SANS BEST SOLDIERS.
Will Remain in Bemidji For Week
EnIisting For All Branches
Of the Service.

j. White, a corporal in the gen
eral recruiting service Of the
United States army,is in Bemidjl
for the purpose Of enlisting men
to fight for your Uncle Samuel
should the occasion ever again
demand it, and to serve in the
United States army whether or
not the service is the most active
sort or not.
Mr.. White has opened a re-
cruiting office at the Markham
hotel and will remain in the city
for some time or until he is salts
fed that his visit here will not
be productive in the way of en-
listments.
There are no better soldiers in
the service, Mr.. White says, than
those who are recruited from the
lum bering districts of Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Thousands of woodsmen from
these three states are now in the
army and they are the best sol
diers in the service. They live a
robust life, are for the most part
endowed by nature with a mag
nifcent physique and coupled
with these requirements an in
telligence and regard for country
that makes them the ideal Of
what the soldier should be. Ow-
ing to the fact that many of the
men are out of work in the lum-
bering districts this year and
the regular army is badly in
need of recruits in all branches it
has been decided to send recruit
ing officers to all the numbering
districts.
Mr.. White came from Grand
Rapids to Bemidji. He enlisted
quite bunch Of men at that
place and hopes to be as success
full in Bemidji.

Fred Worthington Wanders
Into Two Harbors a
Raying Maniac.
d LOST FROM PARTY HE SUFFERS
TERRIBLE EXPOSURE.
Wanders About in Storm For
Forty.eight Hours and is Now
in PitiabIe Condition.

Fred Worthington, a resident
of the town Of Northern, has just
had terrible experience near
Two Harbors, Mimi, and as a re
suit he is now a raving maniac at
the city jail ia Two Harbors.
Worthington, with his family,
left Bemidj il last week to look up
land in Lake county.
From Remidji Mr. Worthing-
ton and a party Of seven went to
Duluth, where they took a boat to
Crystal Bay, thirty-fve miles
distant, intending to look up
land, a considerable distance
north of there. The party reached
the bay in safety and immedi-
ately started from there on their
journey. They have not since
been heard from, but Worthing-
ton turned up at Two Har bors
last Sunday raving maniac.
The superstition is that he be-
came lost from his friends and
that he had been wandering
around alone in the woods, with
out anything to eat for several
days, as the party had started in
on Tuesday.
He was locked up at the city
Jail in Two Harbors and was SO
violent in his malady that it was
necessary to strap him to the
couch to prevent him doing him
self violent injury.
Worthington, questioned in his
cell as to how he became lost, did
not appear to comprehend and in
an incoherent manner began t6
tell about how honorable his an
tecedents were and how they
should be gwen full credit for al
that they have accomplished il
this world.
According to the reports Of th'
weather bureau, there was bu
one place on the American CONT
nent that was colder than Duluth
at 4 o'clock Sunday morning
That was Winnipeg, where "a de
grees below zero was registered
at that hour. The unfortunat t,
mans hands, face and feet wer'
severely frost bitten and his con
dition is serious.

failure was that of Richards &

that they are insolvent led to the

It's held that a county fair
could be held in Beltrami county
that as an exposition of it's

to none in the state. It would
also be a very effective manner of
advertising the county to the out

interests in cut-over lands in

in the fair and would no doubt
contribute literally to it's sup

to interest them in the matter.
