LOOK ALIKE TO IVERSON State Auditor Says Practice of Stealing State Timber Must be Stopped. BIG AND LITTLE THEIVES WILL BE PROSECUTED. Trespassers on State 'Lands will Be Treated Without Fear Or Favor. “The practice of unscrupulous individuals in trespassing upon timber lands owned by the state must be stopped,” said State Auditor S. G. Iverson yesterday, “‘and every violation of the laws relative to trespassing will be followed by vigorous prosecu- tion, regardless of who the offen- der happens to be, whether he is a millionaire lumberman or a poor homesteader. In late years the number of trespass cases re- ported to the office of the state auditor has been smaller than heretofore, and as a consequence few prosecutions have been in- stituted. Nevertheless, a few have occured and as soon as re- ported to the office the offenders have been arrested and dealt with according to law.” “They all look. alike to me. Every man who takes timber from the state lands without hav- ing first paid for the land will be prosecuted to the fullest extent, and one and all are cautioned against trespassing, as.stringent measures will be adopted to stop the practice. Competent men have been hired to patrol the lands owned by the state and in every case where a trespass is made the fact is immediately re- ported to the auditor’s office and the offender is arrested.’’ Mr. Iverson also talked on the drainage proposition, declaring that he was heartily in favor of any legislation that would favor- ably affect this part of the state. He realizes the importance of draining the large areas of state swamp lands located in Beltrami and Itasca counties, and will use his influence to bring about measures that will tend to better the condition of northern Minne- sota. State Treasurer Julius H. Block, who accompanied Mr. Iverson, stated that his position was identical with thatv of the state auditor regarding the drainage proposition. ¢The bill introduced by Representative Cole of Walker is a good one and should receive the hearty sup- PRINCESS Grocery Co.

George Handy, the well known lumberman of this city, is at present out on bonds for his ap- pearance at the next term of dis- trict court of Hubbard county, charged with having assaulted a farmer living a few miles from Park Rapids with a dangerous weapon. Mr. Handy is engaged as superintendent for the Pine|_ Tree Lumber company and a dis- pute arose between himself and the farmer as to whether or not the company had a right to put a logging road through Jand owned by the farmer. When the first sleigh load of logs came from the woods enroute to the landing the farmer was on guard with a Win- chester rifle. Mr. Handy, it is claimed, knocked the rifle out of his hands, afterwards adminis- tering a severe drubbing to the farmer. His arrest speedily fol- lowed. WAS DOPED AT CASS LAKE Patient at County Poor Farm Says Cass Lakers Relieved Him of $700 in Cash. Fred McDonald, an inmate of the county poor farm for the past two ‘weeks, claims that at Cass Lake shortly before he came to Bemidji he was given *‘dope”” at one of the refreshment parlors in that city and relieved of 700 in money which he carried with him. McDonald gives out the story that he was drinkingat a number of saloons in Cass Lake but after he had taken a drink in the last one he visited he became unconscious and did not come to for several hours. Upon awaken- ing he found that all his money had been taken from his pockets, and he came to Bemidji. He was taken sick shortly after his arri- val and confined at the county hospital, where he has remained ever since. It is probable that an investigation of the affair will be made. SNOW T0O0 DEEP FOR LOGGERS Lumbermen in Vicinity of Duluth Complain of Too Much Snow. The loggers of northern Min- nesota complain that in c¢ftain sections of the territory in Wwhich they are operating, the snow is becoming too deep for success- ful results. The snow is unusu- ally deep for this time of the win- ter. In Cook county there is nearly four feet and there is not less than eighteen inches in this section. The bulk of the snow- fall in this region usually comes after January 15, and six or eight inches more of snow will seri- ously embarrass the loggers everywhere in this partof the state. To make matters worse thereislittle frost in the ground, and the swamps are frozen. In some cases the loggers have a hundred men doing nothing but tramping down snow to make roads. Council Meeting. A regular meeting of the city council was held last night at the city hall. Little business of im- portance beyond allowing a few bills and other routine work was transacted. - port of every member of both houses of the legislature,” said Mr. Block. “An extensive plan for drain- ing the state lands, such as Mr. Cole has introduced, seems the most feasible of any that have been presented .so far, and in my estimation it would resultina vastiamovnt of good for this part of the state.”’ Messrs. Iverson and Block left this morning for Walker, where the annual land sale for Cass county will be held. LEFT RICHES TOBEPRIEST Father Thomas Borgerding, Red Lake Priest, Is Uni- que Character. IS SON AND HEIR TO FRENCH NOBLEMAN. (ame to America When Young and Took Up His Wprk Wlth the Indians. Father Thomas Borgerding, priest at the Red Lake Agency, is perhaps one of the most uni- que characters of which northern Minnesota can boast. Born and reared in France at the home of his father, whois a member of the French nobility, Father Thomas received a liberal educa- tion, was supplied with every- thing which he could wish for and lived happily until he became 2 young man. When in his ’teens he decided to be a priest, and in spite of vigorous opposition by his parents, the young man en- tered a college which prepared him to go forth into the world and offer religion to those who would partake. After hecom pleted the course, he at once de- cided to go to America, and leav- iug all] the fortune which right- fully was his portion of ar estate valued at many thousands of dol- lars, he came to the United States. After having traveled extensively throughout the United States, he finally came to northern Minnesota, and in the year 1888 settled at Red Lake, having accepted a government position as priest of the Chippe- was on the Red Lake reservation, The simplicity of the Red Man and the need of’Some one to teach him religion, appealed to Father Thomas, He at once set about tolearn the language and in a short time had mastered the dialect and:could talk fluently. After several years of hard work among the Indians he finally in- terested some of them in religion and a few joined the church at Red Lake. Frequent trips through the reservation resulted in increasing the membership of the church, until at last Father Thomas wa's known to every man, woman and child, Having re- ceived a good medical training in France, Father Thomas always carries with him o6n these trips a small medicine case from which he administers to the sick and wounded Indians, aud he has be: come known as a great healer to the Red Lake Chippewas. At present his congregation consists of 140 families who at- tend services at the Red Lake church regularly, and the total membership exceeds 700 per- sons. UNCONSCIOUS A WHOLE WEEK Harry Newford Has Been in Peculiar Condition Since Fire Last Week. One of the most peculiar cases of unconsciousness ever treated by the officials at the county poor farm is that of Harry Newford, who on the day of the fire last week fell down a flight of stairs at the Merchants hotel in this city and broke his arm, after- wards going to bed. He fell into a deep sleep from which he has not yet fully awakened, and it is all his attendants can do to arouse him to take medicine that is being administered to him. He has been growing somewhat better of late, however, and it is hoped by the physicians that he will finally be restored to his normal condition. Oldest County Charged is Dying. 0. J. Hyde, the oldest inmate of the county poor farm, is in a very critical condition as a result of several strokes of paralysis, and his death is daily expected by County Health Officer Blakes- lee and Overseer Sprague. The man is 71 years of age and has been a county cha.rge since June, 1902. Subscribe for the Pioneer. MINNEAPOLIS Wedding of F. S. Arnold and Miss Elizabeth M. Ride- nour Occurre\d Tuesday. The wedding of Frank S. Arn- old and Miss Elizabeth M: Ride- nouroccurred at Minneapolis last Tuesday afternoon in the pres- ence of a few friends of the con- tracting parties. Mr. and Mrs. Arnold returned to Bemidji last night and have engaged rooms at the residence of M. D. Stoner on Lake Boulevard, where they will make their future home. Mr. Arnold is one of the most widely known men in Beltrami county. He came to Bemidji when the town was a mere ham- let and engaged in the law busi- ness with L. H. Bailey. He after- wardssevered his connection with Mr. Bailey and entered the office of the register of deeds, where he, together with M. Phibbs and Frank Snyder, formed the Bel- trami County Abstract company. He has been connected with the company since its organization. Miss Ridenour is also a pio- neer of Bemidji, having lived in the city the past six years. She has been connected with law firm of Bailey & McDonald for a num ber of years past and has made a remarkable record as a stenog- rapher. She is well known in the city’s social circles and has al- ways been one of the most popu- lar young ladies of Bemidji. The Pioneer joins with the large number of friends of Mr, and Mrs. Arnold in wishing them success and happiness. INDIANS EXPECT THEIR MONEY Red Lake Chippewas Are Anxiously Awaiting First Payment for Lands. B The first payment by the gov- ernment to the Red Lake Indians for lands sold at Thief River Falls last fall, is now due, and it probable that the payment will be made before Feb. 1. The first installment will be 20 per cent of ‘the amount to be paid for the lands, and will amount to about $170,000. Ithad been previouly reported that the payment would not be made until June 1, but this report was erroneous, as the governnient agreed to make the first payment 90 ‘days after the sale had taken place. J. G. Mor- rison who conducts a store and hotel at Red Lake, has just re- turned from a trip to Duluth and the Twin Cities, where he pur- chased a large stock of merchan- dise in order'to be prepared for the rush of business which will be prevalent when the Indians receive their checks. A Grim Tragedy is daily enacted, in thousands of homes, as death claims, in each one, another victim of consump- tion or pneumonia. But when coughs and colds are properly treated, the tragedy is averted. F. G. Huntley, of Oaklandon, Ind. writes: “My wife had the con- sumption, and three doctors gave her up. Finally she took Dr. King’s New Discovery for con- sumption coughs and colds, which cured her, and today she is well and strong.” It kills the germs of all diseases. One dose relieves.

At Greenbush, the terminus of the Great Northern’s extension from Thief Riyer Falls, the offi- cers made a raid upon all gam’ ling devices in use Sunday morn- ing and all slot machines, roulette wheels and poker tables were piled in a heap in the middle of the streetand fired. The county commissioners of Roseau county held a meeting last week and is- sued orders to the sheriff to take action to stop gambling, hence the destruction of the gamblers’ tools.
