BLACKDUGK IS CLOSED; 4 ARRESTS MADE HERE Bemidji and Solway Men Arranged on Charges of Having Brought Liquor into Dry Zone “PUSSYFOOT” HAS DISAPPEARED Before Dropping out of Sight, Says Trip North Was Success and Talks of Breweries. Four men in Bemidji arraigred on charges of having introduced liquor into the restricted territory, the closing of the saloons at Blackduck, and the disappearance of ‘‘Pussy- foot” Johnson are the developments of the goverament’s liquor crusade during the past twenty-four hours. The men arrested here were Fred Dudley, Robert Mahan, Louis An- derson, all of Bemidji and Michael Wold of Solway. Wold was ar- raigned this afternoon and the other three yesterday afternoon. All were brought before Federal Court Commissioner H. A. Simons, Each waived examination and was bound over to await the action of federal grand jury at Fergus Falls when it convenes the first week in February. Bail in each case was fixed at %500, which in every instance was furnished and the prisoner given his liberty. The charge against each man was the sams; that he had brought liquor into the dry zone, contrary to the treaty of 1855. Dudley & Mahan and Anderson had tbeir places closed and sup- plies destroyed not long ago. The complaints were sworn out by United States District Attorney J. M. Dickie of St. Paul, and weére signed by Special Agent T. E. Brents. The arrests here were made by United States Deputy Marshall Frank Tufft of Long Prairie. The closing of the Blackduck sa- loons was the first work today of the agents working out of here. Reports also were received that they were closing the saloons of Funkley and Kelliber but this was not confirmed. The Bemidji saloons are still open which results in much speculation as to what length of time “shortly” may mean with ‘“‘Pussyfoot” Johnson, who, when he came to Bemidji Mon- day, used that word in designating how long the saloons here might ex- | pect to continue. “Pussyfoot” has dropped out of sight. The Pioneer’s St. Paul cor- respondent today said that every effort on the part of the Twin City newspapers to locate him since he left Minneapolis Tuesday night had failed. Before leaving the cities he had this to say of his visit to Bemidji: “The treatment accorded me on my trip to Bemidji was satisfactory. It goes to show that the citizens know ‘where they are at.’ Asked regarding his attitude to- ward the breweries in the district he is stirring up, he said: “There are three: one at Be midji, another at Perham, and still another at Brainerd. For the present they will be unmolested. I cannot tell you what I think of them, Maybe they come under the treaty of 1855 and maybg they don’t. I have to look up the law, and that is' a big undertaking. There will be no discrimination if I find they are not allowed on the ground. It I close one of them the three will close at the same time.” ' provisions of the Indian| FARMERS TO HEAR EXPERTS Successful Tillers of Soil to Talk at Coming Institutes The series of practical Farmers’ Institutes arranged for northern Minuesota will cover two weeks in December, These Institutes will be held as follows: Bemidji, Monday and Tuesday Dec. 5 and 6. * Wilton, Wednesday Dec. 7.

The deer have been bigeer and hardier in many in- stances than the big game generally ‘found in this immediate district, and Records of Great Northern Express c;,m. ‘hunters have inferred from this fact pany Show Season Just Closed Successful One 2,000 TOTAL NUMBER KILLED Forest Fires Believed to Have Been Re- sponsible For Abundance of Big Game. Of the 2,000 deer and moose slaughtered in Minnesota during the big game season which came to a close at sundown last night, hunters out of Bemidji killed more than 300, The records of the Great Northern Express company here show that up to today 274 deer and 17 moose have been shipped out of Bemidji. There remains five days in which animals killed during the open sea- son may be shipped, so that the total shipments for the year will approximate 300. In addition to this must be added the unknown number of deer and moose killed and consumed at home. How many may have been eaten in Bemidji as the result of the skill of local hunters can not be stated. There have been few fatalities dur- ing the season, despite the fact that it hasbeen one of the most sqggggs- ful in the history of big game hunt: ing in the big natural game preserve region of northern Minnesota. In the neighborhood of 2,000 li- censes were issued to hunters. - With so many hunters in the woods, it has been surprising that there have not been more tatalities. One reason given by hunters for that deer and moose from the more northerly regions have been driven | south. GITY DRUG STORE MOVES | New Styie Fixtares Make it Most Mod- ern Apothecary Shop in State. i The City Drug store has moved from its old quarters on Third stree* to its fine new modern brick build- ing on Beltrami avenue between Third and Fourth. New fixtures have been installed throughout and it is now-probably the most modern drug store in the state. Its pleas- ing appearance is causing much comment upon the beaixty