mantle Tale of a
WOman's Woes.
BEMIDJI LAWYER GETS A VERY
STIFF ROAST ON SIDE.
Name Not Mentioned and Local
Bar Feels That Injustice
is Done.

The legal profession OF this
city is decidedly indignant over
the publication of an article in
the Cass Lake Voice last week
which it regards as a reflection
upon the honor and integrity OF
every individ ual member, and has
prepared a petition and forward
ed it to the editor Of the Voice
asking that the nameof the attor-
ney whom the paper accuses Of
gross misconduct and violation
of every rule Of the time honored
code Of professional ethics, be
published, and the skirts of the
other members cleared of the
smirch of disrespectability which
the article, and other articles,
sent out from Cass Lake have
placed upon them.
The Voice cites only one case
of many that it claims to have in
mind wherein the attorney did
anyone an injustice. 1t fatty as
serts that he undertook a contest
case which made a defendant ola
young lady who had taken a
timber claim near Cass Lake. It.
told a heroic tale Of how the lady
carried provisions a distance Of
thirty miles from this city and
religiously complied with the re-
quirements of the law and how
the heartless attorney contested
her claim to the land and put her
to needless trouble and expense
which she could ill afford. It
also stated that the attorney was
long on this sort Of business and
never lost an opportunity to get
cases of this sort, and taken al
together, said many things which
the legal lights Of this city regard
as a personal reflection.
Yesterday petition was pre-
pared and forwarded to the editor
of the Voice asking that thenam
Of the lawyer who was guilty Of
such gross misconduct should be
published in the next issue of the
paper. 1t bore the signature Of
everv attorney in the city.
Articles have also appeared in
the Minneapolis and Duluth
papers, purporting to have as
their authority the officials Of
the Cass Lake land Office, con-
tanning accusations quite as ser
ious and another comm unication
will be prepared and forwarded
to them calling their attention to
the fact that the laT> provides
that when any attorney is guilty
Of offenses such as they Nave
charged that their duty as ofic-
ials is to require him to show
cause why he should not be de-
barred from practice before the
land office.
Interesting developments are
expected in a very short time and
there is much interest in the
outcome.

BRIBE MONEY FOUND
IN A BOX OF CIGARS
Sent to Army Omcer BY a Contrac.
tor Turns Up in WASH
ingtOn.

Washington. July 2S.-The secretary
of war has sent to the treasury Ge
partment a box of cigars and 500,
which was received from the depart
ment of Texas with thanks. 1t
appears that Colonel Glen. chief
of the quartermaster's depart
ment, found the box of cigars
on his desk. and upon opening it dis
covered that it was from n contract
who was doing some work under the
quartermaster's supervision. In the
box was the money. The colonel was
very indignant and referred the mat
ter to General Fred Grant, command
ing the department.
The contractor acknowledged send
ing the cigars by a messenger boy, but
said he did ont know anything about
the money. General Grant thought
that under such circumstances moth
ing could be done by prosecuting the
man for attempted bribery, and sent
the cigars and the money to the war
department. From the war department
they were sent TO the treasury, where
all unclaimed funds are sent. The ci-
gars subsequently were sold for So
and the money placed with the 800.

VIOLATING FISH LAWS
IN ROCK AND GREEN RIVERS

There has been some agitation late
lN over the fact that Seining iS still
going on in Rock and Green rivers,
though the terms of the new fish law
prohibits Seining absolutely in streams
that are not navigable. Seines of one
and oUe-half inch mesh may he used
i'm navigable streams only. There Is
some doubt in the case of Rock river,
as it has been held in certain cases as
navigable, though in reality il is nav
igable only where the slack water
navigation has been provided for in
connection with the Hennepin canal.
Another provision of the law that
is being violated is that which for
bids the catching of black bass. pike.
pickerel or wall-eyed pike at any time
by any other means than with hook
and line.
1t is possibly not understood by
fishermen, eitherS that the use of
dynamite i'm Rock river for catching
fish is a penitentiary offenSe. 1t is
not impossible that some of the per-
sons who are reported to have been
using the explosive may find them
selves serving two years term in
the penitentiary.

