COMMENDS Chief BAILEY
AND THE POLICE FORCE
Rev. Frank Higgins Brands as False
Charges Which Have Been Made
Against Chief.

Rev. Frank Higgins, the "Lum-
berjack Sky Pilot who has
pro badly had more to do with the
lum berjacks of Minnesota than
any other single individual who
lives in the state, says to. the
Pioneer relative to some Of the
radical charges which are being
made against S. G. Bailey, chief
of police, and the police force in
general:
II have lived in Bemidji since
the early days Of the city, and
have had occasion to note what
went on among the laboring
classes Of the city, and more es.
pecially among the transient en-
ployes Of the lum mbering camps,
commonly called "lum berjacks;"
and | wish to state emphatically
hat [ heartily commend the
work Of S G, Bailey as chief of
police of this city, and his per-
sonal moral character and what
he requires of the men who work
with him. Prior to the time that
'Sherm' Bailey assumed the
duties of the chief Of police of
Bemidji, it was no uncommon
sight to see even the chief of the
force intoxicated and FREQ uent-
ing questionable resorts; and
robberies OF lum berjacks by
policemen was rumor that was
too often true. [ have heard there
are those who accuse the local
policemen WHO constitute the
present force of rob bing lum ber-
jacks. | do not believe any such
statement, and am certain that it
is made in pure maliciousness. 1
have had much to do in common
with Mr.. Bailey and have always
found him honest in his dealings
with every body; and I believe
that if more Of our citizens would
back up sSherm' Bailey in his
enforcing of the law we would
have a much better city than we
have even now.

Has Served Thirty Days.

Frank Tufts, deputy U. S.
marshal, spent last night in Be
midi and this morning took with
him to Walker Carl r.. Winger.
who has just completed serving
a sentence of thirty days in the
Beltrami county Jail, having been
CON mitled at the last term of U.
S. court held at Duluth.
Winger was arrested and
found guilty on the charges of
perjury and false intentions in
attempting to take a homestead
in the name of his twin brother.
The homestead was located north
of Solway and adjoined Winger's
own homestead. He was given
a trial at Duluth and on January
18th was sentenced to pay a fine
of $500 and to serve thirty days
IN the BeItrami county Jail.
He was taken to Walker this
morning to appear before Daniel
LeLury and receive his final dis
charge, which was furnished
him on the proof furnished that
he served his sentence.

Resolutions of Sympathy.

| Whereas, The angel of death
has entered our midst and taken
away Richard J. Albrant, the be.
loved brother of our brother and

Albrant; therefore, be it
Resolved, that the officers and
members of Bemidji Lodge, No.
PIG, D. of H. extend their heart
felt sympathy to Brother and
Sister Albrant and their family.
God has spoken to US; shall we
not heed Him? Into three Of the
homes of our members the angel
of death hath entered; no hand
could stay his coming: no door
could bar him out. He bore the
message "Come hither," and
they who received it obeyed.
We know the depth of it's mean
ing and the sorrow for those
bereft. We have thought much
of the home life; we have been
busy. God calls our attention to
the shortness of our stay. He
would not have US build our
hopes on length of time; but look
with joy fol, that which changes
not. His will is right, we need
not be afraid. Re it further
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be forwarded to the

of these resolutions be published

MeSSrs. Winter and WhittIe AWAITING
Insurance Adjustment-LueIIa
Sutton Did Good Work.

Those who lost by the fire in
the Schroeder block yesterday
and had insurance oa their effects
are awaiting the action of the
fire insurance adjusters.
It is learned that A. E. Winter,
according to his statement, had
in the store at the time he last
took an inventory, a stock OF
watches, clocks, jewelry, etc..
that amounted to $4,000. He
states that he had about $500
wcrJh of his goods in his large
safe, but that the remainder O:
the stock was a total loss, by in
surance for but $4,000.
1t Is said that Miss Luella
Sutton, who was stopping with
Mrs. Pebley, was the first to dis
cover the fire and that she aided
greatly in getting those who
we're living over the first floor t.
reach a place of safety.
Neither Mr.. Whitlle or Mr.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
MAY REVOKE HIS ORDER
Has Been Told of Hardships Which
Would Be Put on Home
steaders.

It is understlo lod from Wash
ington that the president
will, in a few days, take actit.n
that will cancel his previous
order holding up certain land
transactions in the west awaiting
Investigations as to proba ble
fraud. The prc dent has been
strongly advised that he should
do this in the case of strictly
agricultural lands, where there
could be little, if any motive for
fraud and collusion, and he is
disposed to follow the advice
given him.
Senator McCumber, of North
Dakota, discussed this question
with the president Saturday. He
said that there are probably 500
cases in his state where home
steaders made entry, but were
unable to make final proof be-
cause of the presidents order
holding up these entries. Senator
McCum Der asked that the presi-
dent allow the receivers of pub
lie lands to issue receipts, there
by completing the transactions
and permitting the homesteaders
to begin improvements on the
property. When they have ob
tanned receipts they can borrow
money on the lands for in prove
ments, this being the method
usually pursued.
"There have been no frauds ir
the public lands in our state
said Senator McCumber, "and
the holding up of all these cases
has been peculiarly hard upor
the persons desiring to make
homes for themselves" -
The president has had severa
conferences with western con
gressmen on this subject includ
ing Congressman Steenerson, al
of them urging that in the case
of agricultural lands, there
ought to be a revocation of the
presidents order.
There are many homesteaders
in this county who will anxiously
await the announcement of tn,
modification of the PRESIDENT
order.
