That Swan Johnson, the dead
bandit, and his fugitive pal" who
blew the safe at Puposky and after
wards engaged in a deadly combat
with local officers, were men who
had lead a desperate career for
many years and were experienced
safeblowers, has been ascertained
through the officials of Ottertail
county, who have not only identified
Johnson, but who are also confident
that they know the fugitive bandit,
and are acquainted with his record.

F1enning, the old home of Johnson,
and deputy sheriff of Ottertail
county, arrived in Bemidji last even
ing for the purpose of attending the

Johnson; and the Henning officer

CITY COUNCIL REFUSED
BORDEAUPS APPLICATION
At Request Of Special Indian Officer Gilbert Bordeaus
Application for Saloon License Is Unanimously Re.
jected.-Specal Officer Makes Charges

Without a dissenting vote, the
city council has refused the applica.
ton of Gilbert Bordeau for city
license to sell Intoxicating liquors in
the building known as the Park
Hotel, the refusal of the application
being voted at the request of H. A.
Larson, special officer of the Indian
service, who filed a protest in pur.
suance to instructions from William
E. Johnson, chief officer of the
Indian service for the suppression of
the liquor traffic among the Indians.
Bordeau's application came up at
the meeting of the council held last
evening, in consideration of routine
business, and before vote was taken
on the application, the protest of
Mr.. Larson was read and considered.
Mr.. Larson stated that pursuant
to instructions from William E.
Johnson, he requested the council
not to grant the application of
Bordeau for several reasons.
One of the reasons given by
Mr.. Larson was that the building
in which Bordeau desired to en-
gage in the sale of liquor was out
side the beat usually covered by
the police of the city, where Bor-
deau, if he so desired, could
easily furnish liquor to Indians;
and also that the character and
reputation of Bordeau was such as
not to guarantee that he would
not sell liquor to Indians.
Mr.. Larson also stated that
there were indications that Bor-
deau was being backed by Frank
Gagnon; also that one of the
bondsmen was not owner of suff-
cient property to be a good and
sufficient surety.
AS Frank Gagnon had been i'm
plicated in a charge of selling
liquor to Indians, reference to
Gagnon possibly being the hacker
of Bordeau had considerable
weight with the council, and
coupled with Mr.. Larson's other

Officers, Expresses Himself Favor.
ably Toward Bemidji.

E. S. Oakley of St. Paul, former
register of the u. S. land office at
Cass Lake, and who is now assistant
United States district attorney, was
in Bemidji today, and in speaking
of the closing of the saloons in
what is termed the Indian country"
under the provision of the treaty
of 1855, said:
WILLIAM E. Johnson, the special
officer who is in charge of the
campaign to suppress the liquor
traffic among the Indians of Mime
sofa, pays Bemidji a very high CON-
pliment on the manner in which the
citizens of Bemidji, and more especi-
cally the larger portion of the
saloonkeepers, are cooperating with
the special officers in keeping
liquor from the red wards of the
government who are inhabitants of
the Red Lake, Leech Lake and Cass
Lake Indian reservations. -
Mr.. Johnson said that Bemidji is
the best town in the so-called
Indian country in this respect; that
the city council here has did all in
its power to keep undesirable people
from securing licenses; and that, if
this attitude is maintained, there
will be little likelihood that the sa-
looms of Bemidji will be closed by
the special officer of the Indian de-
partment."

