Bagley, Mimi, Aug. 8.-Joe Wit
era, a. Bohemian farmer. is at the
point of death at the Bagley hospital
as result of two gunshot wounds
received yesterday afternoon. It ii
charged that his neighbor, Fr1nk
Kupka. did the shooting.
Wagon Causes Trouble.
According to statements BY the
neighbors that brought Vitera to the
hospital, Kupka and Vitera, both Bo-
hemians, purchased adjoining farms
in the town of Bear Creek, % miles
south Of Bag1ey, in 1914. The same
year they purchased q wagon IN part
nership which was sold last fall BY
Kupka to a neighbor without tho
knowledge or consent Of Vitera.
Asks Settlement.
The selling Of the wagon csnl1ds
a feud between the two farmers and
every time they met they quaIreiade
over the matter. Yesterday, acOos6~
ing to reports Vitera made up his
mind that he would call on Kupka
and if possible get some sort Of
settlement for his share in the wa
gon. He took his double-barreled
shotgun and walked to the Kupka
farm and requested of Kupka his
share. He was refused and his
friends state was threatened with
dire punishment If he did not get OF
Kupka's place.
Laid by Roadside.
Vitera started for home and as he
stated, that it was the last time that
he would offer to settle the matter.
Just as he reached the road he re-
ceived a charge Of buckshot in the
back and turning to see who was
shooting he received, another charge
of shot in his left arm and breast.
He dropped by the roadside where he
laid until seven o'clock in the eve:
ming when he was found by girl
who was hunting for cattle. The
shooting, it is believed, occurred
early in the afternoon.
Girl Gives Alarm.
The girl gave the alarm and
neighbors telephoned to Shevlin for
an automobile. Vitera was rushed
to the Bagley hospital. Doctors Du-
lude and Bjorneby extracted the
buckshot and Vitera is reported to be
resting easily today.
The sheriff of Clearwater county
left early this morning to arrest
Kupka, who his neighbors stated.
would not resist arrest and was
awaiting the sheriff.
Vitera's gun was found BY his side
with both barrels loaded.

AMENDMENT / N, |
F. W. Murphy, President Of All-Min-

Visits in Bemidji.
IS MUCH IMPRESSED
WITH CITY OF BEluDU
Praises Work Of the Northern Min
nesota Editorial Association in
This Section.

F. w. Murphy of Wheaton, presi-
dent of the All-Minnesota Develop
ment association, who was visitor
in Bemfdji Monday enroute from Cass
Lake where he attended the editorial
outing, is a strong supporter of
Amendment No. l providing for re-
volving fund for the reclamation of
state lands. In statement to rep
|resentative of the Pioneer he empha-
sized the Importance of the amend
ment.
Visit a Revelation.
s.My visit to Cass Lake and Be
midji has been revelation to me, !"
said Mr. Murphy. 81 am profoundly
impressed with the marked advance
that has been made along agricul-
tural lines. Fine farms are upon
every hand and both in town and
country are evidences of general
prosperity.
"A visit to this portion of Mime
sofa emphasizes the necessity for the
adoption of Amendment No. /. The
state lands should be settled by home
builders and it seems wise indeed for
the state to fit small tracts for the
man of limited means upon which he
may produce the necessities of life
while clearing other lands. This will
mean more settlers, more land on the
tax lists, increased production, bet
ter support for the towns and cities
and a general growth along all
lines"
Praises Bemidji.
Mr.. Murphy was much impressed
Ein regards to Bemidji. J

"Then that beautiful resort,
'Birchmont Beach, Nesting among
the birches at the north end of Lake
Bemidji, at once pleases the eye, in
vites you to tarry, supplies your every
want and bid and be at peace with
yourself and the world. Here is a
real summer resort
Editors Aid Growth.
Mr.. Murphy praised the Northern
Minnesota Editorial association for
it's work in this district. He said,
"Great credit is due to the Northern
Minnesota Editorial association and
ts members for their unselflsh ef-
forts in behalf of this portion Of the
state. The editors have not only per-
sistently called attention to the needs
of Northern Minnesota, but have la
bored for the carrying out of the
many projects that have resulted In
