BALLOTS TO DECIDE
 HIGH SCHOOL MATTER
Mayor Drennen Orders 5000 Printed to Be Ready for the Election
 on April il.

The 5000 ballots ordered by Mayor Dren- nen for the special election to be held on April Il to determine whether or not bonds shall be issued for the purpose or securing funds with which to build new high school and two other schools Will be ready within the next few days.
 Inasmuch as the special election takes place on the same day as the county democratic primary, the same officials will act for both the city and the county. There will probably be separate ballot boxes. however. as the returns of the city election will have to be made to the city council to be canvassed and the returns of the county primary to the county democratic executive committee before the official result can be declared.
 At the special city election there will be nine polling pIaces-one in each ward.

IRON MARKET HAS

QUOTATIONS MADE FOR SPOT SHIPMENT IN ORDER TO GET BENEFIT OF CUT FREIGHT RATE THAT EXPIRES MARCH 31.

Rogers, Brown & Go. liicr on ths Iron market says:
 "It was exepected that orders for south ern iron would como in somewhat slow ly on the new 5000 basis and the salei of the past week have been mostly fol small amounts. The market has beer somewhat disturbed by reason of quota tons made for spot shipment in order tc get the benefit of the cut freight rate tha expires March 31. The reduced rate vii not be protected unless the Iron passei the Ohio river going north previous tt April 1. at which time the old rate will be restored. So far as can be learned the southern producers are content witt their wlll-flled order books and have nc anxiety about the future.
 'oThe business of the week has beer largely in northern irons for which the demand has been good and large ton. mage placed Prices in the north have been advanced from 50 cents to $1.00 pel ton by most of the producers, thus bring ing them more nearly to a parity witt southern irons.

TEMPERANCE PUNotl BOWL.
To Be Kept Hospitality Full on New
Years Eav

If we are to follow one of the ioIIv
old customs bequGathed us by our Eng
lish forbears, VIC must keep the punch
bowl Hospitality full through the holi-
day week. But even if this is not pre-
pared for the weeks celebration it

For those who arc glad to emphasize
the good cheer which this custom typi-
fles, bat VINO for cOnsCienCe's sake pre-

ing connection is recommended: Take
the juice of three lemons and three
oranges, one pineapple shredded from
the core with a silver fork one quart
can of Strawberries. one tablespoonful
Of Ceylon tea, ono quart of boiling wa
ter; pour the water on the tea and LET
1t stand fifteen minutes Add to the
fruit ono or two cups of sugar, accord

! hour. When the tea is cold, add to the
fruit and sugar one quart of aDpol

the pulp Of the orange. as wen as the
shredded pineapple and berries in the
| punch. In serving this slices of lemon
are placed in each glass. If canned
pineapple is used, lessen the quantity
of sugar.
This forms a delicious concoction

crime, and much sympathy is ex-
pressed for the relatives of the
victims Of the terrible affair.
Every possible chance of fer
reting out the mystery has been
employed by Sheriff Bailey,
County Attorney Loud and their
assistants, and the hunt for evi.
dence that would lead to a con
viction of the guilty parties has
been kept up necessarily since
the disappearance of the Dahls
last April, but no su bstantiai evi-
dence has been produced, and
beyond the slight circumstantial
evidence there is really nothing
which would tend to implicate
either Fournier or any other man
in the tragedy,
The fact that Fourier has a
penitentiary record is we'll
known, but this cannot be used
as evidence to implicate him in
the Dahl affair, and it is even
said by some that this would
strengthen his defense, as they
put up the claim that wherever a
crime is mitted the first man
to be suspected of the commits
sion Of the crime is one who has
a bad record behind him, regard
less Of the evidence produced
against him.
However, there is little doubt
that at some time the mystery
will be cleared up and the guilty
parties unprecedented, but how
long this will take is very uncer-
tain, as those who know of the
murder are in parts unknown to
the authorities, and it may take
months to secure them.

Interesting Account of Shoot
ing Of William Garrison
by William Gardner.
JUDGE NJ. A. SPOONER WILL
HEAR TRIAL THIS FALL.
First Authentic Account of Incl.
dent Ever Published in
Northern Minnesota.

The following, as taken from
records of Court Stenographer
Cameron, the first authentic ac-
count of the shooting of William
Garrison by William Gardner,
and lends a very different light
upon the tradegy from the stories
published heretofore:
Joseph Gardner and William
Garrison were neighbors, living
within about two miles of each
other, in Township Ga, Range 20,
Itasca county. There had been
some feeling between the two
for several months prior to the
shooting, but no alteration of any
kind. Gardner had made threats
with respect to Garrison. and
Gardeners friends claim that
Garrison had also talked rashly
with regard to assaulting Gard
ner.
The killing occurred on the
18th of July, and the story as
CLEANED from the record taken
at the preliminary examination
Of Gardner, is about as follows:
It appears that Gardner re-
turned from Hibbing, a distance
of some fifty miles away, and

Murderers of N. @. Dahl and
Daughter AagOt Are Still
At Large.
NOT A SCRAP OF NEW EVIDENCE
HAS BEEN ADDUCED.
Perpetrators OF Most HeinOus
Crime in Northern Minnesota
May Go Unhanged.

Not the least scrap Of new evil
dence has been developed in the
famous Dahl murder case, and
although the authorities have
done everything within their
power to clear away the terrible
mystery, their efforts so far have
been entirely without result, and
it is not improbable that the
murderers will go unhanged.
1t is certain that some one I'M
der suspicion by the authorities
either has had something to do
with the crime or knows about it,
but the great obstacle that lies
in the path of justice is that they
have made good their escape and
nothing can be brought out that
would directly implicate anyone
in the crime. Fournier, the sus-
pect now being held at the county
jail, refuses to discuss the crime
even with the authorities, and he
cannot be brought to admit that
he had a hand in the affair or
knows anything about it. Even
in the face of the circumstantial
evidence which has been devel-
oped against him in the shape of
a piece of lace, buttons, ETC., he
remains sullen but awaits his
trial with tie belief that he will
be fully acquitted.
Indeed, it has been repeatedly
admitted by one of the county
officials who has been endeavor
ing to clear up the mystery that
the conviction of Fourier with
the small amount of circumstan-
tlal evidence now in his hands
would be we'll nigh impossible,
and that unless something more
we're developed before the pre-
llmlnary examination he would
without a doubt go scot free.
It's also stated upon the very
best Of auditority that ''Shorty''
has made good his escape and
not a trace Of him can be found.
He is one Of the men whom the
authorities think can shed a
light upon the mystery if his ar
rest is accomplished, but at pres
ent the indications are that it will
require a considerable length of
time to do this
1t is not given out by the
county attorney as to what action
he will take at F'ournier's hear
ing if additional evidence is not
secured before the date set, but
there IS little doubt that he will
move for an acquittal of the pris-
oner, as the law provides that a
man can be tried only once upon
the same offense and the only
charge that could be brought
against Fourier would be muir
der in the first degree.
Feeling in Bemidji, and in fact
throughout all northern Mime
sofa, is as strong as it can be
against the perpetrators of the
