| TR REQUEST SPECIAL AGENT - GOUNGIL REVOKES LIGENSE [Continued from First Page.] says he has no particular interest in this prosecution and that others have not dictated to him. «I believe the United. States; government has no right to dictate what this body is to do and I should like to see your honorable body try this case on its merits and have these witnesses procured here to give testimony and also that we might crossexamine them.”. Mr. Larson: “Iam not here to dictate to you. You may do as your free will says. I am here simply to present the formal request of the department and state the plain facts to you, permitting you later to decide what you will do.” Chairman Kirk stated that he wanted to see all saloon men given fair play, and he asked the city at- torney several questions regarding whose duty it was to look up evidence regarding saloon keepers violating the Jaw. City Attorney Gibbons said: “I signed this agreement and agreed to assist the Indian service in enforcing the laws, but I do not deem it my place to frequent these places in order that I may secure evidence for the prosecution. This, I believe, is the duty of the mayor and the police force; and when such evidence is produced it is my duty to prosecute - such violators of the law. *Your chairman knows that I have never failed to prosecute any case that has been brought tomy atten- tion and I will so’ continue as long as I am city attorney.” Conncilman - Smart asked that Chief of Police Knox appear before the council and state what instruc- tions he had been given by the mayor. Mr. Knox stated that the mayor had ordered the saloons closed ac- cording to the state law; and when asked by Mr. Smart why this was not done, Mr. Knox replied: “We have brought several com- plaints before the council asking revocation of licenses, but in all instances these cases have been whitewashed.” " Councilman E. A. Schneider stated to the council that in his opinion it was better for the council to show a disposition to co-operate with the federal authorities and not to openly oppose them in this particular. Mr. Schneider further stated that should the council see fit to protect Mr. Dugas and not revoke his license the federal authorities had it in their power to close all saloons in the City of Bemidji or any other [ JOHNSTONS ‘We have just received a new complete line of JOHNSTONS celebrated chocolates in all sizes 2 CHOCOLATES T-R-1-0 White Cherries in Marachino Chocolate Dipped THESE THREE KINDS IN ONE BOX Swiss Style Milk Chocolate Creams CHOCOLATES Dutch Bitter Sweets ever been brought out. —a different s Watch Our Windows Postoffice Corner This new package is the hit of the year.

Kui How Bemidji, Minn. Does that sink in? The simple truth, in black and white, is that when you buy lumber or building material from us, you can throw all uncertanity to the four winds. Goods of inferior quality may cost little, but they may not be WORTH anythlng. No matter how little you pay for an article, it is not really cheap unless it will satisfactorily fulfil the purpose for which it is intended. Our lumber and_ building material is made good enough for the White R, e House, but is sold to those people who want “the best yon've got." If you're that kind of a buyer, we can please you.

At the conclusion of Alderman Schneider’s remarks, ‘the council retired into executive session to consider the request of Mr. Larson to revoke the Dugas license. On “returning to the council chamber, the council, by unani- mous vote, adopted the resolution given above revoking the license, Mr. Russell, attorney for Mr. Dugas, stated that this was not the end of this matter and that he intended to take .t up in some form or other a little later on. The liquor license applications of Oscar Benson, Frank Silversack and Harry Gunsalos were granted. and their respective bonds approved. A motion was passed asking the city attorney to draw up a resolution refunding to T. Dugas the amount of license due for the unexpired term, said resolution to be presented to the council at its next meeting. The Warfield Electric Co. was given a contract to furnish city necessary transformers for the pump- ing station, the council passinga resolution allowing the company a rental of $15.00 per month. SALOONKEEPERS AT GASS LAKE MAY RESIST ORDER Tomorrow Is Last Day ntl All Saloons Closing, Except Two, at Cass Lake. Cass Lake, Oct. 26.—(Special to Pioneer.)— Mayor Lange has re- ceived a telegram from Wm. E. Johnson, chief Indian inspector, stating that by the 27th of this month all the saloonkeepers in the village with two exceptions must close their establishments and have all of their liquors out of the village. The saloonkeepers who will be affected by the ruling are Charles Nelson, William Kirchhof, Archie Siddon, Albert Marshik and H. D. Latendress. The Tedford and Endion hotel saloons will be permitted to to run, on the grounds that the dealers did not sell to Indians. Soon after receiving the telegram the mayor informed the saloon men as to its contents and he further stated that they had been licensed by the village council to operate saloons and as long as they did so without violating the law, the coun- cil would not interfere. No evidence has been presented before the coun- cil to show why these men should not be permitted to run as well as the others until such evidence is presented the council will not inter- fere. Itis not known yet whether or not the saloonkeepers who are ordered to close will remain open. There is, however, considerable indignation as to the manner in which these men are being forced out of business and should the order remain a law there is no doubt but that the saloon men who are to be ousted will put up a fight. District Court at Grand Rapids. Judgs Stanton departed yester- day afternoon for Grand Rapids and presided this morning at the opening term of the district court for Itasca county, which convened there today. The judge stated that there will be a heavy calander of both civil and criminal cases at the Grand Rapids term and he believes that the people of [tasca county will be ¢‘courting” nearly all winter. A term of court for Cass county will begin on November 23, at which time Judge Wright will relieve judge Stanton at Grand Rapids and Judge Stanton will preside at the Cass county term. It is believed that the term at Walker will not exceed ten days, at the conclusion of which Judge Stanton will return to Grand Rapids and resume the charge of that term, which he stated, will probably last well on into Feb- ruary. 1. 0. 0.

