GASS LAKE INDIANS DRINK GIDER OR LEMON EXTRAGT Thirst for Alcohol Has to be Satis- fied in Some Way—Agents Warn Salesmen. Cass Lake, August 17—(Special to the Pioneer)—Two Indians were arrested here today having been found in a drunken condition on the streets. When questioned as to where they procured their intoxic- ants they stated they had not drank anything, meaning beer or whiskey, but finally confessed that they had imbibed in “hard cider” at a local confectionery store. Investigation proved that the owners of the store had been having a “run” on cider the past few days, which was some- thing unusual as cider was not a very popular drink. A small barrel usually lasts a long time “improving with age’ according to the discovery by Indians made here. One big “buck” after making several calls during the day was noticed to be “feeling good” and meeting a fellow brave who was on his way to the store remarked “No more cider; all gone.” Being unable to procure whiskey in saloons, the Indians have resorted to other means to satisfy their thirst for something strong by procuring substitutes. For a time they made calls on gracery stores for lemon ex- tract which they claimed was to be used in making cake. This was something unusual as cake among Indians is supposed to be somewhat of a “curiosity,” and undoubtedly those who obtained the extract used it for a different purpose. The pur- chasing of the extract was generally left to the “‘squaw” in order to ward off suspicion. On several occasions Indians have been seen in a drunken state and when arrested it was learned that they had become so by indulging in lemon extract, partly filled bottles being found in their possession, which contained a goodly per cent of alcohol. The proprietors of all stores were notified personally by agents of the Indian department to cease selling the extracts to Indians, which they did. The latest discovery by the Red men caused much surprise here as it was not believed possible to be- come intoxicated by drinking the cider which has always been on sale at confectionery stores, but they evidently ran across a brand that suited their tastes and ex- hausted the supply today. Itis needless to state that the brands of cider tu be sold from now on will be examined before sales are made to Indians. What Prominent Men Think of H.W. Alsop’s Gandidacy for County Auditor. Moorhead, Minn., July 30, 1910. ‘To " Whom it may concern: Mr. Henry W. Alsop of Black- duck, Beltrami Co., Minn., is person- ally well konown to the writer, hav- ing known him for a great many years. Mr. Alsop was for a number of years Deputy County Auditor of Clay County, Minn., and is thorough- ly familiar with the duties of a County Auditor, is an expert book- keeper and accountant and a good penman. He is strickly honest and reliable and at various times has been entrusted with responsible work in the various offices of this County, baving acted in the capacity as Deputy County Treasurer,. Deputy Clerk of Court, and Abstractor, in Register of Deeds office, as well as Deputy County Auditor for a number of_ years as first mentioned. I'take pleasure in recommending Mr. Alsop, and know that he will make a very capable and efficiennt County Auditor for which office I understood he is a candidate for nomination at the coming primary election, I will further state that Mr. Alsop worked with me in this office and taught myself and predecessor the duties and familiarized us with the ok of s ofce when we enerea| IRY TERRITORY SALOONS | WEATHER TODAY, upon the duties of the some. q ALLOWED AN EXTRA MONTH Tewperature Yours respectfully, A.

Up to this time the liquor dealers in this city have been awaiting the action of Secretary Ballinger of the Interior department in the matter, thinking perhaps that he would re- voke the order or modify it. Tne dispatch referred to states that a large number of protests against the order have been received from the people all over the territory affected, and that the most of these protests have been received from Moorhead. This word from the head of the In- terior department is what Moorhead liquor dealers have been waiting for, as the final decision in the matter rested with the department. This postponement of the order gives local saloonkeepers a few less than sixty days to get rid of their stocks, or at least in which to get them out ‘| of the country.

Bagley, August, 18—(Special to Pioneer)—Most of the time Wednes- day forenoon in the Warren-Kolb ‘case was spent in examining M. J. Kolb on cross examination and from the evidence given it appears that a number of instructions have taken place between him and the plaintiff, Mr. Warren, which all go to make up a long chain of evidence reach- ing back as far as 1906. Mr. Warren took the witness stand about noon and occupied it all of the afternoon. His statements and the defendant’s, Mr. Kolb’s, coincide in a great many instances but it looks as though the jury would earn its money by the time the case is tried, there being some conflicting evidence. As a rule both parties think they are telling the truth in their statements made on the witness stand. A short time was occupied in the examination of Oscar Barness, one of defendant’s witnesses, under the statute. Mr. Warren will again take the stand this morning. Nearly every lady in Bagley has been pres- ent in the interest of hearing this case tried and from the appearance it looks much like a woman’s audi- ence. Never before has so much. interest been manifested in any case tried at this place. The Warren-Kolb case i§ attract- ing much attention in ‘the vicinity of Whhe Earth and Bagley. War- renis part Indian, enough to get anallotment. About two years ago, he sold the timber on it to Kolb and received a little over $14,000 forit. He alleges that Kolb induced him to place this money in Kolb’s bank so that Kolb could control it. Warren was induced to invest his money in a telephone plant and later sunk quite a bit more which belonged to his wife and others. Kolb also loaned him $6,000 and took a mortgage on the plant* - Warren could not pay the mortgage and suddenly found himself without any property. He alleges that Kolb induced him to make the purchase so that he could get the money, and that Kolb induced the Warrens into through this part pf the country have a private lgreement that e\m:h manager notify the towns ahead of the class of any show that plays in his theatre. In this way, they plan to weed out the bad shows by tell- ing the towns ahead that they are bad and so cutting down their patronage. Manager Carson received the fol- lowing telegram from the Little Falls manager this mormng, “A Bachelor’s Honeymoon played here last night. Good company and de- serve good patronage. Consider it the best farce comedy ever played in the house. Boost the show.” ‘The St. Cloud Journal Press has the following to say of the show: “A well filled house greeted the presentation of the Bachelor's Honeymoon at the Davidson theatre Sunday evening and judg- ing from the hearty laughter and the frequent applause the audience was ‘well pleased. There were many amusisg situations in -the plot and the sad plight of poor Mr. Bachelor wha jumped from one. trouble into another, was the cause for such amusement. *Miss Isabell Gaulke, whose stage name is Miss Gilbert, and who played the part of onme of the Bachelor twins, is a sister of William Gaulke of this clty. Miss Gaulke is a' very charming young lady and although playing 'a minor part handled - ber lines well and was applauded by the audience.” tonight will be |m'nsh=d ‘Bagley society with a view to in- creasing their hold on them, Warren says that a little more than a year ago, he was worth over $20,000 while today he has practi- cally nothing and Kolb has the greater part of his fortune. Spooner and Brown, of Bemidji, are in Bag- ley and with Thomas Keefe are taking up the case with Kolb. As much of the testimony is ex- pected to deal with society relations, many ladies are attending the trial." There has been some talk of settling the case out of court, but if testi- mony is taken, those who are fami- liar with the case say some interest- ing bits will be disclosed. Cleopatra Tonight.
