Minneapolis Journal Interviews J. 0.

BE PROSECUTED UNDER LAW
Attorney A. A. Andrews Also Inter-
viewed; Says Liquor Men Stand
ing by Their Rights.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 21.-(By
the Minneapolis JournaL) -Kelliher,
village of 500 in the Indian treaty
dry territory, has granted liquor Ii
censes to five men.
The action of the Beltrami county
village in defying government agents,
who with headquarters in Bemidji
are trying to enforce the provisions
of old Indian treaties, may be follow
ed by other towns and cities in the
dry territory. There is fiat defiance
of the government in the Kelliher
action and it was taken only after
attorneys had been consulted and the
village council had deliberated.
Kelliher gets $4,000 liquor license
money from the five licenses. The
men who hold the licenses take their
chances. . Kelliher should worry, say
members of the council.
Hotel Man Brings News.
The news of the insurrection in the
dry territory came to Minneapolis
yesterday when A. A. Andrews, Be-
midi attorney, and J. O. Harris, pro-
prietor Of the leading hotel in Kel-
liner, arrived in the city.
Mr.. Harris was one of five men
arrested two months ago at Kelliher
on charge of selling liquor with
out license, an offense under the
state law. He was acquitted at Be-
midji Then government inspectors
arrested him on a charge of intro
ducing liquor into Indian country.
He was acquitted at Duluth.
Mr.. Andrews was Mr.. Harris at
torney in both cases. In both cases
he told the jury that Mr.. Harris was
being singled out for persecution"
and poi inted to the fact that towns as
near the real Indian country as Kel-
liner have not been included in the
government lid order. After the trial
in Duluth, Mr.. Harris went back to
Kelliher and the council had a meet
ing. The council consulted Mr.. An
dreWs and five licenses were granted.
Size Up Situation.
This is the theory of the five Kel-
liner men who paid $500 for their
licenses:
They hold licenses and cannot
be prosecuted under the state
law.
The only thing that the gov
ernment inspectors can do is to
destroy liquor found on the
premises and prosecute for in
PRODUCING liquor into the Indian
country.
It is exceedingly difficult to
obtain enough evidence to con-
vict of introducing liquor into
the Indian country.
To destroy liquor on the prem
ises the liquor must, like the
stewed rabbit, first be found.
'The men of the so-called Indian
territory are not law violators," de-
clared Mr.. Andrews yesterday. 'They
are simply standing for their rights.
The way the arbitrary lid is being
applied is ridiculous, and think the
government will soon come to realize
this"
"Believed to Be Selling"
"Are the five men who hold licenses
in Kelliher selling liquor?" Mr.. Har-
ris was asked.
"I must refer you to my attorney -
he said.
His attorney was duly interro-
gated.
''It seems to be the general opinion
of the people of the vicinity" Mr..
Andrews said with deliberation, "that

Bemidji Girls Defeat Laporte High
School Quint by a Score
of II to 0.

The Bemidji high school basket
ball team claims the title of the Sixth
congressional district and a place at
the state tournament at Carleton
for the state championship.
Work Like Machine.
In a game Saturday night at the
Armory the local team piled up a
score Of 46 to ID against the St..
Cloud high school team. From the
first shrek of the referees whistle
until the final intervention of the
timekeeper the the Bemidji boys went
about their work at full speed and
were constantly bombarding the bas-
kets while at the same time their
close guarding kept the down-state
team from doing much SCORING
Tanner Starts Game.
Tanner began the scoring for Be-
midi and then came an avalanche of
scores. Not once did the visiting
team threaten the Bemidji team.
The local boys would time after
time dribble the ball the full length
of the floor and make counters. Tan
ner at Johnson at forwards appeared
in their glory and played one of the
best games that has ever been seen
on local floor The score at the
end Of the first half was 22 to 6.
Credit to All.
The St. Cloud boys played hard
game but were outclassed by the
local players. Fowler, forward of
the St. Cloud team, deserves special
melton for his speedy floorwork and
accurate shooting. The score at the
end of the second half was "a to 8,
making the final score 46 to a.
For Bemidji, Johnson and Tanner
played excellent games. However,
credit must be given to every man on
the team
