FOUL PLAY IS HINTED Mysterious Disappearance of Northome Man Gives Rise to Much Talk. MAN INHERITS FORTUNE AND VANISHES IN ST. PAUL. Opinion Prevalent at Northome That he Was Murdered in Saintly City. Otto Schmidt, who inherited a large sum of money from rela- tivesiin Germany a short time ago, and who went to Saint Paul last week,is said to have met with foul play in the saintly city, asnota word has been heard from him since he left North- ome and although the police of St. Paul have made a thorough search for the missing man not a trace of him has been found. Itis common talk among the people of Northome that Schmidt has been “spotted’” ever since his inheritance of the fortune, which amounted to $16000, and it is claimed by some that his arrival in St. Paul was known to one of the toughest gangs of crooks that ever infested the horthwest- who, it is believed, made hisac- quaintance and afterwards robbed him of the money, per- haps committing murder in order to accomplish their end. It is certain that Schmidt had the money upon his person at the time he left Northome, and the fact that nothing has been heard of him by his friends coupled with his mysterious dis- appearance gives rise to the be- lief that he has met with foul play. BIG BOOM AT HINE’S SPUR Many Buildings Being Erect- ed as Result of the Col- ony Agitation. Much agitation has been stirred up among the people of the north by the announcement that a colony would be estab- lished near Blackduck in the near future, and already a large number of buildings are under construction at Hines’ Spur, which is situated a few miles south of Blackduck. The build- ings being erected areall modern. first-class structures, one being a three story bmldmv which w1ll be used for hotel purposes. About thirty cottages will be built in the near future, it is stated upon good authority, but as to what use these will be put has not developed as yet. Nothing can be better than the best—Mark’s lung Balsam is the best. Subscribe for the Pioneer. PRINCESS Grocery Co. Lettuce Spinach Young Radishes Onions Celery Extra Select Oysters.

Princess Grocery Co WOLVES ARE NUMEROUS Ranks of Deer and Moose Depleted by Invasion of Hungry Beasts. BIG FORK COUNTRY LITERALLY ALIVE WITH BRUTES. Trails Near Ripple Strewn With Carcasses of Big Game Killed by Wolves. Never in the history of north- ern Minnesota have the wolves been so thick as they are this winter, and the inroads made by the fierce brutes upon deer and moose in the Big Fork country have resulted ina depletion of the ranks of the big game that has never been equalled. Inthe vicinity of Ripple the howls of the animals are heard nightly by residents in that vicinity, and it is hardly safe for a person to venture beyond the confines of his yard or garden, as the wolves seem to be unusually hungry. A gentleman who arrived yes- terday from his claim near Rip- ple states that on the trail lead- ing from Ripple to Northome he came across the smoking car- casses of two deer which had been killed and+devoured by the hungry animals, and the bones of many more were visible from the roadside. He says that thousands of wolves inhabit the deep swamps surrounding the Big Fork town, and hardly a day passes but the cries of a hunt- ing party of the animals can be heard distinetly. Hunters who have spent the season in the vicinity of Ripple report the same condition of aff- airs and declare that it was as much as taking their lives in their hands to venture far away from the campfire during the night time. A number of gentlemen from Bemidji who have spent several seasons hunting wolves are pre- paring to leave for the Big Fork country and the necessary traps, poison and other equipment for killing the wary beasts have been procured and a war will be waged against the wolves untill a large number are exterminated. Leap Year Ball. _ An elaborate leap year ball has been planned at Glidden’s Hall in Nymore for Saturday eyening of this week. Special music has been secured for the occasion and the dance will doubtless be one of the most enjoyable of the many for which Mr. Glidden has been famous this season. Ar- rangements have been made for the serving of an elaborate lunch and the “Leap Year Ball” bids fair to eclipse anything in the line of a social hop which Ny- more has thus far attempted, Clothes Stolen at Kelliher. The local police have received a letter from Kelliher requesting that a sharp lookout be kept up in this city for the appearance of a number of thieves who have operated in Kelliher for some time past. Overcoats and other articles of wearing apparel have disappeared from business estab- lishments in that city and it is thought that the thieves have come to Bemidji. Dr. Foster Returns. Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Foster and family returned last night from St. Louis, where they took in the World’s Fair. The doctor is loud in his praise of the exposition, and says that the Minnesota ex- hibit is the best advertisement the state has ever had, particu- larly the fruit exhibit seat from the ‘southern part of the state. Good Show. The entertainment given last night by the Martin moying pic- ture company was very ‘well at- tended and the show given was enjoyed by all. A large number of the latest illustrated songs were rendered by Mr. Martin and the moving pictures shown were the latest productions of the photographic craft. Didn’t Live at Tenstrike. The Pioneer in error stated a few days ago that Mr. J. J. Con: ger had moved his household goods from Tenstrike to Bemidji and would make his future home here with his family. Mrs. Con- ger states that they never lived ab Tenstrike, but Mr. Conger stopped there off and on for a number of months. Amateur Theatrical Troupe. A number of young people of Blackduck have joined them- selves together into an amateur theatrical troupe and entertain- ments have been given in that city and at Northome The per- formances are said by witnesses M. E. CARSON, Mgr Phone 282 to be first class and an effort to secure their appearance in Be- midji ma.y be made. WHERE IS YOUR BOY? Skating Dangerous Because of Many Holes Made in The Ice. HOLES FOR NETS MADE NEAR M. & 1. DEPOT. Lake Frozen Over But Not at All Safe In Many Places. The ice along the shore near the foot of Third Street has been thronged the past few days with children enjoying the first of the winter’s skating. Young Amer- ica will not be denied this, one of the keenest of winter’s pleasures, even though it is taken upon the very edge of great peril. The Pioneer is informed that the ice between the Minnesota & International depot and the foot of Third street is entirely unsafe owing to the large number of holes that have been made to al- low nets being taken outof the water, and parents should see to it that their children are not per- mitted on this strip of ice. It is easy to say that the ice is per- fectly safenear shore but itis still easier for a child, in midst of the mirth and excitement en- gendered by the ice and numer- ous companions, should acei- dently stumble upon a hole or that he should venture farther out than the ice is at present safe. Every drowning that has oc- curred in the early skating sea- son is due to overconfidence. WOODMEN HOLD NOMINATION Officers for Ensuing Year Chosen at a Meeting Last Night.
