! ! SEARCHING FOR DAHLS Spurred by Offer of Reward Several Parties Scour Woods. PARTY OF OLD TIMERS GOES OUT FROM BLACKDUCK. Great Interest Developed in Case Should Develope Some- thing Soon. The offer of $1,500 reward for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the man or, men who murdered N. O. Dahl and his daughter, Miss Aagot is having desired result. It is rousing a widespread inter- est, not only at the home but abroad in the case, and inde- pendent searching parties and private individuals are exhaust- ing every effort to capture the coveted reward. At no time since the case has been reported has there been a complete abandonment of the seach to recover the bodies. To clear up the mystery, their re- covery is almost imperative, It will be hard to prove murder until they are found, This morning a party of old time woodsmen headed by Thos. Hayden went out from Black- duck equipped to spend two weeks in the woods. They will devote their time exclusively to looking for the spot in which the bodies have been hidden or buried. Each day makes the search more difficult as time will add in its own way to the elimina- tion of every trace of a grave or hidding place. A very great deal of interest is being taken at Blackduck and throughout all of the northern part of the county and outside this section as well. The county attorney’s office is in constant touch with all the searching parties and the various influences that are working on the case. County Attorney Loud is highly pleased with the interest de- veloped and is quite confident that something will be developed soon that will clear up the whole affair, HOMESTEADS IT Matt Gannon Files a Homestead Entry On Land Including Townsite of Spooner. Matt Gannon, of Spooner, who is quite well known in this city and was a short time ago at the county jail on a charge of selling liquor illegally has filed a home- stead entry on eighty acres in- cluding the new townsite of| Spooner in the Rainy River coun- try. Mr. Gannon secured legal advice on the status of the town- site and was informed that he had a right to homestead the land and has proceeded accordingly. There will be a vast deal of litiga- tion between him and the town- site company as a result and as the case is without an exact par- alle] and there are some peculiar constructions of law inyolved de- velopments will be waited with deal of interest.

Both games were good and the attend- ance at the afternoon game was the largest of the present season. The Indians travel in a special car and carry their own band. Both games were played ina canvass enclosure at the old ball grounds, the band made a very thorough trip of the city just be- fore the game. The locals won the first game by a score of 2 and 1, and to McCamus be the credit. With two men out and two on bases in the first half of the ninth inning, the ball was hit to deep center a hard fielding chance and Bemidji's center fielder made one of the most sensational catches of the several he has made on the home grounds this season. Kilaney, the Sioux pitcher was something of a mys- tery. He allowed but one hit during the game and struck out fourteen men. Emerson was up for the locals and was up to his usual excellent form. The Sioux are “stickers’” bat connected with Emerson only four time safely. The night game was something of a novelty and was played by electric light. The home team were defeated by a score of 7 to 8. Hazen was in the box for the home team and did good work. Tne game was not as fast as the afternoon event but everybody enjoyed it. The attendance was small and the threatened rain of the early evening no doubt cur- tailed it considerably. Crops Looking Fine. Crop forecasts are now the order in almost every section of the country but there has been nothing on the Beltrami county situation up to the present time. The Pioneer has not been able to get anything authrative on the local situation but a drive through the country to Lake George yes- terday develops the fact that there are some very fine farms in that section of Beltrami county through which the road runs. About four miles south of this city is tiie farm of J. P. Duncalf, where there are fine fields of oats, and wheat, and a patch of healthy looking potatoes that oughttobringdividends. Farther south there are also some fine fields and the grain is looking very well. The local harvest is about fifteen days distant and the average of the small grain in Beltrami county this year will be much larger than last. Indians Look For Blueberries. The Indians have started on their annual pilgrimage to the blueberry fields and between this city and Lake George on the Park Rapids road there are sev- eral large parties camped. One of the