Case Against Man Held For
Murder Goes Before Com
missioner of Interior.
ADVERSE DECISION AT CASS
LAKE LAND OFFICE.
Contestant Claims He Cleared
Brush From Claim Five Min.
utes Before Filing.

-F Z g 81 = 2. +
The contest case of John A..
Bergland VS.. Frank J. Ar6z was
appealed at the land office in Cass
Lake yesterday, a decision having
been reached by the officials of
the land office adverse to Artz.
Artz, who is being held at the
county Jail to the fall term Of
district court on charge of the
murder Of John Weilander, a
friend Of Bergland's, filed upon
the land in dispute at five min.
utes after nine O'Clock on Nov. TO-,
1908, at the land office. He had
been in line at the door of the
land office for twenty-four hours
before the lands became open for
settlement and was third to make
his fling before the officials.
Bergland, the contestant,
claims that at 9 o'clock on the
day that the lands were open for
settlement, he was cutting brush
on the land upon which Artz filed.
and conseq uently had a prior
right to file upon the land. He
built a cabin upon the claim and
early in the month Of April this
year Artz went up to make in
provements upon the land which
he thought was his. Artz also
built a cabin, bat was constantly
annoyed by Bergland and We'll
ander and finally the men became
bitter enemies. Artz claims that
in an alienation with Weilander
over the matter he shot MIN in
self defense, but he was subse-
quently arrested for the murder
Of the man he had shot and is
now being held at the county jail.
The matter has been appealed
to the commissioner of the inter
Tor at Washington, but the date
for the hearing has not yet been
set. Henry Funklev of this city
represents Artz in the matter,
while Z. M. Lang appears for
Bergland.

Crookston Lumber Co. S
Camps Move NorthWard
to New Field.
LARGE AMOUNT OF PINE LOGS
SHIPPED YEARLY.
Cut of Logs the Coming Winter
Will Be Larger Than That
of Last Winter.

Monday morning the camps of
the Crookston Lum Der company
were moved from Kelliher to a
new location three miles north of
that village. The work at the
Kelliher camp has been very
heavy this year although there
has not been as much lumber
shipped out as there was last
year. This was largely owing to
the facl that the season opened
at Turtle Lake where there were
nearly five million feet shipped to
Bemidji before they began opera
ton at Kelliher.
Last year there were nearly
eleven million feet of lum Der
shipped from Kelliher Lake to
Bemidji and this year there has
been but nine million. There
are one hundred men employed
in the camp, thirty men working
on the hoist. This has enabled
them to push the work rapidly
and the shipments each day have
amounted to about three hundred
and twenty thousand feet.
The work has consumed just
thirty days and the camps were
abandoned this week for good,
while the new camps will be
worked all through the remainder
of the season and the winter. The
cut will be heavy this winter and
an ice road will be built to Kelli-
her Lake where all of the tim Der
will be hauled before it breaks
up in the spring. This means
that next year the shipment will
be even heavier from Kelliner
| than IN any year in the past.
Nearly a hundred more men
will be taken on this week and
the work of cutting will begin at
once. There has been no difficulty
in securing men this year and
the trains will bring men into
Kelliher every day until the de-
mand is supplied. In the entire
seasons run this year there has
not been an accident and the best
of feeling and order prevails in
the camps.
The work at Kelliher is being
done under the supervision of
Contractor White, of Duluth, and
he is assisted by Bob Mitchell,
foreman of the hoist, and William
Wardell, foreman of the camps.

Would Interest Bemidji Peo-

of Railway.
DIRECTORS OF RED LAKE ROAD
FAVOR PROJECT.
Mr.. Bixby Offers to Help Pay For
a Preliminary Survey Show.
H ing Country.

M. D. Stoner. who recently re-
turned from St. Paul, says that
while he was there he called upon
Tams Bixby and talked with him
regarding the new Minneapolis,
Red Lake & Manitoba railways
proposition of making Bemidji
the terminus of the road instead
of some town up the line of the
M. & I. Mr.. Bixby expressed
himself as firmly believing that
the people of Bemidji we're pass
ing up very good thing in allow
ing the road to build to some
town up the north line instead of
to Bemidji without making an ef-
fort to secure the term mus for
this city.
Mr.. Bixby even offered to con-
tribute one-fifth Of the cost
of the preliminary survey
to this city in order to con-
vince the railway company that
the county which would be ira
versed by it's road in coming to
Bemidji would be as good as if it
made Farley or Tenstrike it's ter
minus.
After the conference with Mr..
Bixby, Mr.. Stoner called upon
the directors of the company, and
they expressed themselves in
favor of building the road to Be-
midi, although the cost of right
of way would be much greater
than if it were built to some town
north of Bemidji. They natur~
ally expect certain concessions
from the people of this city
should the road come here.
The cost of a preliminary sur
vey would be only about $500,
and it is thought by Mr.. Stoner
that should the survey be made
a united effort on the part of the
business men of the city would
result in landing road in Bemidji.
1t is certain that the city would
profit greatly by the addition of
another railway tapping the rich
farming country to the north
west, as much of the trade from
that section goes to other cities.

Medric Perrault WOuldSever
Marriage Ties With
Erratic Wife.
SAYS CANNUBIAL FELICITY is
ONE SIDED.
Bemidji Man Said to Be lmpli-
Gated in Causing Trouble Be.
tween Man and Wife.

