duck. They erected cabins on
their land and began making
their homes on their claims. The
country in the vicinity Of Quiring
is heavily timbered and difficult
Of access, and is a place that was
rarely visited at the time the
Dahls took up their residence
there. There were several fam
lies living in the vicinity, but
there was not much intercourse
among the s'pioneers'' of the
forest.
About the middle of April,
1904, it was noticed that the
Dahls had not been seen in
Blackduck, and that they had
not been to the postofice at Quir-
ing for their mail; they had also
failed to write to relatives who
lived at Crookston, for some
time. No alarm was felt at their
not appearing, as their home was
so isolated that the. people in
Blackduck thought that the
Dahls had decided to remain at
their home in seclusion for a
time.
However, the relatives in
Crookston became suspicious

offered for the recovery of the
bodies of the Dahl's and any in
formation leading to their where

The county officials worked
diligently to solve the mystery of
the disappearance of the Dahl's,
but nothing that would tend to
throw any light on the mystery
was unearthed until the latter
part of July, 1904, when the body
of Mr.. Dahl was discovered.
A party consisting of Eugene
Caldwell and Owen French
claimed to have accidentally
found the body of Dahl, near the
latter's cabin, while going
through the woods in search of a
calf belonging to Caldwell. Ac-
cording to the story of these
men, a dog which accompanied
them smelled something under

County Attorney Funkley Confident that at
Least One Of the Prisoners Was Impli-
Gated in the Crimes.
Murders We're Most Brutal Crimes in History
of Northern Minnesota.---Mystery as to
Identity of Guilty Parties.
"Murder will out. ,"

"Murder will out. -
After lapse of nearly three
years, it is very probable that
the actual perpetrators of the
Dahl murder: which caused a
sensation throughout the whole
state of Minnesota, have been
apprehended and that they will
be given their full measure of
Justice.
On Saturday last, Deputy
Sheriff John Bailey was given in
formation from Blackjack, which
warranted the assertion that. the
mystery that has surrounded
the famous murder was on the
point of solution. County Attor-
ney Henry Funkley was con-
suited, with the result that Mr..
Funkley made complaint against
George Cyr and Paul Fournier,
of Quiring, charging them with
the killing of N. O. Dahl and his
daughter Aagot, during the
month of April, 1904.
Deputy Sheriffs John Bailey
and Arne Solberg we're given the
warrants and, accompanied by
the county attorney, they went
to Blackduck Saturday evening,
prepared to arrest Fournier and
Cyr.
Fournier and Cyr live on claims
a few miles northwestern Quiring
postoffice and about twenty three
miles from Blackduck, in the vi
cinity of the scene of the Dahl
murder. The two deputy sheriffs
drove Ito the homes Of Cyr and
Fournier and accomplished their
arrest, without any resistance or
trouble on the part of the men
wanted. The men were not IN
formedof what they were actually
charged with until they we're
taken to the homes of three men
who were wanted as witnesses,
and who lived near them. Then,
when a brother of Fournier was
subpoenaed as witness, Paul
Fournier and, Gyr became suspi-
cion Of the actions of the officers
and they were told the exact ma
nature of the charge. The ac.
cused men said but very little,
after Owen Fournier, Eugene
Caldwell and William Creiger
had been subpoenaed as wit.
nesses. They were taken to
Blackduck, where they were
lodged in the village jail until this
morning. A careful watch was
kept over the prisoners, and they
were brought to Bemidji this
morning and lodged in the Bel
ira mi county Jail to await a pre-
2liminary hearing on the charge Of
murder.
Both men have been previously
arrested, charged with implicitly
in the Dahl murder, but both
were subsequently, released, the
evidence against them not being
of tangible nature.

MANY CONTESTANTS.
First Requisite for Convention City
is Plenty of Hotels.

