ELECTION IS CLOSE Warm Contest For County Attorney Won By County Attorney Loud. MANY PRECINCTS NOT HEARD FROM. YET Register of Deeds Is Very Close and Result in Doubt. Although not more than one half of the precincts in the coun- ty have thus far been heard from the winners in the primarvy elec- tion contest may not be picked with comparative certainty. The contest which attracted the most general attention and which brought out the greatest effort was that for county attor- ney. At three o’clock t noon it w still po for any one of the three candidates to win out although County Attor- ney Loud has a lead of over 100 and is probably renominated. None of the towns northand west of Blackduck have been heard from and Mr. Funkley thinks that they may give him.enough towin the nomination. This generally believed however. At three o’clock with all the large precincts in the vote stood, Loud 683, Gibbons 575, Funkley 494. The Red Lalke vote of two to one for Loud received shortly after noon practically settled the mat- ter in the minds of all. The contest which is now ab- sorbing the attention of all is that for register of deeds. Each of the four candidates is deyelop- ing a good vote, with Harris, Phibbs and Swedback running neck and neck for the goal. So many precincts are missing that it is impossible to predict the re- sult. Phibbs carried the city against Swedback by the narrow plurality of twenty but Harris has made big gains throughout the county. At 3 o’clock official returns and reliable mformation gave Phibbs a lead of one vote over Harris, tl 9 H ports from Clearwater and Red Lake counties show that Simons is re-clected by a good majority. Mayland carried Bemidji by 94 votes and has carried the county on the basis of the present re- turns by 80 votes, the figures be- ing Mayland 599, Simons 519. County Auditor Sylyester sur- prised everybody by carrying the city by 31 votes but is cer tainly defeated the vote to date being Wilmann 751, Sylvester 603 County Treasurer French is re-nominated by a vote of nearly two to one, the vote being at sent SO8 to 446, Judge Clark also defeats D. H. Fisk by 839 to 421, J.J. Regan is an easy winner for county superintendent of schools the vote to date being Regan 701, Edmunds 476, Dun- woody 376, Congdon 210.

COURT IN SESSION Judge Spooner Sits at Court House Today—One Case Disposed Of. GRAND JURY HAS RETURNED NO INDICTMENTS AS YET. Case of Schauls vs. Gagnon, Tak- ing Attention of Court This Afternoon. Sceptember term of distriet court for Beltrami county was begun at the court house thi morning, Judge Spooner presid- ing, and the court has settled down to busin in earnest. No business was transacted this forenoon and so far this after- noon one case has been disposed of and another 1s in course of - | trial. The grand jury was called to order this morning but nothing was done by that body during the forenoon. This afternoon they also have gotten to work and before a day is past it is ex- pected that seyveral indictments will be made. The first case to take up the attention of the court was No. 3 on the calendar, that of M. A. Dacey vs. C. E. Albrant. The plaintiff failed to appear and the case was dismissed upon a mo- tion by the defendant. The case of Frank Schauls vs. I'rank Gagnon is under trial by a jury this afternoon. Schauls, the plaintiff, alleges in the com- plaint that during the time he rented Gagnon’s building at the corner of Minnesota avenue and Second street certain repairs were made to the bullding at the instance of the defendant and that while the repairs wereunder way his saloon business was dam- aged to some extent. He claims damages against Gagnon upon this ground. Bailey & McDon- ald represent Schauls in the case while P. J. Russell appears for Gagnon. The next case on the calendar, that of Henry Buenther vs. the State Board of Game and Fish Commissioners is perhaps the most important in public interest of any to come up for trial at the present term. Mr. Buenther has had several disputes with the board and has each time been sustamned by the court. EGAN RETURNS Famous Catholie Professor Re- turns to Home at Wash- * ington, D. C. Dr. Maurice Francis Bgan left this morning for St. Paul, where he will visit with friends a couple ofdays before starting on his way to his home at Washington, D. C.

GAME WARDEN “Doc’”’ Rutledge of Cass Lake Accepts Appointment As Game Warden. “Doc’” Rutledge, city editor of the Cass Lake Voice, has re- ceived notice from the State Game and Fish commission of his appointment as game warden for the counties of Cass, Itasca and Beltrami and will take up his duties as such at once. *“Doc’ is a good fellow,_and a bright newspaper man and will un- doubtedly take care of his duties of his position in a-satisfactory manner. election is the magniticent run made by Andy Danaher for county commissioner. Mr. Danaher got so many votes that noboby has vet attempted to count them and his home town of Tenstrik i by him with a vote that simply buried all other parts of the district. The peo- ple of Tenstrike never go after anything by halves and they cer- tainly eclipsed all former records with the vote they gave to'Dana- her and Mayor Harris. The other commissioners are stillin doubt. Sagness is elected on the face of the returns from the Second district the vote be- ing Sagness 121, Gunderson 66, Pitkin 80. Shotley and the Bat- tle River country and Beaudette are still to be heard from how- ever. With Nebish and Hagali to hear from in the Fourth dis- trict, Wagner leads Glidden by three votes. M. E. CARSON, Mgr HEARD TALK OVER WIRES Insane Man Last Night Thinks He is Taking Mes- sages Off The Wire. THOUGHT TELEPHONE GIRLS WERE BEING CHOKED. Called to Police, Who TooK Him in Charge and Landed Him in County Jail. The police were attracted to the corner of Beltrami ayenue and Third street last night by he cries of a man who evidently was in great distress and who thought that he could hear the cries of girls at the telephone office that they were being choited to death. The man was gesticulating in a wild manner when the police approached him and as they came up shouted at the top of his voice that he could plainly hear supplications for aid from the young ladies at the tele- phone exchange and bade them hurry to the rescue. One of the police went to the office and found that everything was alright but after heemerged the man seemed to still carry the delusion and was in terrible agony at not being in a position to aid those he imagined were be- ing tortured. The officers sus- pected that something was wrong with the man and took him in charge and he is at present rest- ing inthe county jail awaiting the action of the probate court. The man isa stranger in the city and when seen this morning was not in a coadition to give his name to the authorities.

The first excitement in police court that has occurred for some time took place this morning when two lawbreakers were led in before Judge Pendergast. Herman Rock, who has spent considerable time in the city, went wrong last night in partak- ing too freely of liquid refresh- ments and when he arrived in the court room this morning his tongue and mouth were too parched to answer to the charge of drunkenness and drew five days in the county jail. One Collins tried to do things at Armstrong & Underwood’s cafe last night by breaking dishes _|and starting a row generally but; he speedily desisted ‘from his offorts when the police arrived and incarcerated him in the yil- lage bat cave. He was discharge- ed after paying a fine of ten dol- lars and costs, Deer In Frohn.

Workmen in British Shipyards Con- demn the Bonus System. London, Sept. 21.—After an inquiry lasting several months the engineer- ing and shipbuilding trades federation has issued a report condemning the premium or bonus system. The report says: “It has absolutely nothing to recom- mend it.
