ACCUSED OF COMPLETELY
IN BLOWING NEVING DAM
Five Men Brought to Bag|ey, Last
Night, in Custody of Sheriff
dis H0Iste.

Bagley, March 30.-(Special to
Pioneer. Sheriff Hoist came to
Bagley this morning with five
parties in charge, who are supposed
to be connected with the blowing of
the Neving dam last Thursday night.
The dynamite used was traced from
Bagley to Neving postohice and all
parties who were in any way con-
nected with the explosive from the
time it got to Neving last Tuesday
until it disappeared are in charge of
the sheriff.
Rumor has it that one of the
parties has given enough information
to the county attorney to warrant
the holding. of at least two, if not
three, until the. grand jury meets.
All the logs belonging to the S. P. K.
Lumber, Cedar & Tie company are
reported safe, but at last accounts
considerable anxiety was felt for the
state bridge, which it is feared will
60 out unless the weather remains
favorable for the next ten days.
The dam has been plugged, but
the volume of water that went out
the first day raised the river to
within one foot of the state bridge,
and it is feared that when the ice
goes out, the bridge will go with it.
Two other bridges on the river will
be washed out should we have con-
tinued warm weather.

The following taken from the
Fargo Forum will be of interest to
the theatre-goers of this city:
Those who attended the vaude-
vile theatre this week may not have
known it, but they witnessed a
relic of the twelfth century drama
in the exhibition of the Lenoir mar
ionettes. The use of dummies to
present scenes from the stage dates
back to about 1850, when the idea
first originated in the mind of
some Italian, whose name unluckily
has not been handed down.
when several years ago, an
English society resurrected one of
the old English morality plays and
presented it under the name of
Everyman, students of the drama
were much interested in the expert
ment, seemingly unmindful of the
fact that in Italy to the present
day is phase of dra ma that had
its beginning $50 years before some
forgotten monk wrote the quaint,
old Everyman.
In Little italy, in New York,
the heart of the slums, there flour
ish today two theatres devoted to
the exploits of these marionettes,
and through these has America
come to know something of the
theatrical customs across the water.
It was in 1886 that George LIE.
noir first conceived the idea OF
showing Americans the drama Of
another age. His first efforts were
somewhat more crude than was the
miniature stage, Lilliputian acts, and
actors presented here last night
Now he sets the little stage, peoples
it with actors, actresses, has lively
piano player, and an appreciative
audience" in the boxes. The marion.
etts are manipulated by strings and
wires, but there is nothing for the
audience to see except the remark
able life-action of the dummies
whose burlesque are real vaudeville
seemed to touch responsive strain
in the laugh department Of the good
sized house which greeted the per

large tract of coded Red Lake land
which was withdrawn two years ago
pending investigation, with view
to the establishment of drainage
works thereon. The investigation
was made and it was found that
reclamation by drainage would cost
more than 100000, which con-
gress was not disposed to provide at
this time, even though the ap-
preparation is made reimbursable
from the sale of reclaimed land.
There has been a demand from
that section for the reopening of
this land, some of which can be
cultivated without drainage, and the
bill was introduced in response to
that demand.
It provides for payment in &C.
cordance with the terms Of the Red
Lake treaty, with the addition of 3
cents an acre, to cover the cost of
the drainage survey.
Mr.. Stevenson has introduced a
bill to legalize naturalization proof
IN certain cases. Under former de-
cisions of the department of Justice
his proof could be submitted in any
county in a judicial district. Under
later rulings,'' however, applicants
for naturalization papers we're re-
quired to submit their proofs in the
county in which court was held.
Many aliens in Minnesota have
procured naturalization papers under
the first ruling which are now de-
clared to be invalid, and the bill is
intended to give such persons rights
of citizens without further proceed
ings in court"

head of the company, predicts that
the company will be mustered in

Considerable satisfaction is ex-
pressed among the local soldiers"
over the fact that the number that
will be mustered in here are four
more than were mustered in for the
new company at Duluth, which
numbered forty-eight men.
AS there are many experienced
military men in the company, it is
predicted that the Bemidji organiza-
