The death roll of the Baudette.
spooner forest fire now numbers &c.
the last victim to be claimed being a
homesteader, Martin Brennan, who
was an inmate of the Baudette hos

found to be serious and at which
place he died. He was born at

THREE BIG HITS At
THE BRINKMAN TONIGHT

Tonight's performance at the
Brinkman Family Theatre will
open three exceptionally good
acts.
Barnes and Zarelli introduce an
act right from Chicago, that has
started many an audience "agoing."
Zarelli is wonder, has an excel
lent voice and a skirt dance of sur
prising grace and skill are some of
the characteristics and the comedy,
so fresh, spontaneous and original,
is bound to keep up the laughter.
At the close of their act they hand
out surprise packet that would
not be fair to divulge. No play
goers should miss this act.
F. E. Mitchell and Miss Alice
Willard, a team of variety artists
with an extensive stock of comedy
in song and speech will provide a
continuous laugh. They are already
in town having travelled over a thous..
and miles to entertain our citizens.
and they may be relied upon to de.
liver the goods. They both have
good voices, full, rich and parti-
cularly sweet. Mr.. Mitchell's solo.

was a scream. Miss Wizards cos
tunes are among the finest ever seen
on the Brinkman stage. She has
wardrobe valued at $500 and
every out will see her in a new gown.
Both artists are volcalists of ability
and are in happy sympathy with the
audiences.

DEATH THREAT TRUE
SAYS MAYOR HOWARD

It is true that threats were made
against the life of Judge Long and,
according to reports received by me,
I also was marked for slaughter by
the assassins." 4-
In these words Mayor John R.
Howard in Bemidji today paying
Indian annuities admitted that his
life was in danger, ~. -
Major Howard, who as agent at
the White Earth agency, has had
much to do with bringing about bet.
ter conditions among the Indians,
and in his efforts to check the evil
of selling liquor to Indians has in
cured the enmity of bootleggers.
. 1t is from this class of people that
Major Howard has received threats
of violence. He also has assisted
E. H. Long, special assistant to the
attorney general in uncovering land
frauds on the White Earth agency
and as a result both men have made
bitter enemies.
I haven't taken the reported
threats against my life seriously"
said Major Howard this afternoon.
1.-The reports that I am under a
heavy body guard perhaps come
from the fact that a couple of the
boys who started out with US took
their rifles along as they are on a
hunting expedition"
Major Howard is the kindliest
appearing of men, is greatly be-
loved by the Indians and is looked
upon by the department at Wash
ington as one of its most valuable
agents.

SEES BLESSING IN FIRE
Donald Robertson Says Farms Will Re-
suit; To Ask Free Seeds.

Following a personal inspection of
the fire swept district between War.
road and Baudette and Spooner,
Donald Robertson, of Argyle, state
representative from the Sixty-third
district, announces that he will en-
deavor to obtain an appropriation
from the coming session of the state
legislature to purchase timothy and
clover seed to be distributed to
the settlers.
AS result of his observations,
Mr.. Robertson has come to the con-
clu ion that the fire district is des-
tined to become the greatest dairy
ing district in the state. He be-
lieves the fire marks the beginning
Of real prosperity for this region
inasmuch as it will make the clear.
ing of the land easy and predicts that
within the next five years the farms
here will have more than tripled in
number.
He is convinced that y the plant
ing of timothy and clover the settlers
will reap rich rewards as, he says,
there is no district anywhere better
adapted for the vigorous growth of
these grasses and that it will result
in keeping the brush from growing
up again.
II shall ask the legislature to
make reasonable appropriation
to buy grass Seeds" said Mr..
Robertson, land I believe that,
when explain the great good
that will result from the sowing of
timothy and clover, there will be
no serious opposition to a free
disposition of the seeds. I already
have assurances from some of the
most influential members of tile
Legislature and if it is my privilege
to represent the people from this
district again, l shall consider it
one OF my first duties to-see that
the state shows this much attention
to the unfortunate inhabitants of
the ash-blackened district through
which l have just travelled"

