BEMlDu TEAM IS WINNER
High School Eleven BY Fast and
snappy Team Play Defeats
Crookston in 40 to Q Contest.
A CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBRE TEAM

Completely .outplayiHg their heay-
Ter opponents, the Bemidji high
school football eleven had little diff
ficulty in winning from Crookston by
IA score of 40 to @ in a game played
in that city Saturday afternoon.
Sensational forward passes, brill
liant end runs, snappy team play and
continual ground gaining Ii n e
.snashes brought victory to the Be
midi athletes, Crookston being able
to accomplish little against the stone
wall defense of Coach Bestups boys.
After eight minutes Of play, Ora
ham, the crack end, accepted per-
feet forward pass from Tanner and
ran so yards for the first score of the
contest. A few minutes later 'Fuzz"'
Johnson, the sturdy Bemidji fullback,
broke through the Crookston line and
after a squirt of 40 yards placed the
pigskin beneath the uprights for an
other touchdown.
Harry Wolfe, at end, playing his
first year of high school football,
played sensationally on both offense
and defense, and his run of As yards
after taking a forward pass, was one
Of the features of the contest. john
son played strong game and Bailey
at right half time after time ripped
through the opposing tackles for sub
stantial gains. Tanner at quarter
directed the play well and his work
had much to do with the large score.
He scored once, after run of 35
yards.
During the entire game Bemidji
was held for downs but once, while
Croohsten was able to secure but one
first down, so strong was the defense
of the line. Repeatedly Tackle ST.
mons would brush through the
Crookston line and throw the carrier
of the ball for heavy losses. Each
lineman played strong ball.
The game amply demonstrates that
Bemidji has one of the
best high school selevens ever
turned out by the insti-
tuition and there is every Indication
that the northern Minnesota high
school championship Will again be
brought to the blue and white.
Touchdowns, Johnson, Bailey 2,
George Graham, Wolfe and Tanner.

OFFICIALS ARE TRlCKED
Deer River Police Jail Lumberjack at
Request of Man Representing Him
self as Bemidji Deputy.
MARKHAM R0BBER WAS CLAIM

Members of the Bemidji police de-
partment and deputies Of the sheriff
office were jubilant Saturday even
ing because Of report that the man
who held up the Markham hotel clerk
Friday morning, had been placed un-
der arrest at Deer River and would
BIG, brought to sBemidji on the early
morninps train. - -
AS the train rolled into the Be-
midji station Sunday morning fifty
persons, including travelling men, po-
lice and others interested, watched
eagerly for sight of the bold high
wayman. They were doomed to dis
appointment for there was no Deer
River police nor was there any rob-
Der.
Strange as it was the police retain
ed the opinion that their man was
being held at Deer River or that the
police of that city had taken him to
st. Paul where bandit answering
to the exact description is wanted for
an attempted robbery and the shoot
ing of two policemen a week ago, one
Of whom has since died. A reward
of $500 is offered at st. Paul.
But yesterday forenoon the real
truth became known and a telephone
message to Deer River officials
brought out the fact that the man be-
ing held there in Jail, was luT1ber-
jack, arrested by man who claimed
to be a deputy sheriff from Bemidji
and who insisted that his victim was
the Markham hotel bandit. The
deputy sheriff" has not been seen
since Saturday evening and $38
which he took from his prisoner IS
missing also.
The alleged deputy gave his name
as Murphy and all day Saturday i'm
tpersonated an officer and late in the
evening told Bemidji officials over
the phone that he had found more
than $500 on the lumberjack and
that he was without question the
man wanted, answering in every de-
tail the description. In fact he did
not possess one single likeness of the
bandit
It was a good joke and the conse-
quence was trip to Deer River by
a Bemidji deputy and two warrants
for the fakir, one for larceny and the
other for impersonating an officer of
the law, were sworn out.

Dean Of Agricultural College Favors
Passage Of State Forests Amend
ment to Consultation.

