Insane Man Last Night
Thinks He is Taking Mes

THOUGHT TELEPHONE GIRLS
WERE BEING CHOKED.
Called to Police, Who Took Him
in Charge and Landed Him
in County Jail.

The police were attracted to
the corner of Beltrami avenue
and Third street. last night by
the cries of a man who evidently
was in great distress and who
thought that he could hear the
cries of girls at the telephone
Office that they were being
choned to death. The man was
gesticulating in a wild manner
when the police approached him
and as they came up shouted at
the top of his voice that he could
plainly hear supplications for aid
from the young ladies at the tele-
phone exchange and babe them
hurry to the rescue.
One of the police went to the
Office and found that everything
was alright but after he emerged
the man seemed to still carry the
delusion and was in terrible
agony at not being in a position
to aid those he imagined were be-
ing tortured. The officers sus-
pected that something was wrong
with the man and took him in
charge and he is at present rest
ing in the county jail awaiting
the action of the probate court.
The man is a stranger in the
city and when seen this morning
was not in a condition to give his
name to the authorities.

Warm Contest For County
Attorney Won By County
Attorney Loud.
MANY PRECINCTS NOT YET
HEARD FROM.
Register of Deeds Is Very Close
and Result in
Doubt.

Although not more than one
half of the precincts in the coun-
ty have thus far been heard from
the winners in the primary cleo
ton contest may not be picked
with comparative certainty.
The contest which attracted
the most general attention and
which brought out the greatest
effort was that for county attor-
ney. At three o'clock this afte1-
noon it was still possible for
any one Of the three candidates
to win out although County Attor-
ney Loud has a lead of over 100
and is probably renominated.
None Of the towns north and west
of Blackduck have been heard
from and Mr.. F'unkley thinks
that they may give him. enough
town the nomination. This is not
generally believed however. At
three o'clock with all the large
precincts in the vote stood, Loud
683, Gibbons SIS, Funkley 494.
The Red Lake vote of two to one
for Loud received shortly after
noon practically settled the mat
ter in the minds of all.
The contest which is now ab-
sorbing the attention of all is that
for register of deeds. Each of
the four candidates is deyelop-
ing a good vote, with Harris,
Phibbs and SWed back running
neck and neck for the goal. So
many precincts are missing that
it is impossible to predict the re-
suit. Phibbs carried the city
against Swed back by the narrow
plurality of twenty but Harris
has made big gains throughout
the county. At 3 o'clock official
returns and reliable information
gave Phibbs a lead of one vote
over Harris, the vote standing
Phibbs 429, Harris 429, Swed
back $50, McIver $50.
For representative reliable re-
ports from Clearwater and Red
Lake counties show that Simons
is reelected by good majority.
Maryland carried Bemidji by "a

ing Maryland 800, Simons $40.

Judge Spooner Sits at Court
House Today-One Case
Disposed OF.
GRAND JURY HAS RETURNED NO
INDICTMENTS AS YET.
Case of SchaulS VS.. GagnOn, TAX
ing Attention Of Court
This Afternoon.

September term of district
court for Beltrami county was
begun at the court house this
morning, Judge Spooner presid-
ing, and the court has settled
down to business in earnest.
No business was transacted This
forenoon and so far this after
noon one case has been disposed
of and another is in course of
trial.
The grand jury was called to
order this morning but nothing
was done by that body during
the forenoon. This afternoon
they also have gotten to work
and before a day is past it is ex-
pected that several indictments
will be made.
The first case to take up the
attention of the court was No. 3
on the calendar, that of M. A.
Dacey VS.. G. B. Albrant. The
plaintiff failed to appear and the
case was dismissed upon a mo-
ton by the defendant.
The case of Frank Schauls VS..
Frank Gagnon is under trial by
jury this afternoon. Schauls,
the plaintiff, alleges in the com
plant that during the time he
rented Gagnon's building at the
corner of Minnesota avenue and
Second street certain repairs
we're made to the building at the
instance of the defendant and
that while the repairs we're under
way his saloon business was dam
aged to some extent. He claims
damages against Gagnon upon
this ground. Bailey & McDon-
aid represent Schauls in the case
while P. j. Russell appears for
Gagnon.
The next case on the calendar,
that Of Henry Buenther VS.. the
State Board of Game and Fish
Commissioners is perhaps the
most important in public interest
of any to come up for trial at the
present term. Mr.. Buenther
has had several disputes with the
board and has each time been
sustained by the court.
