HOUSEBREAIxING.

AT O'Clock last evening, the mistress of the
house fed tramp who had knocked at the door
and asked for something to cat Between nine
O'Clock and ten the family retired At three this
morning, / was somehow awakened, and heard
rustling in the room, but thought il TO be a win
dow curtain moved by the breeze. At the same
time She was aroused Neither moved nor said
word What is that says l after "a moment, Il
believe it is rainH says she. The rustling sound
Kept on for little while, regular as the rhythmic
hutter of some curtain in a gentle bnt regular
breeze, the steady patter of fine rain sometimes
against window. Then the sound interntjed
for n moment then began again for an instant,
then something with a bound sprang ont Of the
room where we slept, ana rushed downstairs, TAX
ing with il stick OF the bannister wrenched out
as the thing sought 10 break It's head long Eight,
downward 10 the ground floor and out into the
dining room ana kitchen 10 the window through
which it had entered. All this seemed TO be the
terrible movement Of some wild beast. thought
it was huge dog. The creature had plunged
down the flight of stairs, all fours apparently,
and regaining its feet at the bottom, had sped
through the house, out doors, carrying heavy
tables ont of place, in its course aud putting 9th
things in disorder Striking a light we found
gone all the money there was in the house-tyO
dolars,-and my silver watch, my penknife, scis-
sors and vest The drawers of the bureaus and
tables had been rummeged. The window through
which the shape had come was open. II appears
that there were two of them. The hired girl had
heard low voices in the night in the room be-
meath hers as she says this morning bat thought
it was the people Of the house talking. She heard
the racket Of the tables and things, in the exodus
Of the hellious and got scared too.
There is just thin PARTITION between the fan
cied security of our houses and homes and the
midnight horror and shock of nerves.
Among other traces left by the robbers was a

By the Pioneer Press of Monday
we see that Mr.. j. b. Bell committed
suicide last Sunday at the Jay Cook
House, in Moorhead. The old settlers of
Superior will rembmber Mr., Bell as
editor Of this paper, back in 1889, we
believe, it then being called the Chron-
icle. One of his sons is member of
the banking firm OF Bell & Eyster of
Duluth, another lives at Bislnark, and
q daughter, Mrs. NJ. G Russell, at
Anoka, Mimi. No particular cause is
assigned for the rash act. He was
about SO years of age.

AT last it seems that General J.

railroad scheme to connect primarily
West Superior, secondly Duluth, with
a grand trunk connection to the east.
He is said to have secured ample cap

are let calling for the completion of
the road November /, 1897. This

will become of some of the little fell

In the Duluth News we find this
fattering notice of one Of our popular
young ''grangers:"
K. G. Hanna one of the popular
young men of West Superior, was reg
istered at the st. Louis today. Mr.
Hanna is one of those far sighted
young men, whose example is worthy
Of imitation. He has a bonanza
wheat farm in Dakota, which produc-
ed good wheat crop last year. This
year being afraid of low prices, he
planted potatoes, and has no reason
for regret.
