One HELD; OTHER FREED
Wyman Hickerson and Charles Dick

In Court Yesterday.
OFFICER BRANNoN IS COMING

On motion of counsel, Charles Dick
inson of Island Lake, was released
yesterday in municipal court after
having been held for some time on a
charge of violating the state Sunday
closing laws. His partner, Wyman
Hickerson, was found not guilty af-
ter jury trial. He was held on the
Sunday charge also. Dickinson was
mediately retaken into custody
and will be held for Special Officer
Brannon of the Indian department,
who swore out a warrant against
Dickinson last August.
The saloon operated by Hickerson
and Dickinson is located in Island
Lake which is village and controls
it's own saloons. Island Lake is but

of the witnesses for the state lost his
train and a second was i'll in the hos

put but two on the stand and the
jury refused TO convict on the evil

A few weeks ago, another Island

DUMAS FRIEND ARRESTED
Walt Johnson, Cass Lake Druggist
On Trial Today for Violating
Liquor Laws.
SOLD TO INDIANS AND WHITES
Special to The Pioneer.

Special to The Pioneer.
Cass Lake, Dec. 13.-Walt john
son, we'll known Cass Lake druggist
and friend of DR.. D. F. Dumas, was
arrested here yesterday afternoon on
charges of having sold liquor to In
dams and of having sold to a white
man. Johnson's trial on the second
charge will start at 1 80 this after
noon and the preliminary hearing on
the charge of having sold liquor to
an Indian will not be heard until af-
ter the trial this afternoon is finish
ed. The trial is by jury and a spe-
cial venire was drawn this morning.
Johnson is said to have been violat-
ing the liquor laws for so long that
he has come to be looked upon locally
as arrest proof and his being taken
into custody yesterday afternoon
caused no little excitement here.
Johnson's place has long had a repu-
tation for open violation of law but
village officers have apparently been
unable to get direct evidence on him.
Yesterday some Indians were found
with liquor in their possession and
they confessed to having gotten it
from Johnson. A short time later a
white man, obtained liquor from the
same place and he also confessed to
the officers.
Johnson's name was frequently
mentioned in connection with the
Dumas case tried in Bemidji about
one year ago and at one time his ar
rest was :momentarily expected. The
outcomeof the case is being watched
with more than ordinary interest.

HEAR YE!
JAMES L. GEORGE, COUNTY AUDI
TOR RECITES CERTAIN FACTS
CONCERNING DISAPPEARANCE
OF FROHN AND GRANT VAL
LEY BALLOTS FROM HIS VAULT

AS a statement from the auditor
seems to be greatly desired regarding
the ballots of the towns of Grant VAL
ley and FROM which proved to be
missing when desired by the recount
committee on December 1 1, I wish to
submit the following as being the
best statement I can make, and not
as one which offers any explanation
as to why they are missing.
These ballots were placed in my
vault together with all others, in al
phabetical order, and at what time
they were taken from the vault is
question I am unable to answer, as
I was not aware that they were miss
ing until the time came for the COM
mittee to recount those particular
ballots.
1t has been the custom for years to
allow all county officials, employees of
county officials, attorneys, and prop
erly credentialed outsiders free &C.
cess to the vaults and documents and
records, and it will be a hard matter
to change that custom.
An enemy could hardly have OBJ
tained access to the vault except by
committing burglary, and I cannot
find that force has been used in that
way, and my only conclusion is that
some so-called friend has been will
ing to sacrifice me and the bond of
friendship in order to secure these
ballots.
I have no we'll defined suspicious
as to the guilty party, and absolutely
no proof against anyone, and can
only hope that some day in the near
future, the missing ballots will as
|mysteriously reappear as they have
disappeared. Should they do so, I
would be willing to accept the GEN.
sure of all as to a degree of care
lessness which does not really exist.
1t is barely possible that I might
be open to suspicion of having mis-
placed the ballots myself, from the
, fact that during the late campaign
my sympathy has been with the can
didate of my own particular party,
than with the candidate of the op-
posite party, even though the latter
was an employee of my own office,
and a man in whom I have absolute
: confidence
| But | am satisfied with the fact
that the latter has expressed himself
absolutely certain that l am not to
blame in the matter, and if others
! think wrong of me, it is because they
do not know me. Perhaps my great
est fault is in thinking all men hon
; est until proved otherwise.

BEEL DEFEATS MILLER IN
WRESTLING BOUT BY
TWO STRAIGHT FALLS

Duluth, MIMI, Dec. 10. - Before
one of the largest crowds of wrest-
ling enthusiasts of the year, Fred
Beell of Marshtield, Wis, won two
straight falls from Walter Miller, last
night in the most interesting bout of
the season. Beell took the first fall
in ffty-three minutes and thirty Sec
onds with a full chancery, and the
second after fifty-eight minutes of
wrestling, Miller FORGETTING after
Been had secured a dangerous head
lock.
In the preliminary, Nestor Tuomi-
men, the Finnish champion, defeated
Tom Ederly, the Pacific coast wrest-
Ter, winning the two falls in thirty
four minutes of actual wrestling
time.
Long before the match the crowd
began to collect at the auditorium
and when the main bout was called
every seat in the large hall was filled.
Beell appeared to be considerably
overweighted, and despite the
crowds demand that he weigh in. re.
fused, FORGETTING 800 to Miller, the
outcome not to have any bearing on
the contest for the middlweight
championship.
While it was agreed that Beel]
had the privilege of refusing to give
out his weight, the general impress
sion was that he should have an.
nouned by just how many pounds he
exceeded Miller. The latter weighed
1873 pounds, and Beell appeared to
weigh. close to the ITO mark. =. ..-.,:

