STATE DECLINES MONEY.
Legislative Omission Stops Payment
on Overdue Land Certificates.

Failure of the legislature to pass
resolutions authorizing state officials
to accept payments of principal and
interest on overdue land certificates
has impelled ]. A. o. Preus, state au-
ditor, to direct county treasurers not
to receive payments on such certi-
ficates until permission is granted by
the state. :. A, resolution in this di-
rection passed the senate, but was
not reached by the house. The GER
tificates were issued more than 40
years ago and represent the unpaid
balances on lands purchased from
the state. For some reason or other
there was default in payments. Mr.
Preus now holds 70 of these unpaid
certificates: on which there is due
$12,O99.O2 as principal. Two of the
tracts are located in Hennepin coun-
ty, Ii in Meeker; 16 in Winona and
9 in Nicollet.@ The title to 1858
acres is involved. until the legisla-
ture straightens out the tangle.

HOLD FUNERAL THURSDAY
Body of Maud Freeman, Bemidji Girl
Who Was Drowned at Brainerd, is
Brought Home for Burial.
ACCIDENT IN SHALLOW WATER

That Maud Freeman came to her
death as a result of heart, failure, and
not drowning, is the belief of her
father, Frank Freeman, who returned
to Bemidji with the body from Brain
erd last evening
The accident which caused the
death of the nineteen-year-old girl,
took place in Gilbert Lake, near
Brainerd, Sunday afternoon, the
boat in which she and Boyd Hamil-
ton, of Brainerd, were riding, tipping
over, as they were endeavoring to
change seats. Miss Freeman was a
good swimmer while her companion
was practically helpless in the water.
The boy managed to reach safety and
believed that the girl was within
reach of the shore when he was hor-
ror-stricken to observe the girl fall
and sink in two feet of water.
( When he reached her she was
dead. No water was found in her
lungs and it is believed that the .ex-
element killed her.
= Mr.. Freeman is heart broken over
the tragedy. Maud is survived by
her father, brother, Leonard, and
IA half-brother, Walter, Is.
The funeral will be held Thursday
afternoon. at 2 O'Clock from the Pres
byterian church, Rev. S. E. P. White
officiating. w 4,..1r., - T. ~. -

MAKES IMPORTANT RULING
Judge simons Decide, That William
Noble Cannot Be Had on Liquor
Introducing Charge.
MADE PURCHASE AT ''RAPms''

% e s--E g.- -
Judge H. A. Simens, United States
commissioner, in dismisslng the
charge of introducing liquor into In
dian territory brought against Viii
liam Noble, of Blackjack, has made
a ruling which will bring additional
entanglements into, the problem of
enforcing the treaty Of 1866, and no
doubt will close the saloons of Grand
Rapids and several other places.
Noble was arrested several weeks
ago by Indian officers. charged with
introducing liquor into Indian terri
tory. He was taken before Judge
Simons and bail fixed at $500. This
morning he was arraigned before the
commissioner and evidence was sub
mitted by Attorneys Thayer C. Bailey
and Henry Funkley for. the defense,
showing that the liquor was pur-
chased at Grand Rapids, a point
within the boundary of the treaty
territory: The point was brought
out that as the liquor was purchased
within the territory that a charge
of introduction could not be made to
hold the defendant. Judge Simons at
once dismissed the case.
Noble is Blackduck settler and
is we'll known at that place and in
Bemidji. He had been at Grand
Rapids to attend q state land sale
and according to the Testimony was
returning to his homo with a small
quantity of liquor for his own use
when arrested. IS a.
The ruling of Judge Simons will
probably. cause the government to re-
new it's closing operations and it
seems likely that Grand Rapids, CHS

will next receive the Gid ssose

GERMANS FAIL TO BRING FEAR
Famous Path, Where British Marched
to Reach Neuve Chapelle, to
Go Down in History.
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.


Copyright, 1915, by United Press)
Copyright in Great Brittany
With the British army in Northern
France, April 16.-(By mail to New
York. "A mile back from Neuve
Chapelle, we got out of our auto
mobiles. On our left was a farm
house with the roof blown off, on
our right wayside shrine, the floor
covered with straw on which SOL
diers sleep. at the foot. An English
colonel takes three of us in tow.
"We'll go in twos," he said.
Keep your distance apart. They
never shell a couple of men, but if
they see four of us together, they
might try to drop a shell on u.s."
We passed three ruined farms. In
the yard of one, hyacinths are bloom
ing at the doorway of the roofless
house.
"Now over across this farm" says
the colonel, and we turned off the
road and followed a broad beaten
path. This path is going to be writ
ten down in history some time. 1t
was beaten down by the feet Of
British soldiers who marched to the
trench that night of March 9 and
waited until the signal was given in
the morning to rush the trenches,
that reach before the village of
Neuve Chapelle. Frederick Villiers,
who has drawn sketches in 16 wars,
and is now in his seventeeth, stops
to make a sketch. IF you don't
mind" says the colonel quietly, 1--WE
won't stop here. There's a house
ahead of us there and we can stop.
why, are the Germans near
here?" asked Villiers. "They are
right over there says the officer.
But he doesn't hurry us on. He's
used to it,
The trouble about this war is that
you never know you are on a battle
field until some one WHO knows about
it tells you. The English artillery
is booming behind us; the shells drill
their long, hollow, echoing tunnels
through the air. But in all the fiat
land, broken now and then only by
the wrecks of shelled houses, there is
not a sign of human life, except
ourselves.
We reach the shelter of the house
and while Villiers does his sketch
the colonel says: THAT'S rather a
bad sketch across there. I lose a
man every now and then from bullets
that fly over the entertainments of our
trenches. It's worse along toward
evening than it is now, because then
the Germans can't pick out our
trench line so we'll in the gloom, and
many of their shots go wild at
dusk"
We start off down a road. We come
to porto. Huge piles of sandbags
form a gateway and walls of sand
bags stretch to the right and left of
the road. We passed through this
gateway. On our right we see that
the pile of sandbags shift and run
parallel with the roads.
