o VOLUME 6. NUMBER 172. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, Fmimy EVENING. NOVEMBER 6, 1908. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH OPEN SEASON FOR KILLING DEER AND MOOSE, NOY. 10 Indications Are that Deer Will Be More Plentiful This Fall than for Many Years Previous.—Crowd of Huanters Are Coming. The open season for killing moose and deer begins next Tuesday (November 10th) and lasts to and including November 30th. The following is ihe law relative to the killing of big game, as given by the state game laws of 1905, with amendments of 1907: “Sec. 33. Deer and Moose— Season for Killing.—No person shall hunt, catch, take, kill, ship, convey or cause to be shipped or trans- ported by common or private carrier, to any person, either within or with- out the state, or purchase, expose for sale, have in possession with intent to sell, sell to any person or have in possession or under control at’any time, any elk, moose, caribou, deer or fawn, or any part thereof, including the hides and horns, except as herein provided. “Provided, that deer may be killed between Nov. 10 and Nov. 30 of the same year, and any deer or any part thereof, may be had in possession by any person during the same time, but no person shall kill or have in possession during said time more than two (2) deer, or parts thereof; and provided further, that any person who is law- fully in possession of any deer, or any part thereof, may ship ot cause the same to be shipped in the man- ner provided for by this chapter, but not otherwise; and provided, further, that male antlered moose may be killed between Nov. 10 and Nov. 30 of the same year, and any such male moose, or part thereof, may be had in possession by any person during the time aforesaid, but no person shall kill or have in possession during said time more than one (1) male moose, or part thereof; and provided, further, that when any deer or such male moose or any part thereof, are lawfully in the possession of any person as provided for in this chapter, such person may continue in the pos- session of the same for five (5) days after the time herein limited for killing said animals; and pro- vided, further, that no cow or female moose can be killed or had in pos- session at any time.” The law requires that all persons must have a license in order to law- fully hunt and kill big game, whether hunting in their own or another county. A non-resident of the state must pay $25 for a non-resident license; a resident of the state must pay $1 for a resident license. ~The non-resident license must be obtained from the State Game and Fish com- | $50.00—or mission; a resident license s obtained from the county auditor of the county in which the hunter lives, and cannot lawfully be obtained elsewhere, It is unlawful to do any of the fol- lowing acts, in hunting: To place or receive game in cold storage. To hunt or carry firearms in state parks. To hunt on land of another with- out permission. To use traps, snares, artificial lights, nets, bird lime or set guns, to kill game animals or birds. To kill any game birds or animals in any other way than by shooting them with a gun held to the shoul- er. To use the hunting license of an- other person—minimum penalty to use another’s ship« o ping coupon. To use sink boats, floating batter- ies, sunken boxes, tubs or floating blinds when shooting or to hunt or shoot between dark and daylight. There is no doubt but that deer are more plentiful this year than for any previous season since settlers began to make their homes through- out the northern part of the state. While the forest fires this fall drove some of the deer across the border into Canada, later fires which prevailed on ‘the other side of the “line” caused the animalsto flock back into the “States;” and this latter condition is especially true of moose and caribou. The fires left many clearings that will be the natural “stamping ground” of deer, so that hunting deer will be better than ever before. Caribou are, of course, protected; and since the Game and Fish com- mission has received the co-opera- tion of the Indian authorities in for- bidding Indians to kill caribou, those animals will undoubledly multiply in numbers for some time to come. There are many of them in the country north and northwest of upper Red lake; and reports are that many caribou have come down south from Canada into the northern part of Itasca county. Already many hunters who reside in the twin cities have written to parties in Bemidji requesting in- formation as to good hunting grounds; and there is every indica- tion that there will be the same army of hunters through the woods of Koochiching, Beltrami, Cass, Itasca and Hubbard counties after November 10th. BELTRAMI CO. RETURNS ARE SLOWLY GOMING IN Below Is Given Vote on Officers for Which There Was Any Contest. The following is the Beltrami county vote of candidates for offices, who had opposition at the general election, in fifty out of sixty pre- cincts, which have made final returns: For president—Taft 1743; Bryan 588. For governor—Jacobson Johnson 1287. For judge—Stanton 1802; Wright 902. For Congress—Steenerson 1762: Sageng 593. For register of deeds—Harris 1838; Malzahn 796. 