may never fully recover, and which
made it impossible for him to live on
the homestead. First he was kept
at the home of a neighbor until he
could be moved to town where he
could be furnished with the medical
aid and attention that he needed.
In December, 1907, he submitted
his final Communication proof for the
land, which has now been rejected
by the secretary of the interior on
the ground that he has not lived on
the land since August 1907, when
he was stricken with disability pre-
venting him from living , on the
homestead.
It is much to be regretted that
there is not some way for Mr..
Johnson to get title to his land since
he has endured the hardships Incl

proving the land and living on it
continuously for nearly two years.

WALTER MARKHAM SELLS
ORE LANDS; GOOD PRICE
Disp0ses of Some Six Hundred Acres,
Near Laporte, to Chicago
Iron Firm.

That the lands south of Bemidji,
in northern Hubbard county, and
more especially in the vicinity of
Laporte, are being classed by the
various iron ore companies as being
valuable for ore.mining possibilities
is being demonstrated by everyday
offers which are made. to the owners
Of the lands, wherein tempting prices
are rendered for desirable properties,
fulfilling the predictions made some
months ago that the western arm
of the Messa5a iron range really
reached as far as northern Hubbard
county.
Among those who own lands near
Laporte which are within the zone
considered valuable for ore explora-
tions is Walter Markham of this
city. Mr.. Markham owned some
1900 acres in the Laporte district,
and yesterday he disposed of some
600 acres.
Mr.. Markham will not tell the
price he received for the lands
which he sold, but it is understood
that the figures were those which he
had been asker to name, and are
generous.
The purchaser of the land was M.
Dreyfus, as agent for the Ohio Iron
& Metal company of Chicago.

According to recent ruling of
the secretary of the interior, Peter
Johnson, a Battle River homesteader,

circumstances for which he cannot

In July, 1905, Peter Johnson, who
was then a strong, healthy and
sturdy man, both physically and
mentally, made his homestead entry
for one of the best quarter sections
Of agricultural land in the fertile
Battle River country. He was a
poor man, but with his two strong

at Kelliher, Escaped while Enroute
to County Jail.

Irvine Young, charged with forg-
ing several checks on the logging
firm of Ross & Ross, jumped from

them, securing $3.50 on one and 1913
on the other. He was given hear
ing yesterday at Kelliher, before
Justice Magill, and was held to the
grand jury at the next term of
the district court for Beltrami
county. At Young's hearing, all
but 81 of the 1888 which he
secured was recovered.
Shortly after leaving Turtle River,
while enroute to Bemidji this morn n
ing, the prisoner expressed desire
to go to the toilet section, which was
at the opposite end of the car. Mr..
Magill allowed him to do so and
Young ran to the door and jumped
off the train, Mr.. Magill being
forced to ride to this city before. he
could get off the train and commune
cate with the officers at Turtle
River.
A telephone message from Turtle
River this afternoon disclosed the
facts that Young had walked back
to the village after leaving the train
and had gone into Larkin & Dale's
saloon. He stated that he was
going to Bemidji and left, walking
down the railroad track in the d.
rection of this city; and there is
no further clue to his whereabouts,
at 3 p. m.

sofa Fields.

Bemidji is rapidly developing into
a wholesale center, and the import
ance of this place as a general dis.
tribution point for the great terri
tory of northern Minnesota, which is
just developing into very thriving
community, is being recognized by
representatives of all lines of bust
ness.
This fact has been demonstrated
in a very forcible manner by the
recent acquisition of big wholesale
grocery concern with a paid-up
capital of $4,000 (The Northern
Grocery Co.., which company has
erected one of the most commodious
and slightly wholesale buildings in
northern Minnesota.
Samuel Patterson and JohnPepper,
substantial capitalists of Duluth,
after thoroughly investigating the
field, decided to locate a wholesale
liquor house in Bemidji, and they
were in the city yesterday and
today making the final arrange
ments for such an enterprise.
Messrs. Patterson and Pepper
have leased the Major building,
on Minnesota avenue, for a period
of three years. They will at once
put in the building a $4,000 stock
of all kinds of liquors of the choic-
est barrel and bottled stock. The
new firm will be ready for business
on February /.
Messrs. Patterson and Pepper will
move to this city with their families,
and will make Bemidii their home;
and they will be welcomed as boost
ers" of the thirty-third degree, in
helping Bemidji as the metropolis of
north-central Minnesota.
The new concern will employ
several men in their wholesale house
in this city in addition to travelling
representatives who will make the
territory as far west as Crookston,
east to Duluth, south as far as
Brainerd and Sank Center and north
to the international boundary. This
new wholesale liquor company will
be backed by unlimited capital and
the success of the enterprise is
assured from the start, as Messrs.
Patterson and Pepper are men OF
large experience in the liquor bust
ness.

