EVIDENCE SECURED Piece of Shirt Sleeve Found Near Spot Where Dahl Body Was Discovered. SHIRT FROM WHICH IT WAS TORN IN FOURNIER'S CABIN. “Shorty” Said to Be Located And Sheriff Bailey Has Gone To Arrest Him. Another scrap of eyidence which the authorities think will aid in implicating Paul Fournier in the Dahl tragedy was recently developed in the shape of a piece of a man’s shirt sleeve found near the spot where the body of N. O. Dahl, the murdered home- steader, was unearthed. The shirt from which it was torn was found in Fournier’s cabin. It is also stated upon good an thority that “Shorty’” has been located and that he is at present | ] in hiding in the Rainy River coun- try. Sheriff Bailey left the first of the week, and although his destination could not be learned, it is thought that he will hrin_« “Shorty’” with him upon his re- turn to this city. The preliminary hearing of Caldwell and Fournier, held on suspicion of connection with the murder of N. O. Dahl and Miss Aagot Dahl last April was to have been held this morning but at the last moment it was decided to continue Fournier’s hearing for thirty days. Caldwell was dismissed. A good deal of criticism has been heaped upon the county au- thorities because more arrests have not been made and evidence secured which would clear up the mystery and lead to the punish- ment of the guilty parties. It is felt by a good many people chat the authorities have not pursued the proper course and that more vigorous action would have re- sulted in clearing Beltrami county of the dark stain which this foul crime has cast upon it. The authorities, however, have been indefatigable in the matter, have traced up every clue, have arrested every one against whom there was any suspicion and have put the suspects through the most rigid course of cross ques- tioning. It has been all to no purpose, however, and it has been an open secret that no tangible evidence whatever has been secured. The continuation of the case for thirty days will hold Four- nier until the grand jury meets next month and the whole matter will probably be taken up by that body.

A letter was received yester- day by Chief of Police Bailey from Chas. Johnson of Reynolds, N.
