A HOMESTEADE
IS I N TROUBL E
Jessie Freestone, Well Known
in Bemidji, Victim of Un
scupulous Grafters.
SMOOTH SCHEME TO DEFRAUD
HIM OUT OF VALUABLE CLAIM.
Arrested and Jailed For Tress
passing on His Own
Property.
Jesse Freestone, the son of a
gentleman, who is well known in
Bemidji and formerly conducted
the City hotel here, is in a very
great deal of trouble at Grand
Rapids and if all reports are
true he has been the victim of
one of the biggest and most un
scrupulous jobs ever perpetrated
on a homesteader in this section.
Some time ago Freestone filed
on a claim in the Koochiching
country. It was one of the finest
pieces of land in that country
and had one of the largest tracts
of valuable pine anywhere In the
country. Freestone built his
cabin and duly made the filing
when his good fortune became
the envy of a couple of land
sharks and they immediately set
about it to beat him out of his
interests in the claim. The
story is that they went to Grand
Rapids where another man
named Freestone lives whose
initials are the same as that of
Jesse. They asked him about
the land and succeeded in con
vincing him that some cruiser
had come along, found the land
to be valuable out of the ordinary
and had made a filing for him.
Freestone at Grand Rapids was
readily persuaded that this was
the case. They then induced
him to sign a relinquishment.
With this they proceeded back to
the Koochiching country and in a
few days Mr. Freestone was
surprised upon returning to his
cabin to find his goods set out
side and the padlock and staple'
he had put on taken off and re*
placed by another. He was
quite ignorant of the transaction
that had been had in the mean
time and he was surprised a few
days later to be placed under ar
rest and taken to Grand Rapids
for housebreaking. His attorney
succeeded in having him re
leased under habeas corpus pro
ceedings. The treatment ac
corded Freestone has very
thoroughly aroused his friends
and they propose to assist him in
fighting the case to the limit and
prosecuting the grafters who
have gotten him in all the
trouble.
Married Last Night.
Miss Clara Anderson and Ben
jamin Barnes were married at
the Baptist parsonage last night
at live o'clock by Rev. Broom
tield. Mr. and Mrs. Barnes will
make their future home in Be
midji and begin their wedded
life with the best wishes of
many friends. Another mar
riage performed by Rev. Broom
held last night united Miss Nellie
M. Titus and Bonnie M. Lyons.
The wedding occurred at the
of the bride's parents.
Both the young people are well
and favorably known in Bemidji
and are popular with a wide
circle of friends.

county is ended and Miss Ethel
McTaggart of this city and Miss
Myra Mead of Blackduck are the
winners.
The contest has excited more
interest than a political campaign
and the finish was fully as lively.
Miss McTagart's friends made
a very active campaign in her
behalf and thjs morning the
friends of the other two candi
dates saw that they had begun
too late to fight desperately. They
therefore combined their forces
and threw all possible votes to
Miss Villeman. It was too late
however andMissMcTaggert won
by a small majority over both
competitors.
The contest in this city was a
most friendly one and demons
trates that each candidate has a
host of friends.
The most spectacular part of
the contest was the fight up the
north line which finally resulted
in a contest for supremacy be
tween Blackduck and Tenstrike.
The contest was an unequal one
but Tenstrike made a most mag
nificent fight and all but won out.
Miss Mead's margin over Miss
Cyr is but 230 votes. That Miss
Cyr should make so gallant a run
is the highest possible compli
ment to the zeal of her friends,
the loyalty of Tenstrike and the
popularity of Miss Cyr. In
recognition of the fine showing
made by Miss Cyr and Tenstrike
against such heavy odds the
Pioneer has decidedtosend Miss

cent stock of clothing as we are offering you

Miss Mead's friends at Black

both successful candidates that
they richly deserve their good
fortune.
The Pioneer party will consist
of seven people and will leave
Bemidji Saturday noon, reaching
Duluth at 6:30. Dinner will be
served immediately at theSpauld
dng hotel and after that Ben Hur.
The party will return the follow
ing morning.
Miss Mead will be accom
panied by Miss Letha Carleton
of Blackduck. Miss McTaggart,
will take with her the Misses
Gertrude Smith, Dora Hazen and
Mabel McTaggert.
The contest which closed to
day at noon has excited the most
general interest throughout Bel
trami county for the past week.
For the past three days it has
been the great topic of conversa
tion. It has proved a wonderful
advertisement for the Pioneer
and makes the Pioneer more pro
nounced than ever as the leading
paper of this part of the state.
It has materially extended the
list of subscribers to both the
daily and weekly editions of the
paper, this being particularly
true of the north line where
scores of subscriptions have
been added at Tenstrike, Turtle
River, Blackduck, Northome and
the other towns.
