in this vicinity has caused some
thing of a boom that is at present
only in the process ofincubation,
but if ore is found in paying
quantities, there will be a great
rush. The foreman of the crew
that is drilling three fourths of
a mile south Of the village stated
last night that he had found a
fair sample of iron yesterday,
but does not yet know to what
extent the deposit will reach. It
was found at a depth of twenty

charging criminal libel.
The complaint was signed
shortly after the noon hour and
Deputy Sheriff Tom Bailey, Jr.,
served the papers while Oyler
was finishing his dinner. Tax
ing a few last mouthfnls, he
walked with the deputy to Judge
Skinvik's Office, and was ar
raigned, G. NJ. Torrance appear
ing as his attorney.
The accused waived the read
ing of the complaint and entered
a plea of not guilty. Arrange
ments for the bonds with the
provision for his keeping the
peace, were then made.
The liveliest scene of the whole
proceedings took place while the
defendant and the attorneys
were leaving the courtroom.
When they reached the head of
the stairs, Oyler pointed his long,
slim finger at the county attor-
ney and said in dramatic tones.
eff anyone, you or anyone else,
wants any fun out of me, just
come outside, " and he jerked his
finger IN emphasis toward the
street.
''Mr. Sheriff, !" said the county
attorney, sbring the prisoner
back.
Oyler was brought once more
before the court, and the order
made that he be held by the
sheriff until the bond be
furnished.
Oyler said to the court that he
might want to show this busi-
ness up" " so the date for hearing
was set so that it will not inter
fere with the publication of his
paper.
The maximum penalty for
criminal libel is ninety days in
the county Jail or a fine Of 500.
There is no minimum.

John T. Oyler, editor of the
Bemidji Enterprise, was arrested
today on a charge of criminal
libel, in connection with an
article which he blished in the
last issue of his paper relative to
the private character of j. J..
Opsahl, candidate for represent
ative to the legislature. His
hearing was set for August 81,
and he was placed under bonds
of 500.
A provision of the bond is that
he keep the peace while the
action is pending, and if be- fails
to do so, the bond will be de-
clared forfeited and the accused
committed to Jail.
The preliminary hearing was
before Judge Skinvik, and the
first order of the court was that
Oyler be released on his own
recognizance until the $1OO bail
was secured, but hardly had he
got outside the door of the court
room when he challenged County
Attorney Mcdonald to street
fight, and was taken back before
the court by the sheriff and com
mitted by the Judge to the
sheriff's charge until the bond
be furnished. At this writing
Oyler was still in custody of the
officer.

and that they would conduct the
hotel in the future, and it was
the intention to run it in first
class manner and make it such
a reputation as has the Hotel
CrooKston. Mr.. Lycan said of
the deal:
cit is the intent ton that either
myself or my brother will be at
the Bemidjl hotel practically all
the time, and we will give just as
careful attention to that hotel as
we do to the Hotel Crookston. -
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1906-08-24

Mr.. Lycan was premature in
his statement that the deal has
been closed, as the papers are
still at the Office of Chester
McKusick, attorney for the
Markham estate, and have not
been signed or delivered.
The Markham is one of the
most desirable hotel properties
in the state north of the twin cities.
The hotel was erected eight years
ago, by J. M. Markham. The
building was a small affair at that
time, but additions we're built to
the main part until the present
hostelry of more than 100 rooms
was obtained. It has been a pay
ing proposition, and is valuable
property.
