KILLING OF THE DAHLS
WAS MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
N. 0. Dahl and His Daughter Aagot of Crookston Took
Homestead in Northern Minnesota Old Man and
Young Woman Ruth,essly Slain. @

The killing Of N. @. Dahl and his
daughter Aagot was one of the
most cold-blooded and brutal muir
ders in the annals of crime in
northern Minnesota.
An almost helpless old man,
White-haired and past o2 years Of
age, weighing but 80 pounds; and
a young woman, 23 years old,
sickly, frail, and without suspicion
as to danger of any kind-the vic
Tins of unknown murders who shed
blood in the hope of obtaining. a
few paltry dollars, believing that
their identity would never: be dis
covered, and, knowing we'll the iso-
lated condition Of. the country, were
confident that the bodies Of the old
man and his daughter would never
be found.
N: O. Dahl was. for many years a
resident of Polk county, and was in
Croolston for months at a time. He
had three daughters, two of whom
were married to Crookston business
me11-C. G. Strander and O. C..
Rood-the other daughter (Miss
Aagot) being a school teacher who
taught various schools in Polk
county,. .t. :.:-.:
Mr.. Dahl, whose wife was dead,
decided in 1902 to file on a claim in
northern Beltrami county, the de-
sire to own claim being; the result
of many whom he knew taking
claims in other parts Of the county.
He came to Bemidji, and later filed
on a claim about a mile and a half
east of Quiring Postofice and if-
teen miles northwest Of the village
of Blackduck. At that time there
were very few settlers in the .vici11-
ity of Quiring, and the aged Dahl
decided to induce his daughter
Aagot (Wlo was in poor healthy
to come from Croolzston and take
a claim near his, in the bracing air
of the pines, where she could re
gain her strength. Miss Dahl-cane
from her home and filed On a claim

The county attorney Of Beltrani
county Oh. J. Loud was consulted
lat Bemidii, and the unraveling of
the mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of the Dahls was placed
in the hands Of Mr.. Loud and Sher-
tiff Bailey, who at once began a
searching inquiry as to the where
abouts of Mr.. Dahl and Aagot.
The efforts of the officers to find
la trace of the missing ones was
without avail, and rewards were
offered to anyone who would find
the body Of either This resulted in
many detectives from different
parts Of the country aiding in the
search, with but poor success, and
the mysterious disappearance of the
'Dahls became a. much-discussed
matter.
Nothing in the form of clue as
to the whereabouts of the missing
Dahls was unearthed until the ev-
ening Of July 10th, 1904, when Eu-
gene Coldwell and Owen French,
two honesteaders living near the
Dahl claims, came to Blackduck
and reported that they had found
the body of N. O. Dahl under the
roots of big balsam tree near his
ishack. The county authorities at
Bemidji were notified and the
county attorney, sheriff and coroner
visited the scene. The body was in
a bad state of decomposition, but
was brought to Benlidji and an au-
topsy held, resulting in locating a
wound in the skull, made by rifle
bullet, which had caused death.
The body was shipped to Crooks
ton and buried there, and an at
tempt was made to detect the perpe-
traitors of the crime of having killed
the old man.
Eugene Coldwell and Paul Four
nier were arrested, charged with
killing Dahl, and both men were
bound over to the grand jury. The
grand jury returned indictments
against Fournier and James Wes-
ley, the latter having lived at the
home of Coldwe1l, and suspicion
was directed against him, connect
ing him with the crime. Fournier
was held in the county Jail, await
ing the finding of James Wesley,
whose whereabouts we're unknown.
On October II, 1904, County At
torney Loud had the Indictment
against Four11ier annulled, the evil
dence not being considered strong
enough against the prisoner to war
rant trying him on the charge of

IN shacks on their claims, and were
apparently on very friendly terms
with all their neigl1bors. Miss Dahl
visited in Crookston during the
month of September, 1903, with her
relatives, and that was the last time
she was seen there alive. She re-
turned, to her claim, and was never
seen again outside the home OF
neighbors in the vicinity of OUR
ing.
:. Mr.. Dahl was seen i'm Crookston
during the month of January, 1904
having sold the. timber on his claim:
while he was in that city, realizing
ST 300 therefor. Mr.. Dahl returned
TO Quiring, taking only about Sc

his timber. :. =
): The Dahls mingled, with thei1
,reighbors quite freely, in the neigh,
borhood of Quiring, and were offer
seen at Quiring postofice, until the
|month of March, 1904, when thei1
visits to the postohice ceased, about
the last Of the month. No mail ad-
dressed to the Dahls was called fol
at the postohlce,> and letters &C;
cum11lated until a suspicion was
aroused that the continued absence
'of the old man and his daughter
was due to their having either left
for Crookston on a visit, or had
been made away with.

at Crookston brought replies to the

FEET OUT.
She Had Curious Habits.

When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because of the
neat and prickly sensation, il. is time
tnat coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There is no end to the con-
ito that coffee will produce. 1t
shows in one way in one person and
IN another way in another. In this
case the lady lived in s. Oak. She
says:
Il have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coolest nights, and felt
AFRAID to sleep for fear of catching
cold. I had been troubled for years
With twitching and jerking of the
W limbs, and for most of the time
l have been unable to go to church
or to lectures because of that awful
feeling that I must keep on the move.
When it was brought to my atten-
ton that coffee caused so many nerv-
Gus diseases, 1 concluded to drop cof-
lee and take Postum Food Coffee to
zee If my trouble was caused by cof-
fee drinking.
1 only drank one cup of coffee for
breakfast, but that was enough to do
the business for me. When quit it
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now 1 have no
more of the jerking and twitching

EertiIizer for wheat.

In some parts of the East farmers are
giving up wheat growing. Many of them
think it useless to try and compete with
the newer and richer soils of the West.
Many argue that wheat growing is profta-
bic only on new and rich soil. Mr.. G. r..
Mckenzie, of Westfield. New Brunswick.
undertook TO see if by the use of chemical
fertilizers on poor soil he could not COM
pete with Western grain fields.
He selected a piece of dark loan. slight
~ g~ravelly soil which had had no fertilizer
for ten years. 1t had been ia grass, and
farmers can readily understand It's poor
condition for grain. In order to test the
soil. Mr.. Mckenzie used nothing on one
part of the field. On another part he used
Thomas Phosphate to supply phosphoric
acid and nitrate of soda to supply nitrogen.
On another part be used the phosphate
and the nitrate and in addition. muriate
of potash. The object of this was to see
which element was the key to a wheat
crop on that soil.
Potash gave the yield. The answer was
clear, as the following figures show:

The natural soil gave only 10 bushels.
The phosphate and the nitrate brought
the yield to % bushels, but when the
potash was added there was an increased
that this increase was directly due to the
potash. and when we compare the cost of
the potash with the price received for l6
bushels of Wheat we see that few other
farm investments could nave paid so well.
Consider the price of wheat and straw on
IN Eastern farm and it is plain that no
Westernswheat field can compare acre for
acre with such a yield as 30 bushels. The
main reason why some Eastern farmers
say that wheat viii not pay is because the.
use the wrong kind of fertilizer. They

wonder their yield is poor. Mr.. McEen-
zie's experiment shows why The wheat
crop demands potash. If the 1ol will lot
supply it the fertilizer must do so.
