PLANT ON EAST LAKE SHORE 3Will Be Located on Twenty Acres Between the Crookston and the Bemidji Mills. TO EMPLOY MANY HANDS Those in Touch With Management * Say Between 200 and 300 Men Will Be Used. Ground will be brokeu for the new box and crating factory on the east shore of Lake Bemidji within the nert two weeks, according to the » statements of those in close touch " with the company. During the first part of this week surveyors were busy laying out ¢ the grounds and staking oif the building lots. The « three acres of land that were to have Been obtained from the Minnesota and Internaticnal have been secured so that the full twenty acres are now available. i Those who have seen the plans of the buildings to be erected say that! they will be made of steel and con- crete and tuilt to last. The owners ' yof the plant believe that material for their use will be available long after the Crookston and Bemidji mills have ceased to operate so that they do not look upon. their invest- ment as temporary. The buildings are to be placed near the shore of the lake between the * . Crookston and Bemidji mills and with the grounds, will occupy the full twenty acres available.

BEDBUG SEASON =, OPENS Salesman Springs 0ld One and Con- = nects Local Drug Store With Story. “MY ADS DON'T LIE,” BARKER. TR g - Say, Mr., have you any stuff that * _ will kill tedbugs?” i “Yes, but bedbugs aren't ripe yet.” “I know, but I want to lay for 'ema before they get ripe.” “Well sir, we can fix you out in » first class shape, we make the stuff i that kills ’em. Tere’s some sure kill powder that will do the work if anything will.” “Are the directions -m it?” “No, but I'll tell you just how to go about il to kill the bug. Take a very small spoon, dip into the powder, fi'ling just thz tip of the spoon, caich the bug, pry open it’s * meuth and empty the contents into *it. Then hold it’s mouth shut until he has swallowed. The bug will surely die.” “Yes, I see,” said the customer, “but I should think a fellow after ke has caught the bug couid just take and step on it.” “Yes,,” replied the clerk, ,& good way too.” A traveiing salesman swears that this conversation took place at the Barker Drug Store of this city. be- tween one of the clerks and a cus- » tomer, but the general belief is that it’s one of Sam Cohen’s get off’s. When Mr. Barker was asked about the truth of the story, he stated that he would spring something about bed bugs in the very near future, that would interest every house wife in Bemidji as well as some of the room- ers. He makes the strong claim that his ads nover lie and in this issue + may be found forceful arguments + that bear him out in this statement. “that’s + N BASEBALL The box score of Ameri- can Associlationgames will be posted on the Ploneer bulletin hoard, corner Fourth and Beltrami, each day as fast as they come iIn by telegraph.

Minnesota Faculty Refuses to Leave the Blg Elght Organization. Minneapolis, Minn., May 3.—The faculty committee on athletics at the University of Minnesota in session yesterday afternoon decided that Minnesota should remain in the west- ern athletic conference. This prac- tically gettles the question, and puts a stop/ to the agitation which has been aktrscting the atteuntion of the and friends of the univer- sity for several years. This action is bound to meet with a grgat deal of criticism and disap- pointment, not only among the stud- ents(but among all followers of uni- versity sports. The students see no other way out. A football team can- not |be arganized’ under the present eliglbility ‘hules . ‘and football will meet the fate of b eball. Further- moye, what there is ‘about athletics thgt demands diplomacy and secrecy is peyond comprehension, say the students.

" DUMAS APPEAL UP T0 SUPREME COURT From Judge M¢Clenalian Who Tried Case: Here. FINAL POINT TO BE TESTED If Defense is Sustained, He: Will Go Free; If Not, Will: Be Remand- ed for Séntence.. JURY VERDICT. OF GUILTY Brought In One Hour and: Twenty Minutes "After:the: Men: Had Retised. ———— On Wednesday, May 15,, the state supreme court is scheduled: to. take up the appeal of Dr. D. F. Dumas. ta that court from the. district court. Dr. Dumas 18 appealing on. the ground that the indiciment charged arson in the third degree:and. that the evi- dence showed that Dr. Dumas did not attempt tc burn. the building. At present he is out bn.bonds of $10,000 in this case. On the decision: of the: supreme court will depend whether or not Pr. Dumas will have.io sperd: a term in the peniteniary: for: the Puposky of- fense. 1f the supreme court decides in favor of the.defendant, he will be allowed to go. free;; if it decides in favor of the state, then: Dumas wili ‘|'be brought bg[ore:.rndge MecClenahan for sentence. for, arson. in: the third degree, coamonly ‘called attempted arson. He has.been: found guilty of attempted srson-hut the appeal is be- ing taken on a peint: of law. Dr. Dumas. was: found: guilty by a Beltrami county: jury after it had been out one. hour and twenty min- utes. The specifie: charge on: which he was convicied' was of arson in the third degree, and: when seem after the trial, one:of the jurymen stated that at no time was therc a doubt in the mind:cf the jury but that the offense had been commitied. After the state had rested its case and ‘before:- ihe defense rresented any evidence, counsel for the defense moved: to discharge the prisoner on the. ground that the offense as charged in the indictment had not been proved. In commeating on the motion, Judge McClenahan said that although he saw the logic of Judge Spooner’s orgument, and that if it were a crvi, case he would grant the motion, yet he did mot wish to as- sume the responsibitity of annihi- lating all that the state had done when the state had no recourse in appeal and that he would threrefore deny the motion. The trizi them proceeded and the conviction resulted. Dr. Dumas was allowed his Hberty under heavy bond and the ease certified to the su- preme court for a decision on the point invoived. Dr. Dumas appears quite sure that he will win the ap- peal from the. fact that Judge Mec- Clenahan said that had it been a civ- il case, ne would have granted the motion. Refuse to Leave ‘Teddy.
