ARTZ CASE IS ON NOW Trial of F. J. Artz for Killing of John Weilander Begins This Morning. PROSPECTS THAT JURY WILL NOT BE COMPLETED TODAY. Much Interest Manifested in Case Which Will Probably Last Entire Week. The trial of ¥, J. Artz for the killing of John Weilander was begun this morning and the at- torneys have been busy seclect ing the jury which will decide the fate of the man who is ac- cused by the grand jury of mur- der in the first degree. So far there haye been only four jury men sworn in, and the prospects are that it will take all the afternoon as well as a good share of tomorrow to secure twelve men to sit on the jury. Artz was arrested last spring upon a warrant sworn out by County Attorney Loud and was held upon a preliminary exam- ination to await the action of the grand jury. He was indicted last week and his case is the first of its nature to come before the present term of court, Much interest is manifested in the case and the court room is filled with listeners, although the real trial has not yet begun. The trial promises to be a long wind- ed one, as every effort will be made by the authorities to se- cure a conviction and the de- fendant’s attorneys will do all in their power to secure his release. Miss Hattie Artz, a sister of the accused, is in attendance, and will remain here until after the verdict of the jury is given. Drowned in Upper Rapids. Border Budget: The rapids at Pitcher’s point added another vietim last Sunday to its already long list. Another life is lost and another home darkened on ac- count of its treachery. While out paddling for pleasure Sun- day afternoon Warren Hodgins and James McKenzie had their canoe capsizdd in the upper rap- ids. McKenzie managed to save himself by ciimbing onto the up- turned boat, but Hodgins, more unfortunate, became entangled in the crossbars and lost his life. Raising Hotel, A crew of men are at work to- day raising the Remore hotel building to the proper height. The building is one of the oldest in the city, having been builtin 1896, and portions of it have lowered owing to the |rotting of the sills. M. D. Stoner went to Cass Lake this afternoon on business.

Judge Spooner has signed an order requiring Messrs. Loud, Harris and Danaher to show cause why their names should not be stricken from the election ballot as nominees of the republi- can party in this county for county attorney, register of deeds and commissioner from the Fifth district respectively, and the names of Messrs. Gib- bons, Swedback and Johnson substituted. This is the regular course in the case of an election contest and the order is made re- turnable next Monday, one week from today. So inquiry has arisen as to what the exact yote will be in case the election contest named above prove successful and the precincts of Tenstrike and Port Hope are thrown out as prayed for in the complaint of the con- testants. The following table will show what the vote would be in the various contingencies named: > Tenstirke Port Hope Both out out out, ATTORNEY Gibhons 642 unkley Race With Death. Brainerd Dispatch: There was a race with death this afternoon and it was perhaps one of the quickest runs ever made between this city and Little Falls when an engine and single cahoose flew over the line having aboard John Henry, an engineer on the main line who had a sudden attack of appeundicitis and who it was thought was dying. It is said that the run was made in a little better than forty minutes. Upon reaching the city Henry was still alive and will be operated on. Today Is Pay Day. Tonight will be pay day for the teachers of the Bemidji public schools and after all the em- ployes receive their checks the amount in the treasury of the district will be considerably di- minished. A meeting of the school board will be held in the near future and interesting mat- ters will in all likelihood be taken up for consideration. New Clerk at Baazar.

