CASE OF MAhSLAUGHTER
1t Is Alleged Jerry Demo Of Bagley
Fractured UIvan's Skull.
rested Today.

John Ulvan, laborer of Bagley
who formerly lived at Hendrum in
the western part of the state, died at
2 o'clock Sunday morning in this
city from consussion of the brain
and a fractured skull and Jerry Demo
of Bagley is now under arrest, charg-
ed with manslaughter in the first
deg rec.
Oscar T.. Stenvick of Bagley,
county attorney of Clearwater coun-
ty, came in yesterday noon, accom-
panied by Ole Hesby, a friend of the
of the deceased, to take charge of
the remains. Mr.. Stenyick reported
that Ulvan had been injured in a
saloon brawl at Bagley on the even.
ing of February 5th.
Ulvan had been creating a distur-
bance in the Bank saloon in that
village and the bartender had twice
thrown him out of the place. When
the man returned a third time, it is
understood, the bartender told Jerry
Demo, a young Frenchman who had
been drinking quite heavily, to kick
Ulvan out. Demo, threw Ulvan out
the door and the latter fell upon the
cement walk, fracturing his skull.
The injured man was brought
to this city for medical attention
and Jerry Demo was arrested but
later allowed freedom on bail. Sun.
day noon DR.. Bjorneby of Bagley,
the coroner of Clearwater county,
came over and, assisted by Dr..
Henderson of this city, performed
an autopsy on the body of John
Ulvan, deciding that death was due
to conclusion of the brain.
Mr.. Stenvick allowed Ole Hesby
to take the remains to the old home
at Hendrum yesterday afternoon
for burial, and then returned to
Bagley where Jerry Demo was re-
arrested this morning. The prisoner
will be- given a hearing next Mon
day morning at 10 O'clock.
Demo is a young man % years
of age and is not accustomed to
drinking heavily. His parents live
at Bagley and are we'll respected.

Big Bill at Brinkman.

An exceptionally big bill at the
Brinkman last night attracted large
crowds all of whom went away
feeling we'll satisfied that they had
got their moneys worth and "then
some"
Miss Eva Thatcher,the Irish lady,
made a big hit with the fun-loving
public with her quaint songs and
savings and had everyone feeling
good natured from the start.
Miss May Hart's negro imperson-
alton also made quite an impression,
being decidedly out of the ordinary
and something that no one should
miss the opportunity of seeing.
De Monde & lDinsmore, presenting
a novelty and comedy, singing act,
cannot be spoken of too highly and
their many new and up-to-date jokes
brought rounds Of applause from the
large and delighted audience.
Both artists have very pleasing
voices and their rendition of the
Good Old u. S. A." with the aid OF
two magaphones proved a decided
novelty and a big success.
All new moving pictures are on
the bill tonight and the new pictures
are quite up to the usual standard ot
excellence always to be found at this
popular place of amusement.

Was Brilliant Success.-0ver 100 Couples and Many
Spectators Attended. ~ -

at the back in which was placed a
large picture of George Washington
A six-peice orchestra rendered ex
quisite music from this retreat.
Beautiful shields and spictures o1
Washington, appropriately decorated
with the national colors, were placed
at short intervals along the walls,
and near the ceiling were three
wheels, the two end ones with the
flags of every nation and the middle
one with our own emblems, which
were slowly revolved and acted as
fans for the dancers beneath.
Electric lights of red white and
blue colors, glowed softly through
the decorations. Two finely fur
nished parlors on platforms at the
rear of the hall provided a comfort
able retreat for the spectators and
those who desired to sit out any
dances. Colored attendants served
refreshments at each end of the ball
room to the merrymakers.
Judge: Bailey was called upon for
a few remarks appropriate to the
occasion and gave an excellent
speech on the duties of the soldiers
and the work of Washington, closing
with these words, washington,
first in war, first in peace, first in
the hearts of his countrymen,' may
be never be forgotten; Lincoln, with
malice towards none but charity
for all, may he to be loved and honor

Attorney P. ]: Russell was then

to the boys of his company.
This ball was one long to be

CHARLES S. CARTER TALKS
OF CHEAP DYNAMITE BILL
Charles s. Carter, of Kaye & Carter Lumber Company
Gives Views at Duluth on Needs of Northern Mime.
sota.-BelieYes There Is Iron Near Hines

