O: Dahl and his danghter, Miss Aagot, who have disappeared from sheir home: stead near Quiring quite as com- pletely as if the earth had opened up and swallowed them. Another thorough —and ex- haustive search of the surround- ing country has just beenbrought toan end and has developed ab- solutely nothing new. ~ During all of the present weck searching parties have been in the woods. They have scoured the entire country even more carefully trn before, but the absolutely no trace of the missing man and his daughter, The relatives of the unfortu- nate pair now believe them' dead and are confident thaBthey were murdered and the bodies hidden. No other fate would admit of such a complete and mystifying silence as has attended their dis- appearance. For - two months none of their relatives have heard a word. from them. Had they left the country withoutadvising theZneighbors tor a visit.at some distant ‘point they would surely have notitied their relatives long hefore this or spoken of their in- tentions in letters written shortly before their disappearance. Relatives have decided to offer a reward and will pay §250 for the recovery of the bodies or $200 ‘for any information that will lead up to their discovery or the loca- tion of the couple, if living. The search will not be aband- oned yet. Next weelt a party of experienced woodsmen wili go out’ prepared especially for the search.

INDICATIONS FOR LARGEST AT- TENDANCE OF SEASON. Home Team Strenghtened And Should Wi(l If It Plays the Game. Local fandom is agog today over the Crookston-Bemidji ball game which occurs ab the fair grounds tomorrow afterncon. It will be the first time the vejuve- nated-home team has been up against ahy real talent and will show it up for what it is really worth in fast company. The Crookston team will ar- rive at noon tomorrow and the game will occur at 3:30. “Doc” Rutledge, of Cass Lake, will um- pire and the indications are that the atgendance at the game will Be the largest of the present sea- son. The weather man promises @ood weather tomorrow although the forecaste says warm. The Crookston team is at the foot of the percentage column -in the Northern league, but has been aying very fast ball neverthe- s. 1t will line-up as follows tomorrow: Breyette, shortstop; Schiler, second. base; Carlyle, center field; Novacek, right field; Hoffmeister, left field; Heary, catcher; Burton, first base; Hoff- man, third base; Martin, pitcher. A number of the team are quite well known in this city and were, in Northern league com- pany last year. Breyette, the shortstop is one of the fastest in the league. The line-up of the home team will be as follows: Witt, pitcher; Ludwig, catcher; Beuthien, first base; Brayton, second base, Stewart, shortstop, Neelan, third base; Finn, left field; McCamus, center—field; - Skoogsberg, right field. The betting will probably favor Crookston but there are many who believe that if the home team plays the game of which it is capable it can win handily. The fans all have confidence in Witt, but he must have support in tomorrow's game and the banch should all hit if they hope to wif. The rooting promises to be exceptionally “eapable and there will be a full attendance of this contingent to help the home team through. Martin, who will pitch for Crookston tomorrow is very clever and is one of Mana- ger Lycan’s best men. Ex-Congressman Eddy Addresses a Meeting at City Hall Last Night.

