hAYNER BURSTS INTO PRINT
Tells Why He Ha. Made Fight For
County Auditor.

County Auditor r. c. Hayner
submits the following open letter as
a political advertisement.
Now that the race is practically
run and we await the decision I wish
to take this opportunity of thanking
the voters of Beltrami county who
have so kindly given me their sup.
port and to say to those who opposed
me that I have nothing but the
kiudest of feeling. While I have
deemed it advisable to set forth GER
tain reasons, in circulars and letters
why I thought that I should have
the support of the taxpayers T did
it with the purest of motives, as
firmly believe that the statements
are true.
Il have been accused of being an
Office seeker and perhaps to the voters
and citizens I have seemed over zeal !
Gus and such may be the fact. I will
admit that I have fought to the last
ditch not particularly because have
been blinded by the glare of pub
lie Office or that wish TO become a
leech to Beltrami county.
But perhaps the greatest incen-
tive that induced me to keep up the
fight, to the very last, is the fact of
the many friends that myself and
family have made since I have NOV
ed to Bemidji and the hope that 1
might give my children the advant-
ages of Bemidji's public schools.
But if I have erred I hope my
friends will overlook my errors, and
that, be the outcome what it may,
that those who have opposed me will
forget the Sopposition, as soon as
their ballots are cast, and will me ct
me as friend and citizen of Bel
trami county.
And to my opponents in the race
for Auditor, while we may differ in
I trust that we may become
friends and as we meet in the daily
walks of life we may greet one an
other with hearty handshake.
Yours very truly
R. C.. Hayner."

AL j.. SMITH DEAD;
name ON BALLOTS

AL. J Smith, attorney of Hennepin
county for six years, and Republican
candidate for reelection, died yester-
day at his residence in Minneapolis.
He had been an invalid for the last
fifteen years, although he did not
allow his illness to interfere with his
work.
Mr.. Smiths death creates an I'm!
usual political situation in Henpepin
county. Ballots bearing his name
as the candidate of the Republican
party have been printed. The state
law provides that the Henne-
pin county Republican committee
shall fill the vacancy on the ticket,
but the election comes next Tue sd ay
The committe will undoubtedly
choose a candidate, but the name of
the Republican candidate must be
placed on the ballot by "stickers."

The fact that his life has been

Warden S. c. Bailey Secures Convic-
lion Of Men Trapping and Shooting
Out of Season.
MANY DEER IN BELTRAMI COUNTY
Bemidji official Says Forest Fire. and
Rapid Natural Increase Insures
Splendid Shooting.

-Four arrests and a conviction in
each case in "a hours time is the
record set by S. c. Bailey of this
city. Here is the list:
Hanks Carl, Grant Valley, charg.
ed with illegal trapping, pleaded
guilty. Fined $40 and costs.
John Farman, attempting to kill a
dear near Nebish, guilty. Fined $40
and costs.
Dell Archellis, arrested in Bemid il

deer near Nebish, guilty. Fined
SIS and costs.
The four men were arraigned be-
fore Judge Bailey and in each in
stance, as soon as the fines were i'm
posed, they were paid and the men
were given their liberty.
'In several instances, persons
caught illegally trapping give the
excuse that they thought the sea.
son had opened. The season does
not open until Nov. IS, after
which date muskrats and mink
can be caught. There is no open
season on beaver"
This is the warning issued by
Game Warden Bailey who admits
that, generally speaking, the
violation of the game laws have
not been numerous in Belrami
comfy.
4'There is going to be better
deer hunting this year than for
several seasons past" said Mr..
Bailey, Gas the forest fires have
caused these animals to seek less
projected places and anyhow
there are more deer this year than
at any time during the past de-
cade.
"Deer are plentiful in the vici-
nifty of Nebish, Whitefsh Lake
and Gull River"

Martin coble4 Admits Having Obtained
Liquor Here For Hi. Red Skin
= Employer, Henry Bonga.
SENTENCED BY JUDGE WRIGHT
Court Expresses Regret But Say. Law
Must Be Followed and Illegal
Traffic Stopped.

