BRUTAL H0LDUP AND
ROBBERY OF RETURNED
DAKOTA HARVEST MAN
Lured Along Lake Shore and
Beaten by Three New
Companions '.j

One Of the most terrible holdups
and beatings that ever occurred in
Bemidji. was that of last night when
George Carpenter. woodsman, was
lured up the lake shore, about 3
o'clock, shortly before the rain, and
three men are being sought by the
police.
Carpenter is from Bemidji and just
returned from Dakota harvest fields
and had about $500 in his possession.
He met his three companions early
in the day and they induced him to
purchase two quarts Of booze in the
afternoon and another quart at
night, paying $12 per quart for the
stuff.
It was in the gathering darkness
of rain clouds that Carpenter was
accompanied northward on the lake
shore where the attack occurred He
was terribly beaten and his pockets
robbed of a hundred dollar bill and
about $40 in smaller denomination.
Not until II o'clock did he regain his
senses and started down town when
two deputy United States officers and
Indian agents happened to meet him
aiinlessly wandering, and they took
him to the police station.
The police are hard at work on the
of the brutal attack and are
in search of suspects, one Of whom is
believed known.

STATE OFFICIAL URGES .
AGAINST CHEAP PRICES

st. Paul, Sept. ia prediction
that government estimates will show
less than normal crop of, potatoes
and a warming to Minnesota grow
ers to sell potatoes only on good
market, was issued by Hugh Hughes,
market director of the state depart
.ment of agriculture.
I. The Minnesota late crop of pota-
toes ranges from the 1918 average
to rs per cent of normal, he said, yet
lit is fully as good as any in the coun-
try according to the best lntorma-
ton. Many sections of the state
which annually raise their own sup
ply will be on the buying market ue-
fore winter and a similar condition
will prevail in Iowa and adjoining
states, the director asserted.
Reports indicate that spectators
are contracting for potatoes now at
prices we'll below the market level,
continued Mr.. Hughes, "although no
home or outside situations point to
such contrasts as desirable or profit
able to the potato grower. The de-
partment believes that normal mar
ket levels will be sufficiently high to
insure good returns to growers at
any time before the, new crop OF next
year begins to move

GIVE DUCKS CHANCE
TO FEED.' IS APPEAL

St. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 19.-"Give
the ducks a chance to feed.'
That's the appeal the state game
and fish department and leading
sportsmen are sending out by word
and message to hunters over the
northwest.
In Minnesota several thousand
acres have been set aside for feeding
grounds for the game birds. The aim
is to set aside big feeding grounds
for winged games in every county in
the state. Ducks fly from one feed
ing ground to another every morning
and evening, the game department
points out, and if hunters are pepper
ing it at the mat the feeding ground
all the; time they will never come
near. On the other hand, ducks will
become more numerous If they are
permitted to feed. There are more
ducks killed: of, by weather condi-
tions and lack: of good feeding and
nesting grounds every year, than
through any, other cause, it was

TO REPASS MEASURE
Bonus Bill Results in Dead
lock On Amendment;
No Compromise ~

St. Paul, Sept. 19.-With the serv-
ice mems bonus bill and the tonnage
tax bill up to the Governor, a move
u1ent was on foot Thursday to extend
the session over to next week.
q" A new concurrent resolution was
Esdrawn up fixing the date OF final ad-
|,iournment for next Thursday or Fri
day and C. M. Bendixen, author OF
the tonnage tax bill has the resolu-
tion in charge.
Afraid Of Veto.
The purpose of lengthening the ses-
sion is to attempt the passage OF the
tonnage tax bill over Governor Burn
uuists's veto should he decide upon
sue l1a course of action. This would
take a twO-thirds vote.
The bonus bill was passed follow
ing a deadlock between the house and
senate which threatened to defeat the
measure. The result was victory
for the house.
The difference was over the George
II. Sullivan amendment to the bill in
the senate allowing the men to re-
ceive the bonus without deduction for
dNJ luVuCy lHCy hight haSO
under the free tuition act passed last
winter.
House Body Stands Pat.
The house refused to accept this
amendment, and at a meeting OF con-
ference committee Wednesday it was
decided to strike it out. The bill thus
altered was repassed by the house
Wednesday, but the senate Thursday
refused to accept the conference re-
port. A new conference committee
was appointed. and this committee
went over to the house expecting to
confer with a new house committee.
The house, however, was In no
mood for compromise. BY viva voce
vote that fairly lifted the dome over

shouted their disapproval Of the sem
ate and refused to appoint commit
tee.
The senate accepted the inevitable
and repassed the bill minus the Sui
