ALLEGED HORSE THIEF is
TAKEN BY SHERIFF HAVEN
George Washington Martini Accused of Having Stolen
Horse and Buggy Near Osaks, in 1904, Was
Located and Arrested Saturday.

ago, and stated that it was his
belief that Martin was either in
Bemidji or would be likely to be
here in the near future, and that if
the local sheriff found Martin to at
once take him into custody and wire
to Alexandria, as Martin had been
wanted" since 1904, on the charge
of horse-stealing.
Mr.. Hazen has kept a lookout
for Martin, and Saturday he met a
man in Chris Olson's saloon whom
he thought might be Martin, although
the features were altered consider
ably from the time the photo was
taken that accompanied the des-
cription sent here of Martin. The
sheriff took Martin into custody, and
the latter strenuously denied that
he was the man wanted; that his
name was not George Washington"
Martin, and that was simply nick
name" by which he was known;
denied ever having been in Douglass
county, and had never stolen horse
or worked for one William V. Stone.
The sheriff of Douglass county
was wired of Martins arrest, and
Sheriff Lundgrin arrived in Bemid il
Saturday evening for. the purpose
OF looking over the prisoner and
ascertaing if he was the man for
whom diligent search had been in
progress since 1904.
Sheriff Lundgrin visited Martin at
the county Jail, and after accosting
him as George Washington Martin,
got the prisoner to admit that he was

the man who had worked for Mr.
Stone, near Osakis, in Douglass
county; that he went away with a
horse belonging to Mr.. Stone; but
he steadfastly asserts that the horse
was back at Stones place after he
had the use of the animal, and that
he will prove that fact.
Martin was allowed to remain in
the local county jail until this
morning, when Sheriff Lundgren
took him away to Alexandria, where
further developments in the case
will be looked after.
If the man arrested here is the
George Washington Martin who
is wanted on the charge of horse
stealing (and there is little doubt
that he isl, he has quite an interest
ing career and his goings and
comings have caused Sheriff Lind
gren a lot of trouble and some little
worry.
Martin was working for William
V. Stone, near Osakis, in 1904, and
on August 18th of that year, he took
a horse and buggy belonging to Mr..
Stone and drove off with the rig;
and neither the rig or Martin have
been seen since, until Martins
arrest in this city Saturday-the
horse and buggy were never
recovered.
This was the last heard of Martin
until Sheriff Lundgren ascertained
that the man had enlisted in the u.
S. army, at Duluth, on May 5, 1905,
and that he subsequently served as
cook with Company K, Ninth
Infantry, in the Philippines, for
two years, returning to the United
States, and being discharged at Fl.
Reno, Oklahoma, June %, 1907.
Sheriff Lundgrin finally ascer-
tanned that man named George
Washington Martin had a claim
against the war department, and
that he gave his last postoAice
address as being Bemidji; and word
was sent here, with copy of an old
photograph of Martin, taken five
years ago with the result that Sheriff
Hazen effected his arrest and
turned him over to the Douglass
county authorities, doing a very
creditable piece of work in appre-
hending the much-wanted man.
Sheriff Lundgrin, who has been
so persistently after Martin, has been
sheriff of Douglass county for the
past ten years, and prior to that
time was jailer and deputy sheriff at
Alexandria. He is considered one
of the best officials in the state, and
is secretary of the Minnesota State
Sheriff's association, which organi-
cation, by the way, holds its annual
meeting at Litchfeld in July.

To say that he captured his
hearers, says one who heard the
lecture, is putting it mild. He
simply captured them at the start
and held them all the way through.
His earnestness and his forceful way
of putting his eloquent thoughts, no
less than his genius in splicing his
discourse with entertaining anec-
dotes and illustrations, each one
driving home some great truth,
rendered the lecture one of the
most enjoyable intellectual feasts."

