- BANK SOLD Jo.hn' S. Tucker and J.Ro- sholt of Minneapolis Buy Bemidji Institution. WILL BE CONVERTED INTO A NATIONAL BANK. Number of Improyements to the Building Will Be Made by New Owners. John J. Tuckerand J. Rosholt of Minneapolis, have purchased the Lumbermens State bank of, this city, and are now converting it into a national bank. It will be known hereafter as “The Lumbermens National Bank of Bemidji.” Messrs. Tucker and Rosholt are old bankers, and are well known throughout the northwest, having organized and are now operating over 20 banks in this state and North Dakota. Besides banking, they are also interested in manufac- turing aund farm loaning. We were told that they con- template remodeling the present | bank building, putting ina new front in order to bring the build- ing out on aline withthe othernew bricks in the block; and they also expect to put in new fixtures and finish the inside of the bank with hard:wood throughout, making it an up-to-date banking room in every respect. Mr. Brooks will be retained as cashier, and will have the actual management of the bank as heretofore. Mr. Baumbach has for some- time been arranging to retire from active business, having dis- posed of the Iron Range Electric Telephone company sometime ago. He disliked very much to dispose of the bank here, and did 80 only after he had assured him- self positively that the interests of all the friends and depositors of the old bank would be per- fectly protected and in as good, if not better hands, under the management of Messrs. Tucker and Rosholt. The bank will commence opera- tions under the national system as soon as the papers can be se- cured from Washington. ~Authorize Favorable Report. | Washington, March 30.—The house committee on ways and means today authorized a favor- able report on the free alcohol bill.

The largest crowd that ever at. tended a band concert in Bemidji was present in the city hall last night when the Bemidji band rendered its regular monthly in- door concert. The concert last evening was the most successful and interesting by far of any that have been given, and a marked improvement was noticed in the band. The program was started with Chambers’ ‘Amicizia” march by the band and was fol- lowed by an overture by Kelsey, also played by the band. Miss Maud McCauley rendered a very pretty vocal selection which was followed by a cornet solo by} Director Symington, which was encored. Miss Maud McCauley played an excellent piano solo af- ter which the band rendered the march “The City of Bemidji,” composed by Mr. Symington and played for the first time last night. The new march is an ex- cellent production and contains some fine harmony, as was evi- denced by the liberal encore it received. The piano duet, Liszt’s Phapsody No. 2, rendered by Mrs. R. B. Foster and Miss Blanche Boyer, was one of the most pleasing numbers on the program and drew am encore. E.R. Ryan’s banjo solo wasgood. The program was concluded by a cornet duet played by Messrs. Symington and Nelson and a characteristic march, “Happy Heinie,” by the band. The dance which followed the concert was largely attended and an excellent time was enjoyed. BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY Hold-Up Artist Tried to Work Game on Beltrami Avenue Last Evening. A bold attempt at robbery oc- curred last night on * Beltrami avenue, between Second and Third street, when an unknown man attempted to hold up a man named Nichols, a woodsman who irecently arrived from the woods with a large amount of money. Nichols was in a saloon and be- came acquainted with two men who induced him to go outand down the street. He had reached a point near the alley between Second and Third streets when he was violently seized and held by a third man, who ran his hand into Nichols’ pocket. For- tunately, Nichois had his hand in his pocket containing the money and the would-be robber was frightened away by his cries of ‘‘Police” before he had time to secure anything. Nichold had $120 in his pocket. The police have placed one man under ar- LUMRERMENS |BAND CONCERT MAKES HAUL| Did Gleyer;Stunt at Great Northern Depot Yester- day Afternoon. ——— ‘ SECURED $111 FROM TWo0 MEN BOARDING TRAIN. Three Men in the Part;'—Police Have Been Unable to Find Perpetrators.! S . o~ 7 Some of the cleverest work in the pickpocket line ever done in Bemidji was perpetrated yester- day afterneon at the Great North- ern depot, where two men were relieved of $111, one man losing $100 ond the other $11, The thefts were committed while the west bound passenger train was standing at the depot. One of the men robbed, a travel- ing man, bought a ticket at the cashier’s window in the depot and placed the change and his pocketbook in his hip pocket. While boarding the train a man crowded up behind him and suc- ceeded in extracting the pocket- book from his pocket, making his escape successfully and also perpetrating the same trick upon another man in identically the same manner before the train started, The police were notified of the affair and made a search for three men whose descriptions they were furnished and who, it is believed compose a gang of professional pickpockets. A very good description was given of the man who did the work and the police are confident that they will finally land the trio in jail. It seems that an organized band of these men are operating in this section of Minnesota. In Crookston the other day a man stopping * at one of the hotels in that city was relieved of a large sum of money in precisely the same mam;'ér and itis very prob- able . that the same gang did the work in Bemidji yesterday.
