BEMIDJI YOUTH GETS WHISKY IN GASS LAKE Conviction of Saloonkeepers Arrested Yesterday by Agent Sero Hindges on Bell Boy’s Work. CHARLES TEDFORD ILL IN BED His Case Indefinite Because of Dipth- eria, But Others Come up Monday and Tuesday. It was a boy from Bemidji who secured the whiskey which caused the arrest of the three saloonkeepers in Cass Lake yesterday afternoon by Federal officer N. J. Sero on the charge of having sold liquor to a minor. Charles Tedford, one of the saloon men involved, is confined to his bed from a severe attack of diptheria and his residence is quarantined. The date for his case could not be set, but the case against Samuel Su- tor will come up in Cass Lake be- fore Justice Lang on Monday and of Saloonkeeper Hanson on Tuesday. Government agents became con- vinced several days ago that the Cass Lake dealers were selling to minors. Proof in such' cases is diffi- cult to obtain. It did not appear plausible that a Cass Lake boy who could get liquor would care to offer testimony. The plan of sending a lad from Be- midji was adopted and John Miller a bell boy about sixteen years old temporarily employed at the Rex hotel, was secured to visit Cass Lake and purchase liquor. This boy went to Cass. Lake and returned with several bottles of whiskey which he claims to have purchased of the dealers there, and it is upon his evidence that the government largely depends for con- viction. The Bemidji boy’s reputation is none too good. He received at least $6 from government agen*s for his Cass Lake expedition and when the nature of the trip became known to the Rex management the boy was at once discharged. However, his evidence in the Cass Lake cases is said to be conclusive. County Attorney Funck has been absent from the city for several days and when he returned today the matter was laid before him.

Crosses Continent in Search of Her Sweetheart. A very unusual circumstance was prought to light yesterday when it was discovered that Mrs. Marion Thornton the widow of.a wealthy New York banker, traveled from New Vork city to western Canada and up into the most 1naccessible parts of the Canadian wilderness in search of John Rose a former sweet- heart. Why did she do this? Wel), ten cents and and a visit to the Majestic Theatre ionight will tell you all about it, so why spoil the story by telling it here. Also a film of exceptional interest to the child- ren in the adventures cf Dolly and Jim in Chew Chew land, a very pretty little fair story that the children will delight in. A rough weather courtship is another very funny and interesting film, and the entire program is such that it cannot fail to please even the most exacting lover of the moving picture.

H, Whelan, SNOW HURT FOUTBALL BAME Able to Score. The Grand Rapids bigh school football eleven played the local championship aspirants to a stand still yesterday afternoon on the Fair grounds gridiron, the contest result- ing in a 0-0 score. As the Bemidji pigskin warriors defeated the Rapid boys, earlier in the season, at Grand Rapids, to the tune of 21.9, they ar- rived in the city determined to *‘come back” by handing the locals the same dose- The weather was anything but satisfactory for fast football, there being nearly two inches of snow on the field, and making it im- possible for either eleven to show the form of which it was capable, but even with this great drawback several spectactular plays were pulled off. The second half was played with neither team gaining ad advantage, the punting game of the first period being resorted to almost entirely. For Bemidji, Captain Larson, at full; McDonald, at quarter; and Gould, at left end, played brillantly at all periods of the contest, as did Mec- Lachlan and Branndon for the Rapids. 3 The teams lined up as follows: Bemidji Position “Rapids” Gould le Graffam Moritz It Whaling Lycan lg McLennan Lepley c Tyndall Ripple b4 Garrison Chamberlain rt Radke Baily re Erskine MCDonald q Powers Peck 1h Branndon (Capt) Hendreckson fb McLachlan Larson (Capt) rh T.

ELECTION OFFICIALS GET STICKER WARNING Warnings are being sent through- out the county to judges and clerks of election that they must not handle any “stickers” for ballots or permit these slips to be distributed by any- one within 100 . feet of the voting place. HAZEN ATTAGK ON BAILEY BRINGS OUT SCORCHING REPLY Aroused by Distribution of Unsigmed Circular, Independent Candidate Lays Bare Deception FACTS RIDDLE FRAUD CHARGE Shows By Evidence That His Office Was Conducted Along the Lines of Strictest Honesty PRESENT SHERIFF IN BAD LIGHT Opponent Refuses to * Throw Mud’” But Talks of ‘“‘Homesteader Fees” and Personal Decency. Sheriff Hazen, or someone work- ing in his behalf, has caused to be issued a circular which attempts to create the impression that Thomas Bailey during his term of office received hundreds of dollars illegally. Mr, Bailey is indepen- dent candidate for sheriff. The Hazen circular is unsigned. It first wap intended for ‘‘select” pters only but its backers have become bolder and the circulars are being given a general dis- tribution. Sheriff Hazen himself spent some time yesterday after- noon on the street giving them out promiscuously. o Fear of the libel and postal laws prevents the Pioneer from te- producing the circular, of which Thomas Bailey has this to say: My attention bas been called to an unsigned circular letter, whose author evidentally desires to con- ceal his idenity, circulated either by A. B. Hazen or by some person in his behalf attacking my record as Sheriff of this county, and making certain accusations 1n regard to alleged over charges as such Sheriff. This screed is what might be ex- pected from my opponent, and would be treated with the contempt it deserves, except that it might de- ceive certain voters who. do not en~ joy a personal acqaintance with Mr. Hazen. I desire to emphatically deny that there is anything owing Bel. trami County from me, in any way whatsover, and deny that one cent was ever illegally charged by me or for me with my knowledge and intent. In a business involving the sum of about $54,000, in part necessarily conducted by deputies and clerks, it would be miraculous if no error occurred. I know that many have occurred against me. All items mentioned in the Hazen epistle are legal and legitimate, with the exception of the Henderson matter, which occured through the oversight of a clerk, and was cor- rected promptly by me upon its dis- covery. I have lived in this county thir- teen years, and still live here, and have property in sight subject to execution. There have been at least four different county attorneys, and " | many different County Boards, and It has been reported that “sticker” candidates, which means candidates whose name do not appear on the re- gular ballot but who have had slips with their name printed for distribu- tion, had expected to have -the election .officials hand out the stickers, or even attach them to the ballots. ' This would be clearly unlawful and will be prevented if possible. many Public Examiners have gome over my accounts. If there were illegal charges, the courts have been, and still are open to any taxpayer who desires to test the question, and it is hardly probable that all county commissioners, as well as all county attorneys, would have so neglected their duties as not to bring suit for [Continued on Page 8] STochg st 4_.-u,,.._.1l,“_“~._w, o}
