HoLDuP ARTISTS
AT WORK last NIGHT
Chas. Dahen Relieved .d :Tvo
Hundred Dollars Last En-
ing Thieves CaIfk.

The holding up of Charles DalienI
last evening by two members OF sE
gang Of amateur thieves, that hare
been operating for some time past in
this city, brought matters to a head,
with the result that four members OF
the band are in the county jail, and
the fifth is being sought by local Of
icers of the law.
Mr.. Dalien is the proprietor Of the.
Pool and Billiard room on Benson ~
enue, between Third and Fourth Str,
and Tuesday evening, after locking
up for the night, he placed an unus-
uahy large sum of money, in currency,
in his pocket to take home for safe,
keeping, until the following day. It
was shortly after eleven o'clock that
he left his place of business, waking
east on Litchf1eld avenue. Az he lives
on Third st. East. it was necessary
for him to turn south on First St. An:
he neared the l. C.. Olson residence,
two masked men sprang at him, both
carrying revolvers. One OF them
prodded him in the ribs with his gun,
while the other stood a couple Of
feet back, keeping his gun leveled at
Dalien's head. The robbers said but
one word, dig"
Mr.. Dahen dug" all right, as he adj
mitted this morning, he didn't fancy
gazing into the barrels of two pistols,
especially when they were in the
hands of men as nervous as these ap-
peared to be. They were content with
the money, letting their victim keep
his watch and other valuables.
On arriving at his home Mr.. Dalien
called Chief Gilbertson, notifying him
of what had taken place.
It was about two O'Clock that Of
ficers Gilbertson, Westgard and Rud-
dy entered the abode of the gang I'M
der suspicion.
After quite a lengthy session be-
tween officers and suspects, the latter
gave up, confessing not only to the
holdup last evening, but also to num-
erous other petit crimes.
The money had been concealed in
way that would have made q pro-
fessional holdup artist turn green with
envy. The caster had been taken
from one of the legs of the bed, and
the bills concealed in this hollow op'
ening. The remainder was hidden in
the wall Of the room. part Of witch
had been cut away for the purpose.
They were taken into custody this
morning and will have their prelim-
mary hearing some time the latter
part of the week.
Many business places, particularly
those on Third St., have been the OBJ
jective points of this gang. Attempts
have been made at entering places,
and coal and minor articles have been
missing from several business houses.
Officers Gilbertson. Ruddy and
Westgard have long been suspicious
Of this outfit, which seems finally 10
have been brought to justice, and
| they have been waiting for a chance
to catch them with the goods.

Heroic Act of Willmar Boy.


Mr.. Andrew N. Dahlberg Of the
Swedish Club Svithiod at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, writes the Will
mar Tribune as follows:
"A defective chimney caused a fire
at the Svithiod Fraternity, located at
1900 5th st. Sc Minneapolis. A pass
erby noticed the fire on the roof, and
called attention of the boys to the
fact. Herbert Hoglund with more pres
ence of mind that most Of the boys,
called up the fire department and then
hurried to the third story of the build
ing. He forced a hole through the
ceiling, and then with great effort
managed to crawl through. The fire
had already gained great Roadway,
the flames were seen for blocks away.
Herbert was able to catch a hold of
a beam close to the roof, with one
hand and with the aid of a board he
knocked the boards off of the roof
The fire at this time was encircling
the young man, flames were shooting
around him so that he was hardly Wis
IDLE. But, through some miraculous
effort, he gained the top of the roof.
By this time the rest of the boys had
come to his aid and had commenced
an old time bucket brigade" After
thirty minutes Of strenuous labor, and
due to Herbert's iron and smoke proof
constitution, the fire was under con-
troll. By this time the fire department
had arrived. who put the fire out.
But after being told Of what the young
Willmar man had done, only voiced
our opinion when they said that it
was one Of the most daring and heroic
acts that had been brought to notice
for some time. Young Hoglund was
not injured, with the exception of a
small burn on the arm"
