LIVED ON BIG FORK “Shorty”” Wesley, Wanted for Dahl Murder, Spent Summer in Woods. WAS SECRETED IN CABIN OF HOMESTEADERS. Two Went to Duluth Together Where They Were Separ- ated August I17. A homesteader who lives on the Big Fork river east of Ripple was in the city yesterday and in an interview with the gentleman it was learned that during the whole summer, from the time of disappearance of the two Dahls, up to the middle of August last, he had harbored within his cabin “Shorty” Wesley, the man who is wanted for complicity in the murder of N. O. Dahl and daughter, Aagot. The man said that Wesley came to his cabin about the middle of April and asked for food and shelter. FHe represented that he had traveled far and was hungry and cold and wanted to rest a few days with the homesteader. The latter allowed him to stay for a few days and an acquaintance be- tween the two men sprang up which as it progressed devel- oped into friendship. The home- steader, having lived alone in the woods and being devoid of any company, asked Wesley to stay with him during the summer. This “Shorty” agreed to, promis- ing to help out in the work on the homestead. They lived together thus during the entire summer, and the gentleman says that his guest was always a willing work- er and the thought of his being even suspected of a grave crime never entered his mind. About the middle of August it became necessary for the home- steader to make a trip to Duluth on business connected with his claim, and together the two set out, arriving in that city a few days later. They stayed there for a couple of days but became separated in Superior on August 17, and since that time he has not seen any trace of Wesley. He was much surprised when he learned that his guest was suspected of being implicdted in the murder, and said that noth- ing in the actions of Wesley would indicate that he was a criminal. Baudette Case Appealed. Chas. Loring of Crookston, at- torney for Thos, Cathcart in the contest case which involves the townsite of Baudette, has receiv- ed notice from the department of the interior at Washington that the case has been appealed to the secretary of the interior.

Eyidence in the Spooner town- site case is being heard at Crookston before the land office officials and the case will be eon- cluded tomorrow. The Crooks- ton Times this morning claims that sensational evidence will be offered before the case closes to show that Mr. Gannon used a gun in enforcing his claims to the disputed land. According to the Times’ story Peter Running claims the same land claimed by Matt Gannon and avers that Mr. Gannon simply took possession of it during his absence after he (Running) had lived upon it for five years and improved it to the extent of $300. Running further alleges that when he came back to his claim to take possession Gannon used a rifie to persuade him to keep away. WILL INSTALL NOYEL DEVICE Jeweler E. A.

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Is Pleasant to Take. The finest quality of granulated loaf sugar is used in the manu- facture of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and the roots used in its preparation give it a flayor similar to maple syrup, making it quite pleasant to take. Mr. W. L. Roderick, of Poolesville, Md., in speaking of this remedy, says: “I have used Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy with my children for several years and can truthfully say it is the best preparation of the kind I know of. The children like to take it and it has no injurious after ef- fect. For sale by Barker’s Drug store. New Society Organized.

Speakership Fight Arouses General Interest Through- out State. NINTH DISTRICT MEMBERS LIE LOW. Understood that an Effort is Be- ing Made to Swing the Dis- trict to Frank Clague. The contest for speaker of the house of representatives is arous- ing general interest throughout the state. The leading candi- dates are N. F. Hugo of Duluth and Frank Clague of Lamberton, while W. B. Anderson of Winona, W. A, Nolan of Grand Meadow and R.J. Wells of Breckenridge are prominently mentioned. Where is the ninth congres- sional district in the fight? Tha Pioneer has reliable information to the effect that an organized at- tempt is being made to obtain the support of the district for Frank Clague, to whom the old MOE GETS BAIL FIXED AT $6000 John Moe Who Shot Nels Or- vik at Beltrami is Re- leased Yesterday an order was issued by Judge Watts releasing John Moe from the Polk county jail. Pioneer readers will remember the shootihg of Nels Orvik at Bel- trami some weeks since by Moe, who is well known in Bemidji. Orvik was running amuck in the village and Moe shot him in self defense. He was held to the petit jury at his examination because he admitted in the pre- limintary examination that he could have gotten away from Or- vik without shooting him. Judge Watts committed him to bail in the sum of $6,000. Yesterday the signatures of several sub- stantial business men of Crooks- ton were secured on the bond and Judge Watts issued the or- der for his release. He will at once resume his old position as assistant to Engineer George A. Ralph. Moe has spent most of his time during the past two years with Mr. Ralph and he has never tended bar except a day or two to accommodate members of the house for the ninth district are disposed to give their support. It is said that if the matter could be left to a vote of the old members the ninth district would be pledged to Clague within 48 hours. N. F'. Hugo of Duluth, who is perhaps the leading candidate throughout the state for the place, has warm supporters in the ninth district however among whom Representative Simons is said to be one and it is probable that the vote will be quite evenly dividly between Hugo Clague. Representative Wells of Breckenridge some time ago de- clared that he would be a candi- date. It does not appear at present that he can muster enough strength to make his election at all probable, but should he determine to stick as a candidate he would doubtless be accorded at least a complimen- tary vote of the ninth district members. The ninth congressional dis- trict embraces the 59,60, 61, 62 and 63rd legislative districts and has thirteen members in the house of representatives. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County.—ss.

Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal; South Afri- ca, says: “As a proof that Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy is a cure suitable for old and young, I pen you the following: A neigh- ber of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it. I sug- gested that if they would get a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and put some upon the dummy teat the baby was suck- ing it would no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby.” This remedy is for sale by Barker’s Drug store. company and as manager has built up the present metropolitan newspaper.
