$4,000 MORE FOR FOREST AID
This Sum to Be Used in Minnesota
BY Federal Government.

Government money to the amount
of $4,000 year will be spent in the
protection of the forests in northern
Minnesota. An agreement between
the state and federal governments
under the Weeks law has just been
perfected, and government foresters
are already on the ground to take
charge of fire protection at the head
waters of the Mississippi and other
navigable streams. The government
aid will mean much to this section,
as dry weather is threatening a re-
petition of disasterous fires. State
rangers will be concentrated, as they
can be withdrawn entirely from the
territory looked after by Uncle Sans
men.
The Weeks law is for the protec-
ton on the steady supply of water
for navigable streams, recognizing
that the forests have an effect on the
rainfall and on a steady supply of
water for navigation. 1t makes pro-
vision for the purchase of land for
forest reserves, and also an appro-
priation of 100000 year which
the secretary of agriculture may use
in cooperation with the state or
with private owners of timber.
One requirement is that complete
plan and map of the scheme of forest
protection be filed, and this has been
done by w. T. Cox, chief forester OF
Minnesota. The amount to be spent
in any one state is limited to $780,
900, and Minnesota is the only state
to receive the full amount. Others
which will receive aid this year are
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
New Jersey and Wisconsin. Requests
have also been received from Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and Maryland

1vERs0N OBJECTS TO GOLFERS
Declares Charge That State Land
Goes to Spectators is Untrue.

A charge made by Golfers Week
ly in an editorial this week that state
lands in Minnesota are. falling into
the hands of spectators almost en-
tirely is denied by State Auditor
S. G. Iverson. Mr.. Iverson says that
rs, 900 acres of state lands have been
disposed of this season, and most of
it to actual settlers, as he says the
records will show. AS to the criti-
cism by Golfers that settlers cannot
get information, about the land Of
fered for sale, Mr.. Iverson says the
state appraisers report is open to
everyone, showing the amount of
timber and prairie land on each
tract, the surface, character of soil,
value of timber and number of acres
of waste land. Sales are limited to
800 acres to any one person.

Viggo Peterson appears to have; at
last succeeded In arousing Governor
Eberhart to action on the charges
nded many moons ago against Sheriff
Hazen. ess* =75-s=zs=>>-
Early this week Mr.. Peterson
wrote the governor, asking to return
affidavits submitted with the petit
ton alleging wrong-doing on the
part of Sheriff Hazen.
The governor has permitted the
petition to rest in the hands of At
torney General Simpson, who has
failed to render a written opinion,
as provided for by law.
Now the governor, as the result of
Mr.. PetersoH's letter, demands that
the attorney general turn over to
him "the petition and all other doc
uments' bearing on the case.
OF this the Minneapolis Journal
says:
Governor A. o. Eberhart today re-
ferred to Attorney General George
T. Simpson the request of viggo Pet
erson, chairman of the board of
county commissioners of Beltrami
county, that his afidavits charging
malfeasance in Office against Sheriff
A. H. Hazen be returned to him.
EARLY in the spring Mr.. Peterson
made the charges against the sheriff
of Beltrami county but no investiga-
ton has been ordered. Now he says
he wants his affidavits returned. The
attorney general is asked by the gov
ernor to look over the charges and
all other documents and see if the
charges make sufficient basis for an
official investigation. H.
"Mr. Simpson was not in his Office
today but his answer is expected to-
morrow. If he does not think the
charges sufficient the affidavits will
be returned to the commissioner"
Up to noon today Mr.. Simpson had
made no answer

STOLEN TEAM RECOVERED
Solway Livery Outfit Found at Farm
er's Home Near Cass Lake
Yesterday.
SOLD BY THIEF WHO ESCAPES

The team of horses stolen from
George Ellis, the Solway iveryman,
and believed by some to have been
used by Mike Davis, the Puposky
robber in his final getaway, was
found yesterday by the owner and
Sheriff Hazen at a farm near Cass
Lake. -
The team had been sold to farm
er, and there is no trace of the thief
who displayed the great daring in
his transaction and left Immediately
following the sale for the east, prob
ably Superior, suspected of being the
headquarters OF a den of crooks.
Goes to Cass Lake Via Bemidji.
Something more than two weeks
ago man giving the name of J. E.
Brown, and asserting that he was a
picture agent, took a team from the
Ellis livery at Solway. He said he
intended to sell pictures on the way
to Red Lake.
1t is now known that he came as
far as Bemidji and then continued on
to Cass Lake where he offered the
team for sale, demanding 5000.
When he was unable to get this
amount he went on from Cass Lake
around Pixies Bay to Cuba where a
deal was made with farmer to sell
him the team for $125.5O.
His Nerve Was Good.
That his nerve is good is shown by
the fact the he went into Cass Lake
with the farmer and had a bill of
sale made out. There were sus-
picions at the time that everything
was not just as it should be, but as
no one had any proof the thief was
not interfered with and he left on
the afternoon train the day he re-
ceived his money from the farmer
In some way. Mr.. Ellis learned that
hts tesm-was at-Cass- Lake and he
came to Bemidji yesterday and in
company with Sheriff Hazen pro-
ceeded to Cass Lake where he found
his horses.
Mr.. Ellis took possession of the
animals and drove back to Solway by
way of Bemidji today.
1t has been pointed out that
Brown" might easily have picked
up Davis from one of the many
empty cabins in the woods near Pu-
posky and landed him at some point
on the railroad outside the Bemidji
danger zone.

Marvel at His Audacity.

The audacity of the man in COM
hitting robbery in daylight in the
same town where fight with de-
tectives and Bemidji officers took
place only few weeks ago, is caus-
ing much comment, and some even
60 so far as to say that the robber
of yesterday was none other than
Mike Davis, although this, of course,
is merely wild flight of imagina-
ton.
After taking all the money he
could find in the cash drawer the
robber picked several small articles
on his way and just what the total
value of the stuff taken is can not
be told, as there is no way of know
ing just what was taken.

The Thief Escapes.

The thief escaped using the same
trail successfully traversed by his
more notorious predecessor, Mike
Davis. He may not be as success
ful in covering up his tracks, how
ever, as Puposky officers are hot on
his tracks and his capture is hourly
expected.
The theft took place in the middle
of the afternoon at a time when the
clerk in the store had gone out in
front to play catch.
Helps Himself to Cash. -
The thief seized upon the oppor-
tunity to break in the back door. and
proceeded at once to the cash draw
er where he helped himself to the
cash and ran out the same way he
got in.
The robbery was soon discovered
and the man was traced some dis
lance through the woods. Bemidji
was soon notified so that this city
could be watched for the man
should he make his way toward this
place.
