MURDER AT WALKER.
Man Kills Another, Takes to the
Woods, Found by Posse.

Walker-Edward Lucia, steam
boat pilot on Leech lake, shot
and killed James Boardwell, en-
gineer at the Leech Lake Lumber
company's new saw mill, with a 33
rife, the shot taking effect in Board
wells forehead, death being instan-
taneous.
Lucia's claim was that Boardwell
and his stepson, Earl Hover, were
making white slave out of his L.
year-old daughter.
Arriving at the tent where Board
well and the boy were together with
Mrs. Boardwell, Lucia opened up on
the man, firing three shots and then
took to the woods back of the prem
Uses.
The village was at once aroused
and men with guns at once organized
themselves as a posse and commenced
a search of the woods for Lucia who
was found after half an hour by Rob-
ert Block, of ST. Paul.
The shooting was evidently premedi-
tated, as Lucia went to the place with
a gun, and woman heard him re-
mark that he was going to shoot both
the man and the stepson.
Lucia's daughter had been staying
at the Boardwell home for some time
and her father had had words with
Boardwell on prior occasions regard
ing the girl staying there. The girl
is exceedingly good looking and has
a tinge of Indian blood in her veins,
her mother being a half breed.

MOORHEAD WANTS TO STAY WET
Argument Is That Revenue from AZ
Saloons is Principal Income.

J. Washington, d. G. = In response to
a protest from a delegation of Mime
sotans against the extension of the
prohibition regulations of the bureau of
Indian affairs to Moorhead, which is
located on ceded Indian lands, Act
ing Secretary of the Interior Pierce
has taken under advisement the ques-
ton whether the departments recent
action bringing the city within the
prohibited territory shall be rescinded
or modified.
TIE major of Moorhead, former Rep
resentative Comstock and represent
ative of the Brewers association of
Minnesota, asked the acting secretary
to revoke the anti-liquor order in so
far as it relates to Moorhead. The in
structions forbid the introduction of
intoxicating liquors in the territory
adjacent to the White Earth and Leech
Lake reservations in Minnesota in or
der to protect the Indians.
There are AZ saloons in Moorhead
and the delegation informed Mr.. Pierce
that the revenue from their licenses
was one of the principal sources of in
come of the city. The department
promised to take the views of the dele
cation under consideration.

Heads of Navy Are Annoyed By Women

minated in the court-martial of two
officers, illustrates the prominent part
women play in navy circles.
Almost everybody knows of the
mutual i'll feeling existing between
the navy women and the department
Every once in while something hap
pens to widen this breach. Only a
few days ago Ensign Charles NJ Aus
tin, son of Representative Richard
w. Austin of Tennessee, was deprived
of an especially desirable berth by the
navy department merely because he
got married. He had been detached
from the dispatch boat Dolphin at the
Washington navy yard and ordered
to Japan for duty as a student at
tache at the American embassy at
Tokyo for the purpose of studying the
Japanese language. On the way to
his new post of duty he stopped at his
former home in Tennessee and was
married to a girl he had known for
many years.
This was too much for the unro-
mantle departmental authorities, who
suddenly decided that a married en-
sign would not make as good a stu
dent Of the Japanese language as a
bachelor. Accordingly his orders,
were revoked and instead of spending
his honeymoon in Tokyo he will have
less interesting service at the naval
training station on the Pacific coast.
He will, however, have his wife.

Rochester.-Sidney A. Anderson,

race for the Republican nomination

or the executive committee of the
FIRST District Progressive league that
| met In conference upon the call OF
the chairman, Mr.. Fraser Seven
| counties in the First district were rep
resented, about twenty-five being gath
cred to discuss the situation.
various plans for conducting a hot
campaign that would carry with it the
principles of the progressive element
OF the Republican party were dis
cussed. 1t was voted unanimously to
ask Mr. Anderson to be the candidate
and that gentleman practically gave
his consent. Mr.. Anderson addressed
the meeting, and stated that he would
not conduct campaign on personal
lines but along the lines of the pro-
gressive principles of the party. His
speech was well received, and all pres
ent at the meeting voiced the opinion
that they had found the Moses they
have long been seeking.
A committee was appointed on reso-
| buttons and another one to draft a
platform for the campaign. The meet
ing was an enthusiastic one and har-
mony prevailed throughout, the one
| object being to get suitable candi-
date and pave the way for a clean
campaign.
Among those present were: Senator
H. A. Rovrud and O. N. Levang, of
Lanesboro; A. c. ABBY, of Rock Dell;
w. c. Mork, T. H. Kelly, H. F. Luers
and E. K. Whiting, of Owatonna,

One of the members present at the
meeting stated last night that it was
the best meeting of it's kind ever held,
and that definite results had been &C

was ripe for action, and if a campaign
was conducted along the lines advo-
Gated by the meeting, there Nas no
question of it's success.
Another in an interview stated that
it was hard to get the feeling of the
public pulse, but by rubbing elbows
with the voters it was evident that
there was much dissatisfaction among
the voters in the First district.

dent the state of Minnesota was
anxious. to receive him. He was as
sured that the people of this section
would give him rousing reception.
President is Pleased.
The president assured the commit
tee he was more than pleased with
the receptions that had been given
him in the past in the Twin Cities.
He also said he would be pleased to
accept this invitation if possible, but
would be compelled to withhold his
acceptance for two or three days.
The members of the committee left
the summer home of the president
feeling very confident that an accept
ance would be forthcoming.
Matters of program were taken up
with President Baker and Captain
White and amicable arrangements
were reached.
There is general feeling that poll
tics will be barred from the congress.
The Minnesota people made the fact
clear that they wanted this done and
it was generally accepted that their
wishes should be respected.
