FOURNIER-CYR
HEARING TODAY
County Attorney Funklev Conducts Examina-

Charges.
Nothing New of a Startling Nature Has Been
Brought Out at Today's
Hearing.

of an ordinary mans foot, and
along the tracks was impression
of something which looked like a
woman's skirt had dragged.
The footprints did not go clear
to the house, but turned back
after going about ten rods. He
had brought Dahl's mail back to
Quiring and met Eugene Cold
we'll on the way, at the camp.
Mr.. Dahl had always worn spec
tacles, and never was without
his pipe and cane.
At this point the hearing was
adjourned until 1:30 p. m.
At the afternoon session of the
hearing Eugene Caldwell was
called. He testified as to hearing
shots fred on the night of April
7th, 1904; also as to the last time
that he saw the Dahl's alive, and
as to the actions of Paul Fournier, F
accused of the murders, and
what time Fournier came home.
Mrs. Caldwell also testified,
her testimony corroborating that
given by her usband. ~
DR.. Marcum testified as to his
! findings as county coroner at the
time the bodies of Mr.. Dahl and
bis daughter were discovered.
H. J. Loud testified as to a pin
which had been in his possession,
and which is expected to figure
quite prominently later in this
hearing.
@. @. Strander was recalled
and testified as to the indentity
| of the bodies of Dahl and Miss
Aagot; as to some of their per
! sonal belongings, etc.
From present indications the
examination will not terminate
until some time tomorrow, and it
is impossible to foretell what
foundation the state is laying for
its case against Fournier aud
Cyr.

TRAPPING UHPROFITABLE;;
THERE'S TOO MUCH SNOW
Pioneer Trapper Says Work Of Getting
Fur-Bearing Animals Is Strenuous
Labor.

The great amount of snow
that has fallen this winter has
not only been a detrlment to the
loggers, but has also been OF
much damage to the labors OF
another class Of residents in the
northern woods-the trappers.
A trapper who has lived in the
vicinity Of Bemidji for the past
fifteen years says Of the incon.
veniences experienced this
winter:
$50 much snow makes it very
bad for the trappers through
northern Minnesota. Men en-.
gagged in this business would not
mind il so much if the snow
would fall at once, but what they
object to is having a fall every
day or two, burying the traps
out Of sight, and making them
worthless until dug out and
reset. A few inches of snow
over the pan make a trap worth
about as much as if it were
sprung: and in the case Of a
deadfall, or other contrivance
made Of sticks and trees, it
doesn't take much snow to put
them out of com mission. There
have been periods this winter
when snow fell practically every
night, and morning after morn.
ing the trappers would go the
rounds and get almost nothing
but work.
"Furs com mand a fair price
this year, taken as a whole, and
the successful trapper stands to
make good profits from his sea,
sons work. Mink and martin
are in good demand, and there is
no trouble in disposing Of wea
sci and muskrat pelts, or any
kind Of furs, in fact"

in both at the same time. Objec.
tion over-ruled.
Mr.. Strander said that he had
last Seen Mr.. Dahl at Crookston,
during the month of January,
1904; he had known Mr.. Dahl
twelve or thirteen years. Dahl's
physical condition was not good;
he was not strong; was 81 years
old at the time; Dahl was five
feet ten inches tall and weighed
bout 155 pounds. The Dahls
both had claims near Quiring.
Mr.. Dahl had proved up on his
claim about January, 1908, and
also sold the tim Der on his claim
at that time, receiving about
81 300 therefor. At that time
Miss Aagot Dahl was stopping
at the home of D. W. Carter,
postmaster at Quiring. Mr..
Dahl returned to Quiring after
a visit of a few days, and Mr..
Strander had not seen him alive
since that time. Mr.. Dahl had
about $50 on his person when he
left CrOOkstOn.
Ike Halvorson of Quiring was
the next witness. He had known
N. 0. Dahl and his daughter
Aagot ever since they had come
to Quiring. Saw Aagot last time
alive at home of D. w. Carter,
while her father was away at
Crookston, during winter 1908 04.
The post Office was about two
and one-half miles from Miss
Dahl's homestead. Last saw N.
0. Dahl alive in February, 1904,
: at the home of Mr.. Carter, when
he had just returned from
Crookston. He knew both Dahl
and his daughter we'll. Had Wis
tied their homesteads often.
Halvorson described the houses
on the claims of Dahl and his
dsughter, and stated that they
were living together in Miss
Aagot's house during the winter
of 1908 04. He described the
houses on both claims, and stated
that Mr.. Dahl's house was not
used. The last time be had seen
Mr.. Dahl alive was in the month
of February, 1904, when he pur-
chased some potatoes from Mr..
Dahl.
He visited the two houses of
the Dahl's next in April, 1904.
There had been a blizzard a few
days previous to his visit. It
was a heavily tim bered country
aud the snow did not drift much,
Halvorson's wife accompanied
him. He visited the house of
Miss Dahl and found it closed
and locked with a paddock; he
found the same condition at the
cabin. of Mr.. Dahl. They saw
no one about, and indications
pointed that there had been no
one in the houses for some time.
There was a blaz9d trail from
Miss Dahl's house to that of her
father. Halvorson had followed
this trail and there we're no
traces OF anyone. He went ano-
ther route to Mr.. Dahl's cabin.
Found some footprints, the size

