ARTZ CASE CONTINUES Seven Witnesses Have Been Examined in Murder Trial of F. J. Artz. SELF DEFENSE GIVEN AS REA- SON FOR KILLING. Case Will in All Probability Be Completed Tonight. The case of the state of Minne- sota vs. I, J. Artz is still in pro- gress at the court house and it is probable that the state’s case will be completed this evening. Seven witnesses had been ex- amined up to three o’clock this afternoon and the state v .1l prob- ably rest after the testimony of one or two more witnesses, The witnesses who have been called so far are: Carl A. Bergland, L. L. Bjorge, L. O. Rask, John P. Rust, Dr. E. H. Marcum, F. A. Gabriel and Ole Olson. With the exception of Dr, Mar- cum, ail the witnesses in the case are homesteaders who live on the Battle river, the scene of the killing of John Weilander last spring by Artz. The testimony so far has es- tablished definitely that Weilan- der was killed by Artz, but there is some question as to whether the dred was committed in self defense, According to the evi- dence Weilander had been quar- relsome during his stay in the Battle river country and disputes between him and Artz had been frequent. At the time of the shooting Weilander came to the land of Artzand attempted to en- ter upon the premises of the lat- ter. He was informed by Artz that should he come any farcher than the line between the two claims, one of which was owned by Artz and the other by Weilan- der, he would suffer the conse- quences. He came steadily for- ward, however, it is claimed by some of the witnesses of the shooting, and Artz, who carried arifle in the hollow of his arm pulled the trigger. Tmmediately upon this Weilander whipped out a revolyer and fired at Artz, but the shot went wild. Artz then took aim at Weilander and flred, the bullet taking effect in the back. Weilander fell and died a few hours later. The claim of Artz is sitnated ir section 36, township 152, range 52, and is heavily timbered with white pine. The title to the land was claimed by both Artz and Weilander and much trouble had taken place between the two men previous to the shooting. Dance Saturday. A dance will be given at the Glidden hall Saturday night and all are cordially invited to attend. The best of music will be fur- nished for the occasion. PRINCESS Grocery Co.

Highest Price Paid Was $8.30 Per Acre For Land Said to Be Worth $20. Thirty-eight one hundred and sixty acre tracts of newly opened Red Lake reservation land were sold to homesteaders by the United States land officials at Crookston at the first day’s sale at prices ranging from $4,00 to £8.30 per acre and the goyern- ment officers were enriched thereby to the extent of $6,027. All of the officials of the office are highly pleased with the result of sale and Colonel O’Brien stated last evening that he hardly ex- pected the first day would bring such heavy bidding. The sale is of course handicapped by the fact that the main sale at which the best of the land was picked up was held at Thief River Falls. During the next ten days, the time set for the continuance of the sale, however, it is quite like- ly that the greater portion of the land will be disposedof. Some 1,000 quarter sections are on hand for sale at prices ranging from $4 up and a great deal of it is of prime quality. Register Peterson, Colonel O’Brien and Frank Montague are handling the sale at the city hall and Re- ceiver A. F. George and Clerk Malone are stationed at the office to take in the money. After the discontinuance of the sale in ten days all lands in the reseryation opening still re- maining unsold will be placed on tile for saleat the land office ac- cording to the regular custom in vogue with all the land opened under the Steenerson bill, and settlers may procure selections at the regular $4 price. Five years hence the lands that still remain will be sold to the highest bidders at public sale without the provisions of the homestead laws being attached, bnt land office oficials do not believe that there will be a great deal of the land left at that time. FOR BIG GAME Hunting |Licenses are Just Be- ing Sent Out to County Auditors. The state has been slow this {year in providing counties with the hunting licenses required by law for hunting big game. These licenses are now being sent out to the county auditors although Beltrami county has not yet re- ceived its quota. Anvplications thus far have been few, however, and the county will probably be supplied in a few days. The hunting licenses have un- dergone no practical change from the form used last year, for the reason that the legislature has not yet had an opportunity of amending the existing gamelaws, if it should feel so disposed. Un- der the present game laws of Minnesota the season for shoot- ng deer, male moose or male caribou is from Noy. 10 to 30, Each hunter is permitted to kill three deer, one moose and