ton and religious propensities, has
designs upon the matrimonial state
and contemplates joining the ranks
of the benedicts in the near future.
It is known by truthful people in
this vicinity that John, while visiting
in Bemidji last Saturday, applied to
the clerk of court for the necessary
documents wherewith he may take
unto himself helpmeet and some
one who could reform his desperate
career.
When John left, Saturday night
for Northome he took along with
him an array of raiment that was
decidedly suspicious, among the
outfit being a, miscellaneous collec-
ton of feminine clothing which no
single man should have in his
possession.
We await developments.

Des Moines, Sept. 9.-By deadlock

The differende between me and a
number others in the City of
Bemidji, to whom Brose is owing
money, is that I have success in
collecting my bill, while the others
have not.
1t is an acknowledged fact that
the letter written to C.. O. Moon was
not written or signed by A. B. Allen
of the Sentinel, but was written by
James L. George, one of my oppon-
ents, and he induced Miss Allen to
sign her fathers name to a COM
munication he knew nothing about.
I submit that person who will
impose upon young lady to the
point of getting her to sign name,
which almost constitutes forgery,
will impose upon and deceive the
the public.
Mr.. Aliens denial is reproduced
from the Sentinel, in this issue of
the Pioneer.
I leave it to the great jury-the
people of Beltrami county to decide.

ton, who was Labor day orator

Il mean in the spread of American
ideas in Europe because of it. The
return to their old homes of the thou

dustrial shutdown has meant that to
almost every nook and corner of the
world there has gone some apostle of
Americanism whose precepts and
practice, however humble and insig-
nIficant they may be, still cannot work
but for good. No matter how short
the stay in this country Of some of
them has been they are better for 1t

retrogade. Neither can it be doubted
that they will spread the influence of
America wherever they go.

save the land owners from loss of
land by the sale, I sent by mail a

exhibited the records to him
and after satisfying himself of the
condition of affairs, he rendered
the following verdict, and I chal-
lenge Mr.. C. O. Moon as witness
to it:
mr.. Wilmann, you are right. You
have done exactly as | would have
done were | in your place, and you
are entitled to great credit for what
you have done.''
At the following session of the
county board, held December IA,
1905, presented the matter to the
board, and realizing that it was
great injustice to me that should
be bu1 dened with the work neg
lected by my predecessor, under
whom Mr.. Moon worked, the board
adopted a resolution authorizing me
to secure extra help and charge
the expense to the surety company
in which my predecessor was
bonded.
Colonel Johnson, the public
examiner, stated repeatedly, that
considering the work I had to per-
form, the clerk hire allowed me by
law, was inadequate.
The charges made against me by
Messrs. Moon and Brose is that I
have employed clerk for about
year at $50 per month, entailing an
illegal expenditure of 5000 on current
business.
The report of Deputy Public
Examiner Kahn, who made an exami-
nation of our county for over three
weeks, is now in my hands and
will be presented to the board of
county commissioners and the other
county officials at the session of
said board to be held October 1,
and the interested public is invited
to be present to listen to it.
According to my report, have not
drawn one centiI|egalIy fromthe county,
and the special work for which was
authorized to hire help amounts to
$179.31. Please carry these figures
in YOUR mind until the first Of October,
when the report of the examiners will
be read in full.
AS to the fourth charge accusing
me of extorting money from Mr..
Arthur Brose, while working as
depute under me, I submit the state
