Is Said to Have Opened Schneider
Show Case and Taken Eight
Pairs Of Shoes.
WATCHED BY PHONE OPERATOR
Miss Anderson Notified Restaurant
After Seeing a Suspicious
Character

! 1T may be all right to leave foot
! prints on the sands of time. but it is
not all right to leave them in fresh
snow, especially when suspected of
! larceny This is the conclusion
! reached by John Kosopki, late a res
ident of Poland, who is in the city
jail today charged with taking some
shoes from a glass show case, in front
of Schneider's store.
Kosopki was captured early this
morning after an exciting chase by
Patrolmen Denly and Henderson on
the roof Of the Majestic theater.
About 1870 a. M, Miss Selma Ander-
son, night operator at the telephone
exchange, saw man break. into
Schneider's show case and take out
some shoes. She at once telephoned
to Brownies Dairy Lunch, and Lee
Hendrickson and Ralph Lycan start
ed in pursuit.
Drop those shoes or I'll shoot,
shouted Lycan-who had no gun
and the thief dropped them and ran.
Hendrickson and Lycan chased him
for a block and then lost him when
he lodged behind the NangIe build
ing. The night police We're notified
and put on the trail whore he left the
street. After tracking him for some
time, they found the trail led to
ladder and that there was no trail
coming away from it. They went up
the ladder and found kosopki on the
roof.
Through an Interpreter this morn
ing, Kosopki claimed he did not take
the shoes. The case viii! come before
Judge Simons tomorrow morning at
10 a. m. The eight pairs of shoes
that formerly were in the show case
now repose in the municipal court
room for use as evidence.

Final Count Of Ballots to be Certi-
fed by George Rhea and by
- H. G. Baer.

Out of sixty ballots received this
morning from International Falls
collected at Hotel Koochiching, in
the Pioneer straw vote, Judge c. W.
Stanton, Of Bemidji, received fifty
two, placing him at the head of the
list of candidates for governor by
wide margin. Of ffty-eight ballots
cast on the presidency Theodore
Roosevelt received twenty-six, which
with ballots from other localities
| again places him in the lead by
good margin.
The majority of the ballots count
red by the Pioneer today came from
the northern part of the state where
| it would appear that Roosevelt and
Judge Stanton are the popular candi-
dates. Recent editorial comment
from papers in that section is that
the Judge will make the run when the
time comes.
In a poll of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, the Dakotas, and Montana TAX
en- by the st. Paul Dispatch, Roose-
welt has received S,233; LaFollette,
1856; Debs, 1,243 and Taft 791.
Straw votes in other sections of the
country appear to give Roosevelt an
overwhelming majority. LaFollette
appears on the majority of polls as
second choice.
Stanton has distanced his near OPP
ponents in the state race and his
friends seem confident that he will
hold the place until the end of the
contest. Eberhart, Dunn and Lee are
having a close race of their own, but
five votes separating the first from
the last. A peculiar fact noted in
today's ballots is that but a few ex-
press any second choice.
AS the ballots have been coming
in heavily during the past three days,
the contest has been extended until
next Saturday night. 1t is hoped that
every reader will have cast vote by
that time. The final count will be
certified to by George Rhea, of the
Northern National bank, and Homer
Baer of the Security bank,

Some years ago an expedition from

sent to one of our southern states
for the purpose Of observing a solar

the professors said to an old darkey
belonging to the household wherein
the scientist was quartered:
Tom, if you will watch your chick

that they'll gil go to roost at l 1

Tom was OF course, skeptical, but
at the appointed hour the heavens
darkened, and the chickens retired to
roost. At this the Negroes amazement
knew no bounds and he sought the
scientist
"Perfesser, said he, chow long ago

About a year ago." said the pro-
fessor, smilingly.

SCAND|AN OIL WAR
Fight for Control of Markets Is
Victory for Great Ameri-
can Trust.

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 5.--The war for
the control of the oil market in the
Scandinavian countries has resulted in
practically complete victory for the
STANDARD Oil Company. The only con-
cession obtained by the Scandinavian
association from the big American
company was that the price of oil in
Scandinavian territory should not eX-
coed the price asked in any other Euro
pean country.
The Standard Oil Company obtained
an entrance into the country by an
agreement with existing interests to
take over the distribution system for
oil in Scandinavia.
There was much opposition to the
scheme by the Small Dealers associa-
ton. which passed a resolution in favor
OF government Intervention to prevent
the establishment of a Standard Oil
monopoly in the Swedish market
The Austrian minister made every
effort to secure the admission to Swe-
den of Austrian OIL which has been
kept out by the Swedish safety regula-
tons. as it does NOT meet the require
ments for safe transport, being too
