MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING
REPORTED EARLY TODAY

Reports of mysterious shooting in
various sections of the city early this
morning have been made today but
efforts to ascertain the cause and
results have practically proved futile
The police department claims to
know nothing further about the mys-
terry than that a number OF shots
were fired, presumably near the
lakeshore.
Another report is that a number
of shots were fired in the vicinity OF
the Union depot, while resident OF
upper Minnesota avenue claims that
he heard at least 40 or so shots, the
shooters passing up that avenue
hound north toward the fair grounds,
evidently in an automobile or possibly
more than one auto.
The nearest answer to the whole
affair is that one of the local jitney
cars. recently filled with gas OF a
poor mixture, caused the disturbance,
the back-firing of the engine resem-
bling the firing of gun. This ex-
PLANTATION was given this morning to
Sheriff Andrew johnson by one OF
the night patrolmen, according to
Mr.. Johnson's statement this after
noon. :.

BEMlDU MEN TELL OF . ! .
VERY RAPID TURNOVER

Advocates of a serapid turnover" in
their particular line of business are
urged to read this.
H. Morris, one of the proprietors
of the New Palace Cafe on East
Third street, returned to Bemldl
Thursday morning from Minneapolis
with his nose in a sling and feeling
squeaky in the joints, due to mis-
hap which occurred on the. way down
via the Ford route. .,,i,t;..... ..: -
A. J. Thorn, partner of Morris,
and Mr.. Cooper left Bemidji early
in the week by the way Of the jeff
erson highway and were losing. no
time in getting to Minneapolis until
they strusk sandy part Of the road
between Lincoln and Cushing Where
they lost control of the c#r.e The car
went into the ditch, turning complete
ly over and landing right side up
with the motor still running. The
occupants were dropped in the road
on the way over and Mr.. Morris
landed so hard that he was knocked
out, while Mr.. Thorn Jared better and
took after the unruly Ford and kill

All three men were more or le1S
bruised and were picked up and tax

were dressed. They then cintinued

thankful to be able to recount their
experiences, but also feel that rapid

Ray Thompson !. Injured In
Lively Exchange of Shots;
Robbery Well Planned :,
CASH AMOUNTING TO- = =
ABOUT $1,1oo TAKEN
Side of Bank Building Blown
Out by One Of Three Blasts;
Get Away in Auto

Armed with shotguns loaded with
large-size shot, q band of at least
five bank-robbers invaded Pinewood
early this morning, blew the safe Of
the Peoples State bank and esceped
with about 81 100 in cash and a guam
tity of bonds. Efforts on the part
of the people of the town to halt the
robbery failed, the robbers contin-
uing their work even after being
fired upon, and making their get
away in an automobile or possibly
two, which they had left about
quarter of mile east of town.
After cutting all telephone and
telegraph wires leading out of the
town, the bandits began their work
at the bank between 2:30 and 3 o.
clock, wrecking the safe with three
charges, one of the blasts
flowing out one side Of the bank
building. =
A. M. Thompson, 500 line agent,
was awakened by the first charge, he
being located in the living rooms
above the 500 station, a short dis
lance from the bank. He arose and
awakened his brother Ray, and to-
gether they watched the perform
ance from their bedroom windows.
They observed the light Of flash
light within the bank and could dis
Germ unusual activities there. Taking
a German rifle which A. NJ. Thomp-
son had brought back from overseas
as a souvenir of the World War, the
Thompson brothers fired four shots
all of their supply of ammunition,
into the bank building It is report
ed by one resident of the town that
one of the men yelled at that time,
and it is believed that he may have,
been hit by one of the four shots. :.
The bandits at the bank returned
the fire, smashing the window above
Ray Thompson's head, shot entering
his right forehead and the remainder
of the charge 'showering broken glass
over his face. Soon after the rob-
berry, he came to Bemidji on the local
freight, and notified the sheriff's
office. The sheriff's force, together
with Mr.. Thompson, then went to
Pinewood, Mr.. Thompson coming
back later to Bemidji and having hrs
wounds dressed. The shot was re-
moved from his forehead and four
small pieces Of glass were removed
from his left eye by DR.. A. v. Car
lock. His left forehead and his nose
are badly scratched by the broken
glass. Although the wounds pain
him somewhat, his only regret is that
he and his brother were not armed
with weapons similar to those the
bandits carried. 49,
The robbery was apparently well
planned. One bandit, we'll armed,
was stationed in front of the Pine
wood Mercantile company store, two
at the section foreman's house, and
several at the bank, outside and in
side.
C. A. Bye, Pinewood storekeeper,
aroused by the commotion, is said to
have attempted to look out of the
house to ascertain what was going on.
Immediately he was fired upon, but

