Deputy Sheriff Arne Solberg re- turned this morning from an official visit to Kelliher and some miles out in the country from that place. Mr. Solberg ran onto a deer run- way Saturday night and escaped alive. A fellow perched on a scaffold took two shots at a~deer but a few paces from the deputy sheriff, and the latter had to yell lustily to stop the fusilade; and the hunter didn’t get the deer, either. o ' /T P £ With The = é Crescent: year’s time. only on CONKLIN’S < apoibabpp e B — & S o000 the Conklin.

E. A. BARKER Jeweler Barker’s Drug Store CONFERS WITH BRYAN President Has Hali-Hour Talk With Democratic Leader. LATTER HAS FINANCIAL PLAN 8Says Remedy for Present Situation Will Be Found in ‘His Scheme to Have the Government Insure Depos- Itors In National Banks. Washington, Nov. 25.—President loosevelt and Willlam J. Bryan were n conference for half an hour in the president’s private office at the White House. “I was mot invited to call,” Mr. Bryan said on leaving, “but I called up on the telephone and asked when the president would ‘receive callers and on being informed came simply to pay my respects to the president.” Mr. Bryan was not willing to dis- ouss the details of his interview, but wag free to add details to the finan- olal plan which he proposed a few days ago. In reviewing every meas- ure of relief which had come to his notice Mr. Bryan said that nothing seemed to be intended to meet the situation as effectively and at the seme time as simply as the plan he had suggested. This plan, he said, was simply to have the government Insure depositors in national banks against loss by reason of the failure of the banks. It Wa¥*mot intended, he said, to have the government collect a fund for this purpose to be kept on hand. Whenever a national bank should be required to pay its depos- itors it would be the duty of the gov- ernment to make an assessment on all national banks to meet the amount of Joss by reason of the failure. - This Assessment, Mr. Bryan said, would be fafinttely small. i Opposition to this pian, Mr. Bryan conceded, might be made by state banks who would be left out of the plan. The answer to this, he said, was that the states should individually take up the same scheme and stand as a guarantor against loss to depos- ftors In state banks. Mr. Bryan said as yet no plan had been made to have his relief measure resented in congress. However, he elt very enmthusiastic over the pros- pect of its ultimate success. Being asked as to his position on the tariff he sald it was evident nothing could be hoped for in the way of tariff re- wislon during this, a Republican con- groes. “I am in favor of removing the tar- 4 on news print paper and wood pulp, the articles controlled by a trust, just as I am in favor of removing the tariff on all other trust controlled articles,” he added. Mr. Bryan remarked that he had had a very pleasant chat with the presi- dent. ARGHIE PHILLIPS WAS - KNOWN IN NORTH W0ODS Was Game Warden, and Had Quite an Experience at Littlefork Several Years Ago. Rathdrum, Idaho, Nov. 21.— United States Senator Hepburn of Idaho has been brought into the trial of Steve Adams for the alleged murder of Fred Tyler. Archie Phillips who testified for the state at the first trial of Adams, disappeared recently from his home in Spokane, but wrote a, letter to Henry P. Knight, attorney for the state, asserting that his life was in danger and that he had received threaten- ing letters several times. Phillips expressed disgust at the treatment he had received at the hands of the state and the govern- ment, said his wife was a nervous wreck from terror, and severely censured Senator Hepburn for his failure to secure his appointment as an estimator on the Couer d’Alene Indian reservation. Phillips will be remembered by some of our old-timers as the deputy game warden who came in here a few years ago and arrested one of our citizens for alleged lllegal hunt- ing and fishing, says the Inter- national Falls Echo. The net and meat disappeared the night of Phillips’ arrival here with his pris- oner who was arrested at Rainy Lake City and with it went about $100 worth of seals and other per- sonal property belonging to the game warden. Friends of the accused man are supposed to have stolen the outfit and dumped it into the river. The game law violator was found not guilty by a jury in a justice court at Littlefork, where the case went by a change of venue. French-Canadian Humor. The following is a copy of a letter received by Wm.

O’Neil, Mr. F. O. | {Sibley and Mr S. C. Rugland weref appointed by Judge Morris in the!| United States District Court at Fergus Falls on November 20th, 1907, to act as commissioners in the matter of condemna..on of certain lands in Hubbard and Beltrami counties, and that the commission- ers had their first meeting at Fergus Falls and adjourned to hear testi- mony on February 11th, 1908, at Park Rapids, and on February 12th, 1908, at Bemidji. Very truly yours, Chas. C. Houpt, United States Attorney. { Should “‘Buck” Paper Trust. i We agree fully with Judge Ives, | of the Cass Lake Times, in the fol- lowing concerning the unholy paper trust: “Itis high time for the newspaper publishers of America to awake from the hypnotic condition they have been in for the last year and file their solemn protest against the trust which seems determined to destroy them and their vocation. Within the last year the price of news print paper, in large quantities —car lots— has iucreased $12 per| ton and twice that sum if purchased in lesser quantities. ““The great dailies of the cities, into whose expansive maw goes a hundred tons every day, are as- tounded at the increased cost of producing a paper for the modest sum the people are able to pay, and their protest is so plain and plain- tive that the little fellows who are satisfied with a ream or two have fallen into line to help carry on the fight. Already many of the smaller papers of the country have raised their price of subscription to a sum that will barely pay for the white paper used, but the danger lies in the situation that another big raise is threatened, and if not strenuously opposed will become another burden for the publishers to camry. What shall we do about it? Kick—and kick hard—until relief comes.” Deed Committed by Richard C. Horne, an Editorial Writer, Who Had Just Been Notified That His Services Were Dispensed With, Kansas City, Nov. 25.—Richard C. Horne, an editorial writer on the Kan- sas City Post, shot and serlously wounded O. D. Woodward, manager of the Willis Wood theater and president - of the Post Publishing company, and slightly wounded Managing Editor J. H. Groves in Managing Editor Groves’ private office. Mr. Woodward is in a eritical condition. Mr. Woodward is president of the Woodward ~ Amusement company, Which maintains theaters in Omaha and other Western cities. He is one of the best known theatrical men in this part of the country. Manager Groves was for a number of years managing editor of the old Kansas City Times and is a well known news- | paper man. During the past few days the Post has been cutting down its editorial force. Manager Groves notified Horne that he was to be discharged. About noon Mr. Woodward visited Groves in the latter’s office and as he was leav- Ing Horne confronted him with a pis- tol. Without another word Horne shot Woodward in the chest. The lat- ter fell to the floor and Horne fired two more shots into his body as Woodward lay there. Mr. Groves at- tempted to make his escape from the room and was shot in the hip. Wood- ward’s condition is believed to be serious. Poor Hunting, Up North. International Fails Echo: The great majority of the big game hunters who have been arriving here the past week have reported poor success and have arrived at the conclusion that this sectionis a gold brick when it comes to getting a shot at the wary buck. The local scouts have been kept busy guiding hunting parties, but when followed by a crowd of tenderfeet they have been unable to secure meat for their unfortunate patrons. Hard luck stories are the principal stock in trade and we surmise this country will be given the cold shoulder next year. Jack Ballard and Jim Sedore have been taking out parties and they ralate some amusing anecdotes of how tame the hunters expect to find the moose and deer. Accord- ing to their reports it will be a miri- cle if some fool isn’t shot or lost in the woods.
