? % THE BEMIDJI VOLUME 7. NUMBER 65. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1909. COUNTY OFFIGIALS FORMALLY ACCUSED St. Paul Dispatch Says Beltrami Com- missioners Have Been Charged with Malfeasance. ATTORNEY GENERAL MAKES NO STATEMENT ON INDICTMENTS Complaint Made to the Governor.—A Hearing Will Be Held Here, Be- ginning luly 7. The St. Paul Dispatch of last evening is authority for the state- ment that Attorney General Simp- son has formally filed charges with Governor Johnson against four Bel- tami county officials, charging them with malfeasance in office. The Dispatch says: “Formal charges of malfeasance and nonfeasance were filed this morning by Attoaney General Simp- son with Governor Johnson against four Beltrami county officials. The filing of the charges was an out- growth of an examination into affairs in the northern county, which has been in progress for the last few weeks. “The officers against whom the charges were filed today are: County Auditor John Wilmann, County Com- missioners F. O. Sibley, Wes Wright, and A. W. Danaher. It has been persistently rumored that secrect indictments have been returned against these same officials on the grounds covered by the Beltrami county grand jury, but Attorney General Simpson denies any knowl- edge of such indictments. ““The charges filed with the gover- nor were signed by Public Examiner Anton Schaefer. *“The examinations of the accused will begin next week at Bemidji, the county seat of Beltrami county, and they will be conducted by a special commissioner appointed by the governor. It is very probable that the commissioner will recom- mend their dismissal from office if the the result of the examinations should warrant.” Local news on last page. BlG CELEBRATION HERE MONDAY If the weather man will favor this section with non-leakable clouds, clear heavens and a smiling counten- ance on “Old Sol,” a celebration of the nation’s natal day will be pulled off in this city next Monday that will entirely eclipse anything of the kind ever attempted here. The members of the executive committee have labored diligently, and those who have been appointed on sub-committees have displayed much energy in assisting in the arrangements; and everything has been done that was necessary to insure a successful and enjoyable celebration, with “something doing” all day and well on into the night. There is every reason to believe that there will be a good sized crowd of visitors to the city from outside towns. Through the efforts of President Burke, the M. & I. rail- way will run the night train north from Brainerd Sunday night, on the regular night schedule, leaving Brainerd at 12:05 and arriving in Bemidji at 3:50 in the morning, giv- ing visitors from the south an oppor-| tunity to rest several hours before the “doings” are started. The M. & I. south-bound passen- ger train Monday morning will no doubt bring a goodly number from the north, as the celebration has UMMER JEWELRY ! This is the season for Bracelets, Waist Sets, ete.

The Red Lake train will arrive at 10:30 in the forenoon, and there is little doubt but that there will be a considerable number come from points along that line. There is no celebration atany of the towns west between Bemidji and Fosston, on Monday, and it is reasonable to expect largze numbers from these places. The program is a long one, there being many events that must follow each other regularly, and it is absolutely necessary for anyone who intends to participate in the parade or any of the races or games to be on hand very early, prepared to go ahead at a moment’s notice, as the committee will tolerate no delay. If any of the races fail to fill with entries promptly, such race or races will be declared off and the purses revert to the celebration committee. The parade will be started prompt- ly at the hour mentioned (between 9:30 and 10 p. m.) and everything to be used in the parade must be in place promptly at 9:30, atthe corner of Third and Irving, near Pogue’s barn, which is the starting point, Immediately after the parade, which will terminate at the City Park, the exercises of the day will be held. They will be brief, with an oration by Hon. F. J. McPartlin of International Falls. Then will follow the pony race and dinner. The entire afternoon will be occupied with races and games, etc., and they will {be pulled off very rapidly. The official program is as follows, and is the most complete ever offered in Bemidji: FORENOON 9:30 A. M.—Grand Industrial and Calithumpian Parade.

RAINY RIVER BANK ROBBED BY BANDITS Two Masked Men Overpower Cashier and Gain Easy Access to the Bank’s Currency. ROBBERS SECURED ABOUT $7000 AND MADE GOOD THEIR ESCAPE Cut Telephone Wires.-Suspect Arrested by Marshal Dundas and Held at Baudette. Baudette, July 3.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The Bank of Nova Scotia, at Rainy River, was robbed of between $7,000 and $8,000, yes- terday forenoon, by two masked men, who entered the bank, and, with drawn revolvers, overpowered the cashier, bound and gagged him, and made good their escape with the money, which was quite easily obtained. The robbery had been carefully planned and was carried out without a hitch. The two robbers entered the bank .| very quietly at 10 o’clock yesterday forenoon, and had the cashier cov- ered before the latter was aware of what was going on. The work of gagging and binding the “money- changer” took but a few moments and the robbers rifled the safe and took all loose money laying on the counters, made their exit from the bank and got clear away before anyone attempted to intercept their movements. The robbery was discovered a few moments after being pulled off and soon excited citizens were endeaver- ing to give chase to the fleeing” thieves, but there appeared to be no clue as to what direction the men took after leaving the bank. The robbers cut the telephone wires between Rainy River and Baudette, before making their escape, making it impossible for the Rainy River authorities to notify the police on this side of the boundary line. Robert Dundas, marshal of Bau- dette, has one man under arrest, as a suspect, and will hold him in the jail here until he gives a clear account of his movements at the time the robbery was committed. It is believed that the men who committed the robbery at Rainy River are members of the gang which looted the Weeks hardware store in Spooner Thursday night, when $75 worth of revolvers and guns were stolen. There appears to be no definite description of the robbers. on the calendar.
