FIRE WARDEN IN
REMIDJI
State Fire Warden Looking
the City Over This
Afternoon.
GOES. UP q PI'..7TI THE NORTH LINE T O..
FOR A FEW DAYS.
Causes of Forest Fires Being
Carefully Investigated by
G. c. Andrews.

State Fire Warden G..G.An-l
drews, Of st. Paul, was in the
city for a short time this after
noon looking oyer the conditions
here, on his way to Northome,
Blackjack and several other
north line towns. Mr.. Andrews
made a tour of inspection around
the city looked over the fire pro-
lection and says Bemidji is well
guarded against property loss
in this direction.
Mr.. Andrews visit to this sec
ton Of the state at this time is
for the purpose Of looking out for
forest fires which annually do a
great deal Of damage to the for
ests of the state. The law bear
ING on forest fires is very strict
and has resulted in their clirtail-
ment toa commendable degree,
but there are still a number Of
careless people who apparently
cannot learn that it does not pay
to be careless in the woods.
Several small forest fires are
now burning nearthis city. They
perhaps had their origin from
camp fires or from the careless
burning Of clearings and while
fires are not as dangerous at this
time of the year as later in the
summer when the woods are
dry they nevertheless do a very
great deal of damage.
Before returning to st. Paul
Mr.. Andrews will carefully in
spect the fire protection Of all up
line towns, and instruct the
deputy Wardens to increased
vigilance in preventing forest
fires.

TRAMP ACCUSED

John Berg Arrested FOR
Burning Great Northern
Bridge at Sheylin.
ARREST MADE BY SPECIAL
AGENT=BRITT=Y YESTERDAY
Strange Manner Of -ltinerant
Blacksmith Arouses Sus.
picion at SheYlin.

John Berg, an itinerant black
smith, who according to his.oWn
story is tramping through the
country, was arrested at Shevlin
Yesterday afternoon by Special
Agent Britt, Of the Great North.
ern, charged with the burning or
the bridge across the Little
Mississippi river, one mile and g
half east of Shevlin village, last
Monday afternoon and the conse-
ouent wrecking of the afternoon
passenger train.
Berg was brought to this city
last night and is now at the
county jail. No formal charge
has vet been preferred against
him, but detectives are carefully
investigating his connection with
the matter.
Berg's story is that he was
walking out Of Shevlin toward
this city and that he was on his
Way to the Iron range where ne
expected to be employed. He
did not notice that the bridge
was On fire until he was nearly
up to it. He went up and inves
tigated and found it burning.
Then he looked for something TO
throw water on the fire with but
did not find it and decided to re-
turn to Sheylin and give the
alarm. He knew that the pas
senger was due in a short time
and decided to remain at the
bridge and give the alarm. He
went down the embankment to
see if he could not devise some
way to put out the fire and just
as he was coming up he saw the
passenger approaching. He sig,
nailed the engineer TO stop, but
he was too late to be Of material
assistance in stopping the train
before it reached the bridge. lie
stoutly maintains his innocence
He has been drinking quit,
heavily for some time and is ap
parently typical tramp. Hii'
manner yesterday at Sheylil
aroused suspicion together witt
the confused stories he told 9
the affair and led upto his arrest
a new theory of the origin Q
the fire and the one which seem
to be most plausible is that tn
bridge was fired by
coal from the fire box OF tn
freight engine which passed ove1
it shortly after one o'clock.
