$4,000 For a Story.

One Dollar for Every Six words.
Most anybody can write a story
and lots of people try nowadays,
but it takes Conan Doyle who can
create such a character as "Sher-
lock Holmes" to get paid for it at
that rate. That is what Conan
Doyle is paid for the new story,
..SIR NIGEL"
Which will commence December 3
and run weekly in the handsome
New Sunday Magazine given each
Sunday with The Minneapolis Jour
nal. The critics say this is the
greatest story Conan Doyle ever
wrote and he is said to regard it
himself as his greatest work.

BROWNS
STOREROBBED

Last Sunday night, safe blowers
entered the store building, occu-
pied by J. /. Brown, "The Come
Again Store"and gained entrance to
the safe, securing S64O in money,
the result of the holiday sales.
The robbery occurred between
the hour Of 8 and IL o'clock p. M,
during which time the streets were
nearly deserted, nearly everybody
being in attendance at the Congre--
gational church where the Christ
mas exercises were being held. The
building was entered through the
cellar way, the outside door not be-
ing fastened, and the hasp on the
inner door was unscrewed and it
was an easy matter to get into the
basement as the door from thereinto
the store wasopened, and the burg
lars soon had possession Of the
same. A number live overhead,
including Mr.. Brown, the proprie-
tor, but this evening the building
was deserted, and those who rob-
bed the safe must have been aware
Of this fact and also that Nj. Brown
did not deposit the money in the
bank. Several passing by on the
street on their way to church no.
iced a man hanging around the
front entrance but no attention was
paid to him. A light was e e in
the building by a restaurant man,
but he thought it was MI. Brown
who often worked at his desk after
closing up He pounded on the
door and receiving no answer went
away, returning again shortly after
wards the light had disappeared.
The safe, which was a small one,
was located at the real end Of the
storene a back window. To pre-
vent the light,a small hand lamp be-
ing used, a number of coats, which
were O. counter close by, YER
placed in the window, a -four bar
rel was made to serve as a screen
for the front end. A hole was
drilled in the safe: in front of the
combination and it was an easy
matter to pick the lock, a wire be-
ing used for this purpose. The
cash drawers were taken down Gel
lar and the money separated from
the checks and other papers, moth
ing but the money being taken. 1t
is thought that three hen are inn
plicated in the deal and from
appearances was the work of ex-
perts. No clue was left behind for
the authorities to work on. No
suspicious characters were seen
around town, but the ones who did
the deed must have been we'll ac-
quainted with the location of the
store and the fact that the sales
were unusually large the day pre-:
vious and no deposits were made.
The loss of $4,000 at this time
will fall very heavily upon Mr..
Brown, he but recently started up
in business here. This is the first
robbery of this kind that has ever
occurred in Washburn and the peo-
pie had become rather careless in
keeping large sums Of money on
hand. Suspicious characters will,
from now on, be given a chance to
shake the dust of Washburn from
off their feet.

MANY FARMERS
HUG FIRESIDES
InCIement Weather Keeps
Regular Market Men
at Home
SHOPPERS WERE NUMEROUS

Many OF the farmers who use the King
and Madison street markets for the dlspo-
sition of their wares were conspicuous by
their absence this morning. Nor was it TO
be wondered at. for the mercury was
seeking to find an opening IN the bottom
of the thermometer, as II to secure a
refuge from the cold. The wind, too, adj
ded 90 the causes which deferred many
OF the farmers from the severe ordeal Of
standing out in the open ON the icy pave
ments and as consequence, there are
many country hresldos whose owners arc
keeping them company.
Stll there were those m the market
whom nothing short of an earthquake
could keep from their usual plase along
tho curb Eurly n the morning when the
thermometer was registering near the
zero mark. and the wind was bowling and
whlstllng along at the rate of Co miles
an hour. the market place rcsembled some
whnt a gypsy camp.
Old pieces OF carpet were strewn upon
the cold, damp pavcments under the feet
of the farmcrs. and many an old and dis
cardcd blanket did service as "a shield to
protect their faces and bodies from the
biting blasts OF Old Borcas.
