| { BACK WITH THE BODY County Authorities Return From Quiring With Miss Dahl’s Remains. BODY DESTITUTE OF FLESH IDENTIFIED BY CLOTHING. Various Theoriesin Regard to the Manner in Which Miss Dahl Met her Death. - Dr. Marcum, deputy coroner, Sheriff Bailey and County Attor- ney Loud, with Messrs. Stran- der and Rood returned this morning from the vicinity of Quiring where they went to view the remains supposed to be those of Miss Dahl. The body was found ina slough, covered only by afew top branches of a tall tree which had fallen across the slough. No doubt exists that the remains are those of Miss Dahl although the |lapse of time and the exposure to the elements have almost entirely removed the flesh from the bones and nothing but the skeleton re- mained inside the clothing. The clothing is identified as that of Miss Dahl’s, a ring krown to be hers was found on one finger and the hair still remained upon the head. Miss Dahl was clothed in an ordinary house dress and wore overshoes, a cloak and a Tan O’Shanter. She was dres- sed as one would naturally be in April for going a short distance or upon an ordinary errand in the immediate yicinity. Miss Dahl lay as if she had fallen forward while running, her hands being stretched back and the left side of her face turned upward. One leg, the left, was entirely missing from the body but the foot and bones to the knee were later found some 150 feetaway. There was a good sized hole through the clothing in the chest and the skull was fractured. J After the remains were viewed by the coroner they were placed in one of the rigs and brought to Tenstrike whence they were brought to Bemidji this morning by team. The story told by Thomas Dooher who found the body is to the effect that he was mowing and raking in the slough. His wife and child were with him as they feared to stay alone their, cabin being six miles from the slough. He discovered the body while raking shortly before noon and immediately walked to Irwin & O’Brien’s camps a distance of .| was found. Further appearances eight miles from where he came on to Tenstrike with the news, leaving his family at Quiring: with Postmaster Carter. The spot where the body was found is on the land of D. W. Carter who has some 1200 acres at Quiring. The slough is a short distance off the road; a creek flows through it and it must have been quite wet in the| spring though frozen in early| April. Tcis about a mile and a quarter northwest of Miss Dahl’s cabin toward Quiring postoffice and a quarter of a mile from the old Crandall camp. It is also about a mile and a quarter from Caldwell’s cabin. The body was about ten feet frown the creek. The finding of the body of N. O. Dahl. with cap and mittens and that of the daughter clothed with overshoes, cloak and hat leads to the theory that they were either at work around the cabin or that they were going to a neighbors. It is presumed that the father was killed first and the body hidden and then the daughter was slain and placed on the hand sled and drawn to the slough, as the sled was found at | the fork of the logging road and near the place where the body! | indicate that the parties re- turned to the Dahl homestead | after the ground had thawed and buried the body. It was the custom of N.O. Dahl when he went on a trip to take the sled to that part of his| road where it branched to the main road. that he might the| more easily carry any provisions or freight to his home. And this is probably the reason the sled-did not attract more atten- tion. AUTOPSY The autopsy set for this after- noon willnot be held until six o’clock or later, Coroner Hender- son being unable to be pr esent;| until that hour.

Bigelow of Aledo, Ill., arrived in Bemidji yesterday for a visit with his son, B. M. Bige- low, head bookkeeper of the Crookston Lumber company. | Mr. Bigelow is a veteran news- paper man and can tell some very interesting incidents con- nected with the business in Min- nesota in the early days. Fifty years ago Mr. Bigelow was in the newspaper business in St. Paul snd Minneapolis was then only the strageling village of St. Anthony. It was at that time that the first daily paper was es- tablished in Minnesota. Four of them were born in St. Paul with 'in two weeks—the Pioneer Press jthe Minnesotan, the Democrat and the Times. Mr. Bigelow is at present conducting a job print- ing business in Aledo. He will remain in Bemidji a week or more. |HOSTS ARE GONE Mrs. B.

Although several efforts have been made by former members of the band to reorganize, noth- ing has been accomplished for [lacic of proper encouragement and the matter has been dropped mdehmtely. POLITICS It is one of the chamcteristics of the American people that they like to see a man doing his duty even though he has to sacrifice his own interests to do it. This is the reason why County Au- ditor Sylvester is so highly thought of by the people of Bel- trami county. Two years 'ago when Mr. Sylvester made ‘his first run for office he did not have timé to race up and down the county telling people what a good man he was; he had business in the county auditor’s office and he stayed there and did it. He did it so well that the people of the county nominated and elected him by an overwhelming vote. They knew a good auditor when they saw one and they did not propose to lose him-to further |; the personal ambition of some one else. During the past two years Mr. Sylvester has demon- |8 strated that he is one of the best county auditors in the state. He has been repeatedly rec- lognized as such by the officials with ‘whom he ness with the county auditor’ office know that they have invar ably received courtesy and a & careful painstaking protection of their interests at the hands of Mr. Sylvester. The county au- ditor’s office is the most impor- tant of all the county offices and a faithful, experienced, capable auditor is not tobe displaced just to please a politician or two or to give a job to some one who wants it. The people of Beltrami county have not grown less wise in the past two years; they still know a good auditor when they see one. Mr, Sylvester has not time from the duties of his office to race around the county telling what a good auditor he will make the next two years. We believe the people of the connty will think all the better of Mr. Sylvester for attending to the duties of his office and leaving them to decide whether he shall be his own suc- cessor or not. The contest between Judge of "Probate Clark and Attorney D H. Fisk for nomination as judge of probate is a clean manly one. Each man knows that the otheris worthy of the office and each man presents hisclaims in a straight- forward way that entitles them both to the confidence of the peo- ple. Judge Clark has an advan- tage over Mr. Fisk in that he has made a faithful and able official and that he has held office but one term. There is a sense of justice in all of us which says that a good man is entitled to at least a second term. Mr. Fisk has the advantage of being an at- torney and Judge Clark has the prestige of two year’s experi- ence. The contestis an exhibi- tion of healthful American poli- tics. Among the candidates for the superintendency of the county schools to be reckoned with, in the present campaign, is Prof. Edmunds late superintendent of of the Bemidji schools, whose qualifications and record make him a formidable competitor. His many friends throughout the county are actively pushing his claims while the clean, honorable methods used by bhim and his friends in the conduct of the campaign must commend him to all wno desire the severance of education and politics and the efficiency of our public schools.
