MERCURY DROPS AZ POINTS
Hard Freeze, Under Clear Skies, Pre-
dicted for Tonight.

In less than "a hours, the ther-
mometers in Bemidji have dropped
AZ degrees and are still going down,
with indications of hard freeze to-
night.
Yesterday the City Drug store
thermometer shot the mercury up to
the 70 yard line; at noon today it
had crawled down to So degrees,
only four above freezing. The baro-
meter indicated clear, cold weather
for the next twenty.four hours.
The rain which fell internationally
yesterday and last night ceased
this forenoon, the clouds being
driven away by a chilling blast
from the northwest, blowing at a
velocity of fifty miles an hour.
The rain has temporarily removed
the danger of forest fires, although
in some places the woods still
shoulder and the gale of today may
fan the flames into action again.

MAYOR FoRBIDs BoNF|REs
lnsructs Chief Of Police to Arrest
Offenders.

Mayor John {. Parker issues a
caution against the kindling Of bon
fires and has requested Chief of
Police Harrington to see that the
ordinance forbidding the lighting
of out of door fires within city
limits, is strictly enforced.
This action is taken because of
the dry conditions which have pre-.
vailed throughout the present season,
increasing the danger from this
source. 1t is known that some of
the recent bad blazes in the forests
we're due to carelessness along this
line and the mayor proposes to take
no chances in the city.

For this we were charged 81. An
other man was refused a room be-

thought he had no money.

SHERIFF MADDEN
FIRST WITNESS
Testifies at Deitz Hearing
at Hayward, Wis.
NEVER SERVED WARRANT

Says He Did Not Dare Attempt to Go
to Deitz Homo With Papers Because
He Was Dangerous Man-Admits
He Saw No Weapons in chiIdren's
Hands When Elmyra and Clarence
. Were Shot.
Hayward, Wis, Oct '19.-Sheriff
Mike Madden was the first witness in
the preliminary hearing of John, Les
lie and Hattie Deitz for the murder of
Oscar Harp, a deputy, who was shot
during the attack on the Deitz cabin a
week ago last Saturday. Three Of his
statements were especially startling,
one of them bringing a hearty laugh
from the entire Deitz family and guf-
flaws from the crowded courtroom.
Attorney Rubin, in the course Of
Madden's examination, asked the sher-
if why he had not served any war.
rants on Deitz and the sheriff replied:
Because l was afraid of him."
whereupon the Deitzrfamily broke into
laughter.
WELL" 9sked the attorney, what
did you have deputies for?''
because Deitz was a dangerous
man." was he sheriff's reply, which
caused another laugh.
Madden admitted to Attorney Rubir
that he had concealed from the Deitz
family the fact that Thorbahn and Var
Alstyne were deputies. He said he
thought that by doing so he could sur.
prise the Cameron dam man.
The sheriff also declared that the
warrant for the shooting or Horel had
never been served on Deitz and that
no attempt had been made to serve
that particular warrant or any other
warrant that he had had in the past
two years.
Letter Was Written to Deitz.
The Milwaukee attorney, when Mad.
den admitted that the Horel warrant
had never been served, asked the sher-
if how he thought that Deitz would
know he was wanted by the sheriff.
WELL" answered the Sawyer .coun-
ty sheriff, "Thorbahn wrote letter to
Deitz at my order, telling him that he
had better give himself up, as he was
wanted"
In telling of the shooting of Myra
DeitZ, Madden admitted that he had
seen no gun in the hand of any of the
DeitZ children. He said that he knew
it would be no use for him to under
take to serve any warrants on Deitz
because the prisoner had defied so
many officers of the law. BESIDES"
he added, II knew it wasn't safe"
Walter Bunk was the only other wit
ness summoned. Bunk was with Harp
when the latter was shot through the
mouth. He said that he thought that
the shot had come from the direction
of the barn, but That he wasn't abso-
lutely sure. ..~
Both Bunk and Madden had a habit
during the entire testimony of saying
81 don't know" or 81 don't remember
in answer to questions put to them by
Attorney Rubin. ri. b.

