national Falls Sunday evenings,
leaving the border town at 7:3o
p, m.
Under the schedule, the train is
due to arrive in Bemidji at $40
tomorrow morning, and it is hoped
that the hotelkeepers of the city
will be on hand to meet the train
and care for any passengers who
may come this way.
Owing to the fact that the
weather has been abomniable for
the past four days, it is not
thought that many will come on
this first train, but it is believed
that If the attractions are adver-
tised fully, many twin city people
will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity offered hereafter of spend
ing day among the lakes of the
north half of the state.

already received a whole LOT of en-
couragement.
Mr.. Hazen ran for sheriff in the
general election against Thomas
Bailey, two years ago, and he made
great fight, despite many obstacles
which would have disheartened most
ordinary men. His run was such a
phenomenal one, and he has received
so many encouraging assurances of
support if he will be a candidate
again, that he has decided to enter
the field for the republican nominal
nation for sheriff.
These requests have been so
strong and Of so frequent reiteration
that Mr.. Hazen has come to the
conclusion that he can be elected
sheriff this fall, hence his announced
candidacy.
A. B. Hazen came to IBemidji
when this city was but a babe" as
it were, there being but few white
settlers in the community at that
time. Mr.. Hazen has " grown up
with Bemidji and has been closely

identified with every progressive
movement for the benefit of the city
and county at large. He has a
splendid insight into the public
affairs Of the county and, it elected
to the Office, will undoubtedly make
agood sheriff. He possesses all the
qualifications for frst-class sheriff,

May Have Blue Lodge at Fails. !"

William P. Roberts of St. Paul,
grand commander of the Minnesota
grand lodge Of Masons, was at
International Falls Tuesday, look
ing over that place to form an.
opinion as to whether the applica-
ton Of ..Falls" Masons for dis
pensation to institute blue lodge
there was worthy of favorable con-
sideration. 1t is understood that
the grand master was very favor
ably impressed, and it's more than
likely that the dispensation will be
granted.

miles ever pulled off in the north
west, as Bemidji undoubtedly pos
sesses the best haIf-mile track in
Minnesota.
There will be a good attendance
of fast horses at this meet, among
which will be Little Jim," the fast
Hibbing PAGER, who is the general
favorite here. Little JIM will be
driven by bob" Cherry, who is
really about as much of an attrac-
ton as his noted little horse.
There will other horses here fast
enough to give the two speedy ones
close race.
The races will be called at 1:3O in
the afternoon, SO as not to interfere
with the ball game which will prob
ably be played on those dates, al
though no game is at present sched-
uled for Saturday, the goth.
It is the intention of the promoters
OF the horse races to induce the M.
& I. railway company to run special
train from International Falls to
Bemidji. This could be easily done
if the company were willing as the
regular passenger train lays over
Sunday at International Falls and
could be run on its regular weekly
schedule to this place and back to
the sFalls.n

The members of the Bemidji
Jockey Club have finally decided
that they will surely hold the pro-
posed race meet in this city on June
20-21, in conjunction with the fourth
annual meeting of the state Associa-
ton of Elks, which meets here June
$1,000.
The Jockey club is planning for
an elaborate program of races and
already the promoters are assured of
the speediest "goers" in the state.
The program for the first day,
June 20, includes the 2:22-class trot
or pace, and the 3-minute class trot
or pace.
On June FL there will be a 2:28.
class trot or pace and free-for-all
trot or pace.
It is probable-that some running
races will also be placed on the pro-
gram both days.
The last day of the races will
undoubtedly see the state half-mile
track record shattered as the dis
lance flag will be waved in the free
for-all trot or pace and Prince
Hal" whose record is 2:O6A, will be
sent for a rd-breaking mile heat.
AS the horse is in splendid condition
the residents of this vicinity will
undoubtedly see one of the fastest

and as he is well.known throughout
the entire county, his candidacy will
undoubtedly meet with success.
Mr.. Hazen is a strong republican
and has always labored for the well
fare of the party and he is deserving
of consideration at the hands Of the
republicans in the selection of candi-
dates of the party for sheriff.

