ONLY AN OLD LOVER But Mr. E. W. Melvin Thinks He Should Have Mrs. Mondeau’s Money. PECULIAR REQUEST OF A SAN JOSE; CAIFORNIA;-MAN. He Loved Mrs. Minnie Mondean in-Lifo-and Sent Her Por- trait With Whiskers.” Prof. B. W. Melvin, of the “No Medicine Club,” San Jose, Cali- fornia, is only an old sweetheart of Mrs. Minniec Mondeau, well known in this city and now de- ceased, but in a letter to the ad- __ministrator —of —the—Mondeau estate he states that he believés himself entitled to his share of the dead woman’s estate that is now in probate and indicates that he will make an effort to have his claims recognized. Mrs. Mondeau formerly con- ducted a Minnesota ayenue hotel in this city and died in Wisconsin last December. —Since herdeath it _has been -developed that she had advertised for a husband ina matrimonial paper and that a number had answered her ap- peal. Among others was Prof. Melvin, a gentleman of culture, widely traveled and with the reputation of being influential at his home in San Jose. The woman’s death was very sudden and was due to heart failure and “Melvin-was not-advised—of it—un- til several months after it oc- curred. The Christmas mails to this city brought a paclkage of flowers to Mrs. Mondeau, mailed from a Cuban health resort and little tokens of the professor’s |? regard for the dead woman have been coming ever since. Yesterday came a letter in which he requested the return of a photograph which he had-sent Mrs. Mondeau, the only one he had ever sat for. “It’s the one with whiskers,”’ says the letter, ¢and I want it returned and shall always cherish it.” Tater in the same letter a formal claim is made for a shave of:the woman’s estate. The letter has been answered and Mr. Melvin will be. advised that as he is only “an old sweet- heart” he cannot hope to shax the estate there was no will and the probate laws of the coun- try provide only for ‘heirs® who bear some degree of relationship. —Baumbach—in-Town: Hon. W. S. Baumbach, of Wa- dena, was a Bemidji visitor yes- terday tolook after his various interests here. Mr. Baumbach is much interested in Bemidji’s future and regards it as one of the most promising towns in this section of the country. He long been prominent’ in politi in this section and is regarded as one of the most influential Re- publicans in Wad county. Speaking of the leg down there Mr., Baumbach ye stated that he was contident ghat Judge Asher Murray, one of W'Ldmm s oldestand best citizens will be nominated for the legisla- ture over Wm. Dower.

Garris, who for some time past has been manager of the local telephone exchange for the Iron Range Telephone Co. and has also had supervision of much *of its. territory in this vicinity has severed his connec tion with the company to take a better situation with the Electric lighting ycompany at Grand Rapids.
