SAYS IT'S THE S00 Engineering Specifications of Bemidji-Detroit Line Bear Soo Far Marks. PARK RAPIDS WANTS LINE RUN FROM THERE NORTHWEST. Surveying Crews Are Within 12 Miles of Each Other At Lower Valley and Sucker Lakes. A prominent railroad contract- or in Bemidji this morning de- clared that heis convinced that the railroad survey now under way from Detroit to Bemidji is being undertaken by the Soo. *I haye seen the specitications for the survey’’, declared this gen- tleman to the Pioneer this morn- ing, “‘and they are identical with those always sentout by the Soo. There is absolutely no ¢unestion in my minad that the Soo is back of the survey or that it will next spring build the road.” The two suryeying crews, one working out of this city and the other out of Detroit, are now within 12 miles of each other. The former isat Sucker Lake, where it was joined this morning by Engineer Abbott, who isin charge of the survey, while the latter is at Lower Valley Lake, Mr. Abbott said that on his re- turn to Bemidji he might be able toreveal the name of the road causing the survey to be made. A delegation of Park Rapids business men waited upon Mr. Abbott yesterday and set before him the advantages of running the road into Park Rapids. The Park Rapids people, however, want the present survey aband- oned and a line run from Park Rapids northwesi—probably to Thief River Falls. COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE State Game and Fish Com- mission Will Send Deputy Warden to Tamarack. The reported wholesale slaughter of moose by Indians on the Tamarack river will be in- vestigated by the state game and fish commission, according to a letter received by Warden Rut- ledge from S. F. Fullerton, executive agent of the commis- sion. The exccutive agent was ofticially notified of the reported killing of moose by the Indians, and he considers the matter quite serious. A game warden will be immediately sent to the scene of the reported slaughter, and steps will be taken to stop the Indians from coming off the reservation to kill game. Warden Rutledge stated this morning that since he has held a position with the fish and game commis- sion he has had considerable trouble with the Indians, and that he has several times driven them back to their reservation. The Indians who have killed moose along the banks of the Tamarack river have been driven back twice, and unless the third attempt of the commission to stop the killing of big game by the Indians out of season is suc- cessful, the matter will be re- ported to Indian Agent Scott. Start Store at Puposky. 0. J. Laqua will establish a general merchandise store at Puposky, the new town at Mud lake on the Red Lake railway, and Mr. Laqua left yesterday for the twin cities, where he will purchase a stock of goods. .

DULUTH DISPATCH SAYS GROG SHOPS MUST CLOSE SEPT 10. Order Instructing Macshal to Seize Intoxicating Liquors Denied in St. Paul. Duluth, Sept. 4—United States District Attorney Haupt has de- cided to instruct the United States marshal to make a seizure of all intoxicating liquors within the Indian country after Septem. ber 10. This acticn cn the part of the United States officers grows out of the attempt to start a saloon at Ball Club near the east bound- ary of the Chippewa reservation on inherited Indian land pur- chased by F. L. Gorenflo of Cass Lake. Richard Funk éstablished a saloon and was arrested for in- troducing liquor into the Indian country and made the defense that the land on which he was conducting his saloon was no llonger Indian land, as it had been sold and the fee had passed from the original owner to the white man, Judgement was returned against him on the ground that under the act of congress prohi- biting the introduction of Jdiquor into the Indian counscry he had violated the law of 1864. This decision is sweeping in its effect as the limits of the so-called “In- dian country” embraces Bemidji, Fosston, Crookston, Cass Lake and many other towns, It is understood that the United States marshal will begin to the confiscation of all intoxicat- ing liquor at Cass Lake and will immediately follow the same course in all other towns similar- ly situated. The present plans of the gov- ernment officers are carried out in less than a month many towus in uorthern Minnesotawill go dry for the first time in existence and nothing short of an act of con- gress will raise the lid. St. Paul, Sept. 4-United States Distriet Attorney Haupt was ous of the city tonight but one of his assistants denied that any such order as that mentioned in the Duluth dispatch had been issued by his office. Local liquor dealers express doubt as to whether the goyern- ment can lawfully close the sa- loons of Bemidji or any other city similarly located, as license is paid for the opemtlon of the saloons. | AMUSEMENTS ‘ In these days of clap-trap melo-drama, silly farces —and flimsy attempts-or -light opera, like a refreshing shower aftera hot summer’s day comes the an- nouncement that we are to have a real play. On Wednesday Sept. 6 Miss Laura Frankenfield and her company will present Wilkie Collin’s beautiful play ¢Her Double Life,”” with Miss Frank- enfield as Mercy Morrick, This part will give great opportunity for dramatic work and Miss Frankenfield is fuily capable of handling it. It is a beautiful story. | There are no mock heroics, no scheming villian with cruel plans for revenge. It is all new; still there is enough ex. citement to keep an audience guessing. MAY CLOSE| IMURDER OR SUICIDE? Mysterious Death of Aged Red Lake Indian Causes Suspicions to Arise. OLD MAN HAD QUARREL WITH SON-IN-LAW. Shortly Afterwards His Body Was Found With Bullet Hole Through It. of Ka-ga-ge, an aged Red Lake Indian who was found lymng out- side-his cabin between the Bat- tle river and Maquam bay about two weeks ago with a bullet hole through his heart. It is claimed that the old man committed sui- cide, but the circumstances sur- rounding the death of the aged Indian lead some to believe that murder was committed. Ka-ga-ge came home one ¢ven- ing to find his son-in-law, Kezey, an Indian about 28, beating his wife, The old man interfered and Kezey-desisted. According to information given the Pioneer, Kezey afterwards invited the old man out of the cabin, where his body was found the next morning. The affair was reported to Overseer Dr. Caldwell of the Red Lake reservation, who re- ported if to the Indian agent at Leech Lake, with the result that Deputy U. S. Marshall Frank W. Tufts investigated, The investi- tigation resulted in not finding any witnesses that could give any direct testimony as to the manner in which Ka-ga-ge met his death. - Gave a Recital.