Medric Perrault, the Farley
saloon keeper, passed through
the city yesterday enroute to
Farley from Grand Forks, where
he conducted a diligent search
for his wife, who left him some
time ago and went west, but 'all
his efforts to locate the wife of
his bosom have been of no avail.
He will bring an action against
the woman to secure a divorce on
a charge of desertion.
Perrault has had considerable
trouble with the wife who swore
to love, honor and obey him, and
has been thinking of applying
for divorce for some time. The
finishing stroke to sever all re
spect for her was when she dis
appeared last week He waited
a few days for her return, but
she did not show up and he went
in search of her. He shaved off
the neat moustache he wore for
years, donned pair Of overalls
and SLOUGH hat, and, completely
disguised, visited towns along
the Great Northern line as far
west as Grand Forks, but the
whereabouts of his missing frau
could not be found out.
It is said that the woman was
accompanied by a man from Be.
midi, and the two were working
some kind of a game together.
It is claimed that she has been
selling a variety of metal polish
and nun Der of home made
medicines which she'tguaranteed
to cure, " and has been making a
comfortable Lying for herself
and escort. They have kept go
ing steadily westward, however,
and the last heard of them was
that they had reached Oregon
and intended to establish ASLEEP
ranch there.
Perrault claims that his reason
for following his erratic spouse
was not to bring her back home,
but rather to secure evidence
enough against her so that he
might successfully bring action
for divorce. He thinks he has
accomplished this, and the suit
will be started in the near flu
ture.

BEATING A SCOOP"
The Way President Hayes Once
Saved u Newspaper Man.

Il Way President Hayes Once
Saved IA Newspaper Man.
President Hayes was generally count
ed as a cold mar by the correspond.
ents, but there is one dignifed writer
of "brevier matter" who, when a
Washington correspondent, had need
to find a vulnerable Joint in the presi-
dents armor and succeeded completely.
Then, as now, great pains were taken
to prevent premature publication of the
presidents message. At the same time
it was the custom, which 1t is not now,
for certain newspapers to print a fore.
cast of the message a few days in ad-
vance. One year the correspondent Of
W. S. Story's Chicago Times learned
late on a Saturday night that the Chi
cago Tribune man had sent an abstract
Of the message by mail for publication
on'the following Monday morning. An
he knew that to be beaten on 50 i'm
portant a matter meant discharge by
the irasclble Story, be put in all of the
following Sunday trying to secure an
abstract for himself. At about noon
ne got so close to a printed copy that
he began to have hopes, but they We're
dashed to the ground when the GUS
todian thereof refused an offer of ST.
COO for the document.
Finally, at about 3 o'clock, the COZ
respondent met a senator, a great
friend Of the president, to whom he
poured out the complete story of his
troubles. The senator didn't believe he
could be Of service, but finally consent
ed to take the correspondent with him
to call upon the chief executive.
At first the president was adamant,
though he would o deny that the
Chicago Tribune's man had stolen a
march on his rival. At last, being
convinced that failure meant the close
of his callers journalistic career, Mr..
Hayes said:
Il can't send you to any one for u
copy of the message, as you suggest.
You can't be helped by any one but
me, and | am crowded for time. But,
under the circumstances, 1 will outline
the message briefly on condition that
you keep the urce of your Informal
ton a secret. You must not take notes.
bat write wholly from memory. /
may repeat the exact ~phraseology of
the messagefn part and that wouldn't
do in your Dispatch"
Then for the space OF twenty minutes
the president talked steadily, the cor
respondent listening meanwhile as if
his life depended upon good hearing
and good memory. The result was a
column and three-quarters in the Chi.
cago Times the next morning and pro.
motion instead of discharge for the
newspaper man. - Louisville Courier

Siletz Notes.

Died-Thursday morning, at twenty.
five minutes past 4. Mrs Clara Towner,
aged "a years, at her home in Siletz.
Her husband, who is industrial teacher
at the Indian training school, three
children and a host Of friends mourn
their loss. She was a faithful and con
sistent member of the NJ. e. church
and during her sickness her expressions
of faith and hope we're a rich legacy to
those around her. Mrs. Towner was q
lady Of very pleasant address and enter
tanning ways, always assisting " s~ocials,
and faithful as a member of the church
choir. SO sudden, so unexpected, it
has cast Il gloom of the deepest sadness
over all.
Weep not for her, that she hath reached
before us
The safe, warm shelter Of her long
loved home;
Weep no. for her; she may be bending
DER us, '
In quiet wonder when we, too, shall
SOlllt' . . ".H..
But weep for those round whom the
tight is ~thronging;
Who still -nust grid the heavy armor
on; .,lt
Who dare not pray for rest, though sore
their longing;
TIL AL the weary, working day is
done.
And pray for them that they, though
sad and lonely,
May still with patience bear the cross
He sends;
And learn that tears, and wounds, and
losses 0"ly
Make peace the sweeter when the
warfare ends.
Vim Towner, through your columns,
desires to thank all who so willingly
aided him during his wife's sickness.

Temperature and Atmorphcre.

That a body can acquire during the
night a different temperature from
that of the surrounding atmosphere
has been demonstrated by an English
physicist. If a thermometer Is taken
from the window, wrapped In cotton
and placed on the ground its mercury
will descend seven or eight degrees.
Vegetables similarly situated. and be-
ing bad conductors, may freeze at n
time when the thermometer does not
mark the freezing p%oint-proof that
the cold experienced by tire plant may
be entirely different from the tempera-
ture of the surrounding air. This low
temperature Of plants, however, only
ecu when the night is clear, since
ut this time the plant sheds it's heat
throughout space and becomes chilled,
whereas IL the night is cloudy the
phenomenon does not occur. This
gives rise to the popular superstition
that plants epd buds are frozen by
moonlight.
