S E ACCUSED OF ARSON Mrs. Frank Silversack is Charged With Trying to Burn Property. FIRE DISCOVERED IN LIVERY STABLE AND SALOON. Woman Was Arrested Yesterday And Is Held at County Jail Awaiting Hearing. Charged on two counts of com- mitting arson, Louise Silversack, wife of Frank Silversack, pro- prietor of a saloon and livery stable at the corner of Minnesota avenue ond Fourth street, is held at the county jail awaiting her preliminary examination, which was today postponed until Aug. 15. Fire evidently of an incendiary origin was discovered yesterday afternoon by Mr. Silversack as he was entering the stable, which is located at the rear of the saloon. Flames were coming from one of the mangers of the barn and in a few moments would un- doubtedly have spread to all parts of the building. Mr. Sil- versack drew water from a pump located in the barn and threw it upon the fire, succeeding in checking the blaze. Upon further examination of the saloon and the bara it was found that an attempt had been made to fire the saloon building, a large wad of paper having heen lit and stuffed into a cupboard which had been left in a room on the second floor of the building. This fire had been distinguished before it was discoyered, prob- ably by the closing of the cup- board door after the blaze had started. Murs. Silversack was arrested by Chief of Police Bailey yester- day aftercoon and taken to the county jail by Sheriff Bailey, where she is now held. It is not probable that bonds can be se- cured. The two charges against the woman are arson in the first de- gree and arson in the second de- gree, the first for firing the saloon and the second for firing the stable. The term of punishment for ar- son in the second degree is from seyen to thirty years in the peni- tentiary and for arson in the third degree one to seven years. The hearing will take place be- fore Judge Pendergast. The complaints against Mrs. Silver- sack were sworn to by her hus- band. Initiations Tonight.

Could not Be Run Beeause of the Strike. Thirteen proved an unlucky ! number for the Little Falls base ball team yesterday afternoon, ! when in the thirteenth game played during the season it lost to - Bemidji straight from other fast teamsin the central part of the state, The game was witnessed by the largest crowd that has attended a base ball contest during the present season, the number of persons present béing consider- _|ably over 500. LeGore was in the box for the locals, but when he threw the| first ball a defect in the pitcher’s | plate caused him tolosea portion of skin and flesh from his faot and this, together w1th a sore arm, made pitching a rather diffi- cult feat for the little southpaw. He held the Little Falls bunch down to seven hits in five innings, however, but was forced to give up the pitcher’s position to Hazen in the sixth. Hazen pitched ex- | cellent ball for the remainder of the game, striking out two men and allowing only two hits. No scores were made in the first inning, but in the second Little Falls started a fireworks display by getting safe hits, and these coupled with errors on the Bemidj side, netted them four scores. Bemidji came right back with four in the last Lalf of the third inning and each team made two in the fourth, making the score 6 to 6. Neither side scored in the fifth. In the sixth Bemidji rolled up two more and Little Falls sent one man across the plate. Little Falls failed to score after the sixth, while Bemidji made another tally in the seventh, making the score at the finish 9 to 7. .The manager of the Little Falls team was unable to secure the special excursion train which it had been intended to :un to Be. midji for the game on account of the telegrapher’s strike, and some disappointment was mani- fested that it was impossible to bring a larger crowd to see the game. The score: RHE Bemidji.... 00420210 9 8 4 Little Falls. 040201000 7 9 9 Manager Barker of the local team expects to secure the Superior league team for a game next Sunday.

Bemidj Pioneer, Bemidji, Gentlemen: I noticed in this week’s Pioneer an article about the experimental farm of Jas. Misner near Farley. Mr. Misner has a finely located farm righton the banks of Turtle river, this is his second year and he has done remarkably well for so short a time and his experiments will be valuable to prospective settlers looking for a location. It would not be fair to overlook two of the bonanza farmers of Turtle - River township, Theo. Snyder and Albert Utech, who are situated on the shores of Little Bass Lake,and have as good land as lays outdoors anywhere. The soil is of .the very best,sa rich black loam. Mr. Utech has only been here three years, and this year he has over 20 acres in crop, 15 acres of oats, (some over five feet tall) that will go at least 50 bushel per acre, two acres of barley, equally as good, two acres of potatoes, the finest ever grown, They say it takes a German to raise fine vegetables and have a find, clean garden,and Mr. Utech certainly does not have to take the back seat for anybody in that line. He hasall kinds of vege- tables and the beauty of it is they areall ANo.1 and not a weed among them, Any unbelieving Thomas who thinks Beltrami county soil is no good just come to Turtle River and the writer can show you as good a crop or better than you ever laid your eyes on, small grain, vegetables, strawberries or anything else. It takes a little bard work to get things started, but a person is well paid for his labor, You can always notice where a good thnfty farmer lives there are new ' improvements every year and lots of them, There are several thrifty farm- CRAZY MAN MEETS JAP| VEGETABLES| RUNS AMUCK Patient at St. Anthony’s Hos- pital Escapes-and Creates ° Excitement. Willace Marsh, a patient at St. Anthony’s hospital who has been confined for some time past suf- fering with a severe illness, Sat- urday night made his escape from the institution by leaping to the ground from a second story window and ran to the home of A. J. Gillman, 10th street and Minnesota avenue, where he en- tered the house, and, graspinga flatiron being used by Mrs. Gil- man he lay down upon the floor and began to strike his head, Marsh was attired in his night shirt and his appearance caused Mrs, Gilman to run screaming from the house. Her screams attracted the attention of other ladies living in the near proxim- ity and together they succeeded in rousing a number of men who kept Marsh engaged until guards rom the hospital arrivea and took him in charge, returning him to the hospital. Marsh was out of his right mind for the time 'being and was not responsible for his actions. The injuries he received as a result of striking himself with the flatiron are not serious. ers in Turtle River township worthy of mention, although they have not made as rapid pro- gress as Mr. Utech for the sub- stantial buildings and well stocked. What Beltrami county wants is good thrifty farmers willing to work and improve the country. There is just as_good land here as there is where land is worth $20 t0 $30 per acre, and better adapted for diyersified farming. A. O. JOENSON New Recruiting Office Opened.
