COUNTY ATTORNEY HENRY FUNKLEY MAKES REPORT Was Very Successful in Prosecuting Criminal Cases in 1907.---Lost One Misdemeanor Case. The annnal report of County At- torney Henry Funkley, which*was recently submitted to Attorney Gen- eral Young, ‘shows that the county prosecutor was very successful in County Attorney Henry Funkley. conducting the legal affairs of Bel- ¥ | trami county during the year 1907. Tne following is a summary of the H | cases, etc., as taken from the report: {l | CRIMINALS PROSECUTED ON FELONY CHARGES. ™ Number of cases, 29; number of convictions, 29; number of acquit- tals, 0. Total fines collected, $615. Punishment for crimes.—Sen- tenced to death, 2 MISDEMEANORS. Number of cases, 11; Number of # | convictions, 10; number of acquit- 4 | tals, 1 Punishment.—Imprisonment in There is much in the foregoing that is of interest to the residents of H | Beltrami county. Four of the criminal cases in which the county attorney secured convictions were murder trials. James Wesley and Paul Fournier were convicted of the crime of hav- ing killed N. O. Dahl at Quiring, in and both were sen- Peter Mathieson was convicted £ | of having killed Johan Johanson at Tenstrike, and was sentenced N | to be hanged in the Beltrami county jail on February 7, 1908. Merten S. Munn was found guilty of having killed August Franklin at Baudette and was also sentenced to be hanged on the same day as Mathieson. . There were several minor crimi- nal cases in which the perpetrat- ors received state prison sentences. It is worthy of comment that of the 39 criminal cases which Mr. Funkley prosecuted during 1907, the perpetrators of the crimes were all found guilty, and not a single acquittal. Of the misdemeanors prosecuted there was but one acquittal in the 11 cases tried. . It is doubtful if any county at- torney in the entire state can show as good a record for the past year. Harris is Vice President. The Crookston papers this morn- ing announce that T. A. Harris of that city was on Tuesday evening elected vice president of the Crooks- ton city council. Mr. Harris is the father of A. E. Harris of this city, manager of the Bemidji Steam Laundry, and he has many friends in this city, having visited here quite often during the past two years. Mr. Harris is very prominent in political circles in Crookston, and has been a member of the Crookston city council for the past ten years. Modern Samaritans Install Tonight. The Modern Samaritans will install officers at the meeting of the lodge to be held this evening. Mrs. Purdy of Duluth will act as install- ing officer, and a lunch will be served. All members of the order are re- quested to be present. SECURED VALUABLE FOX HIDES ON BATTLE RIVER Peter Syverson of Saum Traps Two Silver Greys, Two Crosses and Two Reds. Peter Syverson, who lives on the Battle River, near Saum postoffice (some fifteen miles from Kelliher), is the most fortunate trapper in Bel- trami county. Mr. Syverson was in the city yes- terday, and he had with him the skins of two silver grey foxes, the hides being in excellent condition, and the color of the hair being of an exceptional brilliancy. In addition to the two silver greys, Mr. Syver- son also had two cross foxes and two reds. 5 It is estimated that Mr. Syverson will realize about $575 from the fox hides which he secured. - The silver grey skins are said to be worth at least $2.50 each; the cross skins will bring $30 each, and the two red skins are worth, probably $20. Mr. Syverson will go to St. Paul, where he will personally deal with hide and fur companies, in order that he’ may secure the highest market price for his hides, The trapping of two silver grey foxes was an exciting venture. Mr. Syverson dug his trap from a hole where it had been drawn, and in the bottom of the hole were two silver grey foxes, an exceptional catch for a northern Minnesota trapper. Committed to Asylum. Peter I. Johnson, a Finlander who resides at Duphelins, four miles west of Wadena, was yesterday taken be- | fore Judge of Probate Clark and ex- amined by the Beltrami county in- sanity board. The board decided that Johnson wss insane and he was ordered committed to the asylum at Fergus Falls. Johnson is a resident of Otter Tail county and has been an inmate of the asylum at Fergus Falls on four previous occasions. He has a sister who is an inmate of the hos- pital at the present time. Johnson, who has lived at his home tor“some time past, left Wa- dena about two weeks ago and came to