Contest for Former Office 50 Close
That Late Returns Reverse Lead
+ Held By Hayner.
BERG'S MAJORITY MORE THAN 600
Funkley's Plurality Over Campbell i.
Now 438 and Will be Increased
By Missing Precincts.
81 On the face of returns now in, I
do not concede that have lost the
nomination-R. C.. Hayner.

With returns in from IS of the 81
voting precincts in Beltrami county,
James George leads in the spectacu-.
lar race for the republican nomi ma.
ton tor the office of auditor by 86
votes.
. A. B. Hazen has the nomination
for sheriff cinched with a lead of
173.
Ten precincts are yet to be heard
from and some of the returns now
in are not complete, and the total
number of votes yet to berecorded
probably will not exceed 200, and
while this may change the results
as they now stand, the strength of
the different candidates in the
missing precincts is thought to be
so evenly divided that the ticket
will stand as it now reads.
The interest in the race for audi
tor has been kept at white heat.
Yesterday afternoon Hayner lead
with sixty votes. Kelliher then came
in and gave George 81 and Hayner
three, closing up the gap between
the leaders. Alsop got sixteen votes
and Wilman three.
Alsop has practically been elimi-
mated as he is now LII behind
George. Wilman yesterday admit
ted defeat.
Next came the ,Baudette and
Spooner votes which gave George
1875 to Hayner 81 and Alsop So,
sending George to the front. Ad-
ditional returns coming in from
Wabanica, Benville, Alaska and Nc
Dougald gave Hayner SIS, Alsop 20
and George nine.
In the contest for sheriff, Johnson
was disappointed in the vote at Kel-
liner. Spooner and Baudette receiv-
ing 172 to Hazen's 207, which
practically puts him out of the run
ming.
]. O. Harris, for register of
deeds, who was crowded in a few
precincts by l. B. Olson, polled
substantial majorities in Kellihet,
Spooner and Baudette and now
leads by $50 votes.
For county attorney Funkley
leads Campbell by 43S votes and
McKusick by 742, having more than
the combined votes of his two op-
ponents.

Long List of Misfortunes Causes Chas.
Fleishman of Tenstrike to
Ask Aid of State.
WANTS 4 LITTLE ONES CARED FOR
Trouble Begins When Disappointed
Lover Murders Young Daughter
and Commits Suicide.

Charles Fleishman of the town Of
Port Hope, near Tenstrike, who has
applied to Judge of Probate Clark to
send his four minor children to the
state school at Owatonna, is without
doubt the most unlucky man in the
state of Minnesota.
Mr.. Fleishman is a prominent
farmer, highly respected, was mem
Der of the recent grand jury and
despite the unpleasant and tragic
events which have interrupted his
domestic happiness, has won a fair
degree of success in the financial
world.
Hard Luck and Plenty of it.
Here are some of the things he
has had happen:
Two years ago his daughter re.
fused because of her youth to marry
a man who had become enamored
of her, and the lover shot and killed
both the girl and himself.
Another daughter. after a long
illness. was left in a mentally I'm.
sound condition.
Last week Lawrence Smith of
Tenstrike was arrested and is now
in the Beltrami county Jail, await
ing trial, having pleaded not guilty
before Judge Stanton to the charge
that he is the father of the weak
minded girls unborn child. .
Returns to Find Wife Gone.
On top Of all this, when Mr..
Fleihsman returned !: to Tenstrike,
after having assisted to secure the
arrest of Smith, he found, he says,
that his wife had stripped his home
of the furniture and had deserted
him.
It is because of the alleged action
on the part of his wife that he
appeals to the state to take care of
the four small chilnren which he has
under his care and who, he admits,
can not be given the attention which
they should have.
Judge Clark probably will commit
the children tomorrow, when a
hearing of the case will take place.

Akerberg Starts New Suit Against
Druggist Whom He Charge.
With Fatal Error
SENATOR PETERSON in CASE
Urges Award of $4,000 for Loss Of
Life, Said to Have Been
Caused By Poison.

F. A. Akerberg has renewed his
effort to collect $4,000 damages from
F. A. Mayo, the former druggist,
whom Akerberg charges with having
caused the death of his son, alleging
that one of Mayo's clerks filled a
prescription with strychnine instead
of ingredients ordered. by the physi.
clan. :
This is the first case to come up
for trial at the fall term of the court
which opened here today, -.
Senator Peterson of Moorhead ap-
pears as one of the attorneys for
Akerberg, and he demands the stat.
utory limit for loss of human life.
The case has been in the hands OF
Roe & McKusick.
It is alleged that on Sept. 16,
1907 Akerberg sent his son to the
Mayo store to have the prescription
filled, which had been written by
DR.. Marcum. The boy took home
the powder given him and it was
administered to an older brother
who died soon after he had swal
lowed the preparation.
The young mans stomach was
sent to the state chemist for analy
sis and it is presumed that traces
of strychnine were found. The
case has once been tried, when the
effort to collect failed. !.
E. E. Mcdonald defends Mayo
A jury has been completed ant
the case probably will be finished
some time tomorrow.
Court formally convened at 10 a
m. The call of the petit jury wa:
read and several cases were set fol
trial, a number dismissed and others
were put over until next term.

Sheriff Permits Them to Visit Bemidii
Before Being Taken to St.
Paul Federal Judge.
CASE BECOMES MORE INTRICATE
Subpoena Served Compelling Agent
Appearance Here, But He Says
He Must Go to Michigan.

N. ]. Sero and James Davis,
special government agents who have
been in jail at Walker the past week
as the result of conviction on a
charge of assault, were brought tc
Bemidji yesterday afternoon by
Deputy Sheriff McCabe of Cass
county.
United States District Attorney
Oakley of Duluth, has defended
the men on the. charges brought
againstthem by A. A. Oliver, editor
of the Cass County Pioneer, who
claimed he was assaulted after he
had been held up by the agents at
Bena who we're in search of con-
traband liquor. MIR. Oakley's
latest move is to bring the two
agents before the federal court in
St. Paul where the right of the
states jurisdiction over govern.
ment agents will be argued.
Brought Here as Prisoners.
The trip CT Sero and Davis to
Bemidji yesterday afternoon was
a courtesy extended them tor the
purpose of permitting them to at
tend to personal business in Be-
midi, which is their headquarters
for work in this territory.
Still another tangle, however, was
added to the already badly twisted
case, by Mr. Sero's visit. While in
the lobby of the Markham hotel he
was approached by Deputy Sheriff
Rutledge who served as ubpoena,
compelling him to be in Bemidji
Sept. 20 as a witness in the case of
A. F. Gauvereau, accused of having
sold liquor to a person of Indian
blood.
Sero is Optimistic.
Mr.. Sero said that his presence at
that time was out of the question as
he has important cases in Michigan
which demand his attention as soon
as he can get there.
Mr.. Sero said:
Il do not look for any serious
complications. | think things will
be smoothed out all right"
More Complications in Sight.
The fact remains that if the agents
lose in their efforts to get their case
into the federal courts they must
either pay their 500 fine or serve
sixty days in Jail. Also if Mr.. Sero
isn't here as wi ness on the date
specified he will be b rought back to
Minnesota on a bench warrant.
Sero and Davis were taken to St.
Paul last night. Deputy Sheriff Nc
Cabe took them as far as Walker
where he was relieved of his char ges
by Sheriff DeLury.
