Ste- wart was exceedingly pleased with the exceptionally fine exhibits shown by the rural schools of the county. In speaking of the display he said: “The exhibits were better and lar- ger than any previous year. The lists did not begin to cover all the varlety of work sent in and the judges desire to award suitable prizes covering the entire display. We are planning now to make ar- rangements for a school exhibit at the state fair next year. Ours com- pared favorably with any I have seen at the state exposition.” As the school exhibit list is not complete at press time the Pioneer will pub- lish the prize winners in a later is- sue.

Otto, former assistant post master in this city, now one of uncle Sam’s inspectors was one of four officers active in the trapping of a forigner, who gives his name as John Folei and who is charged with using the mails in demanding a for- feit of $4,000 from Primo Cavalco a prominent saloon keeper in Spring Valley, IIL The article appearing in the La- Salle Daily Tribune is in part as fol- lows. Through the use of a decoy pack- age, United States post office inspec- tors this morning captured John Folei, a Spring Valley man, who is charged with attempting to extort money from Primo Cavaca, a prom- inent saloon-keeper in Spring Valley, by the use of the mails. The man subsequently confessed to the author- ship and mailing of the letters, and he is now held in the Peru jail before being taken before U. S. Commission- er Foote in Streator. Cavalca has received three letters Each one of them has demanded $4,000,00 with a penalty of death if the order was not™ complied ~with within a certain period. This time limit expired this morning. Two of the letters were mailed at the La Salle post office and the third bore a Peoria post mark. When Cavalca received these let- ters he immediately consulted an at- torney, who turned the communica- tions aver to the United States postal authorities. Inspectors Assigned. To. Case The chief inspector assigned four of his men, Messrs. Otto, Husscut, Clarahan and Hadsell, to the case and they have been at work on it for the last week. FOUR DRUNKS BEFORE CROWELL All Allowed Freedom on Promise to Leave City. Tap Stewart was hailed Dbefore Judge Crowell this morning on a charge of intoxication. Stewart is an old offender and ‘to look up the number of times he has been brought into municipal court in _Bemidji would require several hours time, His sentence was suspended on the! condition that he leave the city and stay away. + Carl Vinge was tried on the same; charge but as their were no charges of disorderly conduct connected with his arrest he was allowed his free- dom. Hans Nelson, an Indian from Red Lake was arrested yesterday on a charge of intoxication, He was also tried this morning but as he refused to tell as to where he had obtained the ligugr the judge could not see fit to impose heavy sentence upon him and allowed him to return home to Red Lake in time for the Indian fair. Sever Hoff was allowed his free- dom after being tried on the same charge. These four men compose Falt - FEDERAL COURT Tudge Suspends Writé Of Habeas Corpus—Jerome. Opposes The Action WILL STAY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE Cannot Be Takm Over Line . If Governor Felker Signs Extradi- tion Papers B Littleton, N. H. Sept. 17.—Harry Kendall Thaw, fugitive from Mattea- wan, won a victory in the United States district court here when Judge Aldrich indefinitely suspended a hear- ing on a writ of habeas corpus ob- tained by the Thaw lawyers. This means that Thaw will have a federal writ to che¢k his immediate return to New York tate in the event Governor Felker ordlers his extradi- "tion after the heas o be held at Concord. i b William Travers Jerome, specially deputized to bring @bout Thaw's re- turn ‘to the asylum tried to block the postponement on the grounds that the writ had béen obtained as a matter of expediency. “What do you proposeto do then?" insisted the judge. <~ Jerome hesitated “The immediate 'question,” con- tinued the co'y:, “is; whether the pro- ceedings shall'go on or be suspended. It is the judgment of the court that a suspension would: nct’ menace the interests of either side and in view of the fact that the governor hesitates to proceed with the extradition hear- ing until the status:of this matter is assured I suspend it. It is not ad- journed but suspended and I sugest that either side notify me within six days when they are prepared to go - Thaw sat with his eyes riveted on the court. His lawyers were grin- ning. He was remanded back to the Jjoint custody of Sheriff Drew of Coos county, who arrested him after his recent deportation from Canada; ahd United States Marshal Nute. Counsel for both sides, after talk- ing with the governor by telephone, agreed that the extradition hearing would not be held until Tuesday, Sept. 23. The lawyers then went into con- ference to decide where to hold Thaw meanwhile. Marshal Nute announced that he would keep Thaw here over night. ‘Thereafter his plans for the prisoner were undecided. In an open discussion with = Mr. Jerome after announcing the suspen- sion of the hearing Judge Aldrich said that search of the statutes had failed to reveal to him any law under which a man in Thaw's position, a lunatic charged with a crime, could be ex- | tradited. WOMAN IS BURNED TO DEATH Aged Housekeeper Perishes When Residence Is Destroyed. Pine City, Minn,, Sept. 17.—Mrs. Becky Sandburg, aged sixty-nine, was burned to death by a fire which totally destroyed the home of Mike Dean. Mrs. Sandburg, who kept house for Dean, it is believed, was starting the fire with oil while Dean was out. Neighbors heard the woman scream as she ran out of the burning house. She was enveloped in flames. A wom- an wrapped an old carpet around her and she was taken to a mneigh- bor's where she died several hours Jater. Parts of her ‘body were char- the largest number of drunks which ‘have. been brought into municipal court for several weeks.

