HARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY.
Representative From otero Pays His
Respects To The TroubIe Breed
ers Of Many and Varied
Aliases.

La Junta. Colo.,-Representat w
H. McCaskill of Otero county came
out in a signed letter defending his
position on the work he did in the
legislature. Some time ago at the
meeting of the Democratic central
committee, ]. H. Crowley, the sena-
tor from this district, was praised
while not a word OF praise was said
regarding McCaskill. and indirectly
they consured all those who worked
against the Patterson wing Of the
party.
Mr.. McCaslill calls A. B. Wallace,
chairman of the Otero county Demo-
cratic central committee. and E. W.
Mcdaniel. county Judge of otero
county, elected last fall on the Dem
ocratic ticket. Socialists both, and
he speaks of T. NJ. Patterson OF Den
YER as the trouble breeder. ex-demo-
crat, ex-populist, ex-socialist. ex-repuD
Ncan, and at present an lshmaeiite'
and saws that he resorted to "mis-
representation and downright lying
in his newspapers. McCaskill also
saws that he voted for the interests
of the people of otero county ana
voted right on every bill before the
house and he mentions a number oil
bills for which he voted. and num-
ber which he voted to kill
He says Wallace went to Denver
and in the presence of his wife ana
others urged him to vote for the Car!
Wardlaw bill, local option amendmen
hut he did not do SO. He said he
had a suite Of rooms at the Adams
hotel and his wife was with him
during the entire session. He SAID
he had no time to bum. that he
spent $1,000 more than his salary
amounted to AID that he has a clean
record.
The above is fair sample OF what
the two wings of the democracy can
do for each other, and the people OF
the state are wondering If Governor
Shafroth is really so foolhardy as TO
give them another chance at each
other in legislative halls assembled
The scrap will be worth seeing II
Is true, but will it be worth the Sioo'-

Recent treasury reports indicate
that the turning point In the fnancia
situation has been reached and that
from now on the business OF the coun
try will steadily improve. This grau-
fying indication has been obsfructed
and delayed almost beyond the bound
of patience and with depressing
and somewhat discouraging effect
but there Is no doubling the upward
tendency now. Throughout many
years the treasury reports have peeh
an unfailing barometer and the grow
ing receipts show conclusiveiy that
the Improvement is becoming tang

crease in receipts of about S9,ooo'-

Captain Otto, Out West.

The Chinook Washington Oh.
server says of the recent visit oil
Captain A. E. Otto to Chinook, and
his renewing his acquaintance with
old comrades and friends at that
place:
Adam E. Otto, six years ago a
sergeant at Fort Columbia, arrived
here on a trip to see the boys who
served with him Monday. Most OF
the civilians of Chinook remember
Otto as the big baseball player who
hit the ball so hard that it looked
like fly speck going through the
air and far beyond all the felders.
He was a terror at the bat.
After leaving the service he went
to Bemidji, MIMI, where he is now
assistant postmaster in a town of
10000 inhabitants. He is married
and doing we'll in social and business
life. The people at Chinook and
the boys at the hill gave Mr.. Otto a
royal welcome back. He came out
to see the A. Y. P. E. and could not
resist the temptation to run down
here and visit old friends"

ADJOURNED TERM COURT
WAS BEGUN YESTERDAY
Case of the NortIand Produce Company
VS.. A. D. Stephens Was The First
Action Called.

An adjourned term of the district
court for Beltrami county, to hear
cases for trial without jury was
convened yesterday in the city, with
Judge c. w. Stanton presiding.
The first case taken up was that
of the Northland Produce company
VS.. A. D. Stephens, trustee, the plain
tiff being represented by Attorney
Harris of Duluth and the defendant
by Attorney O'Brien of ,Crookston.
From the evidence it appears
that the Northland Produce com

in 1907, deposited the title to the
company's property in this city with
A. D. Stephens, who was then
cashier of the Merchants National

CASS LAKE PHYSICIAN is
CHARGED WITH NEGLECT
St. Cloud Physicians Assert Nicholas Neutzlaq Bed to
Death, Through Neglect-Dr Christensen Says
He Did All Possible for Injured Man.

