VOLUME 12, NO. 137. “%, GERMAN RIGHT ° WING FALLS BEFORE ALLIES American Press.) Paris, Oct. 5.—Northern flanking movement continues. Allied armies are constantly being reinforced, and are steadily extending their lines north beyond Aries. By sheer force of numbers they are pushing the Ger- man right wing steadily eastward. Every anempt‘ot the Germans to break through in the neighborhood of Roye and Lassigny has failed. were defeated along the river Nie- men. They have reinforcements just inside the Russian frontier and are endeavoring to resume offensive. Iighting is also in progress along Polish frontier, where the Russians are delivering a series of attacks on the German entrenched positions. London, Oct. 5.—The allies have been obliged to give ground at cer- tain points on western side of the bat- tle line. This was announced in a statement issued by the French war office. Announcement in brief con- tained only additional information that the battle continues with great violence to the north of river Oise, without a decisive result and that there is no change on the remainder of front. London, Oct. In regard to the battle of the Aisne, now in its twen- ty-second day, there is only one point on which the French and German offi- cial reports agree, and that is that General von Kluck, the German com- mander, still is moving northward, though at snail's pace, and that he is so powerful that General Joffre ,the French commander, has been obliged to admit that the German general has been able to make a French detach- ment debouching from Arras fall back. KFurther south, in the neighborhood of Roye, according to the German staff, the French have been dislodged trom their positions, but the French official statement declares all German assaults there were shattered. Again the Germans assert they have fought their way southward and have made substantial advances in the Ar- gonne district. The French counter this by declaring they have made progress -there. At the far eastern end of the line, around the River Meuse, the French say they have driven the last German back across the river, and the Germans assert they have defeated all French sttacks in that quarter. Germans Renew Attacks. Paris advices say the Germans, af- ter having tried in vain to break the strong line of the allies, first at Tracy-le-mont and then at Roye, have renewed their fierce attacks between the latter city and the region of the Ar Their latest efforts, however, are said to have had no better results. Each side thus is furnishing the news it wants to hear. For the neu- tral observer the only certainty is that these intermitte. ) conflicts along the immense line furnish only a se- ries of small cumulative results, which gradually lead in a given direc- tion and to an outcome which will duly be determined when the present process of attrition completes its course. The allies continue to pour in their troops at points where they are need- ed to replace those worn out by the hard fighting or to fill the gaps in the ranks. Paris advices indicate that the Indian troops who arrived in Mar- seilles recently either are at the front or in its vicinity. They have greatly strengthened the French line, which is estimated at 750,000 men. Walked Across Country. Ernie Bougeois arrived in from Kelliher yesterday, having walked across country. He states that he can walk dry shod from Be- midji. to Baudette; with the excep- tion of seven miles on ditch 20, and it is being rushed at the rate of a mile a week.—Baudette Region. town Will Attend Funeral.

A few minutes later “Fuzz” Johnson, the sturdy Bemidii fullback, broke through the Crookston line and after a spurt of 40 yards placed the pigskin beneath the: uprlghts for an- other touchdown. Harry Wolfe, at end, playing his first year of high Schosl football, played sensationally on‘both offense and defense, and his run of 45 yards after taking a forward pass, was one of the features of the contest. John- son played a strong gamé and Bailey at right half-time after time ripped through the opposing tackles for sub- stantial gains. Tanner:at quarter directed the play well and his work had much to do with the large score. He scored once, after a run of 35 vards.

That the adoption of number 9, the state forests amendment, will create splendid home markets for the farmers of Mlnnesota,\?a the message of Dean Woods, of the department of agriculture. The Ninth amendment for state forests provides' for the establish- ment of properly managed permanent state forests on untillable state lands. Treat Like Crop. “The adoption. of this amend- ment,” says Dean Woods, “will com- pel us-to treat the small remainder of our forests like a crop and not like a2 mine. The forests will be cut in such a manner as to provide fro reforestration. They will be harvest- ed and reseeded, revenue will be per- manent. If the untillable forest lands are sold as the present laws impose, the forests will be cut down by private interests with no thought for reforestration. Under forest management these forests will be perpetual. Steady labor is required, permanent homes will be established and thriving communities will spring up. Our farm lands employ many men. Our forest lands can be made to do likewise. Germany employes steadily one laborer for every hundred acres of forest land. Splendid Markets. “The men and horses will need food. Thousands of dollars worth of meat, vegetables, hay, grain, and supplies will be needed the year round. ‘This will create splendid home markets. It will give nearby agricultural settlements a conven- ient outlet for their produce. Good roads are meeded and will be built in the development of permanent forests. The development of pros- perous communities will be hastened "“In" aadition ‘these state forests will be financially profitable and as two-thirds of the acres affected by this ammendment are timbered, reve- nue will be immediate and the for- ests will be self-sustaining from the beginning. > “No. 9, the State Forest Ammend- ment stands for good business. Not to vote at all is to vote against this measure. Remember this. November 3rd.” ' HOLD FUNERAL TUESDAY Burial Services for 0. C.

