PETITION TO SHOW CAUSE IN CLEARWATER GO. GASE New Papers Prepared in Case of Bel. trami County vs. Clearwater County. Vesterday a petition was filed in the district court setting forth the condition of affairs existing between Beltrami and Clearwater counties. This petition is accompanied b;v an order, signed by Judge Stanton, requiring the county of Clearwater to show cause at the next special term of the district court, on May 3, why a pre-emptory writ of manda- mus should not issue requiring the county of Clearwater to levy a tax upon the taxable property in that county to pay Clearwater county’s proportion of the bonded and float- ing indebtedness that was owing by the county of Beltrami at the time of the division of the territory now constituting Beltrami and Clear- water counties. The county of Clearwater was set off from Beltrami county in the fall of 1902. At that time Bel- trami county had a bonded debt of $122,000 and a floating debt of something over $53,000, and by the law Clearwater county required to levy a tax to pay a certain portion of this debt. The county has never at any time taken any stepsin the direction of payment. No legal proceedings were instituted until the last year of the term of " former county at- torney, Mr. Fnnkley. Mr. Funkley brought an action on behalf of Bel- trami against Clearwater county. A change of venue was taken in the action and a demurrer interposed to the complaint. Nothing further was done in the matter until the present county at- torney, Chester McKusick, took his office, Mr. McKusick brought the demurrer to argument before Judge Stanton. The demurrer was sus- tained by the court, upon the ground that the proceeding was not a proper proceeding and that man- damus was the only remedy. An appeal was taken from Judge Stanton’s ruling to the supreme court, and the latter court affirmed the decision of the lower court. The effect of that decision settled the question of what was the proper procedure. The petition filed by Mr. Mc- Kusick alleges that the county of Beltrami has paid out, for and on bebalf of Clearwater county, since the cieation of the latter county, nearly $15,000, and that the county of Clearwater is indebted to the county of Beltrami in that sum, with accumulated interest. It is hoped that the institution of the present mandamus _ proceedings will bring about a speedy termination of the matter, which should have been settled at the time of the division of the territory. Judge Spooner of this city, of Spooner & Brown, was the principal counsel for Clearwater county, in this case, having associated with him Oscar Stinvik of Bagely, county attorney of Clearwater county. DEVELOPMENT ASS'N WAS ORGANIZED AT BAGLEY |Sugar Beet Culture, Dairying and Potato Raising Were Boosted at Saturday’s Meeting. The convention which was held at Bagley last Saturday was ome of the most important gatherings of farmers and business men ever held in Clearwater county, accord. ing to reports of those who were there; and much good will result from the discussion of the subjects of dairying, pure seed, sugar beet industry, and the organization of the Clearwater County Develop- ment association, which will be associated with the Northern Min- nesota Development association. In the forenoon, the subject of dairying was very ably handled by 1. O. Dybevick, special dairy and food inspector, who gave the crowd some very valuable «pointers” on the dairying in- dustry, which is being extensively pursued in Clearwater county. These resolutions favored reap: portionment, consolidated schools, drainage, larger legislative appropri- ations for the use of the commission of immigration, and also for exten- sion of the agricultural work of the Agricultural College at St. Anthony Park. There were some excellent ad- dresses; and the following were chosen as the first officers of the Clearwater County Development association: President, A. L. Gor- don, Shevlin; first vice president, T. K. Berglund, Teckla; second vice president, H. Western, Alida; secre- tary, L. Nelson, Bagley; treasurer, H. J. Holty, Gonvick. In the afternoon, the Clearwater County Development association was organized. Some sixty author- ized delegates were present from different parts of the county. A. L. Gordon of Shevlin called the meeting to order, in a few well- chosen words. E. H. Reff and A. Kaiser of Bagley and I. A. Krohn of Shevlin formed the resolutions committee, and the resolutions which they formulated were adopted. E. W. Smith of Parkers Prairie, Minn.,, an expert on potatoes, delivered an interesting address on potatoes. Al H. Jester of Bemidji, secretary of the Bemidji Commercial club, ad- dressed the meeting on the matter of sugar beet culture and the possi- bility of securing a beet sugar factory for Bemidji. Mr. Jester told what the Bemidji Commercial club, the Shippers’ association and others had accom- plished in the matter of securing an emergency rate for shipment of beets to the factory at Chaska for demonstratian purposes for beets that could be grown in the section of country adjacent to Bemidji. The speaker gave some very in- teresting information on how to sow, cultivate and harvest sugar beets, and the best methods of engaging in the sugar beet production among the farmers. He urged co-operation of the farmers in the raising of the beets, as the establishment of a fac- tory meant the permanent and sub- stantial prosperity of this section, as the emergency rate would net to the farmers $4 per ton, f. o. b. at station; and a good market was al- ways assured. Representative J. J. Opsahl also gave an inetresting talk on sugar beet proposition, work necessary to raise the beets, the matter of ship- ment, etc.; and the crowd was very much interested.

