At 3 o’clock today 29 precincts in this county out of 46, gave Simons 727, Mayland 719. Thus it appears that the vote of Beltrami county will de- cide the contest, the chances favoring Simons. The contest for county attorney and for register of deeds contin- ues to excite the keenest inter- est. Thirty four precincts give Loud a lead of 110 with JFunkley closely behind Gibbons, The ve- tarns from Beaudette and Spooner received this afternoon placed Harris in the lead for register of deeds with Phibbs and Swedback closely following. It is reported that the ballots sent to Zi ppleand Le Clair were never received and that no vote was cast in these precincts. No vote was cast at Alaska. Wagner in the Fourth and Danaher in the Fifth commis sioner district are easily elected. In the Second, with Shotley to hear from the vote stood Sagnes 147, Gunderson 131, Pitkin 124. It is believed that Gunderson will get a good majority in Shot- ley giving him the nomination.

E. CARSON, Mgr BROTHER IS GUILTY Si Fournier, Brother to Dahl Suspect, Makes Plain Statement of Facts. FOURNIER SAYS BROTHER HAS ALWAYS BEEN WILD. Two Brothers Started From Home at Age of Seventeen but Ways Have Deviated. Si. Fournier, a brother of Paul Fournier. who is being held at the county jail upon the charge of murdering N. O. Dahl and daughter Aagot, arrived in the city yesterday from his home at Turtle River. Mr. Fournier was approached this afternoon by a representative of the Pio neer and when asked as to what he thought about his brother he veplied that it was his opinion that Paul had a hand in the murder of the old man and his mnocent daughter. “I am very sorry to admit it,” said Mr. Fournier, “but Paul has always been a wild boy. We left howme at the age of seventeen and since then each has been com- pelled to hustle for his own liv- ing. I was married after I had been away from home a few years but my brocher is s.ngle as yet and during the time he has spent away from the influ- ence of our relatives has prob- ably been mixed up with some pretty bad company. I do not believe that the crime of killing the two Dahls is too terrible to be committed by him, and, as loth as lam to say it, I believe that he had a hand in the murder,”’ Mr. Fournier appears to be a very clean and upright gentle- man and the subject of his brother’s misdoings brought tears to his eyes as he told of his conviction that Paul had com- mitted the deed. DISTRICT COURT Frank Schauls Gets Verdict of $10 and Costs—Important Case Up Today. In the case of Frank Schauls ys. Frank Gagnon yesterday after- noon the plaintiff was awarded a verdict of $10 and costs. The suit was regarding some dispute over the renting of a building which Gagnon owned, to Schauls and the plaintiff claimed damages because some repairs had been made to it while he was occupy- ing the building. The case of Lydick & Coulthrust vs. Chas. Harmon is being tried today and will in all probability take all the afternoon. The plaintiffs are su- ing Harmon for $1500 damages which they claim for the useof a dam which they owned and which the defendant used during his logging operations near Nebish. Bailey & McDonald represent the plaintiffs and A. Y. Merill the defendant. As yet the grand jury has returned no indictments but are hard at work.

LEG WAS BROKEN IN TWO DIF- FERENT PLACES. Steadied Horses With Voice While He Freed Himself With Jack Knife. The Pioneer yesterday after- noon made mention ofan acci- dent which ocearred to George Gruyatt while hauling a long piece of timber near the Sandy river, northof Solway. The details of the accident are as follows: Guyatt was hauling a large piece of timber sixty feet in length when in attempting to clear oneend of it away from a stump the horses started and Guyatt fell, the log rolling over on to his leg. He was all alone and before he could stop the horses they had gone a number of feet, dragging the heayy timn- ber over his leg and breaking it in two different places. His cries finally stopped the team and he made a desperate attempt and made a desperate effort to ex- tract his leg from under the log, but it was unsuccessful. He then thought of his jack knife, andin a moment was digging away furiously around the im- prisoned limb, meanwhile steady- ing the horses with his voice. It took him forty minutes to com- plete the task, and at the end of that time he extracted the leg, which was afterwards found to be broken in two places, A neighbor happened to hear his cries for help and arrived upon the scene, and afterwards hitched up his own team and brought the injured man to Sol- way, from where he was put on the train and brought to the county hospital in this city, where the leg was set and he is at present resting quietly. BAD WRECK Freight Cars Piled up at Crooks- ton—Steel Rails Chopped To Bits. The most serious wreck in the history of Northen Minnesota railroading occurred in the Crookston yards yesterday af- ternoon. A heavily loaded east bound wheat freight crashed into the ditch north of the city and piled twenty or more wheat cars and their contents into a solid mass of debris and wreckage. A defective switch was responsi- ble for the accident, and the fact that no lives were lost is consid- ered marvelous. Hobos, who were riding be- neath the cars upon the trucks, had narrow escapes aud several were severely injured. The en- gine and fore part of the train got safely over the switch which was responsible for the accident, but the heavily laden wheat cars pried the switch openand the re- sultant shift of the tracks re- sulted in the tearing up of the tracks and ditching nearly the entire train. The track is torn up for half a mile and all train service delayed while the wreck- ers are at work. Steelrails were literally chopped to pieces by the force of the impact. There are 8000 bushels of grain on the tracks. A man is missing who may be in the wreckage, ENGRAVING FREE E. A. Barker Makes Liberal Prop- osition to People of Be- midji and Vicinity.
