Beltrami County. Three men are suspected of killing. I. O. Dahl, whose body was found buried under a balsam. tree near his house at Quiring. One is Eugene Colwell, who. discovered the body. One of the other mon is a French- man and is said to be a former con- wict who served a term at Stillwater, and is an all-around bad man. It is thought by some that Dahl’s daugater Miss Aagot,. is still alive and. been kept in custody by the Frenchman. An Indian who lives near Quiring Says that a short time after the dis. appearauce vf the pair. he met two men, driving a team of grays and. accompained by a young woman, who is supposed to have been Miss: Dahil. Itzis claimed, that ene of the these tuen was Colwell and the other was the Frenchman. he Indian recog- nized the team as belonging to,Col- well. From this ib is drawn that Colwell and the Frenchman kid- napped.the girl and the Frenchinan has forced Miss Dahl to live with him ever since the date: Imediate- ly after the disappearance of the Dahls, a man by the name of Westby more familiarly known in the neigh- borhoed as “Shorty,” disappeared and indications point to his being implicated in the killing. Sheriff Bailey. aud a posse “have gone to Quiring to arrest the three suspects. ai? J. P. Sims, the retired lumberman and old frend of Deer River, dame up from Minneapolis Wednesday ‘ on private business ofa few hours. Mr. Sims is looking younger and healthy as a rosebud, which his friends were pleased to note, and it made him feel good to meet the old-timers. ‘Mr. ‘terest in the newly organized ltasca satlroad.—ttasea News.. jew does not claim to have any in- infield was decidedly off. color and at critical points went all to pieces, ck entered into nearly all the plays ead aboutever ground ball that was batted at our intieid went as. it Jdge Huson’s cannon’hdd given iba st:~* and not to be satisfied with comittt speedy they would start off at an angle that was sure to reduce the tielding averages cousiderably. also take judicial notice that some of the heavy hitters bad sand in their eyes, or too small a bat we are nob certain which, possibly both. At that the official score showed. one more hit than the visitors got. but as the hits were about all made by two Gertz boys and could not bat but once in each time around they were wasted. We see the finish of the team if they do not change their ways in the Hibbing game, but as they are always strongest against the miners itis a good safe notion that Hibbing, will have no walkaway. Foot Ball. s The foot ball team held their tirst meeting and elected Ed. Herschback captain and Henry Ranfranz manag- er. The material here cannot be surpassed by any town of twice the size aud they play well together, judging from last seasvn's record,, and as.about all the men are back, it is a good safe thing to go by. Lb is early as-yet but not too early Lo start things going and get the people worked up to the fact that there is a foot ball team, here: It is to be hoped that the boys with a notion for foot ball will turn out and try for the team and even. if they dv not make it they.can give the first eam the most valuable kind of practice, in fact it is almost absolutely neces-. sary to have’ a team to play agzinst in order to get inshape. It is just us well to remember that only eleven ‘men can play at one time and if ne one is injured someone will have to warm the bench, which is no dis- grace asit is no sign thata man is no player just because he is on the ‘bench, as Witness the universities the country over, more especially. Minnesota,. because 1t 1s the nearest. Ab this institution they have a second team that can take the place of the team used in tbe games and do very near as good work and are just as much thought of. The program of a banquet held by the Gazette gang of Reno, Nevada, in which the name of Fred J. Stevens appears as one of the orators, has been received by the Herald-Review.

