Jag Lays On Track And Refuses
To Move For Trainmen

, Roger. Grumbo, a quarter breed
Indian became intoxicated yesterday
and delayed traffic on the 500 Rail-
way for short time. According to
local officers, Grumbo had lain
down beside the rails near the 500
Freight depot and refused to get up.
Grumbo is a heavy built man and is
believed to be. somewhat of q pugli-
list. Train men were unable, to pull
him, from the rail and not until Ser
geant Bursley and Officers Brown
were called could he be- forced to
move. He was tried before Judge
Crowell this morning but as he had
several good excuses, he was releas-
ed upon, q suspended sentence pro-
vided he leave the city today.

Chairman Rako's presence at the

that Beltrami county member has
ever attended the meeting, brought

map and he had not been on tSe
ground long before he un-
loaded the information that this
city was after the meeting. w. r..
Mackenzie, secretary Of the Northern
Minnesota Development association
at once rushed to his aid and with
the consequence that the delegates
resolved that the 1914 convention
should be held here.
The date of the convention will be
September rs, ~ and %.
Show Visitors A Good Time

GAME PLENTIFUL SAYS SMITH

Bemidji hunters are anxiously
awaiting the open season for big
game.
al E. V. Smith, who recently was
appointed garme warden at Grand
Rapids to succeed Jess Harry, fol-
lowing his resignation, was in Benz
idji today after a weeks visit in
the territory surrounding North
ONE, Squaw Lake and Stanley.
Since his appointment Warden
Smith has made a fine record and
is considered by the game and fish
commission as being one of it's most
efficient wardens. In speaking of
the conditions as he found them the
warden said: .,'y ~. =. ~
''The settlers in that part of the
county appear to be successful and
seem to be working in harmony
with the commission. They report
very little violation of the game
laws and want them observed.
found deer to be plentiful. Ducks
are many but the best way to secure
them now is by hunting them in the
rivers. The shallow lakes are most
all froze over now" u. ...1~*
Many hunters have already hauled
old guns out of their cases and are
putting the cleaning rod through it's
annual exercise. When the season
opens on Nov. 10, it is safe to say
that all the hunters will be ready for
immediate action.
= Big game licenses cannot be pur-
chased until three days before the
opening of the season. The county
auditor, J. L. George, has received a
block of 100 licenses
The sale Of the dig game licenses
will be open on Friday morning,
Nov. z, and none will be sold before
that time. - .s..,sss
Snow Is Welcomed.
Snow is welcomed by the prospec-
tive hunter, whose most ardent de-
sire is thatsEa few inches Of the

rolls around s go. +,.,.s =. =.
Bemidji will be the mecca Of hum
dreds Of big game hunters as soon
as the season opens. Almost every
railroad running out of the city taps
excellent moose and deer country.
The hunter is not forced to go far
from the city to get into the hunting
grounds. Anywhere from, ten to
fifty miles on a train will bring the
hunter into fields where game may be
found s.l.. g.. :~' 49,.
!. Dozens of. stations on the Mime
sofa & International and the 500 and
Great Northern railroads jump into
prominence only during the hunting
season. It is safe estimate that
more tickets are sold for some of
these stations in the two, weeks of
open season than during all the rest
of the year. The express figures for
these stations, which seldom amount
to anything during the ordinary run
of business, jump to startling proper
lions when the hunters start ship
ping their deer and moose in.
Bemidji railroads have been re-
ceiving letters of inquiry from hunt
ers in states east and south, and the
predictions for the season are that
Bemidji will see more hunters and
game this year than for many years
past.

Tor West Virginia ceal operators today

investigating committee that demands of
the miners leading to the recent strike in
the Cabin Creek and Paint Creek districts
We're IA part of a scheme by which outside
operators sought to take the great lakes
coal trade away from West Virginia

the United Mine Workers and various Of
fetal reports made by the union officials
during the past 10 years We're Incorporated
into the record the lawyers declaring that
they showed the union was working hand
in hand with the outside mine districts.
Neil Robinson, secretary of the West
Virginia Mining association, testified as
to increases in rates on coal from West
Virginia to the lakes, the claim being
that the railroads had been drawn into
the effort to divert the lake trade He
told Of unsuccessful contests in the courts
to annul the advanced rates. Several op-
orators headed by Quinn Martin swore
that the present rates were so high that
trade to the lakes was Improbable, and
that the business was accepted merely be-
cause it enabled the mines to run during
the summer

send no immigrant laborers to the West

Washington had embargoed emigrants to
their fields.
An embargo was later removed SUBJ

lence.
