VOLUME 4. NUMBER 107. BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1906. PROSPECT OF AN IRON ORE |[CORONER’S JURY |BANK: URGLARS DEPOSIT STIRS KELLIHER| SAYS FOUL PLAY) - LERTE NO GLUE Men Who Crapked Safe of Mentor Drilling Is Going on at the Neighboring Village and It Is Expected That Ore Will Be Discovered There in a Short There is considerable subdued excitement among the citizans of Kelliher, who are awaiting the outcome of the work of a party which has been quietly prospect- ing on lands adjoining the town- site of Kelliber, looking for de- posits of iron ore. The preliminary well has been dug, and tomorrow the sand drill will be installed, and itis believed at Kelliher that, within ten days, the news will go broad- cast that a deposit of iron ore, of the “pay dirt”’ quailty, will have been discovered, and that the contention that Kelliher is located onanextended westernarm of t' e famous Mesaba iron range will have been proven to be true. For several years, it has been surmised that there were de- posits of iron in and around where the present village of Kelliher islocated. Cruisersand others working in the woods complained that their compasses would not register correctly and that it was impossible to get accurate data except with solar instruments, indicating the in- fluence of mineral deposits. These conditions indicate that the deposits extend in a direction south of west and north of east]| of Kelliher. A man named Bolson owned large tracts of land about Kelli- her and when he disposed of his holdings, he reserved the mineral rights on the land. Recently, there has been much activity indicative af Bolson’s intention to thoroughly prospect the ter- ritory and develop the mineral resources that are everywhere evident. Mr. Longyear, the largest Time. owner and operator of drills in the north part of the state, has brought adrill to Kelliher, and recently set a crew of men to work at a point about three- | quarters of a mile directly south |of the main street in Kelliher. This craw finished digging the well yesterday, getting sufficient water for further operations, at a depth of forty feet. Today the |sand drill is being installed, and | when rock is reached the diamond drill will ba used. It is not known at how great a depth rock will be encounlered,l ias no one in the vicinity of Kelli- iher has yet found rock, although one hole for a well was sunk ninety-six feet. It is the intention of Mr. Long- year to thoroughly prospect Sec- tion 2-151-30, and on the results found there will depend largely operations in other localities about Kelliher. A carload of machinery is on the ground at Kelliher to be used in connection with the work, and when needed several more car- loads will be shipped in. Long- year has drills working at Bovey rand Brainerd, and he intends to use some that are in operation at those places in his work at Kelli- her, If ore is discovered in paying} quantities in the vicinity of Kelli- | herit will mean very much to the future of that village;-as- as to the whole of Beltrami county. ,It will inaugurate a new indu§try for this county,‘ and necessitate the employment | of hundreds of men and the ex- penditure of large sums of] money. Railroad fér Lake George. W. A, Cassler was in the city yesterday afternoon from Lake George, where he is in the employ of the Red River Lumber com- pany. He states that the new |L:ake George this year, railroad being built by the Red River Lumber company from Akeley to Lake George is now within two miles of Lake George and will be completed this week. The survey of the road is com- pleted to Mallard lake, but the rails will not be laid farther than Blank books and office suppnes at the Pioneer Office. Inquest Is Held Over the Body of Frank Wade, the Indian. G. C. Chesterman, coroner, and James H. Maybury, county attorney of Polk county, held an inquest at Ebro yesterday over the remains of Frank Wade, the Indian who was found lying be- side the railroad tracks Saturday morning. The jury returned a verdict of death by violence -at the hands of unknown parties, which practically admits foul play. That the causes leading to the death of Wade were not natural and that he met with foul play is being accepted on every hand. The matter will be thoroughly probed. No definite clues have yet been unearthed, but the Polk county -officials are working on the case and expect to have tang- ible clues and evidence in the very near future. Burned Man Was Cottet. The ascertaining of the identity of the two men who were burned in the fire at Larimore last Sun- day night has caused many con- flicting names to be used as thnse of the unfortunate victims. It has been definitely settled that one of the men burned is Henry Krause, of this city. The other body found in the fire was first thought to have been Frank Anderson, also of this city, but it is now stated that it is-that of { Frank Cottet of Crookston, and that Krause and Cottet left ton. together last Friday | morning, going to the Dakota harvest fields looking for work, They drove a team, which Cot- tet had purchased from a Crooks- ton man, and which was burned in the Larimore fire. According to information fur- nishzd the Pioneer, the body of Henry Krause was brought from Larimore to Crookston last even: ing and was to be buried today at Lockhart, Minn., a former home of the deceased, where his parents now reside. ‘Henry Krause hved in Crooks- ton for several years and was well known there. SOME PEOPLE EXPECT NEW SHOES TO HURT - And they are seldom disappointed. kind. The fart that a shoe should feel comfortable from the start is unknown to them because they have never felt the luxury of putting on a rightly made shoe. They_ overiook the fact that a Hanan shoe at its price gives the wear of two pairs of the kind they buy. They forget, also, that a HANAN SHOES offers more real comfort when new than their kind of shoes offer after months of wear—that it starts out a smart, stylish shoe and ends just as smart and stylish. There are not so many such people as there know this because we sell so many more Hanan shoes than we used. Maybe you prove these facts. Look at our latest styles in $3.50 & $5 shoes.

