ESCAPES HOSPITAL Patient at St. Anthony’s Escapes From Third Story Window. THINKS ENEMY WOULD APPLY TAR AND FEATHERS. Returned to Hospital This Morn- ing And Is Taken To The County Jail. A patient at St. Anthony’s hos pitallast night jumped from a third story window to the bal- cony, slid ‘down one of the posts to the ground, and after a tussle with one of the guards at the in- stitution made his escape from the groundsand came down town. The police were immediately no- titied of his escape, but in spite of a close watch he was not lo- cated until an early hour this morning, when he reappeared at the hospital and was taken to the county jail. The man has been confined at the hospital for some time, but nothing peculiar was noticed in his actions until last night when he made his singular exit from the building. When the police arrived at the hospital this morning in response to a telephone message, the man was talking with the nurses and explained that the reason for his escape was to avoid an enemy who wished to tar and feather him. He told them that he knew there was some one after him with that purpose in view, and the only way he could keep them from accomplishing their de- signs was to make his escape to the down town district of the city., It is thought that he re- mained in hiding during the en- tire night. ‘When he came back to the hos- pital this morning he was in a bad condition as a result of stay- ing out all night in the cold with only a pair of trousers, shirt and one shoe and one stocking on his person to keep him warm. The man gave his name to Judge Clark this afternoon as J. C. Keisling and judging from his appearance he had been a woods- man. At the hearing he was found to be mentally unbalanced and the court ordered him to be sent to the state asylum at Fer- gus Falls. Sheriff Bailey will leaye with the patient for that city tomorrow morring. Bulldmg at Bagley. Reports froni Bagley are tothe effect that the merchants in that city are not enjoying the usual amount of trade that they have at this time other years, and the general condition of things down there seems to be dull to a cer- tain degree. Much building is geing on however, and a num ber of mnew residences costing into the thousands are being erected. PRINCESS Grocery Co. Pickling and Canning Pears. Colorado Peaches.

CARSON, Mgr MYSTERY DEEPENS Philias Fontaine, Supposed to Have Been Murdered, Found Alive. MURDERED MAN'S NAME SAID TO BE JOE MONGEON. Identified by The Real Philias Fontaine Who Is at Grand Forks. The Mentor murder mystery is growing more and more mys- terious as time progresses and further developmentsarebrought out. The man supposed to have murdered, Philias Fontaine, was last evening located at Grand Forks alive and well in the butcher business and the author- ities immediately brought him to Crookston to view the remains which were supposed to have been his own. Fontaine who was as the A. P. dispatches say, a chum of Joseph Gillette, the man Lelieved to have committed the the murder, identified the re- mzins postively as those of Joe Mongeon, a Frenchman in well to do circumstances whose home is at Saint Pie, Province of Que- bec. Mongeon was seen at East Grand [orks with Joseph Gil- litte, his supposed slayer, by Fontaine, the man supposed to have been murdered, on last Sat- urday. Monday the pair got off at Mentor apparently for the purpose of hunting and late in the afternoon of that day the tragedy occurred. Joe Mongeon 1s now beyond a doubt the man who was killed. On his person was found a picture of a boy, ap- parently fourteen years of age, presumably his son. Itis under- stood that his wife, who has been dead for several years, resided at St. Pie and that a large num- ber of relatives now reside at that place. RIPPLE BOOMING Reports From Big Fork Hamlet Indicate That Times Are Prosperous. Ernest Burgeois and Simon Brennan, two members of the surveying crew which has been working on the townsite of Rip- ple for the past month, returned to this city this morning. They report that things are very lively in the coming metropolis. Many new dwelling houses and busi- ness places are under construc- tion, and from present indica- tions the little hamlet on the Big Fork will soon materialize into a thriving city., The people up there are anxiously awaiting the coming of the railway, as b is thought that this event will prove a material stimulus to the growth of the town. New home steaders are settling in the vici- nity of Ripple almost daily and the country round about the town is being settled up rapidly.

A N B e B Y SR I Tips of the Tongue I P s Ty M. P. DeWolf: “Thisis the queerest campaign that I ever saw. There seems to be very little interest irt the campaigu or the candidates. People must have their minds- made up for those that I see throughout this section do not seem to care to discuss politics at all.” W. B. Sherman: “The woods- wen who came in yesterday and today are the best looking of all the boys who have come back thus far. We could use a good many more than are here, how- ever, and I look tosee large num- bers of them arriveing daily in a short time.” I. B. Olson: ‘‘Arrangements for the rally here Tuesday even- ing and at Blackeuck Monday evening are complete. We are planning to have all the candi- dates go up to Blackduck with Mr. Reese and present indica- tions are that both meetings will be pronounced successses.’’ W. G. Schroeder: ‘The rail- way matter is one that Bemidji cannot afford to neglect and there should be a good attendance of business men at the meeting this evening. All that is necessary for Bemidji to secure the road is to act promptly.’ Play last evening was splend- idly patronized and the treasury of the St, Phillip’s church is con- sequently much richer today. I am much pleased with the way the many people turned out.” Ed Kaelble: I think they will have a hard time to get a jury that will convict Doc. Ames. The old man has done too much good in Minneapolis to be sent to the pentientiary and ‘Doc’ has a warm spot in the hearts of the people down there.” Rent Case On. | The case of M, E. Ibertson vs, | Hays & Verity, in which the; plaintiff seeks to enforce the pay- ment of rent for the building now occupied by the Sentinel office, is in progress at the city hall to- day before Judge Pendergast. | Little testimony has been intro- duced and the time has been taken up almost entirely by the pleas of the attorneys. George W. Campbell represents the plaintiff and Bailey & McDonald the defendants. ! Will Be Open About Nov. 1.
