COMMITTED |APPEAL TO TO ASYLUM, THE PEOPLE Two Beltrami County Men Will be Taken to Fergus Falls Tomorrow. OTTO YUKER AND NOAH BARN- HART VICTIMS OF INSANITY Unusually Busy Day in Probate Court Ends With Two Committments. Today was one of the busiest ever experienced by Judge Clark since he took upon himself the task of administrating the office of Judge of probate, and as a re- sult two men will be taken to Fergus Ifalls tomorrow morning by Sheriff Bailey for confinement in the state insano asylum. Otto Yuker, whose mind has been deranged by brooding over the loss of a girl he loved in Ger- many and a too presistent study of the bible, was committed by Judge Clark this afternoon. Yulker lives near Wilton, where he has annoyed his neighbors for some time past by reciting his tales of trouble to them until he was arrested yesterday upon a warrant sworn to by B. H. Major. Noah Barnhardt was committ- ed this morning, Barnhardtisa man 61 years of age who has liv- ed south of Solway for some time past. He was committed to the asylum at Fergus Falls early in December but after two weeks he was pronounced cured and re- leased from that institution, be- ing returned to the poor farm, where he had been removed some time before he was taken to Fer- gus Falls. Since his return he has steadily grown more violent until it was decided necessary to again send him to the asylum. Burned Oui. The fire department was called out this morning to &uench a blaze In the west end of towan and upon their arrival upon the scene of the blaze found the house of Thos. Wilson, a woodsman who has made Bemidji his home for several years past, in flames. The fire was quickly put out but not beforeall the household ef. fects and belongings of Mr. Wil- son had been destroyed, leaving himself and- Mrs. Wilson, who was lying on a sick bed, in desti- tute circumstances, The blaze started from an overheated stove pipe which ignited the wall pa- per.

VISITS OF PARENTS TO SCHOOL SHOULD BE MORE GENERAL Issues Earnest Invitation to All to Coeperate in Making Bemidji Schools the Very Best. Sup’tRitchie of the city schools has issued an open letter to the people of the city urging them to take a more active interest in the worl of the schools by giving the schools their personal attention, pleading that personal visits to the scliool room by parents will do more than any other agency to make the work of the schools successful. Mr. Ritchie’s letter is as follows: To the parents of [the Bemidji public schools: School reopened Monday, Jan. 9, with many new faces. Some of the familiar ones, however, have not yet returned; thisisa mistake. Parentscan hardly es- timate the injury and injustice done their children by keeping or permitting them to remain out of school, even for a few days. Each recitation should develope some new thing or idea and if the pupil is not present he will miss alink in the chain and thus be unable to go forward to the next step. Tardiness is also too common and should be discouraged at home as well as at school. This is the time of year that the best school work is done, hence all should be on time and ready for work. There will be no promotion from room to room at this time of year, but every pupil and every class will be ad- vanced just a8 rapidly as its men- tal development will warrant. No class or pupil is being kept back longer than prudence and justice will demand. Parents, be not too ready to tind fault with the teachers. Re- member that children see things though children’s eyes. When a seeming injustice has been done goand have a friendly conversa tion with the teacher, and nearly every time you will go away feel- ing better and realizing that the teacher was not so much to blame after all. One might think from the above that we have nothing but a tale of woe to give you. Far from it. I believe that the school was never in a better working condi- tion and that the school spirit among the pupils who attend regularly was never better. Step in to our grades and you will find pupils and teachers busy and enthusiastically engaged in their work. Come with me to the high school and I will show you a corps of instrucotrs and a -body of students who would do honor to any high school in the state. Again we say come and visit us often, Respectfully, A. P. RrrcHIE, PLAN TO DRAIN ALL STATE LAND Representative A. L. Cole of Walker Wants Comprehen- sive System Adopted. A definite and complete plan for the drainage of all swamp lands owned by the State of Min- nesota is provided by a bill intro- duced in the house yesterday by Representative A. L. Cole of Wal- ker, The plan is to be adopted by -| the state drainage board after a thorough survey by competent engineers, and submitted to the legislature of 1907, so that the expenditures of moneys appro- priated for the construction of drainage ditches may be limited to the fnrtherance of a perma- nent, adequate system of drain- age, The -bill' appropriates $25.000 to defray the cost of the surveys and preparing the plan of drain- age. ‘AFTERPOT . 