M'CARTH IS FO
SPOONE
The Man From Grand Rapids
Speaks His Mind Most
Vigorously.
SOUNDS HIGH THE PRAISES OF
JUDGE SPOONER.
Declares That All Parties Should
Endorse Judges McClennahan
and Spooner.
When Senator C. C. McCarthy
of Grand Rapids speaks there
can be no doubt whatever as to
his meaning. If President Roose
velt has not got his eye on the
senator he has been missing
something very good indeed for
the man from Grand Rapids is
as strenuous as they make them.
There has been a deal of specu
lation as to what would be
Senator McCarthy's position in
the election of a successor to
Judge Spooner of this city next
fall. McCarthy was a likely can
didate for the judgeship last
spring and many were surprised
and not a few disappointed that
he was not appointed. Gossip
said that he would be a candidate
for the place next year and a
most lively fight was anticipated.
Senator McCarthy was in the
city yesterday in connection with
the Whetstone-Bryant shooting
at Cass Lake, having been re
tained as Bryant's counsel, and
was approached by a-^Pioneer
man in regard to the judgeship.
The senator's remark left no
room for doubt. He declared:
"No better thing could happen to
the fifteenth judicial district than
the re-election of Judge McClen
nahan and Judge Spooner. I
shall do everything within the
limit of my power to accomp
lish the re-election of both gentle
men. No man knows what hour
may find his every interest
weighed in the hand of a judge
and we cannot be too careful in
the selection of the men whom
we place on the bench. In judges
McClennahan and Spooner the
district has two men of unusual
ability, learned in the law and of
unimpeachable integrity. All
parties should unite in endorsing
them for return to the bench."
Speaking of Judge Spooner
Senator McCarthy said: I
should be happy indeed were I
so able a lawyer as Judge
Spooner. He is one man among
thousands and if the people' of
the fifteenth judicial district love
justice he will be returned to the
bench without a dissenting
voice." Brisk Business in Second Papers
Clerk of Court Rhoda reports
a brisk business in second papers
during the past few days. Judge
Spooner has held court open un
til Nov. 6, for the purpose of
granting second papers and a
number of people have availed
themselves of the opportunity.
The demand is stimulated by the
opening of the reservation lands.
There are also a large number of
inquiries regarding the condi
tions under which they may be
obtained and it is probable that
there will be a number of citizen
ships granted yet before the time
expires.

SEVERSON'S
HER E IS A PRETTY
HOW-D'YE-D O
Rumor to Effect That Leech
Lake Lands May Not be
Placed on Sale.
IT IS SAID THAT THEY MUST
FIRST BE RE-ENLISTED.
The Work of Re-estimating Would
Take Until March at
the Least.
The Pioneer has it on excellent
authority that^ Chief Estimator
Ed Warren has been instructed
to hold himself in readiness to re
estimate the whole of the pine of
the Leech Lake reservation. If
this is true it indicates that the
big sale of pine on the ceded
lands of the Leech Lake and
parts of the Chippewa of the
Mississippi and Winnibigoshish
reservations may not be held on
the 5th of December as so ex
tensively advertised.
The pine to be placed on sale
December 5th is estimated at
over 200,000,000 feet and the sale
will attract the attention of the
lumbering world. Should the
sale be postponed there will be a
great hullabaloo.
tfThe Pioneer has its informa
tion from a gentleman who is not
in public life but who is in close
touch with the high officials of
the interior department in this
part of the country. This gentle
man declares that Chief Esti
mator Ed Warren has practically
been informed that an estimation
of the Leech Lake district is
necessary. Such an estimate
would take until next spring and
would probably postpone the sale
one year.
It is possible that the rumor
applies to the Leech Lake reser
vation alone and not to the Chip
pewa of the Mississippi or to the
Winnibigoshish, nevertheless the
bulk of the pine is on the Leech
Lake reservation.
Bow Wow is Missing.
A big Newfoundland dog who
was formerly the property of
Catherine Petrie, of the town of
Liberty, and who may or may
not be dead, has been causing all
sort of trouble the past two days.
Mrs. Petrie says the animal was
killed and that Samuel Hays
officiated at the execution and
last sad rites. Judge Skinvik
wrestled with the problem yes
terday morning and the hearing
at times was decidedly warm
and is said to have developed
proclivities not unlike those of
the Donnybrook fair before it
was finally brought to a close
and & change of venue taken from
Skinvik's court. This morning
Judge Reynolds sat in the mat
ter and the contending parties
were heard in court. The judg
ment of the court was that the
plaintiff should receive nothing
in the action and that the defend
ant should have judgment for the
costs. The hearing did not de
velop whether the dog was living
or dead, but for the sake of all
concerned it is hoped that the
the animal is no more.

