e ¢ i ey W0 ARE HELD Eugene Caldwell and Paul Four- nier Must Explain Myster- ious Actions. Search for Body of Miss Dahl Still Continues Without Any Result Sheriff Bailey, County Attor- ney Loud and Deputy Coroner Marcum returned this morning ! from Quiring, where the body of N. O. Dahl was identified by the farmers who live near there. Two men were arrested for the killing and will be held at the county jail until after the inquest, which will probabyy occur tomor- row, when they will be asked to explain several things which have caused suspicion to fall up- on them as being participants in one of the most atrocious crimes ever committed in northern Minnesota. Their names are Paul Fournier and Eugene Cald- well. Upon the arrival of the officers at the place where Dahl was buried the earth around the body was dug away, but no examina- tion of the body When found the murdered man had on a pair of black overalls, mackinaw jacket, white woolen socks and rubbers. in the side of the head indicated that he had been struck withan ax or some other heavy instru- ment. The top of the skull was almost severed from the lower part of the head and when the body was removed pieces of the skull dropped off. The body was -ina bad state of decomposition, and will be removed to this city by team. It will arrive here some time tonight. No trouble was experienced by the officers while arresting the men, although it is known that Fournier has served a term at Stillwater, and it was expected that he would resist arrest. A number of men are engaged in searching for the body of the girl, Aagot, whom itis believed is buried under another stump The men of the searchiny party have a team and a stump puller and are searching under every stump in the neighborhood. While the evidence upon which the two men are held to await the action of the coroner’s inquest is largely circumstantial, it points very strongly toward their im- plication in the tragedy, or that they have knowledge of the real criminals which they do not wish to divulge, It is said that Cald- well made the statement toa citizen at Blackduck that should a reward of $1,000 be offered for the recovery of the bodies he would show the officers to the place of concealment, and this, connected with the fact that almost immediately after the reward for the recovery of the PRINCESS Grocery Co.

The Great Northern has put on such a train from the north country and it is figured that such a train would be a profitable change. The special will return some time tonight.

The “Has Beens,” a base ball organization composed of the busini men of the city, will play agame with the regular team tonight at the old grounds, Emerson and Roy will do the battery work for the new bunch, regular team will be tery.

C. Sullivan. A citizen of Ripple who was in the city a few days ago made the statement that he was confident that he could name the murdever of J. C. Sullivan, who mysteri- ously disappeared from Black- duck last fall. The Pioneer is not in a position at present to give out the name of the gentle- man who makes the assertion, but it can be said that the story he tells is a very lucid one and is taken for much more than the other stories which have been circulated by those who claimed they knew, and which, after they had been traced out by the county authorities, came to naught. The gentleman from Ripple even stated that Sullivan had been killed with an ax and that the perpetrator of the crime, whose name he gave, is at present in South America, where he went shortly after the disappearance of Sullivan. The proper authorities will trace the story out, as they are of the opinion that the man whose name is given is entirely capable of committing the crime for the amount of money Sulliyan had in his possession when he disap- peared from Blackducl. The arrest of the man whois now in South- America would be rather difficult, but should suffi- cient evidence be secured to hold the man for trial, every effort to cause his arrest will be made by the county authorities. HOSPITAL IS GOOD Sanitarium at Walker Considered Best Thing Aitempteed for Consumptives. According to Dr. H. Long- street Taylor, of St. Paul, who lectured before the guarterly meeting of the Red River Valley mediacal society Tuesday even- ing in Crookston, the establish- ment of the state Sanitarium for tuberculosis will be one of the most importang steps toward the cure and prevention of the dreaded consumption ever un- dertaken by the state of Minne- sota and m factany state of the central west. The site which has already been secured is amid the pines, the aroma from whica has such a soothing effect upon consumption in all stages, the air is fresh, pure and uncontami- nated and the attitude is at the right .level for the proper care of all stages of consumption. The state has expended a con- siderable sum of money upon the work already and has so far only secured the site. The Sanitarium commission appointed several years ago, visited all the leading cities of the country, mspected all of the Sanitariums for con- sumption in the country and ob- tained data and figures for the use 6f architects in the design- ing of the Minnesota institution, Dr. Longstrest Taylor is one of the foremost physicians in the state and has a thorough know- ledge of tuberculosis. No Poor Teachers. The present school board has decided-that hereafter no teach- ers will be employed in the schools of Bemidji who are not supplied with a bona fide second grade certificate. While not re llecting upon the ability of any of the teachers who have been employed heretofore, the board is of the opinion that to secure the most efficiency it is necessary to proyide the schools with teach- ers who are provided with at least second grade certificates, and in some of the higher rooms with first grade certificates.
