They have pigs and chickens and I have never known of the poor farm being in better condition than it is at the present time, “There are seven men at the poor farm, who are dependent upou the city for support. “The farm work has been done un- der the supervision of Mayor Parker and Alderman John Moberg, who have made frequent trips to the poor | farm, and considerable credit is due both for the condition of the crops, which were put in and cared for by | Mr. Carlton.” Alderman Bailey was asked as to what boarders were staying at the poor farm, to which question he re- plied: Says Council Has Been Deceived. “It looks as though the matter has been misrepresented to the council.

Plans are fast being perfected which will assure plenty of amuse- ment for the Beltrami county fair, September 13, 14 and 15, at the ex- hibition which will be one of the most noteworthy ever held in this part of the state. Secretary A. P. Richie has an- nounced the appointment of Charles Schroeder and August Jarchow as his assistants to assist him with the Beltrami exhibit at the state fair. These two men assisted Mr. Mack- enzie, who had the display in charge last year, and are therefore particu- larly well fitted for the place. These to Arrange Entertainment. ‘While the entertainment commit- ‘tee composed of A. P. White, Al Jes- ter and F. S.

REFERRED TO ATTORNEY @ Must Write to Him for Papers Given Over to Safe Keeping of Chief Execative. SAYS NEW STEP IS TO BE TAKEN Comes to Bemidji From Puposky and is in Consultation With Coun- ty Attorney. Viggo Peterson, chairman of the Beltrami board of county commis- sioners, who on July 17, sent & writ- return certain affidavits filed with a petition requesting the removal of Sheriff Hazen, has received an an- swer to that communication, but not from the governor. Mr. Wheelock Writes. The letter to Mr. Peterson is from Ralph W. Wheelock, secretary to the governor, and reads as follows: “Mr. Viggo Peterson, “Puposky, Minn. “Dear Sir: “Replying to your letter of recent date, received in the temporary ab- sence of Governor Eberhart, I beg to advise you that your request will have to be made to the Attorney Gen- eral, in whose hands all the papers in the case of A. B. Hazen are still held. “Very truly yours, . “Ralph W. Wheelock, “Secretary to the Governor.” Mr. Peterson came to Bemidjl from Puposky this morning and frankly admitted that his mission was on the Hazen matter. He has been in consultation today with County Attorney Graham M. Tor- rance. Peterson to Act. Mr. Peterson authorized this defi- nite announcement: “I shall take further action in my charges against Sheriff Hazen in the near future.” Disgusted as Mr. Peterson is with what he terms “baby play” at the state capitol, he is emphatic in his assertion that by no means will Mr. Hazen be cheated out of a chance to prove his innocence, if he can, before a proper tribunal. : Mr. Peterson was amazed at the communication from Mr. Wheelock. First, because of the delay in ac- knowledging the receipt of so im- portant a request, and second, be- cause the governor would permit such important documents to leave his hands and make no attempt to Tecover them. Blames the Governor. Mr. Peterson says he trusted the petition and affidavits to Governor Eberhart and that he feels that official should be held responsible for their return. However, Mr. Peterson, acting up- on the suggestion of Mr. Wheelock, has addressed a letter to the Attor- ney General, .who although he has had the petition since May 27 has been unable to draw up an opinion as to their legality, demanding that he return the affidavits. ‘While the county chairman would like to use the affidavits, should the attorney general fail to return them, it will make no difference, says Mr. Peterson, with the plans he has un- der way to proceed against the sher- iff. It is currently reported and mot denied by Mr. Peterson that he pro- poses to begin criminal proceedings against Mr. Hazen.
