Barker, Jeweler BARKER’S DRUG STORE THE HUBERT POSTOFFIGE WAS LOOTED AND ROBBED Thieves Entered the Building and Stole Stamps and Merchandise, Making Successful Get-Away. The postoffice at Hubert, thirteen miles nortb 5f Brainerd on the M. & I. road, was broken into Tuesday night and robbed of stamps and stamped paper to the amount of $30 and $50, the stamps being of different denominations. The post- office is located in the general store of Tony Bnh_ike, who is the post- master, and is near the residence of Freeman. Thorpe. The robbery occurred at about midnight, as near as can be détermined, as about that time the family of Mr, Thorpe heard a noise which was sufficient to awaken them, but they did not think at the time anything unusual was going on and did not investi- gate it. The burglars broke into the build- ing and ransacked it from top to bottom, turning the goods over and selecting what they wanted, mostly consisting of rubbers and mittens, and departed without leaving any clue as to their identity. The mail in the postoffice was mixed up, but as far as the postmaster could ascertain at that time, nothing was taken except the stamps and a little change, which was left outside the safe. As no attempt was made to blow the safe it is not thought that the work was that of professionals. Baseball. The baseball “fans” of Bemidji will not be compelled to wait until next summer before they can loosen up their "rooting" for the great national, game. Two indoor baseball teams have already been organized in this city, and some twenty candidates for the two teams are practicing every afternoon in the skating rink so as to get into trim for the games which will be played during the winter. There are several old indaor ball players 1in this city, and as there are many players who have played the regular game, there is no doubt but this city can put two excellent teams of indoor baseball players into the field. R. E. Mitchell has been instru- mental in ° getting the players together, and is acting as tempor- ary manager. He has secured the necessary balls and bats, bases and other paraphernalia, with the ex- ception of swits, which will be forthcoming .in a few days. Of the regular team the following |8 have already been selected: Carter | ¢, Bush and Mitchell p, Arneson 1b; Govroe 2b, Benson 3b, Conibar and rf. For the second team there are the following players who are candi- dates: Getchell, Hilliby, Solberg, Lycan, Anderson, Dennis, Billadeau, McDonald, Foster and others. Arrangements are being made to play games. with outside teams and it is expected* that the Brainerd indoor ball team will play here next week, The management wil also try to arrange games with Crookston,Grand Rapids and other towns, and some good sport is assured this winter. Hearing Held Today. The county court house was crowded today with a crowd which was eager to hear the evidence given at” the preliminarv hearing of Tom Peterson, and ‘Mike Shea, charged with grand larceny. R. C. Bryant is the complaining witness in the case, and he’ charges the two defendants with having entered a room which hé occupied at the Lakeshore hotel and taking $50 belonging to Bryant. Bryant told about the same story/ as: was published in the Pioneer recently, but failed to positively identify either Peterson or Shea as the party who entered the room and knocked him through the window. The hearing was continued this Kermode ss, Carlton If, Grimoldby 3 and the defense presented its side of the case, Gibbons & Torrance| appearing as attorneys for Peterson and Shea, . i Waived Examination. Before Justice Slocum this morn- ing, Duncan McDougall waived ex- amination to the charge of assault| in the second degree, and was held to the grand jury in the sum of $1,000 bonds, which was’ furnished, and McDougall was released. | McDougall recently defied the authorities, at the point of a loaded revolver, to take him into custody! and threatened to exterminate the | entire police force and any other officials that disturbed his enjoyment of gun play. He was subsequently arrested by Deputy Sheriff J. N. Bailey and lodged in the county jail, DEGIDE NOT TO REBUILD MILES HOTEL IN HIBBING Messrs. Miles & Markham Gonclude | " to Abandon the Project, After Serious Consideration. Hibb ing, Dec. 12.—€. H. Miles and George Markham, proprietors of the Mileshotel, recently destroyed by fire, will leave Hibbing tomorrow. After much meditation they bhave abandoned all idea of rebuilding the hotel, much to the disappointment of the citizens of this place. The site, which is the best in the city, is still unsold, but Mr. Miles states that he has a purchaser in view: From now on Mr. Miles will devote his time and attention to the Majestic theatre at St. Paul, a new and up-to-date vaudeville playhouse, which he_ purchased some months | ago. He also has options on several good sites in Minneapolis, upon one| .of which he intends to build a house somewhat similar to the Majestic at| St. Paul. When the new theater is ready it will be managed by Mr. Markham. The decision of Messrs. Miles and Markham to dispose of their interests in Hibbing is met with great regret, the former especially having been closely identified with ‘Hibbing - for many years and always regarded as one of its most prominent and loyal business men.

Gregory Slayed Ferocious Beast that Attacked Him While He Was in the Woods.---Gregory Was Unarmed, but Displayed Cass Lake, Dec, 12.—(Special to Pioneer.)—W. H. Gregory, assis- tant superintendant of logging on had a narrow escape from being devoured the Chippewa reservation, by a large timber wolf yesterday. Mr. - Gregory was returning from J. Goss & Co.’s camp when he was startled by a big grey, ferocious- looking wolf making for him. He was unarmed, and found himself in a desperate condition. To flee was| useless, for it was at least two miles| to any habitation. There was no tree nearby which it was possible to climb, so Mr. Gregory concluded to fight the beast, hand to hand. Seiz- ing a'club he awaited the animal. Great Nerve. Feeling sure that he bad a fiue meal before him, the wolf attacked his antagonist, but was greeted by a heavy blow from a solid pine limb held by Mr. Gregory. The blow, which was struck on the animal’; jaw, dazed it, and Mr. eagerly took advantage beast’s groggy condition and beat till life was extinct. Mr. Gregory then wended his way £ home and reported his dangerous adventure. Later he escorted sev- eral people to the spot where the animal lay, and they were dumb- founded to believe thata human being could have the nerve to fight in such manner with so ferciousa beast. § Body of Oscar Solberg Buried. All that was mortal of the late Oscar Solberg, who died in this city Monday morning, was consigned to mother earth, in Greenwood ceme- tery, yesterday -afternoon. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church, at 2 o’clock. Rev. S. E. P. White officiating. Rev. White delivered a few impressive re- marks on the frailty of man and the assurance of peace in the life to come. There was a large attendance at the services, as the “sickness and death of Oscar and the conditions _surrouhding his illness were such as to have aroused a general feeling of symathy and pity. The father, sister and brotker of the deceased were in attendance at the funeral. Notice.
