— VoL. XVI.—No, 16. WM PEAIGTON WN, ANDERSON One Arrested for Killing and Other Arrested for Selling Moose. GONVICTIONS IN BOTH CASES Perrington Pleaded Guilty to Hav- ing Killed One Moose—Anderson Had Jury Trial and Found Guilty — Fifty Dollars and Costs. Deputy Game Wardens’ Harry and Seamans did quite a_ stroke of business yesterday in the presence of Executive Agent Avery of the state game and fish commission and quite a large audience of curicus spectators in Justice Bailey’s court. On warrants sworn out by the depu- ties, Sheriff Hoolihan arrested Wm. Perrington of Grand Rapids and Wm. Andersoniof Pokegama lake on charges of having violated the game laws. It as alleged that Perrington shot one northeast of Prairie lake and had disposed of a portion of the meat tu Anderson. Under the law the pur- chaser of contraband game or fish is equally guilty with the original of- fender. Charles Wright, who lives on the north shore of Ice lake, was also arrested for having a portion of the Grand Rapids Herald-Revie Granp Rapips, Irasca CounTY, MINN., Wepnespay, OCTOBER 7, 1908. Same moose meat in his possession. He will have a hearing before Justice Huson on the 16th. The evidence agains both Perrington and Anderson was pretty conclusive, but at first {they both declared their intention of putting up a fight. At the last moment, however, Perrington con- cluded to plead guilty. A fine of $50 and costs$78.40in all—was imposed by the court. Anderson stood pat and bad a jury trial. After being out about four hours a verdict of guilty was returned. Justice Bailey im- posed the same fine, which amounted in all to $103.83. It was reported this morning that Mr. Anderson would appeal the case. Prosecuting Attor- ney Thwing appeared for the state aod Frank F. Price for the defendents. T. T. RILEY, Nashwauk, Republican Nominee for Sheriff An adjourned session of the district court will couvene today, with Judge McClenahan, presiding.

HONOR ABANDONDED In Its Desperation to Elect County) Commissioners That Will Con- tribute to Its Sustenance the Opposition is Vil- lainously Assailed. Past experiences appear to be of no benefit to the little guerrilla who has nominal control of the Independent. and who allows the big guerrillas to write its politics and dictate its policies. In the past he has not hesi- tated to slander the characters of the most honorable men in ltasca county. simply because he knew they he'd him in supreme contempt. He cannot hope to succesfully seek favor of in- telligent and honest men who know him and areacquainted with his dast- ardly methods. Village and county administrations have changed many times since the adventof this unbal- anced creature to Itasca county, yet he finds favor with no party, or class of men. Republican or Democrat, Soc- ialist or Prohibitionist, all look with the same feeling of distrust and dis: GOSSS SSCS SOOSS 0000 00SSSSSS COSCCOCOCOCSCOCOCOOOOS SHOSOSOOOS $ Friday - Saturday $ # With Every SI.