FAIR ASSOCIATIO N
MEETS
Large and Enthusiastic At
tendance at Stockholders'
Meeting.
IMPROVEMENTS TO PROPERTY
ARE CONTEMPLATED.
Bemidji's Race Track Has Possi
bilities That Are to be
Exploited.
There was a large and enthusi
astic meeting of the stockholders
of the Beltrami County Fair As
sociation at the justice rooms at
the city hall last night. President
White officiated, several reports
were heard, the articles of incor
poration were reported filed, and
ways and means to further the
interests of the fair association,
and incidentally Bemidji, were
discussed.
The fair association is com
posed of representative business
men of the city and is entitled to
much consideration for the ad
vertising which it gives this city
and section of the state. Among
other things, it was decided to
make some imnrovements to the
fair grounds. The race track is
to be put in the best possible
condition, and the association has
assurance from some of the best
horsemen in the state that they
will winter their stock in Be
midji, as the track' is one of the
best winter tracks in the country
and will admit ot work earlier in
the spring than any track in this
section. A number of horses are
now being stabled and worked at
the track, and it is expected that
there will be a large string of
fast ones quartered there for the
winter when some of the neces
sary improvements to the prop
erty are completed. A. B. Hazen.
was elected a director to fill the
vacancy occasioned by th death
of W. F. Street.
The association has a capital
stock of $5,000 and there are at
presentabout forty stockholders
Stock certificates will be issued
to the membership some time
next week. A. M. Bagley, W. L.
Brooks, C. C. Woodward, J.
Duncalf and A. T. Wheelock were
appointed a committee to sell
additional stock and J. J. Jinkin
son, A. M. Bagley and A. B,.
Hazen constitute a committee who
will be in charge of the proposed
improvements.
The association will interest
itself in getting excursions from
various points in Minnesota to
this city next summer. There will
alsp be a race meeting, and alto
gether it plans a season's events
that will result in bringing many
people to Bemidjiand advertising
it as one of the most up-to-date
towns in northern Minnesota.
The association teels that it is
entitled to the co-operation of the
general business public and will
no doubt receive it.
Don't Support His Wife.
George Van Pelt, an engineer
in the employ of the Great North
ern, had a hearing at Cass Lake
yesterday on a charge of non
support preferred by his wife.
Van Pelt contests the charge and
brings a counter charge against
the woman which if he is able to
establish will free him of the ac
cusation. He was bound over to
the grand jury.

It
Tonight is Hallowe'en, when
according to an ancient and time
honored Scottish tradition the
grave yards give up their dead
and the spirits of the departed
roam about the earth and amuse
themselves by playing all sorts
of pranks upon the defenseless
public. Hallowe'en has always
been something of an occasion in
Bemidji and elaborate prepara
tions are being made by the
young people to celebrate the oc
casion in the usual way tonight.
Many a small boy has been busy
today hatching out dark plots
which the sunrise of tomorrow
will reveal. There will be a num
ber of ghost parties and take'n all
in all the night will be properly
observed. In past years there
has been much malicious mis
chief, but special officers will be
on duty tonight and they will do
all they can to keep the mischief
makers, within legitimate bounds.
