FORTY CENTS PER MONTH PROMISCUOUS IN WOODS SHOULD CEASE Many Men Have Been Killed Elsewhere, but Beltrami County Has Been Fortunate in Matter of Accidental Shootings During Hunting Season. “Within the past year, at least three deaths have resulted from the carelessness of hunters who came up into this country from the cities or from other parts of the state to hunt big game. The causualty list of one year is a repetition of that of the years before. This year two within a week of one anotheria a record— Wm. V. Jon 1s shot to death by unknown parties, who when they found out that they had killed a man instead of a deer, decamped, | and the author of the death of Wm. |intense, as well it may be. V. Jones will probably never be known. E “Within days Charles Bertram was ten afterward, standing in which one of his as shooting,and received a bullet in his brains, kill- him instantly. Mr. Bertram was the administrator of the estate of Henry Ring, one of his neighbors, who disappeared a year ago, and supposed to have bean caused by a bullet from a hunter’s gun. line of a deer at ( Bertrams) guests, ing whose death is found, so badly decomposed that nothing could be told of the manner of his death, where, if the theory above outlined is correct, he was Ring's remains were | those who are and who have been in SHOOTING “Maybe the fatalities of the sea- son are over and maybe they are not—there is over a quarter of the hunting season left. “That something must be done to | stop this next to murder, is evident, but the problem is how to do it. There is a question for, say—the legislature?—or who, to take up and grapple with in an attempt to minimize the killings experienced | every year in the big game counties. “The feeling against the killers is If these gaudy hunters killed one another instead of our good settlers, it is quite probable that the feeling all around would be materially changed, and that the result would be more care exercised on the part of the hunters.” Fortunately, no one has been killed in Beltrami county during the present hunting season, through be- ing mistaken for a deer. Whether this fact would indicate more careful methods of hunting on the part . of the woods hereabouts, or whether the clement of “luck” has entered into the hunting is problematical.

The last legislature so amended the laws that severe punishment may be meted out for any person who shoots another for a deer; and it only remains for the officials of any county to take the initiative, and if the sentiment is such as the above article from tue Independent would indicate an example can be made of any hunter who slays his fellow man while “gunning” in the woods.

A matinee performance of ‘‘We Are King” will be given in the City Opera House Thanksgiving afternoon, at 2 o’clock. Did you ever meet the man that knows it all? Have you ever had to sit and listen to the hot air bleater | who from a babe was raised on the bottle of “I’m it.”” If you ever have, you remember well the desire that came over you to push him with your foot or other- wise rude to him. Then perhaps he blundered and in his supreme self conceit fell into a trap while the crowd around visibly enjoyed the joke. Dave Gally, an unassuming young fellow,although a clever actor, hadjust such an experience this summer and | in this instance the knowing one will probably think twice before he talks again on foreign countries and cities. It happened in the Cadillac hotel on Broadway New York. Gally and his friends were in the lobby having a pleasant chat over the past summer vacations. The wise one butted in and in a loud tone gave every one to understand that he had just re- turned from a three months trip over the European continent. He monopolized the whole conversation. It appeared that ha had been every- where, knew everybody and in short was the best travelled man in Amer- ica. Gally said litile, but when the traveller dilated on Germany, the beauties of the Rhine, and the old rathskellers he quietly inquired. “How did you like Kahnsbuag?”’ Not a bit feazed, the Wisenheimer replied. “Great my boy. Finest little town I ever struck. More pretty girls there to the inch than flies in the kitchen here.” “That’s good,” said the actor, “and do you know you remind me very much of the Kahnburg girls.” “Indeed,” smilled the traveler very much tickled. Then he got the lemon. 2 "Yes,” said the actor as he turned and walked away “Youboth lived in imagration.” Later Mr. Wiseheimer discovered that David Gally is the star of “We Are King,” the romantic comedy which has its scenes laid in the imaginary principality of Kahnburg, a name which is but a product of the brain of the author, and has no real existance. All of which goes to show that the wisest of the wise fall. At City Opera, night, Nov. 28.

