KENNEDY ROBINSON OF
LEECA LAKE DISAPPEARS
Nineteen-Year-0Id Indian DISAPPEARS
and Has Not Been Heard From
Since Aug. 2.

Walker Sept. 6.-(Special to Pho
neer.) Efforts are being made to
locate Kennedy Robinson, nine
teen-year-old Indian who myster-
iously disappeared from his home at
the Leech Lake agency on August
2. When last seen Robinson was
in the company of an Indian named
Meunell and the two were on their
way to Walker.
Nothing has been seen of the boy
since that date, although Meunell
returned to the agency the following
day. He was very uncommunicative
regarding his companion and moth
ing was thought of the matter until
Roblnson's continued absence
alarmed his relatives. Then Meunell
was sought but he too had dis
appeared, and it is now thought that
Robinson has been foully dealt with
and that Meunell knows more than
he wishes to tell.
Still, the parents are hopeful that
the boy is not dead and they and
their friends are using every effort
to locate the lost man. It was
learned that four Indians were work
ing on the section near Bemidji and
yesterday the chief of police at that
place was called up by telephone and
asked to ascertain if Robinson was

SATURDAY, SEPT. "a, WILL
Be MARKET DAY IN BEM|DJ|
Good Demand for Draft Horses and
Mich Cows. .-.List Your Articles
as Early as Possible.

The next market day for Bemidji
will be held Saturday, September IA.
c. A. Hitchcock, of Crookston,
who officiated as auctioneer at the
last market, has again been engaged,
and his services will be free to all
who have anything to offer.
Household articles, and other
goods that should be sheltered from
the elements will be stored in J. P.
Pogue's carriage house, and should
be brought in the day before so as
to get the same placed and listed
before the opening of the auction, as
it is the intention to start early in
the morning.
Carriages, wagons and farm impli-
ments will be offered on the market
block east of Pogue's barn, and
there is ample stabling accommoda-
tions in the barn for horses. 1t is
expected that there will be many
horsemen present, as the approach
ing logging season is near at hand
and lumbermen are on the lookout
constantly now for horses in the
woods.
Heavy draft horses are in big
demand and are commanding higher
prices than for years.
Last market day there was large
demand for mich COWS. Sheep are
also in demand as many of the
farmers are figuring on going in for
sheep quite extensively during the
next few years, both wool and mutton
bringing good prices at this time,
and sheep are a factor in clearing
land in the timber belt that is
making the farmer sit up and take
notice.
1t is expected that the city will
take some action in the near future
and buy block of ground some
where convenient to town for a mar
ket place, as at present time there is
no place where the farmers can
bring their wood, hay, or stock, but
have to stand around on the streets
until buyer comes along.