Y., Sept. 17.—Fire that destroyed the department store of the Howard Ware corporation was extinguished after it had caused a loss of about $300,000. The burned area covered an en- tire block on Main street, practically the same site that was. burned over and brought home as high as 50 ducks and chickens. by the great fire twenty years ago. Several stores and tenements were de- stroyed. but no lives were lost. 0 RED LAKE FAIR FRIDAY Says Week Set Aside By Govermor Should Be Observed By Every Man In County 'H. 8, FARM TO SELL 50 BUSHELS The following is an article yritten by Bueford E. Gile, high school agri- culturist and is considered a timely one for the farmers of this country. “We hope that every farmer in Bel- trami county will take at least one day this week and put a gunny sack under his shoulder and gather seed corn. The Governor of Minnesota has considered this subject important enough to issue a proclamation set- ting this week apart as seed corn week. It certaintly is important when we remember that good seed corn means an increase of five dollars an acre in value. “We have put Beltrami county on the map this season agriculturally by winning second place in the county exhibits at the state fair. People who know say that the corn exhibit at our county fair last week was better than ever and compares favorably with corn exhibits at the fairs in the gouth- ern counties. “Wednesday and Thursday we had about fifty of the boys and girls from the high school and 8th grade out at the school farm selecting seed corn. Many of these boys and girls never shucked an ear of corn before. We will have about fifty bushels of select | 0ut by A. L. Molander, Minnesota No. 13 seed corn for. sale next spring.” INDICATES FRENCH ALLIANCE Foreign Minister Seeks Collaboration of Spain. Paris, Sept. 17.—The French Re- view, a publication devoted to Franco- /Spanish _interests;~ publishes- an‘arti- cle by Foreign Minister Stephen Pic- kon recalling the historical associa- tion of the two countries which are so situated geographically as to per- mit close collaboration. M. Pichon appeals especially for close collaboration in Africa, where, he_says, the “task undertaken by the two countries will progress surely and rapidly, according as the collab- oration is more intimate.” STEEL CARS SAVE LIVES Coaches Containing Many Passengers Turn Over, Coatsville, “Pa., Sept. 17.—Three passengers were slightly injured near here when the three rear sleep- ing cars on the- Philadelphia night express on the Pennsylvania road left the rails and turned on to their sides. There were sixty-eight persons in the sleepers and only the fact that the train equipment was of steel prevented fatalities. The train was not running fast at the time. The wreck was due to spreading rails. FEW VIOLATE TRESPASS LAW Federal “Keep Off the Grass” Well Observed. § ‘Washington, Sept. 17.—Uncle Sam’s “keep off the grass” warning was vio- lated only 144 times in the past fiscal year, even though the warning cov- ered a territory of more then 13%,. 000,000 acres of national forcst. In announcing the record the forest service officials expressed .their satis- faction at the 'showing, awarding much credit to the stock raisers in the neighborhood of the forests for their co-operation . in enforcing the law. Vi MRS. EVANS PLEADS GUILTY Slayer of Dr. E. L. Moore in Court at Sioux Falls. Sioux Falls, S. D, Sept. 17.—Mrs Mae Evans, charged with the murder of Dr: E. L. Moore, state veterinarian, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in th2 first degree. . Mrs. Evans shot and killed Dr. Moore and attempted to take her own life May 26. Beinidji ‘With Bemidji day at the Red Lake Indian Fair but two days away many Bemidji business men and their wives have already signified there inten- tion of going to the big celebration on this day. . The Chippewa Indian Band of twenty five pieces arrived in Bemidji this afternoon and paraded the up- town streets playing stirring musie. John Morrison the Red Lake mer- chant met the band in the city this afternoon and arranged for this spec- ial entertainment. Special Train Service The regular train service on the |Red Lake road will be abandoned on this day and two special trains run. The following is the schedule as giv- general manager of the road.

