CLOSE TO KILLING Traveling Man Mistakes His Own Daughter for a Deer. MISSES HER BY ONLY A FEW INCHES. ® A Narrow Escape From a Dread- ful Tragedy in the North Woods. A traveling man who spent Thanksgiving Day at the Mark- ham was so thankful that he could not keep the case of it to himself, although he refused to give any name for publication. Onlya few days ago, near his own home in Wisconsin, whileout deerhunting he had a narrow escape from kill- ing his own daughter. Hervelates the incident as follows: “My wife, little 12 year old girl and I went out deer hunting about twenty miles from our home the otherday and made our head- quarters in an old log shanty which was owned by a friend of mine. My wife and daughter re- mained at the shanty to prepare the midday meal while I should- ered my rifle and started out in pursuit of game. I had been gone something more than an hour and got somewhat turned around, in fact, did not know that 1 was anywhere in the vicinity of the shack, when suddenly my at- tention was attracted toa moving object a little distance away. It looked for all the world like a deer and I thoughtlessly blazed away. Instantly I saw the figure stand upright only to discover that it was my little girl who had wan- dered away from the shack ‘just to see what she could see,” Well, now you can imagine that my heart went up in my mouth and that it remained there for some little time. The bullet I ascer- tained had passed within six inches of her head and splita twig of a tree, squarely in two. Ye gods! Iwill never get over that shockas long as I live. If that bullet had killed my little girl 1 believe Ijwould have sent another through my own head. It was certainly a narrow escape and taught me a lesson that will last me for all time to come. I shall never go hunting again. No,Iam not very proud of the affair and that is the reason I decline to give my name.”’ Not a Sick Day Since. “l was taken severely sick with kidney trouble. [ tried all sorss of medicines, none of which relieved me, One day I saw an ad of your Electric Bitters and determined to try that. After taking a few doses I felt relieved aud soon thereafter was entirely cured, and have not seén a sick day since. Neighbors of mine have been cured of rheumatism, neuralgia, liver and kidney troubles and general debility.” This is what B, F. Bass, of Fre- mont, N. C., writes. Only 50c at all druggists.

BAZAAR STORE CHANGES HANDS Messrs. Young and Ives Buy Qut the Troppman Interest. Negotiations have been pend- ing for some time and today were brought to a successful conclu- sion by which Messrs. J. P. Young and E. H. Ives purchase all the stock of the Troppman, Ives, West company owned by F. G. Troppmar of Fergus Falls and thus become the sole owners of the popular Bazaar store. It is understood that the deal isa cash one and the purchasers have immediate possession. The business will be continued under the name of the Bazaar store and under the exclusive management of Messrs. Ivesand Young will doubtless continue to enjoy a large measure of the pros- perity of Bemidji and vicinity. The purchasers have been inter- ested in the business from the first and their ability as hustling young business men is well known and the success of the Bazaar store in their hands is certain. No change will be made in the character of the business but the new proprietors announce that a grand change of ownership sale will be inaugurated early next week. FOUND THE WIFE AT BRAINERD Brother Seeks His Sister Who Had Eloped With a Stranger. L. H. Steffire, a merchant of La Crosse, Wis., was in Bemidji Thursday - to locate his sister, Mrs. D. D. McDonald, of Red Lake, Wis,, who he said had eloped with a man named O. N. Madson, Kendall, Wis. He made a thorough search of the hotels here, but he was not able the locate the pair and Thursday night Steffire went on to Brainerd, and today a word was received from him saying he had found both Mrs. MeDon- ald and Madson at Brainerd. He WOODSMAN HILARIOUS Inherits Large Sum of Money Then Goes on Big Spree With Friends. BUYS DRINKS AND REFUSES TO ACCEPT CHANGE. Strews Money Broadcast Over Bars in Celebrating His Good Fortune. o i Otto Schmidt, who has been making Northome his home for some time past, has just com pleted one of the most elaborate and farreaching sprees that ever fell to the lot of a woodsman in northern Minnesota, but has the satisfactory of knowing that he has a snug income for the rest of his life. The spree was the results of Mr. Schmidt’s inheritance of a fortune which ia all amounted to $16,000 from a relative who died some time ago in Germany. A few days ago Schmidt received word from the German consul at St. Paul that he had a fortune awaiting him and all that was necessary was for him' to prove his identity. This he did very promptly and he received a check for the amount left him by his wealthy relative. Uponreceiving the money, Schmidt ‘proceeded to celebrate his ‘geod fortune at Northome in a very artistic man- ner ard for ‘several days it was unnecessary for anyone to lay down any money in order to get drinksattherefreshment parlors of that city. ‘‘Schmidt pays for this” was a common expression at Northome for a week, and the money Schmidt put up for intoxi- cating beverages was larger than the bar bill of an ordinary toper. He refused to accept change from a bartender and invariable laid down a bill in payment for ‘the drinks for the house.” He has sobered up since, how- ever, and says that he will spend no more money unnecessarily. He intends to take a trip to the Fatherland after which he will settledown and enjoy life with the large income which the money will bring him. has sent for his brother and Madson’s wife and will have the couple prosecuted. Madson has been working at Bemidji and had a wife and fam- ily at Kendall. Some time ago he wrote his wife sending her a little money and telling her to meet him in Crookston. Shortly before this Mrs. McDonald dis- appeared and Steffire traced her to Brainerd and then found that they had been traveling over the state as man and wife. MURDER THEORY NOT PROBABLE Said That Missing Money Was Found on Dry- haug’s Body. Felix Fournet, the Crookston wholesale liquor dealer, came down from Kelliher this morn- ing. He interviewed the mes- senger who brought word from Shotley of the finding of Jacob Dryhaug’s body and it is claimed by the latter that the body was found on.the lake shore with all the money and checks upon it. The messenger claimed that there was a big storm on Red Lake a few days ago which caus- ed the body to be washed up on the shore. A M. Siverson of Crookston, brother of the dead man, reached Bemidji this noon on his way to Shotley. It is not expected that Deputy Coroner Marcum can re- turn from Shotley before Mon- day. - NEGROES ARRIVE AT BLACKDUCK First Part of Booker T. Wash- ington’s Colony Arrives at Their Destination. Seven negroes passed through the city last nignt enroute to Blackduck, where it is said they will form the colony that Booker T.