His past meth- ods have invariable brought disaster to the ends which he sought to gain. He craves to feed from the public trough. This is his sole and whole ambition. To satiate his voracious appetite he would destroy the good name of every manly man and every womanly woman in Minnesota. Minus every element of honor himself he is unable to know that honor exist in the hearts and souls of other men. He is also Unable to appreciate the fact that the methods which he has employed in the past have been the cause of his undoing, and hence he still pursues them, even to a more desperate degree than heretvfore. The “County Campaign Resume” and ‘‘Beware of King and Taylor” rot that appeared in the last issue of the Independent should be read between the lines, if read at all. The Inde- pendent is uncertain as to some candi- dates who have opposition and only uses words and sentences that have no bearing upon the case what- ever. In commenting on the county attorneyship candidacy it says in sub- stance that Mr. Bither, the Republi- can nominee, may be all right, in fact some people openly declare he is all right and areal lawyer. The Inde- pendent has it from Mr. Bither him- self that he 1s all right. But the In- dependent is not quite sure of it, “being practically an unknown quan- tity so far as his professional career is concerned.” No objection is of- fered to Mr. Price, the Democratic nominee, except that he is too well known throughout the county. Between John A. Brown and W. E. Martin, the Republican and Demo- cratic candidates, respectively, for the office of county Surveyor, the In- dependent is very uncertain — no choice. Perhaps both these gentle- men have thoughtlessly overlooked the Independent in the matter of a little ‘‘swag.” C. M. KING, Deer River Democratic Nominee: for Commis- sioner, First District. But when it comes to the county commissioner proposition, there’s where the little guerrilla gets hungry fur public pie and in a frenzy of vo- raciousness undertakes to destroy all opposition with an attack on Com- missioners O’Brien, Mullins and King. These public officials are characterized as belonging to “the gang”—whatever that may mean. In- sinuation after insinuation is made, but oo direct charges preferred. They are tacitly charged with being public pilferers, but not in direct language. The Independent dare not dothis. The little guerrilla has been told the consequences of libel by his master, Jingo George. The op- ponents of these three gentlemen, ac- cording to the Independent, are all bigh minded patriots, who would suf- fer to be drawn and quartered rather than even ‘‘steal away from bad com- pany.” J, D. McDonald, better known as ‘\Jack-the-Horse,” of Deer River, will do, provided Magnuson fails. Anything but King. But Magnuson is sure the “Candy Kid.” He’s lilly white; pure as star fire; nothing quite so innocent and simple was ever before allowed to get beyond the cradle without wings. The fore- going eulogium applies with equal force to Wm. Welte, who is pitted against Morris O’Brien in the Second district; likewise to Peanut Jim the Dago, who wishes to retain his graft on the board and defeat Neal Mul- lins in the Fourth. Of Messrs Welte and Magnuson we know but very little. It is likely, however, that they are good citizens who believe themselves endowed by nature with all the attributes required to make excellent county legislators.” But we do know Jim Passard, and we know him to bea man in every way dis- qualified to represent this important district. He has been permitted to hold a seat on the board in the past through the almost criminal negli- gence fof the voters themselves. Throughout the year he looses no op- portunity to impress upon the credu- lous bis own honesty and the dishon- | esty of the other members. Like Tone, he of Koochiching notoriety, Passard is a snake in the grass at all times and under all circumstances. Nobody in opposition haa paid much attention to him, aad two years ago he succeeded in defeating B. C. Fin- negan, a man admirably equipped in every way to render the county mer- itous service. Passard wants to be commissioner fur what money there is in it—this fact he has frankly ad- mitted to the editor of the Herald- Review. The salary and mileage that attaches | to the office is all that Passard cares fur. Whenever he takes any action on the board it is with a view to cur- tying favor with some particular ele- ment of his constituents and placing himself io a position that will enable him to misrepresent his colleagues. Asa sample of Passard’s ‘‘unselfish- ness,” it need only be noted that the money appropriated by the board | during the past two years for im- | FRANK F. PRICE, Grand Rapids Democratic Nominee for County Attorney. provement of the Prairie River road was largely expended in front of his own premises where he could haul gravel from his own pit at so much per haul. The sand hill some dis- tance beyond, where work has always been badly needed, is sti!l neglected. There are