COMPLIES FOREST
FIRE STATISTICS
State Forester w. 7. Cox Calls At
tention of the Public to Fact That
Many Fires Can be Avoided.
le1ssLossEs AMOUNT TO $1,000, 600
Appeals To Civic Officers And
Schools Reminding Them That
Fire Prevention Saves Forest.

Minnesota has had 300 recorded
forest fires this year and these have
caused an estimated los of 100000
while there have been Vulnerable
prairie and brush fires which have
destroyed large numbers of farms,
buildings, grain and thousands of
tons of hay. Nearly all the fires were
due to carelessness, declares w. T.
Cox, state forester, who complied
the statistics, and which have been
received in Bemidji.
To call public attention to the
economic Importance of Oct. 9, or
"fire prevention day." Mr.. Cox has
prepared a circular letter to school
and. civic officials reminding them
that fire prevention includes forest
protection. >-.. --. ...- r.,
Following is his appeal: ~
"Do you know that there have
been approximately 800 forest fires
in Minnesota so far this season,
with a loss estimated at 100000?
"Do you know that there has been
.innumerable prairie fires that have
destroyed many farm buildings,
hundreds of bushels of ripening
grain and tons of hay? Ill.,.
'iDo you know that most of these
fires were started through careless
ness and could have been prevented?
DO you know that every time
there is even a small fire, human
life is endangered? .E .-=
do you know that in spite of the
altogether too limited force OF
rangers and patrolmen, before the
season is ended, the total numbers OF
forest and prairie fires may reach
500 and the loss may be doubtful?
"Do you know that with your as.
sistance this loss could be eliminated
"Do you know that the forest in
dustry is second only to agriculture
in the state of Minnesota, and that
most of the other industries are de.
pendent on it? " n
do you know that the welfare OF
the people of this state depends UP.
on the proper preservation Of the
trees? ..: .-.-
won't you do your part?"

Council Following Bitter Argument
Vote Against Larson and Gun
Sails Applications.
MAYOR MAKES KNOWN OPINION
Asks Aldermen to Use Judgment in

Sails Out Of Business.
MAYOR MAKES KNOWN OPINION

Last evenings meeting of the Be-
midi city council was what might
be termed a regular liquor license
session, two applications for renew
al being refused, one transfer grant
ed and three renewals granted.
Mckinnon brothers were allowed
to move their Minnesota avenue
saloon across the street, and Fred
Brlnkman, Frank Gagnon and Matt
Haffner were granted renewals.
When city clerk Stein called for
vote on the granting of renewal to
John Larson, who operates a bar on
Third street, Mayor McCuaig sprang
to his feet, and said:
Gentlemen, 1 want to say that I
am opposed to granting John Larson
a new license. You know as well as
| why his license should not be re-
newed, and all l wish to ask is that
you use your own judgment in so
doing"
R. F. Murphy, president of the
council then. asked the mayor to
make known his objections, this the
mayor did with the result that six of
the alderman voted no while one
voted yes and Mr.. Murphy did not
vote. Alderman Crippen of the
fourth ward was absent.
Much discussion was caused by
the Harry H. Gunsallis application.
Alderman Bailey of the second ward
asked that the city attorney, P. J.
Russell, to state the law where
saloon keeper has been found guilty
of allowing gambling in his place.
This request was made because of
Gunsalis having plead guilty to al
lowing game of rummy to be play
ed in his saloon several months ago.
Every member of the council felt
that Mr.. Gunsallis is one Of the best
and most law abiding saloon men IN
Bem1dji and expressed much regret
when Mr.. Russell read the law to
them whereby it stated that if
councilman should vote yes, or re-
fuse to vote on an license application
of saloon keeper convicted of crime
that he too would be equally guilty.
In view of the fact that Gunsallis
has one of the best kept and operat-
ed saloons in the city, and that the
building in which he operates is his
own, totalling in round figures not
less than $4,000, each alderman ex-
pressed regret as he voted no.

