i i U-4. i 1 'ti 1 i ROBBED HOMES OF REVERENDS i ii BURGLARS VISIT THE REVS. LEONARD AND LILJEGRAIN Stole a Gold Watch and Qiain Prom the Swedish Pastor, but Were Evidently Looking for Yellow Legged Fowls at Home of Methodist Divine. The residence of Rev. Frank J.

Liljegren, 411 Third Avenue North, was entered by burglars about 2 o'clock this morning and a valuable gold watch and chain were taken from a bed chamber in which Mr. Liljegren and his wife were sleeping. The burglars effected entrance to the house by climbing on a one-story addition, removing a screen and crawling through a second story window. After gaining the second floor they proceeded to the first floor, where they entered the bed room and secured the watch and chain. At 2:30 Mrs.

Liljegren was awakened by an unusual noise in the dining room. She aroused her husband, who immediately arose and started to investigate the cause of the noise, When he first undertook to open a door leading from his bed room to the dining room he was frustrated by some person who evidently held the knob on the dining room side. Applying a little extra force the door swung open, but there was no person in sight. The reverend gentleman proceeded to the kitchen door, which he opened. As he stood in the doorway peering out into the darkness, a man, who had evidently been secreted in the house, pushed him aside and rushed out of the door Until August We must have room for the new goods soon to arrive.

An investigation of the premises revealed the fact that the intruder had entered the house by mounting a shed tn the rear and removing a screen from i second-story window. Bureau drawers and trunks in rooms on the second Hoor had been ransacked, but nothing, pave the watch and chain, are so far found missing.

The robbery was reported to the police department this morning. ANOTHER BURGLARS Residence of Rev. H. G. Leonard Entered Wednesday Night.

The residence of Rev. H. G- Leonard, 109 Ninth Street South, was burglarized on Wednesday night, but nothing was taken save a quantity of food. Mr. Leonard and family were absentfrom home on the night in question and the house was occupied by Mr.

and Mrs. Kidder, who are visiting in the city. When they arose yesterday morning they found everything topsy-turvy. Drawers had been removed from dressers and the contents dumped on the floor and trunks and wardrobes ransacked. A closer investigation revealed the fact that burglars had entered the house sometime during the night by removing a screen from a side window.

Nothing of value, save the food, has so far been missed. It is presumed that the burglars were looking for cash, which they did not find, and being hungry devoured everything eatable in sight. The inmates of the house were compelled to visit the markets before they could prepare the morning meal. This robbery has not as yet been reported to the police.

The Forum: The importance of Granville has been much heightened as the main line connection for the Mohall branch of the Great Northern, by the volume of freight shipments and transient travel since the opening in November, 1933.

The business has been so increasingly large as to require a daily service which was inaugurated yesterday, and the line is to be extended north from Mohall at least twelve miles, as contractors and graders are now at work above that city. The Great Northern is a good hotel, at Granville, but hardly sufficient for the transient travel and a new and adequate hotel of the Cramond order at( Rugby is demanded and would be well patronized by the transient public. Crop prospects are excellent in this section and 9 bountiful harvest is almost assured, the only drawback being the fact that on the Mohall line, only 20 per cent of the lands are under cultivation. Two years more will see it nearly all yielding plenteous rewards to the thrifty farmers who are crowding into the Mouse River region. Lands are worth from $2,000 to $4,000 a quarter section.

The village of Granville is improving and aspires to be the county seat of McHenry County at 110 distant day. Practically a new high school building has been erected on a commanding eminence, a new bank building, several business structures, a new creamery and quite a few residences, the past summer. The creamery has a clientage of 400 and gives promise of successful operation. The Methodist Church now building will ens4- $3,000 on completion, and Presiding Elder Moore of Minot reports new churches going up all over his district.

Stubbins being cashier and the active manager of the Stubbins Land Loan Co.

To each and every caller who comes prepared for mv celebrated $5.00 readings, which as a matter of advertisement for this week I am giving for $1.00, as a free test I will tell your name, occupation, whom and when you will marry, and what you called for, before you decide to have a reading. HONEST PROPOSITION, (Yon to be full judge.) I do hereby solemnly agree and antee to MAKE NO CHARGE if I tail to call you by namie in full names of your friends, enemies or rivals.

