REV. M'kEE AIDS IN
BLOW AT =BALL|NlGER

Our state Baptist convention in
St. Paul had two subjects quite out
of the ordinary, both of which had
a special interest to Bemidji, said
Rev. H. Robinson Mckee, pastor of
the Bemidji Baptist church who has
returned from St. Paul. FL. ~.
We were shocked by the news of
the fire disaster in Beltrami and ad-
joining counties, and voluntary
offering of the delegates was taken
up and 500 was thus obtained for
the relief of the sufferers.
"Our convention also touched
on the Cass Lake saloon closing
matter in that resolution was.
adopted condeming the reported
action of Secretary Ballinger in
his decision to permit the saloons
to remain OPEN" ..--
This resolution in part Said:
Resolved, That we approve Of
courty option as temperance
measure and urge the support of all
men seeking public office who stand
for the proposition. AS represen-
tative of the $4,000 Baptists of Min
nesota we hereby approve of the
great work of the Indian department
in the suppression of the sale of
liquor to Indians in the Indian
territory of our state. We also note
with regret the recent order of Sec.
rotary Ballinger whereby he makes
possible the reopening of saloons in
this territory where now they are
closed, and do hereby express our
disapproval of the backward steps
taken, and urge that the treaty pro-
| visions to be lived up to. We also
direct the convention secretary to
forward copy of this resolution to
the Hon. R. A. Ballinger."
Rev. Mckee voted for the resolu-
ton. In fact it was adopted by
an unanimous vote and Mr.. Mckee
described the discussion as interest.

Bury Three Men, Last to be Found
Dead in Baudette-Spooner
District.
BAILEY AIDS IN SAVING TEACHER
Young Woman Miraculou.ly Escapes
Near ripple Work of Relief
Well in Hand.

H>~PoAIS liOu tue bduQetLe-s
Spooner fire district today show that
no more dead bodies since the dis
covery of Martin and Nels Klakeg
and John Alfveson in tangled cedar
jungle seven miles from Baudette,
have been found, and that the work
OF relief is going ahead so splendidly
that but little real suffering remains.
Twenty men of Company K from
Bemidji, under command of Lieu.
tenant John Hillary, were assign
ed the task of recovering the dead
bodies of the persons named above
and under their direction burial
was made. The work of recover
ing the bodies was extremely diff
cult, as the militiamen were oblig-
ed to chop their way through thick
underground.
With her feet blistered and
burned in a fierce hot fire raging
about her. Miss Margaret Donahue,
a teacher in district school near
ripple, well known in Bemidji, lay
for more than twenty-four hours in
a small sand pit until rescued by a
relief party.
Thomas Bailey, formerly sheriff of
Beltrami county, was one of the lead
ers of the rescue party which found
Miss. Donahue. The party was
headed by Captain Hatcher. Miss
Donahue was in a pitable plight,
both her feet being badly burned.
Gangrene had already started. In
addition to teaching school, she was
holding down a claim.
On reaching Baudette Miss Dona-
hue was taken to the emergency hos
pital and placed on a cot near where
three typhoid patients are being
treated.
William Ruin, sole survivor of the
unfortunate Ruin family has reached
Baudette, after a tramp of thirty
miles through the burnt country.
He saw no dead bodies.
Two more carloads of supplies
have arrived at Baudette, one of
cots and medical supplies consigned
to General Woods from St. Paul,
and one from the Sunshine Society
of Winnipeg.
Governor Eberhart has arrived in
St. Paul and in speaking of his
observations said:
| "A personal investigation of
conditions convinces me that while
the loss of life has been exaggerated
the loss OF property has been even
greater than at first supposed. The
restitution is very great, and at this
season of the year, relief measures
must be pushed rapidly to prevent
actual suffering. and it will have to
be of greater magnitude than the
general public realizes. The work
is now pretty well in hand, and we
hope to avert any serious suffering"
The work of raising funds in Be-
midi is going forward and at the
Northern National Bank about
5000 has been received. In Min
neapolis Mayor Haines has issued
a proclamation asking the pastors
of the churches to present the
needs OF the sufferers and to take
up a collection. This will also be
done in at least one Bemidji
church. The total fund is expect
ed to reach $3.50, 900.

"THERE'LL BE NO BATTLE" HOUPT
Wire From Washington D ec''areslnterior
Department Reiterates Permission
>- For Sale of Liquor.
Cass Lake saloons are still doing

business at the same old stand.
This, too, despite the fact this is
October IS, the day on which w.
E. Johnson, presumably supreme
in his right to enforce Indian
bureau affairs, set as the date on
which the places were to be doomed
and as late as yesterday declared
that his closing order as originally
issued must be obeyed.
The three Cass Lake saloons were
a bit dubious about unlocking their
doors this morning. Each of the
proprietors face charges of having
offered a bride and were not banker
ing after any more trouble.
As the sun brightend, however,
their nerve returned and at 10
o'clock all the places were open for
business. .s.-4..
1t was said over the long distance
telephone at that hour that the
places would proceed to do business,
relying on the assurances of Secre-
tary of the Interior Ballinger to de-
fend them.
Mayor Dumas is awaiting an an
swer to this message sent to Bal
linger:
Reported in newspapers that
Johnson will force closing of saloons.
Advise as to our status"
In St. Paul TODAY the Dispatch
received by wire an interview from
Ballinger in which he renewed
his assurances to. permit the
saloons to continue to do bust
ness, but his wording was not so
strong as previously. He has not,
so far as known, replied to Mayor
Dumas message. 1t is now be-
)ieved that there is to be a clash
of-authority between Johnson and
Ballinger and that if johnson at
tempts to execute his order that
he may be>removed from office.
1t was rumored in Cass Lake this
morning that Mr.. Johnson had left
St. Paul last evening and that he
would arrive in Cass Lake some time
this afternoon.
The telephone wire between Be-
midi and Cass Lake went out of
commission at noon and what may
have happened there since that time
is not known.
You can depend on it that there
will be no rioting" said Charles C.,

PLACING THE CLAM SPAWN
FairpOrt Hatchery Begins Actual
Work for Which 1t Is Designed.

The first experimental work at the
government clam hatchery at Fairport
was begun Tuesday when the first in
lection was made on the fish. Some
time has been spent in collecting fish
and these have now become accli-
mated to the ponds and all is in readi-
ness to proceed with the experiments.
The fish were infected with sthe gla-
chidia and seem to be doing we'll.
The glochidium is the young mussel
and the experiments are to determine
on which fish these glachidia will ma
ture the most rapidly. The young
mussel stays with the fish until it ma
lures and is then dropped into the
water to grow into the mussel as seen
when dug.
