Rob Allen County Bank.

Two' bandits, evidently amateurs, held up Albert Egley, cashier of the Grabill State bank Thursday fnoon and eccaped 'with the contents of a money drawer, amounting’ to approximately $784. The belief that the two robbers are amateurs is based ‘on- the fact that they made no effort to open the doors of a safe containing approximately $3,000, and in the manner in which ihey performed the robbery.

Will Reach Agreement,

It is generally believed in European diplomatic ‘circles and the opinion is shared by the United States that after the premier of Italy gets the bluster off his' chest intended for home consumption his fuss with Greece will fall flat and that there will be no war between the two nations. The matter of the dispute seems to have been shifted by the league of nations to the council of ambassadores for adjustment. |

LOST FIRST CARGO OF ICE Frederick Tudor Proposed to Ship locs -~ From Boston to West Indies s i A ol When twenty-two-year-old Frederick Tudor proposed to ship ice to the West Indies from his father’s pond in Saugus, Boston thought him mad. and seafaring men, fearing the cargo would melt and swamp a vessel vam} difficulty were persuaded to handle his brig, says “Maritime History of Massachusetts.” His first venture was 130 tons of ice to Martinique in 1805. On receiving news of its complete failure, he wrote in his journal: “He who gives back at the first repulse and without striking the second blow, despairs of success, has never been, is not and never will be a hero In love, war or business.” v By 1812 Tudor Bad built up a small trade with the West Indies. The war wiped him out, After the peace.of Ghent he obtained government permission to build ice houses at Kingston and Havana, with a monopoly of the traffic. It began to pay, and between 1817 and 1820 he extended the business to Charleston, Savannah and New Orleans. : o Vessels had to be double sheathed to protect the ice from melting, and the captains had to be cautioned, with wearisome repetition, never to let the hatches be removed. Tudor experimented with all sorts of filling, with rice and wheat chaff, hay, tanbark ‘and even coal dust before he settled upon pine sawdust as the best insulator.

HEROISM OF AFRICAN CAT

Missionary Tells How Mother Feline Saves Her Kittens in Fierce Hall Storm. :

A missionary to Africa tells this interesting story of the unusual heroism of a cat he once owned. One day a terrific hail storm came, the sort concerning which English and American people know nothing. In a quarter of an hour hail covered the ground to a depth of two feet. Before the storm began the missionary’s three ‘cats were outside playing; they were all mother .cats and had their -kittens with them. by . Immédiately two of the mother cats ran to shelter, never troubling about the little ones, but the heroine of the story stood her ground. As soon as her master managed to go to her he found that she had gathered not only her own four babies, but all the others as well, nine in all, and had stood over them, keeping them warm and safe, while she was nearly frozen. She had nearly died in saving them, for her poor sides were terribly bruised by the heavy hailstones. Carefully did the missionary wrap her in blankets: and then he nursed her till she had recovered, ! :

The case for the defense was not going as well as the counsel for that party had hoped.
