BARRlCADED in FARMHOUSE
Alleged Hishwaymen Holding Of
Posse of Officers.

TOSSC VI Nut~V1os
Pittsburg, June S.-A tragical sequel
to number of holdups and robberies
In the vicinity occurred at Elizabeth,
near here, when County Detective
John Englart shot and killed one of
the four men barricaded in the farm
house of John Patterson, a woodchop-
per, near Elizabeth. Detective EAg-
lart was himself shot through the
wrist and side and is in critical
condition. Patterson is under arrest,
but the three companions of the dead
man, armed with rifles and revolvers,
are holding in check large posse of
officers and citizens from Elizabeth.
The name of the man killed is said
to be John Trevers.
All the men are alleged to be impli-
Gated in the holdup and robbery of
the Monongahela Consolidated Coal
and Coke companys general Office last
Thursday morning. The robbery was
committed by two men, who were
masked and on horseback, and who,
after robbing the, store, galloped
through the mining town of Boston
firing revolvers right and left.
1t Is also intimated that the men are
implicated in the holdup and robbery
OF Pittsburg Railway company street
car at Boston several weeks ago, when
two masked men at the point of revolt
vers robbed eleven passengers and the
crew and escaped.

and grossness. Mr.. Clements Ho-
henstauffen suggests intimate asso-
citation with cultured Germans, an
intimacy Mr.. Clement enjoyed when
a student at Heidelberg for the
Baron in the play is of noble birth
and is gentle as an old gardener.
After Colonel R. G. Ingersoll
saw Mr.. Clement for the first time
in this part, he wrote the actor
letter in which he said: The
Hohenstauffen of your creation has
the culture of the university, the
high breeding of the court, the cour-
age of the army and the courtesy
and tenderness of the perfect gentle
man" Those words describe
beyond the ability of writer's of
lesser attainments an estimate of
Clay Clements creation and of his
exemplifcation of that character as
strong as it is deserved.
Goodwin has his Maxine;
Clement his Kathleen. Miss Ker1i-
gan, as the Southern girl, who so
completely captivates the German
philosopher, that the poor man
almost loses his mind in the franctic
efforts to make her understand his
broken sentences and comprehend
his love, is one of the striking beau
ties of the American stage, and also
possesses true dramatic talent. In
her love scenes she is irresistibly
winning and when she tells her
father her heart belongs to the
absent Baron she fairly scintillates
with dramatic fire."

CLAY CT EMENT WILL PLAY
NEW DOMINION" HERE

The next attraction at the City
Opera House will be Clay Clement,
in the New DOMINION" which
comes to this city next Monday
evening.
Bemidji is indeed fortunate in
securing so eminent an actor in so
sterling a play; and the Pioneer can
strongly recommend this actor and
his great play as being the very best
attraction that has come to this
city.
Relative to the New Dominion, "
the Morning Oregonian, of Portland,
Ore, says:
Not to have seen Clay Clement
in one of his most finished creations,
Baron Hohenstauffen," is not to
have seen one of the great actors of
the day in one of the most charming
plays of this or any other day. In
The New Dominion" of which
the eminent actor is author, and in
which he opened a weeks engage
ment at the Marquam yesterday,
there is presented a study in char
acters that are lovabIe and altogether
human. The charm of the play lies
in its ever-present simplicity, in that
not one strained effort for mere effect
mars the beautiful unfolding of the
story. The comedy is of that high
order one finds in the classics.
There is an absence of coarseness

Suction,

People often speak Of chimneys

harm in these expressions, except that
they are liable to lead us away from

there is no such thing as suction. Sue

the greater pressure Of air or fluid In

Burke of Valley.City-presided at the
recount of the votes in the Burnt
Greek precinct today in the contest
of Miss Hanson against G. L. Wig
ness, present incum bent, for nomin-
alton for county superintendent Of
schools, she claiming that three wo-
mems votes cast for her in that pre-
cinct we're not counted in the re-
turns, and that if they were she
would have majority of two, where
as t.,e official canvass gave Vigness
the Office by one vote. It was found
that the returns were as she claimed,
but inasmuch as the inspector OF
election failed to sign the ballots,
the court declared the vote in that
precinct illegal and gave the nomin-
a ion to Vigness by one vote, both
having had an equal number of votes
among the men Of the precinct.

vAGARlES Of PRIMARY
Three Counties Of North Dakota
Get Nine Out OF Thirteen
State Offices.

Bismarck, N. D., July 1.-THE
Official count of the vote cast at the
recent primary election will not be
made until September. The official
returns are coming in, but are sealed
and will..not be opened until the state
canvassing board meets to declare
the result. In none OF the contests,
however, ARE the results so close that
the official count will be required to
determine.
The railroad commissionerships
have been the only Offices at all in
doubt, and it seems esta blished that
o. P. N. Anderson Of Ramsey county
and w. Fl. Stutsman and VIII. Mann
OF Morton county are the nominees.
This will give the state commits
sion composed of two insurgents and
one stalwart, with two members Of
the com missioners from the same
county. The total vote cast for rail-
road commissioners was less than
half of the vote cas-. for United
States senator--more than half the
votes of the state did not even ex-
press a choice of commissioners of
railroads. The nominations were al
most entirely accidental.
The vagaries of the primary elec-
.tion are also proven by the fact that
three OF the principal Offices in the
state have gone to Ward county, and
three others to Cass county. Ward
county has The candidates for gov
ernor, secretary of state and state
treasurer. Cass county got three
nominees for one of the congressional
places, judge Of the supreme court
and lieutenant governor. Nor ton
county gets three places in commits
sioner Of agriculture ard two railroad
comm issioners Thus Jhree Of the
counties in the state get nine of
the thirteen Offices to be filed.
A matter of interest to come before
the voters this fall is that of the in
crease Of the supreme court Of the
state from three to five judges. This
is debatable legislation, according
to some of the we'll posted attorneys
in the state, who fear that five jud-
ges will merely add to the political
taDgles in the state.
The clerical force in the Office of
the state auditor is preparing for the
meeting of the state board of equal
ization, which will be held early In
August. There lis especial interest
attaching to the meeting, as the
question of railroad and corporation
taxation is an issue in the state cam
paign.