Early last Monday morning: 2 fire occu red at Nashwauk im which three lives were lost. M. D. Kerr, Charles Chessler and Rose Kelly were the Victims. Wm. Reynolds and a woman with whom he lived are now in jail charged with the commission of the crime. The News Tribune gives the follow- ing story of the fire as related to them by their correspondent. ‘The verdict of the coroner’s jury called to investigate and inquire into the cause of the deaths of M. D. Kerr, Charles Chessler and Rose Kelly, who lost their lives here early Monday morning, by the burning of a honse of ill-regute at the cutskirts of the village, was that the parties met death from suffocation and burns caused by a fire set. with criminal in- vent by William Reynolds and other persons now unknown. The jury which was composed of T. R. Dodsen, James Hays, W. A. Gor- don; Matt Amundson, Eric Johnson and W. A. Kiley, was in session all day yesterday aud did not complete its labors until after 10 o’ciock last night. Under direction of George H. Spear, of Grand Rapids, prosecuting attorney of Itasca county, in which county Nashwauk is located, a most searching. investigation was conduct- ed, and the authorities are contident ,they have in charge the man guilty of the crime. Dr. George D, A. Rus- We | sell, county coroner, and Timothy Mahan, deputy sheriff of Grand. Rap- ids, aud W. S. Ryder, undertaker of Hibbing, assisted. uke county attorney in searching the ruins of the build- ing, and in remuving the bones of the burned peuple. Cuunty Attorney Spear soon after the burning, and after hurriedly looking into the affair caused the arrest of William Rey- nolds, proprietor of.another house of ill-repute. William. McCune, a musi- ;cian at the place, and ‘Theodore Neff, ‘the bartender, and. two others, who were subsequently released. ‘The re- sult of the investigation by the coruner’s jury warranted the holding of Reynolds aud his woman, known. “Chicago. Mag,’? and they were- taken by way,of Hibbing this morn- ing to the county jail at Graud Rap- ids, where they will be held usttl the ‘date set for the preliminary hearing »which. will follow the examination Joseph Garrison in township 64.north, of range 2: ‘Theodore Neff, the bar- tender, is also held, and is now in the jail here. The evidence brought against Rey- nolds.was that at the time of his-ap- prehension, shortly after the burning of the building. his clothing was wet, asif. be had passed theough under- brush holding moisture from the-re- cent raiu. His hat was damp and thereon were found a number of bal- sam needles and fragments of leaves, Fsuch as. might have been gathered from a trip between his place and the burned building shortly after a rain storm;. a gasoline can, with wet leaves attached,. was also found, aud ‘tracks leading from. Reynolds’ place to the: burned building and back were found. ‘The inmates of Rey- nolds place teil confiicting stories. The woman “Chicago May,” declared before the jury that Reynolds was not out of the house-at any time dure ing the nighi of the tive, while others stated that he left the house ababout 3.0’clock aud they did nut see bim return. It is thought that Neff, while not directly implicated in the crime, knows more tnan he has yet told of the affair, and it is even hinted here, that when the time comes he will tell all he knows. The house which was burned was built a year ago, and was a fraine structure covered on the outside with tar paper. Foratime the place was conducted by aman named McGuire, whe last fall- closed, it up; and it was vacant until, Jast week, when Ruse Kelly. and her sister Meda Kelly took possession and re-oponed it, and it is alleged that when Reynolds heard of the place starting up he remarked that it would not last long. Rey- nolds, who is a new. man here. re- cently rented from Theodore Neff the place he was running at the time of, his arrest. All that remained of those who lost their lives in the fire were sent to Hibbing by Undertaker Ryder, where the funeral will be held, Chess lar has two brothers, employed ono the Drake & Stratton work at the Stevenson mine, and they will give their erring brother decent burial at Hibbing?’ The incident has caused consider- able feeling here auc it is more likely the village authorities will close up the Reynolds place and drive the people outof.the county. arrived | ANOTHER NEW | Split , Vauce. .. TOWNSITE. Reishus-Remer Land Company to Ptat- New.Townsite of Jesse Lake. Few people appreciate how im- Rortant to the material interests of Itasca county will be the eonstruc- tion of the Minneapolis & Rainy River railway from the Flour City to Canada. The proposed route wilt be almost direct from Mirneapolis to the Canadian border. Articles of in- corporation have been filed with the secretury of state, as reported by the Heraid Review last week. The in- corporators are Charles H. Hickey, of Muskegon, Mien., Fred A. Bill, of Minneapolis, auditor and stockholder of the Etasca Lumber company; H. C Akeley. the Minneapolis Lumberman Wm. I. Joyce, of Chicago, a stock- holder in the Itasea Lumber com> pany, and F. C. Gerard. also a stock- helder and superintendent in the same company. Running northwest from Deer River this road is already constructed a distance of forty-two miles, and the substantial road bed. heavy raits- and complete equipment indicated from the first that the men behind tbe enterprise had; in contemplation. the extension that is now assured. The Reishus-Remer Land company haye appreciated the commercial possibilities of the north country and have kept in’ mind the fact that ul- timately a tailroad would be con- structed through the rich agricul- tural district that stretches away for a hundred miles to the vorth. The: holdings of this company in Jesse Lake tuwnship are large and among the most valuable agricultural lands in the entire county. Seventeen miles northwest of Deer River the company has determined to plat a townsite. Jesse Lake townsite is already well settled with a prosperous elass of farmers and theira vigorous yillage will spring into existance as it by magic. The new townsite will be located on section 25. town 59, range The road is now built to within one mile of Wirth postoflice ,on the Big Kork river, twenty-two miles northwest fromthe new town- site. The new town. will be. three miles from Turtle lake and 18 located in the very center of the richest agri- cultural, meadow and grazing lands to be fuund in the country.
