| | l GIVEN DOPE; THEN ROBBED Finlander Found Lying in Rear of Saloon at 8 0’clock This Morning. WAS NEARLY DEAD FROM EF- FECTS OF POISON. Medical Assistance Summoned and Life Is Saved—Suspects Arrested. What is believed to have been another “doping” affair was de- veloped this morning at 8 o’clock, when a Finlander who gives his name as Simon Thompson was picked up back of the Jones & Phelan saloon -by Chief Bailey and Officer Helmer nearly dead from the effects of poison which had been taken by him, and which, had he been found an hour later, would in all probability have ended his existence. Thompson was in an uncon- scious condition and he was taken to police headquarters, where he was attended by Drs. Henderson and Morrison. He lay uncon- scious in a cell at the city jail dur ing the entire forenoon, but at 2:3)_this afternoon he became conscious and could talk intelli- gently. He gave his name as Si- mon Thompson and said that he has been employed in a lumber camp near Kelliher during the winter, coming to Bemidji two days ago. He was dazed, however, from the effects of his experi- ence, and was unable to remem- ber anything that occurred last night. It is not known if he had any money yesterday, but a watch which he purchased at the A. E. Winter establishment on Third street upon reaching the city was found to be missing. A search resulted in locating it at the Jones & Phelan saloon, and five suspects were arrested and taken to the city jail, where they will be held until the matter is cleared up. A thorough investi- gation will be made into the affair. CHINKS ARE CALLED DOWN Mayor Ludington Issues Or- der That Peace Must Be Preserved. Mayor Ludington this morn- ing formally served notice upon the proprietors of the Sing Lee restaurant on Beltrami avenue that hereafter peace must be pre- served in that establishment, otherwise the place will be closed up. Several disgraceful scenes and anumber of serious disturbances have occurred in the restaurant during the past six months, and the police have kept a sharp lookout of late. The last offense to be committed oc- curred yesterday, when Annie Cuthvert, an employe of the place, acted in a disorderly man- ner and was taken in by the police. She has been in court a number of times for the same offense and served a term in the county jail. Yesterday she was again arraigned before Judge Pendergast, who gave her her choice of leaving the city in two days, pay a fine of $100 and costs, or serving 90 days in the county jail. She promised toleave the city, and it is thought that her departure will materially aid in keeping order in the oriental eat- ing house. i Today the will of Leslie H. Bailey was admitted to probate and the hearing for appointment of executor and proof of will set for April 17, 1905, When you buy Barlow’s Best you get the best flour made and help to support a Bemidji indus- try as well.

Found Lying on Floor of Cell With Rope Still Around His Neck. Brooding over the loss of his wife who died six years ago caused Peter Olson, a ten day prisoner confined at the county jail, to attempt suicide by hang- ing himselfin his cell Wednesday night. When found lying on the floor of his cell with the rope still around his neck, Olson was black in the face and he had eyidently made a desperate effort to end his existence. Olson has been confined at the county jail since March 17, when he was sentenced toa term of ten days for drunken and dis- orderily conduct. Wednesday night the deputy in charge of the jail had just locked up for the night, buthe was startled by shouts from the inside of the es- tablishment and upon returning he was told that one of the men was attempting suicide. He en: tered the. jailand found Olson nearly dead from his unhappy experience, but upon releasing the rope from the man’s neck Olson soon recovered sufficiently to speak. His shirt was torn to shreds, and the pieces had been used to manufacture a rope, a part of which was stillhanging to the ceiling of the cell, the re- mainder being around Olson’s neck. He explained that hls wife had died six years ago, leaving him with five small children on his hands and that since the death of his wife the struggle to pro- vide for the children had been so hard that he did not wish to live any louger and had decided that it was better for him to die. Olson is 37 years ofage and has been employed in lumber camps in this vicinity for several years past, G. N. TRAIN IS FUMIGATED County Health Officer Places East Bound Train Un- der Quarantine. When the east bound Great Northern passenger pulled into Bemidji this afternoon F. A. Blakeslee, state health officer for Beltrami county, and Assis- tant Health Officer Dwight Miller boarded the train and took charge for the purpose of fumigating all the coaches. The train was not delayed in Bemidji, continued on its way, but all the passengers who left this city were compelled to enter the first coach, while the latter is being fumigated. Dr. Blakeslee and his assistant will stay with the train until it reaches Duluth, and itis thought that by that time all the cars will have been fumigated. The rea- son for this action is the arrival in Bemidji yesterday on the train of a well developed case of small- Pox.” A. M. Bagley left this morning fsr points in Towa, where he will purchase a carload of horses to be shipped to Bemidji.

CARRIERS WILL BE PUT ON BY JULY 15 Free Delivery System ~Eagerly Looked for by Residents of the City. During the fiscal year ending March 31, the receipts of the Be- midji postoffice will exc-ed the the $10,000 mark, and Bemidji will be assured a free delivery system. 1t is now certain that the total receipts will be enough to secure the system, and as soon as the different postoffices throughout the country have been checked up Bemidji will be recommended as a free delivery office, and the change will be made. The department takes three months from the ending of the fiscal year in which to check up the receipts and make the rec- ommendations, after which car- riers will be assigned and the necessary changes in the postof- tice will be made. The recommendation for trans- ferring Bemidji to the free deliv- ery class will therefore be made by July 1, and Assistant Post- master Clark states that it is ex- pected-that the carriers will ar- rive in time so that the system will be in operation by July 15. The want of a free delivery sys- tem has been keenly felt for a number of years, and the change will be welcomed by every resi- dent of the city. MILL STARTS WEDNESDAY Big Mill Will Begin Several Days Earlier Than Was Anticipated. The Crookston Lumber Com- pany wmill will begin the season next Wednesday morning, March 29, when a full crew, day and night, will be put on. It was ex- pecceil, and so announced a few days ago, that work would begin April 1, but owing to the rapid opening of ;the season the com- pany is now practically ready to begin the season’s work and the date has therefore been advanced to Wednesday. The start will be several days carlier than last year and the out- look for a big season’s very favorable. Big Transcript Completed. Court Stenographer J. J.
