DYNAMITE AT SHEVLIN Burglars Break Into theBank of Shevlin Last Night And Destroy Safe. TWO - DOORS OF THE BLOWN OPEN. SAFE Shock of the Explosion Awoke the Town—Burglars Fright- ened Away. This morning at 8 o’clock burg- lars broke into the Bank of Shev- lin and dynamited the safe in a desperate attempt to make away with the ready cash of the bank. The safe used by the bank is a burglar proof affair with three doors and the burglars forced two of the doors, but the third proved obdurate and they left without securing a penny for their hazardous attempt. The tirst door was blown open with nitro glycerine and the sec- ond was pried open with a crow bar. An attempt was made to blow open the inner door but it is thought that too heavy a charge was used, for the explo- sion shoolk all the nearby build- ings and awoke nearly everyone in the town. A number of peo- ple were aroused and looked out of doors to inyestigate but see- ing nothing retired to their rest again; it is though however, that the commotion must have f ened the burglars away, for when the first men arrived on the scene early this morning the inner door was still in place. The force of the explosion broke nearly every pane of gla in the bank buwldi and it estimated that the building is damaged to the extent of $100. A number of papers are slightly burned but no books or papers of value were lost. There is absolutely no clue as to the perpetrators of the crime. The safe contained %1,500 in money. The loss to the building is fully coyered by insurance. LINE IS SHORT Preliminary Survey of Red Lake Road Only Execeeds Air Line One-half Mile.

An attempt was made last night by a gentleman who an- nounces that he will be an inde- pendent candidate for office after the primaries to secure the prom- ise of a Northome man to vote for him at the November election. The candidate was evidently un- conscious of the fact that North- ome is situated in Itasca county and that a man from that town Beltrami county candidate, but he spent considerable of his time trying to convince the voter that his cause was the right one. It is not known whether or not he succeeded. MAD DOG Police Dispatch Canine This Morning That Had Been Act- ing in Queer Manner.

The work of building camps has already begun, School in Church. The Methodist church has been rented by the school board and at present it is filled to its capacity with children in the lower grades. The necessity of providing additional room ~oc curred to the board shortly after theschool had been opened, as theattendance far surpagses all expectations.

Princess Gr cery Co| UNJUST 170 JOHNSON A Misrepresentation Against Commissioner Johnson In the Fifth Distriet. RECORDS OF COUNTY BOARD IN A FALSE LIGHT. Jdust What the Record of The Board of Equalization Shows. For the most part the cam- paign for nomination in Beltrami county has been conducted with fairness by the different candi- dates toward their opponents but in the fifth commissioner district the opponents of Commissioner Johnson are conducting a cam- paign that is based solcly upon misrepresentation. The fifth district embraces the towns of Port Hope, Turtle River. Frohn, Tenstrike Center; Taylor: Mouae Lake and two unorganized townships together with the vil- lages of Tenstrike, Turtle and Farley. Mr. Johnson isa busi ness man at Turtle. The opposi- tion to him is solely on the claim that he has caused the assess- ment of the towns of his district to be unduly raised and at Ten- strike it is being represented to the voters that he has caused the assessment of the entire village and township to be raised 100 per cent. The real facts are that the only raise which was made was of the acreage outside of platted lots so that the village of Tenstrike is hardly affected at all. This is shown by the following exXtract {rom the offlcizl proceeding of the board for July 18: yalue of re ept plated lots ex- by towns as The raise does not affect Ten- strike in any way whatever ex- cept as to unplatted acreage and the raise that was made in the acreage only puts the towns af- fected on a footing of equality with the other towns of the coun- ty. Asto the charge that Mr. Johnson was letting his district get the worst of it the record shows that the board raisel the assessment in Bemidji town- ship in Comissioner Wrj hts district 50 per cent, mem(, Commissioner Sibley’s district 663 per cent, \mthmn in Com- missioner Anderson’s district 50 per cent. The Pioneer believes that the statement of the actual facts, as shown by the official record, is due to Mr. Johnson in simple justice. Mr. Johnson is an able business man and has made an excellent commissioner and so far as the Pioneer knows has done his whole duty at all times with the except that he has uni- formly refused to vote the county printing to the Pioneer and we understand that even his opponents are not laying this up against him.

POLITICS — During the past few days the campaign has grown hotter in the country districts and there is some evidence that the farm- ers who are at home will take part very generally in the pri- mary election. It is generally conceeded that Judge Clark will be renominated for judge of probate by a large majority, He has made a verv capable officer and is fully en- titled to a second term. Infact Mr. Fisk his opponent has not made a very active canvass, and probably does not really expect the nomination, County Treasurer French seems to have a good grip on the nomination for treasurer al- though Richard Leet is making an active canvass for the nomi nation, Mr. French has proved his ability and fidelity and the general reasoning-is that there seems to be nogood reason why a change should be made. An illustration of how much | foundation there is in the a.tbacl;fs made on County Auditor vester is found in the puhllca, tion in a local paper last week of the charge that the towns and villages had lost thousands of dollars through the neglect of the auditor to make the annual statement in proper time. It was charged that the statement was not madc for two months after the time that it should have been made. Itis perfectly true that the statement was late, but Mr. Sylvester was in no wise to blame inasmuch as he issued it three days after he re- ceived it from the county treas- urer and it might be well to re- mark right here that this{record beats that of any other auditor in the state. The statement was unusually large and laborious and Mr. French and his deputy were both new to the work of getting it out which alone ac- counts for its lateness in appear- ing. All the auditors in the state could not have got it out sooner than did Coumy Auditm Sylvester.
