STRIKE BEGINNING TO TIE UP TRAFFI( Many Passenger Trains Running Behind Time---Perishable Freight Is Ac- cepted Con St. Paul, August 4,—Traffic on the Great Northern and the Northern Pacfic today shows the effect of the telegraphers strike more thanon previous days. While the roads are accepting perishable freight conditionally to certain local cities, thus in- dicating arn improvement in freight conditions, passenger trains are generally behind time. The north coast train due here at ditionally. 7:40 this morning was annulled and is being run as No. 2 due here this afternoon. Reports from towns along the line tell of hampered business due to lack of shipping facilities. Local conditions show no change. Passenger trains are running promptly on time on the Duluth line and local freights are also being run on schedule. WILL HAVE A ' DAY CURRENT Warfield Bros. Will Instsll All Day Current Within 30 Days. It is announced that the War- field Electric company will in- stall a day current in about thirty days. There has been quite a demand for a day current for some months past but the amount of business in sight has not hitherto been sufficient to warrant beginning it. The com- pany has now contracted to fur- nish power for the Bemidji Handle Factory, however, and the cur- rent will be put on as soon as the big moter for the Bemidji Handle Factory arrives.

CHICKENS ARE DROWNED OUT MYSTERY IN A Terrible Story of the Misuse of a Fourteen Year - O0ld Girl. Bemidji was greatly stirred this morning by rumors of a crime committed against a 14 year old girlat a lumber camp LUMBER CAMP| Mrs. U. B. Wise:— about five miles’ east” of Ten- strike. Two of the principals, Roy Emery, a negro and Ben Nelson, a white man are now in the Beltrami county jail, Itis claimed by Ezra Washburn, who has been working at the camp, that he was an eye witness to the whole affair. Washburn claims that Nelson is guilty of the crime and that the negre and a woman were his accomplices. The girl herself was brought to Bemld;l from Tenstrike this morning and declares that there is absolutely no truth in the story beyond the fact that the persons named by Chicks Were Just Feather- ing Out When the Big Rain Drowned Them. From reports brought in by farmers, prairie chickens will be a scarce article this fall in North- ern Minnesota, The rains of the Isst week are claimed by the far- mers to be responsible for the wholesale destruction of the chickens by drowning and sports- men from this city who have been about the country atall affirm the report, The little chicks were just feathering out nlcely when the big rain came along to pin their little lives in the bud,and prevent sportsmen of this section from enjoying an abundance of good fall shooting in this section. The birds were not able to fly any distance when the downpour started and as aresult were in many cases drowned right in the nests prepared for them by their parents. The older birds, how- ever, were unable to get out of reach of the water and the shoot- ing this fall will be large of the “old cock’ variety. HARD JOB TO CONVICT LARSON Witnesses Fail To Identify Larson as Man Seen With Nelson. Theodore Larson the self con- fessed murderer of Nels Nelson in Crookston in October1903 was yesterday bound over to the grand jury at Crookston. Two witnesses failed to identify Lar- son as the man they saw with Nelson on the day ot the murder and Larson still sticks to hisin- sanity story. The state evidently has a job on its hands to prove Larson’s connection with the tragedy de- spite the written confession of the prisoner. A man cannot be convicted of a crime upon his own testimony, whether right or wrong,and with Larson’s present denial the officials will have to do considerable inyestigating before they will be able to make outa case against the prisoner, The fact that two years and more have elapsed since the time of the tragedy, makes the investi- gation of the deceased’s where- abouts before the time of his death an extremely difficult mat- ter. The fact that he was a practical stranger here also makes it hard for them. Mrs. DeWitt Tanner and chil dren of Chicago and Miss Leonora Davies are the guests of Dr.and Mrs. E. H. Marcum. They will go on to Chicago to- mMOTrow morning. ‘Washburn were sitting outside of the camp singing and mildly scuffling. County Attorney Me- Donald is investigating the affair, County Seat Fight. Red Lake Falls is still a notch ahead in its fight to defend its title to- the county seat of Red Lake county. The Thief River flour. Yours for Bemidji, Beltrami and Barlow’s Best, BEMIDJI ELEVATOR. CO. THE BEMIDJI ELEVATOR CoO. H. C. CALVERT, Mgr. Bemidji. Minn,, August, 1905, ‘ If you love your husband, feed him good bread. There isnothing that makes a good husband like good bread and there is nothing that makes good bread like Barlow’s Best of mandamus calling upon the Board of County Commissioners A Hundred Fold.
