1 { i IS SHORTY MURDERED Startling Theory That The Missing Frenchman Was Made Away With. SAID THAT HE KNEW ALTO- GETHER TO00 MUCH. Quiring People However Contend That Wesley Can Be Found When Wanted. One of the searchers who spent considerable time in the Quiring country investigating the D: murder and disappearance was in the city last night and in dis- cussing the tragedy which has shaken the entire state and which is the sole topic of conversation in the Quiring country, declared that it is his belief that the Frenchman named Wesley, but generally known as*“Shorty’ has been murdered. This gentle- man has gathered” enough evi- deunce to satisfy him that Shorty and one or two others were principals in the crime and that fearing Shorty, who is generally credited with being a desperate man, his co-conspirators have made away with him. Heis not prepared to produce tangible evidence at this time to support this theory and it can at present be regarded as nothing more than a supposition. Residents of the Quiring coun- try maintain that Shorty’s whereabouts are known and that he can be produced when- ever it is necoss’xry to do so.

MAKES FORMAL COMPLAINT BE- FORE THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. Thinks Six Whining Whelps Too Many For Any One Man To Stable Next His Neighbor. At the regular meeting of the village council last evening J. J. Trask appeared and entered for- mal complaint against the omni- present half dozen of bird dogs maintained by H. G. Hays at his residence on the Lake shore. Mr. Trask declared with some warmth that the dogs were a pestilential nuisance. Every dog has its day but Mr. Hays’ dogs have taken the nights too. There are six of them and at night they howl like sixty so that Mr. Trask and the neighbors have but a short shrift for sleeping. Mur. Trask is not disposed to object to all dogs atall times but a nocturnal chorus of six gets to be rather uninteresting in time; e. g, along aboutdaylight; in fact it makes Mr. Hays responsible for dark thoughts of doing mur- der which force themselves upon his neighbors at two a. m. when the canine chorus reaches its crescendo, All nights look alike to the dogs too, it seems—they cer- tainly sound just alike to the neighbors. Every dog has its own animal odor, also, and six dogs have enough to go around several blocks. To make sure that it is properly distributed, and that no one is slighted, Mr. Hays’ six pups cheerfully roam the entire neighborhood with untiring per- seryerance and extraordinary success. Wherefore Mr. Trask petitioned the council that Mr. Havs be requested to abate at least a half a dozen of said dogs in the interest quiet and asweeter smelling atmosphere. The city attorney ruled that the council was void of jurisdic- tion and that the dogs or their owner must be haled before a courtof jnst,ico FIRST CLASS Conways Commercial College Graduates its First Class— Institution Thriving. An institution in which Be- midji should take a gren,l. deal of satisfaction is Conway’s Com- mercial College. The college was established by Mr. Comvay last winter to give the young people of Bf‘mld]l and vicinity, who desired, a thorough business education. It has been a success from the start and the first class was graduated yesterday. No public exercises were held on account of smallness of the class but something of the sort will probably be arranged for future class. Misses May Lunney and Alice McCauley have completed the course of study, having received diplomas Monday morning, August 1. Miss Lunney has gone to her home at Cass Lake, where she will work at Steuow raphy until the fall term of school, when she will return to chld]l to complete her last year in High School. Miss McCauley is a Normal Graduate from Haskell Institute, Lawrence, Kansas, of 1902, and as a special honor to her for her endeavors to secure aCommercial education Mr. H. B. Peairs, sup- erintendent of the school has offered her the position as school stenographer at a salary of $350 per month. The following students will graduate the last of August: Mrs. P. H, Kermcdy, Cass Lake, commercial; Miss V. M. Cameron, Bemldp, commerci Miss Maude Jewelt, Bemld]x, commercial; Miss Helen Me- Carthy, Bemld]l, shorthand; Mr, Willie Naylor, Bemidji, short- hand. Indians to b: Present. One of the features at the old settlers meeting the last of the month will be a number of old Indians who will be present. The Indians live north of Red Lake and still wear their blankets and refuse toaccept any annuities from the government. They were here at the time Beltrami visited the county which now bears his name and still live the way they did at that time. J. W. Speelman, secretary of the asso- ciation, has sent word thatevery accomodation - for visitors to Buena Vista during the meeting will be granted.