Sentiment is rapidly gaining
Roadway that the State Bar asso-
citation investigation of the Root
Gordon charges will be softly
dropped. so far at least, as Root
is concerned. A movement has de-
veloped in Seattle, Roots home, to
have him qualify for the new term
of six years to which he was elect
ed this fall, in spite of the fact
that he resigned under fire. Ac-
cording to this version of the case
it is known that Judge Root has
by no means determined that his
days upon the supreme bench are
endVd. If the committee reports
before January II, as 1t probably
will, and the report should find that
Root Is guilty only of indiscreitons,
and these not of very serious ma
ture, Root will undoubtedly qualify
and take his seat for the six year
term to which he was elected last
month.
In this even, however, there
would be the probability of legis-
lative investigation of the whole
matter. With Root in Office, the
legislature could appoint commit

es to appear before 1t. and In this

tee has been unable to secure.
The legislature can investigate
only for the purpose of impeach-
ment. With Root out OF Office there
could be no impeachment, but In
office proceedings could be taken
Whether or not the Legislature
would investigate would probably
depend to very great extent upon
the report Of the bar committee.

CHAPTER XIV.
IN PERIL BY NIGHT,

To say that I was alarmed would
fall far short Of describing my first
sensations. lam no heroine, and I
have no desire to pose as one, but
l was really more angry than
frightened for myself in the min
utes that succeeded my entrap-
ment.
went back to the window in the
hope that q closer examination of
my surroundings would reveal
some means of escape overlooked
in my first alarm. But no; the
strong current of the mill stream
surged beneath me, the walls of
the house seeming to rise from the
very brink of the natural bank.
There was not foothold for a mouse
between the damp brickwork and
the fast flowing flood, which would
have carried any but the strongest
swimmer into the mill race long
before the opposite bank, 40 feet
away, could be reached. For me
even the attempt was hopeless, for
l could not swim at all.
turned my attention next to the
more distant prospect without
meeting any encouragement. From
the opposite bank the ground rose
quickly, limiting my horizon to a
hedge which formed the sky line
200 yards up the hillside, and as
the field was covered with growing
corn, scarcely yellowed as yet, no
one to whom could appeal for as
sistance was likely to come within
hearing. A month later the har-
vesters would be busy there, but
where then should l be?
On the chance that there might
be another window parallel with
that at which stood, and to which
at the risk of downing could
swing myself, l leaned out and
scanned the wall to the right of
me. Yes, there was a window
could see its projecting sill-but II
was so far away as to preclude all
idea of reaching 1t in safety.
l turned to the other side, and
here, though there was no window
at all between me and the tumble
down annex that had contained the
machinery over the water wheel
my despairing scrutiny was ar
rested by an object within touch OF
my hand. 1t was metal rain pipe
running down from the caves into
the stream, and, as forlorn hope
might be used as means for
climbing to an upper window or to
the roof.

Cured: Why had not the wretch
killed me when he stole to the door
ito close and lock it? l had been
within few feet Of him then, with
my back to the door. The answer;
to my mind, seemed a simple one,
and confirmatory of my suspicious.
He had not used his pistol on me
then because, with all the chances
in his favor, there was yet the one
chance of his missing me-a risk
he dared not run, because II I saw
him should recognize him. If he
had missed me and l had leaped
through the window into the river
there would have been the remote
possibility of my survival, and my
survival under these circumstances
would have meant his ruin.

intention was to kill me without

him, and unless he grew reckless

things as knowledge is counted in
a court of law.
The minutes grew into hours,
and the lengthening shadows OF
evening found me still standing in
the bare, unfinished room. And
the. when the shadows had deep
ened into twilight, l was made sud-
denly aware that l was not alone in
the Mill House after all--that the
invisible one had not gone away,
but was horribly, cruelty active.
The first sign l had of his presence

minutes interval, and so keenly
were my nerves attuned now to
danger that could as good as see
what was going on at the other
side of the door. Someone was pill
ing up straw and brushwood with
a view of setting fire to the house.
This conjured up horror became
terrible reality almost as soon as
pictured the invisible fiend at his
ruthless work. A faint crackle
reached my straining ears-a
crackle that with every fleeting
second grew in volume, till smoke
