DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 11.-Recent re-

have determined representative local
sportsmen to go before the state game

ried on by Deputy Phillips, of Duluth.
The. fact that the legislature, at it's last

CONROY TAKES TRAIL
AND ROUNDS Up GANG
Chief Shows Force That There
Is "Something DOING" and
More to. Follow.

The superintendent of the Minneap-
oils police force has to go out and
make his own arrests if he wants to
see the reputation of his force taken
care of.
Supt. Conroy has had practically his
whole force on the trail of the Brown
gang, which is alleged to have been
operating on the East side. The sang
is credited with the safe blowing job
at the Nelson & Eklund store on Cen
trail avenue. There has been an eX-
traordinary difficulty in securing ar
rests in connection with this crime.
The superintendent of police had
ideas of his own in connection with the
crime. Immediately after the safe
blowing episode Conroy ordered the
arrest of the chief of the Brown gang
in East Minneapolis, together with any
persons who might be found in his
company. Strangely enough the Off
GERS detailed on the work could find no
trace of either Brown or his men. They
were, as the officers reported, well un-
der cover" and no trace could be found
of them.
Another attempt was made to blow
out safe on Monday night at the
store of Nawes & Seibert, 306 Central
avenue. The order to use every means
for the arrest of the criminals was re-
neWed, but there were no results
Yesterday morning at l a. m. Supt.
Conroy was on his way passing Eighth
street and Fifteenth avenue southeast,
when he spotted Brown with two COM
panions standing near the car line.
Conroy disembarked and in a short
time had the men where he wanted
them.

said the chief, you may as well con-
slider yourselves under arrest"

declared Brown, who proceeded to eX-
ecute a pas de seul in the street Fig,

Mysterious Disappearance of Stella
Beconsky Is Cleared Up.
Joseph Beconsky, who came from
Chicago to search for his sister, has
had rather curious experience. Be-
consky stated to the police when his
search here began that the girl miss
ing, his sister Stella, was lost while
going through Minneapolis from the
West, and that his mother, who lives in
Chicago, had asked him to come here
in search of her.
The circumstances f the case were
that Stella Beconsky, a pretty bru-
nette, aged thirteen, was lost sight Of
by her mother while passing through
Minneapolis. The girl is said to have
wandered away from the union depot
and to have been left behind because
her people believed she had already
boarded the train. After the train pull
ed out and the girl was missed. Mrs.
Beconsky telegraphed to the Minne-
apolis police department that the girl
was lost, but no trace of her could be
found by the Minneapolis department,
and the Stella BeconSlky case promised
to take it's place among those police
mysteries that are so numerous and so
ineXplicable.
Yesterday Joseph Beconsky discov-
cred through the police n1atron, Mrs.
Schafer. that his sister had been COM

A gigantic candle over six feet high,

men in the basement of a saloon at
122 Hennepin avenue.
Where the candle came from and
how it got into such an out-of-the-wa
place as a dark corner of a saloon
basement is a mystery. Evidently it
had lain beneath a pile of rubbish for
years, but nevertheless it was in ex-
cellent condition.
It's discovery was productive of many
conjectures, some contending that it
belonged to some church, while 9TH
ers maintained that it was an eXag-
gerated sample, such as manufacturers
might make for advertising purposes.
The candle measured six feet four
inches in length and was over six
inches in diameter at the base. Be
side it an ordinary candle is hardly
visible. A half-inch rope runs through
the talloW for a wick, which, when
lighted, produced a flame that would
do credit to a model cooking stove.
The finding of the candle caused a
sensation and the men working in the
basement of the saloon imagined they
saw a Spook. The men were under the
sidewalk pulling out rubbish, when
one of them saw a long, white cylinder.
He touched it and the greasy sensa-
ton charged his mind with dynamite
horrors.
There was a stampede to the upper
floor, where their Mysterious discovery
was told the proprietor in a vague,
uncertain fashion. The proprietor
armed himself with large cheese knife
and at the head of a delegation de-
scended the stairs.
He prodded the candle with the
knife, and as no explosion followed
and it manifested no signs of life, three
men carried it UP stairs, where it was
lighted, to the amusement of a large
gathering.
The candle was not the only find.
Several mould-covered busts Of men in
previous generations were uncovered,
among them one of Abraham Lincoln,
representing him as a young man.
The building in which the find was
made is one of the Oldest in the city,
and the basement under the sidewalk
has not been entered for many years.
The original proprietors of the struc-
ture have long since passed away, and
the mystery surrounding the candle
will probably never be cleared.
