BLEW UP THE SAFE Safe Robbers Strike at Cass| Lake and Make a Clean Get Away. ROBBERY OCCURRED AT TWO 0'CLOCK LAST NIGHT. There Is No Clue Whatéver to The Perpetrators Of The Crime. Is there a gang of safe robbers operating through this section of northern Minnesota? Several attempts at safe rob- bery have been made of late in this section, Shevlin and Gon- vick being the scene of the most recent. Last night a safe was blown open and rifled at Cass Lake. Suspicion grows strong- erthat all this is the work of an organized band of robbers. Last night between two and three o’clock the grocery store of Miller & Sarff at Cass Lake was entered through a window. The bolts of the safe door were loos: ened and the safe charged with nitro-glycerine. The explosion, although unheard outside the store, drove the door of the safe through the ceiling of the store and the robbers secured $20 in money and a check drawn in fa- vor of August Johnson on the Neils Lumber Companyifor $47.50. Tools were secured by the robbers at a near by blacksmith shop and a quantity of oats was also stolen from the blacksmith shop. The cash box of the safe was found this morning in the rear of the Spaulding hotel. Otherwise there is no clue what- ever to the perpetrators of the crime. A policeman passed the store before two o’clock and shortly after three so that the robbery must have been committed be- tween “those hours. All the cir- cumstances surrounding the robbery go to indicate that it was committed in the saine man- ner as the attemptat Shevlin so that it may have been done by the same persons, Will Go Down Big Fork. B. F. Fowler of Two Harbors was in the city yesterday and spent a few hours with George H. French.

Artz Has Held Witness Stand During - Afternoon—Much Interest In Case. It is confidently expected by the attorneys for F. J. Artz, who is now on trial at the court house for the Kkilling of his neighbor, John Weilander, that their client will be acquitted, and it seems to be a general opinion among those who have heard the testi- wony that he will go scot free. The state concluded its prose- cutions last night, nine witnesses having been examined. The de- fense opened their case this morning and examined two wit- nesses this forenoon. Thisafter- noon Artz was called upon the stand and has been subjected to a close examination. Up to the time of going to press he had not told the story of the shooting, but it is probable that the attor- neys will be through with him this afternoon and will rest their case tonight. The state will take up its re- buttal tomorrow forenoon pro- viding the examination of the witnesses 1s concluded today and the case will in all probability go to the jury tomorrow afternoon. Considerable interest is mani- sested in the trial. and a number of ladies occupy seats in the court room, APPORTIONMENT Beltrami’s Share of State School Apportionment Aggre- gates $4259.20.

DUNN BY 60,000 So Says Wm. McCuaig After Trip Through South- ern Minnesota. ALL IS ACTIVITY AT DUNN'S HEADQUARTERS. Dunn Men Waging Vigorous o Fight in Hennipen And Claim the County, Wm. McCuaig returned this morning from a week’s trip to St. Paul and other points in southern Minnesota. Mr. Mec- Cuaig says that the bitter faction- al fight which is being waged against Mr. Dunn is simply spurring his friends and the re- publican state central committee to greater efforts and he confi- dently predicts Dunn’s election by from 40,000 to 50,000 votes. Mr. McCuiag reports that not much betting is being done at present although Princeton peo- ple are offering $100 to $25 on Dunn, and some bets have been placed at these figures. General sentiment throughout southern Minnesota is strong for Dunn and even in Minnea- polis where the whole of the factional tight against Dunn centers, the republican nominee has a strong following and the state committee is confident that Dunn will carry the city. All is activity at the commit- tee’s headquarters. Mr. Me- Cuaig says that the election of James Martin as a member of the committee and placing him in charge of the active work of the campaign has created the best impression throughout the state. FIGHT IT Determined Efforts Will Be Made To Reduce Forest Re- serve Area, Gilbert Pinchot, chief of the bureau of forestry, in his an- nual report will recommend that there be no amendments to the Minnesota Chippewa forest legis- lation which is commonly known as the Morris bill.

But although Chief Pinchot’s views will be indorsed by Secre- tary of the Interior Hitchcock, it is known that strong efforts will be made at the coming session of congress to cut the national Min- nesota forest reserve down toa nominal area and open the part set off to settlement, Congressman Steenerson and probably Congressman Buck- man, representing the districts: in which the reserve is located, differ with Pinchot and the de- partment. It is reported that J. Adam Bede favors alarge forest re- serve. The matter will be fought out between the Minnesota delega- tion and the department. One of Many. H. A, Tisdale, of Summerton, S.

CIRCULATE PETITION REQUEST- ING COUNCIL TO INTERFERE. Claimed That Business as Well as Social Interests Would ~“Be Threatened. A petition was circulated yes- terday afternoon by members of the Retail Liquor Dealers asso- ciation of the city requesting the city council to interfere with the starting of a variety theater in the old theater building on S:c- ond street. The petition was generally circulated throughout the city and received the signa- tures of nearly every member of the saloon fraternity. The proposition of starting the show house has been in an em- bryo stage for some time and it was not gererally known, but the money for selling intoxicat- ing liquors has been placed in the hands of the city council and the application of the promoters of the house will be acted upon at the meeting of the council after the publication of the notice. The promoters are from Virginia and the application is made by L. Buck & Co. They are said to be experienced in the business, hav- ing conducted theaters of a like nature for a number of years in different parts of the country. Should the petition of the liquor dealers be turned down, the building on Second street will be remodeled and a new stage. thea- ter chairs and other needed im- provements will be made. Among other features which the pro- moters haye 1n mind will be num- erous exits and an asbestos cur- tain. An ordinance passed when the old theater was operated in the same building required a license fee of $150 per month, and the new managers are said to be willing to pay this amount pro- viding they are allowed to oper- ate the place. The petition of the liguor deal ers presents as their objection to the venture that it will materi- ally interfere with certain lines of business in the city, as well as be a serious menace to society. The members of the village coun- cil have not as yet been ap proached regarding the matter and it is not known what action they will take upon the petition. STRUCK ROCK Superintendent Pogue Has Trou- ble in Digging New Wells For City. Superintendent Pogue of the city water works went to Grand Rapids this afternoon where he will try - to secure a drill with which to complete the new wells which his crew is now digging and which will furnish water for the city upon their completion. A large flat rock was struck at a depth of 103 feet and all the ef- forts of Mr. Pogue to get through it have so far been useless. Two pounds of dynamite was placed in the well and exploded this morning but the rock was not broken. The work on the new wells has necessarily been delayed for some time; but Mr. Pogue is confident that with the drilling mechine the wells will be completed in short order. RUSSELL TO RUN P. J.
