TEN CENTS PER WEEK - FRAUD CHARGED AT RED - LAKE AGENCY PRECINCT Indian Vote of 150 May Be Thrown Out as Result of Accusations|Ross, had hired the men in Made Today Before the County Canvassing Board— Alleged That Full-Bloods Voted. J. N. Oman of Red Lake agency appeared before the county can- vassing board this forenoon and protested against the counting of the returns from the agency precinct, on the ground of fraud. He stated that two thirds of those persons who voted at the agency precinet were full-blood Indians, and under the law not entitled to vote; and that a num- ber of these who yoted were un- duly ictluenced by John Mor- rison, Jr, supervisor of the Cross Lake Indian school; and that they were not legal voters, anyway, under the statutes. Authorities were consulted and the new code says relative to the right of tha fuliblecods to vote, in Sec. 3, of Article 7, of the Coustitution of the state: “Persons of Indian bloud re- siding in this state, who have adopted the language, customs and habits of civilizition, after an | examination before any district court of the state, in such man ner as may be privided by law, and shall have been pronounced by said court capable of enjoying the vights of citizenship within the state,” shall be entitled to vote, It is claimed that the legisla ture has never passed an act whereby full-bloods are ad mitted to citizen ship. The law provides that in the absence of fraud, ‘minor 1rregularities shall be overlooked, but where there is evidence of fraud thereis ground for contest, and the supreme court has upheld the law. Red Lake agency voting pre- cinct was first established jn 1896, by proclamation of tne gov- ernor, and again was established October 5, 1898, by the board of county commissioners. Nothing else toward the establishment of the precinct was done either be- fore or subsequent to those dates, although the law provides for the establishment of pre- cincts at the regular Jaouary and July meetings of the board.

Henry L Musser of 20 S 14th! St., Pittsburg, there were but! few nights when he slept peace-! fully and without continually rolling and tossing in bed and awakening in the morning asjporations tired as the night bafore, would kill many men who possess less | steel-like constitutions, Rogarding his remarkable case Mr. Musser says: “The loss of sleep, together with the con- tinued strain upon my weak and| diseased kidneys, caused my en-ire system to wane and I was on the verge of collapse when ] purchased and began taking ths famous Cnoper’s New Discovery, | of which I hzd read and heard: so much about, To my great; surprise and delight [ began to: with anew vigor and energy. That continual tired, worn-out feeling that had so long made me wretched gave place to retarning strength that came with the first few doses. Now the severe pains in the back have left me and once more I feel well and happy.” Cooper’s New Discovery and Quick Relief are the two pre with which L. T. Cooper, the young philanthropist, has caused such a furor 1n the leading cities of this country, The famous Cooper remedies are handled in this city only by Mr. Cooper’s special represent- atives, K.

Five Finlanders were arrested at the G. N. depot this noon, as they were about to board the train for Daluth. W. B, Sherman, representing Ross & Duluth to work at Kelliher. He advanced the men’s railroad fare and they were to work, at the rate of $40 per month, until the advanced fare had been “squared,’’ when they would re- ceive their regular pay. The men worked two days and then “jumped the job” and came to Bemidji, intending to get away to Duluth without further labor or other compensation. They were arrested at the depot, a half hour before the train de- parted for Duluth. The men were given.a hearing before Justice Pendergast this afternoon. District Court.

