There was quite little excitement
here ON Sunday, over the arrest of one

Winnipeg officials. Rolf had been charg-
ed with having stolen $75 and skipped
across to this side. The officers tried
first to induce him to cross by batting
him with a pretended letter from his
brother but he would not bite. They
then forcibly seized him and tool him
across in u cutter, whereupon some OF
the citizens took the matter in hand and
sent affidavits setting forth the case to
the U. s..consul at Winnipeg; not that
Neche would protect thief, but we can.
not permit Manitoba officials to come
over here and violate our laws. We
will not allow the British lion to swing
his tail across here without giving it a
twist.

TIE PIONEER EXPRESS is printed this
week on new, improved Minnesota
stop cylinder power press. This press
weighs two tons and the work of setting
it up and putting it in running order this
week was no holiday chore. A power
printing press is sometimes procured
chiefly as an advertising expedient, but
with the PIONEER EXPRESS it had become
necessity owing to our large and increas-
ing circulation. Of course this is not by
any means disagreeable necessity, even
though the cost of the press $500 is no
trifie these times. The PIONEER EXPRESS
office is now thoroughly equipped. With
our new printing press and our large
=" Peerless" jobber and the recent adj
ditions to our type cases, we are now
better prepared than ever before to
attend to the wants of the public in the
line of printing. Having got our new
printing press in good working order we
beg to announce that we are now ready
for 1000 new subscribers.
