Lots of people make that mistake, however, for Bray lake is only a mile from Crooked lake and many call it by the latter name. We got drunk together many a time, and one time, while I was asleep, he took the keys out of my pocket and stole $8 that was in my trunk.” He was finally led to talk about the affair and said: ‘“McDonald, Tom Fields and myself were in Nashwauk all day and of course we got drunk. When it came time to return to the shack Tom was so drunk we couldn’t get him in the wagon, so had to leave him behind. On the way out McDonald put his hand on the breast of my shirt, where I carry my watch, and I asked him what he was doing. He replied: ‘I’m buttoning your shirt Al, so you won't catch cold.’ I paid no further attention to him and did not miss the timepiece until af- ter we got home and McGuire asked ime what time it was when I woke him up. I then discovered its loss and accused McDonald. Of course, I was crazy drunk, and when he deni- ed it, I slapped him with the gun and shot a couple of times past his fiset to scare him. Affter ‘that I don’t remember a thing that happen- ed and did not know he was dead until I went out to the barn the next morning to feed the horses. “J realized then that I must have committed the deed and started for Dan McCarthy’s place on McCarthy lake, where I waited for Sheriff Ri- ley, as I dew they must have sent for him. That's all there is to it. I’ve got a lawyer and he’ll do what’ he can for me.” He said before the reporter left: “McDonald was a bad man and I think he was the fellow that burned Crooked! Jake camps about a year ago. He had to leave Wisconsin on account of something he was wanted for.” The latter statement will cause knowing ones to smile, for Kennedy was suspected of burning the camps the mentioned, which belonged to Oliver people. He will be given a prelimin-/ Yry hearing Friday morning. - F. F. Price has been engaged to defend him. LAND APPRAISERS AT WORK IN ITASCA Thomas Fitzgerald of Pine City, chief of the corps of appraisers who are placing the values on, and secur- ing data concerning, the state lands of Itasca county for State Auditor Avenson, will, from now on until the work of appraising is completed, work in northwestern Itasca county, east of Blackduck. Mr. Fitzgerald and his two associ- ate appraisers, Archie McWilliams of Nashwauk and L. G. Tydean of} Bigfork, were in Bemidji Monday says the Sentinel. They left Mon- day evening for Blackduck and from that place went out across the range line into Itasca county; and they will work south and east of Black- | cpck and from that place went out across the range line into Itasca | county; and they will work south anid east of Blackduck to Stam a point on the Minneapolis & Rainy River railroad which extends north from Deer River. “We have some 15,000 acres of state lands to appraise in Itasca county,” said Mr. Fitzgerald, “and of that amount, we have about half appraised and reported to State Auditor Iverson. [We will complete the appraisal of the entire 15,000 acres about October 1, in plenty of time for a sale of the lands in No- vember. topographical maps, and giving all possible informe: coucerning these lands.” : Reward for Rahier Murderer. County Attorney R. A. McOuat neturned from a trip to St. Paul yesterday noon. While there, Mr. McOuat obtained the promise from Governor Eberhart that a reward of $300 would be offered by the state for the capture of the murderer of George Rahier, who was killed near Bigfork July 19. Edwin Erway ts suspected of the deed. The News Tribune contained an article yester- day stating that Mr. McOuat said: | “The hand of crime is too busy in my district.” While three murders have occured in Itasca county dur- ing the past seven months, Mr. Mec- Ouat did not make any such state- ment.

Hoolihan, who was one of the heaviest shippers last year through the market association also reports the yield of potatoes on his farm ais better than ever. He raised 9,- 000 bushels last year from twenty- five acres of ground. The hay crop was better than ex- pected and ‘this is particularly grati- fying, for hay is no small item in northern Minnesota where the baled article sells for from $22 to $30 per ton. SMALL AMOUNT OF STATE LAND SOLD Only 213 Acres Disposed of, the Average for Which Was $6.00 Per Acre. Theo. Nelson, manager of the | state lands sales department, who conducted the August sale here Mon- day, reports little or no bidding, Only 213 acres were sold, the aver- age price received being $6 per acre. Mr. Nelson, who Sundayed in the village, states the appraisers are now going over more lands in Itasca county, but he is not certain as to whether they will be listed this fall or the coming spring. TRUNK ROAD FROM | DULUTH TO DAKOTA C. M. King, one of the commis- sioners of Itasca county, J. C. King, county attorney of Kanabec county, and County Auditor Peterson of the same county, visited Aitkin Wednes- day as a committee appointed by the Development association to look over | the routes and make recommenda- tions for the construction of trunk roads from Morehead to Duluth and |from Minneapolis to International Falls. They were in consultation wija ‘Chairman Turner of the coun- |ty: board and looked over some of the country through which it is pro- | | posed to lay out the roads. The new Pine Knoll road following the ditch mow being constructed will in all probability be designated as part of the Moorhead road coming across from Pine river. The International | Falls route will probably be recom- mended to come up the east side of | Mille Lacs lake and by way of Ait- |kin and Grand Rapids. | Another big road project which |idoes not strike this county is @ macadam highway from the twin | cities to Duluth which will cost about $5,000 a mile.—Aitkin Independent.

The applicant is then required to become the owner of s'x shares of stock im the association, of the par value of $200 each, which shares are pledged to the association. He then executes a mortgage to the as- sociation for $1,200 upon the lots, and a bond in which he agrees to pay 10 per cent interest unless the said six shares of stock shall ma- ture within less than ten years. from date. These shares receive their pro rata share of the profits of the | association just the same as shares owned by stockholders who are not borrowers. Consequently, bor- rowing stockholders are interested |in the welfare of the association as muchi as other stockholders. After the loan is made the money is paid the borrower in proportion as the building progresses, and when completed the balance of the amount borrowed is (paid to him. He is re- quired to pay thereafter to the as- sociation $16 per month on his loan of $1,200 until his stock matures, not exceeding ten years. Through the loans made by this association a large number of lab- oring men in the village are now owners of comfortable homes who otherwise would be living in rented houses with no particular interest People who own their homes are usually much better citi zens than renters.

He had always lived in rented houses and although his dacome was sufficient to enable him- self and family to live comfortably, at the end of each year after squar- ing up his debts he had nothing left for a rainy day. He was paying $12 per month rent for the house he occupied, the owner offering to sell same to him for $800 cash. His reputation for honesty being the best he was enabled to borrow $600 from the Building amd Loan association, which with the $200 he received from his share in the estate before men- tioned, purchased the house and lot.