many reasons yet to pre- sent why Jim Passard should not be retained on the board and the Herald- Review will see to it that the facts are made known in time for action. The Independent says that ‘O’Bri- en’s career Ou the board has been far from clean and his constituents are next to him.” The Herald-Review dares the Independent tu point to and prove a single unclean or dis- honest act of which Morris O’Brien has ever been guilty since he has been a member of the board. If the Independent fails to do this it must stand before the public as a_villifier, a slanderer, a common liar, a char- | latan. | A like argument is directed against Mr. Mullins. It says: r. Mullins who is opposed to Mr. P ard, is a member of the “rin which has dominated county affairs for the past three or four years. His record is a part of the county record and can be seen by anyone who will take the tronble to iook it up. In nvmerous MORRIS O’BRIEN, Cohasset Democratic Nominee for Commis- sioner, Second District. places it will not bear too cluse in- spection.” Why dosen’t the Inde- pendent get this awful record and publish it? Itis the duty of every newspaper to expose corruption in public place wherever it may be found. We defy the Independent to show from the records or elsewhere a single corrupt or dishonest act charge- able to Neil Mullins. STATE TAX, _ LEVY LOWER State Auditor Iverson Sends Out Notices of Levy. The state tax levy for 1908 was made public last Thursday by State Auditor Iyerson, and the one pleasing feature for those who foot the bill is that the rate shows a reduction under that of last year. The rate is 3.33 mills, as against 3:48 in 1907, Notices of the levy were sent to every county auditor in the state with instructions to extend the same | classed and the HANDED THEM A LARGE LEMON Grand Rapids High School Wallops Bemidji 21 to 0 Saturday The high school football season was opened here Saturday afternoon by a game between Bemidji and the local boys. The game was delayed for some time by a senseless and foolish argument and did not start unti! 4 o’clock. : The two teams lined up as follows: Bemidji Position Grand Rapids A.Brenneman center W. Reusswig Kreatz right guard Sissler Kruse (Capt.) right end Blood Boyer left guard McLellan Humdrom left tackle E. Tuel Staoton left end McAlpjne Huffman quarterback King Gill right half Lofberg C. Gould left half Frazer Lycan fullback . Meyers Brandon, D. Gould and subs. | Grove, Reus- McDonald ; swig and Ro- mans. Tuel kicked off for Grand Rapids and sent the ball over the Bemidji goal line. One of the Bemidji players attempted to carry it out but was forced back over his own goal line there making a safety and scoring two points for the locals. The ball was brought out to the Bemidji 25 yard line and kicked to Grand Rapids who by a series of line smashes and end runs carried it to within striking distance of the Be- midji goal where it was carried over by Frazer. Lofberg failed to kick goal. Two more touch downs fol- lowed in rapid succession. One as the result of a series of line smashes Meyers carring the ball over, and the other scored by McLellan who ob- tained the ball on a fumble and ran forty yard to the Bemidji goal. No goals’ were kicked and the half NEIL MULLINS, La Prairie Democratic Nominee for Commis- sioner, Fourth District. ended with the score 17 to 0 in favor of the home team. The Grand Rapids boys knew at the end of the first half that they had the game safely won and devoted the second half to practicing new plays. This accounts for the small score of that half. The only scoring in the second half was done by Meyers who negotiated a drop-kick from the Bemidji 25 yard line. The final score Bemidji 0 Grand Rapids 21. The game was an exciting one from start to finish and the teams are yery evenly matched as to weight, Grand Rapids probably being slightly heavier, but the visitors were out- superior work of the locals was apparent from the start. The officials were impartial and there was a total absence of wrang- ling throughout the game. Thornton of Bemidji and Patterson of Grand Rapids alternated as referee and um» pire, while Peterson of Bemidji acted as field judge aod George Meyers of the Rapids as head linesman. A delightful banquet was prepared at the hizh school building for the visitors and the home team and was enjoyed by about fifty people after which the evening was spent in a reception and dancing in the gym- nasium. Bemidji as usual proved themselves good loosers and are a tine bunch of young gentlemen. without delay. The levy in detail is as follows: Soldiers relief fund, .0001; funding tax, .0002; state revenue, -0016; road and bridges, .00005; state school tax, .00123. The total assessed valuation of the state for the year 1907, after deducting the $100 exemption for each person assessed was $1,048.000. For the year 1908, as returned by the county boards of equalization, the total assessment is: Personal property, 189,650,436; real property, %903,980,029; total, 1,093,630,465.
