Supt. morning, Landseekers Looking Over Country. A party of landseekers from Iowa left this morning for their homes, ! after having looked at some of the very best of the grand agricultural acres which we have. The party consisted of Frank Korbal, John Macal, John Mashek, James Mashek and Joe Lozun, from Calmar, Iowa. The gentlemen visited a large portion of the land in thisand Clear- water counties, owned by the Donald Land and Lumber company, and were duly impressed with the value of the lands for agricultural purpose. It is more than likely that the gentlemen will return at a later date and invest money in this county. We Don’t Skate. “Doc” Rutledge of the Bemidji Pioneer has proven that a newspaper training qualifies a man to assemble a successsul county fair, The only time he ever fell down on an assign- ment was when he attempted roller skating.—Big Fork Compass. We deny the allegation, as to the skating. It was our friend, Abe Wyler who was damaged by a bad spill at the rink, Ours were simply boils. VIOLATING GAME LAWS; IS ARRESTED AND FINED David Lukenbill of Laporte Was Catch- ing Muskrats a Month Before the Open Season. A. G. Rutledge returned last even- ing from Akeley, where he had been to investigate some reports of alleged violations of the state game laws. Report had been made to Mr, Rutledge that a settler liying at Kabekona lake had complained that there was considerable shooting be- ing done in the vicinity of his home, and that he believed that some “sooner” nimrods were killing deer. The warden went to Akeley and drove to Kabekona lake. A thor- ough search of the country for ten miles in the vicinity of Kabekona lake was made, no one found who was hunting deer. Mr. Rutledge found a cabin where a man named Lukenbill and his son David were camped. The son was the only occupant of the cabin at the time of the visit of the warden. A number of muskrat hides were hung up in the cabin to dry, and the war- den seized these, placing young Luk- enbill under arrest, on charge of killing muskrats out of sesaon, the lawful season does’ not open until November 15th. Young Lukenbill was taken to Akeley, where he plead guilty and was fined $10 and costs for violating the law, up to last night, Lukenbill had failed to raise the amount of the fine, and should he fail to liquidate will be sent to the Hubbard county jail at Park Rapids for ten days. most modern in use.

Walker, Oct. 9.—(Special to the Pioneer.)—Mrs. James Nayton, an Indian woman, was struck by the north-bound passenger train on the M. & I railway, yesterday evening, about a mile this side of Hacken- sack, sustaining injuries from which she subsequently died at the hospital in this village. Mrs. Nayton, whose Indian name is Ne-ce-deince, had been picking cranberries, in company with several other Indians, on some low land north of Hackensack, The party got on the railroad right-of-way, and had their bundles placed close to the rails when the passenger train came in sight from the south. Mrs. Nayton struggled with her bundles, in an ehdeavor to get them farther framr the . track, She failed to get out of lhg" way of the train and was hit by the pilot of the loco- motive, the wheels of the engine mangling her rigflt leg and left arm. The train was stopped and the Indian woman was placefl on the carsand brought to Walker. She was taken to the Walker hospital, where the injured leg and arm were'| amputated. . The..woman’s injuries no benefit and she died at 9:30 ‘last evening. ! The body of the dead woman was taken to Onigum, the Leech Lake agency, and will be interred in the Indian burial grounds there tomor- row. i Cass Lake Disappointed. Crookston: A traveling man who came in from off the Duluth line Monday evening tells of a bitter disappointment to a big share of the population of Cass Lake. It appears that the “Kilties” band which is here tonight passed through there enroute to Bemidji on Monday, and word was passed around that the train would stop ten ' minutes and that the band would render a selec- tion or two, but the train was over a half hour late and the manager of the band was not aware of the pro- gram and not a sound was heard. The schools were dismissed for the occasion and the teachers were there in force with their scholars. FIREAT PALAGE HOTEL, , BLAGKDUCK, LAST MIGHT Hotel Would Probably Have Been Burned But for Timely Discovery of Flames. Blackduck, Oct. 9.—(Special to the Pioneer.)—But for the lucky discovery of a fire which was extin- guished in in its incipiency, it is more than probable that the Palace hotel in this village would have been destroyed, or at least badly damaged, at 8:30 last evening. Guests at the Palace noticed smoke and flame issuing from in front of the saloon part of the hotel, between the edge of the sidewalk and the building, at a point where the steam pipes enter the building {rom the street. J. C. Thompson, proprietor of the hotel, and several of his guests rushed to where the fire was and by the streunous use of buckets of water, prevented the flames from spreading. Had the fire started at a later hour, great damage would have been done to the hotel. It is presumed that some one who was smoking in front of the hotel, carlessly dropped the end of a lighted cigar on the walk and that it rolled in next to the building. The steam pipes had thoroughly dried everything at the point where the fire was discovered and had the flames gotten any kind of a start, they would undoubtedly have destroyed the entire building. G. F. Ross III. Word reached Bemidji yesterday that G.F. Ross, the senior member of the logging firm of Ross & Ross, was seriously ill at his home in Duluth. A. C. Ross, 2 son of G. F. Ross, came down yesterday morning from Kelliher, where the Ross people have extensive interests, and went to Duluth to look after his father during the latter’s illness. The elder Ross is well known in Bemidji and this north country, and is very well liked. His many friends in this vicinity trust that his illness will be of brief duration, Club Dance Friday Night. The first club dance of the season will be held at Masonic Hall Friday evening of this week.