The preliminary hearing Of
Paul Fournier and George Cyr,
charged with having killed N. O..
Dahl and his daughter Aagot,
near Curing postoftice, Beltrami
county, during the month of
April, 1904, was com menced this
morning at 10 o'clock, before O.
M. Skinvik, justice of the peace.
The hearing was adjourned to
the court house, there being so
large crowd in attendance that
the capacity of the justice court
was insufficient to accommodate
the curious, even with standing
room.
Fournier and Cyr we're
brought into court by Deputy
Sheriffs John Bailey and Arne
Solberg, and neither appeared
much worried over the grave
charge that has been lodged
against them.
County Attorney Henry Funk
ley conducted the examination
and G. W. Campbell appeared on
behalf of the accused men, JUS
tice Sklnvik presiding.
The state has about fifteen
witnesses to examine, while the
defendants have no witnesses
whatever.
Mr.. Campbell, counsel for
Fournier and Cyr, moved that all
witnesses that were to give tes-
timony be excluded from the
court room except when testify
ing. There we're no objections
on the part of the state.
G. @. Strander of Crookston,
who married daughter of N. O..
Dahl, the aged victim of foul as
sassination, and whose wife is a
sister of Aagot Dahl, who also
perished at the hands of murder
ers, was the first witness exam
ined. Mr.. Strander testified as
to his place of residence, his
relationship to the Dahl's etc,
and upon being questioned by
Mr., Funkley stated that the last
time he had seen Aagot Dahl alive
was in CrCokston, in the middle
of the month Of Septem Der, 1908;
had known MISS Dahl for ten or
twelve years previous to that
time. She miss DAhD was %
years old at he time of her dis
appearance. Miss Dahl had
been in poor health; was feeble
and delicate, weighing only 1O5
pounds: she was less than me-
dunn height and of pale complex,
ion.
Asked as to when he had last
seen N. O. Dahl alive, counsel for
Fournier and Cyr made objection
that the case of Aagot Dahl was
being taken up at that time and
he did not want the two con.
nected at this time. County At.
torney Funkley stated he be-
lieved that all the testimony
would so connect the cases that
it would be impossible to separ-
ate them, and he should be per.
mitted to

The Voice Of Fraternity

The voice of fraternity may be
likened unto the sweet and solemn
sound of Sabbath bells upon the still
evening soothing the troubled
heart and bringing it in tune With the
music of spheres, until the skies that
arch above US seem not so far away,
and until the stars speak to US as
they spoke to JOB, and the man of
many troubles, in the dim years of
remote and very ancient past. Liv-
ing the fraternal life in the tfuest
and best sense man learns to know
his fellow man better than before,
and this knowledge gained upon the
tesscllated floor Of the lodge room
tends to make him more charitable
and to excite within his breast love
for humanity.-Odd Fellows Siftings.

New Road Law

The road Law passed by the last leg

Every newspaper -ants to publish
the news. The better the paper the
more prosperous it will be. Local
news items are especially hard to run
down. How many times have you,
dear reader, been approached by the
newspaper man for an item of news
and told him that you knew nothing
of interest. Probably at the time
your family were away on visit or
some one from out of town was
visiting at your home. OF course
you didn't mean to deceive the
scribe, yet when you received your
paper you wondered why your
family or friends were not mentioned.
A good way to avoid all of this is
to kindly inform us Of the acts or
drop note in the postofice to the
paper. The one item may not
amount to much, but several columns
OF such news is the life of a local
paper. See?
