| | | | COUNTRY IS UP IN ARMS Northern Towns Will All Send Delegates to Conven- tion at Blackduck. PROPOSITION TO LOWER W00D RATES WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. Matter Will Be Discussed at Length and Committee Will Go to St. Paul. There are few propositions agitated in northern Minnesota that have attracted the wide- spread attention and the hearty support of so many settlers and residents as the wood rate prob- lem, which will be discussed ata meeting of delegates to be held at Blackduck next Tuesday. Citi- zens of towns and villages, to- gether with the residents of coun- try districts, joinin demanding a lower rate from the railroads for hauling cordwood from northern Minnesota to the markets in the western part of this state and North Dakota, and from present indications there is little doubt but that the demand will be granted. I[f not granted by the railroad companies, the matter will be appealed to the railroad and warehouse commission. Every town affected by the rates now in force will send dele- gates to the convention, which will voice the sentiments of north- ern Minnesota in demanding that a rate be established whereby the settler who cuts his cordwood and hauls it to the market may realize somethiug for his stump- age. Under present conditions, there is no possibility of doing this unless the settler has enough ready money to first cut his wood and then allow it to season, and there are very few ' settlersin northern Minnesota who can af- ford to do this, as the country is new and in some sections wholly undeveloped. FELL FROM A BOX CAR Brakeman Narrowly Escaped Being Killed as Result of Accident. Crookston Journal: This morn- ing an accident occured on the Great Northern which might easily have resulted in the death of Brakeman Neil who was the victim. He was running along the top of the cars on the local freight early this morning before day light and fell near the Benoit station. One of the cars of the train was filled with horses and the harnesses were thrown on top of the car. Forgetting this or not being aware of the fact, Mr. Neil in running, stumbled over them and fell to the ground. He was badly bruised and shaken up but it is not beleived that he suffered any serious result. When he re- gained suflicient strength he managed to walk to a farm house where his bruises were dressed and then getting back to the tracks he flagged the passenger No. 35 and came in on that. In the meanwhile he had been miss- ed upon the arrival of the freight in this city and a switch engine had been sent back to look for him. They ran back as faras Erskine and gave up the search there, knowing that he had been with the train when it had passed through that village. Spring Millinery Opening.

Sydney Philips, the self con- confessed forger who passed a number of bogus checks in the city some time ago, was taken to Stillwater this morning and will . start serving his term of three years in the penitentiary tomor- row. Before leaving Philips ex- plained his reasons for attempt- ing to obtain money by forging checks. He stated that he had taken a claim in Canada last sum- mer and was married last fall. He came to northern Minnesota in August end worked for the Irwin and O’Brien company at their camp near Kelliher last winter, When he landed in Be- midji this spring he did not have sufficient money with which to make final proof upon his claim and took the forgery method of obtaining it. He secured the blank checks while working at the camp. LONE PINE CREEK. Four miles of road have been cut in Shotley township. Louis Johnson has just re- turned from the city with a stock of goods. The young people of this vicinity enjoyed a pleasant dancing party a short time ago. Miss Sophia Schultz, of Mil- waukee has built a commodious house on her claim. Land seekers have been looking over the country of lateand a few sections have heen changed. George Kline and Thomas Mandt have been successful in their trapping and have secured over $800.00 worth of fur. Bulman Bros. have completed there logging operations for the season and the entire cut of 3,500,000 has been landed on the lake. They still have a little tamarack left which will be cut next winter. ' Colonel Stevens and daughter, of Dodge Centre have taken claims here. The Colonel has a half mile of lake front and the place has been pronounced one of the most beautiful spots in north ern Minnesota. The steps of Christ Rogers are noticed to be more active of late on account of the prospects of the Red Lake railway extension, The seftlers all welcome the ex- tention of railroads to the prime- val forests of Minnesota. The election in Shotley result- ed as follows: Supervisors, Christ Estby Chairman, (8) years.) Halvor Tweton (2), Ben Anderson (1). Clerk, Gust San- dahl; Assessor, John Thompson; Justices, Gust Sandahl, Sam Aerseth; Constable, Otto Berg, Herman Broff. Frank Lyons while returning to his home from here a short time ago had an experience with wolves which he does not care to have repeated. When near the mouth of the Tamarack and not far from home he saw a number of wolves making for him and thanks to a near by tree he was soon in a place of safety, and when he reached the top he says his gray locks stood out like the quills of a porcupine on the de fensive. When asked as to the number he said *“O! I cannot tell you how many but it seemed to me that every wolf from Hudson Bay to Bemidji was -after me.” “I was not in a position to put up much defense but remembered that I had a box of cayenne pep- per with me and sifted this at them and the entire pack went off, not howling, but sneezing. The other wolves took the stage to Baudette.” Mrs. Sande of Spaulding died yesterday and the funeral is be- ing held today. Theremains will be interred in the Spaulding cemetery. Mrs, Sande was a very aged lady and death was due to old age. She has made her home with her son and daugh- ter in-law,who live at Spaulding. Mrs. W. L. Brooks left this morning for Buckeye, Arizona, where she was called by a tele-|i gram announcing the critical ill- ness of her brother-in-law, Chas. WILL ATTEND TOURNAMENT Take Part in Contests at Blackduck. PIANO WON IN CONTEST WILL BE RAFFLED. Hembers of Department Injured at Fires Receive Money For Injuries, A meeting of the Bemidji fire department was held last night at the fire hall and a large num- ber of important measures were acted upon. It was decided at the meeting that the running team of thede- partment would take part in the tournament to be held at Black- duck June 20-23, and the matter was discussed at length. As soon as a meeting of the running team is held a captain will be elected and the team will go into active training. The piano won in the recent contest given by the merchants of the city will be raffled off, ac- cording toa resolution adopted last night, and a committee of six, composed of Earl Geil, New- ton Holroyd, M. E. Carson, H. Doran, A. H. Harris and John Washburn was appointed to look after the affair. Work upon the raffle will be commenced at once and it is expected that it will be finished by June 22. Frank Silversack was allowed $102 out the relief fund of the de- partment for injuries sustained at the Ross fire last fall, and J. P. Pogue was allowed §11 for in- juries sustained at the fire on Jan. 10. THREATENED COAT OE TAR But Cool Headed Citizens Saved E. P. Felt From Being Misused. Residents of the town of Mal- lard, where E. P. Felt‘makes his home, have joined with the rela- tives of Mrs. Felt, who it is claim- ed has been swindled out of her rights as Felt’s wife by a decree of divorce, in attempting to set matters right. Nearly every cit- izen of the town is enraged over the affair, and an attempt to tar and feather Felt was made, but the cooler headed citizens pre- vailed and he was not subjected to any indignity. Felt is cordi- ally disliked, however, and senti ment among the better class at Mallard is all in favor of the widow whom they think has been misused. TROUBLE IN TOWN OF FROHN Family Quan;els Result in Arrest of Son of John Eikstadt. Emil, son of John Eikstadt, is being tried this afternoon before Judge Pendergast on a charge of having assaulted his cousin, the son of Karl Eikstadt. The trouble is the result ofa family feud which has been prevalent in the town of Frohn, where the Eik- stadt families live, for several years past. There has been ill feeling between the three broth- ers, John, Fred and Karl, for a long time, and the arrest of the young man, who is perhaps 19 years of age, is claimed to be spite work. A large number of witnesses will be examined and the case is quite interesting. Miller, whois suffering with tu- berculosis. Mrs. Brooks expects to remain in Arizona about a month.

