BAGLEY WOMAN'S NEGRO ASSAILANT

nocent of any crime, but he has been
unable to give satisfactory account
of himself and will not tell his real
name. -
Up to the moment that he was con-
fronted by Mrs. Olson in the court
room he kept up a boastful attitude,
but since encountering the woman
this morning in the courtroom his
demeanor has changed and while he
will not admit that he is the man
wanted he covers close to the sheriff
in fear. = ~a~,t
May Have Thought Woman Dead.
The negro may have thought that
he had killed his victim when she
dropped senseless in the road from
the blow which he struck with a
club for he seemed much surprised
when the sheriff assisted Mrs. Olson
into the courtroom. 49,
There is no question but that the
town is wrought up to a high pitch
and it need surprise no noe to learn
that an attempt has been made to
render summary justice, although
there is a strong effort being made
to save the town such disgrace.

SNYDER BUYS 100 ACRES
Dakota Man to Move Family to Be-
midi on Land Bought From
Crookston Lumber Company.
TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS NOW

Grant Snyder started out from his
home in South Dakota for Montana
to look up a desirable and profitable
land investment.
While on the train he discussed
the land subject with the conductor,
who produced land pamphlet print
ed by the Crookston Lumber COM
pany, of this city and induced Mr..
Snyder to look at it.
Mr.. Snyder reached here Tuesday
and left Bemidji Thursday a happy
man, the owner of a 100 acre tract
near Maple Ridge.
Mr.. Snyder said:
81 do not understand why more
people nearby do not buy some of
this land. The terms and prices are
ridiculously low for land that is the
best that I have ever seen, and 1 have
seen lot. The settlers throughout
this section have the finest crops I
have seen anywhere at any time
Mr.. Snyder has left at once for his
home, where he will arrange to move
to Bemidji for the winter and then
go out to his farm in the early spring.
He expects to stock up with cattle,
sheep and pigs and begin clearing
the land for the plow.
eff man bought land at the terms
and price asked by the Crookston
Lumber company, which is $3.50 per
acre down and the balance in twenty
years, AMI at from $500 to $11.OO
per acre, he should; if he makes the
most of his bargain, become indie
pendent within a period of five
years." said Mr.. Snyder. ....
Land men predict that in five years
time there will not be an acre of land
in this district for sale under $50
per acre. .

WOMAN ATTACKED HERE
Young Dressmaker on Way to N.Y.
more Struggles Free From Man
on Bridge at Midnight
ARREST MADE AT CAss LAKE

o.. -.
While returningssto her home in
Nymore at 1880 last evening a
young woman who does dressmaking
here and who had been sewing at the
g.. c. McGregor home, 1907 Bemidit
avenue, was encountered on the.
bridge across the Mississippi. A
struggle ensued and the young wo-
mans screams so frightened the man
that he released her and ran.
Man Arrested at Cass Lake.
The police were at once notified
and a suspicious character was ar
rested this morning at Cass Lake
and brought to Bemidji. -
Appearing at the county Jail this
afternoon the young woman told
Chief of Police Joseph Harrington,
that the prisoner was not the man
who had assaulted her.
Z" DR.. Dumas Aids in Search.
. Harry Mattson was the name the
accused man gave, having been ar
rested after heated chase to Cass
Lake by Chief Harrington, who was
aided in the search by DR.. Dumas,
mayor of Cass Lake who gave every
assistance possible in the seach, and
who came to- Bemidji this afternoon
with the chief. f..
Lost His Hat in Shuttle. s-
The assaulter lost his hat during
his attack on the young woman, and
Mattson when found leaving an out
building of the Great Northern
depot in Cass Lake had no hat, and
asserted that he arrived in that city
from Deer River, having quit the Sec
ton crew with which he had been
for few days. -
1t is said by railroad officials that
no section gangs has been working
in the vicinity Of Deer River and this
contradicts the assertion of the man
arrested at Cass Lake.
No Section Men at Work.
The agent at Deer River sold only
one ticket to Cass Lake last night
that being tall well dressed travel
ing man, while the man held is a
short poorly dressed workman.
The police of Cass Lake and Be-
midi are still in search of a man
answering the description given by
the woman.
Aside from the severe nervous
shock the young woman was unin~
jured.

In the uppermost branches he did

All efforts to coax the bear: I'd

The Fountain show arrived in Be

had it's three large tents ready for the
attractions of their afternoon and
evening, having pitched them on
Minnesota avenue between Fourth

Fred Zerado, member of the
Zerado Brothers, who comprise one
of the Fountain cleverest acts, cleo

from the top of the high platform tc

Punch and Judy and the ventrilo-

black and white wooden bows aid in
the free attractions.
The show this afternoon began
at $3.50 and will start at 8 O'Clock

There is no difference in the show
which is being given in Bemidje than
in the one which Bobby Fountain

Other Roads to Do Likewise,

While none of the other roads has
so far publicly announced a land
seekers rate, Mr.. Mackenzie is con-
lions, that the Great Northern and

Pacific's cut at once.
''This MEANS" said Mr.. Mackenzie
this morning "that Northern Minne-

to those parts of this country where
railroad rates were more favorable
