NIGHT; LOSS IS $4,000

ings Destroyed Before the Flames
Are Extinguished.

Brainerd, Jan. 23.-(Special to
the Pioneer. Fire last night
destroyed six business buildings
and their contents, in the busi-
ness center of Brainerd, and
caused a total loss exceeding
s15, 900.
The fire was discovered at an
early hour in the evening and
burned steadily until after mid
night, before the fire department
was able to get the flames under
control.
The fire started in the under.
taking esta blishment OF Losey &
Dean, on Front street, and
destroyed that building and five
others including the N. P. bank
block.
No one was injured at the fire,
although great excitement pre-
vailed while the flames were
raging.

of getting the case on at the

MOORE-CHERRY-A ANDERSON
COMBINE DID CROOKSTON
"Shorn Lambs in the "Queen City, Awakening to the
Fact That the Stock Proposition Was Far from
Being as Represented.

Crookston Times: There are a
number of Crookston business
men who purchased stock in a
Real Estate investment company
a short time since who are now
asking themselves if they have
been swindled.
Three men whose names we're
J. S. Moore, H. W. Cherry and
Franklyn Anderson came to the
city recently and offered some
presumably gilt-edged stock for
sale. They stated that they had
recently been with the American
Real Estate company of New
York, which really is one of the
most substantial investment
companies in the country and
claimed that they were going
to start the same kind of a con.
Germ in this state. They had a
great deal of the literature, let
ter heads and advertising circu-
lars of the New York concern
which they showed to prospect
i've buyers of stock and stated
that their plan of business would
be on the same order as that of
the Big New York concern. The
plan seemed very plausible and
the men were smooth takers
and they soon had sold twenty
shares of the stock in their new
concern to twenty Crookston
business men at 500 per share.
Some of these men promised to
pay for their stock on the install
m2nt plan but the majority of
them gave note for the amount
and the note was no sooner given
than it was taken to the nearest
bank and discounted. Shortly
af er the men left the city all of
the banks here were notified by
th3 New York Real Estate com
pany to be on the lookout for
tht Sc three men, stating that
one Of them had been in their
eu1ploy and that he had been dis
charged and that they under
stood that he was operating as a
representative of theirs in North
era Minnesota. Other reports
of alleged irregularity on the
part Of the men came in and it
now appears that one of them is

PAULINE SATHER FOUND:
is IN CRITICAL CONDITION
Girl Who Was to Have Married John Sather Of Bemdii
Victim Of Criminal Operation at Minneapolis
Tried to Take Carbolic Acid.

Minneapolis. Jan. %. Especial
to Pioneer. Pauline Sather dis
appeared from her home in Min
neapolis day before she was to
have been married and was
missing several weeks. She has
been found through information
of a medical student and tried to
kill herself by taking carbolic
acid when officers reached her
hiding place. She has been the
victim of a criminal operation
and is in a serious condition.
The girls disappearance
created a sensation as she was
about to be married to John
Sather of Bemidji, MINI: whose
family name is the same as hers
but who is no relation.
The mystery deepened as the
police searched vainly for the
girl and it was even rumored
that she might have been mur-
dered.
Sather came to Minneapolis
expecting to marry Miss Sather
only to learn she had vanished
the day before that set for the
wedding, so returned disconso-
late to Bemidji.
Subsequently Rev. N. A.
Sather, the girls uncle with
whom she lived, received two
notes from her saying she. was
all right and would in a short
time apprise him of her where
abouts.
!. But no news of her hiding
place came. s..s...s:..
Friday the Daily News pub

son, a former University of Min.

WOLVES ARE EXCEEDINGLY
BOLD NEAR TENSTRlKE.
One Large E'varmint" Plays Tag to the
Discontinue and Terror of
H.. J. Botting.

Tenstrike, Jan. 23. Especial to
Pioneer. THE wolves are get.
ting real tame and hungry in
this vicinity, as the following
story will prove:
Yesterday, as n. j. Botting
was driving from Camp 2 to
Camp I, with a hog in his sled,
he had a very novel experience.
He had gone about three miles,
and looking back to see that
everything was all right, was
very much surprised to see q
large timber wolf enjoying a
meal of fresh pork.
After driving tile wolf from
the sled he proceeded on his
journey. The wolf was not
easily discouraged, and followed
for about a mile, and made many
attempts to get into the sled
again.
The wolves are thick here and
are killing great many deer.
1t would probably be of interest
to sportsmen and hunters to find
some way in which to kill them
of, in order to protect the deer
and other game.

Rejected Bid for Wood.

A meeting Of the Board of
Education of the city of Bemidii
was held last evening.
Among the business taken up
was the matter of considering
bids for the furnishing of 200
cords of wood for the local
schools. There was but one bid
lbmitted and the bidder agreed
t. furnish 200 cords of green. cut
jackpine at So rs per cord. The
board rejected the bid and de.
cided to re-advertise for bids for
the same amount of wood, the
bids to be opened at a meeting OF

nesota medical student was
mentioned as that of a young
man who sometimes called on
Miss Saiher.
Knutson saw this in print and
Saturday telephoned to Miss
sather's uncle, making an ap-
pointment with him, explaining
that he had some news of Miss
Sather.
Rev. Sather notified the police
and two detectives accompanied
him to the rendezvous appointed
by Knutson.
When the young man appeared
be was taken into custody.
Knutson told the police that
Miss Sather could be found at
1806t 4sh ave. S.
The detectives went to this
address and found the young
woman alone in a room. When
they asked herif she was Pauline
Sather the girl seized a bottle of
car bolic acid and sought to drink
the contents, The police pre-
vented her doing so and re-
strained her while plying their
question.
Miss Sather said she had sub
mitted eight days ago to a crimi-
nal operation but refused to say
at whose hands.
Knutson denied that he had
anything to do with the operation
declaringsa physician performed
it,sbut would not tell the police
who the physician was:
Miss sather's condition was
foand TO be extremely critical
and she was removed to the
Minneapolis city hospital.

The VILLAGE OF WALKER
IN SERIOUS PREDICAMENT
No Electric Lights or Kerosene Oil, land
All the Candles Have Been
Exhausted.

Walker, Mimi, Jan 23..-
Especial to the Pioneer. Walker
has exhausted its coal supply
and faces apeculiar predicament.
The electric light plant was
Obliged to shut down Saturday
night owing to lack Of coal. AS
a greater part of the residences
in the village use electric light, q
run was made on the kerosene
supply, and by 9 o'clock Satur-
day every drop of oil in town had
been bought as the merchants
were caught unawares. AS the
demand far exceeded the supply,
those who were unfortunate in
getting their portion of oil
bought candles.
Sunday evening there was not
q candle for sale in Walker, as
the stores had completely ex.
hausted their supply. At this
writing kerosene is a luxury in
the village, while candles are con-
sidered a necessity. Many
homes have neither, and unless
oil is received today, many of the
homes will be in darkness to-
night, while the stores will be
obliged to close their doors.
Freight of every description
is moving slowly in Northern
Minnesota, and the merchants
find it about as difficult to secure
shipments of oil as they do coal.
Orders have been in for over two
weeks.
