DUMAS HELD TO GRAND JURY Mayor of Cass Lake Bound Over on Charges of Arson and Robbery. Yeggman State Witness. Following a preliminary examina- tion at Bemidji Dr. D. F. Dumas, mayor of Cass Lake, held on charges of attempted arson and robbery in connection with an alleged plot to burn the postoftice building at Pu- posky, eighteen miles north of Be- midji, on June 17, was bound over by Court Commissioner H. A. Simons to await the action of the grand jury. His bail bond was fixed at $10,000, which was furnished by Fred Dumas of Minneapolis, father of the defend- ant. The grand jury does not meet until the second Tuesday in September. The state’s star witness was Martin Behan, caught at Puposky while in the act of robbing the store, as the result of a trap laid by Pinkerton detectives. Behan was wounded at the time and his condition is still serious. He had to be assisted to the witness stand. ! He made the flat statement that Dr. Dumas and R. E, Smyth, owner of the Puposky building, had planned with him and Mike Davis to rob and burn the store, for which Behan and Davis were to receive $300. Assistant Attorney General Alexan- der Janes, who conducted the case for the state, said he never had seen a witness tell a more convincing story than did Behan. On the other hand Judge Spooner, chief counsel for the defendant, put Behan through a grilling cross-exami- nation and caused him to make weak assertions and answer so hesitatingly some of his testimony that the de fendant’s attorney improved the op- portunity to insinuate the possibility that Behan has been coached in his confession. Only five witnesses were examined. Behan was the first and he was fol- lowed by John Larson, owner of the saloon where it is alleged the robbery plans were made. C. B. Battles, a Be- midji hardware man, told of selling Dr. Dumas a revolver. Carl Swedberg, clerk in the Puposky store, identified Behan as one of the men who came to the store on the afternoon of the robbery and William Munhall closed the testimony by telling of a conver- sation over the telephone with Dr. Dumas in which Dumas asked as to the whereabouts of Behan. EXPLOSION IN BOATHOUSE Two Young Men Drown Trying to Es- cape Flames, An explosion and fire in a boat- house on Long lake, a resort near Ely, resulted fatally for two young men, while three companions were badly burned. The victims were drowned when they jumped into six feet: of water to escape from the flames. The dead are: George Johnson, aged twenty-two years, single, a bartender; Lawrence Williams, aged twenty-two years, sin- gle, a buttermaker. Child Shoots Baby Brother. Dale Watkins, four years of age, shot and instantly killed his two-year- old brother in the cabin of their father, William Watkins, a settler at Day’s High Landing, Itasca county. The boy found the rifle standing in a corner of the cabin. The father was absent at the time and the children were alone with their mother. The coroner decided that it was merely a case of leaving dangerous weapons within reach of a child and did not fix any blame. BEHAN RELEASED ON BAIL CHEW OF TOBACCO IS FATAL Reward for Turning State’s Evidence Captain Durage, Who Fought Under Against Dr. Dumas. Eight Flags, Chokes to Death. Captain Jules Durage, a civil, me chanical and mining engineer, a sok | dier of fortune who fought under eight ' flags, including the Stars and Stripea and who had been several times wound- | ed and had escaped many perils by land jand sea, died from the effects of a chew of tobacco that he got in his | }throat and could not dislodge, near Pour Pore siding, sixty miles from Du luth, at the age of seventy-three. He died fully dressed and on the greensward as befitted a man of his adventurous character and experience. The captain, who also had the title of major, was an Indian fighter in the Black Hills in the early seventies and in 1880 was a well known military fig- ure in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Martin Behan, captured in the bat- tle of Puposky on the morning of June 17, has been released from the county | jail at Bemidji on a bond signed by his wife and J. B. Meyer. The arraignment of Behan was ar- ‘ranged by Fire Marshal Charles E. | Keller. The bail bonds were passed upon by Thayer Bailey, who appeared for the state, and were accepted by ' Court Commissioner Simons, before whom the proceedings were held. Behan, who is in the last stages of | consumption, will be taken to Wiscon- sin by his wife and sister. It is generally understood that his | Telease at this time is, in a measure, a reward for naving turned state’s evi- dence, which implicated Dr. Dumas at the preliminary hearing of the may- or of Cass Lake when he was bound over to await the action of the grand j jury under bonds of $10,000. Persons | representing the state do not deny this.

DOG GUARDS MASTER'S BODY Has to Be Killed Before Corpse Can Be Touched. The traditional faith of the dog for its master was never better exemplt fied than at a lumber camp at Breva- tor, this state, when a dog guarded the dead body of its master so zeal ously that nobody dared to approach the body until the animal had been shot. Maurice Trentell and his dog had occupied the camp and the man lay dead on ‘he floor when a chance passer looked in. The dog was on guard and the man went away for as sistance. With others he returned and no amount of strategy or coaxing could get the animal to leave the side of its dead master.