ULTIMATE RESULT. Land Commissioner Holds Before Entry Can Be Made Business Must Be Carried On. Washington, June 17.—Acting Land Commissioner Fimple has rendered a decision in the long- discussed Richards, Cass county, townsite case. FHe holds that Judge M, A. Spooner, -district judge, who made application for the—townsite people, is not the properly-constituted official, not- withstairding the statute of Min- nesota and the decisionof the su- preme court of that state state to the effect that a district judge exercises the same function .as a county judge. Commissioner Iimplerules that the federal stat- utes must prevail and that wheve a townsite is entitled in (rust by a judge he must have probate jurisdiction. He does not deny the equities of the Richards peo ple, but declares they must com- ply strictly with the terms of the law. He further: decides, in consid- ering aftidavits filed by the Rich- ards residents, that before their entry can beflallowed it must be shown that businessis carried on and actual bona fide residence es- tablished. Judge Fimpie states that he has gone no further in his decision and has not- taken cog- nizance of any proceedings sequent to the hearing before Cass Lake land office -on Dec. 30, when the Richards application was allowed, Commissioner Fim- ple takes issue with the local of- ficers in passing upon the proof submitted. Today several affadavits were filed by Judge Matthews, counsel for the Richards people, showing that a hoteland several stores are in operation,there. Speak- ing of the effect of the decision, Judge Matthews said: “It is simply a legal question as to the authority of Judge Spooner and can in no way defeat the ultimate result. The case will be pre- sented fully to secretary Hitch- cock ona motion for review.” The townsite of Richards was occupied last October and has had—rather a stormy history. Major Scott. acting Indian agent, raised the point that the town- site—boomers—had-no, right to occupy the lands, and the for- estry bureau raised the point that the townsite wa: in the for- esboreserve ¢ lished under the Morris act. Major Scott with the aid of Indian police, arrested twenty citizens of Richards but pending the outcome of this pro ceeding Secretary Hitcheock, on Dec. 8, decided that the land occupied was subject to townsite settlement under the provisions of the act of 1902, extending the provisions of the general town- site act to the ceded Chippewa land in Minnesota.

SHE KNEW THEM ALL Interesting’ Incident Con- nected With Removal Of Indian Dead Recently. GRAVES-1DENTIFIED-BY AGED./@ CHIPPEWA SQUAW. Remarkable Memory of an Indian Woman Who Assisted in Re- moval of Dead Bodies. The contracts for the removal of the dead Indians on the eleven ceded townships in the Red Lake reservation has been-awarded by Col. Downs. * The dead Indians who were members of the Catho- lic church—abount ~20—will —be buried in the Catholic cemetery at the Red Lake agency, and the others will ‘be buried at a suit- able point on- the banks-of the Red j reser Downs has a dians, but it is thought. that there will be at least 100_bodies to:ba remoyed. One of the conditi the Indians relinquished posses- on of the “lleven Towns” was that tlic dead should be remoyed. I'he contract was let to Joseph DuChamp, who receives $14,50 for each body. Many grewsome ights meet the gaze as the grayes are opencd, Just how long the spot on the Red Lake reseryation known as Squaws’ point has been used as a burial grbund nobody knows, but it'is iid Indians were buried there over a hundred years ago. In the more recent burials boxes were mains, but in the old grayes the wasted skeletons are found wrap- ped in birch bark, and in the graves of all is usually found pipes, beads, knives, spoons and trinkets of various kinds, articles which they will nced on their long journey to the happy hunt- ing grounds, and in the little] boxes or houses that cover the oravea quantity of food is' also left-to supply them on the way. It is stipulated in the contract that the bodies are to be rein- terred in as near the same posi- tion and inthe same order as they are found. They are buried in groups and families.” An old squaw is on the ground identify- ing the graves and she must have a remarkable memory, for as the bodies are taken out she gives a name and a is kept. The old woman, ¢ sits there con- tentedly smoking her pipe, sur- rounded by other Indians, tells to those about her of some: good trait or brave deed of the dead man when in life. the graves was taken the skele ton of an old squaw who died twenty-five yo: y at the ripe old age of 106 years, and “the, old woman who is identifying the araves told the interpreter that when alive she broke her leg and was lame, and sure enough when the bones were shoveled out into arude coffin it could be plainly seen that the shin bone had béen broken and had knit together again. Mr. DuChamp said there were| about 125 bodies to be removed,’ seventoen of which wero-of the Catholic faith in-their lifetime, and these are taken to the agency for burial in the cemetery there, while theother bodies are laid away on the diminished reserva- tion, on a spot as like Squaws’ point as possible, the ame distance from the riveras and the little houses that covered the graves are put backover them in their new rest Brainerd Police Pinch a Man Wanted In This City For Burglary. ms, wanted in this city and jail breals:- ing, was ad by Chief of 1o lice Hurly at Brainerd last night.
