DEATH STALKED
in The WOODS
"PussYFooT" JOHNSON FOUND a
BAND OF LAND CRIMINALS
AT cAss LAKE.

Bemidji, Mimi. July 12.-Now comes
man OF good standing but unnamed
who asserts that certain gang in this
territory have carried on a systematic
swindle, and that washington officials
first learned Of the nefarious business
through reports furnished by pussy
foot" johnson, whose men ran into the
scheme at Cass Lakes
What these special officers did And
at Cass Lake was unmistakable proofs
that there existed we'll organized
scheme to defraud the government out
| OF many valuable homesteads,' says
the man. while the officers were
looking for liquor. they found printed
rorms OF contracts between certain
Cass Lake persons and men who acted
for them in settling on homesteads and
taking up timber claims and the con-
tract was so worded that, in ,ase of
death Of the man filing on the home-
stead or taking UP the timber claim
the Cass Lake promoters would come
into possession of all the rights of the
party OF the first part; thus putting
~ SAhiuAil OH A1iuFuST.
Some MysteriousIy Missing.
Il am told that numper of men
who filed on claims In the country
tributary to Little Fork In Koochich-
ing county, signed these contracts and
some Of the men afterwards backed
out o. their agreement, when they had
carefully read what they had signed
and realized the significance of the
contract.
Some men who filed on homesteads
have disappeared and there is no trace
or them. 1t is surmised that they were
either killed or frightened into volun-
tarily abandoning their claims; and in
some instances the claims have re-
verted to the party Of the first part.
1t is strongly limited that murder
Is not shirked by the men who have
been in the employ of the higher up
parties who are said to be implicated
In the arson cases; and as at least two
of the robbers who are wanted have
committed murder and served time for
their acts, the claim as to the efforts
to defraud the government by no less
crime than taking life, appear to be
well founded.
"Pussyfoot" Has No Jurisdiction.
Il understand that this matter was
Of such a nature. having to do with
government lands, that the special Of !
hcers working with Pussyfoot' John !
son had no jurisdiction. and the copies
Of the contract were turned over to
the general land Office at Washington:
and what that department has done in |
the matter, no one will say.
ut is significant fact that Cass
Lake parties have possession Of many |
claims and that their rela- |
-ives almost to the proverbial third |
and fourth generation, have been
pressed into service whenever land in
new place in northern Minnesota has /
been opened to settlement at the Cass
Lake land Office
DIR. Dumas possibly knows nothing
whatever of these land deals; and con-
Meeting his name with the matter un- /
loubtedly arose from the doctors trim
% Washington last year, when he got
in the lime light by defy /
ng the Indian authorities at the ma
tional capital and at his home town
of their attempt to close Cass
Lake saloons"
