An alarm of fire Sunday morning, shortly after eight o’clock, brought the fire department out. Fortunately, it proved to be but a smoke blaze about a chimney in the home of E.

A clever crook named Ole M. Bjerke, with two aliases, has been arrested in Minneapolis for robbing flats in broad daylight. Last week he went into the flat of C.P.

Bjerke has a big prison record.
