INDIAN POLICE
IN BAD BRAW'L
Custodians Of Prisoners Fight and
One Officer Is Seriously
Wounded.

Cass Lake, July 18.An hour
and a half before the south bound
passenger train pulled in at Cass
Lake Monday morning, four
indian police with five Indian
prisoners arrived at the depot.
The prisoners were to be taken
to Walker and com mitted to the
Jail there for several days.
But the prisoners evidently
came to the conclusion that there
was little use in staying around,
and made a dash for liberty. The
police, who were under the in
tluence of liquor, tried to figure
the matter out, and within ten
seconds the four officers came
together and blows were landed
right and left.
Finally one of the police siezed
a stake from a truck standing
near by, and with full force gave
one OF his fellow officers blow
over the head.
The Indian who received the
blow from the truck stake is in 6
critical condition and his re
covery is very doubtful. His
assailant is also in bad COZ,
dition, but it is not thought his
Injuries will prove fatal.

Man, the Monstrous specter.

What a monstrous specter is this
man, the disease. of the agglutinated
dust, lifting alternate feet or lying
drugged with slumber; killing, feeding,
growing, bringing forth small copies Of
himself; grown upon with hair like
grass, fitted with eyes that move and
glitter in his face; a thing to set chill
dren screaming, and yet looked at
nearer, known as his fellows know
him, hor' surprising are his attributes!

The Dogs Kennel.

Damp is the greatest evil to which
the dog confined outside the house in a
kennel is liable. 1t will kill the strong
est dog and must be carefully guarded
against. If dog is to keep in health,
too, it is necessary that it should be
able to enjoy plenty of sunlight, and
the kennel should always be placed
facing south, except in the hottest
parts of the day in summer, when it
should be moved into the shade.

The great baseball game to be
played tomorrow between the
city and county officials will be-
gin at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
1t was the first plan to wait
until after supper, but it was

few innings before darkness
ended the sport, and it is desired
to give the crowd as much fun
as possible for it's money.
1t has been suggested from a
number of quarters that the
merchants close their stores a
little early Thursday night so as
to allow their forces tc see the
first part of the game as we'll as

HAVE TWO GOOD
TEAMS in VIEW
Local Baseball Manageme mt Dick
erins With Fertile and Grand
Rapids for Sunday.

There will be a game Of ball
played here next Sunday, when
the Fertile team will line up
against the locals. The Fertile
team is making a trip through
the north half of the state and
they wrote to Lee LeGore for a
game Sunday. Their proposition
was accepted this noon, the
Fertile manager wrote the local
manager that the Fertile players
would be here, sure, for a game
Sunday.
The Bemid;i team will play a
game with Walker, at Walker,
Saturday. In,the game played
here several weeks ago, Walker
easily defeated Bemidji, but the
locals are very strong now, and
it is believed that they can turn
the tables on Rogers and his
associates.
Hibbing defeated Grand Rapids
last Sunday at Hibbing by a
score of to2. A Hibb bling "fan''
who is in the city today asserts
that the Range team could have
added several more scores to
their sum total, but wanted the
game to have the sem blance of a
contest. Freeman pitched for
Hibbing, and he was, as usual,
too much for Grand Rapids.
Stafford twirled for Grand

have for him and none is held in
higher regard among his fellow

None deserves it better, because
we know and honor him in his

generous as a prince, honest to
the core and a man to tie to, or
as his old wife says, king

One of the most important of
fees in the county is the one of
Supervisor. Every taxpayer
should, before casting his vote.
give it due consideration. The
Board of Supervisors is com
posed of three members, one of
which serves four years, whose
duties are simply the govern
ment of the county, and in nom
mating a man like E. A. Saw
yer to be a member of that
board, shows that the Democrat
ic Party had the welfare of the
county at heart, independent of
all political ideas.
Mr.. Sawyer has lived amongst
US for great many years and
is one of the cOunty's largest
tax payers, and if elected
would protect the interest of
every man within the boundaries
of our county. At one time Mr..
Sawyer was engaged in the
mercantile business in this
town and afterward entered in
to the sheep industry. He
knows the wants of every sec
tion of our county and is the
man who would make it a point
to see that only a fair taxation
on property is made on those
who have riSked their all in our
little County of Navajo, and on
those industries that have help
ed to reclaim the barren desert.
At one time Mr.. SAWYER was
Treasurer of the county and his
public record was without a
blemiSh. He is we'll fitted to
serve the people as Supervisor
and all classes in every section
of our county should elect Mr..

