easily be transmitted to this city,
and it would be invaluable for
manufacturing purposes.

Title in Question.

are at Cass Lake this afternoon,
where they appear in a contest
case before the United States
land office in which the title to a
piece of land which was home
steaded by a man named G. III.
Rude is in question. Rude com
pleted proof and has gone to Nor
way. The land was sold by him
to Joseph Berry, and Thomas
Hagen has contested the title
on the ground that Rude never
established residence on the
place. The evidence on both sides
is very exhaustive and will re-
quire some time to hear.

G. II. Peterson, editor and
manager of the Wesley, Iowa,
News World with a party Of nine
from Wesley, was at the Mark
ham hotel last night. Mr.. Peter
son and his party are out for a
vacation and intend to see a con-

Minnesota before returning to
their home. For the past several
days they have been looking over
lands in the vicinity of Cass Lake
and this morning they lett for
the Red Lake reservation. They
will establish camp somewhere
in the reservation country and
will spend two weeks hunting big
game. The party are especially
anxious to secure a specimen of
caribou and will make big effort
to accomplish their end.

A Clever Scheme.

j. ]. Doran has just completed
a large metel box which is to be
devoted to a peculiar purpose.
The box will be used by Anton
Mahitka, proprietor of the City
Bakery, for the purpose Of manu-
featuring charcoal. Mr.. Mahitka
bakes his bread in an enormous
Dutch oven which is heated by
making a fire directly in the oven.
When the oven is properly heated
the fuel is removed and instead
of being wasted is placed in an
air tight metal box in which it is
converted into charcoal which
proves invaluable for use in the
oven later.

FIRE AT FARLEY
Careless Tramps Start Blaze That
Endangers Entire Town
For a Time.

A very bad fire was narrowly
avefted at .f'ar1ey early ms morn
ing. It appears that a party OF
tramps had entered a small vacant
building and had attempted to
build a fire. to warm themselves.
Later they left the building and
the fire, and when the night

about 100, the entire structure
was found to be ablaze. The
building was totally destroyed
and the fire communicated to the
adjoining buildings on both sides.
The big barns and blacksmith
shop of Blakely & Farley were
for a time in danger and the
guests at the Hotel Blakely were
all gotten out of bed. The citi-
zens worked hard, however, and
succeeded in getting the blaze
under control before it did any
further damage.

The cause grows out Of a mort

berg's wife is an inmate of the

Fergus Falls at the present time,

closure is being contested by
Mrs. Holtenberg's guardian on
the grounds that it was not valid

tract without the knowledge and
consent of the other. There is
still another case to try, but all

Hunters to Bemidji.
HUNTING PARTIES HAVE AL.
READY BEGUN TO ARRIVE.
Deer and Moose More Plentiful
1.s's Than For Many Years Old .,.,
Timers Say.

AlMCIO Gay.
The hunting season for big
game will be open next Tuesday
and the indications are that it
will have one of the most favor
able openings in years, while
there may not be the army OF
hunters in the woods that has
been characteristic for several
years past.
The fact that there have been a
large number of fatalities to
hunters arising from the fact
that a number of inexperienced
young men go into the woods
every year has done much to de-
tract from the popularity OF the
sport of hunting big game, but
the old timers can't keep out OF
the woods and there will still be
large number of hunters.
The fact that the open season
on moose is longer this year will
bring many to the woods that
would not come otherwise and
there will be many parties who
win go to the extreme north
country in search of the willy
caribou.
Game of all sorts has never
been apparently more plentiful
in this section. Old hunters say
that the woods are full of deer
signs and in the outlying dis
tricts moose have become a posi-
tive nuisance to some of the set
tiers. Within a short distance Of
.Bemidji there is excellent deer
hunting, but the best shooting is
said to be about thirty miles
north Of this city. Hunters are
already beginning to ARRIVE.
Two parties from southern Min
nesota came in over the Great
Northern last night and leave for
the north country this morning.
They will establish camp some
distance out from Turtle River
and will remain till the close OF
the season. "Jud" LaMoure,the
North Dakota statesman, is also
expected to arrive some time
next week with a party Of friends
from Pembina to hunt in the vi
entity Of Farley, where Mr.. La
Moure has interests. The Ridge
way club of Sioux City, Iowa, are
also to have a Delegation IN Jne
woods in this vicinity. Hereto
fore they have hunted in the vi
entity Of Pine River but they will
have newground this year. This
party was last year success
full in securing several fine speci-
mems Of black bear and the Sioux
City papers have been telling
dreadful stories Of the wilds of
northern Minnesota in their Sun
hay editions ever since.
The county auditors Office has
issued about 1875 resident per-
mits so far. This is considerably
under the number issued last
year. Almost everybody in Be
midi who can get away, how
ever, plans to spend some time
in the woods.