Arguments in the first OF Canadian
Northern fire cases were completed
before Judge Stanton yesterday after
noon and at 4 10 the judge began his
charge to the jury. His charge took
thirty minutes and at 4 40 the jury
was taken from the court room to
begin it's deliberations. At II this
morning, it had not reported.
The case which has just been tried
is that of Wilhelm Ripple against the
Canadian Northern railway for dam
ages alleged to have been caused by
a fire set by locomotive between
Williams and Cedar Spur Sept. 20,
1910. zipple's case is the first of
twenty-eight which are yet to be tried
and he sued for 1,424 damages to
real and personal property.
AS presented to the jury by wit
nesses and as represented by counsel
the story Of the fire is Substantially as
follows:
On the same day that Baudette was
burned out, fire swept over land
owned by Wilhelm Ripple and did
s1,424 worth of damage. This was
the first Friday in October 1910. The
fire is alleged to have been started
the previous Thursday by locomo
tive on the Canadian Northern rail-
way which was hauling a freight of
some forty cars from Williams to Ced-
ar Spurs, distance of less than three
miles
The plaintiff had witnesses present
alleged that a few minutes after it
had passed point about half way be-
tween the two villages they saw fire
along the right of way where none
had been before. One of the wit
nesses was walking toward the train
from Cedar Spur and the other back
of the train from Williams but by the
time they reached the fire it had
grown too large to be put out and
efforts of the men and the section
crew were unavailing.
This fire was said to have burned
slowly for several days, gradually
working north. On the following
Tuesday the wind came up and the
fire swept across swamp lying back
of a. sand ridge north of the railroad
track: On Friday it was close to Zip
pies place and gale from the south
southwest took the fire into the tree
tops and carried it across Zipple's
land It was said that at one time
the fire made ten miles an hour but
that three-founths of the nine miles
from Zipple's to the railroad was
burned over from Tuesday to Friday.
Charles Loring of Crookston and
Albert Chilgren of Williams, attor-
neys for the: plaintiff, traced the fire
by means of with esses from the time
it was started the previous Thursday
until it burned across the Ripple land.

Reporting that the county auditor
was unable to deliyer the election
ballots from the towns of FROM and
Grant Valley when called upon to-
do so, F. S. Arnold, inspector for C.
o. Moon, Thayer Bailey, inspector
for J. o. Harris and Fred Rhoda, in
spector for the court, completed their
work Thursday afternoon and draft
ed the report which was submitted
to Judge Stanton today.
The committee of three inspectors
was appointed to count the ballots
cast in the Harris-Moon fight for reg
lister of deeds at the general election.
According to the official canvass OF
returns, j. o. Harris, the present reg
lister, was elected by a majority of
five votes. Mr. Moon later served no.
tice of appeal and Judge Stanton or
dered a recount.
The recount was started on Tues
day of this week and before it was
finished it was found that the bal.
lots from the towns of FROM and
Grant Valley were missing. The,
ballots have been in the custody OF
| the county auditor since the election
and have been kept in his vault at
the court house. Mr.. George was with
the inspectors during the recount. !:
On the face of the recount with;
! the two towns missing, Harris is giv-
en- vote of 1 ,42G and Moon a vote OF
1,411. But by taking the count Of
the two towns as indicated in the of-ss
| fetal canvass of returns in Novem>s
| Der, Moon has a majority of three,
The votes in the missing towns gave
majorities to Moon. S
When the inspectors called for tbs
ballots they were brought from the:
auditors vaults. When the check.
ing was completed it was noticed
that two towns were missing and Mrss
George was asked to produce them;
After thorough search he reporte4
that they were not to be found and:
the inspectors made. up their tables
without the missing votes. In their;
report to Judge Stanton, they said
as follows: J,

PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR BUSINESS MEN
SYNCOPATION.
By Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion.

that clogged his tissues, he IL not only
able to perform certain physical feats,
but to do them in a given time.
Theoretically, a man may know every
hold In wrestling. Put him on the mat
and he Is helpless because. while he is
trying to figure out these various holds.
his opponent has automatically secured
the advantage.
/ am not presenting this as a study
in psychology, but simply as a we'll rec
ognized fact, and wish to emphasize IL
as a standard by which one may Judge
ones physical progress. The response OF
the muscles to the mind is possible in
this higher degree only through the care
full training of those muscles. The base
ball player Ia a most excellent example
of this syncopaton. The pitcher. the
men on bases. and the men in the field,
do not know when a ball is thrown
catcher's mitt. II IL Is struck. nobody
can foreteil just where the bali will go.
Provided IL is caught 1t must be throwl
to baseman Immediately. and all OF
this is done automatically. Only when
every player is able to adjust himself TO
any one Of the thousands OF conditions
that may arise I'm a game Is the team
efficient and unless each player Is in
continuous physical trim base ball as IL
exists today would be an impossibility.
II is perhaps, the greatest lesson the
Of physical perfection. 1t Is the out.
growth Of the worlds experience in all
physical lines and is based on the most
scientific and painstaking training and
selection OF raw material / present base
ball as an example of the time element
that must always be the criterion OF
physical fitness.
