Died at HawIey.

Geo. Sands, aged 81 years,passed
away at the Northwestern hotel in
this city, Sunday morning about
eleven O'Clock. His home was at
Port Huron, Mich, at which place
he has two sons and two daughters.
He had been working on the road
here for some time, until recently
when he has been too, weak for work.
He left a statement in which he
said he had $40, watch and re-
volver, also claim in Beltrami
county, but the description is SO
meagre that the location is not
known.
Coroner Vincent of Moorhead
was here Monday but decided an
inquest was not necessary. He
found $16 in the clothes of the
deceased, instead of $40. The body
was taken to Thysell's undertaking
rooms where it was prepared fol

TELEPHONE FROM PARK

Company Formed at Park Rapids to
Build line---WiII Connect with

An association has been formed
at Park Rapids for the purpose of
building and equipping telephone
line from that village to the Itasca
State Park and several postohices
and stores near the park.
At present there is no connection,
except by mail (which is taken by
stage and is rather uncertain of
delivery between the points at the
park and Park Rapids and Bemidji,
and the increasing number of people
who stay at the park each succeed
ing summer has, lead several Park
Rapids business men and capitalists
to the conclusion that a telephone
line from that place to the park
points (Which wilLalso be connected
with the long-distance lines at Park
Rapids for other outside places) will
be paying venture.
An association has been formed.

O'Neil, president; William Tabor,
vice president; w: R. B. Smyth,
secretary-treasurer; board of direct
ors, O. S. Keay, H. Alexander, DR..

Rice. The company has ample
capital to properly finance the enter
prise and conduct the phone system
successfully. S ..ez
The plans and specifications for
the construction of the line have
been prepared, and S. E. Nickel of
Arago has offered to construct the
line (Which will cover about thirty
miles) for 500 per mile.
The line will connect with Idle
wild Inn (Heinzelmann's summer
resort at Lake Itasca) the Park
house and Douglas lodge, and it is
probable that two wires will be
strung, one for through business and
the other for local use.

WOULD CLAIM A REWARD
FOR WESLEY CONVICTION
Chief Of Police at Green Bay Files Claim With Governor
Johnson...County Attorney Funkley Denies Correct
ness of Green Bay Mans Claim.

Solberg, about four weeks before
that. The arrest of Wesley by the
Green Bay police was made about
three years ago, from which he was
released, and had enjoyed his
liberty for more than a year when
he was again picked up, by Mr..
Solberg and convicted. Mr.Solberg
is not claiming any reward, nor is
the county attorney. 1t was clever
work on the part of Mr.. Solberg
that brought about the arrest upon
which Wesley was convicted, and he
was in no manner aided by the
arrest that had been made by the
Green Bay police several years
before.
Il think the claim for the reward
is unreasonable. On general prin-
ciples, do not believe in rewards,
anyway. Offering of rewards for
the apprehension of criminals may,
and / do believe sometimes does, aid
in the miscarriage of justice-inno-
cent men being convicted by over
jealous reward-seekers, who care
more for the reward than for a con-
viction on the merits. Again, such
offers of reward are always an
obstacle in the way of the prosecu-
ton, in that it is made to appear
that the reward is motive for man.
ufacturing evidence against the
accused.
The best piece of work that has
ever been done in this country in
apprehending a criminal was done
by John Bailey, couple of months
ago, when he arrested Mathiesen on
the Pacific coast, for the murder of
johnson, at Tenstrike. That job is
absolutely WITHOUT any parallel, all
circumstances considered, and there
was not one cent of reward offered.
An efficient officer doing his
plain duty will do more for his con-
stituancy and accomplish fairer re-
suits than the motives actuating the
ordinary reward seeker"

An article which has been pub
lished in some of the twin city and
Duluth papers is to the effect that
Gov. Johnson has received claim
for reward of $500 which was
offered by Gov. S. r. VanSant in
July of 1904. On that date the
state offered the reward for the arrest
and conviction of the murderers of
N. O. Dahl and his daughter Aagot
Dahl, in Beltrami county.
James Wesley was arrested and
later convicted, according to the
story published in the twin city and
Duluth papers, and is now serving
life sentence for the crime in the
Saltwater prison.
The reward, for some strange
reason, say the papers, was never
demanded by anyone, until last
Saturday. Now comes William E.
Finnegan, who at that time was
chief of police at Green Bay, Wis,
and claims the reward as being the
man who caused the arrest and
furnished conviction evidence. 1t
is likely that the claim of Finnegan
will cause others to be made, doubt
less by some men who we're then in
authority in Beltrami county," con-
cludes the article published in the
daily press.
Henry Funkley of this city, county
attorney of Beltrami county, and
who prosecuted Wesley and Fournier
for the murder of N. 0. Dahl and
secured their conviction last spring,
was shown the article referring to
the reward claimed by Finnegan.
He says, relative to the reward and
Finnegan's claim therefor:
1t is difficult to understand how
the reward referred to in the twin
city and Duluth papers in the
slightest degree contributed to the
conviction of Wesley.
Wesley was convicted in the
latter part of March last, and was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Arne

MISSISSIPPI DRIVE IS

Nine Million Feet Of Logs, Belonging to

The big river full of logs, known
as the Mississippi river Drive, "has

and Schoolcraft rivers and is an.
chored from the sorting works on
the southern shore of Lake Irving
and stretching back on the Missis
sippi river in solid jam for at
least eight miles.
The logs in this drive number
some nine million feet, and are the
property of the Crookston Lumber
company and the Grand Forks Lum-
Der company. The logs belonging
to the Grand Forks company are
being taken to the East Grand Forks
mill as rapidly as they can be hoisted
from Lake Irving and put on the G..

Crookston company's logs will be
RATED across Lake Irving and through
the narrows into Lake Bemidji,to be
sawed at the Crookston company's

A large number of men employed
on the drive (called river hogs")
were paid off Saturday and dis
charged, and their trade in the city
was Of considerable benefit to the

THE M'|NTOSH BASEBALL
TEAM IS EASY PICKING
Boys who Beat Fosston Never in the
'Running"---Otto Pitches Good
Game.

The Bemidji ball team won from
Mcintosh, yesterday afternoon, by a
score of 10 to 7, the game being a
fierce combination of good and bad
playing, including good hitting on
the part of Bemidji when at bat
and rank fielding when their oppo-
nents were using the cudgel; and
Mcintosh also made many fumbles
and wild heaves that counted in the
run-getting.
Bemidji was clearly entitled to
the game, the much-heralded
Narveson being pitched to a stand
still by Otto, the local slab artist.
The Bemidji players took kindly to
Narveson's twisters, from the start,
Louis Royleading his teammates with
two corking two-baggers. Every
other member of the team took
crack at Narveson's delivery.
The Mcintosh HEAVIER, who had
been using an illegal delivery all
through the game, sulked when the
umpire "a Mcintosh NAM finally
called balk on him in the seventh
inning, and quit, the Bemidji players
having pounded his curves to
the four corners of the lot, earlier
in the inning.
Otto pitched a fine game. But
two hits were secured off his delivery
up to the last inning, and when he
had the game safely slowed away,
the big fellow let up and Mcintosh
got around the bases for three runs,
they being given very able assistance
by some yellow fielding behind Otto.
The Mcintosh team recently
defeated Fosston, and as the latter
team gave Bemidji her only defeat
this season, the dope" would
indicate that the game lost to Foss-
ton was fuke. .. $..-.
