Last fall stranger who called HIM
self John Bjorgeson. engaged a room
over Mrs. ThOrsOn's restaurant. In
the course of the evening he makes
the acquaintance of a. man from
Nielsvil1e, who was here temporarily
and was looking for a room for the
night. Bjorgeson invited this other
man to his room and during the night
robs him of his watch and chain his
satchel full of clothes, and overcoat
and shoes and skips away, evidently
walking to Stephen, where all trace
was lost of him. The other day Mr..
Braggans was at Thief River Falls
serving as reporter at the prelimin-
AIRY hearing Of man, who had play
ed a similar stunt at Thief River
Falls, but who had given his name as
John Hanson. The Thief River
Falls authorities caught the fellow at
Bemidji and brought him back for a
hearing. Mr.. Braggans thought that
possibly the two robberies were made
by the same man and he notified
County Attorney Eckstrom who sent
Sheriff Forsberg to Thief River Falls
to identify the fellow which he did.
If Pennington county fails to give the
fellow his just deserts, Marshall
county will take him in hand
County Superintendent David John
son has this week sent out circulars
to school districts whose schools ex-
hibit their industrial work at the
county fair, asking that the various
districts contribute ten dollars each
for the erection of suitable building
for the school exhibits at the county
fair Everybody knows such
building is very much needed, as the
place under the grand stand where
these exhibits have been slowed
away at past fairs, is altogether too
shabby for the splendid exhibits sent
in by the school children. It is to
be hoped that all the schools inter
ested will aid the good cause at least
to the small extent asked by Mr..
Johnson.
