SWAZILAND STILL AT LARGE.
Sheriff Will Take Big Posse and Scour
Woods. --

Sheriff Hazen returned from Kelli-
her this morning after an unsucce
full hutn for Charles Swaziland who
shot and killed David Vidstrom Mon
day morning. Swaziland is still In
the woods, which are particularly
thick near his homestead, and is said
to be armed with 1920 Winchester
and 100 rounds of ammunition. He
is known to have provisions for at
least three days. Men have been left
to watch the place and the sheriff
will return tonight and tomorrow
take enough men out to systematical-
ly scour the woods.
It was learned last night that Vid-
strom was engaged to marry Miss Til
lie Wistrom who is working in Be-
midi. They were sweethearts in the
old country and he had come over
about five years ago to take up a
homestead. Miss Wistrom had fol-
lowed and taken homestead next to
his. At the time of his death, he was
living in her house and clearing both
pieces. Vidstrom had intended to
prove up on his claim in June and
they were to be married at that time.
Vidstrom will be buried after the
scoroner's inquest Saturday.

Places Charges in Such a Way Tha
Each Does Double the Ordinary
Amount of Work.
EXPLAINS MODES OF BLASTING
Cartridges Split and Solidly Tamped
Will Make Force of Explosions
Greater.

Forty farmers gathered at Fowlds
yesterday on the Mackey Brothers
place and saw giant stumps lifted out
of the earth wi tn four sticks of dyna-
mite when they had been using six
for the same work The demonstra-
ton was given by E. R. Calvin, spec
ial agent for the Du Point Powder
company and was designed to chow
the farmers how they could clear
their land at small cost by using
dynamite.
Speaking of the demonstration, Mr..
Calvin said, The dynamite I used
was forty per cent goods but I think
that sixty per cent would be better
for this soil and shall so recommend
to the house. The results of the tests
were good and think that the farm
ers know more about it now than
they did. If but one or two learn,
they can show the others and so save
money to the whole community"
Mr.. Calvin showed that by split
ting the side of the cartridge so that
it would spread when tamped, the
charge is pressed into smaller area
and the force of the explosion in
creased. In using several sticks un-
der one stump, the first three or four
are tamped in solidly and the fuse
then attached to the last stick. The
result Is an explosion of much greater
force.
In blasting in soft or sandy soil,
Mr.. Calvin started his hole at some
distance from the stump running it
under the stump at a slight angle SO
that the charge would be near the
main body of wood. In heavy soil
the hole was started close to the
stump and the charge placed down
and in the center. These methods
roll the stump back instead of blow
ing it to pieces and leaving the roots
in the ground.
"Where has all OF the noise gomez
asked one farmer, "our blasts can
sometimes be heard for three or four
miles" Mr.. Calvin explained to him
that the noise was unnecessary as it
shows that earth is being blown
rather than stumps. He said that
dynamite which made a noise was
doing nothing else.
Mr.. Calvin was accompanied by
Mr.. Jones, salesman for the Du Pont
Powder company and D. D. Tenney
of the Crookston Lumber company
This afternoon and tomorrow, Mr.
Calvin will give demonstrations near
Grand Rapids.

Dumas Case Attracts Crowds.

St. Paul, May 16.-Before an I'M
usually large crowd, arguments were
presented to the state supreme court
yesterday on the appeal of DR.. Del
bert F. Dumas, former mayor of Cass
Lake, convicted in Beltrami county of
the, crime of attempted arson in the
third degree.
DR.. Dumas occupied seat in the
rear of the court room, and listened
closely to all the arguments. Beside
him sat his father, Frederick Dumas
of Minneapolis.
DR.. Dumas is charged in the indict-
ment with employing Mike Davis and
Martin Behan to break into a build
ing at Puposky and set fire to it, in
order that he might share in the in
surance losses. The attempt failed,
owing to the activity of detectives,
who had learned of the alleged con-
spiracy.
The case was certified to the SUI
spreme court by Judge McClenahan on
two questions of law. If the court
decides for the defendant, the case is
dropped; If for the state, then Dumas
can move for new trial. If this is
not granted, he can then appeal the
entire case to the supreme court.
Freeman p. Lane of Minneapolis, in
presenting the case for the defend
ant, argued that cold question Of
law was involved and not one Of
whether the defendant was guilty Of
the acts brought out by the states
evidence.
Alexander L. James, assistant attor-
ney general, and E. e. Mcdonald,
special county attorney at Bemidji.
argued for the state. The states
contention is that the crime would
have been committed II the officers Of
the law had not prevented it, and
that the preparations were Of s,lffi-
Gent magnitude, and such a viola
|tion Of public safety. to. consti tute an
attempt to commit the crime Of ar

Able to Override La Toilette Men
When Question of Progressive Res.
olutions is Decided.
HAYcRAFT MADE CHAIRMAN
Seated Only After Vigorous Protest
From Northern Delegates Because
Of Vote on Reapportionment.

Minneapolis. May lie p. m,
special to the Pioneer)-A Roose-
welt steam roller was much in evil
dence in the state convention held
here today. I. A. Gaswell was chat
feur and handled the machine in
great shape. The program was ar
ranged in caucuses in the West hotel
this morning and went through the
convention with hardly q hitch.
State Senator Haycraft, of Madelia,
was chosen as temporary chairman
without any trouble, but when the
machine tried to make him the per.
manent chairman, q vigorous pro.
test was lodged by the delegates from
the northern counties because Of mis-
vote on reapportionment and he was
elected by close margin.
A real fight developed In the reso-
buttons committee and was carried to
the floor of the convention. The
Roosevelt men had prepared q set of
resolutions and 30 had the La Toilette
men. The Roosevelt men were in
the majority and succeeded in get
ting their program through. The La
Toilette men contended that as Roos-
evelt styled himself a progressive.
they should adopt progressive resolu-
lions. but on the advice of Roosevelt
managers the La Toilette resolutions
were voted down.
Minneapolis, May 16.-(12 p. MI
The state Republican convention
opened in the Armory this morning
at 10 a. M, all delegations report
ing good attendance. The conyen-
ton was called to order by E. E.
Smith, chairman of the state central
committee, and temporary organi-
cation was at once effected.
Roosevelt men are in absolute con-
troll of the convention but the La Fol-
lette supporters will ask to have the
resolutions include the initiative, ref
.erendum and recall claiming that
Roosevelt says he is q Progressive
and that there is no good reason
why the state convention should not
go on record for progressive prin-
ciples. The La Toilette resolutions
will be practically the same as those
adopted by the Hennepin convention
Tuesday.
Frank Knox, vice-president of the
Roosevelt national committee, is In
the city and will remain until after
the convention. He is here as the
personal representative of Roosevelt
and his suggestions as to what will
go in the platform will be regarded
as official. Although Roosevelt men
are in control, it is said that Taft and
La Toilette men will be treated with
respect.
In the selection of delegates at
large from Minnesota to the Chicago
convention, it is expected that the
recommendations of Minneapolis. st.
Paul and Duluth will be headed for
three men and that the state ut large
will receive three others. w. A. Mar
in, OF Crookston, has also been rec
commended as delegate having been
endorsed by the Ninth district con-
vention.
AS far as possible, state politics
will be kept out Of the convention
and the delegates will try to work in
harmony.
