were heavier than the Cass Lakers
they had to work for every yard

about 80 yards but most of the
gains were made through the line

JUDGE IVES SAYS OUR. : -.
FAIR WAS SUCCESSFUL
Everybody Surprised That Such
Great Crops Have Been Raised
on Pine Barrens.

Cass Lake Times: The Beltrami
County Fair opened last Thursday
morning and before noon the main
building was chock full of the finest
lot OF the fruits of the soil which
we'll bred people eat (when the y can
get them) ever exhibited to an admir-
ing public. - We have attended a
few fairs ii our life time andLhave
seen some large fine specimens of
the earth, but have never seen the
exhibits that were shown at Bemidji,
the exclusive products of soil that
has been condemned as barren,
excelled. Great smooth potatoes,
huge rutabagas,- onions, beets,
tomatoes, pumpkins, squashes, big
enough to make a clearinghouse
keeper tired, and almost everything
that hungry man would covet was
there, elegantly displayed and a
wonder for all.
Doc Rutledge, you all remember
him, secretary of the fair association,
was Ubiquitous, everybody could find
him and everything moved under
his directions like a well-regulated
clock. At 2 o'clock the old settlers
were convened in huge tent on the
grounds and listened to an opening
address by Judge Pendergast, a
recitation of some we'll timed poems
by Mrs. Knappen of Tenstrike, a
rousing speech which stirred the
sluggish blood corpuscles Of. him

the Construction Work the Last Few Days.

Brainerd Dispatch: General Man.
ager Gemmell's official car came
down from International Falls last
night, the first train to arrive in this
city direct from the border. The
ceremony of driving the last. spike
took place on Friday afternoon
about 5 o'clock. The expectation
had been that it would be done on
Thursday, but the weather man had
other plans the first of the week and
it was delayed.
Mr.. Gemmell, Mr.. Strachan, Con.
struction Engineer Huss of the
Northern Pacific and E. w. Backus,
Of the Backus-Brooks company, pro.
prietors of the International Falls
town site, and originators of the
extension, came down on a special
train, arriving in this city at $50,
just in time for Messrs. Backus and
Huss to catch No. 10 for the twin
cities.
Supt. Strachan, who returned with
the party states that there was a
great celebration at international
over the arrival of the train at that
place. A large refreshment booth
was erected at the end of the track
and the local committee told the
steel gang that there was free re.
freshments liquid and otherwise on
tap as soon as the last spike vas

driven. The way the crew worked
was a caution and the work was
completed at five O'Clock. Nearly
all the inhabitants of both Interna-
tional Falls and Ft. Francis were
present to see the last spike driven.
In the evening there was ban.
quet rendered the railroad officials.
Speeches were made by E.W. Backus,
General Manager Gemmell and MI.
G. w. Huss, superintendent of con-
struction, on behalf of the railroad,
and by prominent local speakers on
behalf of the community. The ban
quet he states was a very elaborate
one and finely served. II
No definite arrangements have
been made as to service pending the
completion of getting the road bed
in shape for regular trains. The
present passenger service will be
extended to International Falls as
soon as the road bed can be gotten
in condition to permit it, which
will, it is expected, be some time
during the month of October, prob
ably the latter part. A big extra
gang, which has been working on
the NJ. &. l., will be moved to the.
extension Sunday night, and Will
commence work on the ballasting,

place at the home of the brides

formed silken aisle from the broad
stairway to the improvised altar in
the living room, before which the

altar was made of white lilies and
feathery asparagus fern which ap-
peared all the more beautiful in its
mistiness, under the golden lights of
the chandeliers with their yellow
shades.
Miss Ruth Lincoln of Fergus
Falls was maid of honor and another
little cousin of the bride, Louise
Gedney was ring bearer. Stuart

Eight Jurors Had Been Secured Up TO.
the Hour Of Going
to Press. .,@
THE JURORS:
NELs NELSON,
THOMAS MOORE,
FRANK MESSERALL,
HENRY EVANS,
WILLIAM RICE,
HARRY BOWERS,
THEODORE LEE,

The work of selecting a jury in
the case of the state against Peter
Mathieson, which began Friday
afternoon, has proven a harder task
than yet undertaken in any murder
trial in Beltrami county.
No jurors were selected from the
regular panel which was exhausted
Friday night, and out of a special
venire of twenty-five, five jurors
were chosen Saturday. A special.
venire of twenty-five returnable this
morning has been the material
worked on today, and up to $50
this afternoon out of twelve ex-
amined, three had been selected,
making total of eight jurors for
the trial up to time of going to press.
1t is hoped to complete the jury by
tonight and begin the case tomorrow
morning.
The greatest trouble in selecting
a jury in this case is the wide pub.
licity that the murder attracted, and
it is hard to find men who have. not
heard the facts discussed, and
formed some opinion.