P, O. E., is completing arrangements to hold appropriate services in this city Sunday next, which is known as Memorial Day in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. It is the intention of the Elks to meet in the Masonic hall at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. After marching to the city hall, the services will be held at 3:45. It is expected that a number of Elks who live at Deer River and other points east will come to Bemidji to attend ‘these services. They will arrive at 3:30 p. m., and come from the depot to the city hall, where the services will be held. Archdeacon Parshall of Cass Lake, a pron}inent Elk, will have charge of the services and deliver the memorial sermon. The arch- deacon is a member of the St. Cloud lodge of FElks, and has received many honors at the hands of the Elks. He is a splendid speaKer,and his address will be worth-listening to. There will be appropriate singing at the service. The public in general is invited to attend the services in the city| hall, which are open to all. MAT. PIKE WAS BLOWN T0 ATOMS BY DYNAMITE Was Working on Akeley-Lake George Railway.---Was Known in This City. Akeley Herald: Mathew Pike, employed by the Henche Bros., of camp 24, was literally blown te pieces Thursday (last week) after’ noon by a premature explosion of dynamite, while removing stumps from the railroad right of way. Drs.| Davis and Desmond quickly re- sponded to the call, but the poor fellow was so badly mangled that he died about 8 o’clock last night. Mat Pike was known in Bemidji, especially by men who had been in the employ of John Moberg, the logger. Pike was an old-time lumberjack, one of the whole-souled, hearty kind who lived the life of the care-free. Joe Deserves a Medal. The Pioneer is informed by Pete Edd that Joseph Markham, he of the many proportions, is entitled to be put in the front ranks of those deserving of Carnigie medals. It appears, according to Pete (who, by the way, is a great friend of Joe) that Joe was standing on the city dock ‘when a young lady fell into the cold waters of the lake; and that Joe, without a moment’s hesitation, saved her from a watery grave by rushing into the ice cold aqua pura and grabbing the young lady with a strangle hold, soon had her on dry land, so ta speak. Mr. Markham was ever known for his gentlemanly gallantry. Thanksgiving Service. Union Thanksgiving services will be held at the Presbyterian church Nov. 28, at 10:30.. Rev. T. H. Deniston will preach the sermon. All are cordially invited. Heap Big Calf. Edward Chaffe raised the banner calf this year. It was only six months old and dressed three hun- dred and 25 pounds. Who can beat th#e record? The farmer or stock raise}‘whu is farming land worth from $40 to $150 per acre, or who is paying $2 to $5 per acre cash rent annually, would make the best move of his life by locating in Hubbard county, where he can secure good land at from 85 to $12 per acre. This section of the state is all right | for farming and particularly for successful stock raising.—Yola Cor- respondent Akeley Herald. For 16-inch dry birch phone 401. SYNOPSIS OF LAW AS RELATES TO GAME LAW Season for Hunting Big Game Closes Saturday.---Five Days to Bring in Game. As there has been considerable inquiry concerning the game laws, as to when the big game season closes; how long one has in which to get game out of the woods, etc., the following excerpts from the law might be of interest to the many hunters in this vicinity: The season for killing big game ends November 30. The law allows any person, who is lawfully in pos- session of a license and has lawfully killed a deer or moose to be in pos- /| session of the same for five days after having killed same. The law on this point says: ‘““Phat when any deer or such male moose or any part thereof, are | lawfully in the possession of any person as provided for in this chap- ter, such person may - continue in the possession of the same for five days after the time herein limited for killing said animals, and pro- vided further that no cow or female moose may be killed or had in pos- session at any time.” Game may be retained after the close of the season for consumption by the lawful owner thereof.” The law covering that portion being as follows: “Any person who is'a resident of this state and legally in possession of any of the game animals or a part thereof, who have caught, taken or killed at the time or manner per- mitted by this chapter, who will desire to retain possession of same for his own use, who shall make application to the commission for leave to retain the same can do so by giving the name and residence of the person in possession of the birds, or animals or parts thereof. They must also give the kind and location of the birds or animals, which must not exceed forty -five birds, two deer or one male moose. “The application must also state that the birds or animal are for his own use. They must not sell or dis- pose of them. “When the commission is satisfied that the application is made in good faith seals will be issued, which must be attached to every bird, animal or part thereof. “The application must be made either to the resident game warden or direct to the Game and Fish Com- mission before the season is closed. “When these tags bave been placed on the birds, animals or parts thereof, they must be kept thereon until the birds, animals or parts thereof are consumed.” ‘The law further says: “The having in possession of any game birds or animals, or any parts t‘lELe‘of, which is not so tagged and DISAPPEARED ing Engine, Left West Something of a sensation has been caused by the strange disap- pearance of Michael O’Connel, engi- neer on the hoisting engine on the M. R. L. & M. railway. O’Connel disappeared the night of Nov. 9, and there is no trace of his where- abouts since that time, O’Connel was stopping at the West hotel in this city, in company with a man named Davis, who was fireman on the hoisting engine. ! They had a roomn together at the West hotel, where O’Connel kept his clothes and other effects. On the evening of Nov. 9 O’Con- | nel left the West hotel with the! intention of going to the round- house of the Red Lake Railway com- pany, for the purpose of securing a AND LEFT NO CLUE OF WHEREABOUTS Michael 0’Connel, Engineer on Red Like Railway Hoist- Hotel November 9, and Has Not Been Seen Since. wrench with which to fix the water pipes in the kitchen in the West hotel. 'He did not return that night, and in fact has never reappeared at the hotel. It is said that Davis also disap- peared the same night, and has not since been seen. The city police state that it was known that Davis had some checks and considerable money about his person the night he left the hotel. Whether he met with foul play, or has simply gone somewhere and will soon return, is a matter for conjecture. The police are making diligent inquiries to find some trace of O’Connel. O’Connel is about 35 years old, five feet and ten inches tall, and weighs about 175 pounds. —_—mmmm sealed, or for which a retention permit has not been received, except during the open season and five days thereafter, is hereby made unlawful. “Any such game birds or game animals, and any part thereof, had or held in possession by any person during the season when it is unlaw- ful to have the same in possession, is hereby declared contraband.” Makes Final Proof. | Albert J. Warren of Wilton ap- peared before Clerk of Court F. W. Rhoda yesterday afternoon and made final proof for a valuable tract| of government land near that place. Minor Sells His Interest. R. F. Minor, who has been a member of the Smith-Minor Lumber company, has severed his connection with the company, having sold his interest to Mr. Smith, who will con- tinue the business. Mr. Minor informs the Pioneer that he has not yet decided as to his future movements, or as to what business he will engage in, but that he will undoubtedly continue a resident of Bemidji Barber Shops Closed.