Washington. D. c., Oct. 20-Chairman
New of the Republican national commit
tee, who arrived today, had conference
with Elmer Dover, secretary of the COM
mttee when the time for holding the
meeting Of the committee was decided
upon. The official call for the meeting
will be issued within day or two.
According TO Mr.. New, a number of
cities have made formal application TO
secure the next convention, among them
being Chicago, Kansas City, st. Louis,
Denver, Seattle, Atlantic City and Pitts
burg.
From Milwaukee and st. Paul also have
come inquiries as to the prospects for Sc
curing the convention, but Mr.. New said
that at this time he was not committed
to any particular city.
"The next convention is going to at
tract larger number of people than have
heretofore attended" said Mr.. New, 'and
there are four considerations to be taken
into account in deciding upon a place for
holding the convention. The first is the
accessibility of the town. 1t must pos
sess adequate transportation facilities.
Second, ii must have ample first-class
hotel accommodations; third, it must
provide good hall, sufficient in size and
susceptible of being arranged for the
accommodation of the convention, and
further, it must possess adequate facil-
tiles for distribution Of news

WOULD INJURE
THE INNOCENT
Banker BeckWith'S Confession
Regarding Cassie Chadwick
Will Remain Suppressed.

Cleveland, Oct. 20.-The confession of
Banker Beckwith of OberIin, which first
laid bare to federal officials the huge
financial transactions of Mrs. Cassie
Chadwick, will remain a secret of the
government. United States Marshal
Frank NJ Chandler, to whom the con-
fessiOn of the Oberlin banker, now
dead, was made, returned from Wash
ington today, where he laid before the
department of Justice the question of
whether the Beckwith stenographic
statement made to Marshal Chandler
should be given out for publication.
Mr.. Chandler says that the creditors
OF Mrs Chadwick have increasingly
harassed him recently to make 1t pub
lie, but that he has never done so for
the reason that it would injure innO-
cent persons. The department OF JUS
tice, Mr.. Chandler says, informed him
that the matter was wholly optional
with him, and that he will continue 10
suppress it for the reason that the
charges contained in it against many
persons, while they were believed by
Beckwith to be true, were false.
"Beckwith accepted Mrs. Chadwick S
stories about people" said Mr.. Chand-
Ter, 'just as he did about her money,
and he was badly fooled. 1t would not
be right, however, to have these peo-
pies names hawked about and those
stories go out seriously rejecting upon
them, when every one Of the charges
has since been refuted by the most con-
elusive evidence"
Nathan LOesser, receiver in bank
ruptcy for the Chadwick estate. when
informed tonight that the Pittsburg
bank of this city denied that Mrs.
Chadwick had an account with the Sec
ond National bank of that city, re-
piled that he now expects all OF the
pass books of the estate with other
banks will also prove worthless. Mr..
Loesser also conceded with the state
ment of Marshal Chandler that there
are no assets in sight belonging to the
estate.

a stranger had hired from them to drive

turned over to the owners, and although
the CITY officers have used every effort ID

value. Important events will be bune-
tined from time TO time, and IN oroer 70
reach afternoon papers in time for puoh-
cation the utmost expedition would De
necessary. This would call for the maxi
mum amount of wire service. Moreover,
Seattle time is three hours later than
eastern time and afternoon papers In TINS
section could get very LITTLE daily news
from a convention held In Seattle. Inc
average afternoon paper goes TO press
between and o'clock, which is IL or L
o'clock Seattle time. Granting that Seat
tie had ideal telegraph service, eastern pa
pers could not expect to get news OF any
thing that happened later than 1880 In
the morning, which would mean practical,
ly nothing The morning papers would
have a practical monopoly on convention
news, except for the actual nomination OF
a president, which would, of cog'se, mean
extra papers everywhere.
Everything else aside, there is no poll
tics in selecting Seattle as against cities
of the middle west. and it is therefore not
likely that the national committee will re-
peat the mistake made when IL designated
Minneapolis as the convention city some
years ago.
