LEGALITY OF CORONER MAR- CUM’S BILLS QUESTIONED. Grass Lake Ditch Subject of In- vestigat. n During the Afternoon. The investigation into the afiairs of Beltrami county at the court house is making headway very slowly owing to the neces- sity of introducing and identify- ing so many bills and exhibits. The prosecution, however, hopes to complete its case today or to- morrow morning and itis prob- able that the investigation will be concluded this week. General satisfaction is ex- pressed over the evident fairness of the commission and it is difficult to see how Governor Johnson could have made a better selection of members. Very little conflict has arisen thus far as to the introduction of evidence most of it being readily agreed to by the attorneys on both sides and a desire to get at the truth of the matter is mani- fested by both prosecution and defense. The attendanceis small being confined almost exclusively to witnesses and interested parties. Yesterday afternoon a large number of bills were introduced which it is the prosecution’s pur- pose to show contained illegal charges. Such were several bills by the corouer in which autopsy is charged for at the rate of $25, the fees ailowed by law being $6. Numerous other bills for livery hire, for drugs, for making birth and death reports for charges by county physician were also in- troduced without objection by the defense and without explana- tion by the prosecution, all of which are supposed to contain various charges that are techni- cally illegal. This morning T. M. Harvey testified that he made 12 coffins for the county on the order of Commissioner Wright, that the county paid him $72 for the work and that he turned the warrant for the amount over to the First National Bank i1 payment of a note he had given the bank which note had been signed by Wright as an accommodation maker. M. W. Webb, a prisoner in the county jail in January testified that during that time he and other prisoners worked one day for Commissioner Wright chop- ping wood and a half day rolling logs. H. G. Hays was recalled and testified as to the publication of the financial statement for 1903. He proved a most willing and valuable witness for the prosecu- tion, pouring forth a perfect flood of expert testimony with a fluency that set atnaught all limits prescribed by the ques- tions asked him. Mr. Hays was particularly enthusiastic as to his conviction that the financial statement could have been squeezed into much smaller space had it been set single col- umn width instead of double col- umn. He waxed indignant over the fact that the printer had used thivk spaces between initial let- GETS THI “0oIN THEN LEAVES Kelliher Man Plays Cruel Prank on German Work- ing Girl. The local police have been noti- fied to watch out for a man for- merly a resident at Kelliher who recently left that village with a trunk belonging to a-hard work- ing German girl and $25 in cash which he had borrowed from her. From a description given by the girl, who was in the city a few days ago making inquiries as to the whereabouts of the man, he is a woodsman. He left Kelliher some time ago with the trunk and the money, saying that he was going to Dakota and that he would-write to the girl, whom he had promised to marry. After waiting for several days the girl became suspicious and came to Bemidji to make inquiries, but was unable to find any trace of her quondam fiance. The girl has now left for Dakota where the search for the man will be continued. She is about 19 years of age and has been employed in a restaurant at Kelliher. NYMORE. convenience. Lena and Frank Comstock were Bemidji visitors Sunday. Rev. Fisher, of Crookston held divine services here Sunday even- ing. A keg of heer and several men who disagreed ended in the sen- tence of one man to a servitude of thirty days in the county jail. A supper and ice cream social was given at the Nymore hotel last Saturday evening and netted the church a neat little sum for the treasury department. Mr. Belke’s team caused quite a little excitement here the other day—the team became fright- ened, and ran away. But little damage was done. Mont Phelps and James Mar- tin, of Bass Lake were in town one day this week. The Nymore fire department expect tojgive a masquerade ball in the near future.

Itis understood that a majority of the jury was for acquittal, but in what propotion they stood can not be ascertained. Miss Patterson collapsed on the jury’s announcement and fainted dead away. She was as- sisted from the conrt by her lcounsel and several court attend- ants and revived in an ante-room. Future proceedings in the case is uncertain, It has been inti- mated by the district attorney’s office that the state will probably not attempt another trial. Should this be the case Miss Patterson would be released either on no- minal bail or under her own re- sognizance and the indictment eventually be quashed.
