Reported Lynching.

A report was circulated yester.
day afternoon in Turtle River to
the effect that an attempt had
been made to lynch Fourier,
the Dahl suspect, and Andy
Clavin of this city was called up
over the telephone and asked
about the matter. It seems that
the people of Turtle River had
gained the impression that
Fourier had been shot, as in
quiries were made as to how
badly he had been wounded,
where he was shot, etc. They
were informed, however. that no
attempt had been made, and that
he was resting quietly at the
county Jail.

BIG GUNS
Party of High Officials of Great
Northern Passed Through
City Yesterday.

Vice President Louis Hill Of
the Great Northern, and General
Superintendent Thilbin of the
Eastern division, and a number
of wealthy gentlemen from New
York were the occupants of a
special car which passed through
the city yesterday afternoon en-
route to Grand Forks, where Mr..
Hills car was switched to the
Northern Pacific track for St.
Paul. The other cars of the train
were attached to the regular west
bound passenger.
Mr.. Hill thinks that the ship

will be somewhat light owing to

but that the average farmer will

EVIDENCE
SECURED
Piece of Shirt Sleeve Found
Near Spot Where Dahl
Body Was Discovered.
SHIRT FROM WHICH 1T WAS
TORN IN FOURNIER'S CABIN.
Shorty" Said to Be Located And
Sheriff Bailey Has Gone TO
Arrest Him.

Another scrap of evidence
which the authorities think will
aid in duplicating Paul Fourier
in the Dahl tragedy was recently
developed in the shape of piece
of a mans shirt sleeve found
near the spot where the body of
N. O. Dahl, the murdered home
steader, was unearthed. The
shirt from which it was torn was
found in Fournier's cabin.
It is also stated upon good au.
thority that "Shorty" has been
located and that he is at present
in hiding in the Rainy River coun-
try. Sheriff Bailey left the first
of the week, and although his
destination could not be learned,
it is thought that he will bring
"Shorty" with him upon his re-
turn to this city.
The preliminary hearing Of
Caldwell and Fourier, held on
suspicion of connection with the
murder of N. O. Dahl and Miss
Aagot Dahl last April was to
have been held this morning but
at the last momentit was decided
to continue Fournier's hearing
for thirty days. Caldwell was
dismissed.
A good deal of criticism has
been heaped upon the county au-
thorities because more arrests
have not been made and evidence
secured which would clear up the
mystery and lead to the punish
ment of the guilty parties. It is
felt by good many people chat
the authorities have not pursued
the proper course and that more
vigorous action would have re-
suited in clearing Beltrami
county of the dark stain which
this foul crime has cast upon it.
The authorities, however, have
been interchangeable in the matter,
have traced up every clue, have
arrested every one against whom
there was any suspicion and have
put the suspects through the
most rigid course of cross ques-
tioning. It has been all to no
purpose, however, and it has been
an open secret that no tangible
evidence whatever has been
secured.
The continuation of the case
for thirty days will hold Four
nier until the grand jury meets
next month and the whole matter
will probably be taken up by that
