Jones Got Away With the
Pile; Bankers Make Inquiry

correspondent at Rugby for the past
two years. Because he was suspicious
of him he never permitted him to
borrow without rst-class security.
In the past few days, Mr.. Miller
says that he has seen several bankers
from different parts of the state who
have had dealings with Jones. All of
them held securities of doubtful val
ne These bankers were outside of
the regular line of communication,
which indicates that Jones' operations
may prove to be more extensive than
is believed at present, although even
now it is asserted that his dealings
may disclose at least 100000 of val
ueless securities.
About two years ago the National
German American bank, of this city,
loaned Jones $4,000. At the same
time two banks in Minneapolis each
lent him an equal amount.
A banker returning from New York
ascertained that bank in that city
had loaned him $4,000 on some Sc
curities which proved to be of doubt
full value.
Through Mr.. Miller, the other Twin
City banks were notified, and they
succeeded in disposing of the securit-
les before Jones had chance to get
away with the money.

MAY LOSE HIS LICENSE
MAPLETON SALOONMAN SELLS
DRINK TO A DRUNkARD.
Has Been Repeatedly Warned Not to
Do So, But He Failed to Pay Any
Heed to the Orders.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
The Mapleton Enterprise says that
on Saturday evening the village coun-
ell met in executive session to con-
slider the case of Mr.. Charles Splett,
who conducts a saloon in the Maple
ton house. 1t seems That number of
complaints have been lodged with
Mayor Borchert as to the manner in
which the saloon was being conducted
and several weeks ago Mr.. Borchert
personally gave Mr.. Splett notice that
he should not sell to a certain man
who was neglecting his family. A few
days later the mayor stepped into the
saloon only to find the man being sup
piled with liquor. Recently there was
also bad fight in the saloon and
other disturbances against the peace
and dignity of the village have been
noted such as selling to habitual
drunkards. Mr. Splett when summoned
before the council admitted some OF
the accusations but was of the opinion
that he was conducting his place as
well as the others, citing an instance
where an habitual drunkard had been
drunk for several days, yet had not
been in his place for months. He was
informed that he was only to look
after his own place and that if he
obeyed the law he would be mmo-
Tested but that in the future violations
would not be overlooked. The council
did not want to use any harsh meas
ures or work any hardship, but they
proposed that the laws shall be obeyed
not only by Mr. Splett, but by al
others.
Judging from comments made, Mr.
Splett will not be called up again
but if the warning is not sufficient he
will find himself in the same position
he was at Minnesota Lake where he
was refused license prior to coming
to Mapleton.

From Saturdays Daily-


A. H. Jones, the Barton, n. D.
banker who has disappeared, formerly
lived in this section of Minnesota and
the following story from The st.
TauI Dispatch, will be of interest:
w. A. Miller, vice president OF the
First National bank, of this city, is of
the opinion that Andy Jones, the
missing cashier of the First National
Bank of Rugby, n. d., whose disap-
pearance is noted on the Northwest
page of the Dispatch, secured from the
st. Paul bank the money with which
he fled.
About two weeks ago Jones pre-
scented check for $500 to Mr.. Mil
Ter. He was suspicious of Jones, but
investigation showed that the check
was genuine. 1t was drawn by a
bank at Long Prairie, this state, on
a Minneapolis bank, and was made
payable to Jones.
Jones was anxious to secure legal
tender for the check, saying he need
ed it to make a payment in Duluth.
He asked that he be paid in gold.
Mr.. Miller suggested that the bank
might get its Duluth correspondent to
advance the funds, but Jones finally
concluded that he had better take the
money himself. Consequently, he was
given the amount of the check in
$50 and 800 notes.
Il remarked that he looked rather
shaggy, and as he went out of doors
noticed that his clothes looked fray
ed at the edges, and instinctively !
concluded that there was something
wrong about him. | expressed this
opinion to Mr.. Nienhauser, our cash

LARGE TRACT AT STAKE
INDIANS LAY CLAIM TO MUCH
LAND IN MINNESOTA.
Supreme Court Is Called Upon to De-
eide a Point in Which the State
Is Interested.

st. Paul, Jan. lS.-Fifteen counties
in northern Minnesota will revert to
the Mississippi, Pillager and Chippewa
tribes of Indians, should the United
States supreme court uphold the claim
made by these tribes i'll "a complaint
filed by Gus H. Beaulieu, a Chippewa
who for years has been recognized as
a leader of Indians residing in Min
nesota.
State Auditor Samuel G. Iverson on
Saturday called in conference with him
to consider the case, Governor John A.
johnson, and Attorney General George
T. Simpson. The details of the case
were carefully gone over, and plans for
protecting NInnesota's interests in the
case were fully discussed
Back to Early Treaty.
The claim of Beaulieu is an offshoot
of the case brought i'll the court of
claims at Washington, d. c., by the
Minnesota state auditor, in which Min
nesota sets up its demand for title to
l47 900 acres of swamp land in the
Leach lake and Winnibashica lake dis
tricts. This at present is federal land,
and the auditor demands it for the
state under the congressional swamp
land grant enacted in 1860. Various
phases of this claim have been in con
troversy for some years past.
Beaulieu goes back, however, to the
treaty of Feb. %, 1855, when the In
dams ceded Il great amount OF Mime
sofa territory to the federal govern
ment This treaty included what now
comprises the counties of Clearwater,
Beltrami. Mahnomen, Becker, Wadena,
Todd. Otter Tail Morrison, Koochich-
ing, Itasca, Crow Wing, Aitkin, Mile
Lacs and Hubbard.
Government Was at Fault.
Beaulieu says that in passing title
to the government, the Indians in turn
were to receive certain concessions, and
certain money payments. He charges
that the government failed to fulfill
these conditions, and that therefore the
title must revert back to the Indian
tribes.
The ruling of the lower court at
Washington on the claim of Minnesota
was in favor of the state, but the
opinion recited that it might be posi-
BILE the conditions of the Indian treaty
had not been fulfilled by the federal
government The lower court, however,
refused to rule on this point, explain
! ing that it was entirely outside of the
record in that case. Beaulieu has
brought the matter up again in his APP
peal to the court of last resort.
Mr.. Iverson expresses the belief that
there is little danger of the Indians
winning out in their claim of title to
this vast tract; that their point is
| far fetched.

An unknown man, supposedly a weav- CT from the articles found on him, was Killed at ths Falls in this city early Friday morning by southbound Gen. tral Vermont freight train, his body being found beside the track. There was nothing on his person which would give any clue to his identity. He was young man, scantily dressed, who was evidently on the road looking for work. How the affair occurred is not known. and it is not known just what train struck him.
 The body was found on the south side of what is termed the tunnel at the Falls. Joseph Carberry upon be- ing Informed had a telephone message sent to police headquarters, and Med ical Examiner Dr. G. R. Harris was sent to the spot. He viewed the re- mains, finding that the head had been badly crushed and that one leg had been run over. About ten feet south of the arch there was blood, the body being a few feet south of that on the bank. It is supposed that death was almost instantaneous. Undertaken Gag CT was given permission to remove the body, and took it to his morgue soon after o'clock.
