state who wetn along, was enthusiast
tic over the evident fertility of the
soil Mr.. Lee of Red Lake purchased
a tract while all other purchasers
were from Bemidji.
So much interest was displayed
over the trip that the company has
had inquiries as to when another ex-

that another such trip can be made
as the Wilton & Northern line is be-

by the end of this week that most of
the line will be out of commission.
The present plans are that the rails
and ties be taken up. The logging
timber in the Fowlds district is ex-
hausted and the road, property of
the Great Northern, is no longer
needed.

Has Illustrated Feature.

The News Tribune has a feature
article illustrated with photographs
of Mr. Bailey, Sheriff HaZen, Deputy
Sheriff Helmer, State Fire Marshal
Charles T. Keller and Mike Davis,
the escaped Puposky bandit.
The News Tribune says: 'e
- s'commissi oner of-Insurafee=~J.-. A.
D. Preus places the loss in the state
by incendiary fires at SO per cent of
the whole. In the last few years the
total loss in Minnesota has averaged
about $S,OOO,0OO per annum. So it
will be seen the brotherhood Of the
slow match was reaping an annual
income Of about 100000.
Preceding Puposky Battle.
"These figures apply to the time
preceding the Puposky engagement.
Since then the falling Off has been
discouraging to all concerned in the
industry of burning houses. AS a
comparison: In the month of May
1910, the fire losses in the state were
$S25,OOO.
Last May, the month following
the exposure in the north country
they fell to $270,000, or decline OF
$555, 700. Mr.. Preus, who keeps a
close eye on such fluctuations, attri-
butes most of the difference to the
exposure of incendiarism in the
northern part of the state. He says
in his report:
so long as this question is ag-
itated and called attention to in
the press there will be little in
cendiarism.'
Of Mr.. Bailey's part in the work
the News Tribune says,
Gives Bailey Credit.
"That gangs and individuals have
become more careful of the use of the
torch in Minnesota, is due in large
measure to an accident. The quest
of deputy game warden for break.
ers Of the law led to the finding oil
evidence which precipitated the Pu.
posky episode. S. c. Bailey, former
police chief of Bemidji, now game
warden, ran into the nest of firebugs
while inducing DR.. Dumas of Cas-
Lake to assist him in unearthing the
identity of illegal deer slayers.
Gle communicated his knowledge
to State Fire Marshal Keller, who die
the rest. N. E. Helmer, private de-
tective at Bemidij, helped in the
winding up of the gang, remaining
outside the Puposky post Office, an6
shooting Behan, one of the robbers
and frebugs, and standing up before
Arch Criminal Mike Davis automatic
pistol, returning shot for shot. Sher
if Hazen of Bemidji also took al
active part in the undoing of the
gangsters.
