o /,/ VOLUME 5. NUMBER 56 BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1907 FORTY CENTS PER MONTH JUSTIFES HS DFED Former Judge Loving on Stand in Virginia Murder Case. TELLS OF KILLING YOUNG MAN Court Permits Defendant to Repeat the Storles Related to Him of His Daughter’s Alleged Drugging and the Latter's Confession. Houston, Va., June 26.—The trial of former Judge Loving, charged with the murder of Theodore Estes, was resumed during the day. At the ad- Journment of court the previous after- noon the defendant had just begun to relate a conversation with his brother- in-law, Harry Sneed, who told him of the alleged drugging of his daughter, which led to the killing, when the at- torneys for the prosecution objected on the grounds that Judge Loving's statement would be hearsay evidence. After arguments on the admissibility of the conversation Judge Harksdale rendered his opinion, which allowed Judge Loving to relatethe conversa- u:m with Snced, which the witness dia. Continuing, the witness related his daughter’s story as told to him. How Estes had glven her liquor; that she became unconsclous and did not know what had happened. When asked if Estes had assaulted her she said Estes haq forced himself upon her and she had only a faint recollection. “This revelation came to me as a thunderbolt from a clear sky,” said the witness. “I loved my daughter and no power on earth could have re- strained my hands.” The witness began to weep when he came to the part of the statement about his love for his daughter. Continulng, the witness declared he immediately secured his shotgun and locating Kstes promptly shot and killed him. Miss Elizabeth Loving took the stand at the afternoon session of court and told her story of being drugged and assaulted by Estes. It was a pitiful reoital, during which she and her velatives broke down and wept bitterly. BIG BLAGK BEAR GAUSES ALARM NEAR TENSTRIKE Mr. Bruin Takes to the Woods, How- ever, Without Doing Any Material Damage. Tenstrike, June 26.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Tuesday, Chair- man S. S, Carter, Supervisors Jas. Taylor and G. V. Thomas, of Taylor township, while accompanied by Frank Chapman, were looking over high- ways and bridges in the township, they suddenly came face to face with a large black bear in the wicinity of Rebedew lake, and as Mr. Bruin was standing straight on his haurches it was evident that he was ready for a fight. None of the party were armed, and the only weapon handy wasa good sized fish pole catried by Mr. Taylor. The bear refused to move on, and after a council of war had been held it was decided to tackle Mr. Bruin with clubs, stones and any- thing that happened to be handy. However, the beaf must have rea- lized the strength of the force against him, for just when the at- tack was about to commence, the big black fellow took to the tall timber, and although Mr. Taylor, who is quite a sprinter, followed for some distance, the bear proved to be the faster on the run, and was soon lost in the thick underbrush. The gentlemen returned to town and related their experience. Next time they venture out on an expe- dition of that kind, they will not leave their shooting irons at home. Mr. Taylor says that the bear must have weighed fully 500 pounds. Will be at Reed’s Studio. Clint C. Crippen of Ortonville, Minn,, arrived in the city last even- ing and will remain in Bemidji for some time to come. Mr. Crippen will have the man- agement of R. W. Reed’s studio for several months, while that gentleman is visiting the Red Lake country and securing views for his studio, for which he has- a very large de- mand. Mr. Crippen comes to this city highly recommended as a first-class photographer, and he will deyote his entlre hme to takmg care of Mr |Reed’s large and growing business. Mr. Crippen is a very pleasant young man, and one whom we have no doubt the citizens of Bemidji will welcome in their midst, and he will in return find people who will appre - ciate theexcellent quality of his work. = New Attorney Locates Here. A. A. Andrews, an attorney who has practiced Taw in Minneapolis during the past five years, has locat- edin Bemidji @nd vill hereafter make this place his home. Mr. Andrews is a graduate of the University of Minnesota, having completed his course in that institu- tion in 1902, LOGATING TERMINALS AT INTERNATIONAL FALLS General Manager Gemmell of the M. & I. Confers With Village Author- ities Up North. International Falls Press: Presi- dent Gemmell of the M. & I., accom- panied by Mr, Huss, chief engineer, and Mr. Strachan, general superin- in the village last terminal grounds and conferring with the tendent, were week looking over the council in regard to securing a right of way across certain streets and Messrs. Gemmell and Huss met with the council and the situa- tion was discussed in all its phases. It was stated that if the railroad could not secure the closing of Fifth and Sixth streets that it would be necessary to locate the depots and terminals out at least a mile. The council made a proposition that it would grant to the company the crossings over Fifth and Sixth and the alleys in blocks five and six and police power over one-half of Second avenue from Third street south, provided that the Koochich- ing company would open Sixth street to the Rat Root road. This proposi- tion was acceptable to the railroad company and negotiations are now pending looking to the consumation of the conditions imposed by the village. As soon as these minor details are disposed of the necessary proceed ings will be taken to vacate the streets and alleys and the terminal question finally disposed of, AMONG SUMMER VISITORS AROUND LAKE BEMIDJI alleys.

