top had been burned but little, and
the dismembered piece Of flesh had
undoubtedly been poked under the
log.

Declares Cartons Were On Good
Terms With "Old Man" But Ad-
mits Disappearance.
TWO THEORIES CONSIDERED
One is That Quarrel Ended in Muir.
der and That Confession Will
Soon Clear Mystery.

Now comes man who had a
vision of the murder of Peter O.
Neste-not Nesbit-and it was this
supernatural power which caused
persons to go to the identical spot
where the bones of the 72-year-old
Norwegian, for whose murder his
daughter and son-in-law, Lloyd
Carlton, are being held, were found.
The day prior to the finding of
the foot and the bones, Elmer Ersbo,
an aged friend of Nestle, told several
people in this vicinity that he had a
realistic dream in which Nestle had
appeared to him and told him Neste
had been killed and that the bones
would be found in brush pile a
short distance northwest of the
Nestle home.
The finding of the bones and the
foot at the exact point described in
the dream directions has increased
Ersbo's prior reputation of having
a strange foresight of matters, re-
vealed to him in dreams. No sus-
piciOn attaches to Ersbo resulting
from the dream, as Ersbo and Nestle
were close friends Of many years
standing. - -. -~P.-~ 3 r. =. u

PLANT is Indicated"

No portion of the vertebra, the
skull or the hip bones could be
found in the bones picked up, and q
careful search of every portion of
the premises failed to reveal any
thing further in the way of por-
lions of human body.
A visit to the homes of the neigh
bors revealed the fact that most of
the residents adjacent to the Neste
home feet that Nestle would have
liked Carlton better had he been
able to talk Norwegian, Nestle being
unable to converse freely in Eng
lish.,.. ......-.
Reports that Nestle had circulated
reports that there was poison in the
house and that he was fearful that
Carlton would give him poison were
denied by all the neighbors.

Two Theories of the Crime.

j: One theory of the crime is that
Nestle was ugly at times and has
been known to use an ak or gun in
his arguments; and that he probab-
ly got angry the day Of his disap.
pearance, armed himself with an ak
or the gun, and that Carlton killed
him, in self-defense; and that Mrs.
Nestle has knowledge of this and will
sooner of later break down and con-
fess. Others, and they are in the
majority, believe Mrs. Nestle knows
nothing of what happened to her
husband; and that he was killed,
cremated and the bones scattered in
the brush heap. @-.-. .-.n

Visit to Murder Farm.

A visit to the Nestle farm and q
searching investigation of every part
of the clearing, at the northeast end
of which was found the bones and
the foot, reveals a series of highly
interesting incidents.
The only occupant of the Neste
home is his widow, SO years old, who,
harrassed by fear and worried by
the arrest of her daughter is on the
verge of a mental and physical
breakdown.
Closely questioned, and often ask
ed to repeat many of her answers, so
as to make certain that her version
of the affair was correctly obtained,
Mrs. Nestle, through an interpreter,
told almost the same story as did
Lloyd Carlton, when arrested, with
his wife,

Mr.. Peterson, whose home is at
Puposky, was in Bemidji yesterday
He took his petition to Attorney
Graham, M. Torrance, a notary
public, where he swore to and signed
the document, and then sent it by
registere1 mail to Governor Eber-
hart at the state capital in st. Paul.
Briefly commenting upon his
action, Mr. Peterson said to The
Daily Pioneer:
Viggo Talks of Petition.
81 have known for long time that
Mr.. Hazen has not been properly
conducting the duties of his Of
flee, but until recently did not
feel that I had the proof to sub
stantiate my charges. I now am
confident that have in hand enough
facts to prove beyond any question
of doubt Mr.. Hazen's incompetent
and improper conduct and the facts
I cite in my petition to the govern
or are by no means all that I have,
and the investigation, if authorized
by the governor, as I feel sure it
must be-, will show that I am not
exaggerating.
No Personal Bitterness.
"One thing wish you would en-
phasize and that is that I have no
personal feelings in this matter and
am actuated by no bitterness or
malice towards Mr.. Hazen. I have
done this because I feel that, as
chairman Of the county board, it is
my duty and that If I did not do so
I should, myself, be placed in an en-
barrassing position

y Widow Tells Her Story.

