TURN DOWN PROPOSITION City Council Does Not Feel Able to Contribute to Fair Association. MAY HOLD ANOTHER MEETING TO RECONSIDER. County Offered $300 if City Would Come in With Half That Amount. The committee of the Beltrami County Fair association which had been appointed to ask a con- tribution from the city council to- ward promoting a county fair i this city the coming fall was dis- ppomted at the special meeting of the city council last night. The reason given by the cnunml is that at present the expenses of the city are large and the council cannot see its way clear to meet the obligations already con- tracted. The meeting of the council was held last night and at the same time the county com- missioners held a session at the court house and instructed the county auditor to draw up a war- rant in the sum of $500 as soon 5 a for as the city council should p: resolution contributing $25 fair purposes. Both meetings were held in ignorance of the other, and it is probable that. after learning of the proposition of the county commissioners, enough pressure may be brought to bear upon the members of the council to impel them to reconsider their actions of last night and rescind the resolution turning down the fair proposition. It is estimated by the council that the expenses for running the city up to Jan. 1, 1903, will be $11,910. The revenue forth- coming up to that time is esti- mated at $11,700. Thus it will be seen that the city will be in debt at the beginning of the year 1905 in the neighborhood of $200. Added to this indebted- ness is a sum of §500 which the treasurer of the council has over drawn at the bank, making a total indebtedness of $710. This includes the interest on outstanding orders, which draw seven per cent, and the five per cent interest upon the village bonds. The council has taken up all outstanding orders up to the middle of July the present year, but on accouut of the building of a $700 pump house, the purchase of a $500 pump and the digging of four welis a hundred feet peep, orders have ot been taken up since that time. There are orders in the sum of $4000 outstanding at present, and the council fig- ures that this amount may be cleared up between Jan. 1 and March 1, 1905, if no additional expense is added. The figures given of tihe running expenses of the village are with the understanding that all the saloons now operating in the city will take out new licenses as they expire. Unless THE LACE STORY Fournier Says That Lace Came| to His Cabin Wrapped Around Butter. Paul Fournier, at whose cabin a small piece of lace was found which is thought by the authori- ties as being yaluable evidence to be used against Fournier at his hearing Aug. 18, says that the piece of garment was brought to his cabin on a piece of cloth wrapped around some butter that he had purchased from a neighbor. His story can not be accepted as true, however, until after the preliminary hearing, when it is expected that inter- esting developments will be brought forth. NEW STRUCTURE New School House For District No. 92 to Be Built at Once. | F.J. Baxter and J. Dodge, clerk and treasurer of the re- cently organized school district] north of Solway are Bemidji visitors today. The district has recently issued bonds in the sum | of $1,000.

DEER NUMEROUS Farmers in Beltrami County| Complain to Game Commis- sion of Deer Trepasses. Deer are destroying the vege-j tables of many farmers in Bel- I tramicounty and other counties| of Northern anesum, accord- ing to reports in St. -Paul by the game and fish commission. One| farmer complains that the deer persist in eating his vegetables and says that all his attempts to drive them away have been of no avail, and he has appealed to Executive Agent S. I'. Fullerton | of the state game and tish com- mission for authority to kill the offending creatures. There is considerable specula- tion among attorneys whether a farmer would be justified in kill- ing a deer out of season without| the permission of the state game and fish commission. They can secure no damages from the state for trespasses by the ani- mals and the law plainly states that no deer may be killed except between Nov. 10 and 30. Some Attorneys say, however, that the deer are property of the state and held in trust by the state| and the eating of the farmer’s vegetables is in the nature of al spass and that they are justi- d in killing them, |GETS AWAY WITH GEMS Girl Enchantress Meets Man Who Buys Dresses and Diamonds For Her. SHE SLIPS AWAY AND LEAVES IRATE *“‘SUCKER.” Man Wished to Meet Her and Upon First Acquaintance Se- cured Gems For Her. A prominent man of Bemidji recently had an experience with one of the fair sex which ought to hold him for a while, as the re- sult of a short acquaintance with a girl whoscemed to him a ‘veri- table drecam’,he is shy about $800 but has had enough experience out of theaffair to last an ordin- ary man a lifetime. The gentleman who is the vic tim of the affair is employed in a saw mill in the city. A short time ago he first saw a young lady on the street and expressed a desire to become acquainted ! with her. His wish was fulfilled when he and the girl happened to be in a stovein- the city atthe same time. The young lady was Lab the time looking at a diamond in the store and he asked herif she liked it. She replied in the affirmative and he told her to put it on. He bought her another gem at the same time, the two being valued at $200. They then left the store together. A few days later it was re- ported in the city that the girl had left, and this was found to be the case upon in igation. A thorough secarch was made for her, but she could not be located. | She also departed with a number of very fine silk dresses which the gentleman had purchased for her. The young lady’s home is at Grand Rapids, Wis., and it is thought that she went there. The gentleman who was taken in feels very irate about the matter, but will not prosecute "muuch for the missing girl. He w ,drop the matter, but will prob- jably know better next time.
