They were unable to proceed to Bemidji, The train pulled into Cass Lake forty minutes late and will not ar-: rive in Bemidji-until -nearly four o’clock. The special was laid out by a long freight which put it behind its schedule somewhat. The following men and women are with the train: Mrs. Margaret Bak- er and Miss Mary Bull, College of Agriculture; Miss Ellen - Stearns, Minnesota Public Library Commis- sion; Mr. and Mrs. A. J. McGaire, Grand Rapids; N. E. Chapman, St. Paul; F. B. McLaren, Renshaw; W. A. McKerrow, St. Paul; George How- ard, St. Paul; Phil Gordonm, State Agricultural College; C. H.

Brown, Elk River; Charles Nelson, Litchfield; Ray Speer, State Agri- cultural College; and F. B. Cleland, St. Paul. Eighteen traveling agriculturalists and eighteen Bemidji business men will 8it down to .the above banquet at the High school this evening at 6 o’clock. The Bemidji men will en- tertain the others as their guests and the banquet will be prepared by the girls of the high school cooking class under the direction of their instruc- tor, Miss Beatrice Eddy. The ban- quet will be served by high school girls. Owing to the lack of accommoda- tions in the High school, it was nec- essary to limit the number to thirty- six and as the visitors will number eighteen, each will have one Bemid- ji man as host. At noon today the names of the men and women who will come on the special could mnot be learned but the Bemidji guests will be Messrs. Nelson, Dyer, Baer, Schumaker, George, Arnold, McCann, Brooks, Dane, Lycan, White, Lakin, Torrance, Burke, Wedge, Bowser, Gould and Ervin. The special is due in Bemidji at 3 o’clock this afterneon. Professor Dyer tried several times yesterday to get in touch with the train to find out if President Vincent and Dean Woods will be on board. It was un- derstood by the Commercial club that they would be with the train two days this week but the phone mes- sage simply stated that there were eighteen men and women on the train and mentioned no names. Following the banquet at the ‘High school, the men will be taken to the Commercial club rooms where other members of the club will be given an opportunity to meet them. Entertainment will be provided by means of an informal smoker .to ‘which all men of Bemidji interested in seeing this community made a better farming center are invited. The train will not leave here until © 9 a. m. Sunday morning so that the Russell-Miller M|I| in Mm"' neapolis Burning This Afternoon (Special by Long Distance). Minneapolis, Nov. 9.—Fire broke out in the Occident mill of the Rus- sell-Miller Milling company here about 2 o'clock this afternoon.

The mill ran nearly thirty-|j three weeks and the lumber sawed was a little more than that sawed in 1911. Most of the men will leave at once for the woods and the others will be employed in the mill dur- ing the winter. The planing mill will be operated for several months. During the winter, an addition is to be built on the north end of the mill. This will house saws which will cut the logs in half as they come out of the laks.

No report was received from KEugene; Lake- wood cast six votes'in the Republi- ] can and Democratic primaries; and Zipple cast eighteen, one half being cast for the Socialists. At present it looks as though it would be up to these four towns to elect the register of deeds with the chances equal for efther man. The fight between Moon and Harris is the chief topic on the streets to- day. Before the election, Mr. Moon stated that he did not feel at all sure of election while Mr. Harris = appeared confident that he was safe. Early returns showed that Harris had a supposedly safe lead but this ° = was gradually cut down as the re- turns came in from the outlying dis- | tricts. At press time today those =i who have been watching the vote de- clared that Moon’s chances were bet- ter than Harris'.

John Neil, the only other prisoner in the jail, told the story of the raid on the jail, and the dragging forth of the prisoner to his death. “I was awakened by loud sounds downstairs,” -says Neil. “ I heard someone pounding and arose to find out what: was wrong.