Her Thirst for Liquor Has Led Her Gray Hairs Into Some Strange Places. No more pitiful sight could be than that of a gray headed wo- man, bowed under the weight of three score years, arrainged yes- terday before the bar of Justice Pendergast’s court at the city hall. The aged woman gave her name as Nellie Brown and ans wered to a charge of “drunk and disorderly conduct.” She was scarce able to answer, but begged to be given a home at the county jail. : The woman arrived with the excursionists Sunday and in the afternoon paraded the streets with a drunken escort. She claims that she is from Walker, but she evidently has no home and has been making a wretched hand to mouth living for no one knows how'long. Kven she her- self cannot tell where she came or where she is going. More out of pity for her un- fortunate condition than as pun- ishment she was given a sentence of ten days in the county jail and she in now confined there a piti- ful example of the depths to which a human being can fall. FUNERAL HELD Over Remains of N. 0. Dahl, The Homesteader Who Was Murdered Near Quiring. Yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock the funeral over the re- mains of N. O. Dahl, the victim of the Quiring tradegy, was held at Crookston at the Synod church, Rev. Salveson officiating. The church was crowded with friends and relatives of the de- ceased and the casket was buried beneatha wealth of floral tributes. The remains were interred in Oakdale cemetery in that city. The pall bearers were Messrs. Levi Steenerson, Dr. Holte, A. G. Anderson, A. M. Sieverson, I. N. Simmons and O. O. Christianson. HANG AUGUST 30 Governor Van Sant Declares That Friday Is no Day For Hangings. Governor Van Sant has set Tuesday August 30 as the day for the hanging of William Chou- nard convicted of wife murder at Cass Lake. The governor does not take kindly to the custom of making Friday hangman’s day. “I am opposed to the custom of fixing Friday as a day for the execution of a criminal,” Gov. Van Sant is reported to have said, “and in Chounard’s case I have selected some other day. In the popular mind Eriday is one of ominous things, and I think it should be discouraged.” BODY NOT FOUND Constant Search Fails to Revea Body of Joseph McGuire, Who Was Drowned Yesterday. Since the drowning of Joseph McGuire yesteld‘{y morning, a constant search has been kept up. Nothing has been found of the body and the search still continues. The water at the place of the accident and where the body is supposed to be is only a few feet deep, but itis thought that the river current has ca.nled the body away to some part of the lake. The place where the body sank has been dragged, but no trace has so far been discovered. Trouble Over Scale. Manager Richards and Super- intendent, Gould of the Crookston Lumber company and Superin- tendent Strachan of the Minne- sota & International Railroad company, accompanied by five scalers, left last night for Kelli- her, where they will adjust some differences regarding the scale of logs which ‘the railroad com- pany hauled to Bemidji for the Crookston people. Some ques- tion was raised as to the correct- ness of thescale oflogs which the M. & I. hauled for the lum- ber company, and it is expecfied that the par ad, TO MAKE PICKLES Prominent Bemidji Man Would Have Pickle Fac- tory in Bemidji. CLAIMS INDUSTRY WOULD MAKE MARKET FOR PRODUCE. Proposition Will Be Put Before Business Club At Its Next Meeting. “What Bemidji now needs is a pickle factory.”” These were the words which expressed the opin- ion of a prominent Bemidji busi- ness man today, and to illustrate the way in which an industry of this kind would pay he gave many reasons, and declared bhat at the next meeting of the busi- ness men’s club the matter would be brought up. The gentleman claims that with the five, ten or fifteen acre lots most farmers have cleared in the vicinity of Bemidji they could be making many times the amount they now derive, and at the same time provide a per- manent industry for Bemidji which would materially increase the number of wage earners in the city. Cabbage, cucumbers, onions, beans, peas and tomatoes thrive in Beltrami county, it is said, better than in any other part of the state, and with this advantage oyer other sections could raise pickles and put on the market any of the above vegetables cheaper than in other sections and in this way compete with the larger factories of this kind. The farmer who at present raises, on the small patch he has cleared up, enough vegetables to suppy his family needs besidesa few hundred bushels of potatoes to sell for maintaining his family during the long winters, would not be compelled to send his son to the Daicota harvest fields and and his daughters to cities for employment as menials if the factory was located here so that he would at all times have a mar- ket for all the vegetables he conld raise and obtain for them a good, round sum. Favoring the pro- ject it is also claimed that by finding a ready market for his pri oduce the farmer would be in- cited to clear up his land as quickly.as possible in order to en- gage in the raising of truck on a more extensive scale. At present, the gentleman says, logging companies consume the bulk of what vegetables are raised throughout the county, and when the timber is gone the market for produce is likewise gone. Inorder to prevent this, he would erect in Bemidji a large | factory for pickling sauer kraut, chow chow, onions and cucum- bers, and would can tomatoes, peas and beans. To establish an industry of this kind and place it upon a paying basis would per- haps require a few years, but when it is once established the benefit derived by Bemidji and in fact by every farmer in the county, would be many times greater than the expense and would last forever. These views, expressed by.a business man of Bemidji, will be brought before the next meeting of the business men’s clh and the action of that body will be awaited with interest.
