John Lank, Accused of Seliing Liquor to Indians, Was Discharged. Special Agent Cornwall of the Interior Department returned this afternoon from Fergus Falls, where he appeared as a witness for the government in the case of the United States against Soren Sorenson, Jr., accused of stealing timber from government land. L Sorenson was yesterday found guilty of taking 90 trees from land upon which he had filed but upon which he had not proven up. The value of the timber taken is about $175, As yet Federal Judge Amidon has not imposed a sentence. Sorenson was defended by Attorney C. A. Pitkins of this city. The penalty for stealing tim- ber for government land is a fine of three times the value of the timber taken and imprisonment for not less than one year nor {more than three. Sorenson is a resident near Buena Vista, where his aged father is now living. John Lank, who was arrested charged with selling liquor to- Indians at Nebish, was dis- charged. WORKED NEAT SWINDLE GAME Minnesota Avenue Merchant Falls Into Trap That Was Laid For Him. One of the most clever swind- ling games ever worked in Be- midji was successfully perpetra- ted upon W. G. Schroeder yes- terday forenoon. Two well dressed men entered his store on Minnesota avenue. One bought a small quantity of goods and presented a $20 gold certifi- cate in payment. Theclerk did not have the change and he went back to Mr. Schroeder’s desk, where change was made and given 1o the purchaser. The latter, after receiving his bundle, walked back to the desk and asked Mr. Schroeder if he could give him a $10 bill for that amouut of silver. Mr. Schroeder passed out the biil and as he did so the swindler asked if he could give him back the gold certificate for change. Mr. Schroeder re- plied in the affirmative and handed out the certificate and | the swindler gave him back the $10 in silver which he first laid out on the desk and the $10 bill which Mr. Schroeder had laid on the desk, thus coming out $10 winner on the transaction. Mr. Schroeder discovered his mis- take in a short time and aftera ° vigorous search found the two men at the Great Northern depot. One was placed in the bhands of the police and taken to head- quarters, where he gave back the $10 and was allowed to go. Specia groceries.
