Land Shérpe: Flee_{mi, Un- suspecting: New Jersey Citizen Out of $50." PROMISED CHANCE To0 FILE ON GOVERNMENT LAND. But When New Jersey Man Ar- rived at Land Office He Had No Description. A new swindle is.being perpe- trated by some confidence opera- tor upon the unsuspecting pub- lic. On Monday evening a Mr. Fred Kull of Newark, New Jer- sey, arrived in Cass Lake. He brought with him the following document: December 9, 1904. M. Fred Kull Esq., Newark; N. J. To J. C. Harris Dr., Cass Lake, Minn, For professional services as follows: To hold in reserv:: « hundred and sixty (lh(h ac known as plat 7 time herein speciticd, v months from date of agreeu.cnt From Mr. C. W. Beyer (fur Mr. Fred Kull) for the service us above stated, the sum of fifty dol lars ($50.) Received payment. John C. Harris. Attorney and Council at Law, The receipt was made out on a bill head printed with script type. Mr. Kull appeared at the United States Land Office on Tuesday morning to file on his supposed claim. His disappoint: ment was beyond expression when he learned that he had been magde a victim of some swindler. It appears that the transaction was made through a friend of Mr, Kull’s, a Mr, Beyer who had known Mr. Kull for years. Both had been in the Spanish-Ameri- can war together and were the closest kind of friends. M. Beyer thought he was doing his friend an act of kindness and when he learns of the swindle, will doubtless be very much cha- grinned. It is through ignorance of east- ern people that such robberies are possible. Had Mr. Beyer or Mr. Kull been at all familiar with land descriptions they would have at once known that such a description as “plat 72” never exists. It will be seen by the description given in the receipt that no township or range is given. The diagram accompany- ing the receipt shows a village in close proximity to the supposed claim of Mr. Kull. WILL LOWER WATER MAINS City Council Instructs Street Commissioner to Protect Them Against Frost. At the regular meeting of the city council last night, Street Commissioner Hazen was in- structed to lower the water mains along Bemidji avenue that will be affected by the grading of the street and the building of the boulevards that will "be con- structed. At the present time the mains are coyered with about six feet of earth, but when the street is graded there will be places where the depth will be reduced to two or three feet. This is not sufficient to protect the mains againss frost, and con- sequently it will be necessary to lower them. Divorce Case Tried. Judge Spooner yesterday: af- ternoon heard the evidence in the divorce case of Anna Sivesend vs. Claus Sivesand.” The action is- brought on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. Both parties live at Bagley. At- torney P. J. Russell appeared for the defendant. Judge Spoon- er has not rendered a decision as yet. Mrs. F. J.

FINE STRINGS OF BLACK BASS WERE CAUGHT. Numerous Parties Return te City ~ Burdened Down With Day's Catch. Bemidji lake and the numerous lakes in the immediate vicinity of Bemidji were visited by hordes of sportsmen on Sunday. Kvery incoming train from Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon broughtin large parties of pleas- ure seekers from east, south and west, and the boatmen re- port that the number of people who spent the day on Bemidji lake was larger than at any time heretofore. A lirge number of those who liing Sunday visited fav- otite bass lakes within 10 miles of the city, and a number of ex- -ellent strings were brought in, Swenson lake, located 10 miles east of Bemidji, was the object- ive point for two parties, one of ‘vhich consisted of Bart Stafford, i'«ul Foucault, J. M, Stafford and E. C. Kane. The other party isted of H. J. Loud and J. N. Bailey. The first party of gen- tlemen started for the lake in the morning and returned home in the evening with 42 bass, some of which weighed fully five pounds. Messrs.. Loud and Bailey were also very successful and brought in a fine string, George Baker and H. N. French went to Spearhead lake, and caught 25 black bass. All varities of fish seem to be biting unusually well at the pres- ent time and some of the speci- mens of pike, pickerel and mus- callonge taken from Bemidji lake during the past few days were monsters in size. It is buta common occurence to catch pike that weigh from five to nine pounds, while the pickerel and muscallonge run up as large as 30 pounds. The largest of these, however, are very difficult to catchon a still hook, the usual manner of catching them being with a brolhnv line. TOMORROW IS FLAG DAY National Emblem Will Be Displayed From All Pub- lic Buildings. [ Gov. Johnson has issued a pro- clamation designating tomorrow. June 14, as flag day, and recom- mends that the day be observed by all good citizens by displaying the national emblem from all public buildings. To the people of Minnesota the day is of special significance this year, as all -the old battle flags of the state that have heretofore rested in the old state capitol will be transferred to the new capito! building and the event will be marked by ap- propriate ceremonies. Carnations, 50c per dozen, to- night. At the Grill. Vacancies ‘moval of ley Will Be Fllled. Tovimsme CHAIRMEN AND VIL- LAGE PRESIDENTS TO MEET. Meeting to Be Called._tn Order at Court House at 2 O’clock P. M. The election of twonew county commissioners to fill the va- cancies caused by the removal by Gov. Johnson of Commissioners Wright and Sibley will oceurin Bemidji at2 o’clock tomorrow afterncon, when the chairmen and presidents of the townships districts will assemble at the court house, After having elected a chair- man and secretary of’ the meet- ing, a bailot will be taken and the successful candidate will require a majority of the votes cast. From this it will be seen that the new oner from the third dis- commi trict will need eight votes, while the new man from the first dis- trict will require two, providing all the town chairmen and village presidents who have been notitied attend the meeting. There is no manner in which to ascertain or even guess who will be the successful men from either district. While in the first district. there are only three votes and each of these three men have been approached with a view of learning whom they favor for the office. they would give out nothing of a nature that would commit them as to the man for whom they intended to vote. The nearest to any sort of an answer obtained from any one of these three men was the state- ment made by one that in his opinion the commissioner elected would be a man who had never been mentioned as a possible candidate for the position. In the third district, which was formerly represented by Commissioner Sibley, the situa- tion is even more indefinite. The 14 men who will havea hand in the election of the new commis- sioner have each kept thelr own counsel as to whom their support will go to, and untila ballot has been taken nothing can be stated as to who the successful man will be. Gave Good Show. The Burke Comedy company opened for the summer season in Bemidji last night by presenting their attraction under canvas lo- cated on the vacant lot near the Pioneer office. The show was first class in every respect and drew out a good attendance. The company left this afternoon for Cass Lake, where they will open a three night’s engagement this evening. OJohn Schmidt, whose home west of the city was destroyed by fire last winter, has complet- ed 2 new residence and Saturday night gave a housewarming cele- brating the completion of the house. Alarge number of friends were present at the affair, which was thoroughly enjoyed. Don’t forget the M, B, A, dance this evening. TRAVELING MAN TAKES YOUNG WILDCAT ALIVE. L. W.
