struction. The county will spend
a few hundred dollars in equip
ping them with dump bodies.
The county already has a large
tractor which they got from the
War Department last year.
The towns of Barry, Arlone
and Clover each presented reso-
lutions to the Board to the effect
that they would each spend an
amount equal to their share of
the 100000 county road bonds
for the improvement Of the Dew
ey Avenue road leading east from
the village of Hinckley through
the above named townships to
the st. Croix river-the Wiscon-
sin line. The amounts appropri-
ated by these towns are as fol-
lows: Barry $2.196: Arlone. ST.
SAG; Clover, $1.433.. This added
to their share of the 100000
county road bonds will make over
$4,000. The Board decided to
appropriate $1l,283 out of the
county road and bridge fund for
the Improvement of the road and
the State Highway Commission
has now been asked to designate
it as a state road. If this goes
through the money will all be
spent as appropriated.
The Board spent part of yes
terday afternoon inspecting three
bridges between Pine City and
Rock Creek on the Federal high
way.

BOARD ORGANIZES
County Commissioners Meet at
Pine City. Derr Elected
Chairman.

The Board of County Commits
sioners met at Pine City Tuesday
and Wednesday for their first
meeting of the year and organ
lied with Robert Derr of Pine
City, as chairman and N. A. An
derson of Duquette as vice chair
man. Mr.. Derr was also chair
man of the Board last year and
has served in that capacity off
and on several years.
1t seems that the commissions
ers from the north end of the
county viewed it from a stand
point of economy and therefore
reelected Mr.. Derr. To have
either J. f. Zimmerman or N. A.
Anderson. north end men. as
chairman would of course run up
a bill on the county in the course
of a year when they have to
journey to the court house once
a month to sign the warrants. 1t
can surely be said that this is
working for the interests of the
taxpayers ana not for honor.
The salaries of all the county
officers was placed at the same
figure as last year. only that the
register of deeds was authorized
by the Board to hire deputy at
salary of $500 year in order
to eXpediate the work in that Of
fee.
The official printing for the
year 1920 was let to VIM. S. Nc
Eachern who has Just leased the
Pine Poker for year. Five
bids were in for the work, Mr..
McEachern's being the lowest
and was accepted.
The Board appropriated $500
to the county fair the same as
last year, although $1,000 was
asked for.
Several applications were in
asking for change from one
school district to another.
The auditor and the chairman
were instructed to sign contract
for deed for sale Of 200 acres of
the county poor farm to Harvey
Reed of Hinckley. that being the
part which contains the build
ings. The county still retain 80
acres and the auditor was further
instructed to write to the State
Board of Control for proposals
and specifications for a new set
of county poor farm buildings.
The Board decided to apply I'd
the State Highway Commission
for three four wheel drive trucks
out of the allotment from the
War Department to the state Of
Minnesota. These trucks ara
worth about $4,000 apiece. and

SHERIFF HAWlEy
GETS BOLD ROBBERS
Mystery oi Several Robberies IN
Southern Part of County
is Solved.

Sheriff r. j. Hawley and four
deputies made a raid on a farm
home at the north end of Lake
Pokegama near Pine City Friday
and there discovered the mystery
to the frequent robberies in
southern Pine County the past
few months.
Three men and n woman are
implicated in the robberies.
They are Mr.. and Mrs. Alex
Nordheim, who lived on their
land at the head Of Lake Pokeg-
anna. Stanley Gromek, 81. single,
a distant relative Of Nordheim,
who recently came up from ST.
Paul and lives with the Nord-
helms and Ksawgry Godlegwski,
38, single. a canadian soldier who
came to Pine City about four
months ago. He lived in q shack
near the Nordheims but took his
meals with them.
All Of them are Russian
Polanders and Gromek is an
alien, Mr.. and Mrs. Nordheim
came to Pine City from st. Paul
in November, 1918. They have
three adopted children. Nord-
helm is 36 years old.
The John Jelinek clothing store
at Pine City was entered and
robbed one night last summer. the
Erickson Bros. store and the
johnson store. both at Rock
Creek, werc eDtered by thieves
and goodse taken about a.nonth
ago and the Challeen store at
Pine City was robbed a few days
before Christmas and again New
Years eve. The fact that Nord-
helm made frequent trips to St,
Paul and always had ) large
trunk with Rim and several other
incidents Of like nature brought
suspicion against him and last
Friday Sheriff Hawley with 4
search warrant and four deputies
journeyed out to the Nordheim
place to see what they could And.
On the way out there they met
Nordheim and Gromek going 10
town but just passed and said
nothing. Upon entering. the
home Mrs. Nordheim angered and
was mean. Godlegwski, the sol
der, who was also in the house
was more calm and stood at at
tcntion when Sheriff Hawley
ordered him over in the corner.
The sheriff and his deputies
found about $1,000 worth of
stolen goods in the house. There
was clothing. dry goods and
groceries in big quantities, even
fine fur coats and harnesses.
Many articles still had the price
tags attached. There was flour
and sugar by the sacks.
As soon as the sheriff saw the
goods he Immediately telephoned
to town and told the marshall to
arrest Nordheim and Gromek
when they came to town. Inside
of few minutes they were told to
come along and were in the
hands q the law.
Sheriff Hawley proceeded with
The search and found the attic
chuck full Of goods and upon en-
tering the basement he found
10 gallon still full Of the stuff
which makes merry This viii
ret them into the hands Of Fed
srsl authorities. Sheriff Hawley
set the still down alongside of
the door while he was getting
ready to leave. The woman i'm
mediately kicked It over and
half Of the precious Juice -
spilled. The balance d II j now
safe and sound in the court house |.

Charles Tehn, widely known
among the Swedes in and near
Kingsbury, CAL. died suddenly
last week. He had been in busi-
ness in California for a number
of years and was very active in
social life among his compatriots.
Resent Insults.
Robert Storm-Petersen, a Dan
ish carricaturist, who visited
this country last summer, has
been thoughtless enough to pub
lish a series of derogatory and
nonsensical remarks about Ame-
rica, since he returned to Copen-
hagen. Numerous expressions
of anger are finding their way
into the columns of the Danish
American newspapers because
the gentleman apparently strives
more for effect" than for fair
and constructive criticism of
which. it seems. he is decidedly |
not competent.

An Experiment.
A large grocery establishment
In Portland, Ore, last week re-
ceived consignment of Danish
butter for retailing purposes. If
the sale comes up to expecta-
tions, it is the plan of the firm
to import regular quantities of
the famous article. Prior to the
outbreak of the worldwar an i'm
port concern in New York speci-
allied in Danish butter. but the
great conflict made it impos-
sible at that time to continue the
business.
Amateur Stage History.

tipn is made that as this year
marks the fiftieth anniversary of
the beginning of Scandinavian
amateur drama in the Mill City,
steps be taken to celebrate the
