that lack of state funds makes it impossible for the state to use up all of the federal money and that the bridge would cost the state very little. Commenting on @ proposal to take the money from the road and bridge fund and give it to the state highway department for road and bridge purposes, Halvorson asserted this would be unfair to the people since the money had been col- lected for this specific purpose. Twichell and Lynch stressed the fact that more roads could be built Af the money were transferred to the highway department. ‘Twichell asserted that an appropri- ation for $10,000 already has been made for @ bridge at Elbowoods in northwestern McLean county and that it is proposed to build “two $700,000 bridges within 40 miles of each other.” Halvorson Corrects Him Halvorson asserted that the dis- tance is 56 miles and that the assem- bly already has voted two bridges for the eastern part of the state in addi- tion to the one for “The Indians at Elbowoods.” The Elbowoods bridge bill passed the house several'days ago by a prac- tically unanimous vote and without comment. It was signed by the gov- error re of the Garrison bridge gument against the building two Missouri river at the same time was stressed by Twichell. ‘The battle developed a new appel- lation for Mr. Twichell among the bridge bill partisans, who tontend that his efforts are directed against development.of Western North Da- kota, It is “Napoleon.” Dog Tax Bill Is Passed by House Thursday Night (Continued from page one! insurance commissioner and the secretary of agriculture and labor as members of the workmen’s compen- sation bureau and making the term of office six years instead of five for @ commissioner, resulted in a strict party vote. The bill passed 58 to 54, with one Nonpartisan member ab- sent. Gordon Cox of Bismarck in- troduced the bill by reqyest. . One Measure Beaten | The only bill on the calendar to meet defeat was one empowering civil townships to join in purchasing | and maintaining fire fighting equip- ment. It went down 33 to 77. L. E. Correll, sponsor, said the bill was es- Pecially adaptable to a situation at Casselton where the equipment was desired to aid in fighting fires oc- curing on surrounding farms. Among other bills to meet house approval were those regulating the ure of dairy products at state insti- tutions and prohibiting the use of oleomargarine at such institutions; requiring eggs to be graded by weight instead of size; permitting cities and villages to contribute towards the ex- pense of construction of federal aid highways; prohibiting gasoline, oth- er than snti-knock gasoline,. from containing a foreign coloring matter; transferring $350,000 from the re- turned soldiers fund to the general fund; permitting cities and villages to buy fire fighting equipment on the installment plan; and an appropria- tion of $396 to pay A. M. Forest for damages sustained in a collision with a state-owned snow plow. Committee reports recommending indefinite postponement of nine mea- | sures were adopted. Included among the bills killed were those lowering the legal rate on public printing, ap- propriating $940.56 to reimburse the Bex Elder bridge fund for the struc- ture erected between North and South Dakota, making it lawful for county commissioners to bid upon and be awarded contracts for state highway work and compelling county commis- stoners to erect suitable markers where roads have sharp turns. Committee Favors Measure Providing Rebuilding of Wing (Continued from page one) finitely postponed by the elections committee. Favors Weight Fee A measure providing for charging fees for motor vehicle registration on the basis of weight and class of motor vehicles was recommended for pass- age by the house state affairs com- mittee Friday. The committee at the same time incorporated in the measure features of three other bills dealing with mo- tor vehicle registration. The proposal approved was intro- duced by J. A. Jardine, Cass. At- tached to the measure as amend- ments were features of bills offered by H. L. Halvorson, Ward, to change dates for delinquent licensing of au- tomobiles and exempting from licen- sing, used cars, except when sold, un- til Sept. 1, and another bill by Jar- dine to raise automobile dealers’ li- cense fees from $12 to $25, and mo- toreycle dealers from $5 to $10 for each set of dealer's tags.

Under this Plan, the registration fees will be lit- tle changed over the present fees, ac- cording to some members of the group.

Under the present law, such papers must print at least three Pages in English. Prompt Veto from Hoover Is Expected Despite Majorities «Continued trom page one) tefore Friday. All amendments had been rejected by the senate to avoid ; delay. The senators who opposed the mea- sure were all Republicans. The 37 Democrats present voted for the bill, jeined 34 Republicans including the party leader, Watson of Indiana, and the assistant leader, McNary, of Ore- gon. Watson, however, intended in view of his position to cast his vote to sustain a veto but there was little in- dication that other Republicans would change. The , Farmer-Labor senator, Shipstead of Minnesota, vot- ed for the measure. The only Demo- cratic dissent was that of Senator King of Utah, who was paired against the measure. ‘EIGHT HOUR DAY IS URGED FOR OFFICES}° Resolution Suggests Extension of Working Hours for State Departments A concurrent resolution urging the heads of state departments and coun- ty offices to hereafter operate their offices on an _eight-hour-day basis, was introduced in the house Thurs- day by the appropriations committee.

Ban Johnson Has Fighting. Chance St. Louis, Feb. 20.—(?)—Following a restful night, Ban Johnson, former head of the American League has 4 “fighting chance” to pull through his present illness, his physician, IX. Robert F. Hyland said Friday. Johnson's condition, up to Thurs- day night had been growing steadily | to sit up for a short time. The for- mer baseball czar underwent a blood transfusion Thursday, which was foi- lowed by a chill. The condition of his foot, following amputation of a toe recently, was growing better, Dr. Hyland said, and whether baseball's stalwart old figure will recover, depends on “his frame of mind” and his blood condition.
