Beltrami County Summer

The summer training school

The school has been under the

work since it was convened July

assisted by Miss Honora Sutton,
of Alexandria and Miss Nellie r..
Merritt, of Brainerd.
Miss Sutton has been instruc-

Dear Sir:-I noticed in a re-

an article headed "F'isk won a
Contest which was very mis-
leading. Attorney Fisk was en-
gagged by me to handle this con-
test case referred to but was only
retained by me a day and a half
after which I engaged Attorney
H. j. Loud who had all the re-

Ness an Inventor.

G. Ness, Of Bemidji, is an in
ventor. Mr.. Ness has just been
advised that spring tooth Gull.
vator which he originated can be
patented. Mr.. Ness claims for
his invention that it is a vast i'm
provement over the cultivators
now in use and in that it will not
clog in new soil. His device has
an attachment which makes it
feasible for work IN small gar
dens and it can be narrowed or
Widened at will and will take two
or three rows alta time. AS soon
as the patent is received Mr..
Ness will begin the manufacture
of the implement here. Several
local parties have investigated
the device and finding it pos
sessed of genuine merit, will
assist him in financing the
venture.

Two Big Excursions Over
Great Northern to Be-
midi Tomorrow.
GRAND FORKS AND FARGO BALL
GAME DECLARED OFF.
Special Trains From St. Cloud
and LarimOre Will Arrive
Tomorrow Noon.

With favorable weather Be
midi should be hostess for at
least six thousand people tomor-
row, when two Of the largest ex-
cursions which have ever come to
this city will arrive over the
Great Northern from St. Cloud
and Larimore.
The trains will arrive in this
city shortly after noon and each
is expected to bring fully three
thousand people. They will be
accompanied by several bands
and the afternoon will be spent
in sight seeing about the city en-
joying the amusement possibili-
ties of Lakes Bemidji and Irving.
Both excursions have been liber-
ally advertised and come at a
season Of the year when they
should draw we'll from their re-
spective territories, Many of the
patrons Of tomorrow s event have
visited Bemidji before and are
we'll familiar with Bemidji and
the natural inducements it offers
for a days outing on a trip of
this kind. Grand Forks and
Crookston people are expected to
be the heaviest patrons of the ex-
cursion from the west and Wa
dena and the south line town be-
low it will probably bring the
bulk Of the visitors from the
south. There will also be large
attendances from Cass Lake and
Walker but local events will cur
tail the patronage from Park
Rapids, Akeley and several other
towns on the line.
The chief feature of amuse-
ment will be the ball game be-
tween Bemidji and Melrose. The
Melrose team with Bemidii en-
joys the distinction Of being one
of the two teams who have de-
feated the fast Sank Center team
during the present summer. The
game will be called promptly at
2:3O o'clock. The home team
will be the same as on the Fourth
Of July at Cass Lake with the ex-
ception Of the fact that Roy, who
has an injured hand will be out.
Finn will catch and the vacancy
on the team will be filled by
George Bongo, who is a brother
of che .Bongo now playing on the
team and is said to be we'll able
to deliver the goods.
The Grand Forks Fargo game
advertised for the excursion has
been called off. Both teams are
about ready to disband and as
they have made no arrangements
for the grounds it is improbable
that they will come for the game
as advertised.
Returning the excursion trains
will leave this city at 7:3O clock.

The jnry in the LeF.itte- Stoner
case, involving the transfer of
property and which through a
long term of litigation has become
famous yesterday returned a
verdict for LeF'itte in the United
States district court at Duluth.
The case was one of the hardest
fought legal battles which has
ever come before the u. S. dis
trict court in this district and
the latest decision makes a vic,
tory each for the defendant and
plaintiff, it having come to trial
several times. Mr.. Stoner will
appeal the case to the United
States circuit court of appeals
which will meet in St. Paul or

Caldwell and FOurnie, Held
For Dahl Murder Have
Arrangement.
PRELIMINARY HEARING SET
FOR AUGUST Is.
Little Evidence of a Substantial
Nature is Developed Against
Either Man.

Eugene Caldwell and Paul
Fournie, held for the murder of
N. 0. Dahl had a preliminary ar
raignment before Judge Rey-
holds yesterday afternoon. The
hearings were continued until
August 10. Bailey and Melon
aid haye been retained as attor-
neys for Fournie.
F0nrnie was brought down
from the county Jail shortly after
four o'clock. He is a man of
slight stature and very ordinary
appearance and seemed to be in
the best of spirits. After the
usual form had gone through he
chatted pleasantly with several
acquaintance in the court room
and accompanied Sheriff Bailey
back to the jail. He was not
handcuffed, and as his appear
ance in the court was not ex-
pected but few people saw him
on his way to the court room or
returning. Immediately upon
his return Caldwell was brought
down. Caldwell is quite another
type from Fournie. He does not
take the matter with the appar-
ent good grace manifested by
the Frenchman and had little to
say, in contrast to his conduct
after arrest and before.
The fixing Of the date of hear
ing as late as August Is was
deemed necessary by County
Attorney Loud. There is little
evidence of a substantial nature
against either man on which to
proceed. In the mean time some
thing may be developed that will
enable the state to present a
more positive case at the time of
the hearing. The evidence so
far at hand is for the most part
circumstantial.
The general opinion seems to
be that Caldwell is innocent of
any real connection with the
crime. He has told any mum Der
of conflicting stories, however,
and if he consents to talk and
to tell the truth it is believed that
he can give testimony which will
be sufficient to clear up the whole
affair. Fournie is close mouthed
and very shrewd and evidently
realizes that he has all the best
of the situation as it stands up to
the present time.
Closer Investigation develops
the fact that the crime for which
he did time in the state peniten-
tiary was grand larceny COM
mitted in ltasca county. He was
arrested after a running fight in
which he emptied his gun at the
sheritf's posse, convicted and
went to Saltwater for five years.
He was good prisoner and was
paroled after three years had
been served. The parole expired
in 1901.

with It's great plants at Buffalo, the
Lackawanna Steel Company is for
midable rival to the Steel Corporation
in the manufacture of structural steel.
Its finishing plants have been in opera
tion comparatively short time, but
the effect OF its competition has al
ready been felt keenly by its rivals.
Overtures were made recently by
the beam association to the Lackawan-
ma company. but the latter declined
the offer OF membership on the plea
that pool agreements were no longer
kept. The associations price OF $3.50
a 101 weight at Pittsburg has been
reduced by the new company TO $l.35

Will also be directed against the Re-
public Iron and Steel Company, and It
is felt that the next reduction will be

company is now in belllgerent mood.
Although the reductions in wire pro-
ducts was given out officially, still
more extensive cuts are permitted by
the corporation. 1t has issued secret
orders to agents to book wire business
at any price. in order to protect their
customers against the Pittsburg Steel

PORT ARrHus MUST FALL.
Japanese Renew Attack from Land at
Close Quarters

What is taken to be the final assault
on Port Arthur by the Japanese was
begun on the 18th. ON the land
side and from the sea the great guns
battered all day at the fortiilcatlons,
according to word that has been re.
ceived In Chifu from several authori.

The attack was not q new one. for
additional Information Is that the
assault has been continuous from the
land side since the desperate sortie
of the Russian fleet which ended so
dlsastrously. The japanese are now
said to be only three miles from the
inner fortificatlons. occupying two
strong positions within that distance.
The recent losses on both sides are
said to have been enormous.
