DEAN { SkE|E
STORE ROBBED
BURGLARS GET AWAY WITH $500
WORTH OF JEWEIRY SUN.
DAY NIGHT.

Burglars gained entrance thru the
rear door to the jewelry store Of Dean
& Skeie last Sunday night and without
being detected succeeded in getting
away with about $500 worth Of jewelry
in the shape Of rings, bracelets and
other articles. A brake shoe from a
freight car was used as Jimmy to
force the door, the instrument being
left behind to furnish the officers with
a possible clew. Only such articles
as the thieves could carry in their
pockets were taken, many larger and
valuable articles being left untouched.
A silver dollar on the cash register
the robbers dropped one small ring
on the floor, evidently not deeming
it worth while to pick it up with the
whole store before them. Most Of the
rings taken were removed right out of
the show window where they had been
placed on display over Sunday. One
of the rings was a diamond valued at
$65. AS usual most of the small
pieces of jewelry of considerable value
had been placed in the safe which the
burglars did not attempt to trifle with,
apparently not being versed in the
gentle art of safe blowing. The en-
tire stock of bracelets carried by the
store was taken, from which it is taken
that they are particularly fond of
these articles Of adornment no doubt
having been accustomed to wear them
in the shape of handouts.
Altho the officers have been work
ing on the case no clues as to the iden-
tity Of the culprits have been discover.

Poultry Show
Next Week
LARGE NUMBER OF ENTRIES MADE
The indications Point to Biggest Show Ever Held
Here - A Large Attendance Expected.

The managers of the st. Marie
Poultry Association are busy prepar-
ing for the poultry show which will
be held In this city the coming week.
The room in the Odd Fellows build
ing formerly occupied by the post
office has been secured In which to
hold the show and Is being put In
shape.
The association will furnish the
ooops In which the birds Will be kept
while on exhibition and are being
prepared at the present time. Thirty
foui double coops are being made,
These are sufficient to take care
of three hundred birds and II more
are needed the material will be on
hand, knocked down, so that addi
tional coops can be put up In short
order.
The place chosen for the exhihi-
tion Is the nest that could be secured
IL is centrally located on Main
street and is large enough to afford
ample room for the show.
The premium lists and entry blanks
are out aud have been distributed
ana Superintendent Keister ls now
busy In preparing the building for
the show and in putting up the coops
The poultry raisers throughout the
vicinity are taking a great deat of
interest Ia the coming exhibition.
The lectures at the Farmers Movable
School have served to bring poultry
raising prominently before the people
nd has awakened an interest in many
who bad never given the subject any
attention aud will aid materially
Ia increasing the attendance.
From the present Indications the
number of birds entered Will be
much greater than at the last show
and thos exhibited will be of higher
class. The exhibition last year
showed such a marked difference
between thoroughbreds and grade
fowls that the attention OF thu
growers has all been concentrated OF
thoroughbreds and IL is doubtful
If any grades will exhibited.
This will make the general exhibi
tlon better and will make no prac
tical difference Ia the number o
exhibits as many who before wer'
contented with a good line of grad'
poultry have now gone to raisini
thoroughbreds which shows one o
the benefits that a poultry show Il
to a community.
Many OF the birds exhibited will
be for sale which will Hford othe
raisers an opportunity to better thei
line OF fowls aud that without goinI
TO the expense of sending away.
