BODY IS FOUND Body of Jacob Dryhaug, Shotley Postmaster Found Yesterday. CORONER HENDERSON LEAVES FOR RED LAKE. No Particulars Regarding Myster- ious Disappearance Are Obtainable. Dr. Henderson yesterday re- ceived a message from Shotley to the effect that the body of Jacob Dryhaug, postmaster and store- keeper at Shotley, who disap- peared so mysteriously about a month ago, has been found. The message conveyed no further intelligence whatever and Dr, Henderson leaves today for Shot- ley in his capacity of county coroner. Jacob Dryhaug disappeared Sunday, Oct, 22. He had] spent the day at the village of Shotley and about nine o’clock in the evening started for home by boat. The boat was found some three miles down the shore of the lake the next morning, but although diligent search was made by friends, neighbors and relatives no trace whatever of the missing man could be found until yesterday. At the time of his disappear- ance Mr. Dryhaug had on his person about $1,300 in money and checks, and there have been many rumors of foul play. De- velopments will be awaited with great interest. EAGLE’S DANCE SUCCESSFUL Large Crowd Attends Social Funetion at City Hall Last Night. The dance given, last night at the city hall by the local aerie of Eagles was one of the most suc- cessful events of its kind ever given in the city. A large crowd of young people were in attend- ance and everyone enjoyed the occasion to the fuil extent. ~The Bemidji orchestra furnished good music. The absence of objectionable characters was a noticeable feature and all those in attendance took part in the dancing. New Firm Starts Business. The new firm of. Fleming & Downs, who have puichased the hardware store of F. M. Malzahn, took possession of the store this morning. Both the gentlemen are well known in Bemidji, hav- ing been employed at the store of E. H. Winter & Co. for the past year. They have many friends in Bemidji and their success is shnost certain.

Bemidji was yesterday visited by one of the most destructive and obstinate fires in its history. At12:30 dense smoke was dis- covered pouring from the base- ment of the Swedback block on the south side from nnder the store room occupied by the Be- midji Mercantile Company. The department was on the scene within two minutes but the smoke proved so dense that en- trance into the basement and in- to thef urnace room from which the smoke was pouring proved impossible. Water was promptly turned on but the building is a brick ve- neered one, and it was soon evi- dent that the fire had crept up the walls and that the building was doomed. Three streams of water were played upon the building at various vantage points but although no fire what- ever could be seen dense vol umes of smoke continued to pour from the basement and later from the roof of the building. An immemse crowd had by this time gathered and willing hands assisted the tenants of the block to get out their goods. Dr. Brinkman lowered his goods from the front windows and Mrs. Jackson’s household effects and valuable collection of music were quickly taken from the rear. The valuable law library and papers of Bailey & McDon- ald suffered severely. When it became apparent that the fire could not be stayed the stock of the Bemidji Mercantile com- vany and the shoe stock of E. S. Straw was taken from the build- ing great loss being occasioned | by the haste of removal. The work of remoying goods from the second story was at- tended by great discomfort and considerable danger. The rooms were filled with smoke and sev- eral of the workers were nearly overcome, The day was chilly and the firemen had a most difficult task bu{ every man of them worked bravely and unceasingly. From 12:30 in the afternoon until 11 o’clock at night three streams of water were kept playing on the building. For several hours the flames did not appear at all, but toward night it looked as though nothing whatever could be saved of the building. The firemen kept doggedly at the work, how- ever, and their efforts were fin- ally successful in staying the progress of the flames and sav- ing the shell of the buiiding. The entire loss, as givenabove, aggregates almost $20,000 and of this amount the losers will re- ceive about $10,000 insurance which had been carried upon the goodsand building by theowners. The building was formerly the court house of Beltrami county and was remodeled three years ago by E. J. Swedback from a wooden building to a brick veneer structure, the lower rooms being.| occupied by stores and the upper ones for offices. Each of the ten- ants of the building have already looked uplocahons The Bemidji Mercantile company will remove its stock to the building formerly occupied by I.

