ON TRAIL OF A LOST FORTUNE German Student Dreams of Re- covering Gorder ‘Property in Beltrami and Polk Counties. 4 REMORS OF UNCLE'S BIG ESTATE LURES HIM WEST Gorder Died Sometime in the Eighties Unknown to Eastern Heirs. Crookston, July 13.—Louis Missner arrived in the city this morning from the town of Chest er and calling at the clerk of court’s office began a search for certain papers that will make him heir to one of the largest inheritances in the northwestern part of the state. If his quest proves successful, Mr. Missner who arrived in this country from over the pond about five years ago, will become the owner of large tracts of land in Red Lake county and in the central part of the ceded portions of Beltrami county. Mr, Missner called at the clerk of courts office two times this morning and pored over thebooks there with the deputy clerk try- ing to discover certain evidences with regard to a certain great uncle, Carl Gorder, who settled in the east part of Polk county about twenty years ago and accumu- lated large properties. Carl Gorder came from Provi- dence, Rhode Island, at that WAGER OF $300 ON HORSE RACE Newby and Leonard Sign Agree- ment for Contest During Carnival Week. A deal was closed yesterday between Thomas Newby of this city and Ed Leonard for what ought to prove one of the most exciting horse racesin the his- tory of the city. The stake will be $600, $300 having been put up by each man, and the contest- ants will be Wheelock’s pony, “Little Boy,” and Leonard’s “Curly.” The race has been under dis- cussion for the last week, Mr. Newby starting it by a challenge on behalf of the pony. According to the articles of agreement signed yesterday the race is to be held on the second day of the street carnival, August 13, and will be a quarter- mile dash on the track at the fair grounds. The winner of two dashes out of three isto take the money. The event will be pulled off at 2 p. m. KILLING OF COW MOOSE CHARGED B. F. Ward Case to Be Tried Soon at Grand Rapids—Stephens a Witness. P. C. Stephens, ex-warden for the state game and fish commis- time and was a fugitive from justice on account of mild crimes. After settling here he invested all of agreat fortune in trade with the Indians and eventually in Indian lands. It was such information as this drifting back to his old home in Providence that formed the trial that brought the German student Louis Missner into this country today to recover the lost threads, of fortunes that have gone into other hands. Carl Gorder’s crime led to the separation of hir and his wife without however a divorce and his children married, which after the passing of time left Louis Missner who is in the city today the sole surviving heir of an im- mense and much tangled estate. Mr. Missner is a German student, having studied in the old country,and carries every im- pression of so being. He said that the matter was called to his attention by the recital of stories at a family reunion at the Ameri- can family fireside in Cambridge, Massachusetts, about ten months. ago and he determined to look up the mysterious fate of his uncle ] S of whom all track had been lost, | It was only after a visit into the i town of Chester and neighbor- i hood that he discovered any clue. Carl Gorder died some time in the eighties and lived where Gully now is,a small village in the northern part of the county of Polk. Mr. Missner will.be in the city probably tomorrow until he makes certain determinations here with regard to thedeath and papers of his uncle and then he will go to Bemidji wljgite a:great deal of the records are still.to be found. i INVITED TO HAWAII, President Is Asked to Visit Sandwich Islands, Honolulu, July 13—Governor Carter has written to President Roosevelt, in- viting him to visit the Hawallan isl- ends, in connectlon with the expressed intention of the president to go to Panama. Governor Cafter suggests that the president return by means of a triangular trip from the isthmus to Honolnlu and thence to San Fran- clsco. The Bazaar Store The Bazaar Store special sale will’ commence next week, at which time mafy mid- summer bargains sion, came down this morning from his home at Margie, Itasca county, and left this noon for Grand Rapids, where he will appear in the case of the State vs. B. F. Ward of Fairmont, charged with having killed a cow moose. Mr, Stephens was ac- companied by Ole H. Olson, Ole Johnson and Mathiag Hollo, wit- nesses for the state. Ward, in company with B. F, Boyd of Bramnerd, hunted for big game in Spruce Grove town- ship, near the Margie postoffice, during the month of November, 1904. Complaint was made to the game warden, Mr. Stephens, that Boyd and Ward had killed a cow moose, the killing of which is'strictly prohibited at all times by the game and fish laws of the state. Both hunters were arrested, and when tried before Justice Shiere at Northome at a later date they were found guilty and were fined $50 and costs, An appeal was taken to the district court of Itasca county, and when Boyd'’s case was called last win- ter he was allowed to plead guilty, and paid a fine of $50 and costs, amounting in all to over $300. Ed Ward’s case was continued over the term and will be tried at Grand Rapids on Saturday of this week, or Monday of next week. Sentiment against both Boyd and Ward is very strong among thesssettlers and homesteaders around Margie, and it is prob- able if any similar acts are com- mitted in the future there will be some strenuous measures taken to rid the country of pot hunters who have little or no respect for the law. WORK OF TRAIN WRECKERS, Freight Derailed and Three Persons Killed. Petersburg, Ind., July 13.—A ‘west: bound freight train on the Southern railway was wrecked at the Jackson Mine siding, eight miles west of this place. John B. Fanning, fireman, Princeton, and Luther Cappart, brake. man, Winslow, were killed and W. B. McWilliams, engineer, New Albany, ‘was fatally injured. After the wreck it was discovered that both ends of. the switch were spiked. The westhound - ‘passenger train was delayed and thus escaped being wrecked. Bloodhounds have been sent for and an effort will be made to hunt out the ‘wreckers. The railroad company owns the Mu- ren coal mines, which paid the ad- vanced scale demanded by the miners Tecently, and caused some resentment in certain quarters. There is no clew, however. _FIRE DESTROYS TOWN, —_ Twcnty&vyo Buildings Burned at Lynn- ville, Ind.

