BAUDETTE FAIR A WINNER.
Belief OF Men In that Section That
Beltrami Would Have Won
With Northern Help
GET 70 GETHER NEXT YEAR


"Beltrami county would have car
ried away the banner at the state
fair, had it combined it's exhibits
with those collected for the Baudet-
tie display" is the belief of men who
have seen the show at the boundary
city.
It was one Of the best exhibits
ever displayed since this section of
the country has held fairs.
Attorney G. R. Middleton, who has
been in the city for the past week
is of the opinion that the two ends
of the county should unite their ef-
forts in gathering exhibits for the
state exhibit next year and carry
away the blue ribbon. ...
One of the professors at the state
university visited the Baudette show
and was loud In his praise of the ex-
cellent display of grains, and grass
es as well as stock vegetables.

how the denizens of the jungles and
the inhabitants of the small towns in

DlAz NOT TO THEIR LIKING
Outlook IN Mexico Not Encouraging
to Washington.


Washington, Sept. 2O.-News that
General Felix Diaz, nephew Of Gen
eral Porfrio Diaz, had been recalled
to Mexico to become the candidate of
the Huerta faction in the coming
presidential election, aroused much
interest here in official circles.
The general feeling was that the re-
turn OF Diaz made compliance with
President Wilson's principal demand,
that General Huerta should not be a
candidate. So far as auguring an era
OF peace, however, the outlook was de-
scribed as discouraging.
While the American government is
on record with promise to extend
recognition to the government set up
by legal and free election, it Is said
to;ae practically certain that the Unit
nile Diaz If he were elected, but would
wait in accord with the precedents Of
President Hayes administration to de-
termine whether the resulting gov
eminent was strong enough to main
tain peace and guarantee international
obligations.

.SULzER LOSES
FIRST BATTLE.
Senators Challenged By Defense
Seated Decision Is IN
animous
WAS FIRST FIGHT IN HIGH COURT
Attorneys For Opposing Forces In
Legal Battle Which Lasts
For Hours

Albany, N. Y, Sept. Governor
Suffers lawyers lost their first fight
In the high court OF. impeachment
when the four senators challenged by
the defense were permitted to retain
their seats.
The vote, which was on the ques-
ton Of whether the court should en-.
terrain the challenges, was unanimous
against such procedure. The four
senators directly concerned Fraw.
ley, Wagner, Transporter and San.
nar-did not vote.
Immediately. following the vote Of
the court the reading of the long
articles of impeachment was begun.
Although Presiding Judge Cullen
had the right to decide the question
of the qualifications of the senator's
for holding their seats he did not
take advantage Of this prerogative.
He first expressed his opinion that
the objections were not well ground
ed and then permitted the entire
court to vote on the issue.
In addressing the court Judge Cul.
len said that no court had the right
to sit in Judgment on any one OF it's
members. In this, he said, a court
differed greatly from jury, the quail
fications of members of which might
be decided by the courts.
: The vote came after a morning of
legal argument between Judges Her.
rick and Parker, representing the de
tense and prosecution respectively.
Assembly Frames New Charges.
While the senate and the judges Of
the court Of appeals were engaged in
trying Sulzer on the charges already
brought the assembly was at work
1f IS expected that Following the
session, which was called at noon, at
least three articles of Impeachment
will be added to the present list. It
is declared that the governor will be
charged with:
: First-Usurpation The specific in.
stance on which this charge will be
based is that he pardoned the bank
wrecker, Joseph E. Robin. It is held
that at the time Sulzer was not legal
ly governor.
Second-Making of inhammatory
speeches. .Sulzer freed his mind
about the senate, the assembly, Tam.
many Hall, Charles F. Murphy and a
number of other men after he had
been impeached. The assemblymen
held this amounts to contempt CT
court.
Third-This is the secret work.
Tammany assemblymen declare that
other impeachments are on the fire
for sulzer, but they either do not
know what they are or will not talk.

Said "Big Tim" Sullivan May Have
Been Victim Of Thugs.
New York, Sept. 20.-An investiga.
ton into certain features OF the
death of Congressman Timothy D.
Sullivan, whose mangled body was
recently found at railroad crossing
in the Bronx borough, was begun by
District Attorney Whitman. Mr..
Whitman would go no further than to
say nothing definite had developed as
yet.
Since the funeral of big Tim" ru-
mors have been persistent that he
had not met death accidentally, some
versions being that he had been set
upon by footpads and left uncon-
scious on the tracks. No autopsy
was performed on his body. Coroner
Healey has set Sept. 20 as the date
for the inquest.

Few Attend Dance

Only few couples attended the
dance which was given by several
young ladies of the city last evening
and all present left the hall after
II o'clock. The inclemency of the
weather and the report that the dance
had been postponed because a piano
player could not be secured, is be-
lieved responsible for the small at
tendance.

Carriages And Boat Service


When the train arrived at Redby
the big government boat had not ar
rived, owing to a breakdown while
out on the lake. Some of the party
were somewhat disappointed in the
service, but in a short time more
carriages arrived on the scene and
every body succeeded in reaching the
fair grounds in time for the after
noon program.
The big lake was rough and those
who took boats found some difficult
ty in being transported from the
dock to the waiting launches sever
al blocks from shore.
The need of channel, which pro-
position the government is now in
vestigating has been made evident
to those who attempted to go to Red
Lake by boat. Uncle Sam has appro
priated $4,000 for investigation pur-
poses and Fridays demonstration
has won many who will now favor
and support this much needed legis-
lation.
