at 825 Bank Last Night But
EaIlaH 70 40 Inst airs

There was burglar scare at D. ".
McDevitt's, the merchandise brokers'
home, S25 Bank street, this morning
at 2 o'clock A strong wind was
blowing and Mr.. McDevitt's wife was
awakened. While lying awake, Mrs.
McDevitt heard some at the foot OF
the stairs below and called her hus-
band.
Mr. McDevitt arose and going quiet
ly to a closet in the room, secured a
revolver. Then he stole with the
uuietness of cat to the head of the
stairs and lay down with the weapon
peeping over the top step and awaited
the man below. No one appeared,
however, and the noise of some one
stealing around was not repeated.
Mrs McDevitt is positive she heard
some one in the house below but no
trace of the entrant could be found
this morning when search was made.

Speculatively in the pit, there may
be a tendency for the moment to get
out on bulges in both corn and wheat.
The corn report should strengthen the

Men.

Canton, Mo-, has real live outlaws,
bold, bad persons, who refuse to
recognize the majesty of the law and
surrender. Two men, who are said to
be Frank and Bill Reiner, big men,
with several long rifles and revolvers,
are camped on Brownsville Island,
about half mile north of Canton,
and steadfastly hold out against the
sheriff of Lewis county and his brave
and stalwart deputies. Several at
tempts have been made to slip one
over on the outlaws and capture them,
but at each attempt the brigands eth
er shoe the officers away with law
ish display of firearms, or else they
are allowed to land and search the
island with no traces Of Frank or Bill.
Upon returning to Canton from their
unsuccessful searches they are usually
informed that another chicken coop
has been raided or some more succu-
lent garden truck has taken unto
itself wings and flown away
An expedition, consisting OF the
sheriff and as many deputies as can
be persuaded to go will set sail to-
day and a determined effort will be
made to capture the men who are
accused Of theft. A number Of recent
| thefts in and about Canton, it is
/ claimed, show traces of the fine Ital-
| ian hand of the Reiners and the entire
town is considerably stirred up over
the depredations. At that, however,
volunteers are by no means numer-
GUS when 1t is suggested that they be
captured. They have apparently toe
many healthy looking guns and pis
tolls to be easily captured.
According to the crews of the
steamers which have passed the island
and secured a glimpse of the hunted
men, one of them constantly carries
gun and patrols his camp. The!

they say he has a glare In his eyes
which makes their individual back
bones try to crawl up and pull ou

i What will be the outcome of thu
expedition sent against the Browns
Vile Island stronghold this afternoon
i it is impossible to foresee. The Rein
ers may surrender to the officers
and then again they may unlimbe

shots at the limbs Of the law.

GLEE CLUB CONCERT FRIDAY
University Singers will Complete Con.
cert Series at Metropolitan
TheAter Here.

The University Glee club will ap-
pear Friday evening before a Grand
Forks audience for the first time this
year. The recent trip of the glee club
to different parts of the state has won
much we'll deserved commentator for
that organization as we'll as for the
university. Large audiences greeted
the club at Lakota. Devils Lake, Can
do, Leeds, New Rockford, Darlington,
Valley City, Hope and Mayville, and
the newspapers of these cities have
contained glowing" accounts of the
concerts. Orpheus Halvorsen. with
his clever Dutch dia lect recitations,
brought down the house" wherever
the club appeared. The solos by w.
w. Norton, Charles Hunt and Harold
3. White were of unusual merit and
brought forth much praise. Don Pros
ser received much applause for his
work as accompantst, and soloist.
Claude Hitchcock was an ideal rep
resentative of the ubiquitous fresh
man." according to the Lakota &C
count of the concert. But, of course,
the main feature of the programs
were the numbers by the we'll trained
glee club of twenty-one singers.
The university faculty and students,
as we'll as residents of Grand Forks,
have been looking forward to the ap-
pearance of the glee club at home and
the opera house, Friday evening, will
be filled with loyal North Dakotans.