The robbers who looted the safe at Mentor and mades clean get-away with $1,200 yesterday morning, have evidently left the country with their booty and will probably: never be appre- hended. B ‘Word comés from Mentor that Louis Gonyéh, sheriff of Polk county, and Chief Eck of the Croosston police force, spent yesterday at Mentor, but al- though every effort was made to unearth a clue to the identity of the robbers, nothing was found that cculd be of aid to the officers in their search. The thieves did not take a single paper of any kind that can possibly be identified, and everything connected with the robbery strongly indicates the work of professional cracksmen, who had planned their every action with the utmost care, leaving behind them nothing that would lead to their apprehension. The bank building was not in- jured, only the doors of the vault being demolished. The robbers evidently had keys to the bank, as bnth the front and baclc doors were unlocked, They | stole some tools from the Great Northern bridge carpenter, who was working.in Mentor, and who kep$ his chests under the bridge. : Tae Bank:of M :ntor isowned by J'qsepBTagiey of Mentor, who acted. .as _cashier, and A. D. Stephens of Crookston. The financial standing of the institu- tion was not affectéd any by the robbery, as ‘cash was secured from Crookston and the regular business of the bank was trans- acted yesterday. MUST BE TORN DOWN. Many Modern Houses in Santiago Irre- parably Damaged. Santiggo, Chile, Aug. 22.—Only now can the ‘serlousness of the catastrophe begin t0 be appreciated. The greater part of the modern houses here are unsafe for habitation and the authori- ties have organized a special corps to' pull down the tottering buildings. In most of the streets it is not safe to walk oh the pavement owing to falling debris. Santiago resembles a camp. The public squares and the principal ave- nues are crowded with people sleeping in the open. All kinds of carriages and carts have been requisitioned to sleep in or even under them. The night of Aug. 16 was rendered dreadful by flashing lightning and pouring rain, the electric cables and wires snapping as a result of the cen- stant, strgng earth shocks which oc- curred all ‘ that night, causing the greatest consternation, which was heightenqd by the pealing of the fire bells annbuncing the breaking out of fires in various quarters of the city. Each earth shock was followed by wails and prayers from the people, who were kneeling in the rain and mud. The first great shock lasted four minutes and fifty seconds. Such a long shock had never occurred be- fore in the memory of any inhabitant of Santiago. It caused the bells of the churches to ring, pictures swung out from the walls and there was a great heaving moticn of the ground. Ex- perts say :that the only thing which saved Santiago from complete ruin was that the motion was circular. The principal shock was from Val- paraiso to Santiago and Meripilla, with its center at Limache. The last two named towns were destroyed, as were also Quillota and Lialllai. Several hundred dclegates from all parts of the Unitpd States and some from Europe are .attending the twen- tieth annual convgntion of the United Master Butchers' assoclation at Mil: waukee. General Manager Fwing of the Dark District Tobacco Growers’ assoclation has ordered an advance of about 50 cents per hundred pounds in the price of all medium.and good grades of leat tobacco. So urgent has bgcome the demand for laborers in the Pacific Northwest that the Northern Racific rallway has decided to make a tcduced rate from the East to all poinfs In Oregon and ‘Washington.

On track—No, 1 hard, PLAY HIBBING o Bemudji Ball Team to Go to Range City for a Double Header. B The Bemidji baseball team will play at Hibbing Sunday, and there will be no game here. A proposition was made to the locals to play two games there Sunday afternoon and the offer was accepted. The team will be strengthened by the addition of Charles Bungo, the swift first baseman of the disbanded Akeley team. The Bemidji team has been compelled to play one of the pitchers on the initial sack and Bungo’s acqui- sition will be hailed with delight by the fans. It is also very likely that Healy, who played third base for the Blackduck team here last week, will play with Bemidji. Healey is also a catcher and can relieve Roy, should the latter’s hand not be in good condition for the games. The Alexandria baseball team won a game from Long Prairie, at Sauk Center, Sunday, by a scoreof 5t)>4. The game was for a purse of $100 a side. Arneson and Lemm were the battery for Long Prairie and Bailey and McCauley did like service for Alexandria. The game was witnessed by a very large crowd, the Great Northern running an excursion from Long’ Prairie to Sauk Center for the accommodation of Long Prairie people, and the receipts of the game amounted to $800. The gamo was'a hotly-eontested one, and was lost to Long Prairie principally through costly errors made by Boughton, who played second base for Long Prairie, and who ade four errors that let in runs. KEEPS HIS IDENTITY. SECRET. Secretary Wilson Visits Scuth Omaha Packinghouses. Omaha, Aug. 22.—Secretary of Agri- eultwre Wilson arrived in South Omaha early in the day and visited all the packinghouses. Secretary Wilsen did not make himself known and after a brief inspection cf the several plants left the town without giving out any information other than to intimate that everything was found to be in a satisfactory condition. DIVORCE DECREES INVALID. Tnoperative Owing to Failure to Be Entered on Record. New York, Aug. 2”7—Discovery was made during the day by investigators of the United States ceasus burcau who are Jooking up divorce statistlcs dn this city that many of the divorce decisions in the old court of common pleas are inoperative because no de- cree has been entered upon the rec- ords. In hundreds of cases in which the court has ordered that decrees of separation should issue the order for judgment has not been submitted to the court by counsel for the successful party. Thus no final order could fis- sue. In many such cases the parties to the divorce have been married again. It was stated that such marriages are void and can' only be legalized by ac: tlon of the lagislature and that much confusion and inconvenience to the interested parties is’ certain to ensue. The court of common pleas is no longer in existence. MORE ~REASSURING NEWS. Earthquake Less Terrible Than First Reported.