largest arrived at Dinner Creek yesterday and expects to spend the remainder of the sea- son there. Another big party i camped near the Little Mississi- ppi and all along the road there are parties of Tudians. Theyare very much disappointed over the crop outlook and there will be but few berries harvested this season compared with former seasons. Coming to Bemdiji. Crookston Journal: James Dodds, the genial night clerk at the Crooksten who has at- tended to the wants of the cus- tomers at that popular hostelry during the past year, yesterday closed a deal for the lease of a large Bemidji hotel and will shortly remove to that city to take the active management of the business. Mr. Dodds has resigned at the Crookston and his many friends in the city »| will be pleased to learn of the deal whereby he becomes the proprietor of one of Bemidji’s leading hnstelries. Chinaman Paid The Fine. Anna Hurlbut, who has been a famillar figure in police court cir cles for some time past arrived at the Pendergast justice dispen- c|sary via the carriage and back door route shortly after nine o’clock this morning to plead toa charge of disorderly conduct. Judge Reynolds tined her $25 and costs last Wednesday on a simi- liar charge. A fine of $5 was im- posed this morni 1g. The woman has been employed at the Chinese restrurant and the celestial pro- prietor paid her fine this morning. Wanted Witt. Manager McNeil, of the Crooks- ton ball team, this morning made an effort to secure Harvey Witt, who has been pitching for the Bemidji team for the past two months. The Crookston team is badly crippled at present and farmed Witt to Bemidji when he came here. Wittis well pleased with tne treatment he has re- ceived here, is playing good ball and will finish out the season in Bemidji a fact his many friends will be pleased to learn. WHY WE ARE IN THE NINTH Interesting Bit of Political History Related By Anton Erickson. PALMY DAYS OF POLK COUNTY POPULISM RESPONSIBLE. Senator Grindeland, of Warren, and Senator Myron, of Ada Advocated Disposition. Anton Erickson, of Rosby, was a Bemidji visitor this morning and incidentally related a bit of interesting political history to the Pioneer. Mv. Erickson read with some interest a recent article in this paper in which it was stated there was some disposition to have Beltrami county put in the Sixth instead of the Ninth con gressional district. “I see you say,” said Mr. Erickson, ‘that no one seems to know just why Beltrami county was put in the Ninth congres- sional district. Well, I think I can tell youall about it. Senator Myron, of Ada, represented us in the state legislature, when Beltrami county was put in the Ninth congressional distriet. That was in the palmy days of Populism én Polk county and the country out that way and in the heat of the congressional cam- paigns Republicans’ votes were reckoned as carefully as ten dol- lar bills in a cleariog house. In those days it didn’t make much difference to us what district we were in; that was comparatively speaking a long time ago. “One day Senators Grindeland and Myron came down to visit us in Bemidji and the question arose as to vhat congressional district Beltrami county would be putin. At that time no one seemed to have a preference and the matter went by default. Senator Grindeland is now Judge Grindeland, of Wavren and judge of theFourteenth judicial district. The Messrs. Grindeland and Myron were talking over -the situation in a half joking way while here and someone asked th: question asto whether Bel trami county was going to be Democratic or Republican in“the campaign. He was told that the county would give a big Republi- can majority. “That settled the congressional district matter right away. They needed Republican votes -in the Ninth in those days and Senator Myron, when the legislature took up the matter suggested Bel- trami county as a Ninth district county and it was put in the Ninth. Idon’t know just what merit there is in the “proposed change to the Sixth district but T have explained to you how we happen to be in the Ninth,” CLERKS CHESTY Have Already Begun to Crow Over Victory They Have Yet to Win. The baseball game between the newspaper folk of the city and the retail clerks will occur tomor- row night at 7:30 o’clock. It will last for five innings and theclerks are already doing a lot of crow- ing but will not be_so chesty when the sun sinks behind the western horizon tomorrow night, Martin, of the News, will umpire and the printer people are in ex- cellent spirits. Lyons is being talked about as umpirve. Thisall comes from the clerks, however, and will be looked after in due time. There is much in an um- pire. The game promises to be very interesting, but this is ‘a family affair