Possibly the greatest musical treat
the people of Devils Lake will have
an opportunity of enjoying for many
a day will be the Musical Hoyles, who
come direct to this city from eastern
trinmphs. The Hoyles consist of five
first class musical artists and Miss
Frances Putnam Pogle, the famous
lady inipersonator. This company
has been secured on a guarantee for
one night only, and will appear in
the armo1y on Monday evening, March
9th, under the auspices of Co. D. Re-
served seats, SO cents; general admis
sion, IS cents. The Hoyles' orchestra
is acknowledged to be the finest or
%ganization furnishing dance music in
the country today. The management
of the opera house takes great pleas
ure in announcing that be has made
arrangements with the company to
play for a dance after the show, to
which a fee of so cents a couple will
be charged. There will be no waits
between dances, as the time will be
occupied by Miss Pogle in amusing
imbersonations, which will not only
be a novelty but highly enjoyable.

GRAND JURY WILL PROBE.
Evidence Said to be Accommodating
Which Will Solve the Garske Killing.

Cando Dem crat: 1t has been cur
rent rumor lately that the sudden
death of a young man named Miller
which occurred at Garske, in Ramsey
county. last fall, is to be thoroughly
investigated by the next grand jury
which meets at Devils Lake next
week, Notwithstanding the fact that
the coroner's jury which examined
into the matter at the time failed to
find evidence connecting anyone with
the affair. Since then the authorities
claim to have unearthed some facts
which put a different phase upon the
situation, and which they desire to
ferret out if possible.
Sheriff Rutten arrived in this city
Tuesday afternoon in quest of a mar
who visited at Garske at the time OF
the unfortunate occurrence, and who
is believed to be an important witness
for the purpose of serving a subpoe'
M on him to appear before the grand
jury when wanted. The person in
question, wanted by the Ramsey. cuun'
ty sheriff, was absent from the city al
the time of the latter's visit, and he
returned without accomplishing his
object. He stated, however, to a rep.
resentative of this paper before leav'
ing, that nothing would be left un.
done to c u the man wanted, and
to see that the matter will receive
proper attention in Ramsey county.
