i H | 1 | T e ANOTHER SAWMILL Rumors Are That Bemidji Will Have Another Manu- facturing Institution. MINNEAPOLIS MEN SAID TO BE THE PROMOTERS. C. A. Smith, Interested in New Railway, Claimed to Have Building in View. A rumor which has gained some credence among business men of Bemidji is to the effect that with the coming of spring the erection of another large sawmill in this city will be com- menced. The beleif that the new Red Lake, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway now under construction ‘would result in the establishment of several industrial enterprises has been prevalent for some time past, but no definite statement caneven now be gained from those who are thought to be the promoters of the new mill. C. A. Smith, the Minneapolis lumberman. is the owner of sev- eral hundreds ofacres of valu- able timber lands in the country traversed by the new railway and it is stated by those who claim to have inside information that he will be at the head of a com- pany which will erect a lumber manufactory in this city in order tosave thecost of transporting his logs by rail to Minneapolis, which would cost considerably more than if they were taken to this city, sawed into lumber and afterwards transported to the markets. The establishment of another large mill in this city would re- sultin the employment of hun- dreds of men and would bea direct benefit to every business man in Bemidji. Notwithstanding these reports, it is believed by some that Mr. Smith, upon the completion uf the road, will ship his logs through to Minneapolis. If this proves to be true the road will injure the city in that it will take away much of the raw material which would otherwise be manu- factured at the mill now in opera- tion here, thus cutting down the supply of timber and shortening the life of the present establish- ment. W. C. Currie was a passenger for Duluth this afternoon for a short business visit in that city. For carriage painting see J. A. Hoff, rear Swedback block. PRINCESS Grocery Co.

A townsite has been platted on the homestead of Peter Malterud situated at the southwest corner of Mud Lake, directly north of Lake Julia. The spot upon which the new town will be located is on the survey of the new Red Lake railway and is said to be an ideal place for a city. Other townsites are being contemplated and it is probable that three or four towns will be located along the line be- tween Bemidji and Red Lake. COL. TAYLOR A CANDIDATE Bemidji Man Aspires to Be Commissioner of Itasca State Park. Col. J. P.

BORDER PIONEER DIES IN FIRE Original Owner of Little Fork Townsite Meets Horrible Death. In a fire which destroyed the saloon of Adam Scarlett at Little Fork last Tuesday, William Slin- gerland a pioneer resident of the border country was burned to death. - News of the fire reached International Falls today. Slingerland homesteaded the orignal plat of Little Fork and sold the town site a few days ago. He was well known among the people in the northern part of the county and in earlier days was ever ready to offer shelter and comfort to a new settler com- ing the north woods. Whether he has any relatives living is not known, as he had always lived alone. and was not given to talk- ing of his personal affairs. He had been looking after the saloon of Mr. Scarlett since it was open- ed up and occupied a room in the rear. When the fire broke out he was awakened and made a des- perate attempt to reach the door but was unable to do so. This is the second destructive fire at Little Fork during the last year and the people are most for- tunate that this one did not result in great destruction of property. Republican Committee Is Short. At the present time about $100 in bills remains outstanding against the republican county committee which con®ucted the campaign in Beltramicounty last fall, and although numerous at- tempts have been made by Chair- man Olson and other members of the committee to secure the nec- cessary funds with which to make good the amount it has not as yet been forthcoming. Mr. Olson says that another attempt will be made in the near future and he thinks that he will be suc- cessful in securing the necessary money with which to pay the bills. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY.

SQUAW DEAD IN SNOW Well Known Chara_éter About Walker Found Tuesday Frozen to Death. WAS IN WALKER DURING PRE- VIOUS EVENING. Left for Reservation Alone After 0Having Imbibed Rather Freely in Liquor. . Mayme Canine, an Indian squaw who'is well known in Wal- ker, was found, dead in a snow drift a short distance from that: city on Tuesday morning.” She had been in Walker the evening vrevious and had taken a number of drinks of whiskey and when she started out for the reserva- tion alone was in an intoxicated condition. It is thought that she wandered out of her path, finally lying down in the snow drift which caused hér death. The squaw was a full blooded Indian and has made the reserva- tion her home for many years. She was well known to the people of Walker and visited that city frequently buying groceries and other provisions with which to supply her tepee. Shz became addicted to the liquor habit, however, and of late has became intoxicated anumber of times but always managed to make her way home. Shedrank alarger amount than usual the last time, however, and it is thought that this, combined with the intense cold that prevailed, served to benunb her, causing her to lie down in the snow drift. “The remains of the squaw will be turned over to the Indian offii- cialson the reservation for burial. DECISION IS AFFIRMED Judge Spooner Sustained in Supreme Court in Case of Neils vs. Hines. Attorney E. F. Crawford has recently returned from St. Paul, where he appeared and present- ed arguments before the supreme court in the case of J. Neils Lum- ber company ys. Wm. M. Hines, which was decided for the de- fendant by Judge Snooner at the fall term of district court. The case involved a title to logs which were cut down by the Iumber company upon land which was afterwards purchased by Mr. Hines. The facts in the case are as follows: The land and timber originally was owned by the Northern Pacific railway com- pany, who sold it to the Scanlon- Gibson Lumber company. The timber was afterwards transferred by them to the J. Neils Lumber company, who took a timber deed upon the standing pine, and the land was sold to one Ludwig. Ludwig afterwards transferred the title to the land to Wm. M. Hines. The J. Neils company installed lumber camps upon the land and cut down the timber, putting their stamp mark upon the ends. -Upon legal advice Mr. Hines sawed off the ends of the logs and placed his mark upon them, claiming the logs by virtue~ of the fact that they were situated upon his land. The lumber company brought suit to recover the logs and the case was argued in dis- district court last fall, Judge Spooner rendering a decision for the defendant. It was appealed to the supreme court, where the decision was upheld. The caseis oneof the mest important ever tried in the county, asit establishes a pre- cedent which will be followed by the courts of the state in cases of a similar nature. A Frightened Horse.