The St. Cloud Journal Press
makes some very grave charges
against Cass Lake physician
(whose name is not mentioned) in
connection with the death of Nicho-
las Neutzling, whose thigh was
crushed and who died two hours
after being brought to St. Anthony's
hospital in this city. The Journal
Press says:
That the death Of Nicholas
Neutzling, the St. Cloud young man
who died at Bemidji yesterday morn
ing, following a railroad accident at
Cass Lake, was due to negligence
on the part of the attending physi-
clan in caring for bis wounds, is the
hypothesis advanced by Drs. Dunn,
Lewis, Boehm and Hubert, who held
a post mortem examination of the
remains this morning. 1t was their
opinion that Neutzling, had he re-
ceived proper medical attention,
would have recovered, but that he
was allowed to slowly bleed to
death.
An examination of the wounded
leg showed that the -femoral artery
was torn in the accident and the
blood of course flowed fast. To
check it nothing beyond administer
ing some drug to thin the blood
was done. Had the leg been tightly
bound above the laceration of the
artery the life of Mr.. Neutzling would
have been saved. AS it was he
survived but two hours after reach
ing the hospital at Bemidji.

CASS LAKE HELD LONG
PRAIRIE TO Ga SCORE
big Gene" Grady Pitched Fine Game
Against "Champs. "-j0hnson's
Catching Was Feature.

Several Bemidji baseball fans"
went to Cass Lake yesterday and
saw the game played at that place
yesterday evening between the
noted Long Prairie team and Cass
Lakeland they witnessed one of
the very best games ever played in
this section, Long Prairie winning,
by a score of to 4.
The Cass Lake team made a much
better showing than visitors outside
of Cass Lake citizens thought it
would be possible for them to do
against Rat" Johnson's fast
bunch"
The Lake" team was strength
ened by the addition of Toby
Farrell of Little Falls and Mason,
formerly with the Flandreau Indians.
These two players did good work,
especially Mason, whose first base
playing, outside the catching of
Johnson, and the great twirling of
Grady, was. the feature of the game.
Grady, Cass Lakes giant pitcher,
was in fine form. He had such
speed that it was impossible for
Oman to hold his delivery at all
times. He had good control and
pitched a fine game against the men
who claim the semi-professiona]
championship of the state. Grady
allowed but six hits and struck out
seven.
Koehler pitched for Long Prairie.
Five hits were made off his delivery,
and he struck out but three.

COUNTY BOARD ALLOWED
"PINE TREE" ABATEMENT
The Application for Abatement Of 1908 Taxes of Pine
Tree and Mississippi Lumber Companies Granted
Board Adjourned Yesterday Afternoon

The adjourned session Of the
board of county commissioners held
yesterday adjourned last evening"
after giving their attention to a
large amount of business which
came before them.
The petition of the Pine Tree
Lumber company and the Mississippi
Lumber company for abatement of
1908 taxes was considered by the
board and the abatement as petit
toned for by the lumber companies
was granted, by vote of to 2.
In their petitions the lumber
companies asked that their assess
ments be left as returned by the
assessor of 1908, the abatement
asked for being the IS per cent raise
on real estate as made by the state
board of equalization.
A petition of citizens of School
District No. IS for a special exam
liner to examine the treasurer's books
was granted and the county auditor
authorized to notify the public

action. A similar petition from a
majority of the taxpayers of the
Town of Cormant was also granted.
A school petition from citizens in
Township 1913, asking that new
district be formed out of territory
in districts 1O2 and 81, was given
hearing. A remonstrance, signed
by twenty-four resident taxpayers of
these districts, was presented, pro-
testing against the organizing of a
new district and giving as their
reason that lumber had been ordered
for a new school house at Cedar
Spur which would amply accommo-
date most of the children in the pro-
posed new district.
The petition was rejected.
William Lennon of Kelliher ap-
peared before the board and asked
that the county complete three
miles of road on the public highway
known as the Kelliher-Battle River
road.
Mr.. Lennon stated that this road
had been laid out for a number of

for Long Prairie. The famous COL
ored backstop is about the best
catcher in the state, barring none,
and the ease with which he catches,
with one hand, and his precision in
throwing to bases, is wonderful. He
didn't do much with the bat, not
getting hit off Grady.
The showing made by Cass Lake
greatly elated the supporters of the
players and they are entitled to much
praise.

