FATE IN BALANCE Report of Special Agent on Cass Lake Land District Has Been Made. WILL BE KEPT SECRET UNTIL SEPETEMBER 15. Favorable Report Will Greatly Increase the Size of the Distreit. For many months past an active attempt has been made to have returned to Cass Lake Land office the territory in the ex- treme northern end of the dis trict cut from it and attached to the Duluth district. Petitions have been circulated and have been signed by practically every person living in the territory af- fected praying that it might be reattached to the Cass Lake land district. The territo natur- ally belongs to the C: Lake district and under the present conditions the settlers are put to a great and unnecessary expense of time and money in proving up haying to travel directly throvgh Cass Lake and 160 miles beyond in order to do their land office business. A special agent was appointed to investigate the matter and his report has now been made. The Duluth Herald for last evening says of it. The report of the special in- spector sent out a month ago by Commissioner Richards of the general land office to iuvestigate the petition of residents of the Cass Lake land district to have certain lands saken out the juris- diction of the Duluth land dis- trict has been received at the general land office. Owing, how- ever, to the absence of both Com- missioner Richards and Secre- tary Hitchcock, its contents will be held a secret until the return of these officers, probably about Sept. 15. The report is now in the hands of acting commissioner of the land office, who this morn- ing, stated that it had not been considered and at least until the return of Commissioner Rich- ards he would lay the entire matter upon the table to wait the return of his chief. EXCURSION Will Be Given on Moose and Ranger to Head of the Lake This Evening. The Y. P. S. C. E. of the Pres- byterian church will give an ex- cursion on the Moose and Ran- ger this eyening to the head of the lake. The excursion is an annual affair with the young people and a very enjoyable time is anticipated. Everybody with- out regard to creed or lack of creed is|invited to attend and en- joy a good time.

Mr. Bailey states that no| effort will be made to have a hearing, and the execution wili take place on the date set by Gov. Van Sant, August 31. Father Murphy of this city went to Walker this morning, and will remain there until after the hanging, as he has been selected as referee by Chounard’s rela- tion. He will do what he can to console and comfort the mur- derer. August 26 and 27. All the ar- rangements for a good time have been completed, and prepara- tions have been made for the com- fort and entertainment of all those who attend.

Chounard seems to bear up somewhat bet- ter than when he was first noti- at he was to hang, and if he would die game, in spite of the fact thatat one time his collapse was almost complete. The execution will be con- ducted in as quiet a manner as possible, and only a few persons will beallowed inside the fence around the gallows. Sheriff Hardy has not yet stated whether he will spring the trap or not. various diversions will entertain the excursionists when the head of the lake is reached.

THEY STOLE BOTH GAMES Base Ball Games at Brain- erd Deliberately Filched By Umpires. SUNDAY SCORE WAS THREE TO TWO IN EIGHT INNING. Then Twelve Straight Balls Were Called on Emerson and Three Men Walked. The Bemidji base ball club re- turned last night from Aitkin, after having played two games at Brainerd and-one in the former city. The games at Brainecd re- sulted in defeat for the local ag- gregation in both games, but re ports from Brainerd show that neither game was on the square, and it would have made little dif- ference whether it had been the New York league team or a bunch from Nevis who had played—the result would have been the same. The Brainerd aggregation has a reputation for being unfair in every game where any money consideration is involved, and this fact was plainly shown when the Bemidji team visited that city Saturday and Sunday. Kel- ley, a would-be pugilist, umpired the game Saturday, and although he was rotten on both sides, he managed to give Bemidji con- siderably the worse: of it all the way through. The score was close, however, and Bemidji lost by five to four. In the second game Brainerd showed its hand in an admirable manner, Ole Peterson, formerly employed in this city, was the umpire. He gave fairly good de- cisions up to the eighth inning. At this stage of the game the of Bemidji, rottenness of the umpire was shown. He called twelve straight balls on Emerson, putting three men on bases. A grounder was hit to Bungo on third. Bungo got it, stepped on third base and threw the ball to home plate in time to catch his man, but both the men were called safe, The game was Bemidji’s all the way through, as they did better fields ing and did not make an error. Even Brainerd people in the grand stand were heard to shout “‘rotten,”” and all the fair minded people of the city conceded that the Bemidji team outclassed their aggregation in eyery way, A game will be arranged be- tween the two teams to be played in this city next Sunday provid- ing the Brainerd bunch can be induced to come here. FUNERAL TODAY Services Over Remains of George Barnby Held at Presby- terian Church, The funeral over the remains of George Barnby, who died yes- terday afternoon atSt. Anthony’s hospital as the result of injuries /| sustained ina railway accident Saturday night, were held from the Presbyterian church this afternoon at 2:30, Rev. McLeod officiating. A large number of friends of the deceased were in attendance at the funeral and the casket was covered with flowers. The re- mains were interred in Green- wood cemetery and a large cor- tege followed the remains to its last resting place, including the local lodge of Woodmen of which he was a member. Mr. Barnby wasone of the pioneers of Beltrami county, hav- ing come here before the present townsite was platted. He owned a farm four miles south of the city, where helived with his wife and children. STATEMENT Treasurer of Bemidji Base Ball Club Gives Statement To August 20.
