Il. J. Moore store was barglarized
last Monday night. The burglar, or
burglars, gained an entrance to the
store by cutting hole through the
back door and unlocking and unbolt-
ing the door. About 500 cigars, sew
eral pairs of shoes, candy, canned
fruit and various other articles were
stolen. The total amount cannot be
estimated, as many things were UNI
doubtedly taken that have not been
missed. The thieves lighted u hand
lamp and put a paper around it, so
that the light could not be seen.
Show cases were upset, crackers and
other articles strewn about the floor,
so that 1t is probable they were in the
store for quite awhile. This is the
first burglary that has been COM
mitted in town for long time. T. ).
says that he will continue business at
the old stand, as heretofore.
Wheaton Gazette: At the request
of several parties G.. H. Colyer re-
Gently wrote to Hon. Knute Nelson
asking him if he was in o position to
take cases for the settlers on indem-
nifty lands. A reply was received
this week in which Mr.. Nelson states
that he will take the cases if desired,
but that he can offer the settlers no
encouragement. In case he is en-
ployed it will he necessary for him to
investigate the matter thoroughly,
procure all the facts pertaining to the
withdrawal, the adjustment of the
grant, and the later action of the de-
partment in awarding the land to the
r. r. Co. This preliminary work he
says cannot be done for less than 800
and if the settlers desire to expend
this amount he will give the matter
immediate attention. He thinks it is
now too late to accomplish anything,
however, except, perhaps in few
isolated cases.
Messrs Wells Bros. & Hanson
would especially invite the attention
of the ladies to q complete line Of
novelties in dress fabrics. The new
combination goods are very attractive
and include the new shades and
latest designs. !
