.BEMIDJI TO CELEBRATE

= o. s-t.E
Bemidji is to celebrate the Fourth
of July.
This was decided at a public meet.
ing at the city hall last night, called
by Thomas J. Burke, spresident Of the
Commercial club. ~
Frank S. Lycan was named mem
Der of the committee on arrange.
ments and other members are Mayor
John Parker and Thomas McCann
Edwin Geralds and Fred Brinkman
were designated as the committee
which is to solicit the business men
of the town for Unnecessary funds
for carrying out the celebration.
= "A meeting of these committees will
be held at the Commercial club with
in the next few days to decide upon
specific plans for the. day.
It. has been suggested that Be-
midji follow along the lines adopted
in St. Paul and Minneapolis where a
day of harmless sports is arranged
for the children who are given a safe
and sane but at the same time happy
day, rather than the old firecracker,
dynamite exploding, finger SCATTERING,
lockjaw producing days.
There was but one opinion express
ed at the gathering last evening and
that was that Bemidji must cele-
brate. The only topic for argument
was the best manner in which to OBJ
serve the day.

Mr.. LaQua. 1t is said on good au-
thority that Mr.. LaQua did not know
DR.. Dumas and that he never had

Grounds Wires With Ropes.

This man grounded the wires by
throwing rope over them and drag
ging them to the ground. When
there was shooting and robbers were
known to have been hurt, this third
man released the wires and attempted
to get into touch with Bemidji and
other points to warn Dumas and con-
federates, say the detectives, but the
officers had charge of the wires and
nothing could get through.
Firemen at Cass Lake have told
detectives that when the Dumas
residence was burned at Cass Lake
there was but little furniture of real
value in -thes place; that some win
ter .overcoats- and Uther+~wear1ug
apparel had been removed and was
in the doctors Office, A Cass Lake
man who called up DR.. Dumas i'm
mediately alter the fire found the
doctor responding suspiciously
prompt at the other end as if he had
been waiting news of the incendiary
fire which the detectives claim he
was Gin on.
Bean in Bad Shape.
DR.. Marcum, who is in charge of
Bean, says that Bean will not be in
shape physically to attend hearing
for a week or ten days. Some of the
shot were removed from his legs,
affording relief, but no more will be
taken out at present.
Beams statement to the officers is
not given out, and there is some
| doubt that he has yet made a "clean
breast" of what he knows. How
ever, detectives assert Bean will
furnish them valuable and undisput-
| able evidence corroborating in every
detail the evidence furnished by the
parties to the plot who were sup.
posed to be yeggmen but who were
really officers.

CHASE FOR DAVIS CONTINUES
Every Railroad Guarded and Even
Deserted Cabins in Woods Are
Being Investigated.

Search by Deputy Sheriff Helmer
and Pinkerton detectives last night
and early this morning of points
where it was thought Mike Davis,
the expert safe cracker, wounded in
the fight at Puposky Saturday morn
ing, might be in hiding and protect
ed by friends, was unsuccessful and
no trace of the bandit was found.
The officers have every railroad in
this vicinity watched closely so that
Davis could not possibly get from un-
der cover of any cabin in the woods
to railroad and finally get out of the
country.
Davis Believed Far Ffom Free.
Information from other sources is
that Davis is believed to have gotten
to st. Paul and is now being protect
ed by friends who have been in with
the gang of which Davis is men,
Der for several years.
Officers here assert that they have
nothing new relative to Davis, but
smile in a confident manner when it
is limited that he has made a clean
getaway or that it was not Davis
who was at Puposky, but Pinker-
ton detective who played the part of
Davis, who is supposed to have been
put on the job by LeClare who could
not be held : +fEs2. =; -
Detectives May Have Grabbed Letter.
Whether LeClare himself ever got
the letter which Dumas is said to
have written him from Cass Lake is
a question unanswered by the detec-
tives, the intimation being that it
was intercepted by detectives. Fur
Their information along this line is
unobtainable from those in charge,
BUTT is believed that the whereabouts
of the missing yegg will be given out
before the day closes.
The identity of the third man who
is said to have driven Davis and Bean
to Puposky is said to have been es-
tablished, being a Bemidji man, but
the officers refuse to give out his
name.
Third Man Near Arrest. -
1t is intimated that this man will
be placed under arrest within twenty.
four hours. Inside information as to
the work this third robber did the
night of the fight at Puposky is
that the robbers and Mr.. Dumas had
figured the job would be so easy that
they put the third man on taking
care of the wires and seeing that
they were rendered useless out o.
PupOsky instead of acting as look
out and safeguarding the work O.

miles to Turtle River, a small village

Believes if One Saloon is Permitted
in Fourth Ward Others Should
Be Allowed.
ORDINANCES PASSES, 5 TO 8
President Johnson Uroes Restriction
And His Views Are Sustained
By Test Vote.

There was heated discussion at
last evenings meeting Of the city
council when the third and last
reading of the ordinance, prohibiting
the issuing of liquor licenses outside
oft he fourth ward, came up for con-
sideration.
at seems to me-" said Alderman
Brown, that this ordinance should
be killed. The Duluth Brewing COM
pany who owns the building located
just across the street, have rented it
for saloon purposes every since Be-
midi was little village, and l can
truthfully say that it has always
been operated in satisfactory man
ner. I don't believe that any alder
man would vote to allow a saloon in
any other part of the town outside
of the fourth ward, outside of this
one building but do not favor this
ordinance"
Mayor Expresses Views.
Alderman Browns talk brought
Mayor Parker to his feet in hurry,
and he said:
eff this council would allow a
saloon to go in the building across
the street and would not allow an
other man to put in a saloon in any
other section Of the city it would be
discriminating, and that is thing
that this council can not be accused
of ever doing. There is no question
but what there should be a saloon
limit in this city. When this ordin-
ance first came up every one of the
alderman were in favor of it, and
gentlemen it looks to me as though
the Duluth Brewing company had
been getting somebody. Lets put
this thing to vote and see what
ones are against it,
The vote resulted as follows:
NO-Brown, Klein and Smart
Yes-Crippen, Roe, Moberg, Bis
lar and Johnson
Pool to Continue Sunday.
A motion was made by Alderman
Brown, which was seconded, to the
effect that the ordinance be consid-
cred at the next meeting, and this
will be done.
The pool and billiard hall closing
ordinance was read for the second
time. 1t was amended to read as
follows:
"That all pool and billiard halls,
with the exception of those operated
by a private club or association, be
closed at II p. m. every day in the
week." This means that they are
to be open Sundays.
The amendment was favored upon
the recommendation of City Attorney
Russell, who said that he found
after an investigation that to close
the billiard hall Sundays would be a
hardship for the mill boys who work
nights and have no other means of
recreation.
The resolution favoring the turn
ing over of the cemetery to the
Cemetery Association recently Or
ganized was passed.
