summer meeting at the New England

of Claims.

The committee that is investi
eating the charges against Com
missioners Wright and Sibley re-
convened at the court house this
afternoon at 2 O'Clock. The state
rested its case Saturday evening
and the attorneys for the de-
tense have examined witnesses
this afternoon.
The only witnesses put on the
stand were w. E. Mckenzie of
the Crookston Times and r. w.
Hitchcock Of the Pioneer. Mr..
Mckenzie testified as to the cor.
RICHNESS of the measurement OF
the official primary and the gen
eral election ballots for the year
1904. The bill allowed for the
worklby the county com mission
ers called for 1873 folios for the
primary ballot and 337 folios for
state and county ballots. Mr..
Mckenzie measured the type and
found that according to his meas.
urement there were 1913 folios IN
the primary ballot and 3l9 in the
state and county.
Mr.. Hitchcock testified as to
the amount charged for the work.
Upon cross examination by the
state he testified that the prices
charged for the work we're rea-
sonable.

Much Speculation as to Who
Will Be Appointed County
Attorney.
GIBBONS, RUSSELL AND FUNK.
LEY POSSIBLE APPOINTEES.
appointment of LIQUIDS Successor
May Depend on Outcome of
Investigation.

Since the resignation of H. j..
Loud as county attorney, there
has been a great deal speculation
throughout the entire county as
to who will be appointed to fill the
vacancy. Many wild rumors
have been afoat, some of them to
the effect that Mr.. LIQUIDS re.
signation was simply a part OF a
political "deal' that promulgated
months ago. Other rumors are
to the effect that his resignation
was because the Office did not
pay enough salary and that he in
tended to take in a very promi-
nent legal light as a partner in
business. AS yet he has given
out nothing as a reason for the
resignation.
There are number of Bemid il
attorneys that have been talked
of as possible successors to Mr..
Loud, and from present indica-
tions there are three candidates
for the position. John Gibbons,
Of the law firm of Glib bons & Tor
rance, has been spoken of by a
large number Of people as a good
man for the place. P. J. Russell
is also talked of. 1t is possible
that if Henry Funkley were offer
ed the position he would accept.
Neither of these men care to dis
cuss the matter but from the
tone of their talk it would seem
that neither would refuse the ap-
pointment.
1t is very probable that the ap
pointment of successor to Mr..
Loud will depend largely on the
outcome of the Investigation now
in progress. Should Messrs.
Wright and Sibley be removed,
there will be two new member
appointed on the board of county
commissioners, and as it is very
uncertain who will be chosen as
the new members, it is conse-
quently uncertain who will be
chosen county attorney.
1t is understood that Mr..
LIQUIDS resignation is in the
hands of r. A. Stone, assistant
attorney general. that it will be

lice and was not one of the
Spooner crowd. There had long
been bad blood between the men
and Cannon had threatened
Foote'S life that day.
F'oote came to this conclusion
yesterday afternoon, when
Sheriff Bailey returned from
Baudette, where he subpoenaed
six witnesses on the case. The
names of the witnesses that were
subpoenaed are Thos. Cathcart,
Jr., John France, VIM. Young,
John Evarts, J. B. Montague and
John McAffery. Most of them
are residents of Spooner.
The decision of Foote in decid.
ing to await the action of the
grand jury without a preliminary
examination is considered signi-
fcant inasmuch as it goes to
show that he practically admits
that there may be evidence
against him that would connect
him with the murder. Up to
yesterday afternoon he main
tanned stoutly that he had no
connection with the crime, but
since Sheriff Bailey returned he
refuses to talk about the crime
at all.
Sheriff. Bailey stated this
afternoon that there was every
reason to believe that Foote was
the man who fired the fatal shot.
While not wishing to give out the
exact nature. of the testimony
that would be used against Foote
at the trial, Mr.. Bailey intimated
that there would be ample proof
to show that Foote'S actions on,
the night of the killing were
suspicious enough to warrant his
arrest on the charge of murder.
"Since looking into the affair
more closelv," said Mr.. Bailey,
ri am more than eyer convinced
that we have the right man, and
while the evidence must neces.
sarily be circum stantial to a large
extent, I believe that it will be
strong enough to convict Foote
of the crime" g..
The six witnesses that were
subpoenaed will not be brought
to Bemidji before the trial of
FOOte.

Last Thursday evening. May II, a
reception was given by the ladies of
the Presbyterian church of Kenne-
wick in honor of their minister, Rev.
r. II. Dry, and his family. The
church was very homelike in appear
ance, the platform and walls being
very tastefully decorated with flow
ers and the floor covered with rugs.
The evenings program was opened
by a few choice selections from the
Kennewick band, after which there
were several special selections of
music consisting of solos, duets and
quartets, all of which were rendered
by the musical talent of the city.
Refreshments were served to about
$50 people. Short addresses were
given by the ministers of the city at
the close of the evenings entertain
ment.
Rev. T. H. Dry took charge of this
mission field about one year ago,
with church membership of only
eight and Sunday school enroll
ment of twenty-five. While he de-
voted but one-half of his time to
this field, yet through the united eff
fort of tibet minister and church the
present church membership, after al
lowing for six removals, is thirty
eight, while the Sunday school at
tendance is seventy. The outlook
for the future of the church is very
promising.
