Wants a Heap Of Money.

Charles Burnell, the Indian
WHO'S serving thirty days at the
county jail for being drunk last
night, is something of a charac-
ter. Burnell is a North Dakota
Indian and has been travelling
with a quack doctor and medicine
show as a sort of prodigy. In
the effete and aristocratic east he
was much honored for his long
hair and the interesting stories
the octor told about him but the
speople@of Northern Minnesota
were not so appric iatiye. A short
time ago some white men found
him in a n ca sss.ee nd tioaszand
'sii,ft1ged his iiiail nearly to the
scalp. He was rendered useless
for all purposes to the medicine
show and was forthwith dis
charged. He now states that as
soon as it can be brought about
he will bring an action for $10,-
900 damages against the men
who burned his locks and his
livelihood.

ADJUSTMENTS

Sanford Dodge and a strong
supporting company presented
Don Caeser De Bazan to a fair
business at tho city opera house
last night. The piece was well
staged and capably rendered and
Mr.. Dodge is an actor far be-
yond the requirements of Don
Caesar and will not be seen at his
best until this evening in "Ham-
let" The piece is all that is
claimed for it, however, and it's
presentation could not have been
more capable than at the hands
OF Mr.. Dodge and his excellent.
company last night. AS Don
Caesar, the spendthrift Spanish
nobleman, generous to fault,
accomplished as a soldier and
withal a character of the heroic
stripe Mr.. Dodge was superb.
The part does not call for his
strongest efforts, but it gives his
friends an opportunity to see
him in a role that calls for con-
siderable versatility which is al
ways forthcoming. Miss leila
Zee Leslie as Mariana, the gypsy
girl, was all that could be de-
sired, and her efforts contributed
in no small measure to the en-
-joyment of the piece last night.
The supporting company is
strong. Tonight the Dodge com
pany presents Hamlet" Al
most everybody is familiar with
the piece, with the character,
logic and beauty Of its quaint
Shakesperian lines and with the
strong situations in which the
piece abounds. Mr.. Dodge will
be seen at his best tonight.
Hamlet affords him ample
scope for the full exercise Of his
exceptional ability and all those
who appreciate the legitimate
drama have in store a rare treat
in tonight's event.

STAY in Proceedings to Appoint
gharte mission Pending
Mr.. Douglas Decision.

Mr.. Douglas Decision.
There is a stay in the proceed
ings instituted in the district
court for the appointment Of a
charter commission to draught a
charter for the city of Bemidji,
pending the decision of a ques-
tod at law which will be decided
by Attorney General Douglas
and should be forthcoming in the
very near future.
The petition was up before
Judge Spooner yesterday after
noon, Judge McClennahan hav
ing affixed his Signature, when
City Attorney Russell. appeared
and argued for a stay. There
are at present two plans for city
organization, each widely differ
ent but each designed to accomp-
lish the same end. City Attor.
ney Russell holds that the city
cannot be legally organized by
the appointment of a charter
commission and contends that it
must first be organized under
some one of the several laws
covering the Subject and a char
ter afterwards adopted. Mr..
Russell does not act officially in
the matter and looks only to serv-
ing the best interests of the city
at large. Attorney McCusick
contends the contrary and both
gentlemen agreed yesterday
afternoon to submit the question
to Attorney General Douglas for
settlement.
Briefly stated the question in
volved is "Does the adoption of a
charter under the provisions Of
Chapter 38 of the general laws of
1893 of itself change the govern
ment of a village into a city gov
eminent without any otheract or
condition precedent, and this is
the question which Attorney
General Douglas will be called
upon to decide.
The organization as contem-
plated under the charter plan has
given rise to considerable specu-
lation and comment and has
aroused feeling in some quar-
tiers. Those directly responsible
for getting the matter UP for
official consideration hold that it
is the most satisfactory plan Of
organization and state that they
have no other interests in the
matter than to see the city organ
lied on a business-like basis and
one that will permit OF munich
pal government that will cover
all requirements and contingent
cies.

ly decide the matter and will re-
suit in the withdrawal of one OF
the plans from consideration.

that prominent lumbermen are
