DR.. L. A. Ward and E. A.
Barker Make Proposition
to Citizens.

Providing that other citizens of
the city will join with them, DR..
L. A. Ward and E. A. Barker will
give 500 to 5000 to promote the
establishment Of a paper and
pulp mill in Bemidji 81 under
stand that a Wisconsin firm in
tends to erect pulp mill in Be-
midi" said DR.. Ward, "but un-
less a paper mill is combined
with the establishment it will
not be of very great benefit to the
city. What we want is a plant
that will turn out the finished
product. If the business men of
the city each gave a couple hun
dred dollars the total amount
would be enough to give a COM
pany pretty good start toward
the establishment of a mill. We
have all the natural advantages
of power and raw material, so
why not have the mill?"

DID CANNON
NAME SLAYER?
Arrest Of Guilty Parties May Depend
Upon Ante-Mortem Statement
Made By Dead Mayor.

Baudette, April II, 500 p. m.
Sheriff Bailey is on the ground
investigating. County Attorney
Loud and Coroner Marcum are
expected tonight.
Details Of the killing of Matt
G. Cannon, mayor Of Baudette,
who was murdered Saturday
night while standing at the bar
Of the Cathcart hotel in that vii
lage, are meager. County At
torney Loud and Coroner Mar
cum, who left for the scene of
the tragedy yesterday afternoon
did not arrive at Baudette until
noon today, and it is probably
that an Investigation lasting for
several days days will take place
before any arrests, are made. The
Pioneer wired for all develop
ments in the affair last night, but
up to the time of going to press
nothing has been heard from
Baudette concerning the muir.
der.
The question of whether or not
Cannon named his slayer in the
anti norton statement which it
is claimed he made is one of the
most important to be considered.
Providing Cannon told the name
of his murderer in his dying
statement, it is very probable
that the arrest of the murderer
will be accomplished in a short
time. There is nothing definite,
however, in the report that Gan
non named his slayer, and it is
possible that some time may
elapse before any arrests are
made.
Before leaving Bemidji, County
Attorney Loud and Sheriff Bailey
stated chat every effort to appre.
bend the perpetrator or perpe.
traitors of the crime would be
made. 1t is well known that both
Mr.. Loud and Mr.. Bailey have
been political enemies of Gan
mons. Cannon has made several
threats against them, and at the
last session of the grand jury he
attempted to bring them before
that body but failed. The man
ner of his death proves conclus-.
lively that the deed is a cold
blooded murder, and in the
search for the criminals Messrs.
Loud and Bailey will forget all
past troubles with Cannon and
do their duty to the fullest ex
tent.
The following letter, written
before the killing of Cannon took
place and received by County
Attorney Loud Sunday afternoon
may be of some interest in show
ing what led up to the murder:

given forty lashes each at the old New

York, yesterday afternoon Of a COM
plication Of diseases.
Mccoy had been penniless and al
most without friends for years. He
was taken to Bellevue Hospital on June
Is. from a Third avenue saloon, in
New York, in a dying condition. On
Wednesday last he was removed from
Bellevue TO the Metropolitan to die.
The fact that he was going to the
island seemed to have a depressing ef-
feet on the former burglar. and he
drew an object lesson from his fate for
young men. He expressed the hope
that his stay on the Island would be
short. and that he would soon get well
and procure some light work at Which

remainder Of his days. At the 4 land

he became more despondent and failed
rapidly until the end came.
Mccoy and Hope, who died a few
weeks ago at his home on Amsterdam
avenue, were implicated in some of the
most sensational bank robberies in the
country. Mccoy at different times in
his career was possessed Of consider
able money, but it went as fast as it
came.
In the hospital he spoke Of his life.
