HEARING OF REQUEST TO REVOKE LICENSES UNIQUE John Kling’s Remarkable Lapse of Memory Destroyed Much of Force of Special Officer’s Testimony as To Selling Liquor to Indians. The requests which H. A. Larson, special officer of the Indian service, filed with the board of county com- missioners to have the liquor licenses of Chris Rogers and Carl Saterlee revoked because of alleged sales of intoxicating liquors to In- dians were considered to be not quite sufficient proof to warrant the fevoca- tion asked of the board and requests were refused, yesterday afternoon, aftera lengthy hearing, which at times became quite animated. Mr. Larson’s request for revoca- tion of the Rogers’ license was practically as follows: “Pursuant to the instructions from Honorable William E. Johhson, chief special officer of the United States Indian service, I respectfully request that your honorable body revoke the license to sell intoxicating liquors issued to Christopher Rogers of Shotley, Minn., on May 5th, 1909, for the reason that the said Christo- pher Rogers habitually supplies in- toxicating liquors to the Indians through go-betweens, and that early in October he supplied to the In- dians two bottles of beer through one Ole Miller, and that on the same day he supplied another In- dian with a bottle of whisky through one Arthur Haines; both of these transactions being in the presence of special agents of the Indian De- partment. “Further, that because of its close proximity to the Red Lake reserva- tion, the location of the saloon at this place is considered by this department to be detrimental to its Indian wards. “It is further requested that your honorable body issue no license to any other individual at this place.” The request made by Mr. Larson for the revocation of the license of Carl Saterlee contained about the same ‘‘preamble” as did the request in the Rogers matter, stating that the license had been granted to Saterlee on September 7, 1909, and the revocation was asked “for the reason that said Carl M. Saterlee has been supplying intoxicating liquors both directly and indirectly to the Indians. “That on November 3rd, 1909, said Carl M. Saterlee sold to one Frank L. Kling, an enrolled Red Lake Indian, a flask containing whisky. Said Carl M. Saterlee has on other occasions supplied Indians with liquor; further that the location of this saloon because of its close proximity to the Red Lake reserva- tion, is considered by this depart- ment to be detrimental to the best interests of the Indians wards of the government. “Therefore it is requested that this license be cancelled and re- voked and that no new license be issued to anyone to sell intoxicat- ing liquors in this place.” D. H. Fisk represented Mr. Rogers and P.]. Russell represented Mr. Saterlee, both gentlemen putting up a strenuous fight for their clients, and claiming that an attempt was being made to railroad Rogers and Saterlee out of business without giv- ing them a fair opportunity to dis- prove the charges which had been lodged against them. Many authorities were quoted as to the right of the county board to revoke the licenses without review, and the claim was made by Messrs. Fisk and Russell that the charges Merchandise with a Real Guarantee BEMIDJI woman in this vicinity. fall. T. J. GRANE & 0.

