I7., says; Train No. 2, the east- bound North h C'oast Limited, on the Nortl' tern Pacific Itaw'ilrsaad, was''. held up by three masked robbers near Buffalo, North Dakota, about 11 o'clock Thursday night.. The robbers secured about $500 in. cash, by going through the pas- sengers, and shot EngineerS. P. Olsen., of Fargo, twice, in order, to make him stop the train, and made a. suecessiul escape in to au- tomobile, which they had await- ing them near the scene of the roktbery. The performance 1 as executed was one of the most daring ever perpetrated in this part of the coun try. Heavily a,r:med and shooting recklessly, in order to intimidate. the passengers, they first lined the train crew up at one end of the liar, and then proceeded to search the passengers in the day coach one by one. In all they secured about $500 from this part of their rob- bery. The sleceing car sva entered, and, .in order to awaken the oc- cupants of berths, a shot was fired down the eentre'of the aisle. After searching the occupants of the berths they elimbed • ut the diner, and over the baggage' and the express car to the engine. They ordered Engineer Olsen -to stop the train_ so they could get off, and when he 'refused to comply with their wishes : two shots were fired directly at him, one glancing off his watch, and the other striking him on a rib,, injuring him slight- ly. After being wounded, and seeing that the men were desperate. En- gineer Olsen- stopped the train, and the 'three meet, who were all euaskcd with polka-dot handker- Pchiefs, jumped quickly from the train. ROP ON APPLES WILL - LIGHTER eport of Conditions Canada by Department f Agriculture A despatch from Ottawa says The report of the fruit -di-vision of the ;Department of Ag r'ieultu:re state that s l< t iltG prospect for apples bus diminished slightle since last month's rr'i'vet, eXcot,t in fir tiyi,i Columbia, where prospects have rather unproved, and it is now -es- timated that shipments from that province will be 455 per cent. of. last year's -crop, which was very heavy. The hot, dry weather does not appear to havematerially affected the apple crop prospects in East- ern Canada, although correspon- dents especially in Ontario, have exhibited apprehension that the crop will be very much shortened. There are reports of sun scald in the counties north of. Lake Erie, and the counties on Lake Huron and inland to York County. Nova. Scotia still expects to have the greatest crop on record, due partly to the increased acreage, but also to the heavy yield. Pears will be light in all sec- tions. Plums promise to be a fair to medium trop in Ontario and Nova Scotia. Early and late peaches will be a good crop. Peaches of the Craw- ford type are reported as some- what light., There is an increased acreage of tomatoes in Ontario. WOMAN AVIATOR KILLED. Was `.Prying for Pilot's License at School When She Fell.

IFOR BUSH 'FIRES hies Forester Atkinson i1Z vestigates the Situation at Porcupine A despatch horn P0,ren hiale I , Ont., says; With a view of devising orae means to prevent forest flrOlt in this district, l?, V. Atkinson, (`1lief Forester of the Dominion Conservation OommisaitMl, and al- ro honorary inspector for the Que- bee Government, came to camp. 11r. Atkinson cut short his .eiit- days to make the trip into Pomo- pine immediately following the fire, and since then has covered considerable territory 41nd made meaty pertinent suggestions. Hie claim is that with the proper regu- lation, fires, which ultimately re- sult seriously, earl be prevented, While the .argument is by no meant original with him, Ir. At:t iusen speaks • most bitterly against the eareless cigarette smoking; in the bush. He claims teat this is the origin' of hundreds of -fires-, where cigar or pipe smoking would not Start 000. Mr. Atkinson believes that a patrol system should be organized anis that such an organization should be as active as a City fire department, seizing . every oppor- tunity to exting*u. n a fire where one is reported, no matter how small it may be. Such an organ- ization is suggested with, a `chief head and sub -chiefs,: each respon- sible to :the chief and each hav- ing charge over patrol men. Now that the bush fires in the north country; have wrought so much. n dama„e and have incurred such a loss of life, it is likely that some suggestion, of this kind may" be acted upon. Mr. - Atkinson has been a forester and a- Conserva- tionist for 30 years and he mains tains that disastrous bush- fires can be prevented :in practically every instance. John Somers, of Montreal, re- ceived a telegram that his sister, Mary, was dead. He left to at- tend the funeral' at Plat£sburg; but fell off ''the train and was killed.
