ROBBER ESCAPES THE LAW Joe McManus Robs Woods- man, Is Taken by Police But Makes Escape. ROBBERY OCCURRED AT EARLY HOUR THIS MORNING. Police Have Instituted Search, Which so Far Has Been Unsuceessful. Joe McManus, a young man whose parents live in this city, $his morning about 1 o’clock held up a woodsman near the Ex- change saloon and relieved him of what money he had in his clothes, amounting 1n all to about$5. The police were immediately called and arrived in time to arrest the robber, who was identified as Joe McManus, a young man who has made his home with his parents in this city for a number of years. The officer was taking him to jail and had arrived opposite the alley between Third and Fourth streets when McManus suddenly broke loose and ran into the alley, and although the officer fired sev- eral shots at him he did not let up his pace; but successfully made bis escape, and all search for him within the city has been of no avail. : The police have sent a descrip- tion of the man.to all towns in this country where he would be likely to put in an .appearance, _and should he show up at any of these his arrest will follow. McManus is a young man and has up to the present time had no troublelwith the police and it 'is ITIS ANATTER OF HEALTH Absclutely Pure ‘THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE WHIST SCORES Messrs.

Novel Admission Fee. The members of the library association have it in mind to give an entertainment in the near future forithe benefit of the Bemidji public library, at which the price of admission will be a book. Each one who attends the entertainment will “be required to furnish a book for the library, and-in-order to gain admission he must present the book at the door. The plan is a novel one and will undoubtedly meet with great favor. New Real Estate Office. C. C. Woodward, one of the pioneers of Bemidji, is moving fixtures into a room in the build- ing opposite the Marikham hotel, where he will run areal estate and loan office. Mr. Woodward has for some time past been in this business, although he never before has had an office, and his business has increased to such an extent that it has become necessary for him to rent one.

Crazed with habitual hunter’s kuoife, an laborer, until recently an employe | of William Barret’s livery estab lishment in} Hibbing, is some-| where in the woods between that place and’' the Stevenson mine | An effort has.been made to locate him on two occasions this week, but as both have proved unavail- ing it is feared he may have suc- cumbed to the cold and exposure by this time. : Amos Shepherd, of the Steven- son mine, was driving into Hib- bing last Saturday from that property |when he came suddenly upon the man standing in the middle of the road. His clothes had been torn by his long tramp through the brush -and woods: His hair was disheveled and as he stood bareheaded in the middle of the road the horses took fright and shied off to one side. The man shouted] an unintelligent challenge and waved his arm in the air. In one hand a long hunter’s knife gleamed. He stood in the road ‘and watched the sled disappear and for a moment seemed inclined to pursue. The man appeared in Hibbing a few weeks ago and while on a protracted drunk called at the livery establishment and asked for work. Later he showed up apparently more sober and was given a chance to work. He re- mained ab his tasks but a short time before he began to drink heavily again and after remain- ing about the stable drunk for a week he disappeared. That was the last seen of him until he met the Shepherd party. A number of other parties who have made the trip through the woods to the west of Hibbing the last two or three days report having caught sight of a man apparently demeted, wandering about through the timber.