J. Bryan for the resig- nation of Roger C. Sullivan from the national committee, Despite the fact that Bryan had declared that he did not wish to be endorsed unless Sulli- van was repudiated, the conven- tion declared him to be the one and only man capableof leading the democratic party to victory in 1908. : The endorsement of Bryan and the tabling of a motion calling for the resignation. of Sullivan came at the close of the most ex- citing session of the convention in which there were several fights, and throughout which confusion reigned supreme. The committee on resolutions declined to report a plank calling for the resignation of Sullivan anda debate followed upon a motion made in the convention by Judge Owen Thompson ef Jacksonville calling for Sullivan’s resignation. Sullivan, speaking in his own behalf, declared that the ear of Bryan had been poisoned against him and that the demand for his resignation sprang from his personal enemies. Great feeling was displayed on both sides during the debate and at times personalities of a disa- greeable character were made by various speakers. BIG ADVANGE IN HILL STOCKS GAIN OF SIXTEEN POINTS FOR THE DAY IN GREAT NORTH- ERN PREFERRED. New York, Aug. 22.—The stock mar- ket was wildly excited at the opening. Transactions were once more in enor- mous volume. The tone at the outset was weak, resulting largely from heavy realizing for profits in a number of Issues which recently scored extensive gains. Amalgamated Copper, Atchi- son and Pennsylvania fell from lo 2 points, but corresponding gains were made by Great Northern preferred and Louisville and Nashville. - The ‘market turned strong before the end of the half hour, when miost of the early losses were recovered. A feature of the first hour ‘was the picking up of many minor issues. Following the brief period of com- parative dullness and lower prices the market. gathered renewed strength in the second hour. The features were the Hill issues, Great Northern pre- ferred advancing over 10 points, Paul, Colorado - Fuel, - Amalgamated Copper, Anaconda Copper, Republic Iron and Steel and American Locomo. tive making smaller gains. Sales of stocks to noon were 1,167,000 shares. The sensational feature of the noon hour was the advance in Great North- ern preferred, which rose to 324%, a gain of over 16 points for ‘the .day. The rise in this stock revived the old time rumor of the consummation of the ore deal between the Hill proper- tles and the United Bfates Steel cor- poration, but no news developed on this point. N Bound for South Dakota. Chicago, Aug. 22.—Theodore and Kermit Roosevelt, sons of the presi- dent, slipped quietly into Chicago dur- ing the day and spent the day sight- seeing. 'The brothers, accompanied by two college friends of Theodore, Jr., are en route to South Dakota for a hunting and fishing trip. FIGHT FUR PARTY CONTROL ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS IN CONVEN- TION AT PEORIA FACE BIT- TER CONTEST. Peoria, I, Aug. 22.—The Demo- oratic state convention met here dur- ing the day to nominate candidates for state treasurer, state superintend- ent of public instruction and for three trustees of the University of Illinois. In reality, however, the convention ‘was more of a fight for the control of the state party machinery bétween the faction headed by National Commit- teeman Roger C..Sullivan of Chicago ters hus asked the resignation of Suk livan from the. national committee on the groind “that Sullivan used -4m- proper methods to obtain his position two years ago. Sullivan has not only refused to resign, but he and his friends resent what they term the in- terference of Mr. Bryan in their state politics. Before the convention both sides— predicted success. Sullivan asserted that he controlled 1,400. out of the 1,665 delegates and the Bryan people, who are headed by Judge Owen P. Thompson of Jacksomwille and Con- gressman William E. Rafney, gave no figures, but were confident that they controlled the situation. i The Bryan followers accepted Judge C. C. Bogss, the choice of the state central committee, for temporary chairman. e ey _ Robbery Supposed Motive.
