Princess Grocery Co FORGERY AND FRAUD is What the Frohn “Protest’” is Says L. T. Bjella. That BACKS IT UP WITH AN OFFER OF $500.00 Citizens of Frohn Tell How the Signatures to the Protest Were Solicited. Bemidji, Minn., Sept. 15, "04. JOHN WILMANN, KEsq., I will pay you the sum of five hundred doll if you can prove that the protest from the town of Frohn, published in the Bemidji Sentinel, without signatures, is not partly a forg and a fraud. L. T. BiELLA, Town of Frohn. Bemidji, Minn., Sept, 13, '04, To the Public The protest from town of Erohn a fake As legal voters from the town of Frohn we believe it is our duty to let the people of Beltrami county know the truth in regard to the protest from said town. In the first place John Wilmann and 0. M, Skinvik were taking a a drive through our town with that protest and begged the vot- ers to sign the protest and some of them signed just to get rid of them and we know of one person who said, “I signed but I will never vote for Wilmann.” Sec- ond, they say the protest is signed by twenty voters of our town. That is not so. The pro- test is signed by 15 persons of the town and one of them is not a legal voter. The rest of the names were signed by one person as it is shown by the handwriting. We took one of these men to the Sen- tinel office and asked him if he had signed his name on the pro- test, and he said, “I don’t know anything about this and I never authorized anybody to put my name on that protest.” Another whose name was on the protest told Mr. Wilmann, “I will never sign that protess.” Still they took his name. One of the per- sons wiose name was on the pro- test was in North Dakota at the time and is there yet. All the votes he could seratch up irour town was 14 out of be- tween 40 and 50 votes and out of these he wili lose two or three. We pecople in the town of Frohn have nothing against D. L. Syl- vester. He has always treated us fairly and isalways accom- modating and youwill alwaysfind him at his office and attending to % his duties. This statement is made of our own free will without any solici- tation from anyone whateyer. ** (August 24 the Pioneer pub- lished an interview with a gen- tleman from the town of Frohn in which he said that the voters of that town were practically un- animous for D.

DID INDIANS | KILL DAHLS? Sensational Story Given Out to Effect That Murder Was Committed by Indians. CLAIMED THAT ORGANIZED BAND HAS BEEN OPERATING. Indian Who Heard Brothers Plotting Crime Says He Will Give Information. A theory which may have an important bearing upon the fam- ous Dahl murder case has been recently developed and those who have been connected with the case give the story credence and think that it may lead to finding the-real perpetrators of the crime, and that Fournier will be dismissed. The facts, according to the story given out by them, are to the effect that no white man com- mitted the crime of murdering N. O. Dahl and daughter, Aagot, but that the deed wasperpetrated by Indians, This, perhaps, is a very sensational and improbable theory to those who have not followed the developments in the case closely, but the story is supported by a statement re- cently made by an Indian to the effect that he heard his fellows braves discussing the killing of the pair before the deed was committed and that he would give the whole story. The Indian says that during the winter a number of his broth- ers were employed atthe mouth of the Cormant river cutting cordwood, among them being some of the very worst of the tribe, and that he heard them ar- g the details. According story they had heard that Mr. Dahl had a large sum of money hid in his cabin, and the plan was to kill the old man and his daughter and make way with the booty. Immediately after the killing, it is claimed, the Indians who had been employed in the cord wood business left the vicinity of Quiring and went to Thief River Falls, where a part of the money was spent, and where they re- mained for two day before going to the reservation. It is said that the Indians who itis claimed had a hand in the murder are the same that made way with George Wetsel, the game warden who was killed in 1898, - and that they are a sgularly organized band who have spent the best part of their lifetime In committing robberies and other crimes. The new theory, if proven true, will put a very different light up- on the mystery and providing the Indian makes good his word will exonerate Fournier from ever having a hand or knowing anything about the crime How- ever it is claimed by the authori- ties that they have secured enough evidence against Four- nier to hold him for trial at the coming term of court. A Boy’s Wild Ride For Life. With family around expecting him to die, and a son riding for life, eighteen miles, to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con- samption, coughs and colds, W. H. Brown of Leesville, Ind., en- dnred death’s agonies from asth- ma; but this wonderful remedy gave instant relief and soon cured him. He writes: “I now sleep soundly every night.” Like mar- velous .cures of consumption, pneumonia, bronchitis, coughs, colds and grip prove its match- less merit for all throat and lung trouble.

