Reward For AssaiIant's Capture.
Governor Burnquist has offered q
reward of $3.50 for information that
will lead to the arrest and conviction
of the man who attacked and twice
shot Miss Olga Dahl, rural school
teacher, near her school in Goodhue
township, Itasca county, last Wednes-
day. This money is available from a
special reward" fund of $4,000, ap-
propriated by the last Legislature. The
issuance of the proclamation was the
first business to receive the attention
of the executive on his return from
trip to Little Rock and Memphis.
While the Governor was having tho
proclamation prepared the following
telegram signed by Cyrus M. King,
was received from Deer River.
"All Northern Minnesota rural folk
in dread while murderuus ravisher OF
Olga Dahl is at large. We beg you
to offer $1,000 reward for his appre-
hension. Expert sieuths necessary.
Because of the limited fund at his
disposal, Governor Burnquist decided
to let the reward stand at $3.50, at
least for the present. He did not in
dictate whether he had any intention OF
increasing it if renewed efforts failed
to cause the capture of Miss Dahls
assailant.
Pouring Rain HaIts Guards.
After a week of test drills, maneuv
ers and Federal inspections, the Min
nesota brigade at Llano Grande led by
Gen. Resche and his staff. started on
a fourteen-mile test hike in the pour
ing rain. Saturday afternoon, usually
a rest period for soldiers, was taken
as the most practicable time, and
shortly after noon the entire three reg
iments and the field artillery, equipp'
ed completely for field campaign and
carrying sixty rounds of ammunition,
left camp. Bad roads, made almost
impossible by heavy rains, caused the
supply wagons so much trouble that the
maneuver was abandoned after the
long column had moved about three
miles.