In fercely-contested game
which nearly gave local fans
heart failure, yesterday afternoon,
the Deer River baseball team de.
feated Bemidji, in an eleven.innine
struggle, by a score of 3 to 2. The
game went to extra frames" afte,
the ninth inning, and was finally
won by the visitors through an
error by a Bemidji player.
The game was largely pitchers
battle between -Baumgardner, Be.
midjIs steady twirler, and Cadrou,
the hero of several shut.out games
with Fosston this season, who was
on the mound" for Deer River
and as far as straight pitching had
effect on the score, the local slab
artist held his own with the phe.
nominal Indian, at all stages of the
game.
Cadrou really pitched wonderful
ball. During the eleven innings, he
struck out eighteen men, and did not
allow a hit of any kind, until the
tenth inning, when Bush got a clean
two-bagger, the only bingle made by
the locals. He gave a base on balls
to Mitchell and hit Baumgardner a
resounding whack on the pitching
arm; these were his only "wabbles. "
Baumgardner was touched up fol
seven hits, but he kept them well
scattered, no two coming in any one
inning. He. famed" nine and
gave base on balls. Wher
hits meant runs, Fred frightened ur
and was hitless.
Both pitchers deserved a shut. out
and with errorless ball the teams
would probably have been playing
yet.
Herriod caught a fine game fol
Cardrou and threw like a rocket to
the bases. giving his "hurler" fine
support.
Eckel caught good game, but
was lamentably weak throwing tc
bases. AS result the visiting
players stole bases with considerable
regularity.
No score was made on either side
until the eighth inning. the players
on both sides going out pretty much
one-two-three.
In the eight inning both teams
scored two runs each, none of which
were earned.

man up, reached first base, through

JOURNALISM IN MINNESOTA.
Rhetoric is The Only Requirement FOL
Entering the Course.

Prof. Thomas, head of the Rhetoric
department, confirmed yesterday the
report that course in journalism would
be started by him next semester. The
requirements will be two years work
in rhetoric, but it will be an independ-
ent course. Prof. Thomas will aim to
make it very practical. In order to get
actual newspaper experience before TAX
ing up similar course at Michigan, he
went to Chicago and spent two weeks
icle and the Record Herald. The city
editor of the Tribune showed him news
paper making from beginning to end.
Professor Thomas hopes to let the stu
dent in his course see the work in some
thing of the same way. The embryo
journalist will be put i'll charge of a
reporter on the Journal, for instance,
and will see the getting of news, the
writing it up, and the copy reading. Be-
sides this, the leading papers of the big
cities of the country will be studied, so
the student may learn the best methods
of writing newspaper story. Prof.
Thomas does not hope to establish here
distinct School of Journalism. A
trained newspaper man, willing to de-
vote his whole time to the work, would
have to be secured for the head of such
establishments University Daily.

mail. After a consultation with Judge
J. D. Lawson of the law faculty, it was
found that the boy had sent post
card with an Objectionable picture on it
through the mail to boy friend, and
that it was altogether thoughtless. At
ter giving him good lecture the post
office inspector dismissed the charge, and
left.
The day after that young man re-
ceived his degree, he came to me and
thanked me for keeping him out of
prison, and swore that if he lived to be
as old as Methusela, he never would
send post-c through the mails
again, not even the kind made by the
government" said Prof. Lipscomb re-
Gently.
Some of the students get into trouble
through contracting debts with the mer-
chants in Columbia, and sometimes the
trouble is not altogether on the side of
the students. One boy, whose mother
was widow. who was saving every cent
she could get to keep her son in school,
had habit of contracting debts beyond
his allowance. Finally the owner of
livery stable brought suit against him
to pay a debt. Prof. Lipscomb investi-
gated. and found that the livery stable
had been notified by the boys mother to
permit him to have no rigs unless he
paid cash for them. Prof. Lipscomb
showed the liveryman the crime was
more on his side than the boys. and at
the same time lectured the boy on his
habits. The boy reformed, and never
contracted another debt while here He
is now married and practicing law.
He Believes in Fraternities.
When citizen of Columbia has COM

the names of the students implicated.
and exactly what damage he has sui
fered, before the University will take
any action.
However students are not encour-
aged to infringe on city ordinances. and
when they are arrested for posting bills
on the sidewalks or similar crimes. they
have to pay their fines as any one
else" said Prof. Lipscomb. Il believe
there is less friction between students
and townspeople here than at any other
university
Prof. Lipscomb in speaking of the fra
ternity problem at the university said:
Il believe when university has as
many students as Missouri. the more

The ma jority of the fraternities at the
University are doing great work to-
ward the disciplining of the student
body. Their rivalries for leadership in
scholarship and athletics can not be but
for good. When university has grown
to the size of Missouri with 5000 stu
dents it is impossible for one student to
know every one else, and there is moth
ing more lonely than freshman when
he has first arrived. The fraternity or
