What may later prove to have
been a cold flooded murder was
unearthed at 'Tenstrike yester-
day afternoon at about five
o'clock, when the body of an un-
known man was found in Gull
lake about ten feet from the
shore.
1t seems that George w. Wet
sci, who was on the shore of the
lake in company with another
person, discovered the badly de-
composed body of an unknown
man.
The body was at once taken
from the water and the coroner
at Bemidji notified of the finding
of same.
Deputy Coroner: J. P. Lahr,
went to Tenstrike last evening
to view the remains and as re.
suit of said visit the body will
be brought to Bemidji today and
an autopsy be held.
Since the finding of the body
the remains have been identified
as those Of John Johnson.
It develops that early in Feb
ruary John Johnson and another
man named Peter Matihison
hired out to William Fellows to
cut timber and they esta blished
their camp near the lake and
patched it while doing the work.
The men were busily engaged
for five or six weeks, cutting logs
on the claim of William Fellows,
two miles from town.
At the time of the disappear
ance of Johnson, Matihison also
disappeared for two weeks, and
when he returned for his clothes
and money his story was a plaus
lole one.
He said that he had been sick

the registers and receivers shall
not collect any payment for lands
in excess of $50 acres EN- braced
in one entry when the original
entry is allowed, as the payment
Tor such excess area will be in
cluded in the whole amount re-
quired to be paid in installments.
The information sent by the
commissioner of the general land
Office to registers and receivers
in the three land districts covers
in detail all instructions as to the
disposition of these lands.
Included in the Instructions is
one to the effect that all persons
who go upon any of these lands
from which the timber has been
cut and removed under the act of
1902, some of Which are included
in the schedules of lands offered
in the three land districts, or up
on any Of the ceded Chippewa
lands included in this list of
229, 900 acres, with a view to set
tlement thereon prior to the
hour the lands are formally
opened to settlement and entry
will be considered and dealt with
as trespassers, and preference
will be given to the prior legal
applicant, Notwithstanding such
unlawful settlement.
Under the act of March 1, 1907,
entrymen are, also required to
pay in addition to the fees and
charges a pro rata charge for
examination and investigation of
the swampy and overfowed
character of the land, as provid-
ed in the act Of June 21, 1906, and
for drainage and reclamation of
said lands. The amount of these
charges cannot now be deter
mined. AS soon as the charges
are fixed, officers will be fully
advised in regard thereto and
also instructed in regard to the
issuance of receipts upon the
payment thereof.
Settlers desiring descriptions
of these lands should write the
land Offices at one of these dis
tricts.

in the hospital for the past two
weeks and that he and his part.
ner were going to locate in the
west. And that his partner had
already gone. With this story
he succeeded in arousing no sus-
picions and also was permitted
to take with him his clothes as
as we'll as those of Johnson, and
the balance of the money due
both men was paid by Fellows to
Matihlson.
Matihison took a team and
drove to the shanty and was per-
mitted to take whatever he saw
fit with him.
A short time after this be was
again seen on the streets of Ten.
strike, well dressed and in an in
toxicated state. He stated to
several parties here that he was
intending to go west, and with
this the incident was closed with
the Tenstrjke people until the
find yesterday.
From all that can be learned at
this time, Johnson was a man
about thirty eight or forty years
of age and single. He was a
sober and Industrious man and
had accumulated a little.
It is said that he has a home
stead in Roseau county or near
Crookston and that he has some
money deposited in a Crookston
bank.
But little is known of his life
here and no known relatives are
known to any of the people at
Tenstrike.
The Bemidji officials aided by
the citizens of Tens trike are
doing what they can to- locate
the supposed perpetrator of the
crime.

FIRE THIS MORNING
CAUSED $500 DAMAGE
CampbeIPs Club Restaurant Visited by
Fire This F0renoon---Loss
Covered BY Insurance.

What might haye been a dis.
astrous fire was narrowly averted
this morning, when a confagra-
tion broke out in Campbell's Club
restaurant on lower Beltra mi
avenue.
The fire started from the chin.
ney shortly before 9 o'clock and
in a few minutes after the alarm
the fire department had three
streams playing on the flames.
The fire was confined to the
garret Of the building, which is a
two-story structure, rooms on
the second floor being used for
lodging purposes, and some of
the guests of the place who, are
in the habit of sleeping late were
hastily aroused.
The garret was badly Quilted
and much damage was done by
water.
Part Of the fixtures and furn-
ishings were removed, and Mr..
Campbell, who carried $500 in.
surance, estimates his loss at
about $500. The building, which
is owned by the Markham estate,
was damaged to the extent of
$500, also covered by insurance.
This is the fourth or fifth time
there has been a fire in this
building, which is one of the old
est structures in the city, during
the past five or six years.