J, An- derson, who lives with her sou in the town of Anthony, was found dead by her grandchildren the other morning while they were going after the cattle, She had been in the habit of going out in the pasture in the evenings making smudges for the cattle and from bruises found on her body it is thought that she had either ‘been attacked by the beasts or knocked down in some way and'that they trampled on her. Owing to the fact that she lived alone in a little house near her| son’s place, her absence was not discovered until Sunday morn- ing. CLOUDBURST AND LANDSLIDE Crookston, July 18.—The first annual picnic of the Modern Miunesota Woodmen’s Picnic association held in Crookston yesterday will go down as one of the most pleasant events of the kind ever held in the state. The trains arriving Wednesday: evening from Greenbush, the Fosston line and from the west brought good delegntionp, and yesterday morning the trains also had a large number of ex- cursionists. The largest delegation, how- ever, arrived from the north at 9:30 yesterday morning on the special train which was run from St. Vincent to this city, every coach of which was crowded with enthusiastic Woodmen and their friends, headed by the Warren band. The Crookston band and the reception committee met all the trains and when the special from the north arrived the parade was formed and all the Woodmen in uniform, headed by the twol! bands, Chief Eck and a platoon of police with J. N. Kirsch and Dr. Fred Mitchell of Euclid, mounted, in the lead, and traversed the business section of the city with banners unfurled to the breeze and numerous amusing placards displayed. Conspicuous in the parade were the Woodmen in uniform from Euclid, Hallock, Kennedy and Crookston, these camps hav- ing the largest representation. On account of the heavy - rain Wedresday evening the program for the morning was “postponed till afternoon, the festivities at the City Park beginning at 1 o’clock. Among the speakers at the picnic were Congressman Steenersonand Former Governor Van Sant. Lived in the City Four or Five Months for Her Health. Nathan Riggs, the Omaha con- ductor who murdered Miss Mil- lie Ellison at the National hotel in Minneapolis Tuesday after- noon, was known in Bemidji through his wife and daughter, who spent one whole summer hare, five years ago. Mrs. Riggs and her 10-year-old daughter came to the city early in the spring of 1901 and did not leave until fall. Mrs. Riggs was in somewhat poor health at that time and she was here for an outing. Mother and daughter boarded with Mr. and Mrs. H, W. Bailey on Minnesota avenue and made a wide circle of friends, Those who became acquainted with her say that the woman whose husband committed such a hideous crime was a very pleasant person to know and appeared in every way to bea gentlewoman, BLACKDUCK MAN LOST IN SWAMP Designs drawn and estimates given.

New York, July 13.—A cable dis- patch which was received at the Gua- temalan consulate general in this city formally notified the Guatemalan rep- resentative here that Salvadorean troops have invaded Guatemala. The cablegram was as follows: “Government forces from Salvador have invaded Guatemalan territory, thus forcing us to make a determined stand.” Tom Cloney, Lumber Camp Cook, Believed to Have Perished. Blackduck, July 18.—Tom Cloney, a cook and well-known character hereabouts, is thought to have perished in “Minnesota’s Dismal Swamp' while on his way from here to Irvine’s camp at Pine Island. He left here July 2, having hired out to J. A. Irvine & Co. Reaching Ripple on the Third he started for camp and since then nothing has been heard of him. A searching party left Ripple yesterday in hopes of finding some trace of the missing man. As the country is uninhabited it is quite improbable that he will be found alive.
