BAUDETTE PRAISES
RAINY RIVERS AID
Interview With Deputy Sheriff Rutledge
Causes Mayor Williams to Issue
Letter of Denial
BEMIDJI MAN BACKS ASSERTION
Declares Prices at King Edward Hotel
Were Exorbitant and Offers
More Evidence.

The following statement has been
given out at Baudette:
An article appeared few days
ago in one of the International Falls
papers which purported to be an
interview with Mr.. Rutledge of Be.
midi, deputy under Sheriff Hazen,
and also a member of Company X
of the Third infantry, in which it
appeared that Mr.. Rutledge made
the statement based upon his wn
experience and investigation that
the people of Rainy River Ont. had
failed to, in any manner, offer relief
or assistance, or to help bury the
dead.
Mr.. Rutledge, according to this
paper, made the further statement
that he was charged 81 for a room
SO cents for a sandwich, and in
one of the licensed drinking
houses 81 for two soft drinks.
The statement as to what pur-
ports to have been Mr.. Rutledge's
experience we are not prepared to
deny, because we do not know
whether it is true or false, but all of
the other statements in the article
are unqualifedly false.
"a considerable portion of the
town of Rainy River was burned
the night OF the confagration in
Baudette and Spooner, and the
people of that little town had been
fighting fire constantly day and
night for several days, but not
outstanding this they did every
thing in their power to aid, and as
far as possible make comfortable
the people who we're carried into
their town in forty box cars from
Beaudette and Spooner. Practi-
cally all of the best citizens of
Rainy River threw open their
homes, and accommodated all the
people they had room for, free of
charge. Hugh Carson, mayor of
Rainy River, has shown an in
clination to do anything that could
be done to aid and relieve the dis
tressred. Probably 1900 people
from the destroyed Villages we're
taken care of in Rainy River for
three or four days after the fire,
and many of them are there yet.
I'VE have made inquiry of large
number of these people, but in no
single instance have we found any
person who had occasion to CON-
plain, but on the other hand every
BODY who was taken care of there
cOmmends the conduct of the
officers and people of Rainy River,
and feel that they owe them a debt
of gratitude they can never repay.
y. U. Williams,
Mayor of Baudette.
&C. R. Middleton,
President Baudette Commercial
Club"
Mr.. Rutledge today said he did
give out an interview somewhat
along the lines indicated, but that
he specified the King Edward hotel
as being the particular offender.
Il am not alone in my assertion
that exorbitant charges were made
in this hotel-there are at least hall
a dozen others who personally know
that what I said was true. I stand
by my original assertion which l
should not have made had I not
known what I was talking about"