'HUNTERS ; State Commission Will Use Vigorous Measureg to Pro- tect Fish and Game. | GAME WILL BE SPARED FOR USE | OF SETTLERS. Pot Hunters Will - Be Prosecuted! For Every Vielation of the Game Laws. Executive Agent S. F. Fuller- ton of the state game and fish) commission passed through the city this morning enroute to ‘St. Paul from Mizpah, where he ap- peared as a witness against W. B. Boyd of Brainerd and H. B. Ward of Fairmont, who were charged with having killed one cow moose on Nov. 14 and two cow moose on Nov. 18, in the town of Forest Grove, township 152, range 28, ‘located in Itasca county. The trial was heard be- fore Justice Covey of Mizpah but due to the non-appearance of the| principal witness against the men and a doubt of the crime haviag been committed, they were discharged. Bailey & Mec- Donald and H. A. Simons of this city appeared for the state. Although very few prosecu- tions have followed the violation of the game and fish laws by homesteaders and settlers living in the game belt of northern Min- | nesota, erroneous opinion as to the attitude of the game and fish commission has gained circula: tion, and many people believe that the laws are intended solely for the benefit of outside sports- men who visit this region during the hunting season. In order to disabuse the minds of the people regarding this, it may be said with comparative safety that the commission has for its object the protection of game and fish in order to preserve it for the peo- ple who live in the game belt-and who are virtually entitied to kill deer and moose and catch fish for their own cousumption, re- gardless of the time of year. One of the facts which go to support this statement is that in every case wherea northern Minnesota resident has been prosecuted for violating thegame laws and where a conviction has followed, it has been proven that wanton destruc- tion of game or selling it in the open market has been carried on. ‘While no member of the game and fish commission could be quoted as expressing himself in favor of allowing the violation of the laws by homesteaders, it is thought that the attitude of the commission to residents of the game and fish region of northern Minnesota is very favorable. MAY DISPOSE OF HIS PATENT W. B. McLachlan Goes to Detroit, Mich., to Confer With Auto Company. W. B. McLachlan, captain of che ‘“Moose,” who last fall se- cured a patent upon a speed changing gear which he invented, left this morning for Detriot, MecLachlan goes to Detroit at the request of the ‘Cadillac Automo- bile company of that city, who wish to test the invention with a view of purchasing the patent and applying the new device to tif®ir machines. A gear made after the plans of Mr. McLach- lan’s invention has been com- pleted for the trial and he will en- ter the shops of the company in Detroit and make a complete test of the invention. He will be ab- sent about a month. Incase the ‘device proves a success Mr. Mec- Lachlan will be in a position to demand a fabulous price for his patent rights, as it differs radi- cally ‘from ‘any speed changing i gear that has hitherto been used on automobiles.

COMMISSION HAS BEEN LAX Frequent Adjournment of Legislature Due to In- completion of. Code. Senator E. J. Swedback re- turned last night from St. Paul, where he has been attending the session of the state legislature. Mr. Swedback laments the fact that although both houses of the legislature were first called to order nearly two weeks ago, no: thing has been done, and says that the commission appointed four years ago to revise the code is largely responsible for the de- lay in getting started. He states that the commission have had four years time in which to make a revision of the law and have ex- pended $85,000, but are unable to present their report, conse- quently delaying the work of the lawmakers. The legislature has adjourned until next Monday. It is hoped that the report of the commission will be ready by Jan. 20. 3 Johnson & Lindeberg, proprie- tors of the Moose saloon, which was destroyed by fire Tuesday morning, have removed their fix- tures to the building on Minne- sota avenue formerly occupied by A. B. Hazen, where they will conduct the “New Moose’’ saloon. - AT THE GRILL HALL Saturday Evening, JANUARY 14th by the Great Pirri Comedy Co. Followed by Dancing Party, Tickets 75¢ per couple.