TO SAVE THOUSANDS Wagon Road From Baudette Straight South on The Range Line. IT WOULD ACCOMMODATE HUN- DREDS OF SETTLERS. Saving in Mileage Fees Would Pay for Road In Two Years. To anyone who has for a mo- ment considered the map of Bel- trami county the need of a wagon road south from Baudette isone of the most urgent of Beltrami county’s needs. There is now a legally designated road south from Baudette on the range line between ranges thirty and thir- ty-one. This road ruas straight south curving slightly around the end of Red Lake and then. past Shotley on south to Blackduck. The distance to Red Lake is about 36 miles while Blackduck is about the same distance still further south. The nearest point to railway connections is Kelliher which would be about 55 miles from Baudette. County Surveyor Stoner esti- mates that the mileage fees paid by the county in two years would entirely pay for the cost of the road, while the benefit to the set- tlers and to the people of the county generally would be very great and the road would prove a powerful factor in the develop- ment of the county at both of its terminals and along the entire roate. The road would be a di- rect outlet not only for the great Rainy River country but for all the Shotley Brook courtry and the Rapid River country terri- tory both of which sections are fine farming lands already well settled. The road is a project in which the people of Beltrami county are intensely interested and vig- orous effort should be made this winter in the legislature to ob- tain assistance from the state for its construction. Grand Jury Adjourns. The grand jury, after a session of ten days, adjourned Saturday night, after having returned six indictments, seven persons being accused of crimes by that body. Four murder charges, one charge of assault with intent to kill, one burglary in the first degree and another of forgery were made and it is probable that with the exception of two of the murder cases all the persons accused will be tried at the present term of court. The members of the grand jury rettrned this morn- ing to their homes in the differ ent parts of the county. Not Legal Publication. The case of Hays & Verity vs. M. E. Ibertson went to jury Sat- urday afternoon and a verdict was rendered for the defendant. Hays & Verity sues for $300 damages claiming that Mr, Ibert- son represented the subscription list of the Sentinel to be 400 whereas as they swear it was but 216 or less than enough to constitute a legal publication. It is not often that a publisher will talke the pains to made affidavit that his paper is not alegal pub- lication but this seems to be the on? exception that proves the rule. New Paper. Border Budget: International Falls is soon to have another new- paper. The promoters of the new enterprise are A. H. Farrel, at present publishing the Laurel Press, and C, W. Station, an at- torney of St. Paul, at one time publisher of a paper at Appleton, Mina. They have made arrange- ments for the erection of a large two story building on the new townsite and will install a large power plant with lithographing facilities. . Insurance Adjusted. Representatives of the insur- ance companies which had in- sured the J. Hoff paint shop were in the city Saturdayand adjusted the loss to the stock. Mr. Hoff opened the shop this morning and will do business from now on at the same old stand. Mr. and Mrs. J. Hall Taylor, who have spent-a couple_of days the guests of Samuel Letcher, left this morning for their home in Chicago.

The foot ball game yesterday afterncon between Bemidji and Grand Rapids on the local grounds ended in a tie neither side beingable to score. Bemidji was much lighter than their op ponents, but held the line until the last part of the secor.d half, when Grand Rapids made gains with center rushes. The first half was played almost entirely on Grand Rapids’ ground, the Bemidji aggregation making headway on end plays and it looked at times as if they would score. Markham played good center and Smyth, Arnold, Per- kins, Getchell and Brannon did good work in their relative posi- tions. The second half was played largely on Bemidji’s ground, the Grand Rapids giants making good gains by center rushes. They fumbled the ball repeatedly but were very lucky, sometimes making gains after haying made a fumble. Neither side succeeded in making a touch- down and the game ended a tie, nothing to nothing, FLATTERING Attorneys Bailey & McDonald Pay High Compliment To the Pioneer. The Artz case, wherein Frank Artzischarged with the murder of Peter Weilander, is on in the dis- trict court today. The matter of securing a jury is proving to be|= a slow process inasmuch as Bai- ley & McDonald, attorneys for Mr. Artz, object to all jurors who are subscribers to the Pioneer, on the ground that the Pioneer | has published accounts of the murder and urged editorially the |§ necessity stamping out lawless- ness in Beltrami county. Inas- much as nine out of ten of the people of the county take the Pioneer the work of securing the jury proceeds very slowly. The Pioneer appreciates the hand- some compliment which Messrs. Bailey & McDonald pay to its in- fluence. Cause of Lockjaw. Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a bacillus or germ which ex- ists plentifully in street dirt. 1t is inactive so long as exposed to the air, but when carried beneath the skin, as in the wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is ex- cluded the germ is roused to ac- tivity and produces the most vir ulent poison known. These germs ay be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by ap plying Chamberlain’s Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is received. Pain Balm is an antiseptic and causes cuts, bruises and like injuries to heal without maturation and in one- third the time required by the usual treatment. Sold by Bar- ker’s Drug store. Council Meeting. A meeting of the city council will be held at the city hall to- night. The important feature of the meeting will be a discus- sion of ways and means whereby the Red Lake railway company can be induced to build the road into thiscity. The memb rs of the council feel that the building of the railway into this city means much to its business men and every effort will be made by them to secure the terminus for Bemidji. 7 T. J. Miller informs the Pioneer that it was an error Sat- urday evenirg in stating that Willian Sherman had purchased a half interest in his business in- asmuch as Mr. Sherman does not own a dollars worth of the business and is connected with it simply on a commission basis. John O’Dale came down from Tenstrike this morning, where he has operated asaw mill for some time past. Mr. O’Dale re- cently sustained a serious acci- dent in having two of his fingers nearly cut off in a saw. He left for Ashland, Wis., this afternoon to take charge of a saw mill in that city.