Preparations are being made by
Bemidji Lodge, No. 1852, B. P. O.
Elks, to observe in fitting manner
the annual memorial Sunday, on
Sunday December 5, and indications
point to the services being the most
impressive ever held in northern
Minnesota.
The mem orial committee consists
of F. S. Lycan, exalted ruler; Judge
Marshall A. Spooner, Judge C. w.
Stanton, E. H. Jerrard, past exalted
ruler; and John c. Parker; and this
committee has arranged a program
which for real worth has never been
equaled by any Elks' lodge in this
section.
The committee has secured Hon.
Tracy Bangs of Grand Forks, N. D.,
to deliver the memorial address, and
the North Dakota gentleman has
promised one of the best speeches of
his career for the memorial exercises
to be held in Bemidji.
Mr.. Bangs is known over the
northwest as one of the best, if not
really the very best, orator in North
Dakota, and as an Elk he is high in
the councils of the order.
Norman P. Black, famous singer
of Grand Forks, will accompany Mr..
Bangs and will sing several appro-
pirate selections at the services.
Masten's orchestra has bee n
engaged for the occasion and will
furnish some special music.
The exercises will be held in the
city hall, beginning at $3.50 p. M,
and prior to that hour all local and
visiting Elks will meet in the Masonic
hall and march in a body to the city
hall.
A general invitation is extended
to all Elk lodges ad jacent to Bemidji
to attend and participate in the
exercises and a splendid welcome
will be extended to all the visiting
brethren.
The general public is also in
vited, and it is more than likely that
the hall will be crowded next Sunday.
The first Sunday in December is
observed by all the lodges of Elks
throughout the United States as a
memorial day, when services are
held concentrating the memory
of brothers who have gone beyond,
and it is imperative that all Elks
should attend these services.
Bemidji Lodge, No. 1852, B. P. O.
Elks, has lost two members, George
A. Markham and Patrick A. Walsh
a record of whose death is given a

reasons, resulted in the council
unanimously voting to reject the
application.
It was the sentiment of the coun-
Gil that the city should cooperate
in every way possible with the
special officers of the Indian de-
partment in supressing the sale of
liquor to Indians, and the action
taken last night was in keeping with
the determination of the council.
The council transacted consider
able routine BUSINESS at this meet
ing.
A batch of bills, including the
city payroll of $4,000 were allowed.
The fire department filed a bill
against the city for money due for
four fires, as follows: At Good
mans cement plant, $50; at Gullick-
sons. $17; at Sherwood's, $34; at
Eric Nelson's, SIS; making a total
of $122, which were allowed.
1t was the sense of the council
that George Knott be requested to
renew the contract which his
deceased wife had with the city to
care for the city poor, when his
accounts could be allowed.
The bill of A. A. Warfeld for
abatement of sewer tax was allowed.
The application of Edwin Gearlds
for liquor license was received and
read and ordered published.
The report of the municipal court
for the week showed fines of $11
paid to the city treasurer.
Ordinance No. "a, establishing a
new grade on the hill between 18th
and 18th streets, was given it's third
reading and passed. This ordinance
cuts down that portion of the grade
at the point of the hill some three
feet.
The water committee was in
structed to test the meter at the
Challenge hotel and ascertain if the
water rate given to the proprietor of
the place was correct, complaint be-
ing made to the council that the rate
was excessive.

DEAD BANDIT AND opal"
KNOWN IN OTTERTAIL co.
Swan Johnson's Companion on Night of Fatal Fight
With Officers, Was Undoubtedly "AI." Vandecar,
Alias "Leonard Experienced Crackesman

Some years ago, his barn burned,
two mules perishing in the fire. He
sued the railway company, claiming
the fire caught from an engine, and
later settled on advantageous terms.
Then his house burned, and it is
said that again he did not lose any
thing.
johnson had been living with a
man whose real name is Vandecar,
but who has also been known as
Smith, alias AL Leonard. This man,
then giving his name as Smith, was
convicted on the charge of blowing
a safe in Henning and sentenced to
states prison from this city a few
years ago. He served his sentence
and took the name of Leonard after
he came out.
Officers have suspected that he
aud Johnson were engaged in bank
burglaries in the eastern part of
the county, and when Sheriff
Billings took Office a year ago, he
warned Leonard that if there were
any further bank robberies lin this
county, he and Johnson would be
called upon to answer. Since then
there has been nothing doing in
this line here.
johnson and Vandecar left Hen
ming only few days ago, the latter
stating that he was going to Red
Lake Falls. It may be that he has
gone there, or he may have gone on
to Puposky with Johnson. If it
should prove that he is the missing
bandit there is likely to be more
bIoodshed before he is taken, as he
is man of great determination. In
any event, this county will be re-
lieved to know that the two men are
gone"
Mr.. Halvorson, the Henning Of
ficer, has talked with local parties
who have a description of the man
who was seen in company with john
son previous to the Puposky robbery,
and from information given, he is
certain that Johnson's companion on
the fatal night was none other than
Vandecar, alais Leonard; but as to
how he made his escape from this
section is a mystery which no one
volunteers to solve, although some
clues are being quietly followed, and
may result in his apprehension.
