- A THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEEL VOLUME 4. NUMBER 121 BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1906. LAWN SPRINKLING 1S | F[IRBIDDEN FOR DAY como, wic Tomorrow (Sunday) Declared Day by City Council —All Water Half Force. REPLENISHING OF SUPPLY IN BiG TANK. REASON FOR ACTION Water Exhausted and Pump Cannot Catch Up, Leaving No Proper Fire Proteclion. The lid will be clapped on the lawn sprinkler tomorrow. By order of the water committee of the city council all playing of the hose upon the grass must stop for a period, and Sunday has been chosen asthe “dry” day. Not only this, but water all over the city will be reduced to one-half force all day long, and those who would dvaw, must use a little more time in the drawing. The reason for the mandate is that the water supply in the big tank is exhausted and it is necessary t) take some measures to replenish it, Reckless waste of water by those who have let their sprinklers run all night, combined with the unusually large consumption caused by the hot weather, has drained the surplus supp'y of water in the tank; and try as it will, the big engine which every minute forces three barrelsof liquid into the tank, cannot catch up and overcome the handicap. As much water ascan be vumped is being used daily, and the tank remuins empty. This state of affairs is danger- ous. It leaves the city without a water supply, should there bea fire, and the water committee, after studying the problem, decided that the only way to eiwtech up and get the tank in shape once more is to reduce the supply furnished the city to one half for a day, and cut out sprinkling entively for twenty- four hours.

Disappears O\er Lake Michigan and May Be Lost. Sept. 8.—After drift- helplessiy fourteen miles, 2,000 i nut above the earth, in an airship he could not control, William Matteray, a Chicago aeronaut, who made an . ascensjon from here, disappeared from | view. When last seen Matteray's unman- ageable aerial craft was hovering un- certainly over Green bay, still buoy- | | i ! ! ant, and drifting out over Lake Mich- ! tgan. ‘ Matteray made the ascension against ¢/ kis judgment, knowing fhat the ma- ! chinery had been broken and spliced. H But the crowds, eager to see a man risk his life, declared that the story of ! a broken propeller shaft was told as a truse to avoid making an ascension. Therefore Matteray went up just to “make good.” WOULD SECURE HIS RELEASE. Writ of Habeas Corpus Asked on Be- half of Steve Adams. Bolse, Ida., Sept. Application for a writ of habeas corpus has been | made by Me; . Darrow and Nugent ' on behalf of Steve Adams, who is held at the penitentiary as a witness in the Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone case.

Adams; was not mixed up in the Steunenberg murder, but is supposed to hold val- uable information against the alleged “inner circle” of the Western Federa- tion of Miners, which the prosecution has been guarding with great care by Lolding Adams at the penitentiary asj a witness. Local counsel was employed to appear with the Federation lawyers to secure the liberty of Adams. ORGANIZING FOR STRUGGLE. Metal Workers of the Country Want Shorter Workday.

Bemidji Opera House, Oue nght iny SEP. 12 8TATE OF MINNESOTA LOSES. 8upreme Court Decides Famous “Vir- ginia 8liver” Case. St. Paul, Sept. 8.—The decision of the St. Louis county district court in the case of the state of Minnesota vs. Mabel Evansg is afiirmed in a decisfon handed down by Chief Justice Start of the supreme court. This was the ; famous Virginia Sliver tract, El.l])paled to be very valuable. The defendant also prevaliled in the lower court, where the validity of the lease and its issuance was attacked on the ground of fraud. In the supreme court the constitu- tionality of the laws relating to the 18suance of mineral leases was as- sailed. This court holds the laws con- stitutional. The defendant, Mabel Evans, was a ; sister of one Patterson, a former em- ploye under ex-State Auditor Robert C. Dunn and it was claimed during the last state election that favoritism 'was shown in the issuance of the lease. The case involved the validity of the sale of iron ore leases in the ‘Mesaba range. Had the Mabel Evans case been decided in favor of the state the commonwealth treasury would have been enriched by over $10,000,- 000, as some of the most valuable tracts of land in the Mesaba country are held only on leases from the state secured at state sales, the state simply getting 25 cents per ton royalty.
