The Investigation. Commission Adjourns. The commission adjourned this afternoon at three o’clock, after being in session from Tuesday May 2 until Thursday May 11, nine days. The testimony will be subscribed by the members of the commission this evening and will be delivered to Governor Johnson by Mr. Van Dyke, Date For Argument. Friday May 19 has been set as a day for hearing arguments in the case and arguments of counsel will be heard by Gover- nor Johnson at St. Paul on that vice chairman of the board, was simply signed, not delivered, at the time that a portion of -the amount specified in the released was paid over to Auditor D, L. Sylvester. Compliments. for Commission. Governor Johnson certainly made a hit in his selection of a commission. Both prosecution and defense are pronounced in their expressions of satisfaction with the able and impartial man- ner in which the members of the commission have handled the case. day, unless a later day such in the mean time be set by the governor. Today’s Proceedings. Very little evidence, and none of any particular importance, was taken by the commission to- day. The day has been spent principally in comparing the record and correcting it. The Attendance. During the opening days of the session the court room was fairly wellfilled but the failure of the prosecution to adduce any- thing sensational caused a falling off in interest and for the past week there has heen hardly more than twenty people present most of these being either county officials or witnesses, Outside of these practically the only regular attendants were J, J. Trask and W. G. Schroeder. Mr. Hays’' Supreme Effort. A few days ago the St.Paul Dispatch printed a long article from Bemidji on the investiga tion. It was couched in the most virulent terms and practic ally condemned every official of Beltrami county to the penitenti- | midji. He Helped Some. The virtuous visaged Andy Danaher occupied a front seat throughout the proceedings and frequently hurried to the help of the prosecutions with whispered suggestions. SYLVESTER MAY RETURN Claimed That Former Audi- tor Will Come Back to Clear Up Things. A report which seems to emanate from the camp of those opposed to Commissioners Wright and Sibley is to the effect that David L. Sylyester, former county auditor, ison his way back from Tacoma Wash. to Be- It is claimed that Mr. Sylvester is in a position to clear away several things in connection with the investigation just end- ed and that his return to Bemidji is by request. What truth there is in the report is not known. ary. Its description of what the| P AJL, FOURNIER prosecution had proved wassome thing fearful and wonderful. Items which the prosecution has not so much as touched upon were set forth as established by | Well an overwhelming mass of evi- dence, In several instances it was declared that the prose- cution had proved that the county had been robbed of sums which far exceeded the amount of the bills in dispute. The Dispatch correspondent from Bemidji is Mr. H. G, Hays. The article was a fine example of pure cussedness. Want the Truth. A striking feature of the inves- tigation was the lack of friction between the attorneys for the prosecution and the defense, Both sides manifested a disposi- tion to be perfectly fair and to sacrifice legal te@chnicalities to an honest endeavor to find out the truth. The defense particularly made every possible effort to bring the real fact in every in- stance to light. Objections to in- troduction of testimony were ex- ceedingly few. Hence Those Tears! A well known Bemidji gentle- man today called at the Pioneer office and, with a throat full of wrath, ordered that his sub- scription be cancelled at once. It seems that the Pioneer’s ac- counts of the proceedings before the commission, in the opinion of Broomfield a this gentleman, have not been ac- curate. Hecan prove it by the St. Paul Despatch, it seems. Revised rates will be sent to all our advertisers at the earliest possible moment. Somebody’s Beer Fibbing. MAY BE MISSING Found.ed Report to Effect That He Has Left Home at Quiring. A well founded report is to the effect that Paul Fournier, ac cused last fall with having mur- dered N. O. Dahl and daughter, Aagot, is to the effect that Four- nier has left his home at Quiring for parts unknown. The report, which' is given by a prominent resident of Quiring, is that Fournier entirely disap- peared shortly after the arrest of “Shorty” Wesley and that he has not been seen near his home for several weeks. The McLeods Return. Bemidji people are greatly pleased to meet Rev. and Mrs, J. B, McLeod who returned from Tucson, Arizona Monday night. Their plans for the future are not definitely settled. Mr. Mc- Leod will preach at Brainerd Sunday and may possibly make arrangements to locate there.

No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different.