In fact, I will tell you every hope, fear or ambition better than you can tell yourself, without you telling me one word, and if you are not absolutely satisfied when reading is over (you to be full judge) then pay me not one penny.

WIN YOUR HEART'S DESIRES. There is no hope so fond, nor wish so great, that cannot be gained, if properly worked upon by a strong Clairvoyant. During my twenty years of practice I have brought together in marriage, also reunited more separated, than any other five clairvoyants combined. In fact, I have made this line of occular work a specialty. Few clairvoyants, no matter how high standing, really understand this SECRET MAGNETIC power.

During the past year, December, 1903. my record for successful work is as follows: Reunited 162 separated. Brought around 227 Marriages. Gained the love of 426 certain ones for others. Located two Buried Treasures.

Located twenty-seven Absent Persons. Overcome 698 Rivals for others. And hundreds of other cases, such as business speculations, mining, lawsuits and transactions of all kinds.

C. THE GHOST, Esopus chroniclers have another mystery to solve. It is said that the ghost of Gai-ry Van Wagonen, a famous democrat of that place, who said he would never have his hair cut if Abraham Lincoln was elected has been seen at Union Center, near Judge Parker's residence. The ghost has made its appearance periodically ever since Garry died, first in 1876 (Tilden), next in 1884 (Cleveland) and again in 1892. Democrats look upon the wraith's appearance as a good omen.

There seems to be no question about its The chief of police at Grand Forks notified the local police this mojrning that a party going by the name pf J. B. Lovey had jumped a hotel bill at the Dacotah Hotel in that city last night and had left for Fargo this morning. A request was made that the man be taken into custody upon arrival here and that if he did not settle to hold him for further orders. When the Grand Forks train arrived a well dressed man stepped to the plat form and took a 'bus for the Metropole Hotel.

Desk Sergeant Wood was at the station and immediately identified the man as the Grand -Forks board jumper. The man was allowed to continue on to the Metropole, where he was approached by Officer McDonald and settled the bill immediately. Lovey is presumed to be an assumed name, as the man registered at the Metropole by another name, which is undoubtedly fictitious.

A. R.

will be held this year. Department Commander Siegfried of Sanborn was in the city this morning and stated that he thought two coaches would be required to pull the North Dakota delegations to the national encampment. He was perfecting rates and train arrangements in this city today and among other things ordered four large banners painted which will be placed on the sides of the coaches. The train will leave Valley City over the Soo one week from today, and will go straight through by the way of Montreal, where the veterans are hopeful of picking up Major Edwards and taking him along to Boston. At the least they expect to have a little visit with the major in Montreal and are looking forward to the meeting with much pleasure.

Col. and Mrs. E. C. Gearey of this city will probably attend the annual encampment SCANDINAVIAN LEAGUE.

1 The xecutive committee of the Scandinavian Republican League of North Dakota have been in session in President Johnson's office today. The result of the conference will be that nearly every Scandinavian in the state will bs enrolled in the league before election. The object of the league in addition to its fight for a primary election law will be to give to the republican state and national tickets the largest majority ever given in the state. EDITOR'S DOMESTIC WOES. Dunseith Magnet: While the editor of thib paptr was at Rolla last Satur1 day a regort come up that our wife was abandoning her home.

This story came in just before the convention was called to order and friends came and asked us to lay down our aspirations for a nomination. It would have been dishonorable to do so. It would have been an acknowledgement that ive were a party to a wrong. We were jnot and we emphatically state also that pur wife was not a party to any wrong. She has abandoned us for reasons good and sufficient, and she had a right to do so.

We would not have it otherwise. She has been true to her marriage vows. She has been pure and honorable from start to finish, she is honorable now and she will remain pure. As to a future alliance after the law ihakes legal separation, that does not concern either the writer or the reader. It is not necessary for explanation as to causes, suffice it to say has been no dishonorable act.

As to the future, our homes will be near other and our children will go back and forth as they please. We two have been good friends, we are so yet, and we always will be.