Martin Cobler so years old and 4
widower with three small children,
who was arrested yesterday, on the
charge Of having furnished liquor to
a person of Indian blood, pleaded
guilty in district court before Judge
Wright and was sentenced to the
penitentiary for six months.
En- passing sentence, Judge Wright
said:
Because of your domestic mis-
fortune and because you are the
father of children who look to you
for support, i regret keenly being
compelled to pass sentence upon you,
but you have admitted crime
which, the legislature has seen fit to .
punish by imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary and 1 have no Jurisdiction
but to obey the mandates of the law.
It is true that 1 could suspend the
sentence but that would be under
ost4saausual circumstances. Boot
logging and the illicit sale of liquor
have caused enough trouble in north
ern, Minnesota and it can only be
stopped; by = strict enforcement of
the law. L therefore. sentence you
to six mouths at hard labor ip the
Minnesota state prison at Still
water. s. -,
Cobler was first arraigned before
Municipal Judge Penderqast. He
was boand over to await the action.
Of the; grand jury and was locked
up in the county hik He said he
wished to plead guilty and was taken
before, Judge Wright. In court he
stated that his home had been near,
Little Falls, where his children are
being cared for by his,sister. He
secured work from. John Bonga, a
full blood Chippewa Indian, on a
farm near Mallard. He came to Be-
midi with Bonga, purchased a quart
of whiskey and turned it over to
bis Indian employer. Bonga became
intoxicated and when arrested said
he obtained his liquor. from Cobler.
Cobler's arrest quickly followed.
Cobler's arrest is but one of a
series of incidents Indicating that
the government crusade against the
sale of liquor to Indians, is fast
reaching a crisis.
AS result of the. Cobler arrest
one Bemidji saloon is. likely to be
closed and the incident may have a
direct bearing on all the others. A
quantity of whisky in quart bottles
was confscated on Red Lake train
by Agent Sero and the owner, w.
L. Killing, arrested. He is in the
county Jail awaiting a hearing. He
claims to have obtained the liquor in
St. Paul and the case is being in
vestigatcd at that end. and prosecu-
ton of the St. Paul seller will be
made.

Fishkili Landing, New York.-Fif.
teen men, three of them Ameri.

plosicn of nitro-glycerine in tunnel
which Is to form part of the great
aqueduct which will carry water from
the Ashokan dam in the Catskills to

Five men were terribly mutilated.
but were SO near the mouth of the
tunnel that they were rescued alive.
The other men were found beneath
mass of rock and debris, literally
manned by the force of explosion
into mass.
The cause of the explosion has not
been ascertained, but it is believed
that one of the workmen carrying a
torch tripped and fell igniting fuse
and setting off series of charges of
nitro-glycerine.
AS the nitro-glycerine had been pur
posely set to shatter rock, it did not
damage the tunnels interior more than
the contractors had planned and af

reached.
Besides the three Americans, there
are among the victims Italians, Hun.

The explosion marks the first seri.

from the attorney generals Office or
the White House indicating that the
purpose Of the administration with ref

The statement was issued after the
president had talked with JAS ]. HILL,

information that prices were crumbling
in New York under the various reports
printed yesterday and this morning.
There were no further statements
from the White House except the fore

Hill. on leaving the White House.,
said he did not pretend to represent
or speak for the president in anything,
but was sure that the president would
not attack the corporations. If the
corporations were violating the laws of
the country, Hill said he supposed that
they would be brought to book.

Meat Is Unnecessary.

Washington. D. C.-By engaging
a corps of experts in household
economics and the preparation of
food products, to devise substitutes
for any article of food which may
be boycotted, because of high prices,
the Anti-Food Trust league took it's
first step in aiding the meat boycott.
While the organization disclaims
any relation, more than sympathet-
ic one, to the movement to abstain
from meat, its officers will soon be
sending broadcast through the dis
tricts, where the meat strike is on,
recipes and formulas for foods which
are claimed to be capable of offer
ing as much nutrition as beef.
This same plan will be applied to
the leagues campaign against any ar
ticle of food which may be decided to
be too .:igh priced.
