NEAR THE LAKE, BEM]DSI THE BEAUTIFUL. PIGK POGKETS MAKE SEVERAL BOLD HOLDUPS Citizens Fleeced of Money and Jewelry by Bold Highwaymen.---Rob- bers Escape. ~ Several bold robberies occured in the city yesterday. From then um- ber and character of these it is thought that a gang of about eight men were operating in this city. Yesterday noon Mr. Klevin of this city had a wallet containing about $20in cash and $4000 in drafts stolen from him just before the train pulled out at the Great Northern depot. He was jostled by a crowd and did not see the thief. Later in the afternoon, the wallet was re- turned to him through the post office, it having been found in a street letter box. The cash had been taken but the darfts were left. J. W. Willock, 2 salesman travel- ing for the Princess line of dress goods and who has been in and out of tifls city for the last five years, was about to board the parlor car on the west-bound train ‘when the porter pushed him back to allow some passengers to get off the train, Immediately, four men closed around him. The crowd was pushing and he, realizing that the men were after his diamond stud, reached for it in his tie, to find it gone. Three of the men jumped on the train and went trough, two getting off the smoking car and the third going out the back end of the parlor car. The men were soon lost in the crowd around the depot. The diamond was valued at $250, being one and one- half carats in weight. S. O. Refsdahl, a farmer living twelve miles north of Solway, bought his ticket and had a wallet containing $108 in checks and $50 in cash in his pocket at that time. He boarded the train and, fifteen minutes later, found that it was gone. Mr. Refsdahl immediately telegraphed his loss to the sheriff and to T..J, Britt,a special agent of.the Great Northern, who was in thecity. His money was not re- covered. Another man at the same train felt some one pulling his wallet out of his pocket and grasped the man’s arm. The wallet was dropped on the platform and a policeman ar- rested the second man. He was allowed to go but later more evi- dence was found and it is thought he is the guilty party. i . Mahara Minstrels at Colisenm this evening, adults 50 children 25¢. Serious Trolley Accident.

During the day the splendid Mahara Minstrel band, under the leadership of Quali Clark, appeared on the streets and captured every- body with their excellent music. They have a high grade of music and there are seyeral solos of merit in the band.
