O. Rindal, St. manager, Mr. Fielding, said: Paul conference Pinkerton after a with “I am sorry some of tne telegraph- ic reports have seemed to give ad- vance information as coming from us. We have promised nothing in advance further than to predict that something would be found in Dr. Du- mas’ safe when it was opened. We were justified in that prediction.” Mr. Fullerton admitted this morn- ing that the statement of R. E. Smyth, owner of the store at Pu- posky, as given out by Postoffice In-; spector Ormsby, was the “big noise” the prosecution was holding in re-| serve.

Reports have been sent out that Dumas is popular in his own town—that Cass Lake is That is true only of the lower element.” Mr. asked if he thought Dumas would be convicted. “That's another question,” he said. ! “I have no doubt that the grand jury | will indict him; with the grand jury the saloonkeepers would have to buy up too many of them. 1f he comes to| trial in Cass county, though, he won't | be convicted. The saloon men will have things fixed and will buy up every man if necessary. They are standing together on this thing. The chief of police of Hibbing told me he made the rounds of the saloons of Bemidji on Wednesday night, the night of the conference in the Lar- son saloon, and that he was con- vinced there were one hundred crooks in town. He mentioned six or seven of them.” The Cass Lake Times, Mayor Du- mas’ home paper, has this to say: standing up for him. Ormsby was Home Paper Reserves Judgment. | We do not care to discuss the sit- uation in regard to the case against Dr. Dumas at the present time; the time is not ripe for an intelligent opinion and too much has been said and published about the case, much of it too sensational to be fairly con- sidered and from the proceedings so far it would seem that the authori- ties were out for manufacturing public sympathy rather than for the detection of crime. Our people are patient and willing to submit to any decigion in the case that is based up- {URGES BEMIDJI TIMBER PARK Declares There Were 100 Crooks| —_— ' on facts and the law, but we do ob- ject to the methods adopted of send- ing out to the world as facts that many of our prominent men are sus- pected and will be arrested soon. If the detectives have evidence suffici- ent to convict any of our citizens it is their duty to apprehend them and! allow the country the privilege of | knowing “who is who” and what he| is accused of. It is not fair to stir up the whole country against us and lay back and refuse to act because it is deemed inexpedient to act now.

Naturally, there is some indefiniteness as to the final make- up of the force, and it is still more uncertain where each of the patrol- men will work.