WILMANN NOW SAFELY LEADS IN COUNTY AUDITORSHIP FIGHT Register of Deeds Harris Also Nomi- nated Beyond Any Doubt.—Thirty- five Precincts In. The election returns show the victories of Opsahl and Hanson to be more sweeping thanat tirst supposed. Opsahl now has a clear lead in the district of 639 over MecCuaig,! while Hanson’s lead over Lightbourne and Simons is 359. | The returns are in in Beltrami county from ounly thirty-five precincts and these leads will doubtless be increased. In Reltrami county Opsahl’s vote is 839 to 661 for McCuaig, while Hanson’s is 658, against 437 for Simons and 394 for Lightbourne. In Red Lake county the vote stands, with only two or three precincts to hear from: Opsahl 466, McCuaig, 292; Hanson 469, Simons 283, Lightbourne 84. In Clearwater county the vote stands: Opsahl 389, McCuaig 102; Hanson 348, Simons 90, Light- bourne 77. Only a few small precincts are .still to be heard from. In Norman county the vote stands: Hanson 935, Lightbourne 596, Simons 57. | In this county| thirty-five out of the fifty-three precincts have so far -been ‘heaid “from. The precincts yet to report include all those north of Red Lake. The returns now show that Wilmann is safely re-nominated for county auditor. His vote stands 899, as against 734 for George, This has been the fight which was most in doubt yester- lead for register of deeds, with presence of aflag man serious!847, as against 611 for Riddell. The additional returns only serve to increase the leads of the other winners, like Bailey for sheriff, Funkley for county at- torney, Stewart for superin- tendent of schools, ete, For commissioner from this (the First) district Wes Wright has 396 votes, Kinch 166, Olson 143, Duncalf 36, Godbout 17. For commissioner from the Third district the vote stands: Saxerud 103, Sorenson 45, Sibley 26. Additional returns may change results in the Third. There are about 150 votes at the agency that will be affected by the decision. The only candi- dates that will feel atall con- cerned over the outcome are C. E. Saxrud and Fred Sibley, candidates for countycommission er from the Third district. The throwing out of the votes will probably nominate Saxrud. The Red Lake vote has not yet been received by the canvassing board, as have none of the of Red Like. by mail tonight. 4 BELTRAMI COUNTY. A.L. Hanson................ D. C. Lightbourne. . . Luman C.

Cass Lake, Sept. 20.—(Special to the Pioneer).—C. A. Lindberg will be the republican candidate for congressman in the Sixth district. Congressman Buckman has now practically given up hopes of winning, and in a state- ment made yesterday afternoon said that there seemed no chance. Lindberg’s majority will not be over 500, according to the present outlook, and it may run under that figure. His lead is several hundred now, and the country districts which have yet ty be heard from, seem to be giving small wajoritics against the present congressman. All of the old Cass couut; officers have won out again with the possible exception of auditor. The result here is still in doubt, with the outlook favoring I. P.

These are then caught up by the cross threads in the weaving and fastened in-such a way that the fieecy ends present themselves all on one side of the fabric. The man- ufacture of velvet is so slow that for a hand weaver a yard Is considered a good day’s work. The machine made velvet is of course turned out much returns from the country north| [ They are expected | more rapidly.

Many of the old landmarks have vanished.” “What landmarks?” asked the native resentfully. “Why, the town pump, for instance.” “Call that a landmark? I call it a water mark!” oaie Parental Influence. “Sir,” said the young man, “I trust you will object to my marriage with your daughter?” 5 “Why so?’ queried the astonished parent. “Because,” explained the young man, “if you do I think she will consent to have me.”—Chicago News.

Dazey’s, “The Burgler and the Waif,” which, for six weeks, crowded the Garden Theutre, New York, to its capacity, and consequently there is likely 10 be an exciting scramble for seats next Saturday night, Sentember 22, when it is to be presented at the ‘opera house. The play, like most of C. T. Dazey’s contributions, is very much up-to-date. Indeed, the great success the play has enjoyed is ch'ef- 1y due to the fact that the story in it’s main feature is almost identical with that of one of the most famous actual life dramas which the courts of justice Marie Young, a role in which her well known feminine charms have every opportunity of display. have had to deul with of late. ‘Thef. part of the Waif is played by Miss|.

Linder, an employe at the Sertine! office, received pain- ful injuries yesterday that will prevent his working for scme time to come. While he was at work ip the Sentinel office, he struck the gasoline bottle with his left hand. The bottle was smashed and the middle finger of his hand cut, the tendon being especially lacerated.
