@ RIVALRY IS VERY KEEN Towns of Baudefte and Spooner Engaged in Bit- ter Strife. REMOVAL T NEW TOWN IS OPPOSED. Warring Factions Busy Promot- ing Their Respective Claims s and Towns. These are busy days in the northernpartof Beltrami county, where the village of Baudette is located and the new town of Spooner has just been platied. Several “l‘ll]l(]]l gentlemen ave interested in the latter townsite which is named in honor of Judge Spooner, of this city. The village of Baudette is the pioneer town of that/section but it has never been 01g‘m' ed and there have been various disputes over the lands in the townsite be- tween the railroad company, the people of the village and Thos. Cathcart, who clums squatter’s rights. Some months ago a petition was filed with Judge Spooner asking for the organization of the village under the law which Erovided that a townsite may be eld in trust by a judge of the district court. Then came the Catheart claim which was argued before the land office officials at Crookston. It resulted in sub- stantially nothing further than delaying the véry needy organi- zation of the town. Baudette is a thriving willage, auspiciously located for future development and is regarded as a town with a very bright future. The idea of starting aney town a mile up the Rainy river and di- rectly opposite the Canadian town of Rainy River was con- ceived and it was believed that the entire village of Baudette - would move to the new’ location. The promoters reckoned, how- ever, without many of the older and more conservotive business men. The townsite wasS duly |2 platted, named -Spooner and when the time for fhe exodus ar- rives 1t is probable that there will be a split. * "‘Some of the oldest business men in the town have announced that they will stay in Buudette, but the sporting clement is par- ticularly desirous of removing to Spooner. Tt is just across the river from the Canadian town of Rainy River, an old established town, and the sporting people see great possibilities in the situa- l.lon 'I‘he ultimate vesult seems to be that there-will-be-—twe-towns ~about-a mile apart and that be- tween the two there will bea very. bitter rivalry which will not be conductive to the general growth or prosperity of either. To Open a Store. J.G, Morrison, the well-known Chippewa interpreter from Red Lake, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Morrison is about to engage in busineés for himself at Red Lake and is soon to open a gen- eral store. The opening stock has been purchased. He hasa wide acquaintance throughout the Red Lake country, is known as one of the most religble interpreters at the agency-and has' many friends who will extend best wishes for success.

MANY SIGNED Over Seventeen Hundred Signa- tures Attached to Petition For Chounard Pardon. The relatives of Wm. Chounard, under death sentence at Walker for the murder of his wife, have secured 1,700 signatures to the petition whn,h LhPy will present to the state pardoning board,ask- ing for the commutation of his sentence to life. Very few refused to sign the petition. The weight which it will have with the state pardon- ing board is variously estimated, but the prevalent opinion seems to be that it will be denied.
