Burbanks produced on the land
owned by Lee Hiltz, three miles west
of Bemidji, likewise were decorated
with a blue first.
Cobblers the result of the work
of ]. W. Skinner of Saum, were SIM
ilarly decorated.
The red ribbon for second went
to the Bliss Triumphs, grown by
Peter Narum, six miles southeast of
Bemidji.
These winners will be shown at
the potato show at Fairmont to be
held next month
The winners were nicely Grated in
a display and that they won the
firsts and a second is all the more
commendable when it is taken into
consideration they were shown in Be-
midi and had not been particularly
cared for with a view of further ex-
hibiting.

New York, Jan. 8.-1mportant
pages in as strange romance as
Cupid ever had a hand in are sched-
uled to be written on the dusty rec
.ords of Federal court here today when
tiny Rae Tanzer, former District At
.torney James w. Osborne and. the
mysterious Oliver Osborne Wax
come face to face. e..i@;=,~> =
Rae Tanzer,. New York woman
who looks like coy little girl,
claims James w. Osborne. a married
man of wealth and social standing
and former district attorney of New
York, flirted with her on the 72nd
street subway platform a few years
ago, later made violent love to her
and promised to marry her. To back
up her statement Miss Tanner sued
James w. Osborne for $4,000 for
breach of promise.
Says Never Saw Her.
James w. Osborne throughout has
maintained that he never saw or
heard of Rae Tanzer until he was
served with the papers in the breach
of promise suit. At all the trials
of the case he has asserted that a
mysterious stranger approached him
before the suit was filed and admitted
posing to Miss Tanzer as James w.
Osborne. The mysterious man has
never been prodiced in court, how
ever, and while Osborne and his at
torneys have spent a fortune in
securing the country for trace of
the man, Miss Tanner repeatedly has
positively identified James W. Os-
borne as her "Oliver."
Girl is Indicted.
Miss Tanzer's assertions, backed by
the words and deeds of her attorneys,
Slade and Slade, have resulted in her

Means That in Case of Trouble
Strikers Will Have Help From
Points Distant.
REPORT SAYS TROUBLE IN
FILLING STRIKERS PLACES
Keep a Solid 'front.'" Says Message
From Secretary Edwards; Madi-
son Reports Nothing Unusual"
A telegram received this morning
by Secretary Nils Madison of the Be-
midi branch of the l. w. w. reads
as follows:
Chicago, Jan. ZIG
Nils Madison, 49,.
Bemidji, MINI. ,EaN
Have 200 seasoned men here.
Other places are getting ready.
Haywood.
Asked to just what was meant by
the message, Mr. Madison replied
that it meant that President Hay
wood of the I. w. w. had 200 men
ready to send here as elsewhere when
needed in case of trouble with the
authorities over the strike in the
Backus-Brooks company's lumber
camps at Gemmell.
''All there is to it," explained Sec
retary Madison, 1--WE intend to be
quiet but of course if we are attacked
we intend to defend ourselves and
will have men to help u.s.
Men Turn Back.
Reports sent out state that Backus-
Brooks are having difficulty in in
ducing men to go to the scene of the
trouble to work. Such statements
appear in Twin City papers. At I.
w. w. headquarters this morning it
was asserted fifteen men went to
Camp No. 81 at Gemmell Saturday
from International Falls to work but
when they saw the situation they re-
turned.
Urges "Solid Front"
Another message received in Be-
midi is from Forest Edwards, Sec
retary of local No. 400, headquarters
at Minneapolis, which instructs all
strikers to keep a solid 'front.'"
The members Of the I. w. w. held
a meeting yesterday at headquarters
but it was for members only and
pertained to the strike situation. So
far as Bemidji is concerned, Secre-
tary Madison reported everything
about the same and nothing out Of
the ordinary.
