Saved The Girl.
Chief of Police Lowe and Conductor W. H. McCraw of Grand Forks are credited with nipping an elopement in the bud early Sunday morning, when a Lakota young woman was taken in charge at the station and returned home. It appears that a man named Applegate, of St. Paul, who had been working on a farm near Lakota left the place Saturday, and with him came the farmer's daughter. Fearing that the daughter intended to elope the father wired the conductor of the early morning train and upon its arrival the police had no difficulty in locating the young woman in this case. Applegate had bought tickets for himself and the young woman to this city, and both left the train here. She admitted that they were going on east, but he claimed that she was coming to Grand Forks, while he was going to his home at St. Paul, where it is said that he has a family. The young woman was sent back to Lakota and her parents yestreday morning.

DOG PULLS BANK ROBBERY THAT IS RICH IN THRILLS
Bowman, N.D., Nov 7—Aroused by the crashing of breaking glass, C. E. Joyce, sleeping in the rear of the Derby land office, rushed to the Farmers' and Merchants' bank building expecting to find the yeggs pocketing the cash. Sheriff Norem and Cashier O. M. Young, summoned from a nearby hotel, joined in the raid, and the trio stealthily stole up to the shattered window in the rear of the bank building to discover that a stray dog, who had been taken in earlier in the evening to give him a warm berth, had been locked in for the night by bank attaches who forgot they had him as a guest. Awakening around midnight the bow-wow apparently suspecting big business of some fell plot against his liberty, had first made an assault on the heavy plate glass windows in front and finally catapaulted himself through window, screen and all, at the rear of the bank, leaving some of his blood on the jagged pane to mark his exit.