S. J.Harvey, Secretary, Building Committee. MRS. LUCY SAYLEY. . Alleged Murderer Protected by Extra Deputy Sheriffs. MOB VIOLENGE IS FEARED Persons Accused of Killing llinois Banker Under Extra Guard. ‘Watseka, Ill, March 29.—Threats of mob violence reaching the ears of State’s Attorney Pallisard caused the greatest care being exercised when Mrs. Lucy Sayler, Dr. William R. Miller and John Grunden were taken from the jail to the courthouse, where their trial for the murder of Banker J. B. Sayler of Crescent City was re- sumed. Instead of Mrs. Sayler being escort- ed only by her daughter Golda and the wife of Sheriff Heikes a deputy sheriff joined the party. Extra deputies also accompanied Dr. Miller and Grunden. The feeling against the defendants has reached suchia point that 'W. O. Sayler, brother of the ‘slain banker, remarked that hé believed that ar: rangements had already been made for a mob to take charge of the pris- oners in case they were acquitted. The brother is bending every effort to secure the conviction of the three de- fendants and says he is confident that they will be punished. IN A SERIOUS CONDITION Cabinet Member Badly Hurt in Riot.

SPEEDY ACTION DESIRED President Particularly Solicitous About the Administration Railroad Bill and * the Postal Savings Bank Measure. ls Informed That None of His Im- portant Bills Now Before Congress le In Danger of Defeat. ‘Washington, March 29.—A caucus of the Republicans of the house is to be ealled for next week to arrange the programmes of putting through that bedy the administration measures, s was agreed upon at a conference at the White House. President Taft, who is desirous of accomplishing something as early as possible, will re- quest the Ohio Republicans in the house to take the steps to bring about a caucus, to which, it is thought, there will be no objection. The question of the caucus was taken up when Representatives Town- send and Hamilton Fish conferred with the president. Both men favored & caucus and suggested to the presi- dent that this was about the speediest Wway to secure action in a methodical manner. The same suggestion was made to the president by members of the Ohio delegation in the house. The president will ask his Ohio friends to see to the calling of the gathering. Anxlous About Railroad Bill. President Taft showed particular so- Hoitude about the interstate commerce railroad bill and the postal savings bapk bill. He was told that none of his important measures before con- gress was in danger, but there had been more or less unavoidable delay in getting them before the house. By getting together in caucus the Repub- licans will be able to map out a pro- gramme that will be comparatively easy to follow. Mr. Townsend, who has been in charge of the administration railroad bill in the house, said that his commit- tee would meet shortly and he ex- Dected to take it up at that time.” The committee has agreed upon the bill and it was only necessary to whip it into a shape and report it Mr. Townsend said he desired to pronounce as false the allegations that the president had insisted upon any certain bill or form of a bill. SOME FIND PLACES FILLED General Strikers at Philadelphia Re- turn to Work. Philadelphia, March 29.—The sym- pathetic strike in aid of the trolley- men having been officially declared off by the Central Labor union there was a general resumption of work. This was especially noticeable in the build- ing trades, operations throughout the city having been generally tied up since the sympathetic strike was be- gun March 5. All men who went out on sympa- thetic strike did not find employment when they reported, however, their places having been filled in many in- stances by nonunion workmen.

The company’s officers declare that it is slowly bring- ing its forces up to normal and say 1,400 cars we runing. In all Styles, Shapes and Sizes.
