STATE LACKS EVIDENCE
ACTION AGAINST WESLEY FOR
THE MURDER OF THE DAHLs
LIKELY TO BE DISMISSED.
Special to The Journal.

Bemidji, Mimi, Sept. 2O.-The September term
of the district court for Beltrami county is in
session, Judge Spooner presiding The term will
be remarkable for the large, number Of criminal
cases, no less than twenty persons being in Jail
two on the charge of murder and eighteen on
charges of serious nature.
1t Is probable that no term Of court has ever
been held in any county in northern Minnesota
with SO long criminal calendar in which the
crimes alleged are of the major sort.
The principal interest in the term centers in
the case Of Shorty Wesley, accused of the
murder of N. o. Dahl and his daughter, Aagot
that Wesley will be discharged without being
brought to trial, owing to lack of any tangible
evidence against him. The other defendants
will probably stand trial except Fred Foote who
confessed to the shooting Of Matt Cannon at
Beaudette last spring. The full list is as fol-

mine swindle. and 1T is reported that the pro-
moters profits in one small community amount
to about $4,000.
The man with the mine for sale was really
a genius, with thoro understanding Of human
nature. When he appeared In this section he
singled out the pastor of prosperous rural con-
gregation. He laid his scheme before the min
lister in glowing terms, pointing out its adj
,vantages and glorious prospects, and SO glibly
did he talk of assayer's reports and quick divi-
dends that he soon overcame the scruples and
timidity Of the confidng churchman, and had
the good dominic laboring diligently with his
flock.
At first the parishioners were distrustful, but
the preachers eloquence finally them over
and they then grew more enthusiastic than theiI
