Official County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR 1804 APRIL ~ 1904 16 THE exceptions only prove the rule that if you want anything in this world you have got to hustle for it, and the maxim is just as true of Bemidji and Beltrami county as it is of any individual. Bemidji has had a mighty lot of advertising since its begii’ming but very little has been made known of its real resources. A good deal has been said about its Indians and its sand but not over- much about its arablé lands and its tributary tracts of fine hard '‘Woods, What Bemidji and Bel- trami county need isa systematic advertising of its solid resources. The text is a fruitful one; we need to get busy upon it, WHEN taxes get to be five per cent we groan under the burden yet we keep right on taxing our- selves many times five per cent for things which we really do not want just as unconsciously as tliey did in old Ben Franidin’s day. Possibly this is where the real leak is. If we could quit being wasteful in the matter. of private taxation -we might find a way to.stop up the leaks in pub- lic taxation. Minnesota has madea remark- able record of reform in child labor, and the state promises to show a better record than any other in the union. Child labor, despite all the tremendous efforts * put forth against it, is one of the most menacing of the eyils of our present industrial life, and it is gratifying to know that Minne- sota is doing so well ifi” supress- ing it. Now that Van Sant has quit running for office he is getting to be a great -man; they say. 'Twas ever thus, Nothing in most men’s lives quite equals their funeral sermons.

Insane Jealousy and Excessive Drinking the Cause of the Awful Tragedy. Cass Lake, Minn., April 2.— District court for Cass county will eonvene at-Walker,the county seat, on April 19, and Sheriff Hardy has been in Cass Lakeand vicinity during the past week, summoning jurors and subpjena- ing witnesses for the important crimminal and civil suits that will be tried at the forthcoming term. It is expected that Judge Marshall M. Spooner of Bemidji will preside, as Judge McClena- han was on the bench at the fall term, and by rotation it would be Judge Spooner’s term. for the grand jury to consider is the case of William Chounard, who was bound oyer to the grand jury on the charge of murder in the first degree having shot his wifein a brothel at Cass Lake, on the night of Jan. 26 last. The shooting was not instantly fatal, and Chounard was arrested and confined in the yillage lock -up at Cass Lake until after the woman’s death, which occured in a hospi- tal at Duluth, two nights after- wards. A coroner’s jury held an inquest over the remains and found that the deceased came to her death from revolver shots fired by her husband, and Chou- nard was given a hearing before a local justice, charged with mux- der in the first degree. He was bound over to wait the action of the grand jury at the spring term of court, and later taken to the county jail and was placed 1n charge of Sheriff Hardy, where he isnow. * Chounards crime was ‘exceed- ingly cold-blooded, and just what defense he will set up is a matter of conjecture, For some time previous to the shooting Chou- nard and his wife had been living in a house of ill repute in Cass Lake. _Mrs. Chounard being the landlady of the place and her was fairly good looking, and had several admirers, which fact caused Chounard to become ex- tremely jealous of her. For a month previous to Jan. 2 Chou- nard had quarreled nearly every day with his wife and upbraided her for what he considered was undue familiarity with other men. These differences led to dislike of each other toa certain extent, and on several occasions, it is said, Chounard had promised his wife a “good licking”. The husband also began drinking heavily, and it was noticed that he was under the influence of liguor a good deal of the time On Tuesday evening, Jan.. 20, Mrs. Chounard came over town m the house where she was an inmate and visited several places in the village.~ At one of the places she was met by Chounatrd, who upbraided her, accused her of unfaithfulness, and promised hera‘_flicking when he” got her home”. It was noted that he was__much _intoxicated, —Chou- nard and his wife left for the house shortly ‘after” 10 o’clock; and about 11 the shooting oc- curred. From the testimony of witnessés, given at” the inquest, Chounard and the woman became inyolved in a quarrel behind the bar of the resort, and he pulled a revolver and shot her three times. After the first shot was fired Mrs. Chounard asked her husband to remember their little girl, but he was unmoved by the appeal; and fired two more shots, all three of which took effect and Chounard was much intoxicated, he cooly walked out of the room, concealed the weapon with which he had done the shooting,-and-vre- turned to the house. Mrs. Chouard, after the first shot, started for the front door, in an effort to get out, and the second and third shots—were fired as she was fleeing to a place of safety. She went into an ad- joining house, where were two physicians, who attended to her wounds. The shots ‘had been fired very deliberately, and at vital portions of the woman’s anatomy, denoting the intention of Chounard to kill his wife. The next morning after the shooting, when Chounard’s wrath had cooled, and he began to- realize the enormity of the crime he had committed, he cried like a child, and stated thathe was sorry.

William Chounard was born 26 yearsago, at Gravelville, a small station'near Lit!'c “ulls, his fath- er being Peter Chounard, known in that vicinity as -Cross-eyed Pete,” and his-mother being Esther Sweeney, cousin of his father. Peter Chounard drifted ~laway from his wifé, who took up with a man named Darby, but she afterwards died. -After-his mother’s death William “accom- panied Darby to Brainerd, where he began playing pianoin a house of - prostitution, and. where he met and subsequently married the woman ““Dora,’”’ whom he shot, and for whose murder he will be tried for his life. One child, a little girl, who is now about- six years old, was born to the couple. They came to Cass Lake three years ago, taking charge of a house here belonging to Mike Garrity. Since that time they have lived here, and no one was especially interested in them, although Chounard was once be- fore arrested, being implicated in a forgery here.