Man WAS ROBBER

son Connect Scribner Murder
With Thief River Robbery

Unable To Discover Identity Will
Be Buried At Expense of Bel
trami County.
FIND THIEVES TOOLS ON BODY

That the man found murdered
near Scribner yesterday morning
was a member Of the trio which held
UP and robbed the Thief River Falls
station agent of the 500 Line, taking
$500, is the belief of Sheriff Andy
Johnson and Coroner Ibertson
While absolutely nothing was
found on the body of the dead man
which might aid in discovering his
identity, leather box of A calibre
Smith and Weston cartridges, a
burglar file, soap and a large bunch
of keys, filed on both ends were
found in his clothing. His money, if
he had any, was taken by his MUIR
derer.
That he was killed late Sunday
Afternoon or evening is the belief Of
the authorities, and their view is
taken by the fact that the dead man
was newly shaver and that the blood
which led to the discovery Of his
hidden body, had been partially
washed away.
Another feature which adds to the
belief that the man was member of
the trio. which turned the trick at
Thief River Falls, is the fact that
detectives are firm in their be-
lief that the men are still in this
part Of the country, and because the
murder was committed in purely
business like" manner. The. bullet
which killed the stranger was fired
from the forehead. of the man, and
from a gun not more than six inches
away. Much powder was found
around his eyes and nose. The skin
was also burne he fact that the
blood spots where the man fell were
nearly destroyed, were precautions
which many believe a man new in
crime would not take time to do.
It is believed that the two men
who applied at the home of Andrew
Adams, section foremen, yesterday
morning are guilty of the murder.
They both answer to the descriptions
of the men that were connected
with the Thief River affair, and
while at Scribner behaved in pc
culiar manner. One of the men left
in a Bemidji direction, while the
other started toward the spot where
their companion was murdered. He
never passed the point again, for it
was at that time that homesteaders
placed a watch over the body of the
dead man.
Every possible effort is being
made to. capture the murderers, and
certain clues are being followed
which may result in arrests during
today or tomorrow.
The murder is supposed to have
been the result Of a misunderstood

TAYENNER TELLS
OF new DUCK LAWS
Unlawful To Shoot Them on Missis.
sippi River No Matter What
May Be State Regulations
IS IN EFFECT ENTIRE YEAR
Penalty Is A Fine Of 500 or 80
Days In Jail-Several States
Claim Laws Discriminate .

By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner.
Washington, Oct.7-At last can
give many friends who have been
writing me about the federal laws
relating to the shooting of wild
ducks and other migratory birds,
some concise and accurate Informal
ton, which regret 1 have been I'M
able to do heretofore, owing to the
fact the new regulations had not
been signed by the President. The
President has signed the new regu-
lations, however, and they are now
law.
Henceforward it will be unlawful
at any time of the year, regard
less of state laws, to shoot wild
ducks on, or over, or from, the main
stream Of the Mississippi river be-
tween Minneapolis and Memphis, or
the Missouri river between Bis
marck, N. D., and Nebraska City,
Neb. ......
Stated in another way here is
what it is unlawful to do:
Shoot wild duck resting on the
Mississippi river proper.
Shoot a flying duck over the Mis-
sissippi proper.
Shoot wild duck resting on, or
flying over. the shore of the Mis-
sissippi's stream, from a boat or
floating device on the river.
And here is what it is lawful to
do at any period of the year that
state laws do not prohibit duck
shooting: IF
Shoots ducks on, or over, any
slough, bay or inlet of the Missis-
sippi or Missouri, providing the hun
ter is doing the shooting from the
shore and not from the main stream
of the river. - ey@,,-@, -
Shoot wild ducks on any lake,
pond, river, or creek, or anywhere
else, land or water, other than, the
main streams of the Mississippi and
Missouri between the points above
cited. For instance, in Illinois, the
federal regulations do not refer to
Rock Illinois or Kaskaskia rivers, or
any other rivers or creeks in the
state except the Mississippi
The reason the regulations speci-
fy the "main streams" of the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri, is that these
are the only rivers on which the
government is attempting to protect
migratory birds. Jurisdiction over
the shores is not attempted. The
maximum punishment for a viola
ton of the regulations is a fine OF
800, or 80 days in JAIL
