i SMALL BOYS HAVE THE HABIT School Board Discover De- plorable State of Affairs at the City Schools. COFFIN-NAIL HAS-MANY DEVO- TEES AMONG BEMIDJI BOYS. Local Tobacco Dealer Questions Justice of Fine Imposed For Selling to Minor Friday. W. A. Casler of the local board of education has been doing a little investigating into the -mys- terious ways of/the small boy at the Bemidji public schools, aided by the teachers, a deplorable state of affairs has been devel- oped and a well known tobacco dealer paid a fine of $25 and costs in Judge Reynolds court yester- day afternoon because one of his salesman sold cigarrettes to a small boy. i Bemidji small boys are quite as crafty as the average Ameri- can small boys, there be those who say that in many respects he has the world beat and sad to relate like the small boy at pres- ent generation in almost- every town and willage in the country he has the cigarette habit. For some time past the janitor at the city schools has been find- ing unmistakable evidences of youthful profligacy around the school building. Half consumed coffin nails have been found in the basement and by places of - the building.— There has ~been| grave reason to believe that play- ing ma1bles was not the only di- vertion in which the boys in- dulged at recess and a small boy caught red handed with a *tailor made” yesterday afternoon es- tablishes the authenticity of all suspicions. The boy was put through the sweatbox ordeal and confessed where he had purchased the tobacco. W. A. Casler, a mem- ber of the board of education promptly swore out a warrant the dealer who sold the cigarettes and Judge Reynolds imposed a fine of $25 and costs. - The conthlou is”the first in PRINCESS Grocery Co.

Last night he had an examina- tion was adjudged insane and his disposition will be fixed by the board of ‘control as he is a non- resident. Miller’s case is an unfortunate one, He simply appears to have lost his mind and can remember nothing. Duringallof Thursday’s snow storm’and all of Thursday night he wandered about in the woods near Nymore, Both of his feet are badly frozen and he is in a bad condition, Dr. Blakes- lee is attending him for the pres- ent. Havn’t Cut Us Out. C. R. Martin has received a letter from D. J. Laxdahl, of the Northern league stating that Be- midji has not been cut out en- tively from the visiting list of the Northern league. Mr. Laxdahl states that arrangements can no doubt be made for two or three league games here during the liquor dealers conyention and Mr. Lycan, of Crookston, is ex- pected to visit the city next week to look over the situation and de- cide how many more games the city is entitled to and can give adequate patronage. Admmislrator Appointed. The probate court today heard a petition for the appointment of an administrator in the estate of Jannett S: Day. Sylvester Reeves was appointed. The esti- mated value of the-estate which consists for the most part of per- sonal property isin the neighbor- hood of $900. To Collect S. Sheriff Bailey expects' to start on his tax ccllecting tour about the 21st. All delinquents will tics t be served with notices. The list this year is not any larger this city, the fine was a heavy one and the dealer protests. He is one of the city’s best business | 214 BELTRAMI AVE, men and while not directly res- ponsible the tobacco -was D chased at his store, Tobacco dealers are very care- ful about selling to small boys but the small boy is of an ingen- ious turn of mind and he is pro- litic of excuses and stories to the effect that he is making the pur- chase fir others and the dealer too often falls a victim to his wiles-and is made to suffer for it. It is quite safe to say that it will be more difficult for the small boy to obtain tobaccoin Be midji in- the future than in the past and if the maftter were closely followed no doubt ever dealer in town could be convicted of the same offense, though in the majority of cases the saleis made. in good faith and not with the knowledge that the. tobacco is purchased by the boy for his own use. * County Attorney Loud states that the sale of tobacco to small boys must be stopped and in”the future all cases that come to his attention will be prosecuted.

THOROUGH™ INVESTIGATION IS To BE MADE BY COMPANY Spotters Who Have Been Working On the Line Gather Informa- tion For Bond Company. Great Northern railroad circles are all torn up by the action of the bonding company which bonds the passenger conductors in causing the suspension from service yesterday of thirteen conductors working out of Grand Forks and Minot. The bonding company is re- spousible to the railroad company for the uprightness of its passen- ger conductors and a force of Pinkerton detectives who were sent over the line and recently reported are said to have secured evidence thata number of well known railroad men are taking more than a working interest in ‘the welfares of the road. Several discharges it is said will result but some of the men who are under suspension will no donbt get their old positions back. The bond company which has the bonding of the Great North® ern conductors has long been un- popular with the men and in-the past its charges have more than once . found" . to be without foundation. Some of the oldest men in the service of the road out .of Grand Forks and Minot are affected and the out- come of the investigation at the general office will be awaited with-| a very great deal of interest.
