Pieces of clothing near the body led to the e wion of the remains as those of Miss Dahl. The bones were put into a box and brought to Bemidji, and were afterwards taken to Crookston for interment. There was absolutely no clue whatever to the manner in which Miss Dahl met her death, or who was responsible for her murder. In spite of every effort of the au- thoritics of Deltrami - county, the mystery of the identity of the mur- derers of the Dal cmained as deep as ever, and there appeared no possible solution of the affair. No trace of James Wesley (who was wanted, with the be that he Kknew something of the ) could be found, and it scemed certain that the murder of N, O, Dahl and his daughter \agot would remain for- u unpunished crime, a blot on ir name of northern Minne- sota. s time passed, the crime was seldom alluded to, and was in a fair way to have been entirely for- gotten. On March 27th, 1905, (a year after the discovery of the absence of the Dahls from their James Wesley at Green Bay, Wis., where his parents > residing. He was taken to a at Minneapolis and confined ¢ for several months before be- ing brought to Bemidji. He was brought to this city and held in jail here for several weeks. On September 2oth, the grand jury returned indictments against James Wesley and Paul Fournier, chargi them with killing the Dahls. Much was done to sccure evidence that would convict Four- nier and Wesley of the crime of which they were accused, but it was necessary to annul the indictments. Nothing further was done in the matter, although the county author- it On January 21st, County Attor- FFunkley received information v Blackduck which he deemed sufficient to justify the arrest of Paul Fournier and George Cyr (the latter a cousin of Fournier) charg- ing them with the killing of N. O. Dahl and his daughter Aagot. James Wesley was also implicated in the crimes. according to the in- formation given the county attor- ney, but as his whereahouts we mknown, the fact that “Short wanted was not made known ; in fact, a report was circulated that Wesley been killed.

Paul Fournier (sometim “Little Paul™ because of his ness of stature) is 41 years of age, and was born in the state of M in 1806, his parents being French. Fournier lived in Maine with his parents until 1883, when he left home, deciding to make his own liv- ing in the future. He came to Minnesota that year, and made his home in Minneapolis. In the fall of 1898 he went to Red Lake Falls, where sev of his relatives re- sided. ited Beltrami county, near Blackduck, several times while at Red Lake T*alls, and in the fall of 1903 filed on a claim near Quiring Postoffice.
