IN TROUBLE AT FARGO Bemidji Woman Leaves With Brother-in-Law and is Arrested for Adultery. IRATE HUSBAND FOLLOWS THE COUPLE. Locates Them at Fargo, Causes Their Arrest and They Will Plead Guilty. Mrs. Jake Becker and her brother-in-law, one Hankley, have been arrested at Fargo charged with adultery, and, ac- cording to the Call of that city, they both will plead guilty to the charge and serve a term in the North Dakota penitentiary. Both the parties in the sensa tional affair, as well as the woman’s husband, are well known in this city, baving lived here for several years past. The trouble between Mr. and Mrs. Becker began some time ago and has continued for several months. Becker isa woodsman and he frequently went to the woods in this section, leaving his wife and little child at home. It is under- stood that during his absence from the city the woman’s brother-in-law visited ~ Mrs. Becker and finally became in- fatuated with her. Shereturned the feeling and as a result last week they both left the city but were located at Fargo, where Becker had followed them. He notified the authorities of the affair and they were both arrest- ed and will face a charge of adultery, to which it is thought they will plead guilty. Becker has had a talk with Mrs. Becker in jail and in the course of conversation promised his wife that if she was willing, after being punished by the state for her waywardness, he would take her back and providea good Lome for her and the child, Becker said, in part, to his wife: “If you have to stay in jail for awhile, I will find work and save all my earnings I can and take up a claim so that when you are free you can come to meand with the child we will start life over and we will make a new home to- gether. Are you willing?"’ The poor woman is beginning to realize the plight into which she has been placed and was ready to listen to the kindly offer of her husband: She broke into tears and when sufficiently com posed to speak, replied: “Jake, I know I've done Wumg and must suffer for it.

John Lerdahl, formerly in busi- ness at Kelliher, but who, after the fire that destroyed his saloon in that village has been conduct- ing a house of indecent character at Blackduck, was arrested in that city yesterday by Chief of Police Cash Brunelle, together with two women who were in the house. Two other .female im- mates of the house escaped. The arrest followed several rows which have taken place be- tween Lerdahl and the woman who formerly owned the house. It is claimed that Lerdahl bought the establishment, afterwards turning it over to the woman, who immediately told him that his presence at the house was unneceseary and that he would be forced to leave. Lerdahl pro- tested against the woman’s actions, claiming that he had purchased the establishment and had’ a right to remain there as long as he wished. After several heated wordy ‘battles they fin- ally came to blows and when the police were summoned yes- terday the man and the two women were placed under arrest and taken to the village jail at Blackduck. Their hearing hLas not taken place as yet. TO INITIATE A LARGE CLASS Modern Broth.erhood Plan to Add Fifteen Members to Their Lodge.

Two are pa- tients at St. Anthony’s hospital. “JOINT RAIDED| - Council Asked By Citizens. to Run Again. THE WHOLE TICKET. People Are Aroused and Inter- esting Developments in Cam- paign Are Expected. A petition asking Mayor Lud- ington and the entire city council now in office to again be candi- dates for re-election was circulat- ed in the city this morning by friends of the members of the council, and the paper received a number of signers. ; The work has been done on the quiet, however, and it is not generally known, although the document has been presented to alarge number of citizens, that such amove was on foot. In view of the fact that Mayor L ud- ington has positively refused to be a candidate, the circulation of a petition at this time would lead some to believe that if sufficient pressure were brought to bear upor him his consent to make another run could be secured in spite of his repeated declarations not to become a candidate. The people of the city gener- ally are taking much more inter- est in the coming campaign than had been expected, as the unset- tled state of affairs are bringing to them a sense of the importance of the election, and developments will be eagerly looked for. The social given last night at the Presbyterian church - was largely attended and the amount of the proceeds were highly sat- isfactory. Dr. E. H. Marcum went to Nary this afternoon on profes- sional business. Mrs. N. Helmer is suffering with a severe attack of la grippe. Dr. Caldwell of Blackduck is a visitor in the city today.

The two antagonists with their seconds, appeared and began to strip for the fray when a stranger, bearing an ob- long box, which he proceeded to unpack came upon the scene. He then erected a tripod on which he fixed a bioscope camera, and awaited the development of events. The duellists, however, were so indignant that they for- got the cause of their trouble, embraced each other, reclothed themselves and left the field of battle arm in arm, while the dis- appointed bioscope man sadly repacked his apparatus and de- parted. Had the “stranger” re- ferred to been fortunate enough to secure a picture the duel would have been reproduced at the Opera House for the ‘“‘strang- er” was Mr. F. G.
