ACCIDENT OCCURRED YESTER- DAY AT WHITE'S CAMP. Man Believed to Have Some Relatives Near Mc- Intosh. The second woodsman to suffer death from a falling tree gave up his life yesterday afternoon at one of R. E. White’s camps about two miles out of Kelliher. The unfortunate man’s name was Gunder Watson. He was sawing a tree which fell, striking another tree and breaking it down. The top of the second tree struckk Watson on the head, crushing his skull. The dead man was brought to Bemidji this morning and now lies at Naylor’s undertaking establishment. There was absolutely nothing upon the man to indicate where was his home or where any»rela- tives or connections lived. A rumor that he had friends at Mec- Tntosh, however, led to the send- ing of a telegram to that place and late this afternoon an answer was received that Watson had relatives living a few miles out of the city and the telegram was sent there, but nothing has yet been heard in return. Mr. White will go to Kelliher tonight to look into the matter and to ascertain if possible some- thing in regard to Watson’s friends. A Business Banquet.

No such accusations have ever been made, but the repeated publication here of idle street gossip has resulted n this wide slander on Bemidji’ good name.
