i W EVANGELIST IS IN TROUBLE Crookston Mah Claims He Wrote Compromising Let- ters to His Wife. GENTLEMAN IS REV. MANLY WILSON WELL KNOWN HERE. W. M. Morse, Husband of Woman Gives Him a Beating and Af- fairis Compromised. The Rev. Manly Wilson, an evangelist, wko recently con- ducted a series of revivals in Be- midji, assisted by the Rev. Con- nelly is in a very great deal of trouble at Warren, Minn., and was one of the principals to- a very sensational affair that oc- curred on the streets of that vil- lage Monday. Mr. Wilson was “openly chas- tised by a Crookston man named W. M. Morse, who accused him of writing compromising letters to his wife. Wilson had Morse arrested and he was put under ponds in the sum of $200 to keep the peace. Mr. Wiison recently conducted a series of. special meeting at| Crookston, where his efforts were rewarded by over a hun- dred conversions. From Crooks- ton he went to Warren, where he was meeting with like success. The story of the Morse man is that his wife was one of Wilson’s converts at Crookston and that after his leaving he wrote her & Jetter which fell into his hands in which was a trifle too afectionate to comply with the husband’s standard of decorum. He took particular exception toa state- ment made by Wilson to the ef- fect that he hoped the Morse woman could meet him soon at ‘Warren and this the husband freely confesses was displeasing to him. Then he lost his head and the street affair followed. Mr. Wilson has a great many Bemidji friends who will learn of the unfortunate affair with re- gret and who have sufficient con- fidence in hls integrity to believe that he has been the- vietim -of circumstances-and will be able to successfully explain away the charges of Mr. Morse. Gunders Discharged. Yesterday’s Twin City news- papers contained an announce- ment of the discharge of P. A. Gunders from the public exam- jner’s office. Mr. Gunders be- came involved in a difficulty with the examiner regarding giving out some information from the office during the absence of the examiner. Heis well known in Bemidji and spent six weeks here last summer checking up the various county otfices. Was Not a Pipe Dream. E, Q. Griffith, the versatile and gental city editor of the Brainerd Ddily Dispatch writes the Pio- neer to statethat the story told by H. H. Wheelock to the effect that several flocks of wild ducks were seen near Brainerd Sunday is the real thing. Mur. Griffith states that Wheelock had his in- formation from the Daily Dis- patch and therefore it must be “on the square”. For Unlawful Detainer. The case of Mrs. M. Pierrault vs. W. C. Kauffman is being heard in Judge Skinvik’s court this afternoon. It is an action for unlawful detainer and no de- cision will be reached today. To Go After Back Yards. The city health officers are planning a vigorous campaign against Bemidji back yards especially those in the down town districts. Insomesections of the city it has repeatedly given | notice that it wanted conditions improved with few noticable re- sults. The warm days of spring will soon uncover garbage heaps and make them a salient feature of the down town atmospheres. The board will proceed firmly and those who do not comply with its requirements as prompt- ly deemed as expedient will have the work done for them and will be compelled to pay the bills. May Have A ‘““Hop” Joint. The local police force have a strong suspicion that a ‘hop” joint is being maintained in the Chinese quarter of the down town district. They have been watching local celestials for some time but have been unable to catch them in the act of hitting the pipe. There are times, how- ever, when there are suspicious circumstances and several “rim rackings’’ have been necessary to quell an exuberance of joy at such times. Forty Inches Of Ice. Ice to a thickness of forty inches is being taken from Lake Bemidji. The average thickness is about thirty-six inches. One year ago at this time the average was a little better than thirty inches. Dope Needle Is Rusty. Yesterday’s Crookston Jour- nal contains a story to the effect that Bemidji is a wide open town again. Itis stated that all the gaming has been resumed and that one resort had been opened up with nineteen inmates at the old stand. The story was the ‘ul mination of a distorted imagina- tion augumented perhaps by a rusty dope needle, and is abso- lutely without foundation. Be- midji has mnever been closed tighter than at the present time and there is small prospect of its being the wide open terribly bad “Bemidji’’ of the days agone for- ever. . Tax Payments Good. County Treasurer French re- ports that personal property taxes are coming in quite lively at the treasurer’s office. Per- sonal property taxes become de- linquent after March 1 and a pualty of ten per cent attaches. Twenty days later taxes remain- ing unpaid are putin the hands of the sheriff for collection. Fred Tyson Reported Dead. News reached Bemidji yester- day evening of the death of Fred Tyson, which occurred the first of the week at Hot Springs, Ark. Mzr. Tyson’s last illness was, comparatively speaking, of short duration. His wife at Walker was notified of his serious condi- tion last week and was at his bed- side when the end came.

The ice on the lakes and bays is commencing to crack and this fact will save the lives of a large quant'ty of fish. An old fisher- man says that he has watched these conditions for twenry years, and that the win- ters the fish could not get the necessary amount of air the shores were strewd with dead fish in the spring. k4 Anxious to Be Firemen.