The most comprehensive and _ | neatly-gotten up advertisement of the rich farming lands of Beltrami and Clearwater counties that has ever been attempted, has just been issued .by the Donald Land & Lum- ber company of this city, beinga folder, which for originality and forcefullness, is the best thing we have ever seen. EVIDENCE OF DEFENSE 0rcl|drd Shown to Be-Companion of Mine Owners’ Detective. STAR WITNESS AGAIN CALLED Basis; for His Impeachment Completed and Several Photographs Taken Be- fere His “Reformation” Introduced and Shown to Jury. Boise, Ida, June 26.—Counsel for Willlam D. Haywood devoted the early part of the day’s session of court to the completion of the basis for Harry Orchard’'s impeachment. with Orchard on the stand and then, calling the firat relationship .at Cripple Creek prior to the Independence station explosion be- The folder is the personal work of Roger C. Spooner, the president of the Donald Land & Lumber com- pany, and shows the result of care- ful preparation and much study. The land department of the com- pany is under the personal super- vision of Mr. Spooner and his son, D. W. Spooner, while the lumber business of the firm is under the direction of W. R. Mackenzie, J. C. Parker and J..G. Spooner. The reading matter of the folder is printed in two colors, black and red, while the half-tone cuts are ina very beautiful shade of green, the whole being the work of Brown, Treacy & Sperry of St. Paul, and is an artistic production. On the folded first page there is some striking wording that will attract the attention of anyone who . | happens to get hold of the folder. The introductory line (in good- sized type) is “Minnesota’s Best Indorser—Nature.” This is followed by the announcement that the com- pany has for sale 35,000 acres of choice cut-over lands, in the “Garden Spot of Minnesota,” and: which are in “An Idedl Dairy Country,” clos- ing with the assertion that “Every Acre Is Nature’s Bond.” The various pages of the folder contain well-written descriptions of the lands for sale, being truthful tales of what has been accomplished by the farmers in the vicinity, illustrated with fine half-tone cuts taken from actual photographs of farm scenes throughout the country spoken of. On one entire side of the folder is a handsomely engraved -map of that portion of Beltrami and Clear- water counties wherein the lands of the Donald company are located. The map shows very distinctly the locations of the saleable lands, and is a very clever piece of work. The folders are printed in four different languages—English, Ger- man, Norwegian and Bohemian. Thousands of these folders are being sent out by the Donald com- pany, and there is no doubt but that they will fulfill the purpose for which they were issued—inducing land- seekers to vislt the north half of the state and look over this land of great promise. John Morrison, Jr., for Postmaster. Anton Erickson, Beltrami county committeeman for Congressman Steenerson, informs the Pioneer that he has recommended the name of John Morrison, Jr., for appointment as postmaster at the Red Lake Indian agency, vice Susan Mfialy, resigned, Typewriter ribbons, nearly - all ‘makes of standard thachines at the Pioneer office. ; Additional local matter will be found on fourth page. tween Orchard and K. C. Sterling, then chief detective for the Mifie Own- ers’ assocfation. The impeachment of Orchard relates almost entirely to the bropogition that he repeatedly pro- fessed that he had been wronged by Governor Steunenberg and that when he talked of his wrongs he invariably threatened to kill Stednenberg. Orchard positively denied that he ever made threats against Steunen- berg to any of the men, by whom the defense plans to impeach him, at any time or place. Orchard Before Reformation. The defense offered in evidence two of the rogues’ gallery pictures of Or- chard taken after his arrest for the murder of Governor Steunenberg. The pletures show Orchard in a garb re- Sembling that of a tramp, unshaven and unkempt. sald the pictures were offered to show the jury the condition of Orchard at the time of the murder as contrasted with his .appearance today. .Judge Wood admitted-the pictures and they were handed to the jurors, who exam- Ined them closely. Another picture of Oréhard in a group-of three men, one holding a smoking revolver, was also introduced in evidence by the de- fense. The picture was taken in Salt Lake City in 1901. Orchard said the picture was taken as a novelty. Haywood continues an actlve par- ticipant in the conduct of his.case. He alertly watches every witness and be- sides offering numerous suggestions to his attorneys makes extended notes - as the taking of testimony progresses. —_— LANDSEEKERS LOOKING HERE FOR INVESTMENTS W. R. Tait Returns From St. Paul and Reports Land Men Interested in This County. W. R. Tait, the land man; return. ed yesterday evening from a business trip to St. Paul, Mr. Tait reports that while all land men in the twin cities complain that there is not much activity at present, they do not hesitate to state emphatically that the north part of the state, especially Beltrami county, is receiving the close atten- tion of land men at the present time, as they recognize that this is the community to which all eyes are turned as the place for future homes for farmers. Mr. Tait was accompanied on his return home by Patrick Kelley Mor- gan, of Lake City, a chum of his son, Harold, who will visit at the Tait home for a week or more. A Rising Young Barrister. The work of E. R. Dampier, the county attorney of Hubbard county, since his term of office began (Jan- uary 1st) is spoken of very highly by all who have had occasion to note the progress which is being made by the young Akeley barrister since’ hé located in Hubbard county. His efficiency was amply demonstrated at the recent term of court held at Park Rapids, when he displayed most excellent qualities as a pros- -ecutor, - Mr. Dampier is young in years, ‘| but is old in legal experience and withal a most genial and companions able fellow.
