Princess Grocery Co ANNUAL MEETING Bemidji School District Will Hold Regular Yearly Meet- ing Tomorrow Night. ATTENDANCE PROMISES TO BE UNUSUALLY LARGE. Principal Business Will Be The Election of Members of The Board of Education. The annual school meeting of Independent school district No. 1 will be held at the school house tomorrow evening and consider- able interest has been worked up in connection with the election of members of the board of educa- tion. Two members are to be elected to succeed D. C. Smyth and George Tanner. Mr. Tan- ner, it is understood, has an nounced that he does not desire re-election, but Mr. Smyth is a candidate, Thus far there have xln\olnpod three other candidates, City Attorney Russell, Attorney Graham M. Torrance and T. J. Andrews. All three gentlemen are well known to the people of Bemidji and are well fitted by education and experience for the position. The ladies of the city are tak- ing an active interest in the mat- ter. Carriages have been- se- cured and an effort will be made by the friends of the various can- didates to get out a full vote. It is a matter of gratification that so large an interest is being taken in the election. Aside from the fact that three-fifths of all the taxes raised in Bemidji goes for the support of the public ~ schools the character and condi- tion of the schools is of the ut- most importance to every citizen and especially to those who have children. Every parent should attend the meeting tomorrow night. The meeting will be held at 7 o’clock at the school house and will last one hour. The time is short and voters wust be pu)m]\tlv on hand. GAME TOMORROW Sauk Center and Bemidji Ball Teams Piay on the Home Grounds Tomorrow. The Sauk Centre ball team ar- rives in the city this evening over the Great Northern for two games with the home team. The first will be ‘played tomorrow afternoon and the second Sunday afternoon. The Sank Center club is ac knowledged the fastest in the section of the state from which it comes and the Bemidji team has been playing excellent ball for the past month, With Sauk Center come two of the erack amatuer pitchers of the state, Gilchrist and Dovy. The latter was with Royalton last yvear and has something of a reputation in this vicinity. Witt will be in the box for the home team tomorrow and Emer- son will pitch Sunday’s game. A liberal patronage should be ac- corded both game The home team has never received the sup- port it should and as tomorrow’s game ssuredly one that will be close and interesting there is no room to stint the patronage on the ground of an indifferent exhibition. Arrangements have been made wivh the local draymen to carry persons to and from the grounds for ten cents each way. PRINCESS Grocery Co. M. E. CARSON, Manager.

WILL MAKE AN EFFORT TO SET MATTER RIGHT. Department Erroneously Enter- tained Impression He Was In- terested in Townsites, E. L. Warren, of Cass Lake, custodian of the tensections upon the Cass Lake Indian reservation and fo rly chief examiner of Chippewa Indian lands, who was recently deposed by the Interior department, passed through the city last evening on his way to Baudette, where he will straighten out matters in connec- tion with his summary dismissal. Mr. Warren, when approached by arepresentative of the Pioneer, refused to give out anything for publication, saying simply that he had been summarily deposed and that time would tell whether or not he would be reinstated, after his explanations to the de- partment. From a friend of Mr. Warren’s, however, it was learned that his dismissal was the result of an erroneous impression which the Interior department received re- garding Mr. Warren’s financial connection with the townsites of Baudette and Richards. The department, from letters which ‘Warren wrote private individuals and which were forwarded to the acting secretary, came to the conclusion that Warren was grinding his own axe with the power and authority of the posi- tion. As a result his dismissal was recommended and an- nounced several days ago. It develops,however, accor dmv to Mr. Warren’s fuends, that ho has at no time since accepting office been financially interested inany townsite proposition. His enemies, however, took advan- tage of several letters which were written previous to his ac- ceptance of office and which were afterwards countermanded, to plan his overthrow. The letters were forwarded to Washington and the dismissal several days ago resulted. Explanations will be made by Mr. Warren and it is quite prob- ablethat the entire difficulty will be adjusted and he reinstated in his position within the next few weeks, LOGGING ROAD Minneapolis & Rainy River Rail- way Company Files Articles of Incorporation. Articles of