VOLUME 6. NUMBER 63. BOND PROPOSITIONS ARE DECISIVELY DEFEATED Returns So Far Indicate that the Special Election, to Vote County Bonds, Resulted in Emphatic Negative Vote on Propositions. The special election, held through- out Beltrami county yesterday to vote upon the proposition of issuing bonds in the sum of $195,000 for the purpose of securing money with which to pay the outstanding float- ing indebtedness of the county; and also to vote upon the proposition of issuing bonds in the sum of $50,000 to raise money with which to lay out, build and improve public high- ways in Beltrami county, were undoubtedly overwhelmingly de- feated, judging from the returns received from several precincts early \ today. That the propositions would both be defeated was generally conceded by those who were well informed in the situation. There appeared to be an especial antipithy against issu- ing the bonds and in many precincts “No” was registered with such em- phasis as to constitute a unanimous negative vote. The voters in the Town of Grant Valley were especially against the bonds and registered forty-nine votes against the proposition for taking up the floating indebetedness and forty- seven against the road proposition. In the Town of Bemidji, one indi- vidual voted in favor of proposition No. 1, while forty-one voted no. Two were in favor of proposition No. 2, and forty-two voted against. In the city of Bemidji the vote was as follows: Fitst - Ward—No. 1.—For 28; against 56; thrown out 1. No.2— For 15; against 66. Second Ward—No. 1.—For 31; against 31. No. 2. For 16; against 43, Third Ward—No. 1.—For 20; against 72; thrown out 1. No. 2.— For 17 against 77; thrown out 1. Fourth Ward—No. 1.—For 13; againsi 32. No. 2.—For 31; againts 12, Thrown out 1.

Dennis Won Coupling Contest, Word was received here last even- ing from Thief River Falls to the effect that Ray Dennis of this city, the “crack” coupler of the Bemidii fire department, had won the coup- ling contest at the tournament, and that the time made by Dennis was 4seconds flat. The time made by Ray is very close to the world’s record for that event, if it does not equal that record, .Considering the fact that Dennis has not touched the coupling this year before going into the con- test, his showing was phenominal. Red Lake Falls won the associa- tion championship banner hose nace. FOR SALE—House and two lots, situated at 609 Second street. Will sell dirt cheap for cash. Apply to Tom Symington.
