IS BUNDLED BACK AND FORTH Joe Martell Has Home Neither in Beltrami Nor Cass Counties. To be bundled back and forth from one county to another seek- jpg medical aid seems to be the fate of Joe Martell, who was a patient at St. Anthony’s hospital several days ago but who was ordered taken to Walker, Cass county, because the authorities here could tind no evidence of the man’s ever having a residence in this county. Martell it is claimed by the Beltrami county authorities, was injured at Cass Lake at the J. Neils Lumber com. pany’s sawmill. Itisfurther said that, to avoid the payment of Martell’s hospital bill by Cass county, the man was shipped to Bemidji. The authorities here took charge of the man but upon learning thathe was nota resi- dent of the county and believing __that he had been injured at Cass Lake,they shipped him to Walker, Martell was brought back to Be- midji Saturday night by Deputy Sheriff Trowbridge, the Cass county authorities claiming that he was not a resideht there. Martell is in this city now, but what disposition will be made of ‘im is unknown. Will Start Laundry at Akeley. ‘W. L.

POOR PLAYING LOST THE GAME Many Errors Made by Be- midji Men Responsible for Victory for Superior. A half dozen errors on the part of Burke, second baseman for the Bemidji team, and at least one for nearly every other man in the lineup, was responsible for the Superior league team making 15 scores in the game yesterday afternoon, while the locals only succeeded in getting six. The game was a very poor exhibition and after the firstinning there seemed to be a lack of ‘“ginger” on both sides, Cook, the Deer River man who was engaged to pitch the game, showed up in poor form and the leaguers touched him wup for 15 hits. The Bemidji men gotnine hits off Sorenson, the Superior man. About 400 people attended the game, but long before the con- test was over half of them had left the grounds disgusted with the showing made by both teams. THISTLES ARE NUMEROUS Canadian Weed Spreading All Oyer Say Reports From the North. Reports from the country sur- rounding towns located on the M. & L. north of Bemidji are to the effect that if they areallowed to grow Canadian thistles will be as thick in a few years’as they were in some sections of North Dakota several years ago. 1t is stated that in the vicinity of Blackduck and Funkley the weeds are numerous and that a patch can be found on almostevry burning or tract of cut-over land, It is the duty of village and town- ship officers to stop the spread of thistles, but in some sections along the M. & I. there has been very little attention paid to the extermination of the weed. WAIVED THE EXAMINATION P J. B. Montague, Accused of Assaulting Daughter, Held to Grand Jury. J. B. Montague, the Spooner man who is held at the Beltrami county jail charged ‘with having assaulted his 17 year old daugh- ter, has waived the preliminary examination and will await the action of the grand jury, which will convene in this city on Sep- tember 19. BIG EVENT IS PLANNED| i - Firemen Making Attempt to Hold Special Tourna- ment in Bemidji. L P RACES WILL BE FOR' CHAMP- IONSHIP OF STATE. Local Department Will Ask Busi- ness Men’s Club To Lend . Its Aid. A specialfiremen’s tournament, the races in which will be for the championship of the state, is be- ing planned by members of the local department, who tonight will wait, upon a representative of the Park Rapids. running team, which won the banner at the meet recently held at Eveleth. According to present plans, the tournament will be two day meet, and the running teams of Cass Lake, Blackduck and Grand Rapids departments will be in- vited to take part in the races in addition to the Park Rapids team, which wishes to compete with Bemidji for the state champion- ship. The meeting will be held in Bemidji if suitable arrange- ments can be made, otherwise the races will take place at Wal- ker, the citizens of which village have offered to put up good purses for the event. At the meeting of the local de- partment this evening, it is prob- able that a resolution asking the Business Men’s club to lend its aid will be passed. The business men have, since the failure of the Fourth of July celebration in Be- midji, planned upon a carnival to take the place of the national holiday celebration which fell flat, and a number of leading firemen have expressed a wish that the carniyal and tournament be made a joint event. DEPUTY TUFTS GETS BAD INDIAN Instigator of Bear Island Up- rising of a Year Ago Cap- tured Near Walker. Deputy U. S. Marshall Frank C. Tuft, who was a visitor in the city the other day, reports a rather exciting experience which he had not long since in arrest- ing a bad Indian near Walker. The Indian was none other than the famous Gay-zhe-gwon-e-aush, the instigator of the Bear Island uprising at Leech Lake a year or two ago in which Major Wilken- son lost his life. “Gay” isa de- cidedly hard character and the terror of all the Indian police up north. He has been in hid- ing ever since the maasacre and has sent several defiant messages to the authorities to come and get him. Ee said there were not enough deputy marshals in northern Minnesota to arrest him and his previous reputation was such that it was generally believed that he would never be captured alive, The Indians had a big war dance at Bena early in July and it was learned that the much wanted Indian was with the rest of the natives. Frank was sent after him and was given 12 In- dian policemen to assist him but when the time came for the show down the escort skipped and Frank was able to get but one of them to get near enough to iden- tify the Indian he was after. However, the right man was spotted and on a bluff pure and simple, “Gay,” though surround- ed by several hundred of bhis friends, gave in like a little man and was. marched off to the depot and taken quickly to Walker. The capture was a risky piece of business and no one but a man of good nerve would have cared for the job. Mrs. U. B. Wise:— If you love your husband, feed him good bread. There is nothing that makes a good husband like good bread and there is nothing that makes good bread like Barlow’s Best flour. STUMP PULLER DEALS DEATH Fred Shepherd Killed In- stantly While Working . Near Becida. Fred Shepherd, a resident of Hubbard county who lives about six miles south of Becida post- office, was struck by the sweep of a stump puller while working near his farm and instantly killed. Shepherd was working in company with George Still- well, another Hubbard county resident. The two men had fastened the end of the cable which is attached to the stump puller to a stump but found that they had made a mistake in fast- ening it too high upon the stump. The horse being used on the machine was unhitched and the sweep of the stump puller swung around and struck Still- well; who was held fast between the sweep and the puller, * Shep- herd procured a crowbar and liberated his companion, but when the sweep of the stump puller was loosened it swung about and Shepherd, who was| standing directly in its path, was struck in the side and instantly killed. Most Northerly in United States. Beltrami county has the uni- que distinction of being the most northerly county in United States proper. Of course this does not mean that this county is situated as far north as Alaska, but a portion of it it extends about forty miles north of the 49th paralled which forms the northern boundary of the United States from Lake of the Woods to Puget Sound or the Pacific Ocean. There is a block of land and is- lands along the western portion of Lake of the Woods. The block of land contains about four town- ships and is attached to the southeastern portion of Mani- toba. This part of tie county is known as the Northwest Angle. THE BemipJi ELEVATOR Co. H.C. CALVERT, Mgr. Bemidji. Yours for Bemidji, Beltrami and Barlow’s Best, BEMIDJI ELEVATOR. CO. Minn., August, 1905.
