Brush Fire at Lavinia.

Firewarden Shannon was called
to Lavinia yesterday afternoon to
fight brush fire that was slowly
getting beyond control. The fire was
started in the brush by settler, but
the wind soon swept it into the dry
underbrush where he found that he
was unable to cope with it alone. A
back fire was started so that the
fire would not spread and it had
burned itself out by morning.
Small brush fires to the east have
frequent for several days, but none
have assumed any size and no dam
age has been reported. The woods
are getting dry and soaking rain
is needed to do away with the pos
sibility of bad fire.

THEATRICAL COMMENT.

A fair bill is being presented at
the Brinkman this week. If it was
a little better balanced, it could
easily be placed in the good" class.
The pictures are above the average,
and especially the one dealing with
the story of Nero and the burning of
Rome. The illustrated song is
neither catchy nor pretty and the
pictures shown with it are excellent
examples of what man can stand
when nothing better is in sight.
Whitworth and Pearson head the
bill with skit called Pure Insanity"
1t is pure and clean. The: situation
is possible and is well worked out.
The number is a good one and
worthy of its place.
Miss Mable Cassidy has some
songs that are catchy. one which is
a parody on Anybody here seen
Father" having two verses on Mayor
Parker and Chief Benner. Miss
Cassidy has pleasing voice when
she does not strain it. Her mono
logue is just trihe shady.
The Wilson's" who use the flying
rings, have two or three clever exer-
cises. but the others are simply
strength tests. Miss Wilson is too
prone to pose to suit the average
audience. The bill will be put on
again tonight at 7:2O and 9 p. m.

SPORTING NOTES

Track Coach Dick Grant of the
University has finally succeeded in
establishing his long awaited train
ing camp at Lake Minnetonka, and
will begin active operations as soon
as the cottages now under con-
struction are completed.
The camp is new institution in
these parts and not generally under
stood. The idea is to provide
place where regular course of
training and athletic instruction
may be obtained by young boys,
athletes, or in fact, anyone who
wishes to 90 and is acceptable to
the instructors in charge. The idea
is sanctioned by the athletic in
structors at the University and
about the city.
Mr.. Grant has secured a tract of
100 acres at Mound on Lake Mime
tonka, within easy reach of the rail-
road, yet secluded enough for the
purpose intended. The tract is fiat
and will contain a quarter-mile track,
a baseball diamond and a football
gridiron. Facilities for swimming
will also be provided. DR.. Grant
and number of University athletes
will give daily instruction in gym
nastics and conduct and oversee all
athletic exercises and contests.
Track suits will be the conven-
tional attire in order to get the full
benefit of the hot sun. Meals will
be taken at the camp and a rigid
camp discipline enforced. No
tobacco nor intoxicants will be per-
mitted.
The members will be divided
into classes according to age and
their exercises and instruction given
accordingly. War canoes and boats
will be provided and swimming
allowed only certain hours of the
day, under the supervision of the
instructors.
The camp will furnish an ideal
place for University athletes 10 train
and much benefit is expected to
accrue in tina: direction. Every
form of athletic exercise will be
INDUCED in and sprinting and dis.
lance running practiced.
A regular training diet will be
enforced. These camps are becom.

I am in hearty sympathy with

the general development program in
the Northwest. The effect of these
gatherings cannot help but be Of
great benefit to farming generally,

CAsS LAKE AND cRO0KSTON
HAVE CONTEST CASES STARTED
State Law Says That Squatter. Have
Prior Rights But Many Will
Fight Anyway.

Many hundreds Of would-be set
tiers were disappointment Cass Lake,
Crookston and Duluth yesterday.
The Twin City papers and the As.
ISOLATED Press had published broad
cast that all the settler had to do
was to stand in line and receive his
land and that he would have prior
rights over squatters. The state
law says that the land must be seen
before it can be filed on and that
squatters have prior rights. &.
At Cass Lake, the largest numbe,
were disappointed. They had
f1ocked in from all points of the
compass because more land was to
be opened there. Many came from
other states and had not ever seen
the land they wanted. i They had to
return with nothing Ito show for
their time and expense. The land
around Cass Lake has been settled
for several years by squatters wait
ing for this opening, and as they
had prior rights, very little was left
for the new corners who had merely
seen the land. For those who had
not even seen it, there was nothing
at all. re.
Several contests have been
started at Cass Lake. They have
been filed by the squatters against
the men who filed on their land.
Attorneys who have the cases say
that in every case the squatter is
sure to win out for the state law
is plain. 1870 ...
A special from Crookston received
this morning says that Fred Tyndall
and Andrew Lien, the first two to
file, have contest cases against
them as someone was already on
the land on which they filed. Five
other contests had been started by
evening yesterday. The claims con.
tested in Crookston are on the Rapid
river and worth from $4,000 to &c.,
900.
Many who were disappointed
in the opening say that the whole
story was fabricated by the rail-
roads 80 that they could get the
transportation. The Great Northern
got the most of the transportation as
it runs through all of the filing
towns. The openings themselves
were quiet, but later Developments
seem to promise excitement. -..

DAHL TAKEN TO JAIL
TO SERVE SIXTY DAYS
Ten Days Allowed for Filing Appeal
Elapsed Without Any Action
Being Taken.

"A. ]. Dahl, former patrolman on
the Bemidji force, is now confined
to the county Jail under sixty
day sentence. Dahl was convicted
on June 2 of an assault on John
Orenger committed on May 81. An
appeal was to have been taken
but the ten days allowed by the law

with the Judge or notice being
served on County Attorney Nc
Kusick. Commitment papers were
issued last Thursday and Dahl
taken to Jail.
At the trial, Graham Torrance
prosecuted in place of Mr.. Nc
Kusick and the evidence brought
out was about the same as was
published in the Pioneer soon after
the assault. Orenger is the man
man who testified in the Langdon
case that Dahl and Patrolman
Smith had been frequenters of the
place. His testimony made Dahl
mad so the next time he saw him, he
struck him on the neck. >5
Smith was a bystander at the time
of the assault and held Dahl's star
while he hit Orenger. Smith was
also implicated in the Langdon trial.
When Dahl told him to arrest Oren-
ger, he refused. Neither reported
the case to their superior, Chief
Benner. -. ,..-
AT the time of the assault, Mayor
Parker was out of town and acting
Mayor Kirk removed both policemen
and told them to await futher action
until the mayor returned. : Mayor
Parker reinstated Smith and he is
now on the force Dahl was later
arrested on a charge of assault. and
was unable to clear himself.
Dahl will now have to serve his
sixty days in jail unless his fine is
paid: S.. ...@~.

proceedings in the nature of habeas