and there is noneed of the general public butting in and rooting against the printers. All those who root against the printers will be roasted in the three newspapers of the city. This is a fair warning and the various sporting editors have their instructions. There will be no bloodshed unless the clerks try to run things with too higl a hand. The names of the nine yonng men whohave the fortitude to go against the printers and their positions are: Mitchell, e; Hazen, p; Keihm, 1b; Naylor, 2b; Fleming, ss; Narveson, 3b; Cun- ningham, cf; Sprague, 1If; Geil rf; The printers will get out the following bunch and the attention of the bookmakers and betting public is carefully invited to the fact that McCamus and Witt are printers: Witt, p; Hitchcock, 1b; Kaiser, 2b; Wilm, ss; Carlson, “The Swede,” 8b; Johnson, 1f; McCamus, cf; Solberg, “Chip- munk,” rf; Moodie, c¢; The printers will have rehearsal this evening. There is no lever so powerful as plain and simple facts—Mark’s Lung .Balsam will cure your]‘ cough, 7 HAD AN OUTING Pioneer Composing Room Force Fishes For Black Bass At Lake George. The Pioneer composing room force yesterday enjoyod an out- ing at Lake George, one of the most beautiful and popular of Northern Minnesota summer resorts. The primary object of the trip was to catch the biggest string of black bass which has eyer been brought to this city from Lake George and it was an unqualified failure. The party captured four nice bass and at the counting room this morning it'was found that they had cost just four dollars apiece. It is not the fault of Lake George, howeyer, that the trip was not attended with better success. The lake is famous through the entire Northwest as one of the best bass lakes in the country. The conditions yester- day were unfavorable for fishing, but some fine strings were taken by fisherman who understood the business and were not novices like the Pioneer crowd. The party camped on Payne Lake and are under obliga- tions to Landlord Rhodes, of the Niawa hotel and other of the good people at Lake George for a very pleasant outing, and a look at the ball game between Kabe- kona and Lake George, Fred Carlson was the “official chef and Evan Carson oversaw the general arrangements. Carlson is in disrepute with the entire bunch today as a result and hereafter when the Pioneer crowd goes off on a junket he will be carefully avoided. The thanksof the crowd is due to Frank Solberg for financing the venture. Dedicated Church. Presiding Elder Dodds, of the | Crookston district, was at Thief | * River Falls yesterday to dedicate or reopen the Methodist church which had to be moved from the Soo line right of way and placed upon a different location. The church received$1,300 for moving and expended in all in the opera- tion and in repairing and refitting the edifice $2,400 leaving a deficit of 1,100 which will be raised, it is thought, Rev. Dodds, who is well known for his ability to raise money for church purposes will stir- the matter and it is hoped that the property will be {'{reed from incumbrance of any ind. Pine Tree Protests. The board of equalization did not finish its session Saturday afternoon as expected and has been in session all of today. W. H. Bird, of Little Falls, who is in the city to attend the meeting is directly responsible. Mr. Bird on behalf of his company objects to the valuation on some pine as fixed by the board at $3 per thousand and presented some very forceful argument: for a re- duction. Besides this there were a number of other small matters. Let Contract Tonight. The city council will tonight let the contract for the new city pumping station.

John- son, an action to set aside a mort- gage subbmitted some time ago. The decision is for the plaintiff, who was represented by Attor- ney Henry Funkley, of Black- duck. Woodmen Danced. The Modern Woodmen lodge at Lake George gave a dance at the pavillion last Saturday night which was a very successful af- fair. Music was furnished by Potter’s orchestra and there was a big attendance from the sur- rounding country. A number of Bemidji people attended. Lake George and Kabekona. Lake George and Kabekona played ball at the Lake George grounds yesterday. teams are among the best in that section of the country and the game was highly interesting throughout and was won by Lake George. = Why balance on the verge of consumption when Mark’s Lung Balsam will cure. e New bids will be submitted and the contract will be let tonight as it is imperative that the new plant physician at Thief River Falls has decided to locate The two - AT THE i BAZAAR STORE Although ‘times’ are dull and everyone is complaining of poor business, there is a steady “hum” of business at the “BAZAAR Store.
