J. A. Fjellman died this morn
ing after a several weeks illness
of typhoid fever. Fjellman was
comparatively speaking a strang-
er in this vicinity. He was en-
ployed in the Walker & Akeley

taken sick and was sent to this
city for treatment. He had the
best of care and medical4attend-
ance, but after a hard fight
against the ravages of the fever
he succumbed last night. Moth.
ing is known of Fjellman's rela-
tives. He was buried as a county
charge this afternoon.

An Indian policeman FROM the
Red Lake reservation who was
wandering about the lake front
at an early hour this morning
lost all his money, about SIS, via
the. good right arm route. The
policeman was star gazing when
he was met by a man, who struck
him between the eyes with a

time and when he came to
his money was gone. He re
ported the matter to the police
department. this morning but
there was no description of the

John McGuinan has been down
on his luck for some time He
has been extremely unfortunate
and yesterday, according to his
own story, when he tired of walk
ing and a cork leg, which he is
compelled to wear, gave him
pain, he deliberately entered the
barn of T.. Amidon at Aida and
stole horse. Astride the horse
he arrived in Bemidji about 8
O'Clock this morning, but in
formation OF. the stealing had
been lodged with the police de
partment ahead of him and Chief
of Police Bailey arrested him
about 10 O'Clock.
McGuinan at first denied the
theft and stated that he had
ridden the animal through from
Devils Lake. He fnallyconfessed,
however, and says that he had
been walking across the country
and has recently been employed
near Devils Lake. He made
some money working this fall
but spent it all for liquor. Since
that time he has been beaten and
bufeted about from place to
place, vagabond on the face Of
the earth. He decided to go to
the Blackjack country and take
a claim. Night overlook him on
the road last night and he was

Saw Mill of CrOOkston Lum-
Der Co. Will Suspend
Operations Soon.
SEASONS CUT WILL BE NEAR.

First Seasons Work in Bemidii
Was Very Satisfactory to
Company.

The big sawmill of the Crook
ston Lumber Company, which
has been in almost constant oper-
alton night and day since its
completion last May will soon be
closed down for the winter after
a very busy seasons work and
one that has been entirely salts
factory.
Just how soon the mill will
shut down has not been stated
but if the weather indications
are the same the latter part Of
the week as they have been for
the past few days it will probab-.
ly suspend operations Friday
night. There were about 100000
feet of logs in the boom last night
and the intention at present is to
clean these up before prepare
tons are made to cut any more,
an inventory Of the weather will
then be taken and if 1t is not of
the most assuring sort the mill
will close until April when it will
again resume operations. About
400 men are at present employed
at the mill. All of these except
those employed at the planning
mill and shipping yards will be
laid off and the latter force will
be considerably curtailed. Dur
ing a recent visit to this city
President Thos. Shevlin stated
that the cut of the mill this
season would be nearly 80, 900
and that it had had very salts
factory season.
The mill has been a big thing
for Bemidji and will continue to
be one of it's most important re
sources for many years to come.
The average wages paid to the
operatives is a trifle over 50 per
day making a total pay roll of
over $1,000 per week. The
greater part Of this money is
leftin Bemidji and it is safe to
say that there is not a citizen in
the city who does not appreciate
it's worth.
This mill is one of the most.
complete and modern in the
state and the seasons work
which it has just completed will
compare favorably with that of
any sawmill in the state or in the
west h.

lnIdUl OVs
Mrs. Kathryn Sullivan, a widow
who resides in ST. Paul, mourns
as dead her only son and sole
support, J. G. Sullivan, who was
last heard from in Blackduck on
the eighth day of April last when
he left hotel in that city to go
to the Big Fork country to take
a claim, and a thorough investi-
cation which has been conducted
by County Attorney Loud to dis
cover some clue Of the missing
man has been abandoned after it
failed to reveal any information
that might lead to his. discovery
dead OF alive.
The story connected with the
affair is somewhat peculiar one,
and the indications at the present
time are strongly in direction
that would indicate that Sullivan
was murdered in or near Black
duck and his body buried or hid
den. This is the opinion enter
tanned by County Attorney Loud
after the most careful investiga
ton of the case.
Sullivan was about % years of
age. For some time he worked
on the section near Blackduck,
and he also was employed on the
streets in that town. He was of
retiring disposition, a young
man of exemplary habits, a duti-
full son and the only child and
sole support Of his aged and
widowed mother in ST. Paul. He
wrote his mother letters every
week and sent her money fire.
quently. He was last seen alive
in Blackjack according to all the
information available on the
morning of April 8, about 8
o'clock, when he is said to have
left the hotel where he had been
stopping and started across the
country and through the woods
to Big Fork in search Of a claim.
It is known to a certainty that he
had $175 upon his person when
he started on the trip. Since
that time he has not been seen
or heard from. His mother anx-
iously awaited letter from him
but it did not come. She came
to Blackjack to see what had be-
fallen him and learned the facts
substantially as stated above.
Mrs. Sullivan is an old friend Of
the family of Governor Van SAINT
and when the governor learned
of her trouble he wrote a letter
to County Attorney Loud and
also called the attention of Attor-
ney General Douglas to it with
the result that Mr.. Loud took the
matter up. A detective was put
on the case. He visited Black
duck, stopped at the hotel where
Sullivan had been stopping and
learned that man named Chas.
Weir claimed to have seen Sulli-
van in saloon at Hibbing on the
26th day Of April. The detective
visited Hibbing and found that
neither Weir or Sullivan had
ever been there. At Blackjack
several people who might be able
to throw some light on the affair
told conflicting stories, but there
was absolutely nothing developed
that would lead to any informa.
ton as to his whereabouts.
