DECISION is
AFFIRMED
Judge Spooner Sustained in
Supreme Court in Case
of NeilS VS.. Hines.

Attorney. b. r. Crawford has
recently returned from st. Paul,
where he appeared and present
ed arguments before the supreme
court in the case of J. Neils Lum-
Der company VS.. VIM. NJ. Hines,
which was decided for the de-
PENDANT by Judge Snooner at the
fall term of district court. The
case involved title to logs which
were cut down by the lumber
company upon land which was
afterwards purchased by Mr..
Hines. The facts in the case are
as follows: The land and tim Der
originally was owned by the
Northern Pacific railway COM
pany, who sold it to the Scanlon-
Gibson Lumber company.
The timber was afterwards
transferred by them to the j..
NeiLs Lu mber company, who took
timber deed upon the standing
pine, and the land was sold to one
Ludwig. Ludwig afterwards
transferred the title to the land
to VIM. M. Hines. The J. Neils
company installed lum Der camps
upon the land and cut down the
timber, putting their stamp
mark upon the ends. Upon legal
advice Mr.. Hines sawed off the
ends Of the logs and placed his
mark upon them, claiming the
logs by virtue of the fact that
they were situated upon his
land. The lumber company
brought suit to recover the logs
and the case was argued in dis
district court last fall, Judge
Spooner rendering a decision for
the defendant. It was appealed
to the supreme court, where the
decision was upheld.
The case is one of the most
important ever tried in the
county, as it establishes a pre-
cedent which will be followed by
the courts of the state in cases
of a similar nature.

Well Known Character About
Walker Found Tuesday
Frozen to Death.
WAS IN WALKER DURING PRE-
VIOUS EVENING.
Left for Reservation Alone After
OHaying Imbibed Rather Freely
in Liquor.

Wayne Canine, an Indian
squaw who,is we'll known in Wal
ker, was found dead in snow
drift short distance from that
city on Tuesday morning. She
had been in Walker the evening
previous and had taken a number
of drinks Of Whiskey and when
she started out for the reserva-
tion alone was in an intoxicated
condition. 1t is thought that she
wandered out of her path, finally
lying down in the snow drift
which caused her death.
The squaw was a full blooded
Indian and has made the reserva-
ton her home for many years.
She was we'll known to the people
of Walker and visited that city
freq uently buying groceries and
other provisions with which to
supply her tepee.
She became addicted to the
liquor habit, however, and of late
has became intoxicated anumber
of times but always managed to
make her way home. She drank
larger amount than usual the
last time, however, and it is
thought that this, combined with
the intense cold that prevailed,
served to benunb her, causing
her to lie down in the snow drift.
The remains Of the squaw will
be turned over to the Indian Off.
cials on the reservation for burial.

NEW TOWNSHIP
ON MUD LAKE
Farm of Peter Malterud Will
Be Site of Town on New
Railway Line.

F..
A townsite has been plated on
the homestead of Peter Malterud
situated at the southwest corner
of Mud Lake, directly north of
Lake Julia, The spot upon which
the new town will be located is on
the survey Of the new Red Lake
railway and is said to be an ideal
place for a city. Other townsites
are being contemplated and it is
probable that three or four towns
will be located along the line be-
tween Bemidji and Red Lake.

ANOTHER
SAWMILL
Rumors Are That Bemidji
Will Have Another Manu-
featuring Institution.
MINNEAPOLIS MEN SAID TO BE
THE PROMOTERS.
c. A. Smith, Interested in New
Railway, Claimed to Have
Building in View.

A rumor which has gained
some credence among business
men of Bemidji is to the effect
that with the coming of spring
the erection of another large
sawmill in this city will be COM
menced.
The belief that the new Red
Lake. Minneapolis & Manitoba
railway now under construction
would result in the establishment
of several industrial enterprises
has been prevalent for some time
past, but no definite statement
can even now be gained from
those who are thought to be the
promoters of the new mill.
G. A. Smith, the Minneapolis
lum berman. is the owner of sew
eral hundreds of~acres of valu-
able timber lands in the country
traversed by the new railway and
it is stated by those who claim
to have inside information that
he will be at the head of a COM
pany which will erect a lum Der
mandatory in this city in order
to save thecost of transporting his
logs by rail to Minneapolis,
which would cost considerably
more than if they were taken to
this city, sawed into lum Der and
afterwards transported to the
markets.
The establishment of another
large mill in this city would re-
suit in the employment of hun
dreds of men and would be a
direct benefit to every business
man in Bemidji.
Notwithstanding these reports,
it is believed by some that Mr..
Smith, upon the completion If
the road, will ship his. logs
through to Minneapolis. If this
proves to be true the road will
injure the city in that it will take
away much of the raw material
which would otherwise be manu-.
featured at the mill now in opera
tion here, thus cutting down the
supply of tim Der and shortening
the life of the present establish
ment.

EXTENSION
Bemidji Man Thinks Com.
ing Year Will See Road
Pushed to Superior.

SIS y
The new year may bring Be
midi a line of the $500" rail
road. This is the rather empa-
THO statement made the other
day by a well known business
man.
The $500" he said, has got to
get to the head of the lakes from
its increasing territory in the
Red River valley. Already it
has terminal provisions atSuper-
Tor through the South Shore
roads property. It is announced
that the $500" will build 500
miles of road in the state next
year and arrangements are being
made to that end.
The only successful way to get
into Superior is from the south
and should a cross line be built
from some point north of Glen
wood on the Canadian branch the
most practical route would bring
it through here. The grades and
.sWamps to the north and the
necessity Of having to swing
south to get into Superior are
arguments in favor of this route.
Let US hope he is right.

The Time to Make Love.

The time to make love to woman.
II yol want her to listen, my lad.
Is when she's little bit weary
And just little bit sad.
Don't try when she's flushed with sue

And eager for action and strife,
When she stands with her hand on the
throttle
or tile painting engine of life.
But wait till she's tasted of failure
At the going down of the sun.
When she finds that universe changing
Is mt so easily done;
When she faces her own limitations
And looks at them square In the Dyes
And finds she Is only q woman
VITA powers Of moderate size.
Alone in the twilight then seek her
And tell her, with tenderest smile.
That worrying over vexed questions
Is fir from being worth while
Such things without doubt are most
proper
For spinsters whose charms are but
lew
But what she, divineiy. was made for
Was Just to be lovedby you.
She will change career for caresses,
No, find the alternative bad.

And Just a little bit sad.
