The Crools- ton paper’s story was a very transparent effort and bore the ear marks of an amateur fulmin- ation from the opening to—the closing hne. It has, however, served to draw the attention of the newspapers to Bemidji and the return of the city to its old free and easy waysis being much discussed. The Roseau Region for lack of a better subject, per- haps, rehashes the whole story and makes some additions to the original account as it deems meet and expedient. The Region be- trays a yellow streak and a sad lack of mature judgment when it makes the unqualified statement that the business men of Bemidji are apparently a set of fellows without any decency, and dwells much on the Sodom-like Bemidji of the present. Bemidji is a new and growing town, the best town in this section of the country,but it has been much villified by irre- sponsible publications like the Roseau Region. For the inform- ation of all concerned let it be said that Bemidji isa closed town and its code of moral ethics at present is quite up to the stand- ard of staid Presfiyberiumsm which obtains at Crookston, Roseau and other towns of this section who live in-the past and not in the busy present. In all justice to all concerned and in view of the unpleasant circum- stances it is up to the Crookston Journal to explain away the in- justice it has done to this city and its people generally. JUDGE MURRAY of Wadena is announced as a candidate for the republican nomination for the legislature from the fifty-fourth legislative district, comprising Wadena, Hubbard Todd counties. Mr. Murray announces his candidacy over his own ture this week. The legislative fights of the recent campaigns in Wadena county have been more or less spectacular, but the can- didacy of Judge Murray may be depended upon to harmonize mat- ters greatly. The judge is one of the pioneers of this section of the state, a capable, clean, whole- souled gentleman, who honestly aspires to represent his district in the state legislature,is entitled to the honor and will no doubt Teceive it with but slight opposi- tion, The Minnesota legislature needs Murray and it is to be re- gretted that more men of his calibre, personality and sterling integrity do not aspire. and Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, ~ a8 mereury will-surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous _ surface.

Will Be One of First Sawmills in the Big Fork Country and Will Soon Open. One of the first sawmills in the Big Fork country will soon be in operation at Ripple. The equip- ment of a mill-at Menahga has been purchased and will be moved to Ripple at once. Harry Grove, one of the well known pioneers of the Big Fork country has just completed ar- rangements for the purchase of the mill. Several other prom- inent people at Ripple are inter- ested with him in the deal. The mill has a capacity of 20,000 per day and it is expected 0 have it removed-to-the new—lo- cation and ready for business by the later part of April. There are several small mills in the Big Fork country but this is the first mill of importance to goin in that section. In connec- tion is a shingle mill. It is ex- pected to have a large patronage in custom work from the settlers in that country and with the coming of the railroad its possi- bilities will be greatly enlarged. THIEVES CAUGHT Men Who Robbed Great Northern Box Cars at Lengby Apprehended. Last Saturday afternoon Sher- iff Sullivan of Crookston and Special Agents Britt and Delaney of the Great Northern went to Lengby, and before night suc- ceeded in placing Ole J. Olson, Adolph Hindem and Martin O. Hindem under arrest, Olson be- ing a son in-law and Adolph being the son of the latter. The officers went armed with a search warrant, and searched the Olson and Hindewn premises for about $200 worth of goods stolen from a Great Northern box car at Lengby. Nearly all the goods were lo- cated stowed away in the hay loft of Olson’s barn and between the RY NOI[SI joists in his house, under the wood pile and buried in a snow bank near at hand. In Martin Higdem’s house goods were found in the cellar and garret and in ‘a_little shanty near.the house. ble in Lengby and the Hindems live a mile and a half northwest of town. Still more of the goods were found under a broken down pig pen. In digging up the goods the officers did some very clever work. The three men arrested were taken to Crookston Sunday and were arraigned before Judge McLean at 11 o’clock yesterday morning, They all waived ex- amination and were held to the district court under $500 bonds each, which will be furnished. The stuff stolen consisted of sugar, lard, syrup, matches, raisins, prunes. crackers, to- bacco, candy. rolled oats, oil, buckwhaat and other merchan- dise which had been consigned to merchants at Lengby and ‘Bag- ley. The affair has created a big sensation at Lengby where the men arrested are all well known. DOWN TIMBER | Logging of Red Lake Reservation Is Progressing Very Sat- isfactorily. Maj. Scott, acting Indian agent, has just returned from a visit to the logging camps on the Red Lake reservation, where a large amount of down timber is being logged by various com- panies, under the direction of the agent. On account of the pine having been laid low by a severe storm about a year ago the tim- ber was in such shape that there were many drawbacks to oper- ations being conducted as rapidly as could have bheen desired. Tn the circumstances, Maj. Scott is well satisfied with the results ac- complished, and believes that the Indians will realize handsomely from the logging of the timber, There has already been cut 9,000,000 feet, and the major is contfident that the cut when com- pleted will reach 10,000,000. He also believes that the entire cut- 20. Howell Morgan, who recently resigned his; position as chief clerk at the Indian agancy, left Monday morning for his future home in Louisiana.
