markable time of five minutes
latter they ell tered the jury room
The first informal ballot re.
suited in twelve for conviction
and this was at once made form
al, the entire time taken being
inside of five minutes. " a
Mr.. Miller then went on to
state that there was not the
slightest doubt in the minds Of
the jury but what the two men
were guilty. He said that one
listening to the testimony word
for word as it came to them
could not have the least dou bt of
such thing. He said that the
people of Bemidji were unani-
nous in the opinion that the two
men convicted were the two men
that killed the Dahls.
Cali who know the facts of the
case are unanimous in giving
great credit to Sheriff Bailey
and his son John Bailey, who is
acting as chief deputy sheriff of
Beltrami county, for their un-
firing efforts during the past
three years in tracing the mur.
derers, getting evidence and
winding it in a convicting chain
about the two men who have just
been sent below for the most re-
voting CRIME in the annals of the
state," said Mr.. Miller. "Step
by step, and with wonderful pa
tience and careful, diligent work,
they have traced the murder
back to the men who committed
it, and they are to be congrat.
ulated in the fact that they have
rid the county of Beltrami of two
of the most desperate criminals
besides making an example Of
them which will have a far reach
ing effect in curbing crime in
that scattered county over which
they must keep WATCH"

BEMIDJI SHOULD HAVE A
NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
Special Election Will Be Held on Apr 3Oth TO Vote on
Proposition to Locate and Build New
High School,

Notices have been posted, and
are being published, for spe.
cial election for the purpose of
locating a site and building a
high school in Bemidjl, and for
the issuance of bonds in the
amount of S35, 900 for that pur-
pose. The bonds bear interest
at five per cent and are to run
for fifteen years.
The site presented for consid-
GRAFTON by the voters is des-
cribed as Block 19, Third Addi-
tion to Bemidji. It is bounded
on the south by Twelfth street,
on the east by Minnesota, on the
north by Thirteenth street and
on the west by America avenue.
The Board of Education has had
this matter under. consideration
for some time and a few days
ago obtained an offer for the sale
of this property to them at
$2,25O. This site is the nearest
one to the present center of pop
ulation where the entire block
can be secured, and the price is
less than any of the other sites
considered, which consisted of
from a half to quarter of a
block. The proposed site is
three blocks north of the main
school building, and as the city
will inevitably grow more rap
idly IN that direction than in
any other the proposed location
should meet with the hearty ap.
proval of all who are Interested
in the erection of high school
building. ..u..

WESLEY.FOURNIER JURIES
Crookston Times Quotes Mr.. Miller
Relative to verdicts Rendered
at Murder Trials.

T. J. Miller, who accompanied
Sheriff Bailey on his trip to Still

interviewed at Crookston by the
Crookston Daily Times, which
contained the following, last even.
ing:
"Without any doubt the time
taken by the juries in the -Four.
nier and Wesley murder trials at
Bemidji, was the shortest time
ever taken in the state in reach
ing an agreement in a trial for
murder in the first degree, y
we're the words of T. J. Miller,
of Bemidji, foreman of the jury
in the Wesley trial. Mr.. Miller is
a prominent real estate insurance
man of that city, who was here
last night with Sherltf BAILEY act
ing as deputy sheriff in taking
Paul Fournier - to Saltwater to
begin serving his life sentence.
Mr.. Miller made the following
statement in regard to the two
trials and this is the first time
that it mad been made public:
"The Fournier jury reached
an agreement in just ten minutes
after being locked in the jury
room. The first informal ballot
resulted in ten for conviction as
charged, one for acquittal and
one vote Was blank. The next

case the election results in favor
| of the proposition, is to build a
high school that will cost approx
imately $4,000, and one which
will be a credit to any city. To-
day our schools are overcowded.
Next year two additional grade
teachers are to be employed, and
one additional high school
teacher, and there is no room in
our school house for taking care
of them.
The board has a serious prob
lem to face when school opens
next Septem Der, and will have to
procure rooms in churches or
down-t town buildings, in any
Ievent, and until additional room
can be provided for. A high
school building will solve this
difficulty, provide ample room
for the grades for some time to
come, and will place Bemidji
where she belongs-at the head
of the list of Northern Minnesota
cities, as far as educational facil-
tiles are concerned.
The opportunity is presented,
land it is now up to the voters to
decide whether they will avail
themselves of 1t, or vote the
proposition down. The matter
deserves the serious consider
alton of every citizen who has the
welfare of our city and schools at
heart, and we believe the stu
alton to be such that it is our
duty to urge upon the voters of
the district that they give this
proposition their favorable con-
sideration.
