WILL BE FOR BOB DUNN Indications That Clearwater County Will Send Dunn Delegation. TIAL FRIENDS - INTER- ESTED FOR HIM. 7 0I.lvll.ls‘S||pp0rvters Disgusted With Campaign Have Stopped Work- ing For Their Man. “One of the best cxamples of what a dirty political campaign will do that has come under my observation for some.time,” said a well known Bemidji gentleman this morning, “may be had by the Collius forces in the case of Clearwater county, where the Colllns forces who have been claiming a very great deal of strength up there have about collapsed and many are openly confessing their disgust with the unfair campaign that is being conducted against R. C. Dunn. A lot of the old war horses up that way have been credited by the more enthusiastic Collins men with being tied to the cause of the little judge whether they are or not. I was at Bagley yesterday on business and in talking with some of the people prominent in county politics up there I learn that they hold the opinion quite generally that the county will send a Dunn delega- tion. “There was some Collins senti- ment there earlier in the cam- paign but Republicans up that way like Republicans in every section of the state aro becoming disgusted with the uefair fight made against Mr. Dunn irrespec- tive of preference in the present fight. The bulk of the “Collins sentiment in Clearwater: county has been-in- Bagley heretofore but throughout the county the people are lining up for Dunn in the most satisfactory manner. “Local issues will enter into the ficht. The village of Bagley is of conrse anxious to bond for the court house but out inthe country the proposition is not well received in some localities. 1 believe Clearwater county will be found in the Dunn column at the state convention.” i OLD PINE STUMPS 01d Pine Stumps Taken Out and ____Made Into—Turpentine and.Charcoal. From the vi __isreported ane. possesses clements of novelty. are being ap- proached by parties who offer to clear their land of all the stumps, asking nothing in ) removed. 5 sition for the farmers and of course the terms are promptly accepted. The parties who dothe work take the pine stumps so dug up and from them the turpentine, g what remains of the wood, and also the stumps other than pine, for manufacturing charc The bargain is reported to be a mu- tually profitable one. The pine stumps are the best part of the tree for producing turpentine, and are secured at a cost far less than that of live pine timber, and - the other stumps used for mak- ing charcoal are obtained at aless " cost than is the cordwood usually aised for that purpose. The farm- ers get their land freed from stumps without cost to them- selves, and as the stumps either in or out of the ground are value- less to them, they do not object if the extractors make a protit. nity of Hinclklev ndustry-which John Smith, who has been making his home in-Bemidji for —geveral-days-is—wanted-for—the theft of 25 at the N.

Brainerd Dispatch: The Dis- patch is not authority on the kind of things they keep up north to drink, but from the description giveneby News.-Agent- Wheeloek: of a little incident on_the M. & I. a few days ago one might say that he had been drinking -something through_a straw. _ This. is. Mu. Wheelock’s story: “A few days ago we were going north and about a mile the other side of Hackensack a horse weighing 1500 pounds jumped on the track and started running ahead of the engine. The whistle was tooted, the bell was rung, everybody yelled but the old nag just threw his tail up in the air and kept snorting away, all the time keep- ing ahead of the engine in a pell mell canter. Do what we could we could not get the horse off-the track. Mile post after mile post was passed but the old steed kept up the pace. When near Lathrop ‘Moustache Liz’ ran out and hit the horse four times in the head and then the darn critter would not budge. Portage was reached on time and five men got out with clubs to turn the beast off the track but ene was kicked in the shins, another wentrolling in the gutter and the old horse .plowed right through the ‘village.’ At Hunters there was a freight train on the track and darned if the horse didn’t run right up on the cowcatcher, jumped off on the side track and ran avound Mr. Train and ‘on the main line again ahead of the passenger. ~The horse kept right on and finally reached the big 2000-foot bridge across Leech lake. Hereis where it was the limit, but not much. He just skipped along over the ties and made the bridge all right and finally when within a short distance of Walker, Johnny Clu- low, the brave M. & I. brakeman, jumped out, threw his coat over the horses’ head and got him off the track, otherwise he would have been going yet. A distance of 12 miles was made.” Smyth a Candidate. The announcement is made, to- day thst D. C-"Smyth will be a candidate for the- Republican nomination for register of deeds. Mr. Smyth has been a resident of Bemidji for about six years and during most of that time has been engaged in business. A short time ago he withdrew from an active participation in the affairs of the Bemidji Mercantile Co., doing a successful grocery business in Bemidji. Mr, Smyth will make thé -for the 1iomination. Editor Takes a Trip. Editor Ernst Oberg, of the Blackduck American, with his family were passengers on-the south-bound-M. & T. this morn- ing and are just starting on a six weeks’ trip, which will take them to Mr. Oberg’s -old home in Indiana and to the St. Louis ex- position. before returning. Mr, Oberg’s sister is in charge of the business department of " the American during his'absence and Editor Taylor will see that the paper comes out on time. To Attend Convention. Rey. Jesse Dodds, pastor of the M. E. churches at Bla and. Novthome, i it day. My, Dodds is on his way to Detroit, to attend the Epworth League convention. He says he likes his new field of work and reports from that section are that the people are also well pleased with their bargain. Both churches are grow under Mr. Dodd’s guidance. Buy Farms. V. and L. Kane, who for some time past, have been employed at the Crookston mill, this city, this morning concluded negoti- atiens with C. €.