told the police the following story:
Harry seemed to be altogether too
popular with women. l have Scolded
him about it several times. but he has
always said he could not help it and
that l was too jealous. He claimed
that he was nothing more than courte-
Gus to the women. Last Saturday night
we had a dispute about the same sub
ject, and the t: ouble bothered me all
night and popped into my head when
/ first awOke in the morning. Acting
on impulse, got his revolver from the
drawer and shot him. l am sorry

TONA DUNLAP OSTRACIsED

Miss Tona Dunlap, of Aledo, who
was acquitted of the charge of pois-
oning her friend. Miss Allie Dool. af-
ter one of the most sensational trials
ever held in this vicinity, Is now re-
ported to be in broken health on
account of the social oStracism to
which she is subjected.
On account of the bitterness occa-
stoned during the trial and the dis
satisfaction in the part of some at
the finding of the jury. many of the
residents OF Aledo today shun Miss
Dunlap. who is practically an outcast
in the city of her birth. where she
attended school and spent her entire
life. Justice Doughty. who conducted
the preliminary hearing and decided
that there was not enough evidence
TO bind her over. states that the girl
has never recovered from the terrible
strain Of the serious accusation and
excitement that attended the trial
and is now practically an invalid. as is
also her mother. who was prostrated
soon after the trial was over.

maker and regained her lead, four min
utes and twenty-eight seconds ahead
of the Columbia, and four minutes and
1ifty-siX seconds ahead of the Consti-
tuition.
From the showing of the three boats

MISSED THE TRAIN AT CHICAGO
But Boarded a Special and Caught Up NJ
Toledo on the Flv.

Foster reached Chicago just fourteen
minutes too late. He dashed through
the station. tumbled into n cab and
rushed madly across town to the sta
ton. where Assistant Superintendent
Brown had II Rock Island dummy
waiting for him. Then Il mad ride
in the dummy to EnglewOod followed,
where the special car and its engine
were made up in readiness. Steam was
already up. and the engine wheels he
gan to revolve almost before the hur-
rying man had put foot upon the plat
form.
Just forty-nine minutes after the

cial engine We're carrying Foster at

man in the car checked each one and
looked again at his time table and
checked them again, and at his watch.
ToIedo-that was his gOal-TOledO,
first stop of the flying train-TOledO,
Mecca of the pursuing engine. HOl-
land! The little red station meant six
more miles. Foster was on the plat
form by the time the engine had passed
it. 1t did not seem to be thing of
wheels to ride along fixed railS-this
engine 1t seemed to leap. to bridge
distance, to annihilate space.
There wGs the smoke of Toledo.
There was the station. Here is the
throbbing train, the big drive wheels
just beginning to revolve. to carry it
on its race eastward. One leap across
tie platform--a wild rush for the last
car. and Foster jumped aboard. He
reached New York just before $50
yesterday morning. He was on time
for the opening of Wall street.

LYNCHED BUT INNOCENT

Lynchers.

Savannah, Ga, July 2S.-An inno-

which thought it had followed Ed
Clauss through seven counties from
Darien Junction to the southern part
of Dodge county. where the supposed
rapist was captured, tied to a tree
anC his body riddled with bullets, de-
spite frantic protests of innocence.
A young white woman of Darien
Junction, Miss Susie Johnson, was
criminally assaulted by Clauss. Now
Clauss has been found in small viii
lage near Darien Junction and is in
Jail. If the citizens succeed in get
ting Clauss from the officers it is pos
sible that two negroes will pay for the
crime he committed instead of one.

Candy.

A little pure candy after lunch or
dinner is not only uninjurious, but it
aids digestion. Between meals on an
empty stomach it is simply perniciOus
and would eventually ruin the stomach
of the strongest person. Mothers who
let their children eat candies and other
sweets between their meals certainly
err from ignorance, for they would not
willingly let them do a thing that
would ruin their health. The fact that
a child has strong constitution does
not insure her against chronic dyspep-
sia when she is growing
