SHERWOOD LINE HAS OBLIGING CONDUCTOR
HIS TRAIN IS FLAGGED BY WOMAN WHO WANTED SOME NIPPLES FOR BABY.
Minot, N. D., Oct. 2.—Conductor R. C. Wynn of the "Sunshine Limited", the Sherwood flyer, on the Great Northern, is an obliging man. In fact he has made a hit with the people up and down the line for his willingness to make purchases for them during his stay in Minot. But he felt that his nature was being imposed upon this morning when a woman flagged the train at Mohall, N. D., and asked him to purchase two anti-colic nipples for her baby.
Mr. Wynn, incensed that she had stopped his train, at first turned a deaf ear to her pleas, but when she insisted that her baby's life depended on the nipples he finally consented to make the purchase in Minot. On his arrival in Minot, the kind-hearted conductor went from store to store in quest of the nipples, finally getting what he desired. He was at the depot this afternoon and, missing the nipples he started to look for them. Mr. Wynn was abashed, for the nipples rolled to the feet of a number of ladies. One of them picked the nipples up and restored them to Wynn, who felt it necessary to explain that he did not need them for himself, as he was already a grandfather.
Conductor Wynn is getting round shouldered carrying bundles from Minot to the folks along the line. Lately he has been almost overburdened. Among some of the things he had to take to a party along the line yesterday was a consignment of dried herring. Mr. Wynn averages at least 25 parcels every day and makes trips to the five and ten cent store daily, the Fair Store and a number of Minot business estabilshments to secure wares for his friends.

Bottineau, N. D., Nov. 1.—Four aces dealt him in a poker game at Minot, when he was the victim of a trio of sharps, are believed responsible for the insanity of John A. Hahn, jailed today when his condition became violent. He was taken to Jamestown.
When Hahn received the four-ace hand he bet his pile, $19, and lost to a royal flush.

Vivian, the 3-year-old daughter of Rev. and Mrs. C. O. Gulleor of
Souris, met with a peculiar accident recently, getting a button in her nose. It became lodged so firmly that a physician was called, and an anaesthetic had to be administered before the offending object could be removed. She is none the worse for the experience.

Martin Muhwich and Marcus Peaschel, clerks of A. Miksche, made quite a capture of a thief, yesterday. Marton having noticed the thief take an overcoat from the front of the store, notified his colleague, and the two put out for the man, who soon dropped the coat but kept running and was finally captured and dragged back to the store and a policeman sent for. The fellow was very contrary and ugly and one of the boys noticed that he was attempting to quietly get into a coat pocket, when he was seized and a loaded revolver was taken from him. Soon it was learned that the burly outlaw had just prior thereto terrorized Marton Schott and all in his hotel and walked away with the vest and coat of an employee of the hotel—stolen from the man's room. He quieted everybody in the hotel by pointing the revolver at their heads, respectively, and demanding that they be seated till he made his escape. Undoubtedly, had he gotten his gun out of his pocket he would have walked out of Mr. Miksche's store or hurt some one. When Justice Dow asked the fellow in court where he was from, he promptly replied, "None of your business." It is reported that there has been a good deal of thieving going on at
Casselton, recently. The plan is, we believe, to eventually turn the fellow loose on the bridge and let the
Breckenridge authorities take him in.
