MURDERED FOR MONEY Sensational Story Comes From Quiring Postoffice Near Blackduck. FATHER AND GIRL. MISSING. STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES. Young Lady Who Owns Home- stead Near Quiring Mysteri- ously Disappears. From Quiring postoffice near Blackduck -comes-asensational story of the mysterious disap- pearance of Miss Aagot Dahl, and her father N. O. Dahl, of Crookston, and-the opinon pre- vails at Quiring that both have boen the victims of a murder perpetrated to secure possession of a sum of money which Mr. Dahl was believed to have on his person. Miss Aagot Dahl took a home- stead near Quiring some time ago and has made her home on it. Last winter, her father N.O. Dahl, an aged man, who had for- merly resided in Crook to spend a few wecks The couple were last seen at the homestead on Apr but since that time nothing has been seen or heard of them. They were supposed to have left on a yisit to Crookston about that time. April 11 some of the neighbors visited the cabin. They found everything in djsorder. The beds where Miss Thol and her father had slept were still in dis- order and a part of their morning mesl stood on the kitchen table, The wearing apparel of both was found in the house and the gen- . eral appearance of the place at the time aroused some suspicion. The theory that the pair had made a hurried departure for Crookston was accepted, how- ever, for the time being. Mail kept arriving at the Quir- ing postoftice for the couple until the postmaster was led toinquire as to their whereabouts, when it was developed that they had not returned to Croc their relatives th knew noth- i Th mysterious disappe: unexplained 0.

The theory that Mr. Dahl and his daughter have been made away with in some manner pre- vails and the residents of Quiring are investigating. 1 A‘rumor was current in Quir- ing at the time Mr. Thol.came to live with his daughter that he had $2,000 in cash with him and this is believed to have been the inducement for some ore to mur der him and his daughter and hide the bod From a Crooks- ton bank it is learned that Thol had oaly about $150 when he left hat city. A searching party are out at ing today in an effort to dis- ome clue that will lead up, to an early solution of the mys- terious dissapearance of Mr. Thol and his daughter Snowball a Thief.

The city (’ou;u:il had a busy day yesterday and a special meeting at 10 o’clock yeste day morning failed to dispose of all | business in sight so another 1 meeting was held last ‘| night. The waterworks problem has been engr ¢ the attention of the counc some time and last night’s meeting let contracts to furnish a new pump for the city pumping station and for pipe for the new city well. The letting of the contract for fur- nishing the water mains went over, Alderman Bowser last night introduced a resolution fixing the date for the charter election at June 28. It did not receive & second. and was therefore not officially considered. The sense of the council is that the organization of the city under the charter is not desirable until the water question has been dis- posed of. Increased and ade- quate facilities for the city water supply are a pressing and pres- ent need. The installment of the necessary improvements will c in~ the neighborhood of 00 and the council realizes Yat the utmost economy isneces- sary. The steps already taken would, in’ the estimation of some of the members of the council, be nolled by any action on the charter at the present time and the sentiment is that the water problem should be disposed of St. Cloud Elks May Come. Acrrangements are in_progress for a joint picnicof the Crookston and St. Cloud lodges of Elks in this city. The Crookston lodge of Elks has already arranged to hold its annwal .outing here June 26, and a large delegation of the horned folk at ‘Grand Forks’are expected to accom- pany them. It is probable that all arrangements will be made for the St. Cloud Elks to come to this city by special train at the same time and the-day-will be a big one for Bemidji. The Elks are generally recognized as the “Rest People on Barth,” and if iy | they decide to visit Bemidji every (i effort will be made to them in a fitting m entertain Casler will Attend.
