TAMS MAKES PROPOSITION Would Interest Bemidji Peo- ple in Securing Terminus of Railway. DIRECTORS OF RED LAKE ROAD FAVOR PROJECT. Mr. Bixby Offers to Help Pay For a Preliminary Survey Show- ing Country. M. D. Stoner. who recently re- turned from St. Paul, says that while he was there he called upon Tams Bixby and talked with him regarding the new Minneapolis, Red Lake & Manitoba railway’s proposition of making Bemidji the terminus of the road instead of some town up the line of the M. & I. Mr. Bixby expressed himself as firmly believing that the people of Bemidji were pass- ing up a very good thing in allow- ing the road to bmild to some town up the north line instead of to Bemidji without making an ef- fort to secure the terminus for this city. Mr. Bixby even offered to con- tribute one-fifth of the cost of the preliminary survey to this city in order to con- vince the railvay company that the county which would be tra- versed by its road in coming to Bemidji would be as good as if it made Farley or Tenstrike its ter- minus. After the conference with Mr. Bixby, Mr. Stoner called upon the directors of the company, and they expressed themselves in favor of building the road to Be- midji, although the cost of right of way would be much greater than if it were built to some town north of Bemidji. They natur- ally expect certain concessions from the people of this city should the road come here. The cost of @ preliminary sur- vey would be only about $400, and it is thought by Mr. Stoner that should the survey be mwade a united effort on the part of the business men of the ecity would result in landing road in Bemidji. It is certain that the city would profit greatly by the addition of another railway tapping the rich farming country to the north- west, as much of the trade from that section goes to other cities. Released From Hospital. Wm. Gauvreau, who has been confined to St, Anthony’s hos- pital for some months past, and who recently underwent a suc- cessful operation for appendi- citis, was released from the hos- pital yesterday. WORK IS CONCLUDED Crookston Lumber Co.’s Camps Move Northward to New Field. LARGE AMOUNT OF PINE LOGS| SHIPPED YEARLY. Cut of Logs the Coming Winter Will Be Larger Than That of Last Winter. Monday morning the camps of the Crookston Lumber company were moved from Kelliher toa new location three miles north of that village. The work at the Kelliher camp has been very heavy this year although there has not been as much lumber| shipped out as there was last! year. This was largely owing to| the facu that the season opened at Turtle Lake where there were| nearly five million feet shipped to | Bemidji before they began opcra-f tion at Kelliher. Last year there -were nearly eleven million feet of lumber! shipped from Kelliher Lake to Bemidjiand this year there has been but nine million. There| are one hundred men employed in the camp, thirty men working on the hoist. This has enabled them to push the work rapidly and the shipments each day have amounted to about three hundred and twenty thousand feet. i The work has consumed just| thirty days and the camps were! abandoned this week for good while the new camps will be! worked all through the remainder of the season and the winter. The| cut will be heavy this winter and | an ice road will be built to Kelli- ! her Lake where all of the timber will be hauled before it breaks up in the spring. This means that next year the shipment will | be even heavier from Kelliner | than in any year in the past. Nearly a hundred more men | will be taken on this week and the work of cutting will begin at once. There has beenno difficulty | in securing men this year and the trains will bring men into Kelliher every day until the de- mand is supplied.. In the entire season’s run this year there has not been an accident and the best of feeling and order prevails in the camps. The work at Kelliher is being done under the supervision of Contractor White, of Duluth, and he is assisted by Bob Mitchell, foreman of the hoist, and William Wardell, foreman of the camps. ! i | Medric Perrault Would Sever , | whereabouts of his missing frau TOUGH ON BENEDICT Marriage Ties With Erratic Wife. SAYS CANNUBIAL FELICITY IS ONE SIDED. Bemidji Man Said to Be Impli- cated in Causing Trouble Be- tween Man and Wife. Medric Perrault, the Farley saloon " keeper, passed through the city yesterday enroute to Farley from Grand Forks, where he conducted a diligent search for his wife, who left him some time ago and went west, but-all his efforts to locate the wife of his bosom have been of no avail. He will bring an action against the woman to secure a divorce on a charge of desertion. Perrault has had .considerable trouble with the wife who swore to love, honor and obey him, and has been thinking of applying for divorce for some time. The finishing stroke to sever all re- spect for her was when she dis- appeared last week. He waited a few days for-her return, but she did not show up and he went in search of her. He shaved off the neat moustache he wore for years, donned a pair of overalls and a slouch hat, and, completely disgui: ,' visited towns along the Great Northern lineas far west as Grand Forks, but the could not be found out. It is said that the woman was accompanied by a man from Be- midji, and the two were working some kind of a game together. It is claimed that she has been selling a variety of metal polish and a number of home made medicines which she*‘guaranteed to cure,” and has been making a comforta,b[e liying for herself and escort. They have kept go- ing steadily westward, however, and the last heard of them was that they had reached Orcgon and intended to establish a sheep ranch there. Perrault claims that his reason for following his erratic spouse was not to bring her back home, but rather to secure evidence enough against her so that he might successfully bring action for divorce. “He thinks he has accomplised this, and the suit will be started in the near fu- ture.

Contestant Claims He Cleared Brush From Claim Five Min. utes Before Filing. The contest case of John A. Bergland vs. Frank J. Ariz was appealed at the land office in Cass Lake yesterday, a decision having been reached by the officials of the land office adverse to Artz. Artz, who is being held at the county jail to the fall term of district court on a charge of the murder of John Weilander, a friend of Bergland’s, filed upon the land in dispute at five min- utes after nine o’clock on Noy. 10, 1903, at the land office. He had been in line at the door of the land office for twenty-four hours before the lands became open for settlement and was third to make his filing before the officials. Bergland, the contestant, claims that at 9 o’clock on the day that the lands were open for settlement, he was cutting brush on the land upon which Artz filed, and consequently had a prior right to file upon the land. He built a cabin upon the claim and |3 early in the month of April this year Artz went up to make im- provements upon the land which he thought was his. Artz also built a cabin, but was constantly || annoyed by Bergland and Weil- ander and finally the men became bitter enemies. Artz claims that in an alternation with Weilander over the matter he shot him in|? self defense, but he was subse- quently arrested for the murder of the man he had shot and is now being held at the county jail. The matter has been appealed to the commissioner of the inter- ior at Washington, but the date for the hearing has not yet been set. Henry Funklev of this city represents Artz in the matter, while L. M. Lang appears for Bergland. GOOD CROWD Many Attend. Dance Giyen by Foot Ball Team at City Hall Last Night. A large crowd was present at the dance given by the foot ball team at the city hall last night and a yery enjoyable time was had. The dance was a public one, but good management pre- vented any questionable charac- ters from obtaining admission. The ball is the first one given during the present season and was a success both socially and financially. The Bemidji orches- tra furnished music for the oc- casion, SHOT IN HEAD Son of Solway Farmer Sustains Serious Injury While Play- ing With Gun.
