AUTHORITIES CLAIM TO HAVE CHAIN OF EVIDENCE. Preliminary Examination of Sus- pected Murderer Will Take Place May II. T'red Foote, who was brought to Bemidji Saturday night by Sheriff Bailey on a charge of hav- ing murdered Matt Gannon at Baudette, was arraigned in just- ice court yesterday afternoon be- fore Judge Skinvik and the pre- liminary examination was con- tinued for ten days, in which time Sheriff Bailey will goto Baudette to secure additional evi- dence which will be used at the hearing. Sheriff Bailey and County At- toraey Loud claim to have evi- dence, which, while not conclus- ive of the guilt of Foote, show that his actions on the night of the murder were highly suspi- cious. It is claimed that Gannon and Foote had trouble on two differ- ent occasions, once in Dakota and another -time at Spooner. The first trouble 1esulted in Gannon’s pulling a gun on Foote and occurred four years ago. At Spooner Foote himself claims that Gannon pulled a revolver on him and that he was forced to back outofa door in order to escape.

Water Mains - Interfere With Original Petition Asking 20 Foot Boulevard. The petition of property owners living on Bemidji avenue asking that the city council es- tablish a boulevard 20 feet in width on each side of the street| was discussed at the meeting last night and finally referred back to W. L. Brooks and others, signers of the petition. Dr. Morrison represented the signers. The petition asks that the avenue be boulevarded 20 feet from the property line on each side, and that the sidewalks be placed a distance of five feet out from the property line’ thus leaving a boulevard of five feet on the inside of the sidewalk and nine feet on the outside, the sidewalk being six feet in width The council took the matter up at length but an objection to making the beulevard 20 feet wide was raised, one member of the council explaining that the water mains are located only 18 teet outside the property line and that should it ever be neces- sary tolake up the mains it would necessitate the destructiou of the boulevard. The plan sug- gested to overcome this difficulty was to make the boulevard 17 feet in width, This would leave one foot from the outside of the boulevard to the water mains, so that if the mains were taken up it could be done without doing damage to the boulevard. The signers of the petition will investigate the matter thor oughly and a special meeting of the council will be held Wednes- day to act on the proposition.

A motion asking for the dis- missal of an attachment upon certain logsin the township of Winsor belonging to John Ques- nell and Jette LeJambe was ar- | gued before Judge Spooner yes- terday afternoon. The attach- ment was placed on the logs by George Quesnell, Leo Quesnell, Emil Revard, Hubert Quesnell and A, Remo for the collection of wages due them for work in land- ing the logs. Attorney J. A. Hendricks appeared for the log owners and secured the dismis sal of the attachment. An Open Letter. From the Chapin, S.

Aged Parent Will Remain in the City About Two Weeks Before Returning Home. C. H. Miles returned last night from Ackerman, Mississippi, in company with his father, Peter | Miles, whom he had not seen for nearly 30 years. Although 60 years of age and the father of 18 children,the elder Miles presents an excellent appearance. Healthy vigorous and active, the aged gentleman looks younger than many men of 40, The home of Mr. Miles is in Wiston county, Mississippi, and bis nearest railway station is Ackerman, 25 miles distant. When Charles, who left Bemidji about a week agoto find his father, from whom he had re ceived word, arrived at the home of his parents he rapped on the door, which was opened by Mr. Miles. He allowed his identity to remain unknown for a few minutes, but when he made known his name the elder gentle man was dumbfounded. After greetings had been exchanged they entered the house which the younger Miles left at the age of nine, where a general family reunion took place. Charles Miles left home at the age of nine ycars, shortly after the death of his mother. His struggle in life up to the age of 21 was one of the hardest that ever fell to the lot of a-’human be ing, but after many ups and downs he was finally successful. His success lasted fora short time only; however, and a few years before coming to Bemidji the large fortune that he amass- ed while in Chicago was reduced toa small pittance. He became successful again, however, and when he came to Bemidji he had seyeral thousands of dollars, which was immediately inyested- His success from that time on has been wonderful, and at the vresent time he is one of the most sound men financially in north ern Minnesota, owning large property interest in Bemidji and other pointsthroughout the state. The elder Miles has been mar ried twiceand isthe father of 18 children, 15 of whom are now living. Charles Miles has nine brothers, seven of whom are half brothers, and six sisters, five of whom were born after the death of his mother.” The oldest mem- ber of the family is ason 38 years of age and the youngest another son three years. The aged gentleman will re- main in Bemidji about two weeks Eurly in the spring my wife and |- taking in the sights before leav- ing for his home in Mississippi. After Market Hunters. Game Warden A.