Al- vord, will preach the sermon. Mr. Simonson, who during _the past six years has been a resident of Bemidji, being connected with the Beltrami Milling and Elevator com- pany, had been ill since last Febru- ary with a complication of diseases, and a paralytic stroke a week ago hastened his death. He is survived by his widow, and four children, two daughters, Mae and Helen, and two sons, Leo and Sidney. Until last February Mr. Simonson attended to his duties with the ele- vator company, having charge of the range territory of that concern.

OFFICIALS ARE TRICKED Deer River Police Jail Lumberjack at Request of Man Representing Him- self as Bemidji Deputy. MARKHAM ROBBER WAS CLAIM Members of the Bemidji police de- partment and deputies of the sheriff’s office were jubilant Saturday even- ing because of a report that the man who held up the Markham hotel clerk Friday morning, had been placed un- der arrest at Deer River and would b& ) ghr. to.Bemidji on the early tra) Q" As the train rolled &nto the BE- midji station Sunday morning fifty persons, including traveling men, po- lice and others interested, watched eagerly for sight of the bold high- wayman. They were doomed to dls- appointment for there was no Deer River police nor was there any roh- ber. Strange as it was the police retain- ed the opinion that their man was being held at Deer River or that the police of that city had taken him to St. Paul where a bandit answering to the exact description is wanted for an attempted robbery and the shoot- ing of two policemen a week ago, one of whom has since died. A reward of $500 is offered, at St. Paul. But ‘yesterday forenoon the real truth became known and a telephone message to Deer River officlals brought out the fact that the man be- ing held there in jail, was a luraber- jack, arrested by a man who claimed to be a deputy sheriff from Bemidji and who insisted that his victim was the Markham hotel 'bandit. The “deputy sheriff” has not been seen since Saturday evening and $38 which he took from his prisoner :s missing also. The alleged deputy gave his name as Murphy and all day Saturday im- personated an officer and late in the evening told Bemidji officials over the phone that he had found more than $200 on the lumberjack and that he was without question the man wanted, answering in every de- tail the description. In fact he did not possess one single likeness of the bandit. It was a good joke and the conse- quence was a trip to Deer River by a Bemidji deputy and two warrants for the fakir, one for larceny and the other for impersonating an officer of the law, were sworn out. .The public roads of the United States total about 2,225,000 miles in length, or more than the highways of ROBBERY MOTIVE OF BAGLEY MURDER Body of Joe Melette Found on Tracks of Great Northern - Railroad ~ Early Sunday Morning. MIX BLOOD INDIAN SOUGHT Blow on Head by Blunt Instrument Believed to Have Cost Life of Wandering Veterinary Surgeon Foul play is believed to have caused the death of Joe Melette, a wandering semi-professional veterin- ary surgeon, whose body was found lying on the Great Northern right-of- way just east of Ebro, early Sunday morning by a boy who was walking the track between Bagley and that place. Melette is well known by old- timers in the isolated portions northern Minnesota. In Company With An Indian. Melette was last seen Saturday evening, when in company with a mixed-blood Indian, he started from Bagley to Lengby. Both had been drinking and were under the influ- ence of liquor. Struck on Head. Judging from the appearance of the wound found on the top of Me- lette’s head, he was struck either by a blunt instrument, or by an engine while lying on the track asleep. The remains were taken to Bagley by the coroner and an attempt is being made to inform relatives of the affair. Had Large Roll of Bills. Parties who met Melette on Sat- urday evening are suspicious of foul play, for the reason, they claim, that when they saw him he had quite a large rqll of bills and when his re- mains were found, only $1.50 in sil- ver was found on his body. The mat- ter is to be investigated by Clearwa- ter county authorities. Three in Five Years. This is the third time that remains of persons that have been either kill- 2 ed or murdered, have been found on the Great Northern right-of-way in that locality -during the past five years, of ~DANCE-COMMITTEES NAMED, Firemen’s Ball to Be Feature Event . of Social Season.
