Nymore Woman Circulates
Anti-Sal0On Petition
Among Residents.
WIFE is ANGRY BECAUSE HUS.
BAND PLAYED SMEAR.
Goes Into Saloon After Hubble
and Then Starts Movement
Against Saloons.

A petition is being circulated
among the people of Nymore re-
questing the state authorities to
enforce the state law in that new
town regarding the closing of
saloons at II o'clock at night and
closing side doors on Sundays.
The petition has met with some
favor with portion of the people
of the town, but the saloon
element bitterly opposes it and
the statement was made yester-
day by one of the fraternity that
the matter would be carried as
far as possible.
A woman was the cause of all
the trouble. Her husband was
out rather late the other evening,
and his wife went to search for
him. She found him in one of
the refreshment parlors playing
a game Of smear. She took him
home and the next day drew up
the petition, and has been un-
usually busy ever since circulat-
ing the paper among the good
people Of Nymore.
The petition has not as yet
been forwarded to the authori-
ties, but it is said that should
they grant the request of the
signers it will have the effect of
compelling Bemidji saloon
keepers to conform to the state
law also.

Sentiment in Bemidji Strong
Against Murderers ON.
0. and Aagot Dahl.
PERPETRATORS SHOULD RE.
CEIVE EXTENT OF LAW.
No New Evidence Has Been De-
veloped But Sheriff Bailey
is After Shorty

The feeling in Bemidji against
the murderers of N. 0. Dahl and
Aagot Dahl is even stronger at
the present time than at the time
the bodies were discovered, if
this is possible, and many ex-
pressions are heard on the
streets daily which indicate that
should the real perpetrators Of
the crime be found it will fare i'll
with them.
From one end Of the city to the
other, nothing but hate is ex-
pressed for the murderers, and
the opinion of all classes is that
no punishment could be melted
out that would be too great for
those who had hand in the
affair.
The absence of any proof
which would implicate any one
person in the crime tends to
strengthen the public feeling,
and as time goes on without any
new evidence being discovered
the people seem to grow more
restless. The authorities have
been unusually vigilant in their
search. Every means in their
power to bring to justice the
murderers have been pursued,
but so far unsuccessfully. They
have not given up, however, and
the search is being continued as
diligently as on the first day
after the disappearance.
Sheriff Bailey is even now
upon the trail of Shorty" who
is supposed to know something
that would clear away the mys-
terry, and will follow the man to
Europe if necessary. Nothing
has been heard from him in the
last few days, but it is known
that he will not give up the chase
until his man is landed in the
county jail in this city and he ex-
plains all he knows about the
disappearance.

Trap Sprung Two Minutes After
Condemned Man Was Led From
Jail.-NO Relatives or Friends
Present at Hanging.-Body Was
Buried at Walker Today.

At 1:O7 O'Clock this morning
VIM. Chounard was executed at
Walker for the murder of his
wife at Cass Lake last January.
He walked to the gallows unas-
sisted, repeated the Lords
Prayer, allowed the moose to be
fastened around his neck and
was swung to eternity, the law
fully satisfied.
The murderer was little pale,
but held up throughout the affair
without the slightest motion be-
ing manifested. He did not finch,
had nothing to say before death,
but died without so much as a
word in his behalf.
Twenty deputies we're in the
cell when the prisoner was led
out at los. Father Murphy told
him to be brave, and Chounard
promised that he would. Sheriff
Hardy led the procession to the
steps of the scaffold, two priests
came next, the prisoner and two
deputies following them. They
walked up the steps to the plat
form, no hand of assistance being
rendered to Chounard. When
they reached the scaffold Father
Murphy knelt and repeated the
) Lords Prayer, Chounard repeat
in it with him. Father Murphy
spoke for the condemned man
and said that he had nothing to
say. The hood was put over the
body and the arms and legs of
the condemned man were tightly
strapped to his side. The moose
was then put around his neck by
a deputy, Chounard looking
around at him as he fastened the
rope. The hood was then pulled
over his head, and as soon as it
was fastened the trap fell, being
exactly seven minutes past one
O'CLOCK, and two minutes after
the condemned man was led from
the cell.
The body hung there until 1:13
when DR.. Wilcox made an exam