The board voted, 4 to 1, to refuse the request of Mr. Larson for the revocation of the Rogers license. The Saterlee matter was treshed over considerable ground, Mr. Rus- sell contending that none of the claims made by Mr. Larson were in any way substantiated except by hearsay. Frank Kling, who is serving a sentence of sixty days in the county jail here as a result of introducing liquor in the Indian country, to which charge he pleaded guilty, was brought before the board and asked to state if he had ever told Mr. Larson that he had bought liquor from Saterlee at Nebish. Kling’s face wore an absent- minded expression, and he avowed be “couldn’t just remember.” He gave a similar answer to every ques- tion put to him by Mr. Larson, and it is very evident that if his mind continues in its present blank state, Sheriff Hazen will be called upon to remove him to the state institution at Fergus Falls. . Mr. Larson insinuated strongly that Kling’s mental condition was but temporary and had been super- induced by undue influence by parties interested in the hearing, which insinuation was resented in vigorous language by Mr. Russell. A vote was finally taken on the matter of the revocation of the Satterlee license, Commissioners Clementson and Peterson not voting, Mr. Fellows voting nay and Commis- sioners Schroeder and Myhre voting aye. After considerable discussion, another vote was taken, Commus- sioners Schroeder and Myhre voting to revoke the license and Commis- sioners, Peterson, Clementson and Fellows voting no. Exhibits at National Corn Exchange. C. P. Bull, secretary of the Minne- sota Field Crop Breeders’ tion, associa- St. An- thons Park, writes as follows con- Experiment Station. cerning the National Corn Exposi- tion, which will be held at Omaha, explaining how the railroads will bandle and carry all exhibits tended for the exhibition free of charge: “To all those who may be inter- ested in the sending of exhibits of corn, grains or grasses to the Na. tional Corn Exposition, I am author- ized to state that farmers living within the twenty-five mile limit of any Great Northern road will have their exhibits carried free of charge to the Exposition at Omaha, by directing the same to the agent at their nearest point and marking on the address tag, 'For the National Corn Exposition.’ “The Great Northern road is ac- cummulating these exhibits in an especially prepared room in St. Paul. All exhibits received there by the 20th of November will be carried free of charge. “In the southern part of the state the Great western will pick up ex- hibits for free carriage to Omaha at Minneapolis, Winona, and Simpson, Minnesota. “It is enrirely probable that the North Western road will have one of these free cars running between Minneapolis and Omaha by way of Mankato, St. James and Worthing- ton. Further notice will appear later. “Premium lists and information regarding the preparation and ship} ment of exhibits may be had by writing to the undersigned, or to the Exposition at Omaha.” in- Is Popular at Fargo. The Fargo Sunday News recently made the following very kind men- tion of H. W. Alsop, the popular and efficient town clerk and assessor of the Town of Birch. Mr. Alsop was recently visiting at Fargo and, judging from the News article, he has a whole lot of friends down there. The News says: “H. W. Alsop, who has been visit- ing his son, H. T. Alsop for the past week left last night for Bemidji.- “Mr. Alsop isa candidate for the office of Auditer of Beltrami county, made vacant by the removal of John Wilmann, the present auditor, by Gov. Eberhart of Minnesota, and his name will be considered by the county commissioners at their meet- mz next Tuesday. “The many Fargo and Moorhead friends of Mr. Alsop hope he will land the office to which he is thor- oughly fitted, having been deputy auditor of Clay county, Minn., for a number of years, and an expert accountant. Mr. Alsop was business manager on the Fargo Call several years ago.” BLACKDUCK Blackduck, Nov. 17.— (Special correspondence of the Pioneer.) . Ben Gardener has given up his position as porter at the Palace hotel. A special matinee for children was given at the Sherburg Theatre Saturday afternoon. Splendid weather-for hunters. A number of deer have already been brought in since the season opened. Ole Bloss moved his family down of town, where they will remain this winter. Three of the teachers,Miss Hagen, Miss Hostetter and Miss Laurie, are now occupying rooms in the C.-W. Conway home. B. Jenkins and family moved in from their homestead south of town and are occupying one of their cot- tages on Third street. Rev. O. H.

Wilson and children came down from the homestead, near Kelliher, Thursday for a visit with Mr. Wilson who is sick at his son’s home here. Mr. Wilson’s health is to return home. Soo Road Brings Boom. With the certainty that the main line of the new Soo railroad is going to pass through Bemidji, evidenced not only by word of mouth and written instrument but also by the beginning of the actual work of con- struction within our business dis- trict, Bemidji stock has jumped up about 35 per cent; in other words property which was worth $100 a month ago is now hard to buy at 1 $135. In spite of the very marked in- crease in the demand for Bemidji property the owners of real estate here seem to show a reluctance to sell where eagerness has character- ized their hustling conduct hereto- fore. With the assurance of the Soo and the bright prospects which Bemidji has for several other institutions, both business and public, there is a prosperity of Bemidji and property owners are inclined to hold on. Apron Sale and Chicken Pie Supper. An apron sale and chicken pie supper will be given on Friday afternoon and evening in the Odd Fellows hall by the Baptist Ladies’ Aid.
