POSTMASTER ERICKSON PLEASED

Bemidji was approved as the
proper place for the government
to test out this new system at
meeting OF the board of trustees
Saturday and Postmaster Erickson
will be officially notified within
the next few days.
The selection of Bemidji as
postal savings Office speaks for it.

pride in having been selected as

ally, but I do feel that our boys
have won an honor that is a credit
to Bemidji and to Minnesota"
The only other officers announced
for the Northwest are those at Dead
wood, S. D., and Wahpeton, N. D.
The list includes but one office for
each state and territory.
1t is expected that the Bemidji
savings department, together with
the other ~, will begin operation by
the first of the year.
1t is probable that the plans de-
vised for the new postal savings
system will be given at least a
months trial before others are
added to the list.
Owing to the smallness of the
appropriation for this work, it has
been impossible to establish the
savings banks during the first year
in the large city post Offices. Com
munities were chosen in which the
conditions were exceptionally
favorable.

Has Won Popular Approval.

Judge c. w. Stanton, non partisan
candidate tor judge of this district,
visited Park Rapids the past week
and called on a number of his friends
here. The Judge has number of
good supporters among the voters of
this locality and is assured of a good
vote here. His past record as judge
has been creditable and has won
popular approval and The Enterprise
sees no reason why voters of the dis
trict regardless of party utilization
should not give Judge Stanton their

happy little wrestling match be-

armory opera house here Satur-

ton and two of his men interfered
and diseprsed the meeting.
Sailor Jack had been billed to meet
Richard Hodge, the Scottish cham
pion. The men went to the mat
and for forty minutes it was an even
struggle, neither man securing fall.
Sailor Jacks muscle, however began
to tell and suddenly Hodge dropped
to the MAJ, blood flowing from his
mouth. He claimed blood vessel
in his throat had been broken. He
gave up the contest and was taken
from the hall.
Sailor Jack was still full of fight
ami offered to bet 500 he could
throw any three men in town with
in an hours time. When he failed
to~start anything by this ,offer,~ he
agreed to take on Peter Ed "just
for fun" Ed accepted the chal-
lenge and went to it. The men

showing up we'll, when after
twenty minutes William Begsley
permitted his enthusiasm to get the
better of him and he reached over
and grabbed Sailor Jacks tights.
There was a ripping of cloth and a
later Sailor Jack came up
looking like a Salome dancer,
only more so.
Sailor Jack was peeved at Mr..
Begsley's conduct and sent couple
of blows in the direction of that
gentleman's anatomy and although
they fell short, they succeeded in
setting the crowd wild and for few
minutes it looked as if there was to
be a good old fashioned free for all
fight.
1t was at this point that Chief
Harrington decided he would do
little wrestling himself, and he won
the only real victory of the evening
by putting the crowd down and out.

Subject of Repeated Eulosies.

ouDJeCt OI NePeateu EuIOSleS.
In view of the lively interest that
is being taken all through northern
Minnesota in the candidacy of Judge
Stanton for reelection to the district
bench, it is particularly interesting
to note what John Lind says about a
non-partisan judiciary. All through
the state there is an ever-recurrent
mention of the desirability of keep
ing Associate Justice O'Brien on the
bench, and in the north Judge Stau-
toms services are the subject of re-
peated eulogies.-Duluth Herald.

Endorsed By Nearly Every Member Of
Bar Of This District as Candidate
For District Judge.
NEWSPAPERS ALSO SUPPORT HIM
Clippings Show Widespread Popularity
of Man Who Has Been Prominent
. In State Politics.

f. Never before in the history of
Minnesota, and probably not in any
other state, has there been such a
demonstration in behalf of politi-
cal candidate as has greeted the fiji.
ing of Judge c. w. Stanton, as a
nonpartizan candidate to succeed
himself as a member of the district
court.
Not only has he wiped out party
lines but he has achieved the re.
markable distinction of receiving
the personal endorsement of every
attorney in this judicial district
composed of eight couEties-with
the exception of three men, eighty
one lawyers being included in the
list.
All But Eight are Republicans.
It is also significant that, while
Judge Stanton has been prominently
mentioned as a democratic candidate
for governor, with the exception Of
eight names, all the signers of this
endorsement are republicans. The
Itasca county list is headed by c. c.
Mccarthy, the former republican
state senator from Grand Rapids.
There is still another unusual
feature in connection with Judge
Stanton's campaign, and that is the
endorsement which be is receiving
from the newspapers. ~.

Indian affairs.
IT was testified that ]. F. McMur-
ray, holder of the 10 per cent fee con-
tracts for the sale of 100000 900 worth
of Indian lands, had many contracts
with the Indians. At the time a $780,
600 fee was paid to his firm for prose-
cutting the citizenship case, he also
had, it was asserted, two contracts
with the Chickasaws which paid him
$1,000 a year each and two contracts
with the Cherokees which paid him
IS. 900 each besides expense allowance.
Douglas H. Johnson, governor of the
Chickasaw tribe, was on the stand most
of the day and asked why it was so
many special attorneys were employed
by the Indians when they already had
attorneys on regular salaries. He said
the Indians had become convinced that
the employment of attorneys on con-
tingent fees was the only method of
securing results.
