TEN CENTS PER WEEK BOARD THROWS OUT THE RED LAKE VOTE Canvassing Committee Decides (4 to 1) Not to Allow the Agency Returns. ACTION TAKEN THIS AFTERNOON AFTER LENGTHY DELIBERATION Board Decides That There Is No Legal Voting Precinct at Agency. The canvassing board spent most of this forenoon considering the election returns from the Red Lake Indian agency, and as to whether they should be counted and the result returned, together with the returns from the other precincts ol the county. Charles W. Scrutehin, as attor ney for Charles Saxrud, candi- date for the republican nomina- tion for commissioner for the Third district, appeared before the board and objected orally to the counting of the Red Lake returns. Later, he filed a written objection, alleging that the so- called precinct was really no precinct at all, and had no legal existence, never having been lawfully created, except for the single election of the year 1898, when it was so created by resolution of the byard of county commissioners at a meeting held Oct. 5 of that year for the 1898 District Court. In district court this morning, the case of Christine Olson vs. Gennes & Layon, which occupied the attention of the court and a jury yesterday afternoon, was concluded and given to the jury for a verdict. The jury brought in a verdict of $628.50 in favor of the plaintiff. The case of Hurty Simons Hardware Co. vs. R. A. McQuaig was taken up and a jury was se- lected at 11 0’clock, when a recess of ten minutes was taken, The case was on all aft3inoox. 1 election only. At 8 o'clock this afternoon, A. W. Danaher moved that the returns from the Red Lake Agency precinct be rejected and not canvassed, and when the vote was taken on the motion Mr, | Danaher, H. W. Bailey, O, M. Skinvik and J. P.

Just before the vote was taken jthe board an affidavit of fraud, :set.t.ing forth that two-thirds of the voters who cast ballots &t |Red Lake Tuesday were full- blood Indians and not entitled to i vote, this being in addition to his | previous objection on the ground Eof there being no legal precinct !at the agency.

He intends to take a vacation for a month, most of which he will spend at Black- duck, where he has relatives. County Aunditor Wilmann has not yet decided whom he will ag- point to succeed Moon as deputy. The death at Osakis yesterday of C. R. Martin, founder of the Beltrami County News, was con: siderable of a shock to the resi- dents of Bemidji, although' his demise was not' entirely un- looked-for. His strong will and determination not to give up had impressed many that he was not dangerously ill, and the an- nouncement of his death was a surprise to them. Mr. Martin was 42 years of ng?e, being born in Indiana, where his father and other re- latives stilllive.

Chicago firm to build Steel Tower .and Watertank—Duluth Firm to Lay Water Mains. Kelliher, Sept, 20.—At an adjourned meeting of the village council held Wednesday evening, the awards of contracts were made on the bids submitted at the meeting held Monday evening for ‘the installing of the water- works system in the village. M. D. Stoner of Bemidji, engineer for the village, was present. The Chicago Bridge & Iron Works, was given the contract for the erection of an eighty-foot steel tower and 80,000-gallon steel watertank, the bid for the same being $2,900. There were five other foreign bidders, the offer of the Chicago concern being considered the best bid submitted by a respon- sible firm that complied with all the requirement of the plans and specifications. J. E. O’Connell of Duluth was awarded the contract for putting in three blocks of water mains and hydrants, his bid being for $1,853.20. The Jerrard Plumbing company of Bemidji and Hugh Bosworth of Ada, who is putting in the Bemidji sewers, also bid on this work, but their price was higher than that of O’Connell. Ben Erickson was the success- ful bidder for the building of the fire-proof power-house, and he will do the work for §400. Tom Johnson - of Bemidji also sub- mitted a bid, but his price was much higher than that of Erick- son, The villageis to furnish the cement blocks, the contractor to furnish all other material and | erect the building.: - = The steel tank and tower, the water mains and the power-house must be completed and be ready for acceptance by the council within sixty days. The electrical and other machinery for the pswer-house bas already been purchased direct from the Electrical Machinery company of Minne- apolis, Passengers Taken Off Safely.

Carl Martin was possessed of a very energetic disposition, and | was strong in his likes and dis- likes. He was a true friend, and would do much for one whom he liked. He was a shrewd politi- cian, and his paper has been a strong factor in the politics of Bemidji and Beltrami county. Mr. Martin was always to the fore in anything that augured well for the interests of the com- munity in which he lived. Dur- ing the early days of Bemidj he did much toadvance the in- terests of this place. He was in- strumental, for several years, in bringing thousands of people to the city, through excursions from outside points, which were productive of large sums of money being left in Bemidji, and gained an enviable reputation for the city as being able to properly entertain guests. He had many strong, close friends, and his'de- mise has caused profound sorrow to them. | expected to go faster than shs ONE DAY IN BEMIDJI Duluth and Twin City Junket Probably Will Include This City in Itinerary.

Several Bemidji people saw the races at Sauk Center and pronounce the contests of speed to have been the very best that have taken place in this part of the state. Thomas Newby of Be- midji, one of the oldest and most experienced horsemen in the state, was at the Sauk Center meet. He states that there are green horses entered in the races to be held here that paced miles on-the Hamline track this sum- mer in 2:10 and faster, among the number being *Little Tim” and “Essex.” : There are fast “nags’’ from St, Paul and Minneapolis, Grand Forks and Fargo, besides the locai string, and it is expected that in all thirty race horses will be in Bemidji during the coming meet, The officials who will have charge of the races have not all been selected, but Mr. Cherry of Long Prairie, who has acted as starter at Sauk Center and Park Rapids, will serve in the same capacity here. He is said to be one of the best in the business and is fair and impartial. = The horses -owned by local parties did very well at Sauk Center. “Bemidji Bell,” owned by J. A. Wonzer, took second money in the 2:28 trot and .paoe and ‘“‘Abaca,” Farley & Thurs- ton’s mare,. was third in the same race. They will buth par- ticipate in the 2:28 race at Park Rapids Friday.
