St. Paul MINI. Oct 8.-(Daily

special from Baudette says:
This town of 1000 persons, on
the Canadian Northern Railway in
Beltrami county and opposite Rainy
River, Ontario, was destroyed by
fire early last evening.
More than so persons are be.
lieved to have lost their lives.
The property loss cannot be esti-
mated at this time as the fire is still
burning, but will amount to many
thousands of dollars, and possibly a
million.
Hundreds of inhabitants were
rescued by train of box cars
which were rushed across the
FLYER from Rainy River to the Bel
trami county town.
Every building in Baudette is
said to have burned with the ex-
ception of the depot.
The resc,le train was composed
of box cars and the heat was Sc
intense that the train narrowly
escaped being consumed.

BOY SCOUTS IN WILD CHASE
Follow Rev. White for Three Miles By
Marshes and Dense Undergrowths

In three mile chase out into the
country which led them through
swamps and dense underground, IS
of the rs newly organized Boy Scouts
successfully trailed Rev. S. E. P.
White as fox in fox and hound
contest this morning.
The boys ranged in age from II
to IA years and keenly enjoyed their
novel trip, which was started from
the Presbyterian church. Rev.
White, equipped with bag of torn
paper, left fifteen minutes ahead of
the boys. The boys were released
from the church by Miss Anna Mills
and plunged out into the forest after
their quarry, which they followed by
the torn paper trail.
II gave them a good run," said
Rev. White, taking them by
marshes which tested their grit and
through hazel bushes so thick that I
wondered that they could make it.
Precautions were taken to prevent
the lads from becoming lost and the
event appears to have been a de-
lightfully successful outing.
In the near future we shall take
a run out into the woods and pre-.
pare our own dinner. Next week we
likely shall take another chase
something after the fashion of the
one today" -.

ALL INVITED TO HOSPITAL
Two Days Set Apart For Inspection of
Enlarged Building.

The new addition to the St. An
thony Hospital has been completed
and cordial invitation is extended to
the public to inspect the building next
Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons,
between the hours of 2 to 4 O'Clock.
The Sisters are especially DESTROYS
of creating interest among Bemidji
people.
Rooms have been furnished by the
Elks Lodge, the Modern Samaritans,
the Knights of Columbus, Rev.
Father O'Dwye1, Dan Rose, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. P. White and Miss Elizabeth
Reese of Shakopee, MINI. Several
other persons have furnished rooms
in the new addition but expressed
the wish that their names be with
held.
The St. Anthony hospital, as it
now stands, is perhaps the most COM
plete institution of it's kind in the
northern part of the state. The
building in the past has been taxed
to its capacity but the new addition
will house many more patients.
The Sisters extend their apprecia-
ton to those who have assisted in
the completion of this new building.

Fires have been burning in the
vicinity of Swift, Roosevelt and
Graceton for the past few days and
winds from the west have swept the
flames in this direction.
It was not until afternoon yester-
day that this village became alarmed
and then work of checking the
flames began by all the male men,
bers of the population and even the
women assisted in the work but the
fire had too great a start and could
not be checked.
The reports from the fire swept
district or even accurate details from
this village are almost impossible to
obtain because of the confusion and
because the wires are demoralized.

cuted on the charges growing out of
accusations of timber thefts made by
the lumber companies.
The attorney general assured him
that the only prosecution against
him would be for the shooting Of
Hortel on election day in Winter
and that even in that case he would
be represented by skilled attorneys
and given every chance to defend
himself in court.
To this proposition -Dietz replied
that he would accept if they would
guarantee he could 20 free without
furnishing a bail bond. This he was
refused and the peace emissaries left
the Dietz cabin and as they entered
the woods Dietz shouted at them:
I will defend my home until the
last and protect my family as long
as life and ammunition remain. Tell
your dirty dogs to do their worst"
AS soon as Sheriff Madden had
become convinced that Dletz would
not surrender peaceably, he issued
orders to his deputies to close in on
the cabin. In obeyance to this
order, so men armed with rifles sur
rounded the cabin this morning.
Dietz, from his cabin, saw the
men crouching behind trees and
when one of them exposed himself he
sent bullet whizzing toward the
deputy who lodged behind tree
and the long expected battle of
Cameron dam was on.
Brisk firing ensued and Dietz and
his son Leslie were seen to take up
their position in the port holes of the
cabin and they poured a steady rain
of bullets into the opposing deputies.
Dietz crept from the cabin behind
some logs for a more advantageous
position and here it was that a bull.
let from one of the deputies caught
him and it is believed seriously
wounded him although he still
crouches behind the log and fires
internationally. 1t is not thought
that Leslie was seriously wounded.
Mrs. Dietz. so far as could be as
certained, had not as yet participated
in the fight although she told the
emissaries yesterday that she would
aid her husband and stand by him
as long as she was able to pull trig-
ger.
Sheriff Madden declares he will
have Dietz in his possession before
the sun sinks, either dead or alive.
He has ordered reinforcements for
his men.