Several days ago the Pioneer contained an account of the kill- ing of an unknown man by the day train bound for-Duluth at Mallory about ten miles out of Grand Forks. The man was run down shortly before nine o’clock in the morning and almostground to pieces. Yesterday the re- mains were identified by a man who had been working in the Dakota harvest fields as those of Charles Johnson of Des Moines, Towa. Johnson’s father is named Thomas Johnson and the family is well to do. They have been communicated with but no word has been received from them as yet. The remains of the dead man are being held at Crookston. DOWIE SAYS IT IS AFRAUD Declares the Proposed Black- duck Colony Has no Con- nection With Him. About a week ago the Pioneer published an account of theat- tempt of Jube Hines to establish a Dowie colony in Blackduck township and since that time the matter has been giyen consider- able mention in the twin city and Chicago papers. A despatch to the Pioneer Press yesterday from Waukegan, I11,, says that Dowie at Zion City has declared that he has no con- nection with the scheme what- ever and that the whole thing is a fraud so far as heis concerned. Change in Time. A number of changes will be made in the Great Northern time table beginning Monday morn- ing. All of these cannot now be ascertained, but the most impor- tant as far as concerns Bemidji is the change in time of the west bound passenger from Duluth which will pass Bemidji hereaf- ter about four o’clock instead of at 2:53 as at present. Mrs. Hattie Wall of Leeds, N. D., and Miss Allie Brannon are the guests of Judge and Mrs: Clark, both ladies being Mrs. Clark’s sisters. 3 A MATTER OF HEALTH Ki POWDER Absolutely Pure HAS NO SUBSTITUTE EVANGELISTIC SERVICES Special Meetings at Baptist Church Will Be Held Be- ginning Tomorrow.

From South Africa.—New Way of Using Chamberlain's Cough : Remedy. Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal, South Afri- ca, says: ‘“As a proof that Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy is a cure suitable for old and young, I pen you the following: A neigh- ber of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it. I sug- gested that if they - would get a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and put some, upon the dummy teat the baby was suck- ing it would no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and. cured the baby.” This remedy is for sale by Barker’s Drug store. Broke Up Furniture. Ira Thatcher, who lives in the north end of town, was sentenced to sixty days in the county jail yesterday by Judge Pendergast. Thatcher had been on a pro- tracted spree and came home to his family in an ugly mood.
