BEMIDJI ROD AND GUN
CLUB HAS A fine TRAP
Club Held Interesting Shoot Last
Sunday and Will Hold Another
Sunday Forenoon.

The members of the Bemidji Rod
Sc Gun Club are beginning to take
a very active interest in shooting;
and since the arrival of their new
trap many of the bows have been
bringing out their guns, Frightening
them up and getting ready for the
fray"
The new trap is a Lagatt trap,
which throws birds" from five un-
known angles. The trap is said to
be one of the best on the market and
when used, last Sunday, on the
occasion of the first shoot, did very
satisfactory work.
Several members of the club
held a shoot last Sunday forenoon
on the new grounds on the north.
east shore of Lake Irving, south OF
the NJ, r. L. & M. railroad tracks.
These grounds are ideal for the
use of trap shooting. There is a long
range with a background of lake
and sky, giving an exceptionally
fine light to shoot against. For the
first shoot, last Sunday, the work
was considered to be fairly good.
S. Harry Stair of Crookston, the
expert trap shooter for the Peters
Cartridge company, was present al
the traps with his trusty gun anc
did some very clever shooting.
1t is the intention of the Bemidj
Rod & Gun club to hold a gun club
tournament at the time of the county
fair, which will be held Wednesday
Thursday and Friday, September Is
10 and II.
P. J. Russell is president of the
club and V. L. Ellis is secretary
and these officials announce tina
another shoot will be held Sunda,
forenoon, beginning at 9 o'clock.

Deputy Public Examiner M. S.
Kain was sworn on behalf of the
state and stated that his residence
was St. Paul; that he had been an
assistant public examiner 81 n c e
January 1, 1907. Mr.. Kahn futher
stated that the nature of his work was
to examine official records of count y
offices, and that he had examined
the Beltrami county offices for the
years 1908 and 1909; that prior to
his appointment as assistant public
examiner he was auditor of Ramsey
county for six and half years.
In his examination, Mr.. Kahn
stated that he had examined the
commissioners proceedings regard
ing the establishment of county
roads for the years 1908 and 1909 as
the road record and found that no
records had been made of establish
ed roads for these two years.
An attempt on the part of the
state to offer commissioners pro-
ceedings &C" and ID" of Beltrami
county was objected to by Mr.. Nc
Donald, he stating that he had no
objection to records as far as they
pertained to the established county
roads.
This objection was sustained.
Mr.. Smith then offered the original
orders for the following roads:
The road known as the Benville
county road, established July II,
1907; the road in township 1920
running south to section 20, town
ship 1880, established June II,
1907; also the roads established
June 8, 1907 and May rs, 1908.
Mr.. Kane stated that he found no
records of these roads, even though
there were suitable books in the
office for these records.
On cross-examination, Mr.. Nc
Donald cited sections of the statue
and stated that he knew no law
requiring this work to be done by
the county auditor.
M. D. Stoner, who was county
surveyor and superintendent of
highways during the year of 1907
and until August, 1908, stated that
he had examined the road record
and the final papers and that he
found that there had been no record

body was removed from the lax
and word sent to Coroner Ibertson
of this city, who left to investigate
the cause of death.
Funk has lived on Mud lake for
several years past, and is well
known to people living in this city,
as we'll as his neighbors. He was
married about a year ago, and his
wife gave birth to a child this
morning.
The funeral will be held at the
Catholic church in this city tomorrow
morning.
The deceased was a man who
was we'll liked and who made friends
wherever he went; and his tragic

HuIse Gets ID Months.

O'Neill Frontier: Mrs. Ellen Kane,
who was shot five weeks ago while
sitting in her home near Emmet. was
in town Monday, coming down from,
Emmett through the binding snow
storm to attend to some business mat
ters here. Mrs. Kane has apparently
fully recovered from the severe wound
inflicted by the intended assassin and
shows remarkable grit and hardihood
after undergoing such an experience.
She is again at her home near Emmett
residing alone and seems to entertain
no fears that the attempt on her life
will be repeated.
Speaking of the shooting, Mrs. Kane
says while everyone with whom she
talks regards it as about the most
cowardly act they ever heard of, yer
she says she never knew of a case
where there was so little effort to-
bring the perpetrator of the deed to-.
justice as in her case, and thinks the
county attorney is decidedly slow if
not altogether derelict in his duties.
She says it is no secret who did the
shooting and that it was done for "a
lousy little bit of money"
