that the mother of Sullivan
makes the statement that her son
was murdered in Blackduck and
that a well known hotel man of
that city must give a more satis
factory explanation of the affair
than he has up to date.
There is much talk at Black
duck at present and develop
ments in the matter are now ex
pected that will settle the matter
in some way conclusive. One
feature of the affair which does
not look well is that at the county
attorney's office in this city is
the report of a detective who
woi'ked on the case for some
time, wherein.it is shown conclu
sively that conflicting stories
have been told. It is also devel
oped that some of these were ab
solutely without foundation.
County Attorney Loud is of the
opinion that there are people at
Blackduck who could throw a
very great deal of light on the
disappearance of Sullivan if the
silence they have
maintained up to date could be
broken'.

past week, but they had no ink
ling of what was going on last
night*until Mr. Olson notified
headquarters this morning. The
police say the job was done by
the same parties who broke into
the Bemidji Mercantile Co.'s-
store, the Sims store and the
store of O'Leary & Bowser, but
are at a loss to know where to
look for the thieves.
The saloons, gambling houses
and resorts were all gone over
this morning and a number of
suspicious characters were
rounded up. All were subjected
to the sweat box method of ob
taining information, but the
police so far have been unable to
learn absolutely nothing. This
afternoon there was a wholesale
hunching of well known local
tramps and tinhorns. Many of
the men refused to leave fov the
reason that there is no direct
charge against them but Chief of
Police Bailey says they must get
out of town and will use every
effort to accomplish his purpose
in freeing the city from unde
sirable characters.