The GREAT AMERICAN PLAY,

Paid in Full" is here. The
United Play Co. will present the
celebrated Eugene Walter play at
the Armory Theatre tonight. Who
will not look forward with
p]easurable expectany to seeing the
greatest drama of the generation the
most popular ever brought out in
this country? Maybe you are one
of the two and a half millions of
persons who have seen it. Possibly
you were of those who focked to it
in such number in New York that it
was kept running for two solid years
on Broadway; or perhaps you saw one
of the five companies that presented
it all over the country last season?
If so you will be more eager to see it
now, for such is its appealing power
that the oftener one sees it the often
er one wishes to. That is why it
has been played by five companies,
the largest number that ever ap-
peared in one play, and that is why
it has been seen by more persons than
any other play.
Paid in Full" is the most power
full story ever told on the stage. 1t
is lived all about us. Most of us
know a Joe Brooks, a weakling who
believed the world owed him its
good things, and failing to get them
honestly, tried to take them from the
pocket of his employer. The Joe
Brooks of Paid in Full" begins to
steal in the hour his young wife
utters her first word in bitterness
against the poverty that until then
she had endured without complaint.
Defeat meets him In theft as In all
else. There is speedy discovery,
whereupon be shows the craven and
seeks to barter his wife to save bin
self from prison. There is not a
moment of the play that is not ab'
sorbingly interesting, not an instant
that does not vibrate with power.
AS all the five companies in Paid
in Full" appeared in a New York in
the many engagements of the play
there, it is a New York cast that
will be seen in this city. Unde,
any conditions the coming of Paid
in Full" would excite a degree Of
interest possible to no other play,
while the promise of seeing is acted
by brilliant New York cast gives
greater attractiveneSs OF, the occasion

Mayor John Howard Pays Bemidji Com.
pliment on Manner in Which Peace
is Preserved.

More than 200 White Earth In
dams are being given several hun
bred dollars in Bemidji today by the
government.
At the same time evidence is being
collected to prove that frauds have
been perpetrated in the White Earth
reservation.
A squad of nine persons, only
three of whom are white. are hand
ling the Indians from improvised
offices on the second floor of the city
hall. Only one Indian policeman
accompanied the party. Major John
H Toward, agent at White Earth, had
charge of disbursing the funds. J. H.
Hinton, who comes from Washington
to collect fraud evidence, finds sew
eral full bloods have sold their land
which is contrary to law.
At ago p. m. 100 annuties had
been paid out, and as each annuit
ity amounts to $6.25, the total
amount of cash given the Indians
up to that hour was $872. The
first Indians to be; paid came in
from the White Earth reservation
and these were followed by big
delegation of White Earth Indians
from the Red Lake agency.
The paying out force will work
tate tonight in order to pay all
who come as tomorrow annui-
ties are to be paid at Walker.
The total amount of money to be
paid out in annunities, which merely
means the interest from the general
Indian fund, amount this year to
$35, 500.97. This money is distributed
from thirteen towns.
Il chose Bemidji as a paying
station" said Major Howard: be-
cause the train service is favorable
to the Indians. We do not 20 to
Cass Lake this year because Be-
midi is a more desirable point.
I'VE probably shall come here
again next year and more money
will be distributed, which means
much for your merchants, as the
Indians spend it for funds now in
stead of liquor.
Il want to say that Bemidji has
done fine in maintaining order. We
did not have a drunken Indian here
last year and not one has been
found today.
Thanks are due your mayor for
having closed the saloons and to
your police for keeping them shut"
Approximately $4,000 is expected
to be paid out, which is $1,000 more
than year ago.
The city hall presented an interest.
ing appearance throughout the day.
Bucks, squaws and papooses Aocked
to the building. All saloons were
closed and the merchants did
thriving business.
Several white women, wives of
Indians, drew money, as every child
of Indian blood is entitled to an an.
unity.
Josie Fairbanks OF Cass Lake
with nine children took the prize
today for big checks, drawing
$6.25 for each child. Up to date
Josie has had two husbands. *.

STILL A MYSTERY.
Continued from Page One.)

Light was shed today on the domestic
difficulties of Mrs. Alice Van Zandt by
the womans relatives who came here
from the East. Letters brought by her
aunt, Mrs. Jennie Sickles of Philadelphia
showed that the dead woman's misgivings
of her husband began a month ago.
Mrs. Siokles arrived here with John
Rutherford of Cape May, N. j., Mrs. Van
Zandt's father The two conferred with
the police. Van Zandt was again ques-
toned by the police today. He still as
serted his belief that his wife had COM
mtted suicide
The police attach considerable import
ance to the statement made to them by
Agnes Berry, the 17-year-old girl who was
sent to a convent last week because OF
her relations with Van Zandt. She told
| the officers that Van Zandt had asked her
| to run away with him. adding: "He told
me he would get rid of his wife and then
take me. But I refused, telling him that
| would not be in the convent long. as
| | would be of age in May"
The girls statement was made before
she had been informed of Mrs. Van
Iandt's tragic death. She acknowledged
the police say. that she accompanied Var
street, which was raided by detectives
yesterday. The six adults captured there
are being held as witnesses for the cor
oner's inquest into the death of Mrs
Van Zandt.