Brinkman Starts Something Fred Brinkman of the Brinkman Theatre started something when he suggested that the Bemidji band go to the fair. No sonner said than done is Fred’s motto and away he sailed into the work. “Well, the first thing to do is to raise money,” said Fred, and a petition was at once gotten out and circulated. “T’'ll start the stunt off with $5,” said Mr. Brinkman. “I'll be number two with the same amount,” said Ike Bloosten and then Alden Remfrey leader of the band was called in and the subscription started on its way. The enthusiasm displayed in this move has set the town agoing and indications are that Bemidji will be a quiet little city next Friday, as a great many of the “Boosters” will be at Dickens Little Indian Village. “Hurrah For Bemidji ‘When John Morrison, arrived in the city from Red Lake this noon and learned that the Bemidji band was coming up to see hind Friday he cried “Hurrah for Bemidji, they're always there when it “comes to ~boosting. Here'’s a dollar for the fund to help pay for the band.” Teachers Must Come “Yes, we've got to get the teachers up there on this day.

We Owe It To Red Lake That Bemidji owes that live little village the courtesy of a rousing at- tendance at its first annual fair is the general impression of the business men of this city. They realize It 5] more than do the professional men. g They know what the business from that vicinity amounts to and wish to show their appreciation of: it. 58 Watch Indians Work Mr. Dickens has arranged a special ‘ entertainment feature for the teach- | ers of the schools and will demon- & | strate to all how beed work is done - on the reservation as well as the H s making of mats, rugs ete.

Buys House From City For $131 Ed Anderson Next High 3 F. L. Burseley, police sergeant was {58 )| the higest bidder on the Smith house which was sold by the city to the highest bidder. The house will be moved from the present location on the Normal school site one block west where Mr. Burseley will repair it and ~ continue to lease it to the present oc- 3 cupants. It appears that there are more rea- sons than one why the police ser- geant successfully out bid his rival bidders. With a view to turning in his bid Mr. Burseley questioned the street commissioner as to what he thought would be a good bid on the house. Mr. Carter immediately repli- ed that he had turned in his bid to the city clerk for $125 which he & thought would undoubtedly be the _ high bid. Burseley made out his bid accordingly and got the house. TICKETS FOR CONCERT OUT Club Members Now Disposing of Tie- kets For Entertainment. Members of the Bemidji Athletic Association have received four tic- kets each for the Shubert Symphony Orchestra which they are requested to dispose of before September 22. 5 The orchestra has been engaged to play in Bemidji on Tuesday Septem- ber 23, for the benefit of the athletic association.

The charge of admission for this en- tertainment will be fifty cents. Little Work For Firemen. = Bemidji Firemen -have been com- plaining among themselyes for the past few weeks of lack of acticity. No disastrous fires have started in Be- midji or surrounding country this summer and the proceeds received by first has hardly been sufficient to pay the dues of the order.
