ROBBED The BENA STORE
OF ERNEST FLEMM|NG
Burglars Secured Good HauI.-WouId
Have Got More Had They Waited
Until Today.

Crookston Journal Ernest Flem-
ming's big store at Bena was burglar
lied Sunday morning, the postofice
also being located in the same build
ing. From the postofice there was
stolen $3.50 in stamps and about
$3.50 in silver, and from Mr..
Trimmings private safe, about $3.50
in cash.
The thieves then stole a Great
Northern hand car and made off
either east or west, no trace having
been found of the handcar as yet.
One suspect was arrested at Cass
Lake yesterday but there is little
evidence against him.
The peculiar part of the deal is
that the burglars made big mis-
take that they did not wait till Tues
day when the Indians are to get a
payment and Mr.. Flemming would
have had at least $4,000 in cash in
his safe which they could have
secured.
The store was entered thru rear
window and the safe dynamited. It
is believed that there were several in
the gang otherwise a handcar could
not have been used.
Ernest Flemming is one of the
best-known loggers in northern
Minnesota. Last winter he engaged
extensively in logging near Black.
duck, and was often in Bemidii, on
his way from Bena to, the Duck"
1t is known that Mr.. Flemming
handles big merchandise business
at Bena, and always has on hand
goodly sum of coin of the realm"
That the burglars did not find more
money is simply matter of luck for
Mr.. Flemming, as he always keeps
considerable on hand.
| Being a man who is well-to-do,"
/ the theft will in no manner hinder
Nh. Flemming in his business deals.

WILL SELL MILLINERY
REGARDLESS OF COST
Mrs. J. }. Conger Is Sacrificing Her
Splendid Stock of Up.to.date -.
Millinery Goods.

Mrs. J. J. Conger, whose millinery
strock is in the postofice block, is
offering for sale all her up-to-date
stock of millinery at prices which is
a money-saving proposition to you,
as all goods will be sold regardless
of cost.

was so drawn and made payable
with which to pay such warrant;
and that there were warrants out
standing and unpaid, drawn and
issued on said general fund of said
city since the adoption of said
charter, amounting in the aggregate
to more than $8,OOO."
AS the answer sets forth facts at
variance with the petition praying
for said writ, which facts were ex-
pressly admitted by the relator, the
court stayed proceedings under the
writ and took the matter under ad-
visement.
That mandamus will lie to compel
the execution of a warrant in a case
like the one at bar, when it appears
that there is money in the part
ocular fund upon which the warrant
is drawn, is too we'll settled to per-
nit of discussion.
The only question here presented
for judicial expression is whether,
under the admitted facts, and in view
of the above quoted section of the
city charter, Mayor Pogue should be
required to sign the warrant.
This case is clearly distinguished
from the class of cases in which
items held that mandamus will not
lie to enforce the payment of a
warrant drawn upon fund in which
there is no money. Here, the act
required is the execution of the
warrant, not the payment of the
money. The relator rendered the
services alleged, earned the salary
provided for in the resolution and
is entitled to the warrant evidencing
the indebtedness to him. In State
VS.. Ames, 81 MINI. 440, the court
said: In addition to the consider
atiors, the right of the relator to the
writ is supported by abundant auth
GRITTY. Whereas, in this case, a de-
mand against a municipal corpora
ton has been duly admitted, allowed
and ordered paid, and the proper
officer refused to perform the purely
ministerial act of drawing, signing
or sealing proper warrant in the
premises, it is common practice to
compel him to do so by mandamus. "
Frequent applications of the
doctrine under discussion occur in
cases of salaries due to public
officers, and, in such cases, when
the amount of the salary is definitely
fixed by law, the drawing of the
warrant upon the treasurer does not
involve the exercise of any official
discretion and may properly be
coerced by mandamus." High ex.
Rem. Sec. los.
The city charter provision urged
in opposition to the writ is not appli.
cable for the reason that the power
to contract indebtedness is not
involved.
Therefore it is ordered that the
stay granted upon the hearing herein
be vacated and set aside and that
said writ of mandamus be in full
force and effect, and the said ]. P.
Pogue, mayor, is commanded to
forthwith comply with all the terms
thereof.

CHAFFEY ORE GOES
into CALIFORNIA
BALAKLAIIA COMPANY SECURES
DRY ORES FROM GOLD
CAMPS OF NEVADA.

CHAFFEY, Sept 1S.-A contract
has been signed by the Balaklala
company, owning an independent
smelter at Corem, Shasta county,
California, under which all the dry
ores of this district will be treated
for three years at that plant, and
also which arrangement gives SO per
ton net more profit to Chafey pro-
ducers than heretofore obtained. The
increased income, caused by this ar
rangement to Edwin S. Chafey, own
er of the Black Hole Bonanza gold
mine here, which has sprung into a
conspicuous prominence within the
last six weeks as one of the largest
producers for it's age ever discovered
in Nevada amounts in the aggregate
to $4,000 per month-the basis of
yield at this time. Two months
hence, when the Black Holes yield
will be approximately $500 tons per
month, the increased profit, through
better marketing conditions, will be
$500 per month.
The product of the F. M. McBee-
Elihu Palmer lease, which is enter
ing the shipping class as the second
largest producer here, will also go to
the Balaklala smelter on similar fav-
orable terms. A two-foot body of
ore carrying 5000 to $500 per ton,
has just been encountered in this
lease, and three double shifts will be
employed in it's extraction, and it is
expected thirty to fifty tons per day
will be hoisted. Taken in conjun-
ction with other leases which are
finding the high grade, the Balaklala
will probably secure there in two
months an aggregate tonnage of 5000
per month.
Thomas Baker, representing the
Orem smelter interests, stated that
they have also signed for almost all
the dry ore yield of Goldfield which
is not treated in local mills on similar
favorable terms to the producers

HAMMOND PREDICTS.
Mining REVIVAL

Il look for a revival in mining de-
velopment on far more conservative
basis than obtained in the time of the
BOOM" said John Hays Hammond
during an interview in New York the
other day.
"A large part of the money that
will go into mining in the future will
be raised by the small investors, who
realize that when mining is conduct
ed on conservative basis by re-
sponsible men it involves few risks
and offers probabilities of large
profits. Undoubtedly large number
of irresponsible mining promoters
will be eliminated from future min
ing enterprises, that is for the time at
| least.
"In my opinion mining activity will
be general throughout all the western
mining states, and 1t will extend to
all metals. Just now, everything is
at standstill waiting the results of
| the election.

vance in the price of copper metal in
the near future, for the reason that
copper today is being sold at price

and therefore the first substantial re
