Last Friday morning the safein the Erskin & Stackhouse establishment at Cohasset was blowo by cracksmen and some $450 in cash taken and the men made a safe getaway. The job was done just as the pas- sepger train pulled out and the ex- plosion was not heard by anyone and was.not known of for about a half hour when the night marshal in mak- ing bis rounds discovered the store full of smoke and gave the alarm. Investigation showed that the safe had been bluwn with nitroglycerine and all the money taken. Grand Rapids and Deer River officials were immediately notified, and it is sup- posed the burglars escaped to the west on a speeder belonging to the Itasca logging company that two men bad taken the preceeding day, as some time after the robbery this was beard to approach Deer River by officers on the lookout but was stop- ped just east of town and its occu- pants made their escape without be- ing seen. ; Several suspects have been arrested and examined but so far the guilty parties have not been apprehended. The work was undoubtedly done by experts. GRAND RAPIDS VS. BEMIDJI A Hot Game in Which Neither Team Could Score. A close and very exciting game of foot ball was pulled off Sunday after- noon at the southside grounds be- tween the company K team of Be- midji and the local city team. Company K won the toss and kick- ed off to the locals who received the ball on their thirty yard lire and by a series uf line smashes and end runs returned it to the center of the field where they lost it in downs. The ball alternated back and forth in the center of the field and the only time that either goal was in danger was when Meyers clever drop-kick bounded off the top of one of the up- rights of the Bemidji goal. Many of the spectators believed that this should bave counted as a field goal for the locals but the referee decided that, 1n so much as the ball had bounded out and away from the cross- | bar of the goal instead of in and over it, he could not call it a goal. The half ended without a score for either side. In the second half the locals kicked- off to the visitors and the ball was soon brought to the center of the field where 1t remained for some time, first in the possession of one side and then the other. At about the close of the half the locals succeeded in working the ball to within three yards of the Bewidji goal-line where they lost it in downs. The last half ended soon after with the ball near the center of the tleld, in the posses- sion of the visitors. Final score Company K 0, Grand Rapids 0. The game although exciting was not well played. Two of the locals, LaFrenier at tackle and Myers at half-back played brilliantly, but team work was wasted and fumbles were altogether too numerous. It can however be said in defense of the locals that they have had but very little practice and had to put into the game two men who had never before lined up with the team Tne Bemidji boys were alot of fine, gentlemanly fellows, and in that re- spect far ahead of any team that has ever represented Bemidji on the local grounds. Their play showed lack of practice but is was bard and clean, and they show signs of developing into astrong and fast team, Poor Duck Shooting. But few ducks have appeared so far this season but the cold weather of the past few days should set theducks moving when it is expected that shooters will have something to show for their gunning. Wild rice all over northern Minnesotais a bumper crop and when the ducks come down from the north they will probably tarry until it freezes up. Tomorrow opens the season for partridge shooting but in this im- mediate vicinity there is no plethora of birds and shooters will have to make long trips to get decent shoot- ing. | Grand Uapids Herald-Review. Two Dollars a Year. A POLITICAL FORECAST The Herald-Review Presents the Names of Winners. A TICKET THAT WE ARE PROUD OF | Voters Can Make No Mistake by Electing the Following Well Known People To Serve the County. Auditor—M. A. SPANG. Treasurer—A. A. KREMER. Clerk of Court—I. D. RASSMUSSEN. Sheriff—T. T. RILEY. Register of Deeds—E. J. McGOWAN. Judge of Probate—H. S. HUSON. Attorney—FRANK F. PRICE. Surveyor—JOHN A. BROWN. Coroner—THOS. RUSSEL. Superintendent of Schoolsk—HATTIE F. BOOTH Commissioners: 1st District—CYRUS M. KING. 2nd District—MORRIS O'BRIEN, 3rd District—JNO. P. TREBILCOCK 4th District—NEIL MULLINS. 5th District—-ARCHIE McWIL- LIAMS. We wish to call the attention of our readers this week to the ticket which we have placed at the head of this column, and which we feel con- fident will meet with your approval. Every name represents the very best candidate possible and in placing them thus prominentiy before you and urging their election the Herald-Re- view but voices the sentiment of the community in which they live. Several of them aresogoud that their election is so certain that they are without opposition. Of these we need but make brief mention. M. A. Spang, the present county auditor, has served the citizens of Itasca county for four years and his office is a model for the counties of the state. Mat, by his close applica- tion to business, and obliging man- | ners has endeared himself to the | citizens of the county and is without Opposition. A. A. Kremer served the