TW O FIRES IN ON E NIGHT Both Blazes Extinguished Without Calling Out Fire Department. The Buffet restaurant, located on Minnesota avenue between Second and Third street, was last night visited by two fires, out both blazes were extinguished without the aid of the fire depart ment. The first occurred about 3 o'clock this morning, when the clerk in the restaurant was filling a gasolene can connected with the coffee urn, which was being heated by afire underneath. The can overflowed and the gasolene ran down the pipe to the fire be low and ignited and soon tne cor ner of the building in which the urn is located was a mass of flames. The clerk gave the alarm to the bartender in the saloon adjoining the restaurant, who was just retiring for the night, and together they put out the fire. At a later hour a blaze in the ceiling of the kitchen re sulted from a chimney burning out, but this was also extin guished by men about the place. The decorations in the lunch room were considerably damaged. FOR SALERubber stamps. The Pioneer will procure any kind of a rubber stamp for you on short notice. A BOLD, BAD CHARACTER Feminine Artist Does the Real Hold Up Stunt at Cass Lake. SECURED $500 FROM YICTIHS. *,$se FOUR Was Arrested by the Police Money Was Found on He? Person. and What would make Jesse James or any of the real live ones look like the remainder of a lead dime after the treats were paid for happened at Cass Lake Thursday night when some real bold bad member of the feminine sex with the aid of a trusty revolver got busy on the streets after the police had fallen asleep, and re lieved four of her male friends of a sum of money not less than $500.00. No reports have been sent out from the village and all that could be learned was through persons who came dawn from there where the matter is apparently being hushed up to some extent. It seems that the female after getting her victims full of Tom gin and other drinks got them out on the streets where she un covered the cold steel and de manded money. One victim was relieved of $200 and two in turn gave over $100 while it could not be learned what the fourth one contributed. Each one was taken in turn and the whole plan was carried out in the neatest kind of fashion. The woman was arrested in the morning and over $500 to gether with the revolver were found on her person. What was done with her could not be learned but she will undoubtedly be given the limit of the "new code." The affair is the first and only one of the nature that has ever been successfully carried out in the northwest and Cass Lake has the distinction of having the first successful female bandit ever brought before the public. 'OST beer, no matter by whom brewed, is clean, pure and sterilized. These primary conditions prevail in nearly all breweries. Many pure, clean beers, however, are not good beers. Clean, pure beer may be made from almost any cereal and may be aged and sterilized, but it will not necessarily be good beer. CORN OR OTHER CHEAP MATERIALS WILL NOT MAKE GOOD BEER. The maximum of Quality is not there. The brewers of Corn-made beer can and do justly claim purity, cleanliness and freedom from germs. BUT THEY CANNOT JUSTLY CLAIM QUALITY. ALBERT C0NAT N0T6UILTY This Is Decision of Jury in Case Against Nan Ac cused of Arson. Jt-te-s The jury in the case of the state against Albert Conat, ac cused of setting fire to the New ton building at Funkley, late Saturday nighl brought in a ver dict of not guiltyr" The charge against Conat was arson in the first degree. He was represent ed by Henry Funkley and the state by County Attorney Mc Donald. The case against Mike Walter, who was indicted on a charge of grand larceny committed by tak ing a considerable quantity of timber from state lands located near Turtle River, was con tinued over the term. Today the civil suit of Rose Freeman vs. William Lennon, involving the ownership of a team of horses, is being tried, H. J. Loud appearing for the plain tiff and E. E. McDonald for the defendant. There is only a few small civil cases yet to try and it is probable that the term will end tomorrow. REPORT FREE AL- COHO MEASURE Sub-Committee of House on Ways and Means Will Re port Bill Wednesday.

We Guarantee Purity, Sterilization and Excellence of Materials. Superiority of Quality is the Test- GARDNER JUROR SrJHSQUALLIED cip. Lit f^lC* Will Be Tried for Contempt. Sensational Evidence Will Be Introduced. Grand Rapids, March 26 There were some sensational de velopments in the Gardner case Friday. At the morning session the attention of Judge McClena han was called to the fact that I^eonard Blanchard, the first {juror suorn, had expressed very positive opinions as to the case. At the beginning of the after noon session it was moved by the defense that Blanchard be re called for further examination' and this was granted by the court. He was then challenged for actual bias. He stated he had never expressed an opinion that he remembered and denied that he had discussed the facts with others. Following Blanchard witnesses were called to testify to con versations with him. It was shown that he had attended sessions of the first trial that he had said Gardner was worse than Oallahan, recently found guilty of assault, and that Blanchaid had announced he would be drawn on the jury. Witnesses stated that when remonstrated with by those who heard this latter statement, Blanchard replied that he "didn't give a damn if he had talked about the case and expressed his opinions." After a record had been made the state admitted the truth of the challenge and Blanchard was then discharged from the jury. Immediately thereafter Judge McClenahan requested that proper steps be taken for the trial of Blanchard for contempt and an application for an order to show cause. Judge McClena han signed the order fixing Mon day evening as the time for the hejiring. He instructed that the necessary witnesses be sub poenaed at once. Blanchard is a young man, but is married and has a family. Science and experience have proved that good beer MUST contain two essential ingredientsHOPS and BARLEY, and for pale beer a small percentage of rice. But it is much cheaper to use Corn-Grits as a substitute for Barley-Malt. This is why some of the large brewers use Corn it costs less. W use those materials which are recognized in the science of brewing as the essential elements for a really health- ful, palatable, honest and superior beer and of these only the very best, regardless of cost. Not a grain of corn ever enters our brewery in any manner or for any purpose. Our precautions for pure, clean and perfectly sterilized beer are unequaled. Our storing capacity of 600,000 barrels, exceeding that of any two other breweries in the world, enables us to lager (age) our beer from four to five months. udweisersreasonethesrFo The King of All Beers must and does command a higher price ilian any other beer, and has a greatey sale than all other bottled beers. TAEXDI During the three sessions held during the day 30 veniremen were sworn. The jurymen se iected were four in number, as follows- George Rice, C. K. Munday, Mike McCambridge and Henry Volke. why men should not go west, but should secure employment at "home. Men shipped west are going into a country where it rains for the next three months. They have been promised $2 25 per day. This does not include board which costs at least $1.00 per day, and every man must iurnish and carry his own bedding. They have been shipping men from Duluth, Minne- apolis. St. Paul and Chicago since the first day of De- cember. The class of people of that countrythe Japs, China- men and Dagosand men from this country will not work with that class of people when they get there. I was told by Mr. Ross, a lumberman, that he had seen a letter in Du luth stating that there are now forty men for every job there. As soon as spring opens and railroad work starts, rail- road wages will be from $2.00 to $2.50 a day here, good camps, good board and your blankets furnished When the drive starts we will want a large number of men. We already have orders for 250 men. 150 men wanted for peeling and loading cedar, by the piece or by the month. The Minneapolis Employment Agent now here, has not told one man the price of board or that you have to buy your own bedding. It is a good long ride and a still longer walk back You are not always sure of the work. The more men going out there tends to cut the wages. REMEMBER THE RELIABLE EMPLOYMENT AGENT, Dick Hawkes But 15 remain of the present venire and no one anticipates that the four men necessay to fill the box can bs procured from this number.