Kelliher Journal: The fond de- lusion of a year ago that before this time iron would be mined in the vicinity of Kelliher seems to have fallen flat, or at least the drill which has been operating here constantly. for the past year has been removed to other parts. However, this is no indication that iron will not be some day discovered here, as it is very difficult to get information from the powers that be whether or not pay dirt has been found. Those that know, or at least think they know, assert in stronger language than ever before that some day iron in paying quantities will be mined from the vicinity of Kelliher. el Fountain pen ink at the Pioneer Linden Is-a Good “‘Scout.” Martin Linden, jeweler at George T. Baker's store, left yesterday afternoon for Fergus Falls, where he will participate in the “doings” incidental to the- institution of the new Elk lodge, at Fergus, this even- ing. But few of the local Elks were able to go to Fergus, but those who are there will make up, tn measure, by enthusiasm, for the lack of num- bers. It is the intention of Mr. Linden to visit with his parentsat Perham, before returning to Bemidji “AT GRIPPLE CREEK,” AT THE BITY.

Carpenter’s “At Cripple Creek” is doing a great busi- ness at the Alhambra this week. His plays always depict some vari- ation of the eternal conflict between good and evil, and he always brings some penalty to the latter, and for this is to be commended. Inter Ocean—"At Cripple Creek,” presented at the Alhambra yester- day, is the best effort of that ever ready playwright, Hal. Reid. The reception was enthusiastic. Tribune—The .scenic equipment‘ is more than merely adequate, and some of the effects are exceptionally realistic. METHODIST PASTORS ARE " ASSIGNED THEIR PLACES Rev. ). H.

WILL HELP GOAGH THE YALE FOOTBALL TEAM Crookston Paper Says Tom Shevlin Will Assisf in Bettering *0ld Eli's” Eleven. The Croookston Journal recently contained the following article con- cerning the probability of Tom Shevlin, local manager for the Crookston Lumber company, assist- ing the coaches of the Yale football team in rounding out a team for “Old Eli,” this fall: “Tom Shevlin will be one of the coaches at Yale this season, he having promiséd to come on from the west as early as possible and remain with the football team until after the game with Harvard. Frank Hinkle and Carl Flanders -will also assist Coach Knox. Flanders was with the Yale team a portion of last season in a coach’s capacity and the result was to greatly strengthen the team. Later he went to Carlisle where he finished out the season. This fall he will be close to Coach Knox in directing the work of the team. Star coaches will be plentiful at Yale and any of the weak spots should be found out and strength- ened before the Princeton and Har- vard games. The players at Old Eli will soon get together and the preliminary work begin. The early season is one in which the schedule brings into contest a number of good team.” It Pays to Advertise. That advertising will bring desired results is strikinely illustrated by the following telegram from Crookston to the St. Paul Pioneer Press: “Crookston, Minn., Oct. 8.—Since the publication in the state press of the fact that Supt. Casey of the schools of Polk county was having difficulty in securing teachers to fill the vacancies in the rural schools he has been deluged with letters of application_for positions from all parts of the country. “One young lady living as far away as Maine sent a letter asking for particulars. In the last twenty- four hours Mr. Casey has received over half a hundred letters and all his spare time is being devoted to answering them. He got a letter from a hotel keeper in one of the nearby towns, who wrote that he had not taught school for twenty- five years, but that if Mr. Casey was hard pressed and would be will- ing to give him a fair salary he would help him out. “All the teachers necessary have now been employed, and there will be no further trouble this year.” ..
