Passion Play at the Brlnkman.

Manager Brinkman, of the Brink
man Family theatre, has frequently
been requested to put on the Pas
sion play at his theatre, as it has
never before been put on in this
city, and as Mr.. Brinkman is ever
anxious to please his patrons, has
decided to grant this request, al
though it will be tremendous ex-
pense, as the Passion play, consist
ing of 1000 feet of film will be put
on tomorrow evening.
Mr.. Brinkman has engaged one
of the most able pastors in the
city to explain this great play as it
is thrown upon the screen. This is
something you should not miss.
Bring the children, they will enjoy
it and it will be very instructive.
Owing to lack of seating place
and the fact that the children as
rule hold seat throughout the
three shows, Mr.. Brinkman will be
obliged to charge IS cents straight
while this play is on.

WILL MAKE APPEAL TO
THE INDIAN Department
Game and Fish Commission Will TRY
and Make Indians Cease Killing
Caribou.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press of
yesterday contained the following:
ALTHOUGH it has been supposed
for several years that caribou were
no longer to be found in Minnesota,
except stray animal now and then,
it is now reported that there is a
herd of fifty to sixty in, the region
northeast of the north arm of Red
Lake in Beltrami county. Reports
have also been received by Carlos
Avery, executive agent of the state
game and fish commission, that the
Indians on Red Lake Indian reser-
ton have been killing some of these
caribou during the winter, and the
matter will be taken up with the in
terror department in an effort to re-
train the Indians from killing off
this last herd. .... ...
Some years ago, there were a
number of caribou in this state, but
of late years they have almost dis
appeared and it was supposed that
following their migratory instincts
they had left in body in search of
new feeding grounds. Recently,
however, reports have been received
of the presence of a herd of the
animals in the swampy inaccessi-
bic region to the northeast of the
upper end of Red Lake.
It was also reported that the
Indians had killed number, prob
ably about a dozen, during the
past winter, and A. G.. Rutledge of
Bemidji, deputy game warden, has
just returned from trip into that
country with evidence substantial
ing the assertion. He found two
fresh caribou scalps in the posses.
sion of settlers who had obtained
them from Indians passing through
that part of the country.
The difficulty in stopping the
slaughter Of this last remnant OF
the caribou herds in this state is

JUNGLE SAM" IS GETTING
AFTER The LAND CROOKS
Thievfng Land Locaters May Find
Themselves in the Grip of
the Law.

In the Duluth News. Tribune Of
yesterday, Neil Morrison, receiver Of
the U. S. land Office at Duluth,
sounds a note of warning against
dishonest locators who have been in
the habit of "stringing" those who
want to be located on desirable
homesteads or timber claims.
Bemidji has had several locators,
and there have been some in nearby
towns, who have located local parties
on claims. While none of these
gentlemen can be accused of wrong.
doing, in any particular, it might be
we'll to caution those desiring loca-
tons to be careful in dealing with
locaters whom they do not know.
The News. Tribune says:
THE United States government is
keeping a sharp lookout for "locat-
ers" who deal sharpley with their
clients. A number of cruisers who
have been accused, on various &C.
casions, of dealing unfair with their
customers are in the limelight and
the next move they make will cause
them to be brought into court to
answer for their wrongdoing.
If the men who file sn home
steads would only be confidential
with US, we could help them out in
great number of cases." said
Receiver Neil Morrison of the local
land Office yesterday. On various
occasions we have told men who
were seeking homesteads to look out
for certain fellows who were locat-
ing them, as they were crooked. In
neary every instance the prospec-
tive homesteader would become
angry and as much as tell US that
we did not know what we were
talking about. Of coarse when they
come to prove up their claim and
find that they have paid several
hundred dollars for nothing they
wish they had taken our advice.
1T is an easv matter for a locator
to fool the average man who wants
to take up homestead. The gen.
eral public, as a rule, knows abso-
lutely nothing about the lay of the
land, directions or locations. When
he is taken out and shown a tract of
timber he can be handed any kind
of description and he cannot say
whether it is right or wrong. Several
times our attention has been called
to instances where three or more
men have been located on the same
claim by the same cruiser and none
of them had the right description.
This kind of locator usually
shows his victim nice bunch of
timber with river flowing through
it, and he bites hard right away.
He pays his good money, thanks
the cruiser heartily for securing
sue h a nice tract of pine for him
and goes on his way rejoicing.
But when he comes to prove up
he finds himself defrauded, he gets
very sore.
"Other locaters, who are not
quite so bad, pick out homesteads
for their clients and then watch
every move to see that they live
up to the very letter of the law.
Any time that they do not they
locate another customer on the same
