ed the club and made an investigation. BE-
fore going out to play golf Mr. Smailwood
left his vest and other articles of clJthins
in his locker During his absence, the de-
tective was informed. the locker was open
ed and used by two visitors.
When Mr.. Smallwood returned TO the
room in which the lockers are built. The
door of his locker was open. Looking into
the locker. he saw that his clothes were
still there. and he also found that his watch
ami chain had not been disturbed. Feeling
satisfied that nothing had been taken he
got ready to return home, and was out
of the building when he made the discovery
that his handsome solitaire had disappeared
from the pocket of his vest. He returned

Detective Warren out to the home of the

of how Mr.. Smallwood's locker had been
used by other parties. but could form no
idea as to the identity of the person who
actually took the diamond. He was told
that 1t had been necessary to force open
the locker in order to accommodate one of
the other men who used the locker. The
door was afterward left open and the TAX

CONFESSION AS EVIDENCE.
Murder Trial Of Richard ivens Begins
at Chicago.

Chicago, March 9.-The trial OF
Richard Ivens for the murder Of Mrs.
Bessie Hollister was commenced dur
ing the day. At the opening OF court
a delay was occasioned by objections
filed against one of the jurors by AS
sistant States Attorney Olson. After
a consultation with Judge Smith and
Attorney Folz, who represents Iyens,
the juror was excused, it being thought
that his feeble health would not be
able to stand the strain of an extend.
ed trial Another juror was secured
and Assistant States Attorney Olson
made his opening address to the jury.
1t is generally understood that the
case of the state depends largely upon
the repeated confessions made By
Ivens to the police and states attor-
ney's office and as soon as the case
was fairly under way Mr.. F'olz object
ed to the introduction of any confes-
sion purporting to have been made by
Ivens. He was promptly overruled by
the court.

Anent The Early Conven.
ton.

The PIONEER from time to
time has ADVOCATED the early state
convention. Those opposed to
this idea give the reason that3an
early convention will give the
democrats a chance to frame
their ticket to the mos t advantage
and take up the weak points Of
the Republican ticket. The re-
publicans should not put up a
weak ticket. Anyway the pre-
convention fight shows a weak
ness, mas much as a long and
bitter preconvention fight shows
a soreness which cannot be
healed. The Pioneer believes in
a convention convened early and
the best men nominated, then
elect them. There is no fear of
the democrats finding a weak
spot in the Republican ticket if
the nominations are made in the
right spirit. Let the twin cities
work with the country districts
and then Minnesota can again be
classed with the banner Republi-
can states. Il
