It is conceded by all that he establish

John arrived in the city about 8
o'clock from Davenport where he has
been working. He purchased two
quarts of whisky, became terribly in
toxicated, received black eye which
will stay with him for several weeks

John wasn't sure about the time he

GOLD THIEVES HIT FARGO
and one DENTIST SUFFERS
Office Of Dr.. Albert HaIenbg Looted Of Gold Crowns Sa-
day Night--Believed to Be Work Of an
Organized Gang

Gaining entrance by operations Of
experts, gold thieves looted the office
of DR.. Albert Hallenberg. Morris block,
sos Front street, some time Satur-
day night. Six gold crowns, valued
at $50, was the loot carried off by
the burglars
The conclusion has been reached
that the robbery was pulled Off by the
gang which has been operating in
Minneapolis for several months, as
well as points 70 the west of Montana
1t is the belief of DR.. Hallenberg that
the Office was entered between 9o'clock
Saturday evening and o'clock Sun
day morning. There are three doors
leading into the apartments occupied
by Drs. Hallenberg and Skelsey and
for some time how entrance was gain
ed was a mystery. An examination
showed that blunt chisel was used
on the castings of two doors. How
ever, this was given up and the third
door worked on. This was locked
from the inside by an ordinary key
BY using a clever device the key was

door.
1t happened that sufficient gold
work was left in the laboratory by
the doctor, to keep the thieves away
from the safe. While the doctor
terms it a careless habit. 1t is be-
lieved that 1t saved him no small
amount. The safe was not tempered
with at ALL In this he kept all his
valuable supplies. which were intact
yesterday morning when the robbery
was discovered.
There is not the least doubt but
that the burglars belong to a well or
ganized gang which operates in con-
nection with some goldsmith. The
material which was stolen in this case,
as well as many former ones in the
northwest. would be worthless to the
ordinary robber. 1t has to be entirely
worked over and there must be some
means of getting it back OF the market
without arousing suspicion. There
was absolutely no clue left by the
guilty parties.