August 81 the Sentinel published a “Protest’ stating that the interview pub- lished in the Pioneer was false and that ninth-tenths of the vot- ers of ['rohn would vote for Mr. Wilmann. The nawmes of the twenty voters who were alleged to have signed the ‘Protest” were not published. The above communications were handed the Pioneer today with the re- quest that they be published just as given above. Both communi- cations are filed, signed, at this office.—ED.) Subscribe for eer. DRAWING T0 A CLOSE Base Ball Season Will Soon Be Over and Few More Games Will be played. BEMIDJI HOLDS NORTHERN MINNESOTA CHAMPIONSHIP. Has Won More Games Against Good Teams Than Any Other Aggregation, It is probable that the Bemidji base ball team will not play more games during the present season and the players have already started making preparations to leave the city. The cold weather has dampened the base ball fever and from now on the game that will hold tlie interest of everyone is foot ball. During the season now rapidly drawing to a close northern Minnesota has been treated with some of the best base ball ex- hibitions ever played by amateur teaws, and foremost among the victors is Bemidji, whose team has made the best record against fast teams of any of the northern Minnesota ageregations. The management of -the local team feels that the record made by Bemidji in defeating the Big Du- luths, Sioux Indians, Melrose, Sauk Centre, Aitkin and many other fast teams which it has went up against entitles it to first place, and although Brain- erd won two games from them they are certain that if a fair deal had been secured they would not have been secoud best, It is not known at present how many of the old players will sign with Bemidji for next sea- son, but the probability ‘is that nedarly all of them will come back. MARRIED Wedding of Miss Kathleen Walker and Mr. Mike Downs Oc- curred Last Night, The wedding of Miss Kathleen Walker to Mr. Mike Downs oc- curred at the home of the bride’s parents two miles west of the city last night at 7:30 o’clock. The ceremony was brief and simple and only the relatives and a few close friends of the con- tracting parties were in attend- ance. iss Walkeris theyoung- est daughter of Mr. and Mrs, W. A, Walker and has made her home in Bemidji with her par- ents for the past'five years. Mr. Downs is well and favorably known throughout the city and holds a situation at the store of E. H. Winter & Co. The Pioneer joins with a host of friends in wishing the happy couple a long and successful life. BUSINESS GOOD C. H. Miles Says Wholesale Liquor Business Is Prosperous In Bemidji. C, H. Miles, proprietor of the Golden Club and Great Northern saloons, and who has conducted a wholesale liquor business for the past three years, reports that wholesaling is on the in- crease and expects that before snow flies it will be necessary for him to engage at least one traveling salesman, and possibly two. Mr. Miles also states that the basement under the Golden Club, where he has formerly conducted the wholesale busi- ness is entirely too small and that he will be compelled to erect an- other building to accomodate his increasing trade. BOAT YET LOST “See Jones Seems to Have Dis appeared and Efforts to Locate It Are Useless. The “See Jones” steamer owned by W. C. Jones which dis- appeared from its anchorage just out from the Third street dock, has not been located and all ef- forts to find any trace of the missing craft have been futile. Mr. Jones is somewhat down- hearted over the loss of the vessel which was built last spring and been in commission only a few months. He is still carrying on a search for the missing boat, however, and itis to be hoped that he will ultimately recover the boat. Mxrs. ‘M. Bentsen arrived in the home of Mrs. the city last night for a visit at|H B DIAMONDS RETURNED Young Lady Who Left Cit): With Valuable Sparks Returns Them. MAN WHO PRESENTED THEM TO HER FEELS BETTER. Thought That Stones. Dresses And'Money Were Lost to Him Forever, The gentleman who presented ayoung lady with $200 worth of diamonds, a few silk dresses and some small amount of cash re- cently received a packags mailed at Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, containing the diamonds and later received a trunkexpressed from that place which contained the sillk dresses which he had given her. 1t will be remembered that the Pioneer printed a story of the girl’s disappearance some time ago and nothing had been heard from her since. It hasleaked out, however, that the intentions of the young lady were not so bad ashad been at first supposed, and that she intended to wear the garments, stones, ete. with which she had been presented for a short time and considered them as a short loan. The gentleman who made the gifts naturally felt somewhat irate upon hearing of her depart- ure from Bemidji, but made no attempt to recover the valuables. However, he was requested to settlefor thestones by the jeweler from whose establishment he had procured them, and yester- day the last payment was made upor them. thinks that the payment for the diamonds is a slight thing as long as he will have the use of them, bui it may be well to say that hereafter it will be useless for any young lady to approach him with a view of securing silk dresses or anything else froim him, ROSBY WHEAT Probability That Elevator Will Be Built to Accommodate Farmers. Arne Solberg of Fosston passed through the city yesterday en- route to Rosby, where he looked over the field in the interests of a Minneapolis commission house with a view of establishing an ele- vator in that village for the ac- commodation of farmersin that vicinity. Mr. Solberg expressed himself as being well pleased with the outlook and said that he would secure the erection of a grain elevator for Rosby if possi- ble, The town is considered quite a center for grain and the opinion of those who have had ex- perience in the commission line an elevator would be a paying proposition. Mr. Solberg re- turned to Bemidji yesterday af ternoon and left on the morning train for Fosston. WILL BE MANAGER \ Chester Snow Aceepts a Position as Manager of the Bemidji Elevator Company. Chester Snow has accepted a position as manager of the Be- midji Elevator company and as soon as the buildings are com- pleted Mr. Snow will take up his duties as such. Mr. Snow is one of the pioneers of Bemidji and has been successful in all his business ventures here. He is a very bright and far-seeing | business man and there is no doubt but that the company’s interests will not suffer in his hands. Good Prices for Wood. The price now current for cut- ting birch cordwood at Black- duck and other towns up the north line is one dollar a cord. Few men are engaged in the work, however, the bulk of them hayving gone to the Dakota har- vest fields. This price is consid- ered very good, as birch is much easier to work than other hard- woods. Got Cold Feet. The Cass Lake base ball team, which recently challenged the Bemidji team toa game for $50 a side, evidently has cold fe:t, and the game which was to have been arranged: between the two aggregations has been called off.
