NORTHOME AROUSED Citizens Will Make Every Effort to Locate Where- abouts of Otto Schmidt. REPORT OF FOUL PLAY CLAIMED TO BE AUTHENTIC. No Doubt in Minds of Many That He Was Robbed and Pos- sibly Murdered. Up to the present time not a word has been heard from Otto Schmidt, the Northome man who mysteriously disappeared in St. Paul a few days ago, and the citi- zens of the up line town are con- fident that he has been robbed and possibly murdered. The people are much wrought up over - the affair and will make every ef- fort to locate the man whether dead or alive, and already one man has left for St. Paul who will take measures whereby he expects to learn the fate of the missing Teuton. It is claimed that upon the ar- rival of Schmidt in St. Paul he alighted from the train at the last stop before reaching the un- ion depot in that city and since that time nothing has been seen nor heard of him although the police have been notified and made a vigorous search. Suspie- ion is said to point strongly to- ward two men who have made Northome their home for some time past, who, it is hinted, are connected with a gang of robbers in the seintly city. Schmidt has lived upon the homestead of A. K. Skarro, a Min; neapolis physican, up to the time of his inheritance of a large sum of money from relatives in Ger- many, and is considered by the people of Northome as being a sober and industrious laborer. When he received the money it ‘was no more than natural that he shouid celebrate his good fortune in a fitting style, and he bought drinks and proceeded to have a good time for a number of days, afterwards sobering up and act- ing the part of a good citizen. The search for the missing man will be continued until some defi- nite clue as to his whereabouts and should it be found that he has been robbed, arrests will follow. “Lucky”” Apprehended. Sheriff Bailey returned yester- day from Grand Forks bringing with him a gambler well known in the city as “Lucky’” who is suspected of having a hand in the robbery of a woodsman which occurred some two weeks ago in a saloon in the lower end of vhe business part of the city, The hearing will take place Monday.

A crew of men started work this morning upon the shell of the Swedback block now stand- ing at the corner of Beltrami avenue and Fourth street remov- ing the debris and tearing down the woodwork from the ruined building preparatory to rebuild- ing the structure. The building will be made a brick veneered structure, as it was before the fire, and the brickwork now left standing will be used as much as possible. In many places it will be necessary to tear down the wall, as the intense heat occas- ioned by the fire cracked the bricks to such an extent that the solidity of the building would be vastly decreased should they be allowed to remain, Mr. Swed- back said that no estimate of the cost of rebuilding could be made at the present time, although ha was almost certain that it would exceed the amount of insurance he received by several thousands of dollars. The work of recon- struction will be in charge of J, 0. Olson. RUMORS OF R. R. EXTENTION Northome People Believe That M. & 1. Will Be Ex- tended Next Spring. It is confidently beleived by the people of Northome that the ex- tension of the Minnesota & Inter- national railway, the terminus of which is now located in the city, will be extended to Ripple as soon as spring comes. No reason is given for the belief, but the rumor has been preyalent for some time and it is known positively that the company has contemplated the extension, although the time of its culminationhas not been given out. Should the road be ex- tended to the Big Forktown next summer it will open up a vast stretch of rich agricultural and timber land heretofore untouched and wlll be the means of develop- ing the north country into a pros- perous section, and Bemidji will receive untold benefits from its location as the base of supplies for towns situated on the M. & I. north of this city.

Mr. Palmer formerly conducted the Kell:her Journal but upon its transfer from the hands of Mar tin & Christenson withdrew from the newspaper business. County Re-Imbursed. County Treasurer ['rench is in receipt of a check from the state treasurer in the amount of $200, which is given as a re-imburse- ment for the money paid to Chief Bailey last fall as reward for the capture of John McGuire, the man sentenced to Stillwater up- on being convicted of stealing a horse from a barn near the post- office of Alida.

Truth of Importation of Negroes to Blackduck Township is Questioned. It canbealmostcertainly stated at the present time that a Dowie colony will be established at Hines’ spur, situated between Tenstrike and Blackduck, and little doubt exists in the minds of the residents in that section as to the object of Mr. Hines in securing options upon the large tracts of land in that vicinity. In spite of the fact that Jabez Hines, agent for the company which furnishes capital for the purchase of the lands, has de- nied that he will found a colony of true followers, the fact that active operations in the building line are under construction lends color to the belief that the colony is an assured fact, An- other circumstance which tends to discredit Mr. Hines’ denial is the construction of 30 cottages upon the land owned by him. Itis claimed that these will be used asresidences by the colo nists as soon as completed Should the second Zion city materialize, it will be operated entirely independent of the one owned by Alexander Dowie, and will be strictly a Beltrami county enterprise. The report that a negro colony would be established at Black- duck is discredited now, as an inkling into the business of the mysterious company has been gained which probably does away with the negro theory. Quilting Party. A quilting party was held last night at the homeof Mr.and Mrs. C. Lyon, and a number of the friends of the hostess, Miss Car- olyn Keihm, were in attendance.