county as treasurer from 1894 to 1898 and was succeeded by C. C. Miller. In 1904 Mr. Kremer was again elected and for the past four years has performed his duties so satisfactionally that the taxpayers have decided to again elect him and he will go to the polls in November without opposition. Everybody knows E. J. McGowan | our presentyefficient register of deeds. | Ed is just completing his fourth year in office and has done his work so well that opposition was not even suggested. Clerk of Court I. D. Rassmussen, or Rass as everybody calls him, is a young man but the oldest official in point of service in Itasca county having served for 12 years and has no apposition to centend with this year. His election is conceeded. H, S. Huson, judge of probate, isa veteran of the civil war, was appointed judge of probate by the governor in 1901 and has three times been elected to succeed himself. The judge is an efficient official, careful and pain- staking in his work, and will have the vote of the entire county. For sheriff we present the name of | T. T. Rey. Mr. Riley, during the | primary canvass, conducted himself in such a manner that his friends are now numbered by the hundreds. A resident of Nashwauk and but little known outside of the eastern range, Mr. Riley quietly made a winning campaign and secured the nomination over an exceptionally strong map. We predict his election and can as- sure our readers that in placing Mr. | will make no mistake in Riley in the sheriff's office the voters of ltasca county will have one of the best officials ever. The canvas for votes between Mr. Riley and his op- ponent will be a clean one. Mr. Rid~- dell the Democratic nominee, is an old resident of Grand Rapidsand has served the village as president for four terms with credit to himself and the community and the rivalry be- tween the contestants will be @ friendly one. The selection of Frank F. Price for county attorney assures the services of one of the most able attorneys now practicing at the bar. Mr. Price is absolutely feerless and his selection for this important office will be but a just recognition of his many sterling qualities. We recomend him for your consideration. John A. Brown has served the county as surveyor long and faithfully and his work both in the field and office is his best recomendation. He will again be returned by a handsome majority. Doctor Thomas Russell the present coroner having no opposition wil} surely succeed himself. Mrs. Hattie F. Booth has gained such a hold on the affections of parents and pupils throughout the county during her administratcion of the county schoul affairs that she @is- tanced all competitors at the pri- maries and will go to the polls in November without opposition. She is an able, efficient officer and will be her own successor. Next year the board commissioners will in a measure than ever need to be com- posed of able business men. Many guestions will come up for dispesa) that will require long-headed fore- sight and good business acumen for proper disposal and we believe the gentiemen named above will best’ conserve the public interest. In the first district Cyrus M. King has already made an enviable record as a hard worker, a man of great ex- ecutive ability and one of the best posted commissioners the county has ever had. Mr. King has served the county as commissioner for twenty months and is pretty proud of the work hehas done. The road work of his district bas been closely looked of county greater after and he is always found working and voting for the best interests of the county. He is entitled to election on his past record. Morris O’Brien and Neil Mullins of Te- j the second and fourth districts re- spectively have served four years as commissioners and are ia close touch with the needs of the county and the best methods to pursue in all matters connected with its administration. Both are successful business men ip their chosen walk of life and give to the affairs of the county the same careful consideration that has made them in their private affairs and the voters of the county successful retaining. their services. Joho P. Trebilcock of the third district is a resident of Coleraine and bas been indentified with the iron range in Itasca county from its in- fancy. He is practicully the wnani- mous choice of his district and wil add materially to thestrength of that body. He is well posted on the duties of the office and familiar with the needs of his district, and the affairs of the third district as well as those of the entire county will be safe in his hands. Archie McWilliams of Nashwauk, candidate for commissioner in the fifth district, is an old resident of Itasca county, coming to Grand Rapids in the early days when there was more talk of trails than roads and has seen the wonderful growth an@ development that has taken place. He is a wide-awake, progressive citi- zen and has no opposition in his dis- trict. He will prove a valuable ac- quisition to the board. With these five men sitting asa board of county commissioners the affairs of the county will be fairly and impartially expedited, every district} will be represented by an able man and the taxpayers may depend upon getting full value of every dollar of expenditure.
