Brady Saturday. _ INJURED MAN'S CONDITION CON- SIDERED GRAVE. ~Warner Gives Himself Up-to rllie ++ Authorities and Awaits Devel- opments in County Jail. What may develop a fatal shoot- ing and “a charge of murder against Frank Warner, who is well known in this vicinity, where . he has resided for several years} occurred last Saturday evening atthe Vallehomestead aboutthree miles and a half from Turtle River, when Warner shot, with-a shot gun, and seriously wounded Frank Brady, a well-known log- ging-camp cook, who now lies in a critical ‘condition at St An- thony’s hospital in this city. Bach man tells a story of the shooting. Warner’s story is to the effect that Brady came to his _ homestead and that while he was reparing supper the twobecame inyolyed in a' dispute over some old grndge which culminated in blows. He asserts that Brady “ knozked him down and then start: ed toleave the house. * He shot|: * ‘him while he was leaving the premises and says he beheves himself justified in doing it. From a statement of the shoot- ing and the cirecumstances lead- " ing up to it given out by Brady|. g up to Députy Sheriff Bailey yester- day an altogether different phase . of the aflalt is developed. , Brady states that he’was in- - vited out to the Valle homestead which Warner has undertaken to arm on shares this year by War- _ner ‘and arrived at the shack “shortly before supper. 'The two _have been quite friendly for a number ‘of years. Warner was sullen and morose and started talking of some trouble the men " had had five or six years ago. A dispute followedand Brady stated * o Warner that he did not care to haye trouble with him and that “he would leave the premises. alked to the edge-of the: clear IT FLEW AWAY Mud With Which a Red Lake Homesteader Plastered His Shack Flew Away. Attorney Henry Funkley, the sage of Blackduck and a gentle- man whose reputation for truth and veracity has never been as- sailed, is in the city today, having Jjust returned from a trip to the a remarkable story: Mr, Funkley has-a-claim-near ‘Red-Lake and went over to visit it.. Healsohas his mind made up where the big town that will some day spring up on the Red Lake reservation is to be located and says it is located near the nar- rows where the railroad will cross from Kelliher to Red Lake Falls. | Some day it will be a rival of Be- midji. However, the real substance of Mr. Funkley’s story was about the mosquitoes. Before leaving on the trip he says that he had been warned that they had some exceptionally handsome and well- eqipped specimens in the Red Lake country but he had no idea that they were as numerousor as large as he found them. In the swamps they are so thick as to be a positive menace tolife, Trav- elers through the woods protect their hands with gloves and wear misquito bar about their faces to| v avoid the pests. “You can watch the mud and see them grow,” said Mr. Funk- ley. “Whole sections of swamp up in that country seems; to take life and fly away at once. Wiad is the only thing that keeps them down. They are a terror toevery | trayeler in the woods. A friend of mine tells.a story which I can vouch foras T saw the occurrence that demonstrates just how ser- ious the pestis. He built a nice shack, you know, and decided to chinck it upand plaster it with mud. The only 'mud available ‘was where the misquitors”were and he had an idea that would be all right 8o he went ahead. Had the shack all plastered nicely and: built a fire inside. = This seemed to give the miscreants life and do you know while we sat there all the mud took life and flew. away and now he will have fo plaster it again. Yes, you bet the Red Lake counvry has the world beat for misquitoes.”’ _RACING GIRGUII— 2 on his way b:u:k to Turtle| - ver and several roads leading diffefent diractions confused| thathié'shouted to Warner asking him which was the road to Warner appearod in the gor with his shotzup’ and told m to get ‘out immediately. He d not give him the information “he asked about the road. Warner * followed him and discharged the shotgun at him at short. range. The charge - took effect in_the small of the back. Brady fell to . the ground and Warner started him with the gun. He - grabbed themuzzle and staggered to his feet.. Warner wrenched it from; his grasp and returned to * thehouse to zet another cartridge “to finish” him with,” he re- warked, = The - injured man serawled in to the under brush and hid ard finally - after the most painful effort, reached the shack of a neighbor about, forty rods " distant where he remained until - he was brought to Turtle River and then to this city. Abouteight o’clockand a short time after the' shooting Warner had visited the neighbor’s house, before Brady arrived, mformed them that he had shot a man and that he was overin the under- brush somewhere and that he ready to give himself up to uthorities.

C. Sullivan Was Murdered. SORROW-OF - ISSING NAN'S —MOTHER.-PATHETIC. — Official Proclamatlan lssued Sat- _urday 0flerl|;u State Reward of $250, ¢ Governor Van Sant-has acs cepted the theory that J.-C. Sul- livan, who mysteriously disap- peaaed from Blackduck one year ago, was murdered, and Satur- day issued a proclnmatlon offer- ing a reward of $250 for the cap- ture of the murderer or any in- formation that would lead to his apprehension and conviction. County Attorney Loud of this city has been endeavoring to'have the state offer a reward for some time and took the matter up with the governor ‘early last winter. It is largely: through his efforts and the constant appeals of the grief striken mother aof Sullwan, whose sorrow is pathetic in the extreme, that: the lewnrd has been offered, Mrs. Sullivan is a washer- woman who resides in St.. Paul, and is a widow. - F'rom her small savings she made seyeral trips to this city and the story of how i zed by a Minne-| apolis detective agency is still fresh in the minds of Pioneer readers.. She had been induced to go to Brainerd, where she was informed that she would find conclusive evidence that would lead to the conviction of the men who had: made away with her son. She was disappointed and immediately-upon her ‘return to St. Paul visited the governor and laid the whole matter before him ‘with the result that the following proclamation was issued Satur- day: ‘ “Whereas, It has been made satisfactorily to appear to me that J.. C. Sullivan, a citizen of Blackduck, this state, was brut- “lally: murdered by an unknown person or persons at the city of Blackduek;-this state; and’ v ¢‘Whereas, The perpetrator- or perpetrators of said crime have | not-been arrested-and the public safety requires his or their ‘cap- ture, eonviction and ' punishment, for said offense; . “Now, Therefore, T, 8. R. Van Sant, governor of - the state of Minnesota, will cause to be paid out of the treasury of the state restands. the sum of $250 for t| conviction of the pe ator or perpetrators of smd crime, or for such information as will lead to the aforesaid arrest and convic- tion,” tBlackduck t.he theory that Sullivan ‘was murdered does not revail and - the citizens of that village have resented the insinu- ations from time to time that they were lax in the matter of |= looking after the disappearance of Sullivan. Beyond the fact that he left a hotel in-that- villege alive ‘and well to go to the Big Fork cotintry they know nothing: and any one of a dozen fates may have overtaken him besides mur- der.. Detectives who have been employed by the state and county | & authorities have seqmed evidence | W sufticient to convince County At- torney Loud that Sullivan was murdered, however, and he hopes that the reward may develop evi: dence that will clear up the mys- tery in some manner.
