FINED $50 AND COSTS B. H. Ward of Fairmont Found Guilty of Ship- ping Cow Mouse Meat. \ CASE WILL BE APPEALED TO DISTRICT COURT. Result of the Trial is Regarded as Victory for Game and Fish Commission. B. H. Ward of Fairmont, Minn., formerly a member of the state game and fish commission, was Friday found guilty at Northome of shipping by Northern Pacific express from Northome to Fair- mont a quarter of moose meat to- gether with the hide, the same being a portion of the carcass of a female moose. Ward was sen- tenced to pay a fine of $50 and costs, which amount to $217, in default of the payment of which he must serve 90 days in the Itasca county jail. The case is interesting to resi- dents of the north country as well as to those of southern Min- nesota, where Ward is well known. The defense in the case started with the contention that Ward killed a bull moose and that the case was the result of a conspiracy on the part of Samuel ., Fullerton, executive agent of the game and fish commission, to even up an old score, Evidence by the state established the fact that the complaint against Ward had been made by settlers living near Northome and that Fuller- ton did not know of the suspicion against Ward until after a com- panion of Ward’s who hunted with him near Northome last fall had been arrested. The defense then claimed that the meat and hide shipped to Fairmont had been given to Ward by a young man named Emil Dybdahl and that Ward did not know whether it wasa part of the carcass of a male or female moose. The state then produced as evidence the heads of three moose killed by the party to which Ward belonged when he hunted near Northome last fall and the hides of two moose killed by members of the party, accord- to testimony by B. P. Boyd, who was convicted of killing a cow moose and fined $50 and costs. The register of a hotel at Miz- pah was introduced as evidence by the state and it was shown that while stopping at the hotel Ward had registered the names of the members of his party and written on the register ¢“Big moose hunters: killed three moose and two deer.” Evidence was also produced by the state showing that the members sign- ed their names on the door jamb of aJog cabin to a statement as Hollows: “Kiiled one moose to day.” One witness testified that Ward had oftered him the shoulder of a moose that had been left in tne woods when the animal had been dressed but that when he went there with a wagon to haul it away Ward objected to his carrying it off, saying it ought to be worth $15. Ward stated to the Pioneer OFFICERS OF SCHOOL BOARD E. F. Crawford, A. A. War- field, J. P. Lahr Chosen Saturday Night.

DEER RIVER IS TAKEN IN Defeated by Decisive Score of 8 to 1in Game Yester- day Afternoen. Bemidji yesterday afternoon defeated Deer River ina base| ball game played on the local dia- mond by the d- cisive score of 8 to 1. The game was an excellent exhibition, and had Cook, the Deer River pitcher, been accord- ed the support to which he was entitled the score would have been much closer. Neither side scored until the fourth inning, when Hazen went to first base on an error of the Deer River first baseman. Hazen stole second and third and went homeona caught fly. The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings net- ted Bemidji seven more runs, while Deer River succeeded in|y getting only one man across the home bag. The pitching of Le- Gore for Bemidji and Cook for Deer River was the feature of the game. Each struck out 13 men and allowed only four hite apiece. What the Minot gptic says about *The Banker’s Child.” Last night a large audience witnessed the play, ‘The Bank- er’s Child” at the opera house and every one present left at the close of the play with the highest praise for Harry Shannon’s play. It has been a long time since a play has come to Minot as elevat- ing in its tone and as prettily staged and costumed as “The Banker’s Child.”” The elegant costumes are seldom equalled on the stage and the play from be- giuning to end is intensely inter- esting. Little Stella, known as the Banker’s Child, is a marvel. | She played her partin a mann(r which captured the entire aud - ence. The specialties were very fine last night, It is hoped by | many who saw the play last night that this company will play a return date in Minot. Burglars at the Tremont. What is supposed to be an at- tempt at burglary was discov- ered at the Tremont hotel last| night, when two unknown men entered the establishment and | went through the house finally bringing up in the room occupied by the porter, who sent in an alarm to the police. One of the men made his escape from the: house before the arrival of the officers but the other was arrest | ed and received a sentence of 10 days in the county jail in Judge | Pendergast’s court this morning. Haryesting Has Begun. - The haryesting of small grains has ~commenced in Beltrami county. The main crop now be- | ing cut is wheat, barley and rye. In spite of the backward season, reports from the country dis- make an investigation of the cir- cumstances surrounding’ the death of the man found in the river last November and to at- tempt to secure permission to re- open the grave of the dead man for the purpose of viewing the remains. = Providing the resemb- lance between the man buried at Grand Forks and Wold is strong, a woman who claims that she can positively identify the body of Wold will go to Grand Forks to look at the body. If it is found that Wold is the man found in the river his claim in Buzzle township, which was i taken from him in a contest case heard at Cass Lake some time ago, will revert back to his heirs. In July, 1883, I began to break out with Eczema on my head, legs and arms, and began treatment with local doctors, but did not get much relief, They said the dis- ease had become chronic. I then quitthem and tried various ointments and soaps for another two years, but as soon as cold weather came I was as bad off asever, so I finally decided tolet medicine alone, and for twelve or thirteen years did nothing towards curing the Eczema, except bath- ing. - This seemed to do about as much good as anything I had tried.