Lock Salmon, Ptarmigan and Monaghan
Pheasants to be Placed in State
Park Without Delay.
RESULT OF COMMISSIONS VISIT
Members in Bemidji on Way to St. Paul
Pledge Aid for Minnesota Great
Natural Reserve.

Lock salmon, one of the rarest
and most valuable of the salmon
species. ptarmigan, interesting birds
from Norway and Sweden, and the
beautiful Monaghan pheasants are
some of the attractions which are to
be added to the Itasca state park as
result of the visit. for the first time
in the history of the state, of the
state game and fish commission to
Minnesota's protected region of
natural beauty at the source of the
Mississippi River.
Members of the game and fish
commission together with M. Helm
zelman, superintendent of the park,
were in Bemidji last night, on their
way to St. Paul. In the party were
Commissioners Rider, Hanna, Brad
ley, Vessel, Cobb, Johnson, and
Wardens Munich of Crookston and
S. c. Bailey of this city.
The visit of the commissioners,
an event l have been laboring for
during the two years I have been
superintendent. is going to mean
great Improvements for the state
park" said Mr.. Heinzelman.
The commissioners were amazed
at the magnitude of the reserve and
the splendor of its rugged beauty.
They were so impressed that each
man informed me he should take a
more personal interest and a greater
pride in the park than ever BEFORE"
The first important decision of
the commissioners was to stock
Elk Lake with Lock Salmon. This
will be done as soon as possible and
the foreign birds will be added to
the forest which now resounds with
the song of many different winged
varieties.
The commissioners spent four
days in the reserve which is five
miles wide and seven miles long
lying mostly in Clearwater county,
IS miles south and little west of
Bemidji. Within its boundaries
there stands 100000 feet of virgin
pine through which scampers all
the wild animals pecu lar to this
latitude, which includes eight or ten
moose, 800 deer, 800 beaver, large
number of mink, wolves, bear, lynx,
fox, ottar and arctic hare.
Partridges and deer are more
plentiful than ever, said Superinten-
dent Heinzelman, and are rapidly
increasing, but the game needs pro.
lection ard as a result of the CON-
missioners' visit I have been promis-
ed large force of game wardens
during the hunting season. Last
year the slaughter of deer was de-
plorable.
The number of visitors to the
park this year was 800, the largest
in the history of the park and
nearly double that of last year.

Conservatives of Britain Ready to

Kings Death.
SAY WORRY KILLED HIM
King George V. Promises to Rule
After Example Set by
His Father.

LONDON, May :. - Signs are not
wanting that the Conservatives intend
to take advantage of the sorrow of the
nation over the death Of King Edward
to bring the Liberal government into
disfavor by charging Premier Asquith
and his colleagues with the response
bility of Fastening the kings death by
Itheir threats OF forcing his assistance
in their fight against the house of lords.
1t is being pointed out that one of the
plans of the government was to insist
on the king creating large number of
| new peers, sufficient to swamp the Con
| sentative majority in the house of lords.
This threat, openly made during the
! general elections aud afterwards when
the Liberal majority repassed the Lloyd
| George budget, worried Edward, the
| Conservatives say, at a time when his
physical condition was such that he
should have been saved from such
| trouble.

ENGLISH ACTS
At The GARRICK

Claude Duval, the big scenic act whclh
Is being so acceptably presented at the
Garrick Theatre this week, is an Eng
lish importation that gives every prom
ise Of making a tremendous success this
side of the water. Handsomely staged
with a company Of twenty or more
people and a half dozen horses, it would
seem that this is certainly a costly ag-
gregation to bring all the wav from Eng
land TO find a place In the vaudeville
successes on this side. The story OF
Claude Duvar' is "A story of a noted
Highwayman of the time of King Charles
III. who while expressing allegiance to
the King on all occasions enjoyed rep
utation as a gentleman highwayman OF
the most artistic type. The act tells the
story I'm an admirable manner and fur
nishes as interesting a bit of dramatic
work as one would care to see. Mana
ger Dockstader has another big English
production in "Dick Turpin," coming
next week. Turpin was no less a high
wayman than Duval but made Of differ
ent material, and the appearance of the
two features in succession at the Gar
rick marks two events of more than
usual interest