MI. haye OF minneapolis, controls
some 10000 acres of land in the
vicinity of Blackduck and Hines, in
Beltrami county. and he, as we'll as
many other residents of that vicin-
ity, are firm in their belief that these
lands contain iron ore, and are in
fact located on the western arm of
the famous Messaba iron range, and
one of the objects of Mr.. Carter's
visit to Duluth is for the purpose of
consulting a well known authority as
to what extent the United States
Steel company extended their in.
vestigations in that vicinity, two
years ago.
Hines and the country east of
Blsckduck is some ten to twenty
miles south of Kelliher, the point
where representatives of the steel
company had drills working for
several months, making explorations;
says Mr.. Hines. : Just what was
found in the line of iron ore near
Kelliher has never been given to the
public, but from private sources I
learn that ore was found in large
quantities. Of course, this territory
may not be tapped for many years,
but | am satisfied that those who
may hold the mineral rights to lands
in the vicinity of Kelliher, Black
duck and east of there and also
southwark towards Bemidji will
eventually be holders of mining
properties, as well as most excellent
agricultural lands.
The value of Beltrami lands for
agricultural purposes has been DEM
5onstrated fully. Several farmers In
the vicinity of my home exhibited
their products at the Beltrami County
Fair last fall, and also the Mime
sofa State Fair, and in every instance
the exhibits won high prizes. Two
of our farmers won the special prizes
offered by Representative Opsahl
for the best yields of potatoes. The
winner of the first prize raised 40
bushels of fine potatoes on a single
acre of Beltrami county cut-over
lands.
The people of our northern
country are great admirers of G.
G. Hartley of Duluth, owner of the
famous Island Farm, out Grand
Rapids way. I believe that the
State of Minnesota owes a debt of
gratitude to Mr.. Hartley for the very
effective manner in which he has
demonstrated at Island Farm that
there are wonderful possibilities, from
an agricultural standpoint, in the
soil at the bottom of the swamps of
northern Minnesota, of which land
we have considerable along the line
of the Minnesota & International
railway, north from Bemidji. Mr..
Hartley has certainly performed
wonders, out at Island Farm"
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1909-02-23

VuAS uO WdS III Dulutu OdtuIudy,
Charles S. Carter Of Hines gave out
the following characteristic BOOM
interview. Mr.. Carter is loyal
supporter of this north country:
Il believe that the measure known
as the dynamite blll,' which is now
being considered by the Minnesota
legislature, with every indication of
being passed, as amended, will prove
of immeasurable benefit to the farm
ers on the cut-over lands of northern
Minnesota, and will have much to
do with inducing new settlers to
come into the country and locate on
these lands in the timber sections" :"
says Charles S. Carter of Hines,
Beltrami county, who is in the city,
having come in this morning from
St. Paul.
Mr.. Carter has spent the past
three days in St. Paul, in company
with a delegation from the Black
duck Commercial Club, attending
hearings held by the public lands
committee of the house, which body
had under consideration the bill
introduced by Representative Opsahl
of Bemidji, providing dynamite at
cost for farmers on cut-over lands,
of which Mr.. Carter was the origi-
nator.
State Auditor Iverson held a con-
sultation with Mr.. Carter and the
Blackduck delegation, at which the
constitutionality of the Opsahl bill
was considered; and it was decided
to substitute another bill for the
original bill, the latter to contain
the essential points of the original
bill furnishing dynamite at cost to
settlers) but making the change
that instead of paying for the dyna-
mite through the tax system, the
purchasers should pay for the explo-
sive at the time of making applica-
ton for the same.
1T is the intentions, should the
bill become law, to ship dynamite
in carload lots to centers of trade in
the northern part of the state in
charge of some responsible party,
and sales will be made c. O. D, says
Mr.. Carter. BY the passage of this
law, am firmly of the belief that
the one bane of the farmer on the
cut-over lands (removing stumps)
will be removed to a large degree,
and the country in Beltrami and ad-
joining counties will be the Mecca
for all kinds of people desiring good
homes on agricultural lands"
