produced a result like unto a bomb
in the camp of Opsahl, Allen and
cohorts.
Since the article was published
employees of the Opsahlized Sentinel
have been running hither and thither,
asking people to pay no attention to
the article-that it was a lie on the
part of the Pioneer, printed at the
last moment for the express purpose
of injuring the exponent of clean
politics." Opsahl.
The Pioneer simply reproduced
the article from the Journal, which
quotes the laws of the state-in fact,
the constitution, which cannot be
exchanged except by two-thirds
ma ority vote for the legislature.
Despite the ranting talk of OPP
sahPs supporters and the wailing
and crashing of teeth on the part of
old Allen" the fact remains that
the nomination and reelection of
Opsahl as representative to the leg
islature from the Sixty-frst district
would raise serious question a
to his eligibility, and it is altogether
likely that the residents of this leg
islative district will not vote for
Opsahl and take the chance of hav-
ing no representative in the legisla-
ture. There are many matters OF
import to the residents of the Sixty
first district that need to be pushed
with vigor and our interests watched,
and the electing of a doubtful rep.

was made at the Agency, when the
party was given an opportunity to
look over the Agency buildings and
visit many beautiful spots at the
Agency which have historical
prominence. n
The boat returned to Redby at
about $50 and, after all had par
taken of another hearty meal, at Pat
Cassin's, the train returned to
Bemidji, arriving here about 9
O'Clock. -.
One of the features of the excur-
sion was the presence of many of the
candidates for nomination at the
primaries and they all made very
good use of their time. Among
them were John Wilmann, county
auditor; F. J. Dunwoody, candidate
for probate judge; J. N. Bailey, for
county treasurer and J. P. Riddell,
for register of deeds.
It was noticeable that a cloud
of smoke overhung the lake and
excluded the view of the other shore.
which made it impossible to see any
distance on the water. It is believed
that forest fires are raging at differ
ent points about the lake, although
so far reports have been received of
but one fire and that near Island
Lake.

these cases were continued from last

them will be disposed of in very

Two of the cases which are on
the docket and which are occasion

against F. A. Mayo of this city,
which are known as the "Akerberg

watched with considerable interest
Another important case is that Of
