WILLMEET ON MAY 2 Investigation Into Beltrami County Affairs Begins Next Tuesday. COMMISSION WILL SIT AT THE COURT HOUSE. Copies of the Charges Against Them Have Been Received by All Accused Officials. Beltrami county officials ac- cused by the public examiner this morning received from the office of the attorney general notice that the commission ap pointed by Governor Johnson to inquire into the charges will sit in the court room in the court house in Bemidji beginning next Tuesday, May 2, at 10 a. m., “or as soon thereafter as counsel can be heard.” The commission consists of Graham M. Torrance of this city and Cleveland Van Dyke, the goyernor’s executive clerk. Mr. R, A. Stene, one of the assistants in the attorney general’s office will conduct the investigation. The work of the commission wilt consist in hearing and transcrib- ing such evidence as Mr, Stone can adduce together with what- eyer defense the accused officials have to offer. The evidence will then be certified to the governor who will thereupon determine whether the charges have been sustained or not. Should the governor decide that nene of the charges have been sustained the incident will be closed. Should he conclude that any or all of the charges have been proyed, he may remove or censure the ac- cused officials according to the seriousness of the charges. The charges as contained in the copies received here today are of the most general nature simply alleging the allowance of illegal bills and fraud ina gen eral way. No specific instances are cited. The public examiner appears to have revised his charges since their first publication some ten days ago. At that time it was charged that the printing was illegally let in 1903, but the charges received here today in- clude the years 1904 and 1905 as well. Anew charge is also to the effect that certain county commissioners have profited from contracts let by the county. Both of these items indicate that the investigation will cover the official acts of other commission- ers than those named in the pub- lic examiner’s report.

The valuable White Wyandotte rooster belonging to Harry Cal- vert of the Bemidji Elevator com- pany, which has been lost for several days past, was returned last night in a peculiar manner. Shortly before 6 o’clock a man apparently 26 years of age enter- ed the Paul Fuucault barber shop at the corner of Minnesota ave- qne and Third street, carrying a bundle. He laid it down in the back end of the establishment, and saying “I don’t want the rooster any longer,” he left. Mr. Foucault was surprised as well as mystified at the peculiar actions of the man but upon examination found that the bundle contained arooster. He suspected some- thing, however, and the police were notified but a search ex- tending throughout the day has as yet not resulted in locating the man who brought back the cock. Patrolman John Cline took charge of the rooster and returned it to Mr. Calvert this morning. The thief evidently had read the advertisement in the Daily Pioneer in which Mr, Calvert offered to pay a reward of $10 if the rooster were re- turned.
