The question of who shall be the first mayor of the city of Be- midji is interesting a large num- ber of citizens, although the time for the election of officers is yet some tive weeks distant many people are wondering who will be selected to administer the needs of the city as its chief ex- cutive. Several prominent citi- zens are of the opinion that a public mass meeting should be hold for the purpose of nominat- ing the first candidate for mayor, and it is generally believed that this plan is a good one. “In this manner,”’ said a business man this morning, ‘‘the people could assemble and make their own choice. After making the choice the man nominated would un- doubtedly be supported by the people as a whole, and the bitter factional tight incident to the election of a mayor where more than one candidate is nominated would be entirely aliminated.” ARRESTED FOR TIMBER THEFT Mike Walters of Turtle River Brought to Bemidji This Morning for Trial.
