TO ELECT | ~ ATTORNEY| Meeting of Board of County Commissioners Will Be Held Tomorrow. FUNKLEY AND MC DONALD ONLY CANDIDATES. Generally Believed Throughout City That . McDonald’s Elec- tion Is Certain. A meeting of the board county commissioners will be held at the court house tomorrow morning commencing at 10 o’clock, at which a county attorney tosuc- ceed Former County Attorney H. J. Loud will be elected. After the county attorney has been elected and other matters that go with the election, such as approving his bonds, etc, have been disposed of, the board -will adjourn and another mecting will take place.at 2 o’clock p. m. at which the routine business of the board will be transacted. This meeting promises to te of great importance, as the number of bills and other matters that have accumulated since the in- vestigation was started is large, and it is possible that the meet- ing will last for several days. Much interest is expressed as to the outcome of the county at- torney election. It is conceded that Henry Funkley and E. E. McDonald are the only candi- dates that stand any show of election—John Gibbons and P. J. Russell have withdrawn from the race. The general opinion through- out the city seems to be that Mr. McDonald will be successful, al. though it is little more thana guess at the present time to say who will be elected. TAKE IN $12,628 IN ONEWEEK Red Lake Payments Make a Big Rush at Crockston Land Office. $12,628 was taken in during the six days of last week by Receiver August George of the Crookston United States land office and dur- ing the next few weeks it is likely that the receipts of the office wiil average even higher than that figure. Th> reason for the erormous rush of money into the land office and the Federal Treas. ury is the fact that the first pay- ment on Red Lake Indian lands is due and settlers are turning in their hoardings of the past year to Uncle Sam in accordance with their terms of settlement. On an average of twenty pay- ments per day are made und the amount received by the officials from each individual settler ranges from $80 to $100 and even as high as $200 on choice des- criptions, A million and a half of money will be paid in during the next few years at the Crooks- ton land office on Red Lake lands. Rooms for Teachers. County Superintendent of Schools Ragan desires that those who* have rooms for rent notify him sothat he may advise the teachers where they can secure accomodations during the term of summer school that begins July 5.

After attaining a depth of over 100 feet, the end of the pipe be- ing driven broke off at the lower end and the work was conse quently delayed.

BENA MAN MAY ~ BE MURDERED Body of Homesteader Carl Bakken Found in Sand Lake. Steenerson Declares Nelson Cure No Good in Pros- perous Times. Congressman Steenerson is now at work upon his bill for the abolishment of the present bank- ruptcy law, which he will pre- sent at the next session of con gress. In speaking of the matter, Mr. Steenerson said: “The only time for a bank- ruptcy law was at the tail end of a Democratic administration.” The first bankruptcy act was passed by congress April 4, 1800 and was repealed in December 19, 1803; the next was passed August 19, 1841; was repealed in contract to this year complete a But the This gap has been surveyed, but be in attendance at the meeting. veyed a line from its present|Paring the map. - It will be caseof Duluth jobbers will early reap number that will be used is 12.

CAMP. i Petition Asking Removal of County Seat From Bagley Will Be Filed Today. | Clearwater county will have a county seat removal fight and from present indications Red Lake county will not by any means have a monopoly on that class of excitement during the present season. Today the peo- ple of Shevlin, Clearwater county, will throw a bomb in the camp of the Bagleyites that will without doubt cause no small sensation. The bomb will be in the form of 2 county seat-removal petition which will be filed today with the county auditor by Mayor Gor- don of Shevlin, and the petition will be signed by upwards of 800 names more than the number re- quired by law, compelling the holding of a special election. In connection with the matter, Mayor Gordon of Shevlin said, “Ordinarily the county commis- siorers of Clearwater county could not bond to build a court house as the county is already bonded to the limit, but a special law was passed at the legislature last session which enables the board to bond for a court house in Clearwater county beyond the limit provided for.in the general aws. Thelaw as passed isap- plicable to only Clearwater county, despite the fact that the name Clearwater does not ap- pear in the document. Clear- water is the only county in the state at the present time without a court house and as such is the AFTER FAKE MERCHANTS Dairy and Food Department to Prosecute Them. The state dairy and food de partment is evidently strong after that type of business man known as ‘“boxcar merchant.” It is claimed that thesc fellows not only give short weight, but sell adulterated food, and are nou as easily located and prosecuted as though they had definite places of business. The dairy and food department is sending letters to business men in the small towns of the state, urging them to erganize against these boxcar merchants and - report their actions to the 1843; the next was passed March 2, 1867, and was repealed June 7, 1878.” “The presentact was passed July 1, 1898 and has now been in force nearly seven years. It will be seen therefore, that it has hitherto not been the policy of this nation to maintain a permanent law upon the subject of bank- ruptcy, but to resort toit only after periods of hard times to re: lieve unfortunate debtors, and then when prosperity has- been restored and has seemed per- manenily established to repeal it, in order that it might not be- come an instrument in the hands of the dishonest to defraud those who have confided in them.” We Are Sole The Plate that wears and th Sterling Silver.

PROMISGUOUS SHOOTING Many Shots Fired in City Limits Yesterday—Boy Reported Wounded. It is reported that asthe re. sult of p.omiscuous shooting in the vicinity of Diamond Point, within the city limits, a boy was wounded yesterday afternoon, a .22 caliber bullet passing through his arm.