one caribou. Thelaw prohibits tLe sale of the carcasses or their re- moval from the state. During the opened season the carcasses can be shipped provided the hunters license tag is attached, The licenses are for big game only. No license is needed by those who wish to hunt feather- ed game in season. Migrating. Kast bound Duluth trains now days arefilled to overfiowing with crowds of threshers and farm hands enroute to the woods for the season of life aud activity among the pine forests and in the camps, Last evening’s train was jammed to the doors with mackinawed woodsmen, half drunken harvest hands who had already ~qu ndered a half or more thau that of their season’s earnings in the felds and had in their pockets barely sufficient money to car them into Be- mwidji. Bemidjiis the mecca of all the woodsmen and it is esti- mated by logging contractors that men for the woods areeasier to procure atthat place than in the large cities. From now on heavy trains enroute eastward may be expected while the traffic toward the west is gradually di- minishing.—Crookston Journal, There is no lever so powerful as plain and simple facts—Mark’s Lung Balsam will cure your| cough. HOME FOR WORKERS Novel Institution Conducted by Rev. J. R. Pratt at Albany, N.Y. SUPPORTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY. An Institution Unlike Any Other In Existence In The Country. A novel and interesting insti- tution is that conducted by Rev. J. R. Pratt’ at Albany, N. Y. Mr. Pratt is a Christian worker who works along different lines from those taken by most. He spends a good portion of each year holding evangelistic meet- ings throughout the country and during the past twenty years he has traveled and worked over a wide section of the United States. Most of his time, however, is spent in Albany, where he isat the head of what is known as a Home for Christian Workers. The howe occupies a four story building 25x100 feet, the build- ing being owned by a corporation whose object is to carcy the gos- pel to and better the physical condition of the people naturally within their sphere of in fluence There are now some fifteen workers in the ~home where instruction is given in Bi- le training, nursing, music and calisthenics. The members of the home live at the home build- ing and are allowed a small cash allowance forincidental expenses. How economically the home is conducted may be seen from the fact that the total of such allow- ance for all the workers of the home last year was but $1600. The home furnishes wissionar- ies to the churches that desire them, provides nurses for the poor and has established a sys- tem of house to house visitation, ministering to the needs of the worthy poor. The home is supported by the people of Albany. = All contribu- tions are private donations for the work and no attempt is made to present the needs of the home to the general public. In addition to the building oc- cupied by the home, thecorpora- tion owns a farm some miles out of Albany. In speaking of the relief work of the home among the poor, Rev. Mr. Pratt said to the Pioneer that the work is carried onin connection with the city poor officials. A regular black list of the undeserving poor is kept and experience has shown that about 70 per cent of the applications for relief are unworthy of assist- ance. IN THE CHURCH This Is Where the Devil Is to Be Found and Not in Saloons, Dives, Etc. The special evangelistic meet- ing now being held at the Pres- byterian church have during the past day or two given special at- tention to the Devil and Rev. J. R. Pratt who is conducting the meetings has voiced some ideas in regard to Satan which are probable novel to the general public. One of these is that the Devil puts in most of his time in the churches, theological schools, ete, and that he is not to be found in the saloon, the gambling house or other resorts commonly sup- posed to be his chief abiding places. Mr. Pratt declares that the Devil has no need to bother with these places—the weak- nesses of the flesh will keep them busy. but that his most fruitful field of labor is where he meets the most opposition—in the churches themselyes.

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be sur P d at the great popularity of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It not only cures colds and grip effectually and permanently, but prevents these diseases from re- sulting in pneumonia, It is also a certain cure for croup. Whoop- ing cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given. It con- tains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to baby as toan adult. It is pleasant to take. ~When all these facts are taken 1nto consid- eration it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are willing 9 take any other after 10 per cent is added to the origi- nal amount, 1 Barker’; having once.nsed it.
