Card Game Continued in the Rear
Room After Closing Time On
Saturday Night.
ALLEGES UNDUE CONFINEMENT
Door Not Unlocked Until it Was AS
certained no Policeman Was
In Sight

Robert R. Stahl, who says that he
has fruit farm in Fayetteville, Ar
kansas, and who claims to have been
working for the Minneapolis Bedding
company in their Northome camp
since November, complained to the
police and city attorney yesterday
that he had been 'frisked" of some
mony and inveigled out of some
more in Beltrami avenue saloon
Saturday night after IL o'clock.
Stahl claimed that SAT was taken
from him in various ways. He furth-
er stated this forenoon that the sum
had been returned to him by inter-
ested parties.
Stahl claims that he came to Be-
midji Friday night from Northome
with $6S in his pocket, being on his
way home and stopping off here to
purchase some suitable clothing. In
an interview this morning, he stated
that he had gone to the saloon in
question for glass of beer and while
there was invited into a card game;
that at II p. m. the game had not
been finished and that the bartender
suggested the players adjourn to a
back room in order to finish; and
that after once getting him there,
the doors were locked and he was not
allowed to go until the five men with
him had all of his money between
them.
He further stated that he was not
allowed to leave the place until it
was ascertained that policeman
was not in sight and that when he
went to police headquarters he was
put off with promises of action but
that he was finally told nothing
could be done for him in that quarter.
Stahl claimed that the men who got
his money became involved in a dis
cussion as to how it should be divid-
ed before he was out of hearing.
1t is understood that the matter
was to have been brought to the at
tention of the city council at the
regular meeting last night but that
it will not be brought up tomorrow
as a settlement was made with Stahl
this afternoon

Socialist Party Adopts Legal Meaus-
ures to Weed out the Un-
worthy.
EXTRA POLICE DEPUTIES SWORN
But One Arrest Reported Up To
Press Time-Lumberjack Is
Drunk.
The Vote at 2 D. M.

First ward >. 133
Second ward 1856
Third ward 146
Fourth ward 1O2
= The above figures apparently indi-
cate that the vote in today's muni-
cipal election is to be fairly heavy.
In addition to the 102 votes cast in
the Fourth ward, it is stated that 20
Would-be voters were challenged and
subsequently refused the privilege of
voting. 1t was stated at noon that
one man had been challenged in the
Second ward but that the challenge
was overruled.
The Socialist party had legal chal-
lengers at the majority of the poll
ing booths, as the other candidates
ran on the Independent ticket and as
the Independents are not recognized
as party, the Socialist party was
the only one allowed legal challeng-
ers by law. Ed Ryan, in the Second,
and j. II. Grant, in the Fourth, were
used as legal challangers, while E.
was in attendance in the
Third ward part of the time.
Indications at noon were that the
hottest fight would take place in the
Fourth ward. Although at p. m.
the vote there registered was the
lightest of the four, the voters from
noon until p. M, were checking in
rapidly. The candidates for mayor
each had a rig out gathering up
prospective voters.
Joe Harrington, chief of police,
sWore in several deputies this morn
ing to assist in keeping order. Up to
press time, but one arrest had been
reported-that of a lumberjack
charged with drunkenness.
Polls will be open until 8 p. m.
this evening at which time the bal
lots will be taken to the city hall
and the count begun. Election re-
turns will be received at the Mark
ham hotel.

BUILDING IS PROGRESSING
Methodist Pastor Now Has Office il
Church Basement.

Progress on the Methodist Church
has been made during the last fort
light, as shown by the fact that the
pastor now has his Office on the
ground floor of the newly erected
building. This room occupies the
northwestern corner of the church
and is situated under the western
balcony. In addition to this another
room, which is being used for Sum-
day school purposes, has been tenn
porarily fitted and is now in use. The
pastors study, which was formerly
in the parsonage, has been in use for
the past several days, and the pastor
may be found there when before he
could be seen at his home.

COFFEE GEnilES.

Round Kernels Are Stronger and Rich.
or Than Flat Ones.
Everybody is more Or less familiar
with the term male berry" applied to
coffee. The term refers to the form
and style. not the sex.
An examination Of any kind Of cofIee
will show that about one kernel In ev-
cry twenty-five is quite round. like
bean, while all the others are fat on
one side. like the half Of split bean.
These round or male berries are always
found on the young. vigorous. new
wood Of the previous years growth at
the end Of the branches.
The old wood produces Hat berries
only. Each pod" or fruit Of the coffee
tree contains either two common Hat
berries or but one round one. The
substance Of the fruit in the one case
all goes into the single male berry. and
In the other It Is divided among two
fat ones.
This undoubtedly accounts for the
greater strength and richness OF the
male berry. In private plantations.

Ills verlnda To remark that It was
pretty hospitality. this letting stran-
gers sink or swim In his front yard.
1t was patent to Sheldon that Tu-
dor had become interested In Joan.
Often after his morning ride over the
plantation or coming In from the
store or from inspection Of the copra
drying. Sheldon found the pair Of them
together on the veranda, Joan listening
intent and excited and Tudor deep In
some recital Of personal adventure at
the ends Of the earth.
Sheldon noticed, too, the way Tudor
looked at her and followed her about
with his eyes, and in those eyes he
noted a certain hungry look and on
the face certain wistful expression.
and lie wondered II on his own face
lie carried similar involuntary ad-
vertisement. He was sure Of several
things-first. that Tudor was not the
right man for JoaL and could not pos
sibly make her permanently happy;
next, that Joan was too sensible a
girl really to fall In love with a man
of such superficial stamp, and. finally.
that Tudor would blunder his love
making somehow. And at the same
time, with true lovers anxiety. Shell
don feared that the other might some
how fail to blunder and win the girl
with purely fortuitous and successful
meretriciOus show.
The situation was very unsatisfac-
tory and perplexing. Sheldon played
the difficult part Of waiting and look
ing on, while his rival devoted himself
energetically to reaching out and
grasping ut the fluttering prize. He
did not belong to Berande. and. now
that he was well and strong again, 1t
was time for him to go. Instead OF
which Tudor had settled himself down
comfortably. resumed swimming. went
dynamiting fish with Joan. spent hours
with her hunting pigeons. trapping
crocodiles and Mt target practice with
rife and revolver.
But there were certain traditions Of
that prevented Sheldon
from breathing hint that 1t was time
for his guest to take himself of. And
In similar fashion. feeling that II was
not playing the game. he fought down
the temptation to warn Joan. Had he
known anything. not too serious. to
Tudor's detriment. he would have been
unable to utter II. but the worst Of II
was that he knew nothing at all
against the man.