Produce is His Opinion.
would TREAT THEM AS CROPS,

1 80 : 5tz n ( -
That the adoption of number 8,
the state forests amendment, will
create splendid home markets for the
farmers of Minnesota is the message
of Dean Woods, of the department of
agriculture.
The Ninth amendment for state
forests provides for the establish
ment of properly managed permanent
state forests on untillable state lands.
Treat Like Crop.
1.-THE adoption of this amend
ment," says Dean Woods, twill COM
pei us to treat the small remainder
of our forests like crop and not
like mine. The forests will be cut
in such manner as to provide fro
They will be harvest
ed and reseeded, revenue will be per-
manent. If the untillable forest
lands are sold as the present laws
impose, the forests will be cut down
by private interests with no thought
for reforestration. Under forest
management these forests will be
perpetual. Steady labor is required,
permanent homes will be established
and thriving communities will spring
up. Our farm lands employ many
men. Our forest lands can be made
to do likewise. Germany employees
steadily one laborer for every
hundred acres of forest land.
Splendid Markets.
'The men and horses will need
food. Thousands of dollars worth
of meat, vegetables, hay, grain, and
supplies will be needed the year
round. This will create splendid
home markets. It will give nearby
agricultural settlements a conven-
lent outlet for their produce. Good
roads are needed and will be built
in the development of permanent
forests. The development of pros
porous communities will be fastened.
In addition these state forests
will be financially profitable and as
two-thirds Of the acres affected by
this amendment are timbered, reve-
nue. will be immediate and the for
ests will be self-sustaining from the
beginning.
No. 8, the State Forest Ammend-
ment stands for good business. Not
to vote at all is to vote against this
measure Remember this November
3rd.'

ROBBERY MOTIVE;
OF BAGLEY MURDER
Body Of Joe Melette Found on Tracks
Of Great Northern Railroad
Early Sunday Morning.
MIX BLOOD INDIAN SOUGHT
Blow on Head by Blunt Instrument
Believed to Have Cost Life Of
Wandering Veterinary Surgeon
MIX BLOOD INDIAN SOUGHT.

Foul play is believed to have
caused the death of Joe Melette, a
wandering semi-professional veterin-
airy surgeon, whose body was found
lying on the Great Northern right-of-
way just east of Ebro, early Sunday
morning by boy who was walking
the track between Bagley and that
place. Melette is we'll known by old
timers in the isolated portions Of
northern Minnesota.
In Company With An Indian.
Melette was last seen Saturday
evening, when in company with q
mixed-blood Indian, he started from
Bagley to Lengthy. Both had been
drinking and were under the influ-
ence of liquor
Struck on Head.
Judging from the appearance of
the wound found on the top of Me-
lette's head, he was struck either by
a blunt instrument, or by an engine
while lying on the track asleep. The
remains were taken to Bagley by the
coroner and an attempt is being made
to inform relatives of the affair.
Had Large Roll Of Bills.
Parties who met Melette on Sat
urday evening are suspicious of foul
play, for the reason, they claim, that
when they saw him he had quite a
large roll of bills and when his re-
mains were found, only $3.50 in sill
yer was found on his body. The mat
ter is to be Investigated by Clearwa-
ter county authorities.
Three in Five Years.
This is the third time that remains
of persons that have been either kill
ed or murdered, have been found on
the Great Northern right-of-way In
that locality during the past five
years. z#s

London, Oct. 5.-In regard to the
battle of the Aisne, now in it's TWEEN.
ty-second day, there is only one point
on which the French and German Off.
cial reports agree, and that is that
General Won Kluck, the German COM
mander, still is moving northward,
though at snails pace, and that he is
SO powerful that General Joffre the
French commander, has been obliged
to admit that the German general has
been able to make a French detach-
ment debouching from Arras fall
back.
Further south, in the neighborhood
of Roye, according to the German
staff, the French have been dislodged
from their. positions, but the French
official statement declares all German
assaults there were shattered.
Again the Germans assert they have
fought their way southwark and have
made substantial advances in the Ar
gonne district. The French counter
this by declaring they have made
progress there. At the far eastern
end Of the line, around the River
Mouse, the French say they have
driven the last German back across
the river, and the Germans assert
they have defeated all French attacks
in that quarter.
Germans Renew Attacks
Paris advices say the Germans, af
ter having tried in vain to break the
strong line Of the allies, first at
Tracy-le-mont and then at Roye, have
renewed their fierce attacks between
the latter city and the region of the
Arras. Their latest efforts, however
are said to have had no better results
Each side thus is furnishing the
news it wants to hear. For the neu-
trail observer the only certainty is
that these intermitte- conflicts along
the immense line furnish only Sc
ries Of small cumulative results
which gradually lead in a given direc
ton and to an outcome which will
duly be determined when the present
process of attrition completes its
course.
The allies continue to pour in their
troops at points where they are need
ed to replace those worn out by the
hard fighting or to fill the gaps in the
ranks. Paris advices indicate that
the Indian troops who arrived in Mar
settles recently either are at the front
Or in its vicinity. They have greatly
strengthened the French line, which
is estimated at 100000 men.
