TWO MORE HELD ON BAUDETTE HIGHWAY ROBBERY CHARGE Two more men implicated in the highway robbery of Mike Domkiov at Baudette were brought to Bemidji last evening by George Denley, deputy. Edward Miley and James Ryan are the names of the men ac- cused and they will be held in the county jail here until the grand jury takes action on their case next month. John Libuda and Nellie Mitchell were brought to Bemidji on the same charge by Sheriff Johmson earlier in the week. It is claimed that the four men and the woman were riding in an automobile, when the 1latter was successful fin In the Beltrami county jail four Austrians are being held on the charge that they recently escaped from a Canadian internment camp, and in Kittson county there have been wholesale arrests of laborers as a result of a protest from Canada in which it is claimed that they are Austrian-Canadians and should be de- ported.
