CROOK PLEADS NOT GUILTY

John Taylor, an Indian, was
brought before Judge Crowell this
morning in municipal court on a
charge of intoxication and was fined
three dollars. Taylor succeeded In
rustling up the fine and was re-
leased. Efforts of Judge Crowell and
Sergeant Bursley to find out from
the defendant where he had obtained
the liquor were futile further than
he had obtained it from another In
dian. Taylor had been staying at
the West hotel with his partner but
no trace OF the latter could be found.
Taylor is we'll known in Bemidji and
was formerly tailor for James Kemp
and was member of the Bemidji
baseball team last spring. ~-
Pat Reaidon was also brought be-
fore the court on a charge of vagran-
cy, but he pleaded not guilty. The
case was postponed until four O'Clock
this afternoon and an effort will be
made to look up his past record. Lo-
cal authorities believe that he IL
wanted in some other city although
he claims he has just completed a
20-day sentence in the county Jail Of
Polk county, at Crookston.

TWO GO TO FERGUS FALLS
Insane Patients Tried Before Court
Commissioner D. H. Fisk This
Morring-Clark Absent.
HoFF FOUND TO BE CRAZY

sssgS-- :gSTqs-ksE .
Court Commissioner D. H. Fisk
acted for Judge of Probate Clark this
morning and tried two patients who
were Judged insane and who will be
aiken to the asylum at Fergus Falls
this afternoon. --~ -. =.
A woman who was brought here
from Blackjack, was found to be VIC
lently insane and local authorities
were unable to obtain her name or ad-
dress. According to Blackjack au-
thorities she had been staying at the
Sly hotel in that village, but from
papers which were found in her
pocket it is believed that her name
is Mrs. Francis Palmer and that her
home is at Hines, Minnesota.
Charles Hoff was also tried on an
insanity charge and ordered to be
taken to the hospital at Fergus Falls.
Hoff has been habitual drunkard
and has been a public nuisance about
Bemidji for the past few years. Au-
thorities were unable to manage him
as he refused to remain at the poor
farm and persisted in bothering citi.
zens. For the past few weeks he has
been strapped to a bed in the samar-
itan hospital but as his condition did
not improve the county officials took
charge Of him. Deputy Sheriff Denly
will accompany the two patients tt

GIVEN JAIL SENTENCE
Former Sailor Must Spend Six Months
In Cass County Bastile Says
Judge B. F. Wright.
STOLE WATCH FROM HIS PAL

! Because he took watch from his
sleeping pal, August Johnson, 35,
who recently left the navy, must
spend the next six months as the
guest of Robert DeLury, sheriff of
Cass county.
A few days ago the sailor and his
partner were visiting at Bena and
each, according to his story, became
somewhat intoxicated. Both fell
asleep and when Johnson awoke he
found his partner still sleeping, and
his watch lying beside him.
The temptation to take the watch
was so strong the sailor was unable
to resist. He took it, and placed it
In pawn for 81.
As a consequence his partner
squealed and Johnson was placed un.
der arrest He was taken to Walker
and decided it pest to plead guilty.
He was given an opportunity to do
this and was brought to Bemidji last
evening and Judge Wright held a
night session in order to accommodate
him.
Judge Wright appointed ]. s. Serb.
ner to represent the prisoner, while
Edward Rogers, county attorney,
prosecuted the case. Mack Kennedy,
deputy sheriff and Clerk of Court N
J. Palmer also accompanied the par
ty.
After questioning the prisoner as
to his record, and finding that he had
never been convicted of any crime.
Judge Wright imposed the six months
sentence, which is considered quite
light.

Mayor Says Special Officers Will Be

And His Men Will Place Foot On

Bemidji's Halloween celebration
Thursday night.
They will be really and truly boz
geymen, who will get you If you dom
look out.
Mayor McCuaig and Chief of Police
Lane will be the chief bogeymen,
and the members Of the police de-
partment, along with q bunch Of
Specials sworn in for the occasion,
will be the assistant bogeymen. They
will be on the job from dark until
daylight.
Chief Lane declares that he is for
everybody having good time on the
night of the spooks and COLLINS, but
he puts his foot down on the trough
stuff And come to think Of it an
accumulation of all the No. los on
the department pay roll makes
"some" foot. That's the foot which
will be ready to step on those who try
to go too far on Halloween.
Special Officers On Duty
Police in plain clothes will be scat
tered in all parts of the city to pre-
serve order and prevent destruction
Of property. Probably no one will
be "pinched' for soaping window
or shooting bean here and there,
but strict orders have been issued
against permitting any serious
FRANKS, such as turning wagon
wheels loose down the hills, hosting
wagons to church steeples or run
ming them over lake entertainments,
tipping woodsheds, breaking down
fences. carrying away gates. etc.
Allow No Destruction.
Persons convicted Of malicious de-
struction Of property are up against
a serious proposition. It's not mere
~ a misdemeanor, carrying a police
court sentence, but felony for which
a states prison sentence can be im-
posed. And the courts have shown
that they are not disposed to deal
leniently with cases of that kind.
