Killed BY A Rancher

Wednesday evening Ed McKincie, a
prospector, aged about Al years, was
shot and killed bv G. F. Hanson, u
rancher living at Willow creek, about
60 miles north of Winnemucca.
1t is rumored that some time ago the
two men had some trouble over q min
ing claim, which is the probable cause
for the shooting.
Wednesday evening, as McKincie was
driving in the vicinity of the Hanson
ranch with q man named Jones, when
Within a few hundred yards of the
house, handed the latter the lines and
placed his rifle in readiness for immedi-
ate action. Driving some 200 or 300
feet by the house, he told Jones to stop
and he would go back and get that.
AS McKincie approached the house
Hanson's mother, who was in the yard
ordered him away, when he took shot
at her but missed her. John Hanson,
one of her sons, then came to the door
and ordered the intruder away, and he
took q shot at him, missing again. G.
f. Hanson then came to the door, rifle
in hand, and a duel began. Both men
emptied their rifles at each other, when
McKincie stopped to reload, but Hanson
secured another rifle and resumed
shooting, this time killing his man. 1t
is said that an examination of the dead
mans body revealed the fact that he
was literally filled with lead.
There were two families residing in
the Hanson house, three women and
fusillade of bullets the women and
children were huddled terror stricken
in back bedroom. The assassins bull
lets were directed toward the house and
two of Mr.. Hanson's children were
wounded, the bullets passing through
three walls to reach their mark. Both
children were shot in the side, one re-
ceiving only flesh wound, while tho
other received more dangerous one,
the bullet penetrating the child's body
and lodging in his back.
After the shooting Dr. E. j. Hyatt,
superintendent of the Nfanitou Mining
company's mines in the vicinity, came
and dressed the wounds of the children
and Thursday they were brought in
and placed in the Pinson sanitarium.
Today they are resting easily, with
every prospect of speedy recovery.

in and virtually surrendered to the
sheriff, but was not arrested He is

ASKS RECOGNITION AS
SULTAN OF MOROCCO
MuIai Hatid Agrees to Execute
Existing Treaties.

Paris, Sept. 15.-The Franco-Span-
ish note on the subject of the recogni-
tion of Mulai Hafid as sultan of Mo-
rocco was transmitted to the powers
signatory to the Algeciras convention.
Mulai Hafd's letter to the diplo-
matte corps has reached Paris. He
announces his proclamation as sultan,
which, he says, "obliges him to exc
cute the engagements of the Algeciras
act" Hafid points out, however, that
these obligations cannot be executed
until his agents can participate. in the
deliberations Of the diplomatic corps
at Tangier and he asks the members
of the diplomatic corps to advise their
respective governments in order that
the powers can recognize him as sui
tan.
Mulai Hafd agrees to recognize
the treaties concluded by his prede-
cessors, notably that of the Algeciras
act, which he considers the basis of
the prosperity and progress Of the en-
pire from both the political and the
economic standpoints, since it guaran-
tees independence for the country and
provides useful reforms"

SITUATION MORE HOPEFUL
Forest Fires Cease to Be Menace in
Northern Minnesota.


Duluth, Sept. 15.-Clouds and an alb
sence of wind gave the Mesaga range
a day of quiet and the forest fires
ceased to be a menace in every To-
cality. No rain has fallen and the
situation will be serious until mois-
ture puts an end to the smouldering
fires and makes the forests of North
ern Minnesota less like finder.
Grand Marais, on the north shore of
Lake Superior, is considered safe from
further invasion by the flames, owing
to the back-fires around the little town.
The woods for nearly 100 miles
along the north shore are ablaze and
millions of feet of standing timber are
still in danger.
Under orders from General G. G.
Andrews, state fire warden, Chief
John T. Black of the local fire depart
ment sent forty men to the scene of
the worst forest fire about Grand
er America.
These men were hired for the pur-
pose of fighting the fire and were
placed under the direction of Captain
Wilson of the local fire department.
They will remain in the fire region
fighting back the flames and protect
ing as much valuable timber lands as
possible.
At Grand Rapids and Cohasset,
which were the center of the fire &C.
tivity on the Mesaba range Saturday,
no more fires are reported.
The United States weather bureau
reports from Washington promise rain
for the Northern and Central portion
of the United States before the close
of the present week. This brings a
ray of hope to the inhabitants Of the
North country, who have been fight
ing the terrible fire demon so con-
tinuously for the past two weeks.

PRECAUTIONS TAKEN TO
PREVENT CONFEDERATION
City Council Authorizes Mayor Pogue
to Engage Two Fire Wardens
" to Serve Nights.

In order to guard against a posi-
bic conhagation in Bemidji, the city
council last evening, at the request
of Mayor Pogue, the latter was
instructed to engage the service of
two men for the purpose of acting as
fire wardens at ght about the city
during the continuance of the
extremely dry spell which is affect
ing everything in and about Bemidji,
as we'll as other parts of the state.
One of the new fire wardens will
be mounted, and will patrol the city
limits from the center of the business
district to the Bemidji Lumber
company's sawmill, on the southeast
shore Of Lake Bemidji; while the
other fire warden will be on duty in
the north end of the city, and will
perform his duties on foot
The members of the police force
have been given special instructions
to act with the wardens and be
especially diligent in watching for
fires, approaching the city from
outside, or having origin within the
city limits.
The council rejected the appli-
cation of John Spillet for license
to sell intoxicating liquors, Mayor
Pogue stating that he would refuse
to sign the license, if it was granted
so long as Frank Rogers occupied
the building where the applicant
desired to sell liquors.
The plat of Henderson's second
addition to the city of Bemidji was
approved.
The liquor license application of
Frank Gagnaon, with a bond with
J. J. Doran and Martin Flint as
sureties, was approved.
A batch of bills were allowed, and
a bill of Beltrami county, for board
of city prisoners, was referred to the
city attorney.
