NEW RATES ON NOVEMBER
Interstate Travel Will No Longer
Worry Bemidji Citizens

Beginning Nov. I, patrons of the
500 and the Great Northern who
wish to travel to any Minnesota
point will have to worry no longer
as to whether or not the road is all
Interstate or otherwise. Up to this
time, if one was not wise" to con-
ditions and desired to travel, ticket
purchased from Bemidji might be
labeled "interstate'' and therefore
would mean that the old Scent fare
would be charged. However, if one
were wise and purchased a ticket
to Cloquet, for instance or some COM
petive point and then kept within
the state, the rate was, according to
the order of the court, only 2 cents
mile. And that was the technical
point WHICH worried Bemidjians.
However, beginning Nov. 1, the
roads mentioned will put into effect
the 2-cent passenger rate between
points within the state. The two
roads and also the Northern Pacific
have filed scedules with the inter-
state commerce commission in accor-
dance with the returns of the famous
Minnesota rate case.

SENIORS TO GIVE TALKS
Candidates For Graduation Will Be
Required To Give Addresses

AS was the plan of last year mem
bers of the Senior class Of the Be
midi high school who are candi-
between now and next spring
be required to give talks before the
student body. On each Wednesday
between now and next spring the
talk will be given during the morn
ing vacant period. More time will be
taken in the preparation Of the talks
then was the case last year, and long
re addresses will be expected. The
plan is to cause the Seniors to spend
some time in research work. A list
of the subjects which may be dis
cussed by the graduates will be
given them in a few days and they
will then be able to select their
topics. The talks take the place OF
essays. There are 10 candidates for
graduation this year, including those
of the normal department.

BELIEVE BANDIT
MURDERED PALS
Unknown Man Found Dead On
Tracks Near Bena Thought To
Be Thief River Robber
STRONG RESEMBLANCE SHOWN
Detectives Advance Theory That
Through Fear Third Member OF
Gang Killed Companions

Did one of the three bandits, who
held UP the employees of Thief River
Falls express. office and got away
with $1,000, kill his two compan-
lions? III
This theory was given credence
when it was learned that the un-
known man found dead on the rail-
road track near Bena few days ago
is believed by detectives to be one
Of the robbers. 3
When the man was found there
was nothing to reveal his identity
and he was buried in the potter's
field at Bena. Later man who was
believed to be detective called on
the coroner and presenting a photo
graph asked if the likeness resembl-
ed the man who was found. He was
informed that it: did. Following this
the body was disinterred and ex-
amined closely. There was strong
resemblance
At the time of the Bean murder
rumors of the affair were heard in
Bemidji but detectives worked as
carefully as possible and refused to
give out any information relative to
thef finding of a second body.
The opinion of the detectives lead
them to believe that through fear Of
exposure or a disagreement. in the
distributing of the "spoils," led to
the murders.

DEAD MAN MAY BE POTTER
DR.. Morrison, sherm Bailey and
Others Believe Supposed Robber
Is Old Resident Of Bemidji
WAS REGARDED AS A CROOK

While detectives claim they posi-
lively know the identity of the man
found murdered four miles west OF
Scribner last week, but refuse to
make public their discovery, Bemidji
men are certain the corpse is none
other than that of man named Pot
ter, formerly of Bemidji.
From pictures taken OF the body
while it was in the Ibertson morgue,
Sherman Bailey, at one time chief of
the Bemidji police, DR.. w. R. Nor
rison, formerly of Bemidji but now
of Billings, Montana, and William
Pickles are confident that the dead
man is none other than Potter.
No sooner had the picture of the
murdered man been shown DR.. Nor
risOn, who Is in Bemidji today on a
short visit, then he exclaimed, "Why
that is the face of man name Pot
ter. | remember him we'll"
The doctor then told of his having
been called to aid a women who had
attempted suicide eight years ago,
the wife of the man known as Potter
She was found in serious condi-
ton, but after working over her
three hours, her life was saved. She
afterwards told of her husband be-
ing crook and a sneak thief, and as
she felt the only way to keep out of
trouble, in which her husband was
sure to place her, she had attempted
to kill herself 'j,''gi' ~: t~
At the time of the attempted SUI
eide Bailey was chief of police and
he recalls many instances where Pot
ter gave trouble to the police, and
says that he was a sneak theft of
the lowest type 49,.
The three men named and others
in Bemidji are positive they can
prove the murdered man is none
other than Potter.

For Investigating Conditions

Several Tell Of Advantages To Be

Country At Large Will Gain

ta= y ~ u 1 .
Sixty-eight men comprising farm
ers, boatmen, business men from Red
Lake, Redby, 'Washkish, Kellihar
rand others interested in harbor CON
struction on. Red Lake attended a
conference held in the office of sup
erintendent w. F. Dickins, Thurs
day morning with Col. c. T.. Potter
and his assistant, P. F. Joice, at
which arguments were advanced ad--
vocating the construction of harbors
on Red Lake ports. +
Those attending were united to a
man in urging this much needed
movement.
In speaking of the proposed pre-
ject Col. Potter said. "The Govern
ment looks upon this proposition
from business viewpoint entirely.
First: will the business warrant it:
and Secondly: Will it benefit the
neighboring communities?"
No Stone Unturned &:
After outlining what must be sub
mitted in his report he called upon
w. +. Dickens and invited all to take
part in the discussion. Assuming the
tactics Of schrewd attorney, Col.
Potter left no stone unturned in
firing questions which brough out
the points needed for or against the
feasibility of harbor construction.
There are about 800, 900 1000 feet
of pine logs on the reservation, fifty,
per cent OF which must be delivered
to- market by way Of the Red Lake;.,
said superintendent Dikins, in urg-
ing the harbor movement. "There is
also considerable cedar and pulp
