FORTY CENTS PER MONTH SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS ARRESTED THIS MORNING Two Men Taken from Great Northern Box Car.---Both Were Well Armed wit h Chisels, Knives and Other Ugly Weapons. The police this morning arrested two suspicious characters on advice from the authorities at Langdon, N. D., and they were given ten days in jail this morning by the presiding magistrate. The men were gathered in about| 7 o'clock as they made their way from a Great Northern freight carof an early morning freight train. When accosted they made flight and were only gathered in after an exciting | chase in which many shots were exchanged on both sides. ~ When examined at the police headquarters, no money was found on the men, but in their possession was discovered a miscellaneous col- | lection of knives, chisels, etc. It is believed that they are mem- bers of the gang of “yeggmen,” who have been terrorizing the north- west for the past few months, and their records will be investigated before they are released.

Csss Lake, Nov. 27.—(Special to the Pioneer.)—Hunting in this vicinity is becoming somewhat dan- gerous, according to the experience of John Fosvig and Eddie Hanson, who were out hunting for deer Sun- day. They had an experience which they will not soon forget. Tne boys were returning from a trip through the forest and when a mile southwest of town, and as they were passing a short open space, bul- lets commenced to sing around them. Young Fosvig had on a duck coat and some hunter from the thicket jumped to the conclusion that he saw a deer and commenced firing at once. Three shots were fired before the boys could convince him of his error, by their shouts. The hunter mounted a stump, aad the boys were by this time quite angry,in factangry enough to return the compliment with some of his own medicine. The offender, who wasa coward, did not dare face the boys, but ran away. While neither of the boys were hit, they could feel the bullets pass- ng by. “WE ARE KING” WILL BE GIVEN ON THANKSGIVING Matinee and Evening Performance Will Be the Attracfion at the City Opera House. p 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 cleveractor, 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. “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.

CHIPPEWA INDIANS IN 60OD SHAPE FOR WINTER the Agent Frater Says Reds are Prepared for Cold Months.---Logging on Reservation. John T. Frater, the Indian agent at Onigum, the Leech Lake Indian agency, says of the logging on the hippewa reservation and other matters pertaining to the welfare of the govornment wards: “The lumbermen hope to get out as much timber and more if possible than last winter on the reservation. 1F the season is favorable they will have aheavy output. The North Land Pine company will iy and cut 40, 000,000 feet. This company got an extension of two years for the re- moval of the timber which it pur- chased and they hope to get out 100,000,000 in three years. “The Burlington Lumber com- pany is going to try and clear up its Leech Lake timber this year and is also operating on the Bowstring. The lumber com- panies that have obtained extensions have from two to three years to clear up their contracts. % “The Indians are going into the winter in better shape, I should say, than a year ago. They have had good berry and rice crops and some of them have earned sums of money working. Liquor is the only draw- back with the Indians. I get along with them very nicely. It would seem that the Indians are losing ground as to population. They are decreasing gradually instead of in- creasing. There have been more deaths than births the past year.” U.S. Court at Fergus Falls. The U. S. District Court at Fer- gus Falls has finished its criminal work, there being two cases from Beltrami county. George Meeley, a young Indian of the Red Lake reservation, was . ac- cused of robbing the reservation postoffice at Red Lake, and appro- priating $20 of the funds to his own use. Meeley is a bright young man and was attending the Flrndreau school in South Dakota. He was home on a vacation and visited the postoffice, which was in charge of his sister. When brought into court he entered a plea of guilty and was given a reformatory sentence of one year and three months. John Swenson, who was accused of addressing and mailing an ob- scene postal card to Miss Hilda Swan, Albany, Miun., admitted that he wrote the objectionable matter and mailed the card. Judge Morris sentenced him to pay a fine of $50, or to spend thirty days in the Bel- trami county jail. Thanksgiving Dinner.

The poor families of Bemidji will be given a happy Christmas, if the present plans of Bemidii Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O. E.,, materialize, and there is no reason why the bunch of hustlers belonging to the local herd should miscarry in their arrange- ments. brethren of this city to give a charity ball on the night of Decem- ber 5th, that date being the first anniversary of the instituting of the local lodge of Elks. That the affair Come to the Ball, Bill. may be of more than ordinary merit, the boys intend to secure the ser- vices of an augmented orchestra that will furnish the finest music obtain- able, and “live ones” will be ap- pointed on the various committees, assuring the very best attention for a dance that can be arranged for. devoted to securing articles of wear- ing apparel, provisions and supplies tor the poor of the city and surround- ing country, which will be distributed from a large wagon procured by the Elks for that purpose.

Robinson McKee, of Baptist Church}of Bemidji Assisted in the Services. The dedication of the new Baptist | church at Little Fork, a new town on the M. & I. between Big Falls and International Falls, took place last Sunday. The story of the establishment of the church at Little Fork is an in- teresting one. About four years ago the now hustling village, with all modein accomodations, was but a sparsely settled backwoods settle- ment, fifty miles from any railroad and absolutely prohibitive for one to travel there in the summer, except by boat. A few of the settlers who were there at that time banded themselves together and started a Sunday school in the old school house, and from this grew ' the present organization at that place, which has been instru- mental in raising funds to erect this church building, | The few workers who started this movement four vears ago, deserve a great deal of credit for their earnest- ness in their work. Rev. H. E. Fuller, pastor of the Baptist church at International | Falls, and his wife, have held ser- | vices regularly there for some time | past. The dedication services wete impressive and well attended. Ex- cellent sermons were preached by Rev. H. Robinson McKee, pastor of the Baptist church of Bemidji, and Rev. E. R. Pope, superintendent of State Mission,of Minneapolis. Excel- lent music was furnished for all the sessions of the day. This church starts out with the best of prospects, it being almost free of debt.
