Same Night, Dumas Case Be-
ing Possible Motive.
NOTHING APPEARS TO BE STOLEN
Doors in Both Instances Bear Marks
of Having Been Pried Ajar
By a Jimmy"

Two women, overcome by the
fumes of some powerful drug pre-
sumed to have been administered by
persons who broke into the Attorney
A. A. Andrews home on Minnesota
avenue in the dead of night and a
scarcely less mysterious entrance of
the Henry Funkley house, is the
strange coincidence that has so far
passed without explanation.
The entrance to thees two houses
was made several night ago, but on
ly today became public. Attorney
Andrews, one is associated with
Judge Marshall A. SpOoner in the de-
Tense of DR.. Dumas, was in Mime
apolis at the time; his wife and her
sister, Miss Nellie Cross, 10 years

at St. Paul, will, he says, begin GRIM

On top of this comes the announce

recently allowed Sheriff Hazen by
the county would not be paid; that
he had found irregularities in it and
that he refused to sign the voucher,
which can not be cashed without his
signature.

WARM TODAY; SAME TOMORROW
No Relief in Sight, According to
Guess of Weather Forecaster.

Bemidji and all Northern Minne-
sofa is experiencing one of the warm
est spells of the season, the thermo-
meters here registering 81 degrees
at p. m. today. The heat is all the
more pronounced because of the cool
ness the early part of the week, when
overcoats were as desirable then as
fans are today. Farmers are jubi-
liant over the weather condition
which they say is ideal to bring to
full frutition the present heavy
stand, the warm weather being es-
pecially favorable for corn. The
warm wave will continue over Sun
day, according to the telegraphed
weather forecast of the government,
which says, "fair Sunday, little
change in temperature with south
east to south Winds"

Dumas Case Involved?

1t is thought by some that in some
indirect way the Dumas affair has a
bearing on the mysterious episode.
Mrs. Andrews gives straight-for-
ward, we'll connected account of her
terrifying experience and her asser-
ton that someone entered the An
drews home is borne out by marks
of Jimmy on the front door which
although locked the night before,
was found wide open the next morn
ing when the women awakened from
their drug produced slumber.
The account Of the incident is CIV
EN- by Mrs. Andrews and sister sub
stantially as follows:
Along about midnight Mrs. An
drews was awakened with a start
when she heard someone at the front
door, Her sister also awakened and
while they were waiting in breath
less silence they heard the door open.
Miss Cross screamed loudly and
both women were badly frightened.
Then came the most unusual part
Of the thrilling experience.

Overcome By Odor.

Both women became aware of a
Sickening OdOr not of chlOrOform or
ether, with drugs Mrs. Andrews is
familiar but more as the odor of a
decaying animal. The fumes became
stronger and despite their fear and
effort to remain awake, both fell to
sleep and did not awaken until after
daylight.
An investigation the next morning
failed to reveal the loss of any ar
ticle. The Andrews were house
cleaning and are unable to say just
how much the house may have been
ransacked.
When Henry Funkley, who recent
ly resigned as county attorney,
learned of the Andrews entrance he
was much surprised as the door on
his house was broken open the same
night. Mr.. Funkley, with Chief of
Police Harrington, made a careful
search, but could find no clue. AS

known, nothing was taken
