Twas toward the latter part of
December in the year 1873. The
piercing wind was sweeping across
the covered fields in fitful gusts,
mailing my journey anything but
pleasant. 1 had travelled on foot
many miles, and the evening was
quickly drawing to a close. | had
previously hoped to have reached the
little village of B before dark,
there to anchor for the night.
The thoughts of the comforts at
tached to the old inn. which, by the
way, had not visited for many years,
cheered my heart, and / strobe forth
with more than my usual energy.
I had had what might have been
called very successful day. I had
collected quite a number of old ac-
counts which for some time past had
been source of worry and annoy

represented.
Thinking, however. of the pleas
ant reception should receive at their
hands, l trudged along until the
small lights of the village appeared
in the distance.
Signalling my arrival by loud
knock upon the door, I shook the
snow from my shoes and entered the
Parlour Inn.
Whatever pleasant hopes l had en-
tertained in my mind beforehand
seemed to vanish completely upon the
arrival of mine host. There was lack
ing that CHEEKY greeting which hither.
to in that old man had been so con
spicuous that the change struck me
in no unusual manner.
So. looking around the room,
picked up the local paper TO learn the
latest news of the adjacent vicinity

certain moneys belonging to the
state and paid to him as county
treasurer by the J. Neils Lumber
Company, in 1908. The transaction
did not come to light until
February of this year, when it was
brought to the attention of the pres
ent grand jury. Mr.. Shinn was
located in Portland, Oregon, and
steps taken at once to extradite him.
The extradition papers were recent
lily signed by the Governor and Mr..
McKusick, county attorney, caused
the defendant to be taken into
custody by wiring the authorities at
Portland.
Mr.. Shinn took his departure
from Beltrami county in 1903.
The affairs of the county treasurer's
office were in bad shape when he
departed ana large shortage was
made good by his friends. Mr..
Shinn had been in failing health
for some time PRIOR to his depart
ure, and the persons who investi-
gated the affairs of the office
believed that the shortage was due
more to lack of system and neglect
on the part of Mr.. Shinn rather
than a disposition upon his pert to
misappropriate the funds of the
county, and as before stated, what
was believed at the time to be the
entire shortage, was made good
by friends in this city who came to
his rescue.

fine points Of the mat game and has
the strength and endurance to resist
Gotch's strenuous tactics The match
is for purse CT $4,000. Two falls
out of three at the catch-as-catch-ca
style of wrestling will decide the
match.
Gotch has been in the game many
years and has met and defeated most

schmidt, ''the Russian IIion,' in this
city last year He is matched to meet
Hackenschmidt again in Australia
next winter Mahmout has been here
some months, taking falls out Of Jen-

a proper valuation and the people
had some guarantee of an eco
nomic administration of the
county's affairs, that bonds should
be issued to take up the floating
debt.
The two measures which have
been introduced in the legislature
and are now pending for the bond
ing of the county without the
vote of the people were pretty thor
oughly discussed and a resolution
adopted to the effect that what is
known as the certificate of indebted
ness bill should be made a law pro-
vided another bill were passed
making it gross misdemeanor for
county commissioners to allow claims
in excess of the tax levy for any one
year. With this restraint placed
upon the board of county commits
sioners, the league was of the opin-
ion that the floating indebtedness
of the county should be bonded.
The matter of perfecting the or
ganization of the League and the
matter of raising funds with which
to prosecute its objects was dis
cussed and the secretary was author
lied to appoint committeeman in
each town in the county. A reso-
luton was adopted expressing the
gratitude of the League for the un-
firing efforts of its secretary for the
futherance of its objects.

taken in from renting the armory
on special occasions.
The council awarded the renting
of the city opera house to the local
fire department at $3.50 year, the
city to furnish heat and to have the

.BELTRAM| COUNTY TAX
LEAGUE ANNUAL MEETING
Was Held at City Hall Yesterday
Many Matters of Importance
Were Considered.
The annual meeting of the Bel

The annual meeting of the Bel
trami County Tax League took
place at the City Hall on the 18th,
instant, at 2 o'clock in the after
noon. The meeting was largely at
tended and the towns north of Red
Lake and in the extreme northern
part of the country were represented.
Among other members from the
towns in the northern part of the
county were: Jens Wolden from
Saum, M. B. Pettingill from Firman,
F. M. Sweigart from the town of
McDougall, William Enge1bert and
Mr.. Johnson from the town OF
Stevenson.
The present officers of the
League were reelected for the
ensuing year, with the exception
of President Swedback. Senator
Swedback will be absent from
Bemidji a large part of his time,
and for that reason requested that
abe League select another presi-
dent, and Mr.. John Swenson Of
the town of From was chosen as
his Successor.
The affairs of the county were
very generally discussed.
Resolutions were adopted tc
the effect that it was the sense ot
the meeting that the state should
make an appraisal of the pine
lands of Beltrami county, and that
when the pine lands had been
placed upon the assessment rolls al

neglected to do so. The city attor
ney was instructed to take steps tc
compel Mr.. Slocum to return the
documents.
The council decided to pay ten
cents per load for dirt placed where
the street commissioner directed for
use on the streets this summer.
The usual number of bills were
allowed. The bill of the Lumber
mems National Bank, $50 for express
charges on the city's $4,000 water
bonds, was rejected, as it was under
stood that the bonding company
was to pay all costs in connection
with the sale of the bonds.
The report of the library board
for March was read and accepted.
The committee on jail and city hall
reported that the jail is in a danger
Gus and unsanitary condition and
that the city hall needs at least
two coats of good paint and the
plaster repaired. The report was
accepted and placed on file. City
Attorney Gibbons stated that if a
new jail, costing over 500, was
built, the plans would have to be
submitted for approval to the state
board of control and be absolutely
fire-proof, besides not being placed
as near the city hall as at present.
The committee appointed to in
vestigate the scavenger bills against
certain lots belonging to the Bemidji
Townsite & Improvement company
reported that the company had
always kept the lots clean and
there was no occasion for the
scavenger to perform any work there,
and they recommended the removal
of the assessments against these lots;
and the suggestion was adopted by
the council.
The report of the municipal court
for the week ending April 10th,
showing S142.1O paid into the city
treasury, was accepted.
The meeting held last night was
a regular meeting adjourned from
Monday evening. After the minutes
for the meetings on April Sd and 18th
were read they were corrected to
show that Alderman Shanonn was
present April Sd and absent April
18th, instead of vice versa as the
city clerk had recorded.

 Leonard did not make any defense at his preliminary examination, al though defended by Attorney J. Nj. Me. Collum, It is apparently his intention to make his fight for liberty when the matter comes up before the district court. .' F- a

First National statement-

The statement of the First National bank, published in another column of the Silver Belt this morning, shows a very hattering condition of this insti- tuition $ business, reAepting the steady growth of the city. The statement shows the bank to be carrying deposits of all classes to the amount of $579,- 1885, an increase of something like Sl00,000 over the last statement. The reserve on hand is shown to exceed 10 per cent, and the other figures of the statement show healthy and substantial growth. Globe is indeed blessed in the class and stability of her financial in. stitutions.