IELAYA LOSES ONE HUNDRED KILLED Nicaraguan Revolutionists Win Important Battle, Bluefields, Nicaragua, Oct. 26.—The tug Blanca, which has arrived here from Greytown, brings news of the first important battle of the revolu- ton. Genéral Chamorros’ forces fought an engagement with 1,000 of Presi- deat Zelaya’s troops at a point below Boca San Carlos, on the San Juan river. The revolutionists won a de- cisive victory, 100 of the government troops being killed and 300 wounded. General Chamorros’ losses were slight. The insurgents captured two Krupp slege guns and 400 rifles. This defeat for President Zelaya will doubtless have a deterrent effect on recruiting for the government service at Ma- nagua and is likely also to bring addi- tional revolutionists to the standards of the insuzgents. General Chamorros is now advancing slowly. The steamer Yulu also has reached here with the details of the capture by the revolutionists of Cape Gracias a Dios. This port was easily taken, not more than five“or six men being killed and a small number wounded. This gives the revolutionists control of the entire Atlantic coast. TOWN HAS NARROW ESCAPE Citizens of Mobridge, S. D., Save Place From Destruction. Mobridge, S. D., Oct. 26.—The en- tire population of Mobridge was forced to fight a prairie fire to save the town. The fire was started by a locomotive at the river bridge and in a short time it was in the outskirts of the town, with the wind blowing a gale. Herman Ferguson’s house and shop, A. C. Dykeman’s barn and N. L. Nel- son’s outbuildings were burned and Rev. H. G. Booth’s house, the school- house and the Norwegian Lutheran church were scorched. About 200 acres of prairle land were burned over, destroying between 800 and 1,000 tons of hay in the stack.

MELILLA TO BE FORTIFIED Government’s Future Policy in Mo- rocco Will Be to Hold Positions Al- ready Occupied and No Effort-Will Be Made to Secure New Territory. Sultan’s Assistance Will Be Asked to Disarm Tribesmen. Madrid, Oct. 26.—Lieutenant Gen- eral de Lugue, minister of war in the new ILiberal cabinet, confirmed in an interview a report that the govern- ment had decided not to push further .| the Moroccan campaign. He said that if the Liberals had been in power before they would have avoid- ed the bloody and costly war and that henceforth the object of the govern- ment would be to guaraniee the safe- ty of Melilla by the system of forti- fied positions which were already oc- cupied. From now on, the minister of war said, the work of the army would be that of pacification and not of dom- ination' 2nd, while Spain would de- fend the occupied positions, an effort would be made to induce the Rifis to diserm and in this movement the aid of the suvltan’s emissaries would be enlisted. De Luque added that though the Liberals disapproved the recent acts of repression at Barcelona Ferrer had been proven guilty on evidence and had been legally and judicially condemmned. HARD FIGHT OVER EVIDENCE Defense in Arbogast Case Objects to Its Admission. St. Paul, Oct. 26.—A battle for ad- mission of evidence, with Emma Ar- bogast Ulmer on the stand, was the feature of the trial of Mrs. Mina Arbo- gast on the charge of murdering her husband, Louis Arbogast. The partic- ular point was that the state wanted to establish the finding of Mrs. Arbo- gast's dress, soaked in blood, behind a box in the room where the murder was committed two weeks after the tragedy. Mrs. Arbogast now sits at counsel table with her veil up. This is the first time judge or jury have seen her face. Scores of women standing in the courtroon: were driven out almost vio- Jently when they refused to move at repeated requests. AS RESULT OF A QUARREL Chicago Woman Shoots and Kills a Boarder. Chicago, Oct. 26.—Phillip Barrington Hardy, who came here recently from Toronto, Can., was shot and killed by Mrs. Anna Van Eyck, twenty-eight vears old, at her home after a quarrel over money affairs.

According to the police words fol- lowed over financial matters and the ‘woman ran to her room and procured a revolver. When she went to Har- dy's rcom he exclaimed: “You won’t dare use that.” Thereupon she levelled the revolver at him and shot him through the heart. IN FEAR OF BOMB THROWERS Russian Police Seern Helpless Before Terrorists. Odessa, Oct. 26—The arrest of seven alleged terrorists here charged with bomb throwing has brought out the fact that bomb throwing has had a wonderful revival in Russia. The efforts of the police to prevent these outrages seem of little avail. There were twenty-six successful or atterapted outrages in Furopean Rus- sla and several in Sfberia during Sep- tember and the October figures prom- ise to be even larger. ‘With large numbers of experts secretly producing bombs police ef- forts at suppressing the unauthorized possession of explosives-have little effect PRISONER ADMITS HIS GUILT Confesses to Murder of Woman Found Near Islip, L.
