MEETING A SUCCESS Enthusiastic Gathering of Citizens at City Hall Yesterday Afternoon. E. H. JERRARD APPOINTED DELEGATE TO ST. PAUL. Indications Are That Militia Com- pany Will Be Appointed in Near Future. number A large of citizens g hered at the ity hall yest e day afternoon to make arrange- ments for securing the appoint ment of Bemidji as the lccation of a company of the national guards, and the results of the meeting were very satisfactory. After a general discussion of the matter had taken place it was decided to appoint a committee to interview Gen. Wood at St. Paul in order to learn the exact status of affairs regarding the appointment and E. H. Jerrard was named. Mr. Jerrard left this morning for St. Paul. From assurances heretofore received from Gen: Wood and his predecessor, Gen. Libby, it is thought that yery little trouble will be encountered in securing the appointment, as Bemidji has always heen looked upon as a suitable location for a company of the national guards, as its proximity to the several Indian reseryations in‘northern Minne- sota makes an organization of this sort almost a necessity. Capt. J. L. Reynolds is entitled to much credit for hisefforts tose- cureacompany inthis city. Since the Indian uprising in 1898 Mr. Reynolds has sent petitions to the several governors of the state regarding the matter, and has always taken a very active part in creating interest among the people of the uby Haulmg Big Londs. George Kirk, who is operating a logging camp near Long Lake, 16 miles north of the city, is mak- ing a record for hauling big loads. Mr. Kirk has four teams hauling logs to the landing and in less than a month over three mil- lion feet were landed, making an average of nearly 10,000 feet to a load, as the teams make four trips per day. This isa remark- able average and has rarely been equaled. There is no lever so powerful as plain and simple facts—Mark’s Lung Balsam will cure your cough. PRINCESS Grocery Co.

Josephine Wells, the Indian woman who escaped from her guards at the Markham hotel Friday night, was recaptured yesterday forenoon by Messrs. Daniels and Goddard, who had prosecuted a vigorous search to locate the missing woman since her disappearance. She was found on the main traveled road teading from Solway to Red Lake agency axd had gone about 12 miles on the way. When she saw | the guards approaching she made a feeble effort to escape, but was soon overtaken and placed in the sleigh and taken back to Solway. The trio passed through the city yesterday enroute to South Da- kota, where the woman will be confined in an asylum. “GATCHING ON” POOR PRACTICE Small Boys Cautioned Against Stealing Rides on Bob Sleighs. Some complaint is heard from local deliverymen and draymen against the practice of small boys in “catching on” to moving sleighs, and parents who value the lives of their little ones should take strenuous measures to im- press upon the minds of the children the danger which at- tends the small boy who stealsa ride by standing upon the run- ner of a bob sleigh while in motion. Hardly aday passes but that reports of the serious in- jury of children are received from the outside, and it is almost miraculous that Bemidji has escaped. Fatal injuries are often the result of an accident due to the carelessness of a child. TRAIN WRECK AT ST. VINCENT Defective Trucks Cause De- railment of Three Cars —No Serious Injuries. Three cars of train No. 7, in- cluding the sleeper, on the St. Vincent branch of the Great Northern, werederailed Jastnight by thedetachmentofthe two front trucks of the baggage car and it is miraculous that the passengers escaped serious injnry. The train was running at full speed -|when the trtcks left the track and in an instant the other two coaches were derailed. The sleeper was filled with passen- gers butreyond a few scratches no injuries are reported. As a result the east bound train No. 26 was delayed 10 hours. Operator Shoots Indian. Frank Lavishe, a half breed Indian from the Chippewa reser- vation was shot three times about 12 o’clock Friday night by James Drennen, the operator at North End, a small station one mile north of Cloquet. The shooting occurred in the depot, after a quarrel between the men. The half breed, with a bullet hole clear through his body, underneath the heart, and two winor wounds, is lying in Cloguet at the. point of death. Drennen gave himself up to the Cloquet authorities, The troubl: with Lavishe began early in the evening, about 7 o’clock. With his brother John and a reservation Indian whose name is uniknown, the half breed entered the depot and began to annoy the operator. All three were under the influence of liquor. They seemed bent upon having a good time at the expense of Drennen, and refused to leave the premises when ordered to do so, after having attempted to pick a quarrel with the operator. School Opened This Morning. The Bemidji public schools opened this morning after the holiday vacation, and ‘teachers and pupils alike have settled WOONSMAN HURT ° AT KELLIHER Samuc! Johnson, Employed| at Camup of R. E. White, Scriously Injured. Samuel Johnson. a woodsman employed uat the camp of R, E. White near Kelliher, was very seriously, if not fatally, injured by a falling tree Thursday after- noon. The accident occurred shortly before six o’clock when the men were preparing to quit work for the day. He was saw- ing duown a tree'and when it fell it struck another one, changing the direction of the fall. He was where he lies between life and death. CANADIANS HOLD MEETING Ask Government to Allow Backus & Brooks to Con- *struct High Dam. A mass meeting of the water rate payers of Rainy River, Ont., was held in that city Friday night and resolutions were passed ask- ing the government to allow the construction of a dam across the Rainy river to the 500—bench mark. A representative was appointed to interyiew Messrs Backus and Brooks at St. Paul, but uvon the resolutions being forwarded to the government officials at Toronto a reply was received which intimated that this would be unnecessary, as it was very probable that the con- struction of the high dain would be allowed. RESERVATION - OFFICIALS 0. K. Stuart Letter on Minnesota Logging Fail to Show Fraud at Cass Lake. The letter of James A. Stuart, relative to the connection of the Marshall family, father and two sons, with logging operations at Cass Lake, did not arouse any special interest in the interior department at Washington when it was shown to the various offi- cials. This lack of interest is based almost entirely upon the confidence which is reposed in Major Scott, Indian agent at Leech Lake, and inWilliam O'Neil, superintendent of logging opera- tions. Besides that, it is said that no charge of fraud is madein Mr. Stewart’s letter, and so far as can be ascertained here, no com- plaint has been made by the In- dians or anyone else that full value isnot being paid for the timber cut by the Weyerhaeusers and the other contractors. Only one of the three Marshalls is in the employ of the interior department, Harry Marshall,and he is simply a clerk who keeps a record of the reports of the gov- ernment scalers, of whom there are a number, and none of whom, apparently, is connected in any way with the Marshall family, or related in other ways to.em ployees of the contractors. Vicious Horse. Verrion Dunbar narrowly escaped seriousinjury yesterday afternoon while shoeing a vicious horse. Mr. Dunbar had just finished nailing one of the front shoes and stood up in front of the horse when without a word of warning the animal reared up, striking him fullin the breast. His clothes were torn to rags but beyond this no serious damage was done. Suicide of Brainerd Man. Joseph Wolvert, a residert of Brainerd, committed suicide at Winnipeg Friday afternoon by head with a reyolver. No rea- son is given for the rash act. Peter Wolvert and frank Wcl- vert, two sons of the man, have left for Winnipeg and the re- Brainerd for burial down to another siege of hard work, taken to the hospital at Kelliber, |- | relieve temporangl shooting himself through the || mains will be brought: back to|* i For twelve years I was afflicted with this trouble, At night it wasa case of scratch and many times no rest at all.
