EVIDENCE LACKING| No Proof by Which Dahl Sus- pects Can Be Held to Grand Jury. HEARING TO BE HELD DAY AFTER TOMORROW. Probable That Both Caldwell and Fournier Will Be Discharged At That Time. As forecasted several times in these columns there is absolutely no evidence by which either Cald- well or Fournier now held.at the county jail as suspects in the Dahl murder case can be bound over to the grand jury and there is every prospect that at the pre- liminaay examination set for Thursday of this week both men will be discharged. Both Caldwell and [ournier have been made to talk and both of them have talked quite freely and while it is established that Fournier was at his cabin near the Dahl homestead sometime between the 4th and the 12th of April there is nothing whatever to show that he was in any way connected with the murder. The same is true of Caldwell. Var- ious wild stories of what had been said by one man or another have been in general circualation but a careful investigation has in every instance proved them -to be utterly without foundation. The truth is that there is no evidence against any man. Sev- eral are suspected but even for these suspicions there is no real foundation other than a general teeling that some of the evil characters who have infested the Quiring district are to blame for the crime. WILL BUY LANDS Hon. J. M. Markham Left Be- midji Today For Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Hon. J. M.

SURVEY TO NEBISH WILL BE BEGUN TOMORROW, Road Would Do a Big Logging Business and Tap a Very Rich Country. At a meeting of the directors of the Business Men’s club last evening a number of business men were preseut and the matter of securing a preliminary survey for a road north to Nebish to con- nect with the road of the defunct Red Laike Transportation com- pany was ussed. It was the opinion of those present that such a survey should be made at once in order to demonstrate the fact that the proposed route into Bemidji is more feasible than any other. Assurances have been given to Tams Bixby. Senalo swedback, County Surveyo Stoner and others that if a feasi-{ ble route can be found into Be-| midji and it can be shown that there is any probab’ ing the venture a paying one Lh(,‘ old Red Lake Transportation | road will be extended to this city | to connect with the M. & I. and the Great Northern rather than| to any other point on the M. & I. where the road would have one connection. i A committee consisting of | Senator Swedback, E. H. Winter and R. W. Hlteh(’ock was ap- pointed to interview the business men of the city and solicit funds | for a preliminary survey, the Be midji Townsite & Improvement company agreeing to bear one fifth of the expense. Over ,{41()0‘ was raised at the meeting last ning and the balance of the | “II\‘ede for the survey was cheerfully contributed this morn- ing. The survey will be run at once and the prospects for securing the road are encouraging. This is a matter of exceedingly great importance to Bemidji and no effort will be spared to show the | | owners of the road that connec- tion with Bemidji will prove pro- fitable to them. Jack Frost.

PLAN TO MAKE GREAT WATER POWER AT DULUTH. Proposition Is Being Fought By Those Interested in Koochi- ching Power. A hearing in chambers was re- cently held in Brainerd befo! Judge MecClenahan whicl volves a project which will lish and maiutain a huge water power near the city ut Duluth out of the waters of the Rainy river. The proceedings were brought by the Minnesota Canal & Power company, represented by Sena- tor C. O. Baldwin and O. H. Si- monds, of Duluth, and E. S. Durment, of St. Paul. Attorney C. J. Rockwood, of Minneapolis, the people of Koochiching in the matter. They are condemnation proceedings which have as their prime object the draining of water from the Rainy river coun- try to the city of Duluth to be used in a power plant. The plan is to connect the lakes and rivers north by dams, running the water into the St. Louis river and thence down to Duluth. The scheme, as outlined by one of the witnesses in the case, is a feasible one, but those who are |interested in the water power at Koochiching object to the build- ing of canals and dams as it will | affect their own water power and they are using all expedient, means to check such a move. In the first instance it is proposed to reverse the flow of water from Birch Lake into Rainy Lake. The waters from Birch lake flow nm‘th, and the object is to reverse them by buiding canals and dams so that they will ran south. There is no connection between Birch lake and any of the other small streams which empty into the St. Louis river, so they pro- ,pose to build a canal from the lake to Embarrass river, running the water right down into the St. Louis. The water will then flow down the St. Louis river to a point above Cloquet, where it is propoesed to build another dam and run a canal from there to the heights west of Daluth. Hartley Farm Sold. E.

H. Fullerton To- tally Destroyed By Fire This Afternoon. The residence of C. H. Fuller- ton on Irvine avenue south of the ‘|Great Northern tracks was totally destroyed by fire this af- ternoon and the two-story house of Mrs. H. Halvorson was badly damaged. The alarm was turned in at 2:15 and ten minutes afterwards the department was on the scene witha stream playing ‘on the doomed building. It was seen, however, that nothing could be done with this, and the water was turned to the house of Mrs. H. Halvorson, situated only a few feet from the Fullerton building, and which had been ignited. Ti @ _| fire was fought at a disadvantage as the heat from the burning buildings was intense. The wind was directly from the south and threatened the residences of C. Warner, John Patterson, and Wm. Ferris, but prompt work on the part of the firemen prevented the fire from spreading to these buildings. The fire originated from a stove which had been placed too near the wall of the kitchen. Mrs. Fullerton weut out after a pail of water and came back to find her home in flames. The loss to Mr. and Mrs. Fullerton is complete, as no insurance was carried. The Halvorson house was insured for a part of its value.

At a meeting of the ladies of the Presbyterian church held yesterday afternoon a large amount of work was cut out for the men of the congregation. It was decided to give a ‘‘gander party’”’ on September 27, and the men will be called upon to cook the provisions for the occasion and to serve them to the hungry hordes which will doubtless rush to devour some small morsel of the tempting tit-bits cooked by the men. The only work which the women of the congregation will be allowed to do in connec- tion with the spread will be chopping the wood for the fires. It is whisperad that several ganders have made secrat pur- chases of cook books already. Miss Dahl Buried.
