The details of the stor y are as follows: “There is m the city a deaf and dumb printer who has been out of woik for some time. The trade is- slack at present, and despite all his efforts the printer who labors under this serious handicap has been unable to secure steady work. In the meantime his wife, also a mute, has been doing washing to keep the family pot boiling. Now comes the stern parent, ineyitable in all well-regulated melodramas and in this caseim- personated by an irascible old Cerman gentleman regarded as reckless eno\wh to make good any threat. From him this mmmng the mute-printet-husband received a note declaring that unless he goes to work at once and supports his wife without the necessity of her working out, the writer of the note will kill him on sight. This interesting communica- tion was talked oyer this after- noon between: the husband and wife and a few advisors and as a result an application has-been made to place the writer of the note under bonds to keep the peace. These proceedings will come up later. The printer-in-question—is-re: garded asa good workman and not deserving ‘the insinuations of drunkenness contained ‘in the note of warning. His wife is standing by him in the matter, and the probabilities are that the irate parent will be called upon dy the local courts to retract his threats and be good, ‘while his| daughter and son in~law get along | as best they can between prinb» ing and washing, 5 ¢ ‘Card of Thanks. Miss Fern Spencer, the winrter in the Pioneer voting contest, desires to thank the people_of WALKER IN THE VAN Miss Spencer, of Walker, Leads Out Town Contest by Narrow Margin. IS A REMARKABLY EVEN ONE. CONTEST The Rivalry Among Outside Towns Adds Largely to the Pioneer Subseription List. The vote today: Emma Spencer, Walker. Nellic M. Brewster, ‘Bag nstrike, if Julia O Brien, Cass e With the announc the out of town coutest for a trip to St. Louis will close next week Thursday there will undoubtedly be renewed interest manifested, although each.: town has hecn pretty active for some time for its favorite. Walker today puts Miss Spencer at the head of the list, casting over 2,000 votes for her Bagley, who has held first pl(l(,(’ for several days. Miss Spencer’s lead; however, is a very narrow one, only twcntv two votes, while Miss Néss, of Tenstrike, is very close at hand. In fact the con- test among the out of town candi- dates is remarkable for its even- ness and it would ‘be like trying to find aneedle in.a haystack to attempt to pick the winner. Tnasmuch as the votes for the out of town candidates are al- most exclusively on subscription the vote necessarily increases more slowly than did the Bemidji vote. "The contest is adding sub- scriptions to the Pioneer. at a rapid rate. An illustration of the way in which it is sending the Pioneer to all parts of northern Minnesota is exampled in a list of sixteen names from Fisher, ten miles west of Crookston, which was added on Wednesday of this week. This is but one instance Zl.ll(] numerous names are being added at all the nearby towns as well as in the towns which have candidates.