Fwill-be-extended toseveral speak-! familiar GRAFTERS MUST GO Government Officials Investi- gate Fradulent Homestead Entries in This Section. ’ PROSECUTIONS-ARE EXPECTED TO FOLLOW INVESTIGATION: Asserted That One Man Has Made Entry and Proved Up On Four Ciaims. The announcement that a gov- ernment detective in the cmploy of the general land office at Washington has been looking up alloged digressions upon the homestead law in DBeltrami county is productive of some- thing of a sensation today. It has been known for some time that a government agent was looking up fraudulent homestead entries in this vicinity and as a result of his t and recent de- velopments several land sharks who have been operating in the northern part of this county are said to be missing from their usual haunts. joi Almost every homesteader and land owner in this nity is ith the methods of the land sharks who pose as locators, the inconvenience and annoyance they cause to prospective settlers and of the downright outrages which they haye perpetrated in many cases. A settler who had been victim- ized by a locater and alleged U, S. Commissioner near Blackduck somo time ago, is said to have made the complaint to the gen- eral landoffice_which resulted in the beginning of the investiga- tion. It is-asserted by those who are in a position to kaow that fradu- lent homestead entries have been made almost without regard for anything in this section and set- tlers in the vicinity of Blackduck tell of one man who proved up on four claims, under four different names, sold the pine and left the country A regularly organized system of graft has been prevalent it is alleged for some time and innum- erabie contests have been started merely fop-the purpose of “shak ing down” the new comers to this section many of whom were not familiar with the homestead laws. The abolishment last winter of arge number of the U. S. com- i ips, which-were-held esponsible- for=most of~ the trouble had a very wholesome effect and the ofti n the hands of an unscrupulous man ts said to have been one of the wmost pro- lific grafts imaginable. Cass Lake to Celebrate. (lass Lake, June 8.—Arrange- ments are being made to hold -a monster Fourth of July celebrs tion here. A committee which was appointed to solicit funds met with very flattering succes and the necessary money with which to defray the expenses of purses and prizes is The program for the celebration is somewhat incomplete, but enough amusements have already Neither Bemidji or Girand Rapids are going to cele- brate this year, and the residents of those two places have agreed to join with Cass Lake in making the celebration herea noteworthy | one.” It is proposed to have a ball game between -the Bemidji and Fosston teams, and also a hose and other races to be par-| ticipated'in by the members of the ranning teams of the Grand Rapids, Bemidji and Cass Lake tire departmentsian Indiandance and pow-wow; boat races on the lake and other sports too numer- ous to mention.

The s h instituted at Quir- ing postoffi to discover the whereabouts of N. O. Dahl, of Crookston, and his daughter, Miss Aagot Dahl, of Quiring, has so0.far been without results and has developed absolutely nothing that will explain their mysterious disappearance. 0. C. Rood,aprominent Crooks- ton merchant, and C. C. Strabn- der, a_business man of that city, are in Bemidji, today returning to_their homes- from-a--trip-to Quiring. ~ Both are sons-in-law of Mr. Dahl.- They are at a loss to account for his disappearance, but incline to the belief that father and daughter have met with foul play. Both gentlemen declined to discuss the matter for publi- cation this morning. A. M. Bagley, of the Driving Association, has been investigat- grounds in thi the Fair Association and has in- formation to the effect that Mr. A. A.

The mystery of the new hat is still unexplained, however.
