Lycan & Co. of Crookston Are Making an Effort to Purchase Valuable Bemidji Property—If No Sale Is Made, Lycan May Lease the Hostelry. There is a probability that the Markham hotel, the pioneer hoetelry of Bemidji, and one of the best of the first-class hotels in the northern half of the state, will be sold or leased within the next three or four days. Negotiations have teen under way for the past week between W. 8. and F. S. Lycan of Crooks- ton, owners of the Hotel Crooks- ton, and Mrs. Belle Markham, administratrix of the estate of Joseph Markham, deceased, for purchased by W. 8. Lycan & Co, and that they would conduct the hotel in the future, and it was the intention to run it in a first- class manner and make it such areputation as has the Hotel Crookston. Mr. Lycan said of the deal: 1t is the intention that either myself or my brother will be at the Bemidji hotel practically all the time, and we will give just as careful attention to that hotel as we do to the Hotel Crookston.” 1 the sale or lease of the property by the Lycan’s. Both of the gentlemen have been in Bemidji, endeavoring to secure a sale or lease. The negotiations have pre- gressed to the stage of lease papers having been drawn up, but they have not yet been sigred and the deal closed. W. S. Lycan returned to Crookston Wednesday night. F.S. Lycan left for home last night, and the deal hangs fire for the present. From Crookston comes an interview had with W. S. Lycan, in which the latter stated that the hotel property had been Mr. Lycan was premature in his statement that the deal has been closed, as the papers are still at the office of Chester 'McKnsick, attorney for the Markham estate, and have not been signed or delivered. The Markham is one of the most desirable hotel properties ! in the state northof the twin cities. | The hotel was erected ¢ight years ago, by J. M. Markham, The | building was a small affair at that time, but additions were built to the main part until the present hostelry of more than 100 rooms was obtained. It has been a pay- ing proposition, and is valuable property. .

Fisher, Aug. 24.—(Special to the Pioneer )—The postoffice at Halstad, about twenty-five miles south of Crookston was entered on Wednesday night, the safe blown dpen and $400 in stamps and $30 in cash taken, the parties comuitting the robbery making their escape undetected and unharmed. The safe was blown in the same manner as the one at Mentor, soap pockets being used to store the nitro-glycerine. That the robbery was committed by the same skilled gang that operated:at Mentor and Crcoks- ton there is' no doubt as the methods used were indentical in each case. Three suspects were arrested here yesterday by the sheriff and a posse of citizens of Crookston, and it is belived that the right wen have beencaptared.

They overiook the fact that a Hanan shoe at its price gives the wear of two pairs of the kind they buy. They forget, also, that a HANAN SHOE S offers more real comfort when new than their kind of shoes offer after months of wear—that it starts out a smart, stylish shoe and ends just as smart and stylish.
