Chas. Poirer, employed as a

noon by being struck on the head
by a broken hoist beam.
Poirer-with other men was

THEY ARE LIABLE
FOR CONTEMPT
Burglars Try Beltrami Court
House With Poor
Success.
GAVE JOB UP FOR A BAD ONE
AFTER DAMAGING LOCK.
Bold Attempt Made TO Break Into.
Court House Thursday
Night.

Sneak thieves made a bold at
tempt to gain access to the Bel
trami county court house Thurs
day night. The lock at the back
door of the first floor corridor
was attempted, and the indica-
tons are that the thieves were
frightened away before they had
an opportunity to complete the
job.
The attempted burglary was
not discovered until yesterday,
when it was found that the door
had been skilfully chiseled and
the lock badly broken by punch
The work was very skillfully
done and looks very much Like a
professional effort. The audacity
of the attempt at first led to the
belief that the damaged lock
might be accounted for in some
other way, but a more careful
investigation quietly conducted
yesterday only Strengthens the
theory that the building had been
attempted by burglars.
The district court had been in
session since Monday, the grand
jury adjourned Thursday after
noon and that any attempt to
break into the building should be
made seems incredible.
The janitor with his family has
living rooms in the basement and
heard no disturbance, but the
shattered lock is still to be &C
counted for.
The only motive for the at
tempt would be to- gain access to
the vault in the treasurer's office,
where the burglars might have
hoped to secure some of the
county cash.
There is no clue to the thieves
but while they were not success
full in gaining admittance to the
building they are liable for com
tempt of court in attempting
SO bold an undertaking while the
court was in session.