Bemidji. He has been acting queerly ever since he came here. He was taken in charge by the officers before being taken before the in- sanity board. Johnson’s most recent hallucina- tion is that 'he is controlled by spirits, some of which are good and some bad, and as the spirits take possession of him he is either good, bad, or indifferent, as regards his actions. Made Final Proof. The following settlers made final proof today before Clerk of Court Fred Rhoda: Wm. D. Messer- schmidt of Langor, whose home- stead is located in Section 5, Town- ship 150, Range 31; also John Bouldouc, in Sections 30 and 31, Township 146, Range 33. Those who made final proof yes- terday are: William Bloxten, of the Town of Roosevet, whose claim is in section 14-149-35; Henry Mor- ris of Maltby, Hubbard County, Section 8-145-34;" and Alonzo B. Smith, Section 7-150-27, near North- ome, ) DISCARDS A DETEGTIVE CAREER, AFTER ARREST Justin Stoddard Was Full-Fledged “Sleuth.”---Detective Agency Had Been “‘Stringing” Him. Justin Stoddard, who claims that his home is in Tenstrike, has re- nounced his allegience to the Web- ster Detective Agency of Indian- apolis, and swears by all that is sacred that he will have nothing whatever to do in the future with the sleuth outfit in the Indiana city. Stoddard was arrested by the police late last evening and lodged in jail. He entered the home of Mrs. Rivard, on Irwin avenue, yes- terday evening, and greatly fright- ened Mrs. Rivard by his actions. Stoddard told Mrs. Rivard that he was looking for someone and in- sisted upon searching the house and having a private conversation with her. His actions caused Mrs. Rivard to believe the man crazy, and she gave him evasive answers until he left the house, when she telephoned the police and gave a description of Stoddard. 5 Stoddord was taken into custody at the M. & I. depot about 6.30 yesterday evening and taken to police headquarters. This morning Stoddard appeared before Slocum. He stated that he was a detective, and produced a star and a diploma of membership in a 7‘powerful” organiznation. He stated that he had paid $2 for membership, and that the Webster people had told him fo hunt for criminals; that he would find. them hid in snow- banks and caves in the outskirts of any city. Stoddard also said that the com- pany bled him each week for $1 for allowing him membership in that agency. Judge Slocum imposed a penalty of $25and costs. Stoddard plead for leniency; claiming he had a mother at Tenstrike who relied on him for support. Judge Slocum suspend ed the im posing of the jail sentence, Stod- dard paying the costs of the action and starting at once to walk to Tenstrike. And thus endeth the career of | one who gave promise of rivaling the late Allen Pinkerton as a sleuth. Masquerade at Nymore. \ The members of the M. B. A. lodge of Nymore will give a masquer- ade ball on Saturday - night February 22nd (Washigton’s birthday.) The lodge is plan- ning to secure the very best music obtainable, and assures every one who attends a fine time, with plenty of dancing and a general mixing of sociability. Horses for Sale. Ten head of fine logging horses have been consigned to me for sale, Call at barn'and look them over. J. P. Pogue. Additional Locals E. G. Beeson and wife of Duluth were visitors in the city last night. What’s in a name? There is assurance of quality in Hunt’s Per- fect Baking Powder and Extracts that means purity and satisfaction always. Tom Shevlin, Jr., the general manager of the Crookston Lumber company, came in yesterday from Minneapolis, where he had been looking after some business matters at the head offices of the Crookston company. William Jude, who is known among his more intimate acquaintances as “Mickey," passed through the city last evening on his way from Walker to Big Falls. Mr. Jude is in the employ of the new Leech Lake Lum- ber company (owners of the sawmill at Walker); and he will spend the next three or four weeks at Big Falls looking after the sawing of some small timber at that place for the Leech Lake company. ‘““Mickey” is a good “timber dog,” and thoroughly understands the “ins” and “outs” of logging by latter-day methods. Attention, Elks. A regular meeting of Bemidji Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O. E.,will be held at the hall Thursday evening, January 16th. Every member of the lodge is earnestly requested to be present, as there will be business of importance; also initiation work. C. L. Decker, E. R.
