Now Believes Should Have More.

That the Minnesota & Interna-
tional railroad company faces more
damage suits as result of the re-
cent wreck of one of it's passenger,
trains at Farley is shown by the
following from this weeks issue of
the Northome =: Record: II. P.
Johnson came up from Bemidji on
Thursday morning and spent the day
looking after his business interests
here. He returned to Bemidji the
same evening, where he will remain
in the hospital for some time. Mr..
Johnson was one of the victims of
the Minnesota & International
train wreck Of January 2, and suffer-
ed severe injury to his head, his
scalp being so badly lacerated that
sixty stitches were necessary to
give him relief. Mr.. Johnson
settled" with the railroads claim
agent, who was on the ground with
in a few hours of the accident, for
the insignificant sum Of $50 and the
settlement was made while Mr.. John
son was yet in a daZed condition,
and not wholly responsible for his
actions. AS soon s.he recovered,
Mr.. Johnson realized that he had
been imposed upon by the railroad
people, and he will institute suit in;
the district court to hecover an
adequate sum Of the serious injury
he received. - 81.

) MORE OUT FOR MAYOR
McCuaig, Malzahn and Gibbons Peti-
tions Being Circulated for Intend
ing Candidates. :
COUNCIL CHANGES ARE CERTAIN
Copyright. 1922

In addition to the announced can
didacy of George Kreatz for mayor at
the city election to be held February
20 three more men nhS appear as
candidates: William McCuaig, Fred
NJ. Malzahn and John Gibbons.
Mr.. Malzahn will be a candidate
on the Public Ownership (Socialist)
ticket. The Socialists will have a
complete ticket in the field. Last
night they presented petition to
the city council asking that Socialist
judges be stationed at the voting
places along with the Republicans
and Democrats. There, was not a
quorum at the council so that no ac-
tion could be taken. . @
Mr.. McCuaig has been a candidate
for mayor before and is known to
stand for clean, honest progressive
administration. Mr.. Gibbons has
not announced his platform. ~
Candidates for the council so far
are keeping under cover and if the
present aldermen who admit that
they will accept second term may
have little opposition. In the first
ward William G.. Klein's term ex-
pires and he expects to succeed him
self. John Moberg holds over.
In the second ward Tom Smart
will be a candidate to succeed him
self. SC. Bailey appointed to sue
ceed Fred Bursley who resigned, will
under the provisions of the charter
hold over.
In the third ward Knute Roe quits.
It is probable that j. Evan Carson
will be Socialist candidate for this
vacancy. J. Bisiar holds over.
In the fourth ward N. w. Browns
term expires and he probably will
not be candidate for reelection.
G. c. Crippen holds over.

Enticing Offers for Purchase of Lots
OF Burned Section Turned Down
By Owners.
WORK OF F1REMEN PRAISED
Kept Flames From Further Spread
ing, Eight Men Pouring Water
Off Heated Roof.

Third street, where the smoldering
ruins of the Saturday night fire now
lie, If plans contemplated by Benja-
min Schneider, senior member of the
firm of Schneider Brothers, are con-
summated.
Mr.. Schneider arrived in Bemidii
this morning as the result of the
burning of his frame buildings and
authorized this announcement:
To Begin Work in Spring.
Il contemplate the construction of
three-story, ,up-to-the-minute struc-
ture, work to start as soon as pos
s1Dle in the spring. Negotiations are
under way whereby, in event of the
erection of such structure, that the
entire third floor would be occupied
by the Bemidji lodge of Elks.''
Mr.. Schneider will be in Bemidii
three or four days. He explains his
loss above the amount of insurance
to be obtained to be about $1,000.
s"You see,'' said Mr.. Schneider. e.we
owned all the Gunsalus bar fixtures
as we'll as those of the Deniss bar
Der shop and the lodging house fur
nishings.' =
Flattering Offer for Lots.
The Schneider property fronts 25
feet on Third street and extends 100
feet on Minnesota Since the fire
several offers to buy the lots have
been made, a particularly enticing
one from brewing company, but
SO far Mr.. Schneider has turned them
down, preferring to arrange his
plans for building which, he says,
will be the finest in Bemidji.
What improvements the Fitger
Brewing company, which company
owned the other two burned build
ings, have under consideration, have
not been made public.
Firemen are Praised.
i. Many complimentary remarks in
favor of the fire department in it's
success Of keeping the fire from
spreading away from the frame
buildings are heard.
It is contended that if the Brink
man had become ignited the south
side Of Third street was doomed. BY
drenching the walls. of that build
ing from it's roof, where the heat was
intense, and by operating a chemi-
cal and bucket brigade in the base
ment, the flames were baiked.
Eight Were Heroes.
On the roof Of the Brinkman when
its west wall was he'd hot and bill
lows of flames were sweeping over
it, eight firemen stood and poured
water into the inferno below, these
men being: Dan Gould, Fred Baum
garder, Floyd Brown, Herb Doran,
Alex Doran, Scott Stewart, Bobby
Wright and Archie Nangle.
When the fire was at it's heighth
Saturday the fire whistle blew indi-
eating a new blaze but the signal
was caused by crossed wires.

DOG THEATRE
PARTY COSTS
five BONES

Gotta dog? Gotta five dollar bill?
It's a cinch you will have to get a
chain or a five dollar bill If you
want to keep Fido.
The county commissioners OF Nyc
county, during their leisure time,
last March, passed an ordinance,
and numbered it "23" relating to
dogs who enter theaters and houses
of worship. Section ! runs like
this: 1t shall be unlawful for the
owner of any dog TO permit the
same to enter or to be in any place
of worship. or in any theater, CT in
any public place OF amusement
Section 2 is the goat getter; look
out for that purp or perhaps YOU
will be dining at the expense of Nye
county. Section states that any
person violating the provisions of
the ordinance shall be guilty of a
misderaeanor and upon conviction
shall be punished by a fine OF not
less than IS nor more than S25 or
by Imprisonment in the county jail
for not more than 20 days or by
both such fine and imprisonment
1t will york a hardship on the
police department OF this city for
some time to come as the town OF
Tonopah possesses four churches
and two theaters -and three police
officers. Now the question arises,
who will be stationed at the dit
ferent churches and theaters to keep
Fido out? Chief Smith was at
tempting to figure the matter ont
this morning, but gave up in de-
SPAR.

SIGNALS OF DISTRESS.

When journals that profess to be
advocating cause" resort to gross
unfairness and downright misrepre-
sentation, 1t is reasonable safe to as
sumo that their cause" If they ever
had one, is completely lost and that
they are fully conscious that it has
gone glimmering. These signals of
distress are now being displayed by
most of the Roosevelt organs in
California. They not only suppress
campaign news-some of them even
omitted to publish Taft's first speech
laying the great American pretender
but they even attempt to create
the impression that the president
has no chance of being renominated.
Glaring examples of these signals
Of distress are found in the current
number of the California Outlook.
Referring to the Massachusetts, pri-
mary, the paper declares that in it
Taft went to his finish" and that
the result means the absolute de-
struction of Tits hopes" And it
makes these assertions after grudg-
ingly admitting hat the preference
vote, by a little over 5000, favored
Taft" That is to say. when Taft
carried Massachusetts, his chance of
denomination was thereby destroyed
Is anybody impressed by that sort Of
logic? Here the signal of distress
is Misrepresentation that fools no
body.
The paper. as might be supposed
goes into ecstacies over Rooseyelt's
order 10 the delegates az large to
whom he was not entitled TO vote
for Taft Hear II declaring "But