Mrs. Neste asserts that on the day
her husband disappeared, she went
to Cass Lake, leaving Nestle at home
with Carlton and his wife, her
daughter. She returned home in
the evening, according to her story,
and the CARTONS told her that
Nestle had taken some money which
Mrs. Nestle had in the house and also
a sum from the CARTONS and had
left the house about noon failing to
return, and Mrs. Carlton had had a
few cross words with her father,
who Mrs. Nestle insists was al
ways irritable about the house.
Mrs. Neste stoutly denied that
she ever said that the Cartons told
her, on her return from Cass Lake,
that Carlton and Neste had a quar-
rel and that her husband had left
the house in a rage after taking what
money was there, declaring
that he would never come back and
for them to take the farm.
Breaks Down at Brush Pile.
Mrs. Nestle, with tear stained face,
asserted that Nestle and Carlton had
always "got along nicely" and that
she also liked Carlton, until rela-
tive came to the house, sometime
after the disappearance of Nestle and
stated that folks were saying that
carlton killed the old man."
Mrs. Nestle sobbed violently when
she accompanied the party of three
yesterday to the spot where the
bones were found. She pointed
mutely to the small fragments OF
charred bones that still remained on
the ground and located the exact
spot where the foot was discovered.
y Tragic Spot Easily Seen.

ed to send the young Cartons to
prison for life had been found
strewn about although there were
two points where the brush had been
burned, and where the bones were

SjanaIina at Sea.

The custom of signaling at sea by
means of various colored flags Is very
ancient. and the method seems to have
been brought to degree Of develop
ment bordering very closely on perfec'
ton. Many people have been astonish'
ed at the length Of messages conveyed
in a few moments and with the use OF
but half dozen flags In various CON-
binations. and when the extent OF the
language and the completely Of many
necessary messages are considered the
eighteen days in the signal flag locker
seem very inadequate. However. It
must be remembered that the signal
code utilizes sort Of shorthand, and
many long messages, known to be OF
frequent occurrence. have been con-
tracted to a single showing OF flags
in a given combination. The number
Of flags hoisted when a signal is made
never exceeds four. With the eighteen
flags Of various colors, using four Tor
each signal, no fewer than 1862 COM
bina tons can be made.

Canes and Swords In Porto Ric

Canes and Swords In Porto Rico.
OF all people perhaps none are more
fond of canes or more skilled In their
use than our fellow citizens OF Porto
Rico. The walking stick in that island
would seem to mark social distinctions
among men as fans do among women.
Every Spaniard has cane. the well
to do own several. and the gilded youth
often have a small arsenal of walking
sticks. The term "arsenar ia used adj.
visedly. as the Porto Ricans. like the
Spaniards. have quite fondness for
sword canes and dagger canes. and
they make these with remarkable skill.
The blades of the tiner specimens come
from famous smiths In Toledo and 9th
er Spanish cities and are forged from
the finest steel Some are damascened.
and others are inlaid with silver and
gold; some have worked upon them the
name Of the owner and others the
name of a patron saint.-Philadelphia

fourteenth century and caused con-
siderable sensation at the palace OF the
elector of Brandenburg. He found
that by these devices he could do away
with the guard at his private doors
and thus materially reduce his house

schlosser. or locksmith. has been an es'
sential factor in German life.
The present German house key could
be used as weapon Of attack and de-
tense. besides serving its original pur'
pose. 1t weighs on an average about
one-eighth of pound. and as each per
son entitled to carry a house and cor
ridor key has nearly a quarter OF a
pound of soft iron In his pocket 1t
is conservatively estimated that the
amount of iron in circulation IN Ger
many in the pockets OF the men ana
in the hand bags Of women amounts to
2,695 tons, besides an additional 2,5OO
tons for the keys to the Interior OF
German homes. Thus something over
5000 tons Of iron are put into keys OF
a size to be found nowhere in Amer
lea. However large the house or nu-
