provaI OF the United States Govern
ment-pecIare They Have Refrained
From Selling lntoxicants to Persons
of Indian Blood.
st. Paul, Dec. 21-What probably
will prove to be the last lap in the
controversy between the federal gov
eminent and saloon keepers at Be-
midi over the Indian liquor lid was
started with the arrival in ST. Paul of
Judge Marshall l.. Spooner and Attor-
ney e. e. Mcdonald, representing
twelve liquor dealers in the Northern
Minnesota city. With them was
brought a copy of bill in equity
which will be filed in the United
States circuit coura, praying for a
temporary restraining order prohibit
ing "Pussyfoot" Johnson, T. Il. Brents
and III. f. Coggeshall, special Indian
agents, from destroying their prop.
erty or interfering with their business
Accompanied by United States Dis
trict Attorney Houpt the Bemidji law
yers went Immediately TO Minneapolis
to confer with Judge Willard of the
federal court relative to the institu
tion of the action.
The bill in equity covers twenty
eight typewriter pages. 1t states for
cause of action that the complainants
have paid the governments special
liquor license tax of s25 each; that
each has paid the state license tax;
that each has refrained from selling
liquor to Indians or individuals of In
dian Blood" that each has built uI
q profitable business which will be
affected by the acts of the Indian
agents If carried out as threatened
and that unless restrained and en-
Joined the established business o
each will be destroyed and ruined.
Few Indians Visit Bemidji.
The bill recites further that Be
midji has population of 1000 and
with it's suburbs, 5000; that 1t has
nine churches, four costly schools, q
public library and county property
valued at 100000. 1t declares there
IL no Indian reservation within TWEEN
ty miles and that Indians very infre
quently visit the city and then only

OF selling berries

mo effort has been made either BY
federal or state authorities to prevent
the sale of liquor and for more thar
thirty years licenses have been grant
ed by the state and municipal authori
ties. The United States government
during all this time, has accepted and
received special retail liquor tax ant
has given receipts therefor. which
conferred authority to sell liquors II

The contention of the Bemidji sa
loon keepers is that subsequent to the
treaty of 1855, which restricted tht
sale of liquor in nearly all the north
ern part of the state, other treaties
have been passed which nullify thu
original.

GOING As MILES AN HOUR

FOR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CUT
~ BROKEN GLASS.

New York. July 16.-The first sche-
duled trip Of the new monorail car
plying between Barlow on the Sound
and City Island. came to a disastrous
end this afternoon. Twenty or more
persons were injured. some seriously
when the superstructure at the top
and the bottom which forms a tracy
for the car gave way on a sharp
curve. The al was whizzing forty
five miles an hour at the time and
when stopped. toppled for an instant
and then fell over on one side. Forty
seven passengers were flung among
the debris at the bottom of the car and
some Of them we're pinioned in the
cigar shaped ends on the long, thin
monorail. That some OF Of them were
not killed in the whirling car is moth
ing short Of q miracle. Showers of
broken glass from the windows bonn
barded the helpless men and women
and caused flesh wounds.
The Petros hotel, a shore resort
nea by was turned into an impromp-
tn hospital. Just how many were Sc
riously injured could not be learned
because many Of the wounded were
taken away by friends in conveyances
which came from neal by stables and
from City Island. 1t is believed that
the superstructure was not strong
enough to stand the pressure put upon

1t was learned today, the English po-

While the police will not commit
themselves to the extent of intimating
that the woman took part in the muir

sharing the guilt.
Only her own story and subsequent
analysis to which it can be subjected

There is another theory, however,

Blame Where Ii Belongs.

Parents oftentimes wonder who
or what has ruined their boys. They
have been III school every day, but
the teacher either does not teach
them any lessons of morality or else
his teaching is a failure. The truth
is, the boys are on the street from
the time school closes until late at
night The street corner is the best
place in the world for teaching vice,
profligacy and crime. Nearly all
the bad language and idle, vicious
habits of boys are taught on the
streets at late hours of the night.
Teachers may be able to accomplish
a little in counteracting these evil
influences, but much of their labor
is in vain until parents cooperate
with them in keeping their boys off
the street.-LeMars Sentinel.
