MUCH Interest IN GAME
Switches in Lineup to Strengthen
Bemidji Aggregation for Contest
to Be Played With Brainerd.
STILL HAVE CHANCE FOR TITLE

Unusual interest is being shown
in the football game to be played to-
morrow afternoon between the Be-
midi high school football eleven and
the Brainerd team. The contest
will be one of the hardest ever
fought on local gridiron and, the
outcome will mean much in ascer-
tanning the north-central state cham
pionship.
The Bemidji team was practically
put out of the running for this honor
but by defeating Brainerd will again
be considered among the fastest in
the state and by winning the re-
naming games to be played will be
declared winners of the title, hay
ing already won from Crookston, the
northwestern state champions.
With the exception of Fred Ora
ham, captain and left half, all the
regulars will be in the lineup. Ora
ham has been barred because of ia
Guilty action and his absence will be
keenly felt. "FuzZ" Johnson will
play at Graham's position, while
Warfield will succeed the latter at
fuliback. The lineup will be as fol-
lows: Cameron, l. e.; Slater, l. t.;

TO PROVIDE SOIL SURVEY
Adoption of Amendment Nine Will
Cover Only Land Found to Be
Unfit for Farming Purposes.
NO. THREE ALSO IMPORTANT

Election day is now close at hand
and much depends upon the success
of amendments number three and
number nine, concerning which there
are several facts which seem to be
misunderstood by large number of
voters.
Amendments number three and
to Minnesota. Number three permits
the development Of state lands which
are agricultural and number nine
permits the development of those
state lands which are unfit for agri-
culture. AS the measures are closely
interrelated, they should really be
in one.
Number three is we'll understood,
but in regard to number nine the
question is often asked what lands
are unfit for farming and who is to
determine this?' The question can
be answered definitely and in the
is only permissive, not Legislative. A
soil survey has to be first conducted
in order to determine what state
lands are unfit for farming and what
are not. After the completion of
this classification the Amendment
will assert itself by the simple pro-
cess of not offering for sale those
lands which are unfit for farming.
A soil survey has been agitated
ever since 1897 with but no results
The ninth amendment is direct
agent to hasten this survey. With
the cooperation of the various
Development associations, the Forest
ry association will do all in it's power
to make this classification reality
1t is badly needed and it should have
been conducted long ago.
The fact to keep in mind is that
the state lands affected by the ninth
amendment will be determined by {
careful soil survey. The measure
has no Legislative powers; it is
simply step in the right direction
\ step which with the assistance Of
amendment number three will event
ually help make every acre in Min
nesota productive.

London, Oct. 30.-From the west
and from the east German reverses
are reported. Germany acknowledges
a check in Russian Poland, but con
corning the great battle in Flanders
she preserves her silence
The only official word received was
from the French, who again made in
definite claims to further progress.
Not since the struggle along the
North sea began fortnight ago has
Germany made statement upon
which may be based judgment as to
the course of events. The best In
formation available indicates that
notwithstanding their dauntless at
lacks and heavy sacrifices of life, the
Germans are further from the coast
than when the battle began. ~
The one great factor on which the
allies build their hopes OF an eventual
triumph apparently, according to their
claims, is beginning to tell. 1t is the
almost inexhaustible supply of men
that may be drawn from the vast
reaches of the British and Russian
empires, which are relied upon to
time to crush the Germans by over
whelming numerical superiority. In
the east this influence seemingly al
ready is being felt and to it is ascrib
ed the German reverse in Russian
Poland
Russ Forces Changed Often.
The secret Of the Russian victory
writes a British correspondent at Pc.

SAYS CALDERWOOD
DID not CLOSE Lid
"Pussyfoot" Johnson Denies Claim OF
Prohibitionist That He Unearthed
Treaty Concerning Liquor Sale.
FIRST NOTICED 8 YEARS AGO
Conviction Obtained at That Time II
United States District Court
Under Identical Provision.

