foul play was suspected, and it
is now believed that Paulus was
shot by some hunter who mis-

BIG LOGGING PLANS WILL
BOOM UP-L|NE VILLAGES
Turtle River and Farley Will Benefit
by Reason Of Operations
This Winter.

Turtle River, Oct. 12.W. T.
Blakeley, the well known lum.
herman, will log on q very exten.
sive scale this winter and to that
end is engaging some three hun.
dred men to begin the prelimi.
nary work Of building camps and
swamping out roads.
The amount that Mr.. blakeley
intends to log is about ten mil.
lion feet Of pine, all adjacent to
Farley and Turtle River, and the
logs will be dumped into Turtle
River lake.
The employment Of three or
four hundred men in their i'm
mediate vicinity will mean much
to Farley and Turtle River in the
way of increased business.
A few winters ago Farley was
one Of the best Of the 'boom "
towns along the line Of the M. &
l., but of late the place has been
dormant. The resumption Of
logging will enliven conditions
again.

HOMESTEADER SHOT DEAD:
is MISTAKEN FOR A DEER
Simon PAulus Living Near LanGor Killed yesterday
Morning by Unknown Hunter...Wife and Neighbors
Find Body Lying in Woods.

Blackduck, Oct. 12.-(Special
to the Pioneer.)H )HSimon Paulus,
a homesteader living near Langor
postot1ice, was found in the
woods near his home yesterday
morning, with a bullet hole in
the back of his head, his body
indicating that he had been dead
for several hours. The surposi-
tion is that he was mistaken for
a deer and shot, the man who
dirk the shooting afterwards

discovering his error and making
his escape from the vicinity.
Paulus, who is married, went
out in the early morning with
his Winchester rifle, and agreed
with his wife that she should
blow a horn as a signal that
breakfast was ready. Mrs.
Paulus, some time after Paulus
left the house. gave the signal
but received no response, and
after waiting nearly an hour

The belief is prevalent here
that Thomas Berry, whose body
was found in the lake under the
Red Lake railroad bridge last
Saturday morning, was q mem.
ber Of the safe. e.blowing gang that
has been operating in the north
half of the state during the last
five months, and tn ,tIha met his
death by foul methods, as the re
suit of refusing to assist his
''pals" in a robbery planned for
the night previous to finding his
remains.
When Berry's body was
searched, map was found in
one of his pockets, that, to one
acquainted with the methods OF
burglars, indicated that he had
been implicated in the blowing
of the safe and robbing of the
back at Akeley, and indicated
how the gang went out of that
village after getting the money.
There was one distinct route
marked, from Akeley to Guthrie,
across country, on the M. & I.
road and thence to Bemidji. An
other route was from Akeley to
Walker, thence around Leeeh
lake and north to a point about
six miles east of Cass Lake and
to Bemidji.
This city was marked in a
peculiar manner, which it is be.
lieved indicated that no safe
cracking was to be done here.
In fact, Chief Of Police, Bailey
has been notified, anonymously,
that Bemidji would not be visited
by any of the gentry. How.
ever, a man (whose correct name
is withheld for strategic pur-
poses) who is the director of all
the big safe blowing jobs of the
middle west. was in Bemidjl last
Friday and registered at the
Markham hotel, representing
that he was agent for life insur-
ance company. He left the city
on the 2:50 train Saturday morn.
ing.
The protective committee of
the Minnesota Bankers associ-
alton was Immediately notified
by Chief Bailey of the finding OF
the map and other suspicious
articles on Berry and also Of the
chiefs suspicious as to Berry IS
identity. The asst citation was
slow to act; had it sent its de.
tective here, there is no doubt
but what he would have been able
to have secured valuable .infor-

nation. Detective Hanson, the
"sleuth" of the association, had
traced the gang to points near
Bemidji and had communicated
the belief to Mr.. Bailey that the
safe cracksmen were working in
this vicinity.
Two fires were set on Friday
night, and it is believed that the
fires were set to attract attention
from the part of the town in
which is located the Red Lake
depot, and that it was the inten-
ton to blow the safe in the depot,
! but that in some manner there
was a disagreement; that Berry
was knocked on the head with q
sandbag (Which leaves no scar)
and was placed in the lake, his
com mpanions making their escape
in the darkness.
It is believed that Berry tried
to defend himself from harm, as
q revolver was found in his
pocket, filled with cartridges, all
of, which bad been discharged.
Men who were working in the
roundhouse heard shots late in
the night and saw a man run
across the bridge.
just what occurred to cause
the men to abandon their scheme
OF robbery is not known by those
who hold to the robbery theory,
the circumstantial evidence tends
strongly to connect Berry with
the gang that has successfully
looted several banks and post
Offices in this part cf the state.
Sunday night safe was robbed
at Bluffton, west of Wadena.
The men who were here would
have had ample time to have left
here on the early train Saturday
morning and got the money at
Button.
Bemidji has been fortunate in
not having been visited, know
ingly, by the gang, and the reason
therefor is evidently the activity
Of Chief of Police Bailey and his
men.
Several men who are known to
have been smooth crooks have
been sent out of town, and in two
instances at least these men
have stated they knew the inten-
tions of the safe. blowing gang
and that Bemidji would not be
touched this fall, but it is be-
lieved that the occurrence of last
Friday night had to do with an
attempted robbery.

Superintendent Of Logging Here.

William O'Neil Of Cass Lake,
superintendent Of LOGGING on the
Chippewa reservation, spent last
night in the city and returned to
the Lake" this morning.
Senator O'Neil stated to the
Pioneer that the loggers who
have contracts with the govern
ment are getting along very we'll
with their work. One concern,
the Swan River Logging com.
Epany, had logged all summer and
the others were getting ready
for the winter s work.
