FRAUD IS CHARGED ElectionContestFiled Against |IMessrs. Loud, Harris and Danaher. CLAIM OF SEVETY-SIX ILLEGAL VOTERS AT TENSTRIKE. Primary at Tenstrike and Port Hope Called “Faise, Fraudu- lent, Undue and Void.” Papers were this afternoon filed with the clerk of court in three contest cases resulting from the recent primary election. John F. Gibbons disputes the right of Herbert J. Loud to have his name placed upon the officia election ticket as the candidate of the republican party of Bel trami county for county attorney, Charles Swedback contests the same right against J. O. Harris for register of deeds and J. O. Johnson bring a like contest against A. W. Danaher, Mr. E F. Crawford is attorney for each of the contestants. The complaint in all three cases are similar and that in the case of the county attorney may be cited as showing the grounds alleged for the contest in each case. The complaint declares that the primary election at Ten- strike was ‘“fraudulently ard eorruptly”’ conducted, that at least 76 persons who were not qualified to vote were allowed to vote, that many of these were not of legal age, that a great many, to-wit, 66, were not residents of the Tenstrike election district and that many of these were not even residents of the county of Beltrami or of the state of Min- nesota; that oneof the clerksofthe election, named Ryan, had whis- key bottles with him throughout the day and became so intoxi- cated that he was unable to as sist in counting the ballots. that A. W. Danaher, one of the candi- dates, went into the voting booths with at least five voters and as- sisted them in marking their bal lots; that the initials of the judges were not placed on a large num- ber of the ballots until after the ballots were taken from the ballot box after the close of the election; that the number of votes used and the number of votes returned to the county aud- itor does not equal the number of votes sent to the Tenstrike district by at least twenty. The complaint also alleges that at least fifteen unqualified voters were allowed to cast their bal- lots at the election precinct of the town of Port Hope and that there were not three election judges on the board of election as required by law at Port Hope, ete. Wherefore the complaint de- clares that the election at Ten- strike -and Port Hope does not represent the will of the people of these precincts but that it was “false, fraundulent, undue and void,” and prays hhe court that it be so declared.

Completed Tonight—Court Proceedings. The grand jury last night| I)wuvht inan indictment mmmbt‘ Paul Fournier and .]mue'-‘.\\’c:do for the killing of N. O. Dahl and his d.moucu, Aagot, last April. | More than 15 witnesses were ex- amined and thecase has taken up| alavrge part of the attention of; the jury since they came into| session. The' indictment is the| result of much careful delibera- tion on the part of every member of that body.* Speculation -has been rife in the entive northern part of the state as to what action the grand jury would take regarding the two Dahl suspects, and it will be a relief to many to know that sutficient evidence has been ad duced to hold the two men for trial. It is probable that Fournier will be held until the spring term of court. or at least until **Shorty” has been captured, as it is believed by the authorities that he will give up the entire story upon his arrest. The work of the grand jury is practically ended and it is thought that they will adjourn tonight. During the day they inspected the county poor farm and jail, taking dinner at the former place. The members were highly pleased at the condi- tion of both institutions and warmly complimented the keep- ers of each. In the court room the case of Hays & Verity vs M. E. Ibert- son till on and it is doubtful whether all the evidence will be in tonight. BADLY SCALDED Three Year 01d Child of A. P.Ly-! sacker Sustains Severe Burns This Morning.

Every Effort Will be Made by Citi- zens to Secure Building of Railway. J. W. Speelman was in the city yesterday from Buena Vista {and while here gave his views re- | garding the building of the new Red Lake railway through Bu- ena Vista into Bemidji. , Mr. Speelman is very enthusiastic over the prospects for securing the railroad and says that the feeling in and around . Buena Vista is the same. He stated that every farmer in the vicinity of Buena Vista was deeply inter- ested in having the proposition 2o through and that they have already offered to give the com- pany right of way through their lands free of charge. “I have every reason to be- lieve,” said Mr. Speelman, “that Wi lth the encouragement the com- pany has already received from the citizens of Bemidji and what they will receive from residents near Buena Vista, that the rail- way will be built. It means much to the people of both towns and a united efforton the partofithe business men should be made to insure for a certainty the build- ing of the railway. We are all deeply interested in the matter and it meauns thousands of dollars to us.” The route surveyed by Mr. Stoner is considered entirely feasible by the officials of the company and little doubt is mani- fested by those interested as to the building of the road providing the right of way can be secured.
