LIQUOR SHIPMENTS BARRED
Government Issues Order Prohibiting
Transporting Booze on M. & I.

BY order Of the Indian department
of the government given to the Brain
erd agent of the Minnesota & Inter-
national railroad and the agent of
the Northern Pacific Express COM
pany, no liquor shipments will be al
lowed to stations betweens Brainerd
and Big Falls, all of which have been
made "dry." l.. w. Carson, special
officer of the United States Indian
service, says the supposition had
been that when saloons were closed
in the north country that such or
ders would automatically stop ship
ments, but such had not been the
case and therefore the new order was
given out. Carson has, gone to
Omaha where he will prosecute Matt
Hofmiester, accused of sending two
gallons of whisky to Turtle River
under a false label. Hofmiester's
brother, who resides near Turtle
River and to whom the liquor was
addressed, was recently arraigned be-
fore Judge Simons, United States
commissioner, and acquitted of the
charge of introducing liquor.

CREW GIVEN SH0RTTIME
IN WHICH 7OQUIT VESSEL
(United Press)

London, April 6-The steamer
Northland was torpedoed off Beachy
Head in the English camel Monday
afternoon, say Cardiff dispatches re-
ceived here this afternoon. The
crew was rescued by the dispatch
boat Blyth Thirteen members of
the crew of the Grimsby trawler, Alta
lanta, which was sunk in the North
sea, landed here this afternoon. The
Northland's crew of twenty-four men
was landed in Deal by Belgian
steamer. Members of the North
lands crew say that the submarine
commander gave them only five min
utes in which to get their boats over,
and were forced to abandon all their
clothing and personal belongings.
They had rowed less than 100 yards
from the steamer when she went to
the bottom. A late dispatch says
that the trawler Atalanta was tor
pedoed after she made an attempt to
escape and was sunk after an hours
chase.

Omitted Press)

Havana, April Cess Willard,
the Kansas cowboy, who yesterday
won the heavyweight pugilistic
championship of the world when he
defeated Jack Johnson, the negro
champ, in the twenty-sixth round
here, has already received many Of
fers for fights, the last coming from
London promoters who have cabled
Willard that he can have the pick of
English heavyweights. Wizards man
ayers have rejected the offer.
There is some question here as to
whether. Willard really knocked
Johnson out. A moment after the
referee had finished counting the
fatal ten the black walked from the
arena He had often said that he
would not submit to repeated punish
ment when once he had met his mas
ter, saying that fighting is bust
ness. There is no questioning the
fact that Johnson was not put out in
the sense Of unconsciousness.
All during the fight the white wife

IS FORMER POLICEMAN,
Father of Smallest Homestead Owner
Came Here From Grand Forks.

Donald Blue, father of. Serena
Helen Blue, the latter being the
owner of the smallest homestead in
the United States, distinction
which has won her fame from coast
to coast, has been q resident of Bel
trami county since September, 1912,
and for fourteen years previous to
that time had been a member of the
Grand Forks police force. It was
three years ago that Blue first
thought of locating in Beltrami
county and the purchase of the 1872
acre farm, known as the John Berg
man homestead, soon followed, the
deal being made through the Reyn-
Odds & Winter agency. Adjoining
this property is the narrow strip of
land bordered by Lake Movil which
had been passed by as too small by
many homeseekers, and which Berg
man believed belonged to him, that
was homesteaded by Miss Blue. The
report that Miss Blue had resided on
the property for II years was err
roneous, it being II months that she
has made her home on the famous
eight-hundredths of an acre farm.

ISLAND LAKE FARMER
ENDS LIFE BY SUICIDE

Garfield Akerberg, coroner, re-
turned to Bemidji yesterday from
Island Lake where he had been call
ed to investigate the suicide of Joe
Monett, farmer, which took place
Sunday. Monet, who was about IS
years old, and resided on a 4O-acre
farm three-quarters of mile from
Island Lake and fifteen miles from
Puposky, from which place the cor
oner had to drive. Monet used a
shot gun in ending his life. He had
tied the leather string of his key ring
to the trigger, forming a loop, placed
the muzzle against his chest and with
his foot caused the gun to fire. Do
nestle troubles are believed to have
been the cause of the act. His wife
was squaw. The suicide took place
in back of the Wyman- Hickman store
and postoff1ce at Island Lake. H.
N. Mckee, the Bemidji undertaken,
left this afternoon. to take charge OF
the body. Interment will probably
take place at Island Lake. 49,

FOR NEW YORK STATE

Albany, N. Y, April 6.-The New
York states eleventh constitutional

WAREHOUSE FOR SOL WAY
Farmers Of That Vicinity Realize I'm.
portanoe Of Potato Standardization
q Meeting is Held.
MAKE VILLAGE TRADING POINT

Having arrived at a point in the
development Of their vicinity where
they realize the Importance and nee
essity of standardizing potatoes, the
members of the Solway Farmers
club have just held a meeting at
which the matter was thoroughly
discussed and definite plans for the
establishment of a warehouse made.
The movement has been urged by
l. G. Haycraft, Nels Bye, president of
the club, and B. e. Tweeten, secre-
tary, and others for some time, it
being the desire that some potato
dealer contract at definite price for
the SOlway output this year, build a
warehouse and in this way encourage
the farmers to use certain varieties
of seed and produce potato of equal
value as seed and table product.
Local interest was not sufficiently
arounsed until recently to promote
the building of a warehouse, but the
farmers have taken much interest
and the success of the proposition is
assured.
At the meeting the sentiment en-
tirely favored the erection of a ware
house and the enthusiasm was most
encouraging.
Representatives Of three farmers
clubs were in attendance at the meet.
ing and as sufficient acreage has been
promised and probable purchaser
secured the boosters are confident
that final arrangements will soon
be completed. s. -. .,~-- IS
1T is the determination of the peo-
pie in and around solway; !" says Mr..
Haycraft, to make this little town
a busy trading point and if the same
spirit prevails that was shown at
the meeting there is no question but
what they will succeed" ~.
