This back room is part of Brant-

that the tin panel in the back
door had been cut open and
pushed inwards. He went to
the door and found that the lock
on the door had been opened.
The tin panel had been cut with

Mr.. Idzorek stepped outside
to await developments not
knowing whether there was
someone in the store or not. He
had just stepped out when a
man came out of the door quiet

MIR. Brantner had arrived at the
store and the amount stolen
was quickly checked up. There
was a number of checks in large
amounts in the till which were
not taken and some currency
escaped the notice of the thief,
and it is evident that he did not
have time to finish the job.
1t is thought that the robbery
is the work of some local party
who is well acquainted with the
store.-Melrose Beacon.
Friday of last week A. M.
Stuntebeck, accompanied by his
son, Leo, John Klasen and F. H.
Herzog with the assistance of
four large wolf hounds owned
by Mr.. Stuntebeck, landed the
largest grey timber wolf ever
seen in this territory. The ami
NAL measured seven feet from
tip to tip, was three feet two
inches high and weighed about
$50 pounds.
Last Thursday evening,
Christmas Day, Mr.. Stuntebeck
was notified that the wolf was
in this territory, having escaped
from three traps, which were
set for him. Mr.. Stuntebeck
started on his trail Friday
morning at the John Klasen
home near ST. Rose and follow
ed him all day and toward eve
ming brought him down about
two miles north of Albany, but
not until the wolf had been shot
five times.
The animal had caused quite
an alarm in the Upsala and ST..
Francis territory north of here,
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1920-01-08

where it had attacked the cattle
and killed a number Of them.
The wolf was big enough to do
considerable damage and it is a
relief to the residents of this
vicinity to know that the wolf
has been killed.
Unfortunately the best wolf
hound belonging to Mr.. Stunte-
beck was injured in the chase.
1t is not known whether he was
shot or injured by the wolf. The
dog is very valuable and is un-
der the care of DR.. Kemper and
it is hoped that he will soon re-
cover and be ready for the next
wolf that dares venture down
this -Melrose Beacon.
