ENTERS JAIL; DROPS DEAD
H. N. Arnell, Laborer, Dies When
Placed in County Bastile to Await
Examination as to Sanity.
ONLY ONE MAN NOW BEING HELD

H. B. Arnell, a laborer. fell dead
in the arms of George Denley, deputy
sheriff, as he was being carried into
the county jail just before noon to-
cay. Arnell had been taken to the
bastile by Charles Study, of Frohn,
at whose farm he had been working
for his board.
A week ago Arnell completely lost
his mind, on several occasions wand
ering through the snow to the woods,
Study being forced to search for him.
He continually carried on in such
manner that his sanity was ques-
toned and it was decided best to
have an examination.
Consequently he was brought to
Bemidji today and had just passed
through the door of the Jail when his
body fell limp. Death came imme-
diately, doctor hurriedly called, 30
announced. Heart failure was the
cause.
There is but one man now in the
county jail.

WILL WATCH TONIGHT.
Passing of Old Year and Coming in Of
1915 to Keep Hany Up.

Watching the old year out and the
new year in is an old and world wide
custom. In pagan lands there used
to be solemn fasts and auguries of
blood, by which they sought to read
the future. Several Of the Bemidji
churches will hold observances at
midnight. In pioneer days, when
our own country was young at heart
and full of faith. there was the sac
red and never to be forgotten watch
night, the last night of the old year
Then it was that the people met for
prayer and praise and at the solemn
hour of midnight, just when the old
year vanished and the new year came
before them, then did they shake
hands in loving friendship, beg for
giveness for unkind feelings or deeds
of the. past and promise amends for
the future, consecrating all by mu-
taal resolutions, by good thoughts
and hope and faith This old time
watch festival was the most solemn,
beautiful and impressive and is still
observed in many places. ~-..f +

"The old Russian army, which about
a week ago commenced an offensive

INDIANS ASK INJUNCTION
Would Prevent Cutting Of Timber on
Red Lake Reservation -Engler
Not Highest Bidder, Claimed.
"WH1TE AND RED INDIANS,

In his chambers at Brainerd, Judge
iMcClenahan, of the district court, is
hearing case seeking to enjoin the
lcutting of certain timber off Indian
lands of the Red Lake reservation.
The action is brought by Indians on
the reservation, including William
Potter, one Schaday, and John w.
Carl, on behalf of all the Indian
Tribes and is to prevent E. A. Engler
and the E. A. Engler Lumber COM
pany of international Falls from cut
ting 420,O00,OO0 feet of timber that
had been brought in 1910, on the
ground that Engler was not the
highest bidder.
In this case," said H. B. Fryberg-
er, an attorney of Duluth, there are
red indians and White Indians, too.'''
The answer alleges that the day
after bids for timber were called for
the Minnesota & Ontario Power COM
pany endeavored to- file its bid, al
legged to be s71, 1,925.75. Engler, the
successful bidder, thereupon, it is al
legged, notified the land department
that in order to avoid all questions as
to the Indian wards receiving for the
timber all that could be received
from any source. consented to having
the contract fixed at $3.50 thousand
for Norway pine and $3.50 a thou
sand for white pine.
The contract was drawn up and a
sawmill built, $4,000 placed as a
guarantee with the United States,
$4,000 spent in protecting the tim
ber and additional labor and time
in saving what had been in the path
CT the Baudette fire.
This contract, it's alleged. was
known to the power company, and
that it is guilty OF delay and is
estopped from denying the validity of
the contract.

London, Dec. 3O.-The Russians
still hold the main German armies
in check and continue to press their
advantage, according to Petrograd dis
patches reaching London. At the
same time the Russians are harrass-
ing the Austrians in Galicia, who have
been flung back toward the Carpa-
thians to the east of New Sandec.
The Austrians assert the situation in
the north has not been Influenced by
the Austrian retreat in Galicia, but the
latest Russian statement says the
Russians have succeeded in storming
two positions on the west bank of the
Nida river in Southern Poland.
The Bzura river, to the west of War
saw, has now become the User of the
east. On its banks the Germans have
been sacrificing thousands of men, as
they did in Belgium on the User. The
crossing of the Bzura, which the Ger
mans forced at great cost, has now
been nulliied, according to dispatches
from Petrograd, the Russians having
driven the invaders back to the west
bank of the river. l.
....-.-..- Germans Make Advances. ..
Advices from Berlin say the situa.
tion on the right bank of the Vistula
is unchanged, and that on the left
bank, before Warsaw, the German Of
fensive continues. The Berlin state
ment indicates the fighting has been
carried to the east of the Bzura river
and that fighting continues along the
Rawka river, at some points on the
east bank. Berlin definitely states
that LoWciZ and SkiernieWice were
captured six days ago and that Skier
niewice is situated "far behind the
German front" A repulse of the
Russian cavalry operating on the East
Prussian frontier is reported.
In the western arena of the war the
allies claim slow progress, but the Of
December noticeably has slackened, a
fact which Berlin, accepting the order
issued by General Joffre, the French
cOmmander-in-chief, as bona fide, de-
clare means the failure of the at
tempted allied advance. Even some
British newspapers call attention to
the marked decrease in the vigOr Of
the French, British and Belgium
thrusts at the German line, but they
add that the reason for this quiet soon
will be disclosed.