Bemidji Running Team Will| Sheriff Bailey Leaves This Morning to Take Charge / of Prisoner. | Sheriff Bailey left this morning for Green Bay, Wis., where he will take charge of George Wes- ley,commonly knownas “Shorty” who is suspected of being impli- cated in the Dahl murder affair. Mr. Bailey arrived last night from St. Paul, where he has been transacting official business for some time past, Wesley will be taken back to Bemidji to be tried for murder in the first degree, providing sufficient evidence can be gathered against him. WHAT THEY SAY Sheriff Bailey: “I am deeply gratified with the capture of ‘“Shorty.” I have done every- thing in my power to get him, but his elusiveness is some- thing marvelous. Although I was on his track several times and thought that his capture would be effected, it seemed that he had the power to entirely dis- appear.” J. O. Harris: “The real estate business in Bemidji is picking up considerably, and indications are fora busy summer in this line. At my office during the past week there have been more transfers filed than in a month during the winter. This is a good indication for Bemidji, as a large share of the transfers made are for city property.”’ A. Gilmour: “I have not yet dropped the contest which I in- tended to institute against Mr. Skinvik, but will be unable to do anything until after my return from Minneapolis, where I will serve upon the federal grand jury. Quo warranto proceed- ings will be instituted and I ex- pect to win out, as I do not think that Mr. Skinvik was regularly elected.” C. H, Miles. *“I have given up the building of the hotel which I had intended to erect in Bemidji. Bemidjiis a good town, but I hardly think that it could sup- port the kind of a place that I had intended to build and main- tain. Ihave other projects in view, however, which will bene fit the city to just as great an ex- tent as the hotel proposition.” G. A. Tuller: “Our various business ventures n northern Minnesota are in a very satisfac- tory condition. It is true that times have been somewhat dull for the past year but my experi ence is that they have been much better in this section than any- where else in the northwest.” Incredible Bratality. It would have been incredible brutality if Chas. F. Lemberger, of Syracuse, N. Y., had not done the best he could for his suffer- ing son. “My boy,” he says, ‘‘cut a fearful gash.over his eye, so I applied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, which quickly healed it and saved his eye.” Good for burns and ulcers too.

Ghe BAZAAR STORE | HONKERS ARE COMING NORTH Thousands Seen at Crooks- ton—Electric Lights At- tracts the Birds. Crookston Times: During the high wind last night the fright- ened wild geese on their way north found the electric lights of the city the lodestones which at-! tracted them, as it seemed irre- sistibly, and during the late night and early morning hours the wild “honks” of thousands of the birds were to be heard hovering in circles over the bright beams of light, The wind apparently would drive the honkers before it with a vengeance and the Hap- ging of wings and other ‘‘goose’’ noise as the birds circled back to the lights and hovered around about them, made many a late home goer wish he had a gun. The birds maintained an eleva- tion of perhaps a hundred feet but some of them approached much nearer the lights. Heavy Sales. Manager Calvert of the Be- midji Elevator company reports that sales of Barlow’s Best, a flour milled especially for north central Minnesota ~ trade, have been very heavy during the past three months and are steadily increasing. This is practically true for the towns along the Minnesota & International. The flour has made a hit wherever it has been tried. A. D. Simpkins of Turtle River is a business visitor inthe city today.
