SUSPECTS ARRAIGNED Caldwell and Fournie, Held For Dahl Murder Have Arraignment. PRELIMINARY HEARING SET FOR AUGUST 18. Little Evidence of a Substantial Nature is Developed Against Either Man. Eugene Caldwell and Paul Fournie, held for the murder of N. O. Dahlhad a preliminary ar- raignment before Judge Rey- nolds yesterday afternoon. The hearings were continued until August 18. Bailey and MecDon- ald haye been retained as attor- neys for Fournie. Fonrnie was brought from the county jail shortly after four o’clock. He is a man of slight stature and very ordinary appearance and seemed to be in the best of spirits. After the usual form had gone through he chatted pleasantly with seyeral acquaintances in the court room and accompanied Sheriff Bailey back to the jail. He was not handcuffed, and as his appear- ance in the court was not ex- pected but few people saw him on his way to the court room or returning. Immediately upon his return Caldwell was brought down. Caldwell is quite another type from Fournie. He does not take the matter with the appar- ent good grace manifested by the Frenchman and had little to say, in contrast to his conduct after est and before. The fixing of the date of hear- ing as late as August 18 was deemed necessary by County Attorney Loud. There is little evidence of a substantial nature against either man on which to proceed. In the mean time some- thing may be developed that will enable the state to present a more positive case at the time of the hearing. The evidence so farat hand is for the most part circumstantial. The general opinion seems to be that Caldwell is innocent of any real connection with the crime. Hehas told any number of conflicting stories, however, and if he consents to talk and to tell the truth it is believed that he can give testimony which will be sufticient to clear up the whole affair. Fournie is close mouthed and very shrewd and evidently realizes that he has all the best of the situation as it stands up to the present time. Closer investigation develops the fact that the crime for which he did time in the state peniten- tiary was grand larceny com- mitted in Ihsca county. He was arrested after a running fight in which he emptied his gun at the sheriff’s posse, convicted and went to Stillwater for five years. He was a good prisoner and was paroied after three years had been served. The parole expired in 1901, 1 There is still no news from the searching parties in the Quiring country, who are looking for PRINCESS Grocery Co. M. E. CARSON, Manager.

The following communication elf explanatory and concerns a recent news item printed in the Pioneer: Fosston, Minn., July 26, '04. Ep1ror BEMIDJII PIONEER. Dear Sir:—I noticed in a re- cent issue of your valuable paper an article headed “Fisk won a Contest” which was very mis- leading. Attorney Fisk was en- gaged by me to handle this con- test case referred to but was only retained by me a day and a half after which I engaged Attorney H. J. Loud who had all the re- sponsibility and carried the case through the different courts sue- cessfully. Mr. Loud worked very faithfully and deserves all the credit for winning this case for me. Respectfully F. P. McIn Appeal Will.Be Taken. The jory in the LeFitte-Stoner case, involving the transfer of property and which through a long term of litigation has become famous yesterday returned a verdict for LeFitte in the United States district court at Duluth. The case was one of the hardest fought legal battles which has ever come before the U. S. dis- trict court in this district and the latest decision makes a vie- tory each for the defendant and plantiff, it having come to trial several times. Mr. Stoner will NEY. States circuit court of appeals which will meet in St. Paul or Denver some time next January. Proves Up On Homestead. Bersvend O. Roen, of Buzzle town, held at the county jail on a charge of killing Ole E. Bakken during a drunken row some time ago, today saw the outside of the county jail walls for the first time in six weeks, when he wa taken to Cass Lake by Sheriff Bailey, to make a final proof on his homestead in Buzzle town. Roenis a very model prisoner. The charge against him will be manslaughter. Proof was per- fected on the hamestead this afternoon. Roen’s family will thus be enable to perfect a title on the land in the event he goes to prison for the killing of Bak- ken. Shutelt, Not Benson. Henry Shufelt, of McHenry county, North Dakota, asks the Pioneer to make a correction. A short time ago the paper printed a story concerning the accidental shooting of a woman on the M. & I. passenger and the woman’s name was given as Benson. Mr. Schufelt requests the publication of the following announcement: “Married at the home of the bride’ <p'u ents in Bemidji, Minn., March 2, 1903, Henry L.

GRAND FORKS AND FARGO BALL GAME DECLARED OFF. Special Trains From St. Cloud and Larimore Will Arrive Tomorrow Noon. With favorable weather Be- midji should be hostess for at least six thousand people tomor- row, when two of the largest ex- cursions which have ever come to this ‘city will arrive over the Great Northern from St. Cloud and Larimore. The trains will arrive in this city shortly after noon and each is expected to briug fully three thousand people. They will be accompanied by several bands ind the afternoon will be spent zight seeing about the city en- joying the amusement possibili- ties of Lakes Bemidji and Irving. Both excursions have been liber- ally advertised and come at a season of the year when they should draw well from their re- spective territories, Many of the patrons of tomorrow’s event have visited Bemidji before and are well familiar with Bemidji and the natural inducements it offers for a day’s outing on a trip of this kind. Grand TForks and Crookston people are expected to be the heayiest patrons of the ex- cursion from the west and Wa- dena and the southline town be- low it will probably bring the bulk of the visitors from the south. There will also be large attendanees from Cass Lake and Walker but local events will cur- tail the patronage from Park Rapids, Akeley and several other towns on the line. The chief feature of amuse- ment will be the .ball game be- tween Bemidji and Melrose. The Melrose team with Bemidji en- joys the distinction of being one of the two teams who have de- feated the fast Sauk Center team during the present summer. The me will be called promptly at 350 o’clock. The home team will be the same as on the Fourth of July at Cass Lake with the ex- ception of the fact that Roy, who has an injured hand will be out. Finn will catch and the vacancy onthe team will be filled by George Bongo, who is a brother of she.Bongo now playing on the team and is said to be well able to deliver the goods. The Grand Forks-Fargo game advertised for the excursion has been called off. Both teanis are about ready to disband and as they have made no arrangements for the grounds it is improbable that |hov will come for the game as advertised. Returning the excursion trains will leave Lhiq city at o’clock. Married at Duluth. The announcement of the mar- riage of Wm.