SHlER9l! 4 Van ETTEN
! DIES. RESULT OF WOUND

According to a telephone commune
ication to Sheriff Andrew Johnson
this afternoon, Sheriff Hugh Van
Etten of International Falls, who
was wounded in an attempt to arrest
Joe Bushon and Joe Nigro, the latter
on charge of forgery, passed away
this morning at the International
Falls hospital. where he has been con-
fined since the shooting.
The message also stated that Koo-
chiching county authorities were then
at Northome bound for Bemidji with
Joe Nigro and that they desired the
Beltrami county sheriff's office to re-
ceive the prisoner for safe keeping,
the fear being expressed that an at
tempt would be made: to lynch Nigro
if he were allowed to remain in In
ternational Falls. Apparently, he
was started toward Bemidji just as
soon as possible after Sheriff Van
Etten died.
Joe Bushon, who is alleged to have
done the actual shooting which re-
suited in the death of Patrolman VIII
bur McMicken and Sheriff Van Etten,
was killed by possee in making his
capture. Nigro was captured soon
after by the sheriff's posse, and
feeling against him has been very
keen. '~-...
Deputy sheriff VAIL of Hennepin
county, who was in International
Falls after a prisoner, together with
'ohtres, brought Nigro here, arriving
at 2:3O. They Immediately left
again, due to fear OF trouble in the
foreign quarter of International Falls
tonight. They report that the sit
uation appeared rather serious when
they left this forenoon.

British Government Orders
Harrington to Demand
Turks Withdrawal
(DY United Praaal

The Turks are edging nearer and
nearer the British lines of the Dad
danelles carrying white flags and re-
versed arms, the signals Of friends.
Employing tactics similar to those
used by Indians in surrounding white
settlements and making protestations
that no harm is intended. The Turks
have pushed their outpost right up
to the British trenches. They have
quitely occupied all strategic points
in the neutral zone and have complet-
ly hemmed in the British whose lines
were flung out in semi circle around
Ghanak.
Meantime, General Harrington,
the British commander-in-chief, is
making every known effort to get
Kemal to met him in a conference so
as to have showdown on the inten-
ton of the Turks. No definite re-
ply came to Harrington, however,
and the only sign from the Turkish
chief was the continued advance of
his fighting men.
The 48-hour ultimatum, served on
the Turks demanding they -evaeuate
the neutral zone, brought merely the
reply the Turks were unaware of the
existance Of the neutral zone. The
British are prepared for desperate
resistance of the Turks who they fear
have quietly taken possession Of the
zone and are attempting to pinch off
Chanak. .sess,;>5e ~. q =
Soldiers and sailors dug earthworks
for the participation, bristling with
barbed wire and machine guns. Be
hind the British in the Dardanelles,
lie their dreadnaughts, whose big
guns can drop huge shells within a
radius of 20 miles around. Aircraft
tanks and armored cars are held in
readiness.
The Turks, so far as is known, have
not yet brought up any heavy ar
tillery.
In London, Lloyd George and his
ministry, are awaiting word from the
Near East, loathe to give the word
THAT may mean the beginning Of
another big war.
At Norfolk Virginia, II United
States destroyers are being rapidly
provisioned and equipped for dash
to the Dardanells to protect American
interests.

Constantine and crowned King
George, are preparing to rush an
army to Thrace to prevent the Turks
re-occupying that territory, the sui
tan is reported to have indicated. 81