of its ar- rangement. s The feature of the new store is the modern method of display. The show cases are of the latest design. They line both walls and all open from the outside, thus giving the customer a chance to inspect the goods on display. Polished Tennessee marble forms the base of the cases., The drug cabinets are plate glass and finished with hardwood. The scheme of economy in display for the convenience of buyersis even carried o the prescription case, which instead of having the time worn plate glass front is a gorge- ous plate glass show case arrange- ‘ment, filled with druggist sun- dries. In the center of the store show cases filled with high grade candies and perfumes in pretty bottles add their share to the general beauty of the store. - NDS REAPPORTIONMENT Thrills Great Gatl{ering at Brainerd By Declaring Party and Members are Pledgeql and That Extra Session Will Be Called if Bill Fails. BEMIDJI REFERRED TO AS. “BEST OF BOOSTERS.’” Mackenzie Given Credit for Organizing Development As- sociation—Diplomatic Move Probably Prevents Introduction of Any Liquor Resolution, (BY E. H. DENU.) Brainerd, Mian., Dec. 1—"'If such a thing is possible that reapportion- ment did not pass at the next session, then, I tell you now, that I shall call an extra session to pass such a bill.” With this as the climax of the greatest speech of his political career, Governor Adolph Eberhart today .set the thousand delegates crowded into the Brainerd opera house wild with enthusiasm, genera- ting a storm of appla_use which caus- ed the windows to rattle. The governor’s address was the big feature of an auspicious opening of the two days conventiony of the Northern Minnesota'§Development association. The attendancelexceeds all expectations. Nearly allthe state officials here as well as practically every member of the legislature from the thirty two northern counties and maay from southern districts. The first session was held at 10 4. m. when President Maxfield called the gathering to order and following the invocation by Rev. J. R. Allen an address of welcome was delivered by C. A. Allbright, president of the Crow Wing Development association. Mr. Allbright held Bemidji up as “the best boosting town of northern V% ;.‘ PLANS DEVElop,y OF COURSE THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS. . //, Drawn by Handy for Duluth News Tribune and reprinted by courtesy of that paper... \ -~ Minnesota” and paid W. R. Mac~ kenzie of Bemidji, secretary of the association a high tribute as an in- defatigable worker for the north country and “the manto whom be- longs the honor of organizing the Development association.” Governor Eberhart followed. He talked not more than thirty minutes but every second of the time he was on his feet was spent in a defense for northern Minnesota and as a champion for reapportionment. The governor outlined reappor- tionment, using the 1910 census to show how the state should be appor- tioned" He said the next legislature must do it. 'He said; “I am pot here for the north or :the south—I am here as a Minne- sotan.. If anyone studied the latest census figures and does not think that we need-reapportionment, be had better study elsewhere. “It is only justice. It must come, and come at the next session. No action can afford to take the re® sponsibility to even make an effort to defeat it.. It has failed at other sessions, but it must not fail at this. I cannot place the blame tor failure in other sessions exactly where it belongs. “The Republican party must stand by its platform and no repre- sentative can afford to break the sacred pledge he has made to the people of the state. It would be a reflection upon the integrity of the party and the members to even prolong the reap- portionment bill to an extra session. “I will use all influence I rightly can to effect the passage of the bill. Representation must be based on population. I can see no argument against reapport- ionment; only this, and that amounts to nothing: It will leg- islate some out of office. It is bound to come anyway, and it is better that it comes at once. We must do something. If such a thing is possible that reapportion- ment did not pass in the next ses- sion, I will call an extra session. We must keep our population. We must do> something to en- eourage farming. More will come from agriculural development than any other resources,” By a diplomatic move on the part of F. J. McPartlin of International Falls, the convention practically shut off any possible unpleasant discus- sion which might follow the intro- duction of a resolution calling upon congress to annul the Indian treat- ies uader which the Indian bureau is closing saloons. John M. Carl of the White Earth Indian reservation is here and it has been reported that he came for the express purpose of having such a . |resolution introduced but this he vebemently denies. ' Mr. McPartlin ‘made a motion | that all resolutions be pisud upon by the resolution committe before bl 8 (Contioued on Page 81 [ e— CANNESSTh | HISTORICAL ILY PIONEER BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1, 1910.