: Claims of the prohibitionists that
w. G. Calderwood. their candidate
for governor. ''discovered'' the pro-
visions of the Indian treaty of 1855
and started the movement to enforce
it and make towns in the Indian
country dry, and. reiterated by Cal
derwood in his speech here Wednes-
day night have been denied in a state
ment made by w. e. 'Pussyfoot"
Johnson.
Mr.. Johnson. who as head of the
law enforcement bureau of the In
dian service. was terror to north
ern Minnesota saloonkeepers, and
whose position has been INDICATED
by the decision of the United States
supreme court holding the treaties
still in force, is in Portland, Ore. He
was asked to send a statement by
wire.
Did Not Discover it.
ut is true" said Mr.. Johnson,
that Calderwood joined in with the
Minnesota Anti-Saloon league, the
Minnesota Woman's Christion Tenn
perance union and business interests
generally in supporting our cam
paign in Minnesota to protect the In
dams from the liquor traffic, but it
is not true that Mr.. Calderwood had
anything to do with discovering the
provisions of the treaty of 1855, ex-
tending the then existing federal
laws as to the introduction of liquor
in the territory coded thereby.
Conviction Obtained.
about eight years or more ago a
conviction was obtained in the Unit
ed States district court under this
Identical treaty provision. The Ii
quor interests refused to appeal the
case and compelled the defendant to
serve Jail sentence, fearing an ad-
verse decision. Little or no public
ity was given the matter. The prose-
cution was brought at the instigation
of the Indian office and under the
opinion of Attorney General Moody,
but the matter was then dropped
Wanted Support.
IL had been in correspondence
with the Indian office, had made one
trip to Washington and two trips
to St. Paul seeking official backing
in Initiating this class of prosecu-
tons in Minnesota before Mr.. Cal
derwood knew anything whatever
about the treaties so far as 1 know.
This official support in Washington
was secured with much difficulty be-
cause the treaties had lain dormant
for half a century. Mr.. Calderwood
should be given full credit for his
Zeil in encouraging and supporting
the campaign after it had been inau-
gurated and this support is and was
much appreciated, but he had no
more to do with discovering the
treaty provisions or initiating the
litigation than had the German
kaiser"

De A 7 H TAKES
SLAYER OF BROTHER
John Dahl Succumbs to Self-Inflicted
Wound, Dying as He Is Being
Rushed to Hospital.
INQUEST HELD THIS AFTERNOON
Coroner Investigates Causes for Crime
Both Bodies Being Held
in County Morgue.

Two deaths are the result of yes
terday's tragedy in which John Dahl,
so, shot and instantly killed his half
brother, Alfred Dahl, IS, and then
turned 3S-calibre Smith e. Wesson
pistol, upon himself, the murderer
dying as he was being rushed to
the hospital shortly after four
o'clock.
Coroner Ibertson is conducting an
inquest this afternoon and an at
tempt will be made to ascertain the
real motive for the crime. Stories
told by farmers who were we'll &C
quainted with the two brothers,
claim that Alfred, the young man,
repeatedly attacked his brother and
on numerous occasions administered
severe thrashings, several quarrels be-
ing the result of drunken brawls,
while others were caused by disagree
ments concerning. the ownership of
their land.
Lived Four Hours.
Those who were first at the scene
of the murder and suicide, which
took place in the three-room shack
of the two brothers on their farm,
just three miles south of Bemidji in
the town of Bemidji, testify that the
double tragedy took place just before
naQn. After killing his brother and
notifying several men, who were
blowing nearby, of his deed, John
sent bullet into his own head.
The wound rendered him uncon-
scious, but he did not die until four
hours later and after he had been
brought to Bemidji. When the wa
gon bearing the two bodies reached
Bemidji the older brother was believ-
ed to be dead and was taken to the
morgue, but upon lifting him from
the wagon signs of life were noticed
and he was then rushed to the hos.
pital, lying before he arrived there.
Appearance of Slaughter House.
Records of crime in Beltrami coun-
ty do not show of one more dreadful
than that of Thursday and the home
of the two, dirty and unkempt, with
it's furniture and floors covered with
blood Of the two victims, gave every
appearance of a slaughter-house.
Around the body of Alfred, the MUIR
dered young man, was a pool OF
blood, while the bed and floor where
the suicide was found were covered
with gore.
Bodies at Morgue.
Both bodies are being held at the
morgue and many curious to see them
have been permitted to do So At
the inquest being held this afternoon
it is believed much information will
be given which, will be of assistance

to relatives, should there be any,

Gray to Testify.
Much interest is being taken in the
testimony to be given at the inquest
by one of the Gray brothers, the man
to whom Dahl told Of killing his
brother and of his intention to end
his own life. It is understood that
Gray will tell that Dahl told Of pos
sessing enough money to pay for his
funeral and to whom he desired his
property to left.
