AGENTS WILL NOT COME
Calderwood, Dry Candidate, Says Sa-
looms of Treaty District Will Be
Made Closed Upon Order.
RAPs STATE TAXATION PLAN

1t is the belief of w. G. Calder
wood, prohibition candidate for gov
ernor of the state of Minnesota, that
the saloons of the territory covered
by the liquor provisions of the treaty
of 1855 will be closed by order from
the commissioner of Indian affairs
during the latter part of next month,
Immediately following the sending
down of the mandate to the lower
court. This was indicated in the
speech of Calderwood given at the
City hall last evening.
The candidate gave review of the
history of the treaty and action taken
to cause it's enforcement and stated
that in his opinion the saloons will
not be closed by government agents,
but by an order which will name a
certain day for so doing.
He charged that the taxation sys-
tenn of the state of Minnesota is one
of the worst in the union, and that

10 depositors.
The results are gratifying to An

taken much interest in the postal
bank. Mr.. Erickson said that while
the deposits have at several times
been larger than is now the case, they
have gradually grown larger during
the past several months.

big boon to postal savings in this

Superintendent Dyer Tells of I'm
! portance of Amendment 8.

Reforestration, which is arousiHg
some interest among the voters, was
given a thorough discussion before
the high school students yesterday
morning by Superintendent w. p.
Dyer. Mr.. Dyer is in favor of Amend
9, and gave clear explanation of
its meaning, showing the effect it
would have on the school fund. He
also urged the assistance of the stu
dents in impressing their parents the
necessity of voting in favor of the
amendment and not to refuse to vote
as every blank ballot will count

! then went to the door of the three
! room shack and called to two men,
the Gray brothers, neighbors who
were blowing, telling them of the
crime he had committed and that he
was going to kill himself He then
returned to the house and Immediate
ly following his disappearance a shot
was heard.
The Grays rushed to the home of
Al Hazen, former sheriff of Beltrami
county, and told him of the double
tragedy. ...
Hazen and Nels Olson hurried to
the Dahl house and there found the
two men, both shot in the head and
apparently dead. Hazen went to
the Schultz home from where he
telephoned to the sheriff and the cor
oner.
On his return to the house Hazen
found John; the man who had COM
mitted the murder and attempted sui
eide, still breathing but unconscious.
{ DR.. L. A. Ward, county physician,
Coroner 1bertson and a deputy sher-
if arrived on the scene shortly after
the noon hour. After dressing the
wound of the living man, both he and
his dead brother were placed in an
ambulance and brought to Bemidji,
reaching here at o'clock. 1t is not
believed that John will live. g. -
The two brothers have been. known
to disagree over property matters for
some time and each has slept with
revolver in under his pillow.
Both men are unmarried and have
no relatives in this part of the coun-
try. The revolver used was a So
calibre Smith & Wesson, and belong
ed to Alfred A 44-calibre, Amer
lean Bull Dog gun, belonging to
John, the murderer, was found un-
used. Three empty shells were
found in the death weapon
When Hazen reached the home of
the crime he found John lying in
the kitchen, several feet from the
stove on which he had been frying
fish, still cooking, Dahl having been
preparing his dinner when he was
killed. The Dahls had resided in
this county about five years.
Both men were intoxicated, is the
claim.
