PARTRIDGE BREAKS WINDOW
Bird Crashes Through Glass in Resi-
dence of Coroner Ibertson.

Here is a new problem for the
game wardens. If a. bird, immune
from being shov. flies into mans
house has he right to make it a
captive? That is just what happened
in Bemidji. A partridge, which, APP
parently had been shot by Mike
Davis, or some other law breaker,
for the season is not yet open, flew
against a window at the residence of
M. p. Ibertson, Minnesota avenue
and Eleventh street, and broke a
pane.

Wild Rumors Adoat.

In some manner it leaked out at
the capitol that some sort of a move
was on foot to secure the use Of mill
tia and this caused the report in St.
Paul that Mike Davis had been cap
tured and that troops were needed to
guard him in Bemidji all of which
was disproven by subsequent events.
The Bemidji officers together with
Detective Fielding and the post office
inspector returned to Bemidji last
night.

May Have Had Large Sum.

Tips were received in Bemidji yes
terday that the yeggs were, gather
ing at East Grand Forks at sort of
a jollification meeting and that a
large pot was being divided. 1t was
suspected that some of these men
came from Canada and this leads to
the theory that the money which the
men were passing out was the $780,
600 recently stolen from the branch
Bank of Montreal.
The plan of attack by the officers
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1911-09-23

was made with great secrecy and
every effort was made to prevent a
tip from being gotten to the camp of
the enemy. So certain were the Off
GERS that they would make a capture
of the greatest collection of yeggmen
in the northwest that they deemed it
wise to communicate with the gov
ernor regarding the possible use of
the militia.

BUYS 6,0dU..A ACRE TRACT
J. J. 0psahl Of the selkce Land Com
pany Announces Intention Of De-
veloping New Purchase at Nebi
SOLD BY CRooKsT0N LUMBER CO.

Announcement is made that 5000
acres of fertile soil, embracing the
townsite of Nebish rs miles north of
Bemidji on the Red Lake railroad,
has been sold by the Crookston Lum-
Der company of this city to J. J.
Opsahl of the Selkce Land company.
Mr.. Opsahl announces that it is
his intention to develop this tract
at once and to make special induce
ments to bring settlers in and take
up this land and cultivate it. It is
understood that his company will
make special terms and an effort to
divide the tract into farms to be oc-
cupied by homesteaders. ~..-
Experts Praise Soil.
Experts declare that this tract is
especially adaptable to the raising
of clover, potatoes, onions and celery.
1t is a clay soil, every acre is said to
be tillable. There formerly was a
heavy stand of white pine which has
been cut for the lumber company.
1t is believed that by year from
now many settlers will have come in
and that Nebish, which at the pres
ent time is merely a small village
with a general store and a Single
mill, and depot, a saloon, a small
hotel, ten residences together with
a school house, a wholesale feeder
yard, will have grown into a thriv-
ing town. of more than double its
present size.
Seeking Settlers.
It is understood that the Crookston
Lumber company, which recently put
on the market thousands of acres of
cleared lands, has had different offers
for this particular tract but that the
lumber company preferred to sell to
someone whose idea was to develop
# and make. it a thriving farm COM
munity.
What it is Like.
Two thousand acres of this land
in the northwest part around Nebish,
Bash, Smyth and Round Lakes is
covered with some hardwood timber.
The northwest part Of the tract,
5000 acres, is gently rolling and is
said to be easily cleared for raising l
potatoes, and for other truck farm
culture. The remaining I 900 acres
in the northwest corner lie along the
railroad and the Puposky river and
it is partly rolling and well adapted
for. stock farm and potato tracks.
The tract contains mineral springs
and meadows IS.

Twenty Men Presented by Coroner as Result Of Order
for Special Venire Not Satisfactory and All Are
Dismissed by the Court
NEXT LIST RETURNABLE WEDNESDAY MORNING
Judge McClenahan Instructs That it is Desirable to
Secure Persons as Far Away from Scene Of
Alleged Facts as Possible.

