CAME TO BEMIDJI TO DIE DL L Tl ¢ Coast Physicians Said Dr. G. A. Jones Was Suffering From Tuberculosis. CARRIED FROM TRAIN TO CITY HOTEL ON COT:. What the Erigid 0Ozone -of the Pine annty Did for a Consumptive. One month ago Dr. G. A. Jones, quite well known in this city, came from Portland, Oregon, to Bemidji to die. He was carried from the Great Northern depof to the ity hotel on a cot; his/ friends shook their heads and said it was but a question of days until the end would-come,— This morning Dr. Jones is down town and in a short time he . believes that he will have entirely regained " his former robust ‘health. Incidentally he is mak- ing the statement that northern Minnesota is the best climate in the world for consumptives and he considers his rapid recovery nothing short of marvelous. Before coming to Bemidji Dr, G ——— DIED YESTERDAY £\ o TR SR James Doran, 01d Resident of Be- '/ midji Succgmbs to Bright’s «.Disease. ‘ ) James Doran, one of the oldest residents of Bemidji died yester- day morning after a’lingering ill- ness of Bright's disease.

It began shortly be- Doran’s death has been anticiy|fore seven o'clock Saturday even- ‘| pated, but his-condition for some- time was-reassuring, and ‘it was believed that he wculd suryive for several months yet. Satur- day night he began to sin§ rapidly and his death occurre shortly after midnight. Mzr. Doran . came to Bemidji with his family about six: years ago and was formerly engaged in business here and-was highly respectéd by a wide ' circle ‘of friends' and acquaintances. He was about sixty years of age and leaves'a widow, two daughters and aison; Miss Prudence Doran, Mrs. P:iJ. O’Leary, of this city and Charles Doran, who is em- ployed as egent for the Missabe & Northern at Virginia: i The funeral will leave the house tomorrow morning at nine o’clock . and Philip’s Catholic church.

County Auditor Griffith and Chairman King of the board of Jones had four attendant physi- ' cians and all assured bim that he was in the last stages of tuber- culosis. For eighteen days he lay ill in @ Portland hospital and his death’ was daily expected. * His physicians stated to him that the pine woods of northern Min- nesota was the only place he could hope for reiief and he un- dertook the journey to this city with but faint hope thathe would ever reach his destination alive. The doctor and, his family are at present stopping at the home of his father-in-law, Mr. Helmer, a short distance from Bemidji. He is gaining strength daily and i8 beginning to feel quite himself agam, : Dr. Jones’ case is regarded as bearing out. the statement that he pine county of the northern section of the state 'is the.-only climate where consumptives can hope for recovery. His case is only one of a numberof recoveries almost as sensational which have occurred during the winter. He spends as much time as he can in the open air, sleeps in & cold room and undergoes ‘all the exposure that he can temperately and isiimproving in health daily, Biggest Dog in State. J.