years and some work had been done
thereon.
After due consideration, the board
authorized the advertising for bids
for the construction of this road,
! separate bids to be given for each
mile of road, plans and specifications
to be drawn by County Surveyor R.
K. Bliler.
Louis Graw of Cormant, E. P.
Squires of Battle River aud E. Die.
drich of During appeared before the
board and asked that two miles OF
road be built on the town line
between Battle River and Cormant,
between sections 81 and 80, Battle
River township, and sections S and

The board authorized the adver-
Using for bids for the construction
of this road, bids to be opened at
their meeting to be held Sept. 9TH.
c. w. Scrutchin appeared before
the board and asked the passage
of resolution annulling the ditch
assessments against the lands of
Charles Tiller and Christine Long
coy, their land having been asse ssed
for the Grass Lake ditch, the petit
TONERS claiming that the distance of
their land from the ditch was such
that they receive no benefits there
from.
The resolution was passed by the
board.
The price paid by the city of Be-
midi for the board of its prisoners
in the county Jail was taken under
consideration and upon the advice
of Assistant Attorney General L. A.
Smith, the sheriff was instructed to
make all bills at the rate prescribed
by statute and the board was auth
orized to see that such bills were
paid per the statute price.
During the winter of 1866 an
agreement was reached between the
City of Bemidji and the commission
ers of Beltrami county that city
prisoners should be boarded at the
rate of 80 cents per day.
Under the new arrangements
the city will be required to pay at
the rate of 90 cents per day.

While at Cass Lake yesterday, a
representative of the Pioneer had a
talk with DR.. Christensen, the
physician who cared for Neutzling,
after he was injured in the yards at
that place, the regular G. N. physi-
clan being absent.
DR.. Christensen was considerably
angered by the article printed in
the St. Cloud paper. He asserted
that he had done everything possible
for a human being to do to relieve
Neutzling; there is no hospital run
ming at Cass Lake; that the injured
man had been brought to the Bemidji
hospital as rapidly as possible and
all that surgery and medicine could
perform was done.
He also Indignantly denied the
insinuation that he was intoxicated
at the time; and intimated that he
seriously contemplated instituting
suits for damages against the Jour-
nal-Press and the physicians who
made the assertions given.
There is likely to be an interest
ing legal combat over the article
which the Journal-Press has printed
and the charges made by the doc
tors who examined the body of
Neutzling when the remains arrived
at St. Cloud from Bemidji.

BASEBALL REVIVED
IN CEDAR RAPIDS
business Men Pledge One-third of
Amount Necessary to Buy Team
and Build New Park.

Baseball's revival in Cedar Rapids
was given big impetus at a mass
meeting of business men held last
,vening. Belden Hill was present,
named the terms upon which he would
consent to manage the team another
season, and they were so nearly met
hat he agreed to represent the city
at the meeting at Chicago today.
Hill told his fellow townsman that
hey must expect TO lose money IN
baseball. He advised them to dig up
he money and donate it outright. in
stead of subscribing for stock that
would never pay cent of dividends
and thus disappoint many of the pur-
chasers. He declared that he would
accept the management only on con
fition that enough money be sub
scribed TO take the team off the hands
IF L. F. Broberg and to either buy or
lease a new park and make the neces-
saTy improvements. Hill said from
$4,000 to $4,000 would be required
and one-third CT that amount was sub
scribed on the spot.
