EXAMINATION TOMORROW Preliminary Examination of Caldwell and Fournier, Dahl Suspects. EVIDENCE IS LARGELY CIR- CUMSTANTIAL. Probabilities Are That Both Will Be Acquitted, as Evidence Is Very Slim. The preliminary examination of Kugene Caldwell and Paul Fournier, who are held at the county jail as suspects in the Dahl tragedy, will occur tomor- row morning at 10 o’clock before Judge Reynolds. The evidence against the men is largely circumstantial, and it is doubtful whether they can be held to the fall term of district court. Although the hunt for Miss Dahl has been kept up in- cessantly ever since her disap- pearancs, no new evidence has been adduced, and nothing more has been found that would serve as further evidence against Cald- well and Fournier, One of the things which will be brought against Caldwell will be the finding of the Dahl body by him shortly after the reward for finding the same was raised, as it is said that he made the re- mark to some one in Blackduck that should the reward be raised to $1000 he would locate the body. This however, is disputed and its truth will not be known uatil after the preliminary ex- amination tomorrow. Every effort has been made by the officers, and every nook and corner in the neighborhood of the Dahl cabins near Quiring have been searched in attempt- ing to find some clue that would lead to the tinding of the girl’s body and the apprehension of the person or persons who know and will divuge postitive informa- tion as to the perpetrators of the crime. Nothing has resulted however, and beyond the slight circumstantirl evidence upon which Fournier and Caldwell are being held, not the least bit of information has developed. Even detectives who have had years of experience in hunting down criminals have been employed, but have given it up. That an atrocious crime has been committed there is no doubt here in the minds of the officers, and in fact the body of the elder Dahl showed this much as a bullet hole was found in his skull. Butas to who has had a hand in the tragedy or whether Miss Dahl is dead or has been deported to som: remote place and is being beld a prisoner, allis merely con-| jecture. The disappearance of} *Shorty’’ also puzzles the ofticers, : All trace of him has been lost, and an effortis being made to! locate him, although it is not| known that he either had a hand in the wmurder orknows any- thing about it, but his disappear- ance is coupled with the affair. As to what the examination to- morrow will bring forth, no one knows, but it is thought even by the officers that the men under suspicion connot be held. GOOD TIME Presbyterian Sunday School Pic- nic at Diamond . Point Largely Attended. The picnic given at Diamond Point yesterday afternoon by the members of the Presbyterian Sunday school of the city was one of the best things of the kind ever given in the city and a large number of people attended. Many loads of people were driven to the delightful camping ground, where aspread awaited them. The lunch was served on table cloths spread upon the ground. AT BRAINERD Local Base Ball Club Play in That City Saturday and Sunday. The Bemidji base ball team goes to Brainerd Saturday morn- ing to play two games with the Brainerd bunch, one on Saturday and the other on Sunday. In two games between the two teams in this city each took one. A large following of Bemidji rooters will accompany the bunch and some talk of running an ex- cursion to Brainerd for the event.

HUNTING Medric Perrault of Farley COMPLETELY DISGUISED, HE Davenport. HIS WIFE at Crookston in Search Of His Frau. MAKES DILIGENT WIFE HUNT. His Suspicions Aroused and He Is Trying to Drop in on Her Unawares. Crookston Times; Medric Perrault, who is the proprietor of a saloon at Farley arrived in the city last evening with his son- in-law, Ed Bennett of the same place, the two driving over land. Bennett is headed for North Dakota with five horses looking for work, and Perrault, com- pletely disguised, is looking for his wife of \\hom he is suspic- ious. Perrault, usually a very care- ful dresser, has his mustache shaved off and is dressed in over- alls, a soft shirt that has seen its best days, and a wide brimmed and rather aged looking straw hat. He spent the night here and today proceded west and stated that he would go as far as Grand Forks at least in search of his wife. She is quite well known here, and advertises as a fortune teller and also sell a prescription which she says will kill tape and asks the round sum bottle for it. She has been here several times, ‘and had rooms once in the Vine block where she met her customers. Perrault stated that he be- lieved she was being followed about by a man from Bemidji and he expects to surprise the two together there before he gives up his search. It had been learned that the woman was here about two weeks ago, and that a heavy set man was seen in her company. A friend of the woman stated to- day that when they left this city, it was to make the towns along Halstad line, but it is not known exactly where they are at pres- ent, or whether they "are in the same town or not. Perrault claims that he has been trying to get a divorce for some time past, and is simply after evidence now upon which to start another suit, and itis not his purpose to start any prosecution no matter what con- dition of affairs he happens to discover.

Desire Stumpage Money Before Their Allotments For Land Near Red Lake. Congressman Steenerson was sought yesterday by two Red Lake reservation Indians who came down for the purpose of getting pointers on various mat- ters which will concern the Indians during the next few weeks. Mr. Steenerson being out Bid Je Gah Bow the elder of the twain, left a letter with Fred Dennis, Mr. Steenerson’s secre- tary, which runs as follows and explains the desires of the Red men in connection with their stumpage pay: Hon. H. Steenerson, Crookston, Minn. I wish to tell you what the Indians at this lake hope to ob- tain from you. You know that we look to you for counsel and assistance. I wish that the bal- ance of the money due us for stumpage from last spring be paid to us before the paymenb from the sale of the land down the river. same mess with Indians not be- longing on this reservation. I| also wish that we receive our |¥ payments in cash, for when we have our checks exchanged it|% often happens good at figures, Also we have not yet succeeded in having|* struck from our payrolls such names as do not belong there. The Indian agent said he could not blot out those names, but only the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, I wish that you would tell me things definitely. Also the Indians wish to know how much money has already been collected from the sale of the land. The young men across the lake had almost done some- thing rash. They had heard a rumor that all the pine on thn point across the lake was to be cut down, This, however, was not true, but only the fallen tim- ber was to be cut, with the con- sent of the Indians. Now accord- ing to your knowledge of these matters. Thatis what I have to say to you, the purpose for which I came to see you. Yct one thing on the south side of our reservation it seems te us the lumbermen have overstepped the boundary and cut a consider- able amount of timber inside of the reservation, but we have not yet been able to have the authori- ties investigate the affair care- fully, though it happened some years ago. Bid Je Gah Bow. P.S.—I had this written so that the letter would serve as my interpreter. WILL NOT APPEAL All Hopes of Saving Neck of Chou- nard Is Said to Have Been Abandoned.