ma ajOrity.

by the largest ever given IN the

No county in the territory
has a more competent man for
the office as the records of his
office show, and the evidence of
the same is often commented on
by those having business with
him. This can be verified by
Mr.. w. J. Barrows, represent
ing the Uuited States Census
Office who was in this territory
some time ago, and in the IN
spection of the Recorders Off
ce. he stated to the Board of
of Supervisors. who were in
session at that time and com
posed of Messrs. DivelbeSs. Cres
we'll and Flickinger, that Nava-
10 County was the last county
in the territory which he had
visited to collect statistics of
the wealth and resources of the
different counties in the terri
tory, and that the work and rec
ords of Mr.. McAllister office
as Clerk of the Board excelled
any other office in the territory,
showing at a glance compre-
hensive exhibit of the Condi-
tions of all the resources and H.
abilities of the county, and that
it afforded him a better insight
of the affairs of this county than
was done in any other county in
the territory, and that the peo-
pie were well served by having
such a county official. After
the creation of the office of Pub,
lie Examiner by the last legisla-
ture. Mr.. w. F. Foster, who
was appointed to the office, in
spected Mr.. McAllister's office
and expressed himself as highly
pleased with its condition and
so reported to the Governor.
and said that this was one coun-
ty where he could lay his hand
on anything he wanted. and in
his last visit of inspection he
expressed the same opinion,
having no cause to find the least
fault regarding the administra-
ton of the office.
That he has been devoted to
the interest of the tax payers
of this county outside of the re-
ouirements of his official posi-
ton. we will call to the mind of
the people Of the county, where
bv his individual effort and
work, he saved to the county
over $4,000 in taxes, and in this
way:
The Winslow mail., 1906-11-03

the valuation should be made at
not less than So so per acre as
an equitable valuation. The
cattle company then disputed
the right of raising the taxes
over 20c per acre and under pro-
test paid their taxes, and enter
ed suit against the county for
the recovery of the amount paid
in excess of 20C per acre, furth-
er claiming that they did not
have actual title to this land
under a United States patent
dated April /, 1908, which was
after the date of February 1st
of each year, which taxes were
held to be due, being in posses
sion of the owner before that
date. Mr.. McAllister main
tanned that the taxes we're col
lectab BILE and became due any
time between February 1st and
June 18th. being in possession
of the owners between those
dates, the latter date, being that
which the original assessment
roll is turned over to the Clerk
of the Board, completing the
assessment to that date, and he
produced precedents, rulings
and decisions covering similar
cases, and judgment was render
ed in favor Of the county under
the rulings produced by him.
And further be found that the
cattle company had failed to
pay on over $4,000 acres of land
since the organization of the
county in 1895, and he made
out an abstract of the delin-
quency and gave his reasons
why it should be paid. The
company demurred and claimed
that only one years back taxes
could be collected aud that the
land was not surveyed. He. in
his sometimes forcible reason
ing manner, informed the attor-
ney for the company that they
made themselves liza able to a cri-
minal action for perjury in fal-
sefying their tax returns, and it
is enough to say that the
amount he claimed was turned
into the county treasury.
It is such men as this we
want in office; a man, who out
side of his mere clerical duties
and routine of office work, can
see something outside of the Of
fetal rut for the benefit Of the
people and the advantage of
the taxpayers, beside his axi-
ETY. for his quarterly salary.

an active part in both Of these affairs up to a
few years ago, but on account Of failing health
was compelled to retire.
Mr.. Sagle narrHtes some thrilling expert
ences and hairbreadth escapes while he was
serving as engineer. While stopping to oil
his engine at Plane No. 4, near Mi. Airy, Md,
on one Sunday about midnight, his locomo-
tive was blown up, killing his fireman instant
ly. On another occasion some miscreant
spiked IA crosslie on the track near kearneys

completely around and headed it in the op-
posile direction. The cars were telescoped
and some of them were jammed on top of the
