ASKING THE GOVERNOR TO
END THE CONTROVERSY
County Commissioners Of the New County of Koochchinq
Are Seeking Settlement With ltasca County Author.
tiles. ....Board Could Not Agree

St. Paul, Aug. 26.-The com
missioners of Koochiching county
have applied to Governor John A.
Johnson for settlement of their con-
troversy with Itasca county, from
which Koochiching is an offspring,
relative to property divisions. Most
of the property of the former Itasca
county is located within that county,
and the Koochiching commissioners
are unable to get what they believe
to be just settlement with the
Itasca authorities. .~.. .~.
Beneath the surface of things, is
said to be story that there is iron
ore on the old Itasca poor farm, and
the Koochiching authorities want the
property valued accordingly and
settlement for a good price made
with Koochiching for it's share.
The governor has appointed Sept.
5 at the capitol as the time and place
for a hearing.
Koochiching county was repre-
sented at the capitol today by County
Commissioner R. S. Mcdonald and
County Attorney C. w. Stanton,
while Itasca was represented by J.
S. Cole, secretary of the state drain
age league.
The Koochiching representatives
filed the following petition with the
governor:
I'VE respectly petition your ex-
cellency and represent that the
County of Koochiching was detached
from this county of Itasca in the
state of Minnesota, and created by
proclamation duly made by the gov
ernnr- Dec 10. 1906: that the total
indebtness of the original county of
Itasca on the date of said division

The Bemidji baseball team lost
it's second contest of the season,
yesterday afternoon, when the
players, by a series of rotten errors
that would have disgraced a bunch
of 1O-year-old kids" deliberately
gave away the game to the Akeley
team, the visitors getting the long
end of the score of II to 10.
Although the Bemidji team out
hit the visiting players by large
majority, bone-headed base running,
mufis, boots" and wild heaves over
a baseman's head forced Akeley to
front whenever the home team
looked like winners.
The Akeley team had Ed. Rogers,
the ex-University of Minnesota
Indian pitcher, who now lives at
Walker, in the box aud he threw
fairly good game, and was steady
throughout Behind the bat the
visitors had "Uncle" Tim Keefe-
the man who has caught for Superior,
Duluth, Minneapolis, Fargo and
divers and sundry other baseball
teams, since the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary; and
some insist that he was catching
ball when pop" Arson was a kid. :"
The old gentleman caught good
game, and his foxy" work in the
first inning cut Bemidji of one score
at the plate. "Grandpa" was weak
with the cudgel, on account of a
rheumatic leg, but unexpectedly
landed on one for two sacks, along
toward the close.
Otto pitched for Bemidji, and as

IN LAWS CLUTCHES

The grand jury at Des Moines, Iowa
has returned an indictment against
the well known mail order house of
Sears, Roebeck & Co, of Chicago. The
firm in question is accused of using
the mails to defraud, it being alleged
that the goods sold the purchasers
were not as advertised in the cata-
logue. Two items are mentioned,
white paint advertised to contain pure
white lead, but in reality not lead at
all, and gold rings set with bogus
stones.
It is declared that when the next
federal grand jury meets in May,
w. ]. Pilkington, of the Iowa Trade
Journal and his associates, who as
sisted in working up the present case,
will have evidence of the same char
acter to submit against other big
catalogue houses.
The mittimus for the arrest of
Sears, Roebeck & Co. as corpora
ton was forwarded to the United
States marshal at Chicago who will
cite the company to appear before
the federal court there.