Now Develops That Agent Matulvs
Did not Receive Funds Contri-
buted By Saloonkeepers
MAYOR DUMAS ON WAY HOME
Pleased With Ballinger Order Which,
it is Believed, Will Relieve
Situation in Minnesota.

Now it develops that it wasn't
Agent Matulys at all who received
the money said to have been COL
lected by Cass Lake saloonkeepers,
who it was reported, had raised
fund which was to assure them of
"protection" from any interfer-
ence with their business by the
government.
There doesn't appear to be any
doubt but that Cass Lake SALOON
keepers did contribute to some
sort of a fund and turn the money
over to someone but from evidence
now available that someone ap.
parently was not Mr.. Matulys
AS result extremely interesting
developments are expected when Mr..
Matulys, who at present is in Be,
midi with his wife, having been re-
leased on his own recognizance, ap-
pears before Justice Ives at Cass
Lake on Oct. 26 for a preliminary
hearing on warrant sworn out by
Editor A. A. Oliver of Walker.
Word from Mayor Dumas at
Washington is to the effect that he
has started home. Mr.. Dumas took
the lead in the conference with
Secretary Ballinger which resulted in
the secretary revoking the Oct. Is
closing order.
Secretary Ballinger has addressed
a letter to the Commission of Indian
Affairs in which he serves notice
that the government has the power
absolutely to prohibit traffic in
liquor in what is known as the
Indian country and that such law
will be exercised if it is found that it
is being generally violated.
On it's face it would seem as if it
was the intention of the department
to enforce the treaty law but as
matter of fact he wishes to CO.
operate with county and city officials
to adopt measures that will prevent
liquor finding its way into the hands
of Indians. Mayor Dumas said:
I'VE are delighted with the action
taken by Secretary Ballinger and we
believe that the understanding now
arrived at will mean much for north
ern Minnesota"
Other members of the Minnesota
delegation expressed the opinion
that the new policy would be we'll
received in the territory affected.
Secretary Ballinger points out that,
owing to scarcity of funds, it will be
impossible for the government ade-
quately to police the region over
which by treaty stipulations it holds
that it has the right to enforce what
would amount to absolute prohibition
both for whites as we'll as for Indians.
For that reason, the announce
ment is made that more attention
will be paid to those sections where
violations of the law have been most
frequent. Congress will be asked
for larger appropriation to suppress
the liquor traffic among the Indians.

One of Or. Hale's Jokes.

When he was quite a young man the
late DIR. Edward Everett Hale played a
practical joke on some girls who were
members of party with whom he was
summering on the Massac husetts coast
All these girls were reading the same
exciting novel, and one day at dinner
1t was a leading topic. Knowing that
none of them had finished 1t, Hale. I'M
known to them, carried it away with
him the next morning when he went
to the city. On the train he wrote an
absurd conclusion to the novel, laying
the final scene at the summer resort.
Carrying this bogus conclusion to a
publisher, friend of his, he had 1t
put In type, and then, carefully remov-
ing the bona fide conclusion, he pasted
In his own. On his return he placed
the book on the piazza and waited.

face as she read that last chapter was,

According to Arab folklore, one day
Allah called the south wind to him,
condensed it, took a handful, blew
upon it the breath of life and thus Gre
ated a horse. But the steed at once
began to find fault. His neck, he COM
planned. was too short to reach the
grass, his back had nothing to steady
they would surely sink into the sand.
Instead of reproving his ingratitude
in words Allah then created the camel
as an object lesson of reproach.
The horse shuddered at the sight of
what he wanted to become. and this
is the reason that every horse starts
when first meeting his caricature.

he persevered until he learned the

than done. In fash he swelled up