was extinct. After a short ex-
animation: he said, "There is no

pulse, gentlemen" He found
that his neck was broken in
stantly. The body hung there
until 1:28, when DR.. Wilcox made
another examination, after which
all those who we're present left
the scene. The execution was
successful in every way, not the
least hitch occurring during the
entire proceeding.
The body will be buried at
Walker this afternoon by the
county authorities of Cass county
and the funeral exercises will be
under the auspices of the Catho
lie church, Rev. Father Murphy
officiating.
VIM. Chounard was born in
southern Minnesota in the year
1878, and spent his early life in
towns in that part of the state.
He attended the public schools at
Little Falls for mum Der of years
and afterwards spent part of a
year at St. Johns College, neal
St. Cloud. He learned to play
piano while quite young and af-
forwards made it a profession,
playing in saloons and houses of
illfame. He came to Bemidii six
years ago and followed up his
profession in this city for two
years. He met the woman whom
he afterwards married in Be-
midi, and in short time went
to Cass Lake.
There he also furnished music
for saloons and disreputa BILE
houses for some time, the woman
working at various occupations.
Afterwards they bought out one
Of the houses there and run it
until the time of the murder last
January.
He was Immediately arrested
by the police OF Cass Lake and
turned over to Sheriff. Hardy,
and at the preliminary hearing
was bound over to the grand jury.
He was indicted by that body
last spring and after the trial
with which all are familiar, re.
ceived his sentence at Walker
April 20 of the present year.
Judge Spooner of this city pro-
nounced the death sentence.
After the trial a petition was
circulated by his mother and
sister, and received thousands of
signers throughout northern
Minnesota, but when the petition

was presented to the board Of
pardons it was denied.
Chounard's attorneys also
made numerous efforts to have
the sentence changed to life i'm
prisonment, and recently made a
motion before the supreme court
for a stay of execution. The
motion was denied, and upon ex-
animation of the evidence found
that not the slightest error had
been made by the court through
out the trial, and that death was
the only sentence that could be
pronounced.

LOCAL POLITICS
WHO FOR POLICE CHEF.
POLITICAL WORKERS TRY TO
DOPE OUT PROBABLE APP
POINTEEs OF CANDIDATES FOR
MAYOR.

There is considerable discussion in
political circles as to who would be
appointed chief Of police in the event
Of the election Of any one of the pres
ent leading mayoralty candidates. The
position pays $500 a year, and Is
considered pretty choice political
plum.
Friends of John O'Donnell, the
state labor commissioner, recently
presented that gentleman's name to
Dr.. U. G.. williams as the man for the
appointment should the doctor be sue
cessful. The fact that O'Donnell's
refusal to enter the n1ayoralty race,
tho pressed hard by friends to do SO,
was explained to DR.. Williams as
would have secured his strength from
the same element which is now with
Williams. Gordon Bright has also
been talked Of as a chief Of police
aspirant under Williams. A political
worker, very close to the coroner's
plans, positively asserts, however, that
neither Of these men would secure
the appointment in event OF DR.. VII
liams success; that DR.. Williams al
ready has somebody else slated In his
mind for the place.
When D. P. Jones was mayor be-
fore he appointed Waite chief OF
police. It is hardly probable that Mr.
Waite would think of taking the place
again, as he has resumed the practice
Of law and built up a fine practice
The gossipers haven't connected any
name with the position under Jones:
If Orville Rinehart, the anti-admin'
istration and Municipal Ownership
League democratic aspirant fol
mayor, should be successful, it seems
likely he would offer the place tt

with the police force, but now heat

DR.. Nelson has apparently been too
short a space Of time in the HELD TO

slate of prospective appointments

elected he would reinstate Chief Con

A. j. Smith, assistant United States
district attorney, today filed the re-
port Of the commissioners appointed
to appraise and condemn the property
desired for the enlargement of the

This Is nearly $4,000 more than the
amount Of the original appropriation
$40, 0O0-but Mr.. Smith says he

be accepted, to be repaid later.