The trial of Dr. Delbert f. Dumas,
on trial for attempted arson, has
again been interrupted, the case go
ing over this afternoon until next
Wednesday morning.
This action following the dismissal
in body this morning of the 20
men secured by Coroner Ibertson on
special venire ordered by Judge Nc
Clenahan last Thursday.
No member of the special venire
was examined for jury duty, counsel
on both sides expressing willingness
to have it dismissed.
| This list was made up of persons
residing in FROM and Bemidji and
the impression was that all would be
too familiar with the alleged details
of the Dumas case to make good jury
men.
No Ones Integrity Attacked.
There was no intimation that the
special list had not been carefully
drawn or that good men had not been
selected, the apparent objection rest
ing, SO far as indicated in court, in
the one assertion that persons in. Be-
midi and vicinity have heard too
much about the case to render fair
verdict. r. y ~

When court convened ut a. M,
Judge McClenahan announced an ad-
journment to permit all members of
the bar to attend the funeral of Mrs.
P. J. Russell. and when it reconvened
at 1890 the objection to the special
venire was at once raised. -. ; -.
Judge McC1enahan announced that
all the men summoned for jury duty
should draw their pay and return
home
The: expense to the county in as
sembling these 20 men approximates
500. Each man isl allowed one
days fee, of So and in addition his
mileage. =. s---.s.
Veniremen Quickly Dismissed.
The court did not offer any explain
alton in Diminishing the veriremen but
simply told them to go to the clerk
and get their certificates for mileage
and receive their pay for one day.
No veniremen was sworn or asked
a question but the entire twenty
was discharged. ~ 81 :.
Asked in chambers why the venire-
men were dism Used, Judge McClena-
han simply said: "They are unsatis-
factory, all around"
The special venire was made up as
follows:
Harry Robinson, carpenter, Be-
midi. - --.
James A. Martin, farmer, Be-
midi.
Tom Mohler, log foreman, Bemidji.
Charles D.. Riley, laborer, Be-
midi
Robert Olson, farmer, Bemidji.

names except Nels Nelson and John

Victims Make Escape.

1t had been planned that the East
Grand Forks attempt should be made
later in the day but when the Off
GERS finally thought the moment OPP
perfume to close in on their victims
they found that they had delayed too
long and that the men they wanted
had gotten wind of their presence
through tip by friend or sympa-
thizer and none could be found.
Disappointed but not entirely dis
couraged, the officers continued their
search and Deputy Helmer and De-
tective Fielding, believing that Da-
Wis might have made for the home
of his mother who lives near Crook
ston, chartered an automobile and
made a fast run to, that place but
no trace of Davis could be found
there. 1t is now believed that he
went north and that by this time he
is in Canada. .

Judge Explains.

At that time Judge McClenahan
announced his intention of issuing
an order for another special venire
of 20 men. Addressing Coroner
Ibertson, the court said:
Mr.. Coroner, am going to order
another venire, and suggest that it
be made returnable Tuesday morning,
but will give you more time if you
think it necessary to get the men
who will make the kind of jury we
ought to have. This is large coun-
sty and and it seems to me desirable
that you choose men as far away
from the scene Of the alleged trans
actions as possible. Aim to chose
your men in those sections where
this information has not been so
freely circulated.
Now you know better than anyone

What Was Planned.

The plans called for combined
attack at 10 o'clock this morning,
but at that hour the streets Of East
Grand Forks, where a harvest festi-
val is in progress, were crowded and
those in charge of the expedition did
not care to assume the responsibility
of endangering the lives of pedes-
trians in the shower of bullets which
they believed was almost certain to
follow the attempt to catch the gang
made up of several Of the most no.
torious lawbreakers in the country,
prominent among them being Mike
Davis.
Davis, it is alleged by the state,
worked in harmony with DR.. D. F..
Dumas, mayor of Cass Lake, now on
trial here on charge of attempted
arson as a result of the attempt of
Davis and Martin Behan to burn
the post Office building at Puposky
on the night of June 16 last Behan
was captured at that time after a
gun fight in which he was wounded,
while Davis escaped.
