HAROLD J. DANE, Editor. NORMAN HELMER. Norman Helmer needs no introduc- tion to the readers of the Pioneer who live in Beltrami county. To those who live elsewhere it ‘might be said that he had lived in this county for many years and was always known as a quiet, agreeable, fearless man. Wherever his duties led him, either as policeman or deputy sheriff, he made friends and left pleasant mem- ories. Norman Helmer died as he lived— fearless. He took his medicine game- ly and the boys with him never heard a whimper nor saw a coward- THIS DATE IN HISTORY. 1631—John Dryden, poet laureate of England, born.

It is hard to realize that Helmer will never again be seen on the streets of Bemidji. His quiet man- ner and word of cheer for all will be missed. There is no one to take his place. It is hard to believe that the man who walked down Beltrami av- enue yesterday afternoon at 4:30 in the best of health and spirits, giving his acquaintances a pleasant word, is His death is a direct blow to all those who knew now lying in his coffin. him. Norman Helmer was a credit to Be- midji and the north country. a resident of this county many years and before affiliating himself with the sheriff's office was a member of He was the Bemidji city police force: In all of his years of semi-public life, he carried himself with an ease that in- spired confidence. Never was a word of unkind criticism ever attached to him or his work. Without a doubt Helmer was one of the most popular Beltrami county officials. His deputy sheriff took him into all parts of the county on dangerous businesg but ev- position as erywhere he went he made friends and left favorable impressions. It has been but a little over one year since he was a member of the posse sent to Puposky to get members of the Dumas’ gang and his bravery at that Lattle was such that he was after- wards loudly praised by his compan- ions. By the death of Norman Helmer, Beltrami county has lost a faithful and efficient servant whose position will be hard to fill. His friends have Jost @ companion known for his opt- imism and good cheer. The city of Bemidji has lost a citizen whose mem- ory it will honor in the days to come.

EASTERN MILITIA NOW IN WAR GAME (Continued from first page.) and 2nd regiments of cavalry. The “Red” or invading army will be un- der the command of Major General Frederick A. Smith, now in command of the Department of Missouri. The primary object of the maneuver be- ing the instruction of the organized militia, a large number of officers of the regular army have been detailed to act as observers, umpires and in- structors of the militia taking part in the war game. Each organization of the militia of the size of a bat- talion will have at least one regular officer as instructor during the whole campaign. The entire campaign has been plan- ned with a view to giving all the organizations taking part an oppor- tunity for reconnaissance work, scouting and contact with the enemy. The troops will be kept busy every day, making and breaking camp, marching, skirmishing, reconnoiter- ing, etc., and the task will not be an easy one in view of the fact that the line of attack will be unusually long, extending practically from the south- ern line of Massachusetts to New York City. Presumably the less densely settled portions of the state of Connecticut will form the princi- pal seat of the imaginary war. Am- ple provisions have been made for the feeding of the troops in the field and ambulance, signal and hospital corps will accompany both armies through their various operations in the field, as they naturally would in case of an actual war.
