_ WINDINGSHEETOF WINTER Bemidji Wrapped in Mantle of Smow Twelve Inches Deep Today. PROMISE OF SPRING LIES BUR- " IED DEEP IN BEAUTIFUL. Snow Shovels Displace Garden Implements and Imprecations - Greet the Weather Man. Bemidji awoke this morning to find itself wrapped in winter’s winding sheet, all present. hope of spring banished, and one of the most severe snow storms of the winter prevalent. Mr. Hicks predicted it and although the storm is a trifle Jate it sustains Mr. Hicks’ reputation, A promising spring morning yesterday developed a mild rain which later changed to snow and at 8:30 last night the fall was as ——heavy if not heayier than- any- thing of record during the past winter. Snow fell during nearly all of the night and the storm re- sumed with renewed severity this morning. _ The snow was heayy and wet and clung to everything it struck. Signboards-are covered with a clinging mantle of the beautiful, the jackpines assume the most fantastic shapes of natures hand- iwork and Bemidji underfoot is a mass of slush that is conducive to ill temper ina well developed degree. Telegraphand telephone wires, clothes lines and fences all are laden with seyeral inches of snow. Telephone wires are down in many places and the service of the local exchange is subjected to inconvenience and delay which it will require several days to ad- just. At noon the precipitation had been fourteen inches, and the storm continued unabated. West of this city the fall is reported as even heavier than here.

The spring term of the Bel- trami county district court is drawing to a close. The last jury case was disposed of yester- day-and Judge McClenahan_dis: missed the petit, jury last night. The Judge thanked the jury for their attendance and attention-to business and the various mem- bers of the venire are drawing their county warrants and pre- paring to leave for their homes today. The petit jury has been'in ses- sion for three weeks and Judge McClenahan’s well known policy of keeping at the grind has re- sulted in'its disposing of a ldrge amount of business. Judge Mc- Clenahan has many"friends in Boemidji and the respect and re- gard in which he is generally held has been, substantially en- chanced during the present term of district court. His uniférm courtesy to court officials, mem- bers of the jury-and the bar have been universally appreciated and many compliments have been paid his efficiency and the ability and conSideration which he brings to the discharged of his official duties. There are a number of court cases still to be disposed of but the session is not expected to last over three days more at the outside. 4 feet has fallen in the Red River Valley and the flood record of the valley is expected to eclipse all pastrecords. The snow is water laden and will melt witn a rush that will cause the turbulent Red to leave its banks and result in inundations allalong the line that will be a serious menace to prop- erty interests and may even en- danger life. Traffic on the Great Northern has also been seriously inter- rupted by the storm, but the Northern Pacific trains went without delay. North of this city the storm was not as severe as here and at the north line towns the fall of snow:was not as heavy by several-inches as in Bemidji. The snow will leave with a rush before an April sun tomor- row according to the weather predictions and rubber boots, life preservers and canoes Wwill be staple articles on the market for the next few days. Bena Still a Live One. A special commissioner from the general land office was at Cass Lake yesterday for the pur- pose of hearing the evidence in the townsite controversy be- tween the rival towns of Richards and Bena. The patriots of the Bena townsite reccived a body blow some time ago when they were ordered to leave the town- site and folded their tents and departed. They have taken the matter up with the general land office wich the result that a re- hearsing has been secured and Bena may yet hold- her head up as a formidable rivalof Richards. Thomas M. Catheart assessor of the town of Baudette is in the city on business. WRITE US IN REGARD TO ~ Free Scholarships CONWAY'S .

Traffic on the Great Northern suffered a double interruption last - night. The west bound through frieght was wrecked about three miles west of Er- skine and a number of cars went into the ditch.
