The (Bemidji) Pioneer
May 6, 1903

                                GOT HIS MAN
                                
                         FRANK CUMMINGS Brought Back
                            From Omaha by Sheriff
                                THOS. BAILEY
                                
                         Accused of Stealing Sixty
                           Watches Last January
                               at Blackduck
                               
                         Had Ten of the Watches in
                         His Possession When Caught
                                by Sheriff
                                
              Sheriff BAILEY returned from Omaha Monday, bringing
            with him FRAND (sic) CUMMINGS, who is charged with
            stealing sixty watches from BARNEY ANDERSON at the
            Merchants Hotel in Blackduck last winter. Then of the
            watches were found upon his person when he was appre-
            hended by Chief DONAHUE of Omaha. He had also 40
            brokers tickets on his person.
            
              The capture was an accident. During Pres. ROOSEVELT'S
            stay in Omaha the police of that city were keeping a
            sharp lookout for crooks and the chief of police
            spotted this man and when taken to the police station
            he attempted to drop the brokers tickets into a cuspidore.
            When they searched him they found ten watches. When
            closely questioned he broke down and told his story.
            Chief DONAHUE notified Sheriff BAILEY and the latter
            went after his man. A. N. ANDERSON, the owner of the
            watches, left for Chicago with the brokers tickets
            to redeem same.
