The attormey for Schmidt urged jthat under the law, the Clearwater ihotel license would mnot expire until April 20. The state was represented by County Attorney McGlennon, of Clearwater. Judge Stanton held that the license was annulled by op- eration of the law as soon as the vote against license was declared and af- firmed the judgment of Justice Ble- gen. : Mr. Schmidt will therefore either pay the fine or serve the thirty éays, and the two saloons at Bagley will probably quit business at once. MORE SETTLERS COME IN James Sheets and family, D. W. Sheets and family, Albert Paddock and family, and C. M. Powell and family, all from Frankfort, Indiana, arrived in Bemidji today and wilk leave at once for their farms in the town of Helga, Hubbard county.

For some time past it has been under- stood by the creditors that theé com- pany was unstable but as some of i the wholesale houses continued car- rying the accounts, Fortunately, none of the Bermid)! butks have any State Lumbet ¢ompany paper. ~ Attorbeys for the creditors went t6* Qéminel last week and as near as they co6uld ledrn, the liabilities of the com- paily will amount to several times the assets. Outside of the large ac- counts to the wholesale houses, the firm is said to owe thousands of dol- lars on ‘Daper which has been cash- jed, moré to lumber firms for uncom- pleted contracts and hundreds to in- dividuals in or near Gemmel. “William Ross, onhe of the firm of ‘the State Lumber company and who was its active head, left Gemmet March 6 by driving to Northome and taking the train there. Investigators have learned that the firm owes about $3,5600 to laborers who have been working this winter and who are un~ paid; that it owes about $1,100 to‘the camp cook; $100 to a depot agent; $300 to a'saloon man and hundreds more in odds and ends. It has also been learned that for several months - the cor- poration flew . a kite” Detween five or six banks and the post- office. Those who have figured’ the exchange on the checks and mon- ey orders say that the kite cost aboyt ten per cent a month of the credit™ realized. The kite was flown by pur- chasing money erders on Minneapolis with checks on one bank, mailing out the money orders as deposits, and then re-checking on the second or jthird bank. e B, It Is said that the kite wag so ac- curately figured that the flyérs knew on just what mails checks would ar- rive In the different banks. The kite was broken two-or three months age when two banks got to comparing notes over the phone and each found that checks from the other had been deposited when neither had cash with which to back them. 3 The company is in the logging bus- iness and has been getting out tim- ber for Kaye and Carter at Hines, the and Brooks, the National Pole and Tie company, and ' several smaller concerns. It is said that money has been advanced on these contracts and the creditors are now in trouble over the logs and lumber which has been cut. .
