TAKES SHOT AT NEIGHBOR Farmer in Town of Port Hope Thinks He Owns Road And Trouble Ensues. PLANTED CLOVER ON HIS HALF OF THE ROAD. And When Neighbor Tried To| Travel on Highway He Drives Him Away. The town of Port Hope, which has been replete with stovies of trouble of road building, h. ust had another experience in the same line and as a result one of the citizens of the town was brought to Bemidji this morning and appeared before Judge Pen- dergast on a charge of assault ith a dangerous weapon. He was dismiss upon loving citizen, and those who swore out the warrant against him helped to pay the costs. The trouble arose over a road which runs between the lands of the two farmers who live near Buena Vista. Fach of the neigh- bors contributed one-half of the road from the land which they owned and everything went along smoothly until this spring, when one sowed clover on the half which he had contributed, think- ing that this half of the road be- longed to him because the land had formerly been He warned all those who at- tempted to travel upon the road that the land beionged to him and thac all transgressors would be punished to the full extent of the law. Yesterday afternoon his neighbor attempted to drive along the road when he was stopped and requested to turn back, as he was transgressing upon the land of another. Here- plied that he did not see wherein this was true and continued on is journey. His neighbor did not give up. however, and went to his cabin, secured a revolver and came out near the road and fired npon the other man, who speedily made himself scarce in that vicinity. A warrant was sworn out yes- terday for the arrest of the man who had done the shooting and he was brought to the city this morning by Constable Cyr of Port Hope township. He plead not guilty to the charge of as-|9 sault with a dangerous weapon, and his neighbor afterwards be- came lenient and withdrew the charge and helped to vpay the costs.

Stoner returned last night from Buena Vista, where he completed the final details of the railway sur- vey from Bemidji to that town. Mr. Stoner also extended a line north from Buena Vista to con- nect with the survey made by the railway company, and reports that although the country north of .Buena- Vista is somewhat rougher than between there and Bemidji, the line is on the whole a very feasible route for the railway.

Crookston Journal: Chas, Tedford, the well known Cass Lake business man and townsite promoter who spent last evening in the city with friends, is be- moaning the loss of two valuable bird dogs which wandered away from him while he was hunting near Thief River Falls. Mr. Tedford has spent several days at Thief River looking for the canines which were exception- ally good hunters but has found no trace whatever of them and has given them up for good. Left This Morning. Chas. Bungo. the clever third baseman who has been with the Bemidji team during the season now closed. left this morning for Ponsford, Minn., where he will visit for a short time oefore leay- ing for Flandrean. Mr. Bungo is one of the fastest ball players ever seen in this part of the country and will without a doubt make good in some of the leagues next season. Red Lake Polities. Things politically over in Red Lake county are extremely ex- citing this year and that the contests for nomination are in many cases bringing out a great deal of bitternes There are a half dozen candidates approxi- mately for every one of the posi- tions in the court house and the candidates are all working tooth and nail for their own candi- dacy.

CLEARWATER CAMPS WITHIN TEN MILES. Season’s Cut Will Be a Heavy One—Bemidji Headquar- ters For All, Bemidji will this winter be wmore of a central point for the logging operations than ever be- fore. A notable accession which Bemidji obtains is the camps of the Clearwater Logging com- pany, The company will put in five camps, the work being even now under way, and some of these will be within ten miles of the city while none of them will be much farther away. All tote- ing for the season’s work will probably be done from this -city. There will be extensive logging operations on the reservations this winter. Several camps will be put in east of Cass Lake. and while they will be nearer Cass Lake than to Bemidji, this city will nevertheless be the head- quarters from which the men will largely be hired and from which the operations will be con- ducted. - There is at present a great scarcity of men but large num- ber will be coming to Bemidji to secure work in the camps within a short time. Work in the har- vest fields is not as profitable this year as some seasons and it is thought that the men will be- gin to drift back earlier than us- ual. The present outlook does not show that wages will-be much higher than last season. School supplies at Peterson’s. Trouble Oyer Closing. A committee of the Retail Clerk’s sssociation called on the merchants of the city this morn- ing and received assurances from nearly all of them that they would enter an agreement to close at eight o’clock. Some trouble was experienced among the grocers, however, and itis likely that considerable time may elapse before they can be in- duced to enter into the agree- ment. The carly closing agree- ment between the clerks and merchants expired yesterday: and last night mnearly all the stores of the city were open until nine o’clock. A meeting of the clerks will be held some time next week and they will probably take some definate action regard- ing the matter. Returned From Brookston. S. McCamus returned this af- ternoon from Brookston, where he has spent the past two or three days in looking over his townsite interests. Mr. McCamus re- ports that the streets of the new town are being cleared and that a number of lots have al- ready been sold. He is owner of about half the townsite. Off For Washington.

WILL PAY Wheat-Crop Will Return Farmer More Money This Year Than Last Year. W. B. Sheffield, superintend- ent of the St, Anthony & Dakota Elevator company for this dis- trict declares that this year’s crop will pay the farmer better than. that of last year and he gives ouf the following interview to the Crookston Times: ¢ TIam agreeably surprised at the pres- sent wheat crop. Itis yielding better and grading better than T expected, I believe the crop of the valley ‘will average nearly 12 bushels to the acre. Itwill run from ten to twelve, which is not so much below normal. It is nearly all graded wheat. Very little of it will be rejected. It will return more money to the farmer than last year’s crop. Taken together with the good vield of other crops and big prices, the valley will be much better off than last year.” CANVASSING Names of Those Who Will Can- vass Yotes at Primary Elee- = tion Given OQut.
