Shorty, Man Wanted By
Bemidji Authorities, For
merly Lived There.
WAS EMPLOYED AS COOK DUR.
ING WINTER MONTHS.
Left CrOOkstOn in January to Re.
turn to the Blackjack
Country.

Croozston Journal: "Shorty'
Wesley, the Blackjack home
steader who disappeared from
that locality so mysteriously last
spring and for whom active search
is now being made by the police
throughout the country, spent a
portion of last winter in the city
and is quite we'll known among
certain circles in the city. Yves
ley while in the city was en-
ployed by Robert Casmey, Jr.,
of this city as cook and presided
over the kitchen of a bachelors
hall which Casmey ran on south
Main street. He attended to the
work in connection with the po-
sition for some two months or
more leaving finally for the
Blackduck country where he
owned valuable claim, or at
least was supposed to have an in
terest in one.
Wesley while here managed to
accumulate considerable amount
of unsavory repute and became
mixed up in several little scraps
and brawls which did not attain
sufficient size to get into the po-
lice court. After going to the
Blackjack country he wrote sew,
eral letters back here to young
women of the city with whom he
became acquainted, but since
early spring no news whatever
has been received from him.
That he passed through here
however, is quite certain and it
is equally certain that some time
he lived at Grand Forks. Sheriff
Bailey, who is upon his trail has
gone as far north as the boun-
Diary, but has as yet been unsuc
cessful in landing his man and it
may be possible that Wesley has
taken to the tall timber across
the line and is safely in hiding in
the Kings domain. He is wanted
for completely in the Dahl MUIR
der at During and it is believed
that his apprehension will throw
much light upon the mysterious
affair.

What's in a Name?

Everything is in the name
when it comes to Witch Hazel
Salve. 3. C. Dewitt & Co., Of
Chicago, discovered some years
ago how to make a salve from
Witch Hazel that is a specific for
piles. For blind, bleeding, itch
ing and protruding piles, eczema,
cuts, burns, bruises and all skin
diseases, DeWitt's Salve has no
equal. This has given rise to
numerous worthless counter
feits. Ask for De Wits the
genuine. Sold by 3. a. Barker.

LUNATIC in TOWN
Wisconsin Man Thought Would
Be Lynched and Was Ar.
rested By Authorities.

Thos. Lawton, who has been
stopping at the fremont Hotel in
this city for the past week, was
arrested by the authorities yes
terday afternoon and brought be-
fore Judge Clark last night on a
charge of insanity. He was
proven guilty, but as he is not a
resident of the state it is not
known whether he will be COM
mitted to Fergus Falls or turned
over to the authorities of Wiscon-
sin, where he formerly made his
home.
The man seems to have a de-
fusion that some one is after him
and trying to lynch him. and told
a number of people yesterday not
to allow them to accomplish their
purpose. He is at present con-
fined in the county jail, and still
seems to think that some one is
after him. Judge Clark will leave
tonight for St. Paul, where he
will confer with the state board
of insanity regarding the DISPOSE
ton of the ]unatic.

Mrs. Geo. Duffy Leaves Hus-
band With BrOther-in-LaW
for Parts Unknown.
WOMAN TAKES TWO CHILDREN
WITH HER.
The Parties Boarded Great North
ern Train at I2:4O O'Clock
Monday Night.

5 Mrs. George Duffy left Be
midi in company with her
brother in-law on the east bound
Great Northern train Monday
night, and it is feared by her
husband and neighbors that she
has eloped. Mrs. Duffy's two
children accompanied her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Duffy came to
this city from Cass Lake and he
has been employed at the Crooks
ton Lumber company's electric
plant. He came home yesterday
morning to find his wife and two
children missing, and upon in
quiry among neighbors learned
that they had departed the night
before in company with one Nor.
ton, a miller who was staying
at their home, and who was
brother in-law to Mrs. Duffy.
Duffy had received no word
from his wife about her depar-
ture, and is consequently almost
certain that she left for no good
purpose. He is very angry about
the circumstance, but as yet has
taken no steps to arrest the cou-
pie, and it is not known whether
or not he will do anything to
bring back his wife.
Mr.. Duffy has been steady
workman at the mill and has car
ried himself in an upright man
ner since he came to this city,
and no reason for his wife's &C
ton is given. 1t is said by some
of the neighbors that Mrs. Duffy
claimed that her husband abused
her, but this is taken to be un-
true by those who know the gen
tleman personally.

WILLCLAIM LANDS
State Will Contend That Large
Areas of Reservations Are
Swamp Tracts.

The state of Minnesota will
lay claim to large areas of valu-
able land which the government
will sell under sealed bids, in
compliance with the Morris act
Of 1902, opening up the Mime
sofa Indian reservations and pro-
viding for the sale of the timber.
Bids for the remaining timber
will be opened at the Cass Lake
land office Nov. Is. At the for
mer sales State Auditor Iverson
entered protest against the
sale of large areas in several
townships, which the state claims
as swamp land under the act of
1860.
He won out in several cases
and there are several pending.
In the official PRONUNCIATION of
the sale to take place Nov. IS,
Secretary of the Interior Hitch
cock recognizes the claim of the
state of Minnesota and says that
it has the privilege of entering it's
claim and proving it's right to
lands claimed as swamp.
Surveyor General Warner will
soon submit lists of the lands on
the Fond du Lac, Bots Fort, Deer
Creek. Red Lake and Leech Lake
reservations.

Sheriff Bailey Returns.

Sheriff Bailey returned last
night from points along the Rainy
River. where he has spent the
past few days. Mr.. Bailey stat
ed to the Pioneer this afternoon
that he was not looking for
"Shorty" Wesley, but went to
the border on entirely different
business, and that all the news
paper talk to the contrary was
bosh. He stated, however, that
much work was being done on
the Dahl case, and that the per-
petrators would undoubtedly be
located before many moons.

Night But Department Ar.
rived Too Soon.


The Northern hotel was set
atire last night by unknown in
cendiaries, but before the blaze
could obtain much of a start the
fire department. was on the scene
and the flames were quenched.
The building was ignited in two
different places, in front and on
the west side, and punches of
waste saturated with oil were
used in starting the blaze. The
incendiaries have not been ap-
pretended, and no clue as to who
fired the building has been de-
velOped.

Paul Gilmore IN the Mumming-En-

Paul Gilmore and his company
gave rendition Of the light comedy
drama, "The Mumm9 and the Hum
ming Bird" at the Brooks last night.
The work of Gilmore is sharply de
fined. The Mummy" as given by
him IS the Drew version. Gilmore
should. however, pull out of Il and
give his time to "The Tyranny oI
Tears" where his zestful qualities
are given fun scope. The play las.
night was nicely mounted and the cast
was well put up, the feminine end
being especially praiseworthy. The
Gilmore idea appears to be to crowd
time. since there Is a dreadful emas-
