A cheap rate has beea made to Walker from points north on the M. & I.and a number of excur- sionists from Northome, . Ten- strlke and other towns will prob- ably stop off in Bemidji. The Bemidji band will meet both trains and will also furnish music at the grounds. Both teams that wili play to- morrow are among the strongest in the state and the contest will without a doubt be interesting. ATTEMPTS TO CUT THROAT Jacob Weber Slashes Neck With Razor at County Jail This Morning. DEPUTY FOILS PLAN OF SELF DESTRUCTION. Opens Up the Jail to Find Weber' Lying in His Cell in Pool of Blood. Jacob Weber, held at the Bel- trami county jail to await the action of the grand jury next month on a charge of incest committed upon his 15 year old daughter at Nymore, this morn- ing attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a razor which he claims had been smuggled to him by his wife. Weber was found in his sell this morning by Deputy Sheriff Thos, Bailey, Jr., lyingin a large pool of blood which had emanat- ed from an ugly gash on the side of the throat, from which he was still bleeding freely. . The deputy at once called med- ical assistance and the wound of Weber was dressed. He was very weak but will survive. The timely arrival of the de puty is perhaps the only thing that frustrated Weber’s plan of self destruction. The attempt upon his life had been made per- haps two hours before the jail was opened up this morning. Weber had apparantly tried to cut the jugular vein and thought he bhad succeeded. When the jail was opened up he refused to answer the deputy when he was called, and it is thought that had he been lert unmolested he would have bled to death from the wound or made another at.tempb upon his life. Weber claims that his throat was cut accidently, but can give no plausable account of the man- ner in which he received the wound otherwise than at his own hand. Won Contest Cases. Henry Funkley has received notice to the effect that the com- missioner of the general land office at Washington has decided * in favor of the contestant in two contest cases in which he repre- sented the contestant. One case was Gustaf Stohl vs. Chas. Lari- viere and the land is a valuable located between Battle River and Kelliher. The other was the case of John Sivanson vs. John B. Johnson, the land con- tested in this case being located in Cormant township. Both con- tests were brought after the con- testee had proved up on the land. THE STRIKE SITUATION Conditions Remain Practi- cally Unchanged—Little Freight Moving. The strike situation, according to advices received from an authoritative source, is practical- ly unchanged. It isclaimed by | the telegraphers that 97 per cent ,of all union men employed on-the Great Northern and Northern Pacific systems have gone out. Little freight is being handled and some passenger trains are now being delayed by the strike. The heads of the trainmen’s orders have ordered all trainmen to cease assuming the functions of telegraphers, as they have heretofore been doing. Local Depot Open. Agent Chamberlain and Cash- ier Rhea of the local Great North- ern depot resumed their duties this morning and tickets were sold today. The telegraphers are still out, however, and no messages can be sent from the Bemidji depot, N\ Whistle for His Baggage. John Emberlein is regretting the lockout. He left his trunks at the Great Northern depot at Walker for an hour. During the hour the agent got the strike order and went fishing. Now Mr. Emberlein is whistling for his baggage. Spoiling Breakfast. Towns which depend upon the dairy country for their supply of milk and cream are regretting the lockout. Itspoils their breax- fast. The first few mornings the cream was sour and complaints were loud The next many morn- ings may be creamless entireiy. Calling in the Men. The wholesale houses are re- gretting the lockout. There is no use trying to ship perishable freight or any kind of freight. So they are calling in their men and abandoning.business. Beefsteaks Frying. Butchers are regretting the lockout. There are two cars of beef hung up at Fosston; simply waiting on the track for time to do its worst. Grand Rapids Beat Deer River.s According t6 the.Grand Rap- ids Magnet, the base ball team of that city last Sunday defeated the Deer River team by a score of 12 to 1. Apparently, the Grand Rapids aggregation has been counsiderably strengthened since its visit to Bemidji the first of the season. ’WAY up No. 1 at Cass Lake‘ Land Office Door Thinks His Place Worth $1500. THIRTY PEOPLE ALREADY IN LINE FOR AUG. 15 OPENING. Great Interest Manifested in the Opening Set for That Date. “T would not sell my place be. fore this door for a cent less than $1500.”” This is the declaration of No. 1 before the door of the United States land office at Cass Lake. He took up his station before the office door August 1, fifteen days before the day set for the ‘open- g and he thinks that his 15 days weary vigil will be richly repaid when he secures the claim which he has seen and selected. Already there are 30 people in line and they are enduring their weary wait as best they may. The opening occurs August 15, one week- from next- Monday morning at 6 o’clock. That'so many people should already have taken places in iine séems somewhat strange in view of the fact that the acreage of- fered in the Cass Lake district is not large and that the lands are all cut over lands. Some yery good claims must have been dis- covered among them. WAGES RAISED AT THE MILL Crookston Lumber Company Will Pay $2 Per Day for Common Laborers. The Crookston Lumber com- pany yesterday afternoon in- stalled a new wage schedule for common laborers employed at the Bemidji plant of the company and hereafter these men will re- ceive $2 per day instead of $1.75, which has been paid during the season up to the present time, The raise effects a large percent- age of the men, employed at the mill and will considearbly in- crease the pay roll of the com- pany. The new schedule is ef- fective Aug. 1. 600D ENOUGH FOR TO STEAL Judge Pendergast’s Drainage Address Swiped by all the Papers in the State. The hit of the drainage conven- tion at Crookston this week was Judge Pendergast’s address on “Actual Conditions inthe North.”’ The address presented some startling figures and some strik- ing new arguments. What Judge Pendergast said has been quoted in every one of the big papers of the state—and credited in each instance to some local celebrity. In Duluth Senator Laybourn was made to say it, in Minneapolis Ray Jones got the credit while St. Paul marked it up to State Engineer Ralph. The Minne- apolis Journal for Thursday evening published an editorial composed almost entirely of the literal words used by Judge Pendergast. The Judge should be much pleased with this testimony to the superior excellence of his ad- dress. Newspapers never steal anything but the best.

She was feeling much better than could have been expected and is now suffering no serious inconvenience from .the trials which she experienced during the six days she was lost.
