POLITICS WARM up; ONE
CANDIDATE ANNOUNCED
Henry c. Alsop, Formerly Deputy
Clerk of Court, Wants Beltrami
County Authorship.

With the announcement of the
call for the county and state repub-
lican conventions being issued,
politics are warming up in Beltrami
county aud the politicians and
near-politicians" are beginning to
put their fingers into the pot.
The first announcements of a candi-
date for a Beltrami county office
comes Henry w. Alsop, who for
years has assisted Clerk of Court
Fred w. Rhoda as deputy during
terms of the district court in Bel
trami county. In a recent letter
to the Pioneer Mr.. Alsop, who lives
east of Blackjack, says, Il have
decided to run for the office of
county auditor this fall"
While no announcement has been
made, it is understood that the
present county auditor, R. C. Hay
ner. will be candidate for the re-
election next fall. There is also
some talk of former auditor John H.
Whitman again placing his name on
the ballot for the republican nomina-
ton. ~-E
No other candidates for county
Offices have announced themselves
up to the present time. The other
announcements are expected in the
near future, this being especially
true at the time of the calling of the
state convention. The republican
county convention will be held at
the court house in Bemidji, June II,
and the state convention at St. Paul
few days later, June Fl.

"D|DN'T KNOW IT WAS
LOADED" BROTHER SHOT
Farmers Boy Shot While Turning a
Darrell Churn by Little Brother
Not Fatal. 1:....

Crookston, May 20.-While turn
ing a barrel churn at the farm home
of his parents near Angus yesterday,
Oliver Goodwin, the 11-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Goodwin, was
shot in the side, rife bullet inhict-
ing an ugly wound which, however,
will not prove fatal. divers younger
brother was playing near him with a
rifle which was not supposed to be
loaded, butswas suddenly discharged.
Fhe bullet struck his side and was
turned from its course by a rib.
Had it entered a couple of inches
lower, or between two of his ribs,
the bullet would have pierced his
stomach or intestines and would
probably have resulted fatally.
An amusing incident in connection
with the serious affair was the
remark of divers little brother,
who when chlded for having played
with rifle remarked, well, Oliver
is too little to be churning anyway"
which is an argument that will
appeal to, many little divers now
that the fishing season is on in
full swing.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF

Board Approves It.-General State

Stone Fence to Be Removed.

A little game of baseball, with
juggling on the side, was INDUCED
in by the board of county commits
sioners yesterday. when they lowered
the county saloon license, which they
raised to $1,000 since January l.,
back to $500 again. Commissioner
Schroeder, who was particularly
active in making the former raise,
was absent, and the other members
by vote of three to one enjoyed a
little sport with his pet idea. Com

and Fellows voted in favor of the
proposition, and Myhre against it.
What Will the board do to the
license at the next meeting? This
little game of What goes up. must
come down" is interesting, to say
the least, and we are gravely pom
dering over the problem of how
many licenses will be granted during

of the board.
The financial statement of Bel
trami county for the year 1909 has
at last been completed, and was
approved by the board of county
commissioners, before their ad-
journment yesterday. Several new
roads were ordered by the county
fathers" and a large number of
bills were allowed. School District
No. II was granted the use of the
public exa; liner to look over their
books.
The financial statement, of which
a general statement is given below,

of the financial condition of this

this week by County Auditor Hayner,
the official minutes of each meeting

Gives Statement to Jury Of What State
Expects to Prove in Dahl Murder
Trial.
SAYS PAUL TELLS NEW STORY
TO OTHER PRISONERS IN JAIL
Prosecution Springs Surprise in Secur-
ing Admission Of Court Reporters
Testimony. .-.-.

Aitkin, May 2O.-The Fourier
trial assumed sensational features
this afternoon when Eugene Caldwell
was put on the stand by the pros
ecution. Caldwell testified to having
seen signs of life about the Dahl
cabin on April 6, 1904 and that the
cabin was deserted after April 8,
1904. He told of the finding of the
body of N. 0. Dahl and vigorously
denied that he found the body one
hour after John Anderson had told
him the reward for the. recovery of
tho body of Dahl had been raised
from 5000 to $500.
He was given a grilling cross
examination and no doubt the de-
tense intends to impesch part of
Caldweli's testimony. Fourier
exhibited great nerve and abso-
lutte unconcern when the skull and
cap of N. O. Dahl were offered in
evidence, gazing at the gruesome
exhibits unflnchingly.
Mr.. Scrutchins opposed the offer
ing of Mr.. McKusick's evidence as
to the finding of the body and the
nature of the bullet wounds which
caused his death. Judge Stanton
ruled that the evidence was admiss-
able as circumstances surrounding
the case were so closely allied as to
admit this testimony.
Aitkin, May 2O.-Realizing that
the result of the present trial
against Paul Fourier, charged
with the murder of Aagot Dahl,
will either place Fourier before
Judge Stanton for sentence to be
hanged. or imprisoned for life, or
will give the little Frenchman his
permanent liberty. Attorney Chester
McKusick, for the state, and c. w.
Scrutchin, for Fourier, are making
the fight of their lives to win
favorable verdict, and each is leaving
nothing undone that can possibly
