The state first called Hazel Far- rier, the young girl who has lost her right arm as a result of the shooting at Pitt. She gave a straightforward story as to how the party with whom she went to Thompson’s house, was a charivari crowd; and she stated positively that she identified Thomp- son as being the person who had shot her and how she had been taken to a hospital at Winnipeg, where her arm had been amputated.

A. B. Hazen was called and testi- fied to Thompson having said practically the same thing to him that he had to Mr. Cisco; after which the state rested. C. R. Middleton, who is defending Thompson, in . conjunction with State Senator Peterson of Moorhead, moved that the case against the defendendant be dismissed and Thompson be given his liberty. Mr. Middleton based his motion on the grounds, first, that the indict- ment did not charge a public offense; second, that the evidence offered on the part of the state did not prove the offense sought to be charged, beyond a reasonable doubt and did not establish any offense; and that there was nothing to show any intent on the part of the defend- ant to commit such an offense. The motion was denied by the court. Mr. Middleton addressed the jury, and stated that the defeneant had but a few witnesses and that it would take but little more than an hour to close the case for the defense, and he thought the case would be in the hands of the jury yet this after- noon; and the defendant’s witnessés were then called. John C. Cumlins and G. F. Row- ley, who were indicted on the charge of conducting an unlawful drinking place at Graceton, in the northern part of the county, were arraigned in court and plead not guilty, and their cases were continued until the next term of court, on motion of the defendants, and the court denied, for the present, the application for separate trials of the accused. Charles. and Fred Yonkers appeared in court, and with the con- sent of the county attorney and per- mission of the court, withdrew their pleas of not guilty to the crime of larceny in the second degree, for which they had been indicted, and entered a plea of guilty to the crime of petty larceny, and the court sen- tenced them to confinement in the county jail for a period of thirty days. The grand jury will meet again Wednesday at 10 a. m., having adjourned last Saturday until Wednesday. Team Work at Bowling Alleys.

Barker returned from the automobile show in Minneapolis bubbling over with enthusiasm. At the show it was clearly demonstrated that the Velie is a car that can be classed with automobiles valued at $3,000 and up. The Bemidji people attending the show with Mr. Barker were very much pleased to learn that the Bemidji agency is representing such a high-grade car for a medium price. Mr. Barker’s new Velie touring car for demonotration purposes has arrived, and he is at all times ready to show the merits of this car to inter- ested -parties. What others say of the Velie, “Rides like a boat, is graceful in design, is beautifully finished and equipped, and is built for the critical buyer.” These remarks are heard mostly from those who own a Valie, and an owner’s recommendation has more weight with the public than a by-stander’s.

PAGIFIG An Innovation in the Northern Pacific’s Chicago-Portland Service. New Equipment This Month. The Northern announces that it will receive from the car builders on March 1st, ten new observation cars of the type now operated on the North Coast Limited. These observation cars will thereafter be operated on both the North Coast Limited and the North- ern Pacific Express, the latter being the fast through 72-hour train be- tween Chicago and Portland. This train, which was placed in service last summer, has proven a most popular one, both east and west bound, and caters to a very high class of patronage. The Northern Pacific manage- ment, therefore, has determined to make it equal in character to the North Coast Limited by providing | these new observatiou-library-buffet cars carrying barber, bath, a library of current fiction and travel, and the popular magazines. This train pro- vides a la carte dining car. sérvice all the way, is electric-lighted throughout and carries a standard drawing-room and a tourist sleeping | car through between Chicago and Portland, as well as similar cars between Chicago and Seattle-Ta- coma.

For some time, W. B. Stewart of Bemidji has been corresponding with C. G. Schulz, state superintendent of public instruction, relative to the summer school for Beminji next summer, and the school for the three counties has been granted by the state superintendent; and in granting the school, Superintendent Schulz designates Prof. A. P. Ritchie, superintendent of the Be- midji schools, as conductor, to have charge of the school. In a letter to Prof. Ritchie, Super- intendent Schulz says: “You will conduct a six weeks’ training school at Bemidji,that begins June 20th and has been assigned for Beltrami, Hubbard, and Koochi- ching counties, with their respective county superintendents: Mr. W. B. Stewart of Bemidji, Miss Cora E. Crawford of Park Rapids, and- Miss Anunie E. Shelland of International Falls. “Your assistants are to be Dr. J. P. Uhler of St. Peter, who is. well up in arithmetic, physics, physiology, agriculture, algebra and geometry; Supt. C. W. Van Cleve of Barnesville, iwhose specialties are civics and history; Miss Eva W. Brady of Fer- gus Falls, who makes a specialty of English, besides teaching drawing, physical culture and writing. Miss L. Louise Spencer of Coleraine will Bemidji bas been selected as the | SUMMER SCHOOL FOR SIX 'WEEKS WILL BE HELD HERE A. P. Ritchie, Superintendent of Bemidji Schools, Has Been Named by State Superintendent Schulz as Con- ductor.—Three Counties Will Combine. “I would suggest that before mak- ing a definite assignment of the sub- jects for the various instructors, you confer with the county superintend- dnts named, so as to learn what sub- jects and work they desire to have undertaken this year. In his appli- cation for a school, Mr. Stewart indicated a preference for special work in the following order: (1) model training, (2) industrial work, (3) agriculture, with, possibly draw- ing and domestic science. “All of those to be in attendence who have not taught at least eigh- teen months will be expected to take the primary and model work, as well as all others enrolled, unless excused by the county superintend- ents and yourself. “You and Mr. Stewart and the other superintendents wiil be advised later as to the appointment of a special instructor each in agriculture and sewing. During the time these two lines are carried on, every stu- dent should be enrolled in one or the other class, unless for some special reason, excused by you and the county superintendents. “Last year all training school stu- dents were required to take up work in reading. The department sug- gests that this year that work be continued and be combined with oral and written excercises in com- position, also that a part of the periods so taken up (say, fifteen minutes thrice a week) to be devoted to spelling. e A “suggestive outline of the special lines of study to be pursued, and treating of the general organi- zation and conduct of the training schools, will be published about April 15. Meanwhile, I mail you the syllabus of the 1909 training school for Beltrami county. Please return it to the office when you have be your primary teacher.
