ident 0. J. Tagley Given Hot Roast.-Attorney Gen.
eral Sends Tagley Instructions

Nymore is so wide open that it is
shaped like a shallow funnel with a
wide mouth. The petition says that
the saloons are open at all hours of
the night and Sundays, with wine
rooms and gambling. The petition
ers say that their children on their
way to school see sights right in the
middle of the town which are not
good for children to see.
They would like lid on wife
beating, too, for, says the petition,
men beat their wives and are not
arrested; If they are, they turn
them loose without a trial.
To add to the towns troubles,
the village council is in a deadlock.
There is a vacancy in the board,
leaving the board two to two on the
lid question, so it can't get a major
ity to approve the appointment
of another man to break the tie.
This is the first time the attorney
general has been asked to use the
St. Cloud big stick since the St.
Cloud decision, which put the lid
up to him, except when the Law
Enforcement league of St. Paul told
him the II o'clock lid was off in
St. Paul, and the mayor of New
Ulm asked him if the big stick
hurt. In St. Paul the city officers
promised promptly to put on the
lid, and in New Ulm the mayor
said he hated to do it, but he

BELTRAMI co. DEMOCRATS
UNANIMOUS FOR JOHNSON
Delegation to State Convention Will Vote as UnitParty
Will Endeavor to Place Full Democratic Ticket in
the Field for County Offices.

We heartily endorse the able,
wise and patriotic administration
of John A. Johnson, governor of
this state, and we pledge our
selves to use all honorable means
to secure his nomination and cleo
tion third time. a.. :.
We feel that with him as our
standard bearer, the success of the
democratic state ticket, as whole,
is assured, and that his nomination
will place Minnesota in the doubtful
column of states for president.
I'VE deplore the financial condi-
ton of this county and we charge
the republican board of county COM
missioners and other county officials
entrusted with the financial manage
ment of the county with extrav-
agence, neglect of duty, and incom-
potency in bringing the county to
it's present condition of bankruptcy,
and pledge our support to nominees
for county offices whose reputation,
standing and business ability is
evidence that if elected, there will
be radical change in the manage
ment of the financial affairs of the
county,"
It was the unanimous sentiment
of the convention that the party
nominate a full set of democratic
candidates for county off ces at the
coming primaries, and that every
endeavor be used to elect the said
candidates to county Offices.
The meeting adjourned after a.
very harmonious session subject
to a call at a later date to act on
the matter of candidates for county
offices.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press of
yesterday morning contained the
following interesting article concern
ing the action of Nymore people
relative to certain immoral condi-
tons which it is claimed by the
citizens of Nymore exist in the
village which adjoins Bemid il on the
east: <At 4,
The Loyalty Band of Nymore is
having a lid fitted for the town.
Fifty-six members of the band have
sent a petition to Attorney General
r. T. Young, which recites that the
town needs lid the worst way, and
asking for the removal of O. T..
ragley, the president of the village,
on the alleged ground that he has
allowed the town to stay lidless.
The attorney general will note.
Nymore is a town of about 500
people in Beltrami county. 1t is
not far from Bemidji.
The petition was presented to the
attorney general yesterday by A.
L. Synnes and George S. Henderson,
representing the band. Gen. Young
has written Mr.. Tagley, notifying
him that the petition has been re-
ceived and that the laws must be
enforced, and calling his attention
to the law which makes it the duty
of the attorney general to proceed
for the removal from office of officers
who do not enforce the liquor laws.
IF what the petition says is true

desires every young man in the city
who is Interested in basketball to

In addition to the crack team
which represented Bemidji last
winter, there are several new players
who promise to make the team
stronger than ever.
Last year, the Big Bemidg"

record. They defeated every team

FUNKLEY, ON ROAD OVERSEERS.

