become frantic. He caught the
little fellow by the feet and holding
him by the heels gave him few
shakes, whereby the quarter fell on

Frank Stoppenbach of Jefferson,
travelling representative of the well
known packing house of his name
of that city, got himself in curious
predicament at the Wright house
where he was a guest on Wednes-
day morning. He arose at an early
hour as usual and dressed, but
could not get out of his room. The
lock in the door refused to turn and
he was practically prisoner so far
as egress in that direction was con-
cerned. All efforts to arouse any
one to aid him failed so he went to
the window and waited for some
passerby to hail. Lou Eberle
of Richland Center happened along
and Frank told him of his
trouble. Mr.. Eberle notife1 Clerk
Jane at the Office and Bill made a
trip to the room. He could not
faze the door either, SO he secpred
ladder and placed it at the wisdom
from the outside. Then the anus
ing part of the program came in.
The travelling man was afraid to
run any chances of getting out IN
this manner, and after several I'M
successful attempts to land his man
Mr.. Jane was oblidge to go up the
ladder, enter the room and remove
the door from the hinges to rescue
the guest. The circumstance was
witnessed by score of early risers
who happened along the street.

When newspaper man has yelled
himself hoarse trying to persuade
people to patronize home merchants,
and incidentally stumbles on the
fact that some of the fellows he is
trying to protect are sending away
for their job printing or using

powder houses or other concerns,
it rather shakes his faith in man
kind, and makes reciprocity look to
him like a lead dime with ahole in
it.

Washington to Get Patent on
Motor.

George Horton, chief of police
at Blackduck, and j. G.. Smith,
also of Blackduck, passed
through the city this morning on
their way to Washington, on an
important business mission.
Messrs. Horton and Smith
have recently invented an air
motor, >on which they intend to
secure patent, and their visit to
the national capital is for the pur-
pose of appearing before the
u. S. patent Office and making
application for patent. They
claim that this motor is a de.
parture from any motor yet put
on the market and will revolu-
tionize the manner of generating
power, and at the same time fur
nish the cheapest power on the
market.

to install settlers means much
to Beltrami county in the way
of future development along agri
cultural lines.
Mr.. Tait, who has had many
years experience in dealing in
lands of the northwest, states
that the wonderful productive.
ness of the soil of this north
country is attracting the atten-
tion of land men from all parts
OF the country and also residents
in other states who desire to
make new homes, and that Bel
trami county will surely take
it's place as the center of land
deals of large proportions.
The visit to this country during
last fall of soil experts and other
we'll vorsed in the agricultural
possibilities of Beltrami county
lands, and the very favorable
reports which these experts
made, is having it's effects, and
the eyes of men interested in
land are turned northward, with
Beltrami county as the center
of investigation.

When Moore was first arrested,
it was on complaint of a party
living at Bovey, who claimed that
he had given Moore money and
was entitled to a certificate in
the American Realty company of
New York; that Moore had not
delivered the certificate, as
promised, and he (the Bovey

The latter was arrested in Mime

KILLED AN OLD FRIEND;
MANSLAUGnTER CHARGED
William Buchite Mistook Louis KInq,
for a Deer and Is Being Tried
at Brainerd.

Brainerd, Jan. 4 Especial to
the Pioneer. The entire jury
panel was exhausted in district
court here last Saturday in an
effort to secure jury for the
trial of William Buchite. charged
with shooting Louis King, mis-
taking him for a deer.
This is the first case to come
up for trial under the 1905 game
laws, which makes the penalty
for man shooting manslaughter,
and much interest is being taken
in the progress of the trial.
The shooting occurred last
November, near Lake Emily, in
Grow Wing county, four miles
south of the Cass county line,
and five miles west of Cross
lake. Bnchite was in the EN-.
ploy of the Cross Lake Lumber
company and was going through
the woods when he saw what he
supposed was a deer. He brought
his gun to his shoulder and fred,
the object falling to the ground.
Buchite rushed to where he had
seen the "deer,'' when he dis
coved that he had shot one of his
best friends. He staid with
King until he died, and did
everything in his power to atone
for his carelessness.
Nearly everyone in Grow Wing
county is acquainted with the
circumstances surrounding the
case, and as Kings friends en-.
tirely exonerate Buchite from
any intention to kill King, it is
a difficult matter to secure i'm.
partial jurors for the trial.

ings.
On the night of December 20,
several Bemidji parties who had
had dealings with Moore and his
associates, Franklin Anderson
and a. W. Cherry, got together
and after discussing the matter,
laid their complaints before
County Attorney Mcdonald, who
caused warrants to be issued for
the arrest of Moore, Anderson
and Cherry.
Sheriff Bailey was given the
warrants and left that night for
Minneapolis, learning of the
whereabouts of his men by some
clever work. ALI three we're

Moore having been released on

''staH'' the Beltrami officers and
get the men from their custody,
with the result that, after some
lively ''sparring,'' Sheriff Bailey
and County Attorney Mcdonald
got away with Cherry and An
derson, but Moore was held at
Minneapolis through habeas
corpus proceedings.
Anderson and Cherry plead
guilty to charges here and paid
fines.
