‘:AT LENGBY Store ‘ot 'Shterstrom & Lindh : Entpred Last Night by Unknown Thieves. “SECURED $150 IN CASH™ AND MADE GETAWAY. Lengby‘Men Suspected of Having Hand in Affair—Secarch Warrants Out. The general store of Sater- strom & Lindh at Lengby,a small station on the Great Northern east of Crookston, was entered last night and robbed of $150 in cash. Entrance was made through the front door. The safe was left unlocked, so that all the robbers had to do was to break open the inside drawers. A num- ber of Erskine men are suspect ed of having a hand in the affair, and search warrants are out. This makes at leasta dozen robberies that have occurred in northern Minnesota during the past year. Erskine, Wilton,Leng- by and other small towns along the line of the Great. Northern between Bemidji and Crookston have all been visited, and in some cases the robbers have been so bold as to blow up the postoffice safes. The local police have been noti fied of the affair and are keeping a sharp lookout for the robbers. No description of the men has been furnished. however, and it is quite probable, even should they arrive in Bemidji, that they would go unmolested. Mrs. Dr. Prentice with trained dogs and birds at City Opera house tonight, BROUGHT ON HIS OWN DEATH Postmaster at Baudette Says That Gannon Was Cause of All the Trouble. As yet there has been nothing heard from Baudette in a direct way concerning the Gannon mur- der affair and the result of the investigation by County Attor- ney Loud, Sheriff Bailey and Coroner Marcum is yet unknown. The following story is told of the affair by J. T. Williams, post- master at Baudette, which goes to show that Ganron was the cause of most of the trouble that finally lead up to his killing: ‘“Last Wednesday Gannon had two Norwegians arrested for cut- ting timber on government land. The men were working for an- other party and were clearing a place on the Spooner townsite for the erection of a new building. The men were fined $35or 60 days by Justice Ryler. The fine was reduced by stages to $5 and when the men were advised by friends to pay nothing Gannon struck one of them over the face, which was laid open with his cane. “This incensed the Spooner residents and Saturday a delega- tion of the fifteen came to Bau- dette and told Gannon, who' was in my store, that he must leave town or they would make him, Gannon refused as he did when told togoa second time. Gan- non got ugly and threatened to shoot one of my teamsters named Watson and another man during the day. “The shooting was done after the Spooner delegation had start ed for home Saturduy evening. I do not believe any one of them are implicated in tho shooting. I thinkit was done by some friends of the two Norwegians Gannon had arrested. Watson had sworn out a warrant for the arrest of Gannon just before the shooting occurred, but it had not been served. “While there is regret felt over the shooting, there is a feel- ing of relief that Gannon is gone for good.” Nothing to mar the feelings of the most fastidous is the ex- pressions of criticism given Dr. and Mrs. Prentice. Their show is the best for the least money and is enjoyed by all. If you wish to see the dogs per- form. go to the Opera house to- night.

Blaze at Nymore l.ast nght Does Damage to Extent of $300. Fire broke outin the ware: house of the O. J. Tagley store at Nymore last night at 6 o’clock and before the flames could be brought undor control damage to the extend of $300 had been done, $100 to the-building and $200 to the stock. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it i1s believed that a case of matches stored in the warehouse had been entered by mice, and this is given as the cause of the blaze. The Nymore fire department was called out and in the course of an hour the flames were entirely subdued. PETITION IS TURNED DOWN BlackduckCity Council Takes No Action to Enforce the State Law. The petition of the Blackdvck citizens asking the city council to take action to enforce the state law in that city was turned down at the meeting of the council Monday night, the council refus ing to take any action in the mat- ter whatever, Tne petition to the governor, asking him to close up the town, is yet in the hands of the agibators who circulate it, and it is very probable that the matter will now be dropped in- definitely. It was reported that this petition had been forwarded to the governor, but the report was found later to be untrue. Mrs. Dr. Prentice with trained dogs and birds at City Opera House tonight, WO00D RATE CONVENTION Important Measures Taken at Meeting Held in Black- duck Last Night. Delegates to the wood rate convention at Blackduck met at the city hall in that city last night to formulate definite plans for securing a reduction in the rates for hauling cordwood from north ern Minnesota to the western markets. W. G. Schroeder and J.J. Opsahl represented Bemidji, while the other cities that were represented at the meeting are Kelliher, Funkley, Blackduck, Farley, Tenstrike and Turtle River. L. G. Townsend, chair- man of the Blackduck comercial club, presided at the meeting, A general discussion resulted in a number of plans being suggested and it wes decided that for the present no delegates would be sent to St. Paul to interview the rallway officials. The matter will be taken up with the railway companies by correspondence, and unless this plan succeeds in securing a lower rate, delegates will be appointed to interview the offiicials. It is thought how- eyer, that when a complaint is made by letter to the companies by a delegation representing so large a per cent of the state af- fected by wond rates, that they will look into the matter and ac- ceed to the demands of the dele- gates, providing the demands are fair, S If you wishto see the dogs perform, go to the Opera House tonight. Edward Wold Looks for Re-|- lative Who Owns Valuable Claim Near Bemidji. TOWNSITE TO BE LOCATED- ON THE LAND. Man Suddenly Disappeared l.asti November—Believed Dead by Relatives, One of the most peculiar dis-| appearances in the history of! northern Minnesota has come to light in the absence of Magnus E. Wold, who owns a valuable!} claim in the town of Buzzle about eight miles west of Bemidji. and whose whereabouts have been unknown since last November. Wold had lived on the land for nearly five years and left last Angust for North Dakota, where he was engaged in the harvest fields, and he intended to return to the claim to: make final proof It has developed, however, that since last November he has not visited. the land and it is thought by relatives of the missing man that he is dead. Edward Wold of Walker, a brother of the man, arrived in tbe city last night and consulted Attorney Henry Funkley about the matter. He gave the facts of the case as outlined above and | stated that not the slightest clue had been found to indicate what had become of his brother. He stated, however, that he belieyed the man dead, ‘as had he been alive he would certainly have re- turned to his homestead, as he had lived there almost five years and it would have required only a short time for him to remain on the homestead before the proof could be made. Mr. Wold left this morning for the home stead of his brother to investi- gate the affair. The land is located on the line of the Crookston Lumber com- pany’s new loggings spur'being built north from Wilton and it is claimed that a townsite is being platted upon it. If this be true the land will be worth several thousands of dollars. A contest has been instituted against the land by Jacob Near, and the case will come up for trial the latter part of the pres- ent month. The missing man’s relatives heard nothing of his disappearance until they had learned that a contest had been instituted against him, and upon making inquiries learned tnat he had been absent from the land and that his ceighbors had heard nothing of him since he left for the harvest fields. It is believed that Wold may have been the man who fell un- der a Great Northern train be- tween Grand Forks and Mallory last November and was killed, but this man was indentified by a tramp who claimed he had seen him in Grand Forks several days before the accident. Coroner Chesterman of Polk county was: called up by telephone last night and asked for a description of the remains of the man who was killed, and the description re- ceived does not tally with that of Wold, as the man picked up had nothmfl upon his person except- ing some tobacco, while it is very probable that Wold would have bad his watch and the money which he earned while working in the harvest fields.

