There has been considerable specu.

Burglars entered the office of D. A.
Dinnie at Minot and robbed the safe
Of $500 in currency.
The combination on the safe was
turned, steel door was unlocked and
the cash box was opened. The safe
was mutilated in no manner. Every
thing was left in perfect condition.
The burglars must have entered
through the front door of the office
and must have had key to it, for
this morning it was locked as usual,
The only other entrance to the front
office is through door leading to the
work rooms in the rear and this was
securely bolted from the inside. This
indicates that the burglar entered the
front door, rifled the safe and de.
parted through the front door, locking
t as he went out.
The burglar must have been an
adept at safe combinations and must
have had a good supply of skeleton
keys in order to get into the safe. The
safe is a large Diebold with an inner
door of steel and steel cash boxes. Mr..
Dinnie himself locked the cash boxes
as well as the inner steel door, and
also turned the combination.
When Mr.. Mclaughlin, the foreman.
returned to the Office, all the doors in
the safe were opened and the cash
drawer was unlocked. The money
which had been placed in the safe
with which to pay the men in Mr.. Din.
aie's employ, was gone.

SENSATIONAL SUIT BEGUN.

Nancy Of Granville, Claims Mrs.
swayns 10 Trying to kidnap HE
Son.
A $1,000 damage suit against Mrs.
Swayne Of Waterloo, Iowa, for at,
tempting to recover Roy Nancy or
Roy Mason Of Granville, who, Mrs.,
Swayne says, was kidnapped from Iowa
eight years ago, has been instituted as
chapter in the sensational kidnapping
case.
Mrs. Swayne is the mother of Mrs:
Kirkelie of Minot, at whose home Roy
Mason, who worked as q messenger
boy for the Western Union, told the
story Of his kidnapping by cattlemen
eight years ago. When the boy told
his story, Mrs. Swayne remembered
the incident back in Iowa. She was
neighbor of the Masons, who had
lost their small son and daughter, and
she Immediately communicated with
them. Roy Mason's mother is in the.
Insane asylum as a result of the kid;
naptng. His father is in Nebraska3
Some of his brothers and sisters live
in Waterloo. and they have sent a
ticket to Minot for the boy to return
home.
Mr.. Nancy of Granville, says that
the boy in question is his son, being
the offspring of his first wife. He de.
MES the story of the kidnapping in
toto, and has brought suit against
Mrs. Swayne for endeavoring to take
Ills son away from him.
The peculiar thing about the case is
that the boy first told the story of his
kidnapping. While he was messenger
hoy for the Western Union he got &C.
quainted with the son of Mrs. Swayne,
who with his mother were visiting the
kirkelie home. and told how he and
his sister were kidnapped from Iowa
eight years ago. Mrs. Swayne began
to inquire further into the matter and
satisfied herself that Roy Nancy was
the Roy Mason who was kidnaped
from Waterloo, Iowa.

PIONEER PRESS N new HANDS
HILL INFLUENCE 10 ELIMINATED
I, -REruRNs TO POLICY OF
. ", = ITS FOUNDER. 500

The st. Paul Pioneer Press, the old
est, and for many years the most In
fluential newspaper in the Northwest.
recently passed under the control of a
syndicate headed by Tams Bixby and
Webster Wheelock, the latter a son OF
the late Joseph "A. Wheelock, the
founder of the paper. The Duluth
News-Tribune comments editortally
upon the change as follows:
BACK TO THE PEOPLE.
The Pioneer Press Of Wednesday
made brief but significant announce.
ment. 1t has been known for some
weeks that all the stock Of the corpor-
alton held by proxy for Mr.. James j.
Hill had been purchased by other in
terests, and that Mr.. Hill was volun-
tarily down and out so far as the Pho
neer Press was concerned.
Mr.. Hill has not found newspaper
ownership profitable as side line to
railroading and has wisely renounced
it. The announcement of the Pioneer
Press is the official notice by its pres
ent owners of the changed relations Of
that paper to the public. OF the d.
rectors, John H. Barker and Jared How,
familiar names to many, were not re-
elected, and it is stated that all the
stock held by Mr.. Barker and others,
for Mr.. Hill, has been taken by a
syndicate composed of Tams Bixby,
Webster Wheelock and sixteen other
residents of St. Paul, two residents of
Minneapolis and two of Red Wing.
Fred G. Ingersoll of st. Paul now be-
comes president of the company, and
Tams Bixby vice president and gen.
eral manager, the other directors be-
ing E. N. Saunders, Homer P. Clark
and Webster Wheelock, of st. Paul;
L. S. Gillett of Minneapolis, and John
H. Rich of Red Wing, whose personal
ity and business connections are we'll
known throughout the state.
This change in the ownership of the
Pioneer Press is matter of more
than passing interest and Importance
to the people of Minnesota. 1t is its
Oldest daily newspaper in the state,
and nothing has ever been able to
break it's hold upon the older residents
and the more conservative business
element. 1t has always had their con
fidence and support and has deserved
it.
But the fact of Mr.. Hills large inter
est in the property which was known
to many and suspected by more, ere
ated prejudice against it in the
minds of the masses.
To hold the confidence of the people
newspaper in the West must be indie
pendent not only in its opinions but in
all connections and be wholly of the
people and for the people. The Pioneer
Press will be greatly strengthened by
this change and will regain the power
which was won for it by it's able and
fearless founder, Joseph Wheelock.

gen. YOUNGS CASE IS ARGUED
SUPREME COURT HEARS ARav.
MENrs RELATIVE TO CON.
TEMPT CHARGE. i;

Washington, Dec. 4.-The case Of
Attorney General Edward T. Young Of
Minnesota, Involving a fine of, $1,000
on the charge Of contempt of court,
was argued in the supreme court Of
the United States yesterday. The
case deals with the rights of states to
prescribe railroad rates, and the i'm.
portance of the matter was indicated
by the effort to intervene which was
made in benalf Of the corporations do
ing business in other parts Of the
country, which involve the same ques.
tions. The case against Mr.. Young
grew out of an effort by the Northern
Pacific Railway company to prevent
Young as attorney general from en-.
forcing the state law of 1907. The
United States court for the district
Of Minnesota. Judge Lochren presid-
ing, granted a temporary injunction.
in accordance with the prayer Of the
railroad company, but notwithstand-
ing this order Mr.. Young instituted
proceedings in the state district court
for Ramsey county, asking for writ
of mandamus compelling the railroad
company to comply with the law. He
was promptly summoned before Judge
Lochren, who imposed fine for con.
tempt.
The attorney general sought relief
by applying in an original action to
the supreme court for writ Of ha-
beas corpus, on the ground that the
Minnesota federal court was without
Jurisdiction.
The case involves the constitutional
question whether an action like this
is not a suit against state, which is
prohibited by the eleventh amend
ment to the constitution.
The Young case was argued by At
torney Thomas d. O'Brien of Mime
sofa and Attorney General Hadley Of
Missouri for Mr.. Young and Chief
Counsel G. M. Bum of the Northern
Pacific against that official.

dealt with according to law. In re.
quiring an observance of these meas.
ures 1t does not necessarily follow
that oleomargerine and other substi-
tutes are considered unwholesome,

Of substitutes for butter as customers
