Once Inside, May Stay In.
Worlds Fair Visitors May Live on
the Grounds If They So Elect.
Splendid Accommodation at Reason
able Rates.

1t is more than probable that
Worlds Fair visitors will jump at the
chance to have their lodging place
right on the grounds. The big hotel
that has been built for them is some
thing new in Worlds Fairs. 1t is
called by the appropriate name, Inside
Inn, and is the greatest inn that ever
was built. This splendid hotel, des-
tined to be one of the gayest and most
social spots of the great Exposition,
is In the southeast corner of the
grounds, in close proximity to the
Plateau of States, and just a short dis
lance In the rear of Festival Hall, the
Art Palace and the main picture of the
Exposition. The Intramural railroad
of the fair runs by the hotel entrance
md will carry passengers to all the
main exhibit palaces and all points OF
greatest attraction in the grounds
The hotel is 400 feet wide by 500 feet
long, and is three stories high, with
wide verandas overlooking large
part of the grounds. 1t is provided
with large rotunda, parlors, waiting
rooms, and a dining-room and cafe
that alone seat $500 persons, and has
1851 sleeping-rooms.
The rooms are 1t on either the
American or European plan, the price
being controlled by the size, location
and furnishings of the room. The
rates are reasonable, and they include
the admission to the grounds. So lone
as the visitor is a guest of the Inside
Inn his daily admission fee is practi-
ca1ly paid by the hotel. For instance
this hotel will sign a seven-day con-
tract on the American plan for $21
which covers lodging, three meals 9
day. and daily admission to the
grounds after the visitor has become
q registered guest. Payment of this
kind can be made on an installmen
plan.

CHALLENGE In Behalf of Indicted Officials
overruled by Judge Harvey.

Special to The Journal.

Butte, Mont, June 24.-Judge Harvey
has made a decision overruling the chal-
lenge Of the grand jury, and declaring that
body to be legally constituted. The chal-
lenge was made In behalf Of defendant
W. D. Clark in the matter of an indict
ment against him In which it is sought
to remove him from the office of county
commissioner for alleged misconduct.
A stubborn legal warfare has been waged
in the district court for a week, attacking
the validity Of the grand jury which over
a month ago handed down twenty one
indictments against officials of Silver Bow
county. 1t was alleged that irregulari-
ties existed in the drawing Of the jury.
The finding Of the indictments caused a
sensation in the city, the charges involv-
Ing some of the best known men in the
county.

DARK CRIME In

Lurking Criminals Believed to
Have Murdered Dahl and
Daughter for Money.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal,
Bemidji, Mimi, June 24.-Investi-
Dahl and his daughter, Miss Agot, who
have been missing from the latter's
homestead near During postoffice,
Beltrami county, since early April.
only tends to heighten the belief that
hidden beneath the mystery is the
story of one of the foulest murders
ever committed in the state.
Mr.. Dahl was about 60 and had re-
sided in the county two years. He re-
Gently proved up on a claim near
During, and induced his daughter,
young lady from Crookston, to come
to this section and file on home
stead. After her arrival he made his
home with her.
The couple We're friendly with all
the neighbors and enjoyed the uni

1t was rumored that Dahl had money
and the neighborhood gossip placed
the amount at $4,000. 1t was re-
marked that he was queer" about
money matters and preferred to keep
his cash in the house with him rather
than in any of the banks in the adj
| joining towns
| Since April the couple have been
missing. Several days before that date

when Mark Devine, cruiser for the

place deserted. The beds where they

there were indications that the couple

and returned to During by the rela-
| tives there. Investigation then de-
veloped the fact that nothing had been
| heard from the couple for some time.
Every relative with whom they might
be visiting was communicated with,
but nothing that would reveal their
whereabouts was developed.
Ugly rumors began to spread about
the settlement. Relatives Of the miss
ing pair visited their home to find that

as If the earth had opened and en-
quilted them and there was no salts

mystery. Searching parties were or.

Criminals in the Woods.

During is a country postoffice far
up in the pine woods. In the fast
nesses of the great forests many men
who have life stories that they desire
to keep from the outside world, are
living down a past. Included in the
number are several ex-convicts and
men who have the reputation Of being
criminals of the most desperate type.
The criminal annals Of the state record
more murders In proportion to the
population in the northern part Of the
state than in any other section per-
haps, and it is believed that the men
who can best explain the disappear
ance of Dahl and his daughter do not
live far from that vicinity.
The theory Of the disappearance
which generally obtains at present is
that Dahl and his daughter were MUIR
dered for the money he was supposed
to have, and the bodies were either
burned or buried in some remote sec
ton of an adjoining swamp, where al
traces of grave would be effaced by
the elements before their disappear
ance from the homestead was discov-
cred. .....
The county authorities are exhaust.
ing every effort to explain the mys-
terry.
