Longer Than Usual.
MANY WANT CITIZENSHIP RIGHT

What will be the longest special
term of court. ever held in Baudette
since the passage of the law in 1909
making such a plan legal will start
at that place on Friday of nextzweek.

announced that there will be seven
teen cases for trial, all being jury
civil actions.
Aside from the trial of the civil
cases there will be large number
of applications for citizenship papers,
about forty desiring to be made legal
residents of the United States. One
of the main reasons why the legis-
lature passed the Baudette provision
allowing the holding of special
term of court at that place, was to
save expense Of men desiring citizen
ship papers caused by bringing wit
nesses and others to Bemidji, the
county seat. No criminal cases are
to he tried at Baudette. .'
Judge Stanton will preside and
Clerk Rhoda, Sheriff Johnson and
Court Reporter LaBaw will attend

IMPORTANT ARREST MADE
Police Believe They Have Man Who
Has Been Responsible for Freight
Car Robberies- Trial Tomorrow.
WAS CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS

81 - Z. r. lgst o. e. ;. 3D. &
Bemidii police are of the opinion
that they have at last put an end
to the many freight car and ware
mouse robberies which have been go
ing on in Bemidji during the past
few weeks, in the arrest Of Peter
Lentner yesterday. III:
Noticing that car on the Great
Northern side track was open yes
terday, W. W Lloyd, the agent, and
OFFICER Brown investigated and found
.Lentner. He was arrested and taken
before Judge Crowell, who granted a
request that the case De postponed
until tomorrow. The charge against
Lentner is gross misdemeanor The
city will be represented in the case
by P. J. Russell, city attorney, and
it is likely that an attorney for the
Great Northern will also he in at
tendance at the trial. :.- -. -.
The police have been at loss to
discover the thieves who have been
responsible for the many petit rob-
berries, although reports of several
freight car and warehouse losses
been received.
When Lloyd and Brown found
tLentner it appeared that every box
in the car had been broken into and
the opinion is that he is only one of
"a gang which has been causing the
trouble.

BILL AT FAIR STORE.
Attracts Much Attention When
Placed in Display Window.

s'Dollar Bill" is still resting peace
fully at the Fair store. "Bill'' had
a strenuous Fourth of July and was.
the cause of considerable noise in the
way of explosions. Mr.. Elliott OF
the Fair store had CHIP stuck up
in his display window along with q
common, ordinary dollar bill and as
result became much peeved. Bill"
believes that he is worth more than
the ordinary "filthy lucre" because
he generally produces better results.
After he has rested a few days, Mr..
Elliott intends to spend him. It's q.
case of spending him in Bemidjf, too,
as .,Bill'' will not stand for being.
taken out Of the city. The next
move WILLIAM makes will be re-.