incorporation were filed yesterday with the secre- tary of the state of the Minnea- polis & Rainy River Railway company, with a capital stock of $1,000,000, and with prominent lumbermen of Chicago, Minnea- polis and Muskegon, Mich., in- terested in the proposed new line. Authority is given the new company by its articles of in cor- poration to build a line of rail- way from Minneapolis through the counties of Hennepin, Ram- sey, Anoka, Isanti Kanabee, \/Illle Lacs, Aitkin, Crow Wing, and ltasca, and thence through Itasca county to the Rainy river, in Itasca county. The right is given’ to build a branch line from a point in sec- tion 30, township 59, range 26, to a convenient point on the Big Fork river, and this is probably the part of the railroad that will be built first, and will be used as a logging road. William T. Joyce, Chicago, is named as president; H. C. Akely, Minneapolis, vice president; Franklin G. Gerhard, Minnea- *| polis, general manager; Charles H. Hackley, Muskegon, Mich., Minneapolis, are the other two dircetors named 5¢|in the articles of incorporation. IS A CANDIDATE *| L. C. Simons, of Red Lake Falls Aspires to Legisla- tive Honors. L. C. Simons, of Red Lake “| Falls is a candidate to succeed himself from this legislative dis- trict according to a friend in Be- midji. Mr. Simons represented the district in the last state leg- islature and his friends say for him that he made a good record and is entitled to another term Very little interest has so far been taken in the legislative nominations, but {it is probable that Mr. Simons will not_ have L the field al hims HEIR TO BIG FORTUNE Mrs. J. A. Wonzor, Colored Falls Heir to Immense “Fortune In Indiana. TITLE TO VALUABLE LANDS IN GAS BELT DISTRICT. Important Litigation Just De- cided Makes Her Independ- ently Wealthy For Life. Mrs J. A. Wonzor, colored, an old resident of this city is heir to a fortune of $85,000 by the deci- sion of an Indiana court affecting the title to valuable lands in ‘he gas belt district of Indiana. She was yesterday informed of her good fortune through a rela- tive in the east and the story is causing much gomment about the city today. Mrs. Wonzor could not be seen this afternoon to verify the report but there is little doubt as to its authenticity although the details cannot be learned today. It appears that Mrs. Wonzor’s people many years ago settled on a piece of land in Indiana where one of the richest gas wells in the state was afterwards discovered. Through some trans- fer or transaction the title be- came clouded, perhaps through a mineral reservation clause and after the discovery of the gas well litigation was begun which has kept the case before the courts of Indiana for more than ten years past. The decision just rendered by the supreme court is final and established the clear title of the woman to the property. It is said to be worth between $80,000 and $100,000 and the figures that obtain in the story which is in general circulation today are $85,000. Mrs, Wonzor has been a r951 dent of this city for a number of years. She was at one time employed as cook in a local restaurant and later conducted a dairy here. Last winter she be- came the wife of J. A. Wonzor. The family are respected and have many friends in this city to whom the news of their good fortune will be something of a surprise. IS A TRAVELER Godfrey Nelson, Hubba?d County Homesteader Has Had Many Experiences. Godfrey Nelson, a homesteader from Northern Hubbard county, who was a member of the last grand jury in Hubbard county, was a yisitor at the court house this morning and incidentally called on Judge Spooner. Mr. Nelson is an old time sailor and traveler and his experience covers someé very interesting events. He was with Stanley, the Great African explorer in one of his trips to the headwaters of the Nile and is able to relate many interesting incidents of the trip. His sailing days covered a trip from New York to a South American port one time when the ship was wrecKed and all ¢he crew except four of which Mr. Nelson was one went down toa watery grave. The party of which he was a member put off from the sinking shipina life boat and were several days with- out food or water in the West Indies. One of the sailors a Russian Finn, became crazed by thirst and drawing a knife threatened the life of his com- panions. A fierce fight followed and the Finn was knocked from the boat with an oar to prevent him doing violonce to the others. His body had scarcely touched the water until it was devoured by a shark. Despite the vicissitudes of his early life Mr. Nelson is still hale and hearty and one of the best citizens of Hubbard county. MATCH MADE Cutler And Gaudette Two Local Fighters Go For Ten Rounds.
