Fined for Violating CD Game Laws

Fined for Violating CD Game Laws.
Louis Schwegel, a farmer liz ing
near Blackduck, was brought to
Bemidji this morning and taken be-
fore Justice Slmons, where he plead
guilty to hunting without a license,
and was fined SIS and costs.
Schwegeps arrest was brought
about by S. C. Bailey, of this city,
who is said to be acting as deputy
game warden since James Cahill
rendered his resignation.
It appears that neighbor
detected Schwegel cleaning a deer
and made complaint.
Schwegel must have been given
some exceedingly strenuous talk, :"
as the game law distinctly states that
no person is required to secure a
license to hunt in his own county,
as the following is the exact word-
ing of the law:
Provided, however, that this
shall notapply to any resident of
said county,"

the expense of repairing the city
we'll was read. F. J. Copp of Min
neapolis was present as the repre-
sentative of Mr.. McCarty. ~,.s.sa
A lengthy discussion followed on
the subject of the city water supply,
in which Mr.. Pogue stated that he
believed that Bemidji would never
have a sufficient supply of water
until the water was secured from the
river or one of the lakes instead of
a we'll.
F. S. Lycan, of the Markham
hotel, was present and asked the
council where the supply of city
water was being taken from, stating
that the water at the hotel was so
cloudy it was not fit for ordinary
purposes, let alone drinking it. Mr..
Lycan stated that it was customary
at Grand Forks, N. D., for the city
officials to notify the people to boil
their water when the mains were
being repaired and the water was
unfit for drinking purposes. If the
water in Bemidji was not sanitary
Mr.. Lycan wanted to know it and
be given a chance of purifying it
before he used the water.
To the surprise of the council and
the mayor, Street Commissioner
Miller stated. that the water was
being secured from the surface wells,
which are about forty feet deep. In
reply to a question from Mr.. Lycan,
neither the council or the street
commissioner knew whether the
water from these wells was sanitary
or not. The water had never been
tested.
The street commissioner was noti-
fed several weeks ago to pump
water from the surface wells until
the machinery in the big we'll had
been repaired. Mr., Copp, the we'll
man from Minneapolis stated this
that the we'll had been
for a week or ten days.
Upon motion, Street Commission
er Miller was instructed to pump the
city water from the big we'll instead of
the shallow ones and, in the future,
to notify the people through the news
papers when the surface water was
being pumped into the mains. The
transfer was made this morning.
The Water and Light committe
we're instructed to meet this morn
ing with Mr.. Copp and consult with
him in regard to the cost of stopping
the flow of sand in the big we'll and
to report to the council at the next
meeting.
Alderman Brinkman, Smart and
E. J. Gould were appointed CON-
mittee to devise the best means of
dealing with the city poor after

Bound Copies Of City Charter for SO.

The Pioneer will soon print and
bind copies of the Bemidji city
charter, bound volumes of which
have been greatly desired for some
time, and will deliver the books,
neatly and substantially bound, to
order, for the small sum Of So.
A representative of the Pioneer
will call on you, or you can call at
the office and sigu for one or more
volumes, at the stated price.
Obtaining copies of the charter
has been a matter that has worried
many people of the city, and how to
get them printed has never been
taken up. AS stated before: the
Pioneer is taking orders for bound
volumes of the charter and will de-
liver them for So per copy.
Leave your order early if you de-
sire copy.

THE CHARTER OAK.
Bells TolIed and Funeral Dirses Played
When II Fell

The charter oak Of Hartford was q
white oak. The story goes that when
James, duke of York. ascendcd the
throne of England and sent Andros to
take away all colonial charters Con
necticut alone refused to surrender
hers. Andres was furious over this
defiance, and Oct. 81, 1851 he returned
to the assembly hall Of Hartford with
a body Of soldiers and demanded in
stant surrender Of the charter, which
lay I'm a box on the table. A hot dis,
cussion followed. Finally AndroS
stretched ont his hand to seize the
disputed paper. Then the candles
were suddenly eXtinguiShcd. and the
people who had gathered on the street
outside rushed in II diSordcrly crowd
into the hall. There was n period Of
wild confusion I'm the dark. and when
the candles were finally relighted no
charter was To I've found. 1t had bCch
removed by Captain Wadsworth And
concealed in the oak, which ever after
ward bore Its name.
The oak was even then old. when
the first settlers were clearing their
land the Indians begged that II might
be spared. 1T has been the guide of
our ancestors for centuries they shld.