Fire- Loss Ins. $4 000 4 000 1 500 2 000 2 000 § 19 600 $ 9 500 neys, will occupy the Miles block for a short time after which they will remove to the Hotel Mark- ‘| ham block, and the other tenants have looked up locations but have not as yet decided where they will locate. The most serious loss was felt by Mr. Swedback, as he valued the building at $8,000 and it is doubtful whether it could be re- placed for the amount. Bailey & McDonald, the attorneys, feel very sorry over the loss of anum- ber of valuable law books which were a part of their large library and which each member of the firm has striven to accumulate during the past twenty years. Many valuable files are also lost. Mr. Swedback will rebuild as soonas possible and intends to make the building a solid brick structure. He has already or- dered glass and other material to replace the damage done to the building and will commence the clearing away of the debris as soon as the insurance adjustment 1s made, Stray Embers. The crowd was as thick as the smoke. The fire cut off all lights last night from the Swedback block to the court house on Beltrami avenue, Three fireman remained at the ruined building during the whole night to see that no new fire broke out E. 8. Straw wishes to extend his heartfelt thanks to the fire- men and the citizens who did eyerything in their power to save + his property. The day was a quiet one. A strong wind from the south would have made it difficult to save the wooden buildings north of the Swedback block. The Straw shoe stock has been stored in the building formerly occupied by the Ross hardware store, where it awaits the coming of the insurance adjusters. Bailey & McDonald this morn- ing presented the fire depart- ment with a check for $25 in token of their appreciation of the faith- ful work of the department. Senator Swedback takes his loss very philosophically and speaks in the highest terms of the work of the firemen and of the assistance rendered by citi- zens. M. Ibertson was compelled to movye all his belongings out of his building next the burning build- ing. Mr. Ibertson’s building was not at all damaged by fire howver. The cause of the fire is a mys- tery. Several of the tenants had left the building but a few minutes before bhe alarm was turned in and none of them sus- pected fire. A big fire had been built in the furnace in order to carry over from yesterday noon until today. The furnace top is more than two feet from the ceil- ing, however, and the furnace was tightly closed. All the steam pipes in the basement were cov- ered with asbestos. A rigid in- spection this morning failed to Bailey & MecDonald, the attor- give any clue as to the cause of the fire. C. W.

HAS SECURED OPTIONS ON LANDS NEAR THAT CITY. Will Populate Territory With Big Colony of Negroes Direct From South. A prominent gentleman of this city who returued Wednesday from Blackduck gives out the in- formation that in the near future Blackduck township will be densely populated with negroes. He claims that Booker T. Wash- ington, the great orator and statesman, has already secured options apon most of the lands in the township and will soon close a deal whereby he becomes owner of them. The negroes will be transported direct from the southern states and will be provided with cabins in which to live and each will be alloted a_certain amount of land upon which toraise eatables for subgistence. It is claimed that Mr. Washington’s reason for wishing to locate a colony in Bel- trami county is for the purpose of education, as generally speak- ing the schools in the northern states are much better than in the south. Blackduck people are stirred up over the rumor and it is pos- sible that an organized attempt to prevent the settlement of the dusky people in that neighbor- hood may be made. BEMIDJI IS DEFEATED Park Rapids Foot Ball Team Victor Over Bemidji by Score of 16 to 0. The football game played yes- terday afternoon between Be- midji and Park Rapids on the grounds of the latter ended ina score in favor of Park Rapids of 16 to 0. Three touchdowns and one goal netted the team this score but it is claimed by those who witnessed the game that Be- midji put up the best game and it was due toluck in a large measure that the local team was defeated. Goodman played cen- ter instead of Markham and put up an excellent game and Peter- son at quarter played very good ball. The game was played al- most entirely in Park Rapids’ territory.
