" AN AUTOPSY WILL BE HELD * Dettdker Suicide at Ten- strike” Will Be Cleared Up Tomorrow. CORONER HENDERSON DEEMS AN AUTOPSY NECESSARY. Man_xignsation‘al Rumors in Cir- " catation, But Little Evidence Against Suicide Theory. An autopsy over the remains of Wm. Dettdker, who suicided at Tenstrike Sunday morning by hanging, will be held at the Nay- lor undertaking rooms in this 1t& tomorrow, The body was brought to this city this morning and the autopsy will be held as ‘soon as all the necessary ar- ~ rangements can be made. Coroner Henderson visited Tenstrike last night and deemed the inquest necessary in view of all the circumstances.and of the many unsubstantiated rumors in connection with the affair which have gained wide circulation. It has been stated that the sui- cide was impossible in the man- ner in which it was committed, and this is the one fact which the auntopsy will clear up. The rope by which the body was sus- pended was a common. cotton clothes line, and its entire length serted that Dettdker could not have taken his own life with it. This theory, however, has been quite effectually disproven al- ready. ; Fermented Four-Dollar Jag. The classification of a jag ac- .. cumulated by John Awmbly last night was_the chief business in Judge Pendergast’s court this morning. After examination it was developed that the load was of the fermented four-dollar kind. John ‘ paid the fine, the court handed out some good advice and it was all over at that. Arranges Side Degree: - J. W. Speelman is in_town from Buena,Vista and he an- nounces that he is preparing a side degree for the brother Odd Feliows of this city when next they wisit Buena Vista.' The locallodge had intended to visit ~Mr. and Mrs. Speelman at the Hotel Summit last mght and all arrangements were made for their reception. The hospitality of the Speelman home is not ex- ceeded "anywhere in Beltrami county and ‘Mr‘ Speclman did himself proud on the arrange- ments last night. Every- thing was in readiness for the reception of the guests, but they did not materialize. At the last moment it was found that the trip which was eagerly anticipated was impossible and that regrets were quite as imnos- sible. Several of the party were unavoidably detained by business emergencies and business at court and the visit will be post- poned until some time.in.the. fu- ture. e Turtle River Marriage. Miss Dora Hursh and Lou Smith were married yesterday at the home of Mr. and MTs. James Duff at Turtle River. The wedding was a quiet home cere- mony and only intimate friends and relatives were present. The bride was attended by her sister and Mr, Wright officiated as best, man. The marriage ceremony was performed by- Rev. Benja- mine Irons. — An-elaborate wed- ding dinner was afterwards served which did entire credit to the well known hospitality of the Duff home. The bride and groom are both well known and popular Turtle River young people and will make that villiage - their fu- ture home. They will go to housekeeping at once and begin their wedded life ‘with the best wishes of many friends. He Likes the Country. Ex-Judge McGee of Minneapo- lis, who is in attendance at the spring term of the district court is paying his first visitto the pine country of Northern Minne- sota. The judge is very favora: bly impressed with the- country and announces that he plans to spend a summer yacation in the pine woods up this way next summer. The judge is the owner of acres at Lake Minne- tonka that are among the most beautifully located and aristo- cratic at the famous resort but he believes that the natural re- source of this conntry for ;sum- mer resort purposes cannot be beaten in the state. Prospects Bright. F. G. Delameter, representing the Minneapolis sash and door factory which is anxious to come to Bemidji, returned to Minne- apolis last night. Mr. Delameter spent yesterday with the com- mittee appointed by the mass| meeting in calling on the busi- ness men of the city; and sayshe feels very much encouraged over the voluntary support the pro- ject is receiving. He expects to return to the city soon with an- other representative of the firm and the matter will be definitely disposed of at that time.. ., The sales department at Lud- ington’s hardware store has been materially enlarged by an addi- tion.