The Northland Pme company operating on the reservation in the vicinity of Walker,have about completed their lngvmv opera- tions for ‘this season, the total cut for the ten camps is about 82,000,000 feet. which will. be banked on Leech lakeand Pine lake. The logs in Leech lake will be hoisted and hauled by the M. & I. to Minneapolis to be saw- ed in the Backus—Brooks mill which was purchased by the j Northland company. The logs ilanded in Pine lake were mostly hauled by the new Lombard log hauler which was in use on their works this past season. When the soft spell came in February there-was about 16,000,000 feet on skids and in the woods, but by constant effort of Mr. James Long, the superintendent, and his foremen, he landedall but 8,500,000. Of these logs they have about 1,500,000 to put in yet. That is dray haul. The Pine lake by the Cross Lake railway to Cross Lake, Cass county, and Mississippi to Minneapolis. Mr. F. W. Rayburn lcoked after the government interests and Mr. P. Kennedy for the Indians under Maj Scott. The work has pro- gressed harmopiously under their supervision and all parties concerned are well pleased. The Northland people have put in the full 25 per cent of the estimate as was required under the Morris Act. MUD SLIDES TO BE STOPPED Great Northern Starts Con- tests With Sliding Soil Near Solway. In order to cope with dame nature and the gigantic mud slides which have occurred on the long Solway logging spur of the road during the spring the Great Northern this morning sent out a work train of t,went.y cars manned by two hundred section men scattered between this city and the scece of the trouble. The “mud slides” occasioned by the spring rains and the clay cuts throigh which the stretch of of logging Toad runs haye com- pletely obliterated the rails from sight and the work of shoveling out the track and getting the road in readiness for the annual summer haul of logs will require several days of hard work upon the part of the train load of sec tion men who are to undertake the work. Roadmaster Nelson will have charge of the operations and hopes to have the entire logging spur cleared before Wednesday evening. Every section man on the Great Northern between this city and Solwaywill be picked up by the special work train and day and night work will be done if necessary to clear the tracks of the accumulation mud which at the present time is several feet deep.

Barker’s drug “store and get a pocketful of Wadsworth Bros.’ “Chicos,” a 5c cigar that what may be called the **Chicos” habit. It is far more sensible to smoke -a good ¢ cigar like the “Chico’’ (and there is no other 5¢ cigar like it) than to pay double the price and get no better smoke. It is made with a clear, long Ha vana filler, and is especially pleas ing to the man who has been smoking a 10c or two for a quart- er cigar. It burns freely, and tastes good clear to the stub. Try a “Chico,” and see if you, too, do not get into the habit of frequenting E. A.

Crookston Times: Several cases of glanders have developed during the past few weeks on the Hannan farm near Davidson, this county, and State Vetnrmax) Ward of St. Paul was called up last week to investigate. He found that the horses afflicted have been at work in the woods near Bemidji during the winter and very likely contracted the disease from horses with which they were quartered. All of the amimals ill with the disease were immediat’ly quaratined and stringent measures adopted to ' prevent the spread of the discase. {One was shot a week ago and the others will plOb'lb]y have to meet a similar fate as they have the disease in a very bad type, according to State Veterinary Ward. In the neighberhood of this city there are no cases at all and the general health of stock and horses was never better, despite the lurid reports which were sent out last fall in regard to the damage rusted straw would do to live stock bf the valley farms. |Serious Stomach Trouble Cured.
