i i H MURDER THEORY Heap of Ashes I'ound in Close Proximity to Fournier’s Cabin Discloses Bones. THOUGHT THAT HUMAN BEING HAS BEEN CREMATED. Mysterious Disappcarance of “Shorty" Siill Puzzles Authorities. A story comes from Black- duck to the effect that while searching for the body of Aagot Dahl, Win. Belfry, F. Eddy and Dick McVey found a heap of ashes vear the cabin of Paul Fournier and when it was stirred up a number of bones, buttons from a mackinaw jacket and a vest buckle were discovered. They bear evidence of having gone through a hot fire. While it is not absolutely cer- tain that they are the ghastly remains of a human being, yet the presence of the bones with the other articles found gives rise to suspicion. From appear- ances it would seem that they are not the remains of a woman. However, they may be those of a man who either had a hand in the affair and *‘weakened,” or of one who knew too much concerning the murder and had to be done away with to'shield the perpe- trators of the crime. Thie mysterions disappearance of “Shorty” shortly after that of the is connected with the finding of the bones, as it is said e away with. EARLY BLAZE dahls, that he has been don Livery Barn, at Red Lake Falls, Burns at an Early Hour This Morning. At about three o’clock this morning the livery barn owned by J. Lalfavre was discovered to —beon fire and before the fire de- partment ceuld get it under con- trol the building and contents were a total loss. Severafhorses that were in the building at the time were saved. At the time of the fire a high wind caused the adjoining barn to catch and it was soon a total loss. The firemen did good work and succeeded in controling the flames. The lossis a total loss as the parties carried no insur- ance. It is supposed that the fire caught from the sparks of a pipe, the property of some Weary Willie, CROP OUTLOOK TOUCHED Conditions Generally Favorable Slot Machines in Local Saloons toa Good Crop for Northern : Minnesota. The crop outlook for northern Minnesota at present is quite en- couraging to the farmers and Relieyed Last Night by Smooth arafters, A couple of men who were noticed in the city yesterday for the first time worked a smooth with conditions favorable for twolgame on a number of slot ma- or three weeks more the eropschines in the city will be safely harvested. In Polk and Clearwater count ies crops are very favorable and with a week of good weather will see most of the grain ripened. The cool weather is favorable to wheat and it is filling nicely. Rust is almost an unknown quan- tity and is found only in the low lands. The harvesting of oats and barley has begun. rust is reported near Climax— Euclid has-every reason to re- joice. Norman county has not been quite as fortunate as Polk and prevalent in low lands and Some | while pushing down the After the hole had been bored in last night. Three saloons were visited, but the game was successful in only ona place, that of Thompson & Blocker, corner of Third street and Bemidji avenue, where they secured in the neighborhood of $20 out of one machine. While one of the men was play- ing the machine another of them bored a hole in its side, mean- lever. the machine a small wire was in- serted, with the aid of which they could make the number which they were playing turn up. A search for the men was in- the grain will erinkle when har-! stitated last night, but of no vested. to tifteen per cent will result from this cause. As other conditions | are favorable Norman county re- joices over good crops in general. | Kittson county is about ready toharvest a good crop, rust is an unknown quantity. The flax crop is late and not yet out of danger from frost, The harvest- ing of barley and oats has begun. Clay county rejoices over hav-| ing but little low land and conse- quently butlittle rust. The gen- eral condition of the crops are favorable to the farmer and! everything will be out of danger | in a very short time. ! In Red Lake county harvesting | has commenced but will not be- come general for about a week. Some wheat has been cut and! conservative estimates give an | ayerage yield of fifteen to twenty bushels. Crops promise better yield than for the past two years. Wheat is uneven, some fields| show rust and others do not. Grain ripens slowly and is well | filled. Marshall county looks forward to yield of about fifteen bushels per acre. Black rust has done some damage in the vicinity of Warren, and slight damage is re- ported from other sections of that county. In Beltrami county things are nearly as the farmers would wish, a good crop of hay has been cured and put away. The wheat and oat crop bids fair for a good yield, and the potato crop is promising, though a steady rain for a day or two would be bene- ficial to potatoes and other vege- tables. Dr. Marcum is entertaining! friends at a camping party at the | east side of the lake. A probable loss of ten avail. It is thought that they made their escape from the ci?y soon after making their haul. GOOD MEETING Ladies of M. E. Church Hold Quarterly Meeting and Com- mittees Report.