Mike Kiederofsky, Charged with Steal
ing Grain, Had Avoided Arrest
for Some Time.
HAS RECORD OF MlsDEMEANORs
THROUGH NORTHERN MINNESOTA
Was Taken to Crookston this After.
noon in Custody Of Sheriff
Orrin Daniels.

Mike Kiederofsky, whom the off,
Gals of Polk county have tried to
locate and for whom they have
searched all over the state, was
arrested by the Bemidji police in
this city yesterday and placed in Jail
here, awaiting the orders of the
sheriff of Polk county.
Kiederofsky has had bad record
in northern Minnesota, but the
crime he is wanted for at Crookston
is the theft of some $50 bushels of
wheat and 100 bushels of oats from
the granary on the farm of Charles
Ross, farmer who lives in Fanny
township, near Crookston.
Kiederofsky worked on the Ross
farm all last summer but blew"
his money in the sporting houses in
Creokston as fast as he could draw
it.
Early in the fall MI. Ross noticed
wheat disappearing from his granary,
which is located about half
mile from the home place. He kept
watch for a return of the thief, but
was never able to find him.
Finally Ross went to Crookston
and notified Chief Eek, who dis
covered that Kiederofsky, late in
December, had hired team from
Laliberti's livery barn for drive in
the country. The same day he re-
turned and next day sold a load
of wheat to the Crookston Milling
Co.
Kiederofsky disappeared from
Crookston, and despite the efforts
to locate him he eluded the officers
until he was caught in Bemidji yes
terday.
The same man will have to answer
to other charges also. In one bank
he secured about $50 by giving a
mortgage on a bunch of cattle that
he did not, and never had owned.
At another bank he secured $50 on
farm mortgage the amount asked
being so small that the bank officials
did not look into the ownership of
the land.
Orrin Daniels, sheriff of Polk
county, arrived in the city this noon
from Crookston and took Kieder-
ofsky to Crookston this afternoon.

THORPE and CARPENTER
Will SKATE SOME RACES
Carpenter Is Willing, but Awaits Backing
from His Friends in Crookston
Before Closing.

The Crookston Daily Journal of
Wednesday contained the following
relative to Thorpe's expressed desire
to skate a series of races against
Harry Carpenter, the Crookston
skater: ~
Relative to the article above
from Bemidji. Harry Carpenter
called at the Journal office this
afternoon and stated that he was
anxious to meet Thorpe and with
Messrs. Hitchcock and Rapin of
this city had been trying to get a
race arranged since early winter,
and that a year ago he was also
after him but failed to get any salts
faction. He will race Thorpe at
any time, but does refuse to race
on the 81 by IS feet rink at Bemidj il.
At the larger Kinks at Grafton,
Grand Forks or Crookston will
skate him at any time. AS Thorpe
is doing the challenging, Carpenter
should designate the rink, but is
willing to skate wherever the best
inducements can be secured.
Il does not look as though Thorpe
wanted to race or he would have
answered one of the numerous
challenges received from Carpenter
personality"
In reply to the above, Mr.. Thorpe
states emphatically that the only
letter he ever received from Car
penter was when he (Thorpe) was
sick in the hospital, a year ago;
that he tried to arrange races with
Carpenter this year, but that the
latter stated he was going to Min
neapolis, but instead went to Little
Falls. -- --.. --. $50. -. |
I am axious to try conclusions
with Carpenter, and will agree to
any fair conditions; but I do not
want him to think, for a moment,
that I am trying to avoid him. That
is just what I want-a series of
races, any distance, with all fairness
to he and I, and I am certain that I
will give a good account of myself"
AS the matter stands, now, Car
penter is awaiting to arrange for
accepting the challenge to skate
Thorpe for 800 a side, a series of
three races, one at Crookston, one
at Bemidji, and if a third is neces-
sary to decide the series, the final
race to be skated on a neutral rink.
A. C. Rutledge received letter
this morning from Carpenter, in
which the Crookston skater says that
he is anxious to skate Thorpe, but
that he will not bind himself to a
side bet of any kind; that will
have to be cared for by the boys
about town" at Crookston, as he
(Carpenter) does not back himself.
However, he is confident that C. A..
Hitchcock and others will furnish the
side bet. All he wants is square
treatment and fair division of the
gate receipts.
Carpenter leaves the final arrange
ments, as to the side bet, etc., until
the return to Crookston of MI.
Hitchcock, next Sunday.
In the meantime, Thorpe is train
ing diligently, on the local rink, and
getting into good condition.
