P.0.ROBBERS ARE CAUGHT Three Men and Their Para- phernalia Taken In South Dakota. BOOTY IN THE SUM OF $800 FOUND UPON THEM. The Men Were Placed Under $3,000 Bail and a Hearing Will MYSTERY IS DEEP Whercabouts of N. 0. Dahl and Daughter Seem Impossibie to Determine. Word from Quiring this morn- ing is to the effect that no pro- gress inthe search for N.O. Dahl and daughter Aagot, who mysteriously dlssupmlcd from there some time ago, has been made. Althoagh the state and relatives of the missing couple have offered rewards no. clue whatever has been found that would lead to their whereabouts, Be Given Them In September. Inspector Collier has reported to the office of the St. Paul divi- sion of postoflice inspectors that he has rounded-up three post- office robbers who have been at work in northern Minnesota and the two Dakotas. The men were arrested at White Rock, S. D., and gave their names to the oihcels s James O'Brien, Frank Howard, and George W. Healy. Booty to the value of $800 was found upon them and a full kit of burglars’ tools and explosives for safe blowing were taken, Since the daring robbery of the Bemidji postoffice two weeks ago the authorities have been baffled in their search for the , robbers, no clue to the perpe- trators being discovered. It i supposed that after the robbery of the postoffice here the men immediately set out for the Dakotass, where. they worked their game at Birholtz. From there they went into South Da- kota, where in all probability they intended a robbery of the White Rock pastotfice. The au- thorities there were on the look- out, however, and when the men made their appearance they im- mediately placed them under arrest. Their lodgings were searched with the result that a full paraphernalia for safe blow. ing and robbing was found and about $800 in booty. The men were placed under $3,000 bail, and a hearing will_be given them in S(‘ptombu at Deadwood; S.D. - COUNTY DADS Present Meeting of County Com- missioners Will Take Three or Four Days.

A report currentin Little Falls is to the effect that the terminus of the Minnesota & International will be changed from Brainerd to that city in the near fature. Itis said that President Elliot has had in mind some change of this kind for some time, in order to give the people on the cut off between Staples and Little Falls a day service, the only passen- ger train now running days be- tween those two points being the North Coast Limited, which does not stop at any of the smailer stations. Local officials of the M. & I., however, say they know nothing of the proposed change, aund it is probable that for the pr&Sent the schedule of the M. & I. will re- main the same as it now is. NOT IN IT Walker Baseball Team Could Not Play Withthe Fast Bunch of Bemidjites. About 500 people were present| at the ball game yesterday after- noon between Walker and Be- midji, in which the local team proved themselves far superior to the visiters at every stage of the game. The first two innings were fair, the Walker bunch scoring three runs and the home team only one. After that the Bemidji team® pulled themselves together end played such swift ball for six innings that Walker did not sce third base again and gave up the ghost in the eighth inning.

From There They Will be Driven Down the Mississippi to Dubuque, lowa. The first summer logging to any extent in nult,hmn Minne- sota-is now being conducted by the-Standard Lumber Co. of Du- buque, lowa, on the Cass Lake reservation near —Ball - Club: Thos. Nugent, an ofticer of the and has about tifty men now at work. Although many have consid- ered summer logging in northern Minnesota.as impracticable, and by some as impossible, on ac- count of the many swamps which would have to be crossed inorder to reach a landing for the logs. the .Standard company is going into the business on a large alo and expect to put in a number of million feet during the present summer. The process for logging in the summer is little different from the methods employed in the winter, except that the logs must be hauled to the landing on big wheels instead of on sleighs and are dumped at once into the river or lake where they are landed. The haul from the woods where the logs are being cut to Ball (llubml\e, where tlm logs of: the Standard company will bohnded is about three miles, a compar- atively short one. From there the logs will be driven into the Mississippi river and down to Dubuque, Towa, where.the.com- pany has large sawmilis for manufacturing them into lumber. WEYERHAUSER Take of Noted Lumberman Will Hand in Manufacture Turpentiné at Hinckley. Considerable has been said of late of the turpentine factory at Hinckley and now comes word| that Weyerhauser money.is about to become interested in the scheme. Turpentine, pine tar and pine tar oil will soon be manu- factured fromghe stumps-of cut- over timberlands in northern Minnesota. For some time a company has been operating at Hinckley, with considerable success. The com- pany . pays $3 a cord for pine land of stumps in exchange for the stump But four men are employed, and but two big iron retorts operated, and these in the open a The profits, how- ever, are proving large. The Hinckley plant ‘is using sixty cords of stumps a month, and securing a product of 600 gallons of oil, 1,200 gallons of tar, and 900 gallons of turpentine, worth altovcther between $500and $600. I o suchas toleave 20070 month. The Cloguet Lumber company, owred by Weyerhausers, has about completed a deal to secure a controlling interest in the Hinckley plant, and then will en- large the b and operate it on a large the pr nga depot for their Lm\ n. Aneffort is be- ing made by them, and all indi- cations point to their success. It is one of the busiest little towns, on the line, but is handcapped by the lack of a depot. At the time the road went through a depot was built there, but for lack of business the railroad company removed it to South Bemidji. Popular Excursion.