1216; For sheriff—Hazen 1907; Tedford | 557. For attorney—McKusick 1607; Russell 1148, For superintendent of schools— Stewart 1799: Cameron 970. There were contests for election of county commissioners in the Second, Fourth and Fifth Commis- sioner districts and the vote in each is as follows: With fifteen precincts in the Second district the total vote for commissioner was as follows: Helic Clementson_350; John Gil- stad 241; O. B. Olson 212. In the Fourth Commissioner dis- trict there are returns from seven precints which gives Charles Durand 91 and Viggo Peterson 97. In the Fifth District, eight pre- cincts give A, W. Danaher 181 and O. S. Huset 124. From the returns so far in on com- missioners it is a cetainty that Helic Clementson, the republican nominee, has been elected county commission- er of the Second district over John Gilstad, democrat, and O. B. Olson, independent. In the Fourth district Viggo Peterson, independent candidate, is in the lead of Charles Durand and it is believed that Mr. Peterson has been elected. _However, the official returns may change this vote some- what in the Fourth district. | In the Fifth district A. W. Dana- her, republican nominee, has defeated O. S. Huset, independent candidate. Additiona' local matter will be found on fourth page. insure his election. Stanton 1. officials of the election. CLAIMS WRIGHT MEN ARE JUGGLING AITKIN VOTE Brainerd, Nov. 6.—(Special to Pioneer.)—A telephone message which has just been received from Aitkin states that there is good foundation for the belief that there has been some tampering with the returns from remote parts of Aitkin county, and that there has been a deliberate attempt to deprive Judge Stanton of majorities in several precincts, giving the majorities to Wright, which, if continued, might give enough votes to the Park Rapids man to There is one precinct in which it is known that when the votes were counted, by- standers who were present at the time of the counting, there was a majority of 16 for Stanton. The returns as made out by the judges of election in this precinct were reversed, Wright 16. The supporters of Judge Stanton will get together and insist on correct returns being made in.this precinct and some others in which there has been suspicious work on the part of F C. W. MORSE.

Every year our boys pile up bigger scores against the teams that Bemidji plays and at no time have Now after two games this season they want another and they won’t | play on the grounds here or at Deer River. Manager Joe O’Day has challenged them to play for a purse of*$150 a side, the game to be played at Deer River and the officials to be obtained from Duluth. “We do-not believe they will accept as they must be wise enough to know their only chance of winning would be through a fluke and Grand Rapids makes a specialty of watching such things. “With one or two exceptions the Bemidji bunch are composed of a poor lot of sports and poor losers.

The editor of the Pioneer (A. G. Rutledge) conducted the negotia- tions with Mr. O’Day, and we had the money right in our hand to back up our offer to Mr. O’Day. The writer has no desire to antag- onize the good people of Grand Rapids; much less do we want to “rile” Bro. Kiley, but if the latter kr.ows the real facts in this football controversy, he will take Walleen, Doran and a few other of his town boys there who are all good boys, but slightly hot-headed, into an alley and give them a talking to. We do not for one moment believe in “dirty playing,” either in base- ball or football; but we have seen some of these football games, and are of the opinion that Bemidji got about as “raw” a deal at the “Rap- ids” as could have been handed to the vititors here. The facts of the chanllenge and the answer are these: O’Day sent a bombastic letter to the local manager sf Company K football team, offering to play at Grand Rapids for a purse of $150. He was answered that the locals would play anywhere on neutral t grounds, with neutral officials. The letter was answered over the ’phone from Cass Lake last Sunday evening. O’Day was asked, three times in succession, if his “crack” bunch would play Company K anywhere outside of Beltrami county (home of Company K) or Itasca county (home of Grand Rapids team). The Grand Rapids manager stated, very distinctly, that “his boys’ absolutely refused to play anywhere outside of Grand Rapids or Deer River. Anyone who is at all acquainted around Grand Rapids knows of the brotherly love that exists between the people of the “Rapids” and Deer River, and Bemidji would have about as much chance of getting a “square deal” in either place as a snowball would of becoming frozen in “the next world.” Again, we wish to repeat: The Company K football team will play Grand Rapids anywhere outside the home counties of the two teams for a purse of $100 a side. This is a sportsmanlike proposi- tion; and “put up or shut up,” you fellows over east. JUDGE STANTON LEADS IN JUDIGIARY CONTEST Judge Has Majority of Fifty-seven at Last Accounts on Returns This Afternnon. The contest for the office of judge of the district court of Beltrami county is the closest race that was ever run for a public office of any consequence in northern Minnesota, and it is more than likely that it will take the official count to defimtely decide the contest. From returns which have been coming in during the last few hours before going to press with the Pion- eer, we believe that Judge Stanton has been elected, although there is an indication that some ‘“‘crooked work” is being done in Aitkin county whereby the returns are being juggled in order to boost Mr. Wright into office. This isa risky business; and it can be distinctly understood that the matter will be sifted to the bottom. 3 (Continued on last page.) TRl