wo rk to be done by the road
overseers from now on, and
they can begin the work just
where they left off. In any event,
I think tits the best business
policy for each town board to
require the road inspectors to
made, their reports and settle
their accounts up to date with
the town board.
The newly appointed road ov
erseers may use the same blank
forms as those in use by the
road inspectors, by simply
changing their title from t'Road
Inspector" to "Road Overseer. F"
If the same person is appointed
road overseer who was a road
Inspector he may continue his
work and make his reports as
overseer of roads under the law
as it was before the Road In
spector Law was passed.
Before entering upon the dis
charge of his duty the newly
appointed overseer of roads
should be notified in writing by
the town clerk of his appoint
ment.
He should, within ten days
after being notified. accept the
Office, if he intends to do so, by
fling his written acceptance
thereof with the town clerk.
Revised Laws 1905, Section
672.
We are all interested in roads
and you will be doing good work
for the cause by printing this
letter in your paper.

General Laws 1905, Chapter
70(Booth's Township Manual,
Section 1873, 10Th edition), pro-
vides as follows: eff for any
cause no highway overseer is
elected for any road district,
at such annual town meeting,
the town board at it's first ses-
sion following such town meet
ing shall appoint a highway
overseer for such district for
which no overseer was elected'
(See Revised Laws 1905, section
$40, Booths Township Manual,
section 1913, 10Th edition.
It is now the duty of the
town board in every township
having a road Inspector to ap-
point a road overseer for each
road district in the township.
This should be done at once.
Under the old law the township
was annually divided into dis
tricts by the town board. The
town board may appoint a road
overseer for each of these old
districts. These appointments
should be made at once. If a
regular meeting of a town board
is about to occur, make the ap-
pointments then, otherwise, a
special meeting of the board
should be called for the pur-
pose. It will probably be found
best, as far as possible, to ap-
point as. road oyerseers the
present road inspectors and
their assistants, providing
they have proved satisfactory.
This will make it easier for the

citation, announces that he has
appointed Walter Markham as secre-
tary and Mr.. Markham has accepted

Walter Markham is hustler and,
being very popular with Bemidji and
Beltrami county people, will very
acceptably fill the position of assist

AS Mr.. Markham has decided to
engage in the real estate business
and handle Beltrami county lands,

Bemidji Pioneer:-
For the benefit of yonr
readers I will ask you to kindly
publish the following:
The Supreme Court of the
State of Minnesota in the case
of Anton J. Helm againt E. M.
Patterson has just decided that
Chapter 458, General Laws 1907
is unconstitutional. The decision
of the District Court of ST..
Louis County is thus affirmed,
and the old law providing for
road overseers is again the law
of the State. This law is found
in Revised Laws 1905, sections
1924 to 1928 inclusive, being
sections 1872 and 1853 to AS
inclusive of Booths Township
Manual, 10Th edition.
The law declared uncon-
stitutional is known as the law
abolishing road overseers and
providing for the appointment
of road inspectors in their
place. The meaning of this
decision is that town road in
spectors and their assistants
are no longer legally qualified
to act as such. The law pro-
viding for road inspectors is
wiped out, and the road in
spectors and their assistants go
out with it. This makes a
vacancy in the Office of road
overseerzin every road district,
in every township which has
heretofore had a road inspector.

They won one game and lost one
game to the strong U. of N. D.
team and their playing was excep-
tionally good throughout the entire
season. 49,.
1t is the intention of Manager
Heffron to arrange schedule which
will include games every week. =
The boys will probably elect a
captain at their next meeting and
there is a sentiment among the
friends of the local team that Joe
Markham should lead the boys
this season. Joe is a splendid player
and a good general and would un-
doubtedly make a good captain.

Yesterday afternoon Dan Bales,
formerly night baggageman at the
Great Northern depot, was arrested
upon complaint of Special Agent
Britt. He was arraigned in num-
cipal court this morning and found
guilty of stealing a leather suit case.
Judge Bailey fined him $40 or 80
days in Jail. In default of payment
of the fine he was committed to the
county Jail.
