JAS. RUMLEY A FORGER Former Employe Writes Checks and Forges Name of E. L. Naylor. GOT $153 AT DULUTH CLOTH- ING ESTABLISHMENT. Makes Escape to Canada and Ef- forts of Officers Are Fruitless. James Rumley, formerly em- ployed at the E. L. Naylor furni- ture store in this city and who is well known to many Bemidji people, has forged a check upon his former employer and made good his escape to Canada. The check came back from Duluth some time ago, but in interest of the law the matter was kept secret for a short time. Rumley left Bemidji two weeks ago, saying to Mr. Naylor that he was going to Cass Lake to solicit insurance for a comwvany, the agency for which he received some time ago. It is supposed that he went straight to Duluth, however, as he presented a check at the clothing store of Stack & Co., the amount being $153. =~ He purchased some clothes and re ceived the money, the check be- ing signed “E. L. Naylor, by R. J. Albrant.” The name which he represented himself as bear- ing was S, J. Stevens, The check was held at the store for a few days before it was placed in a bank, but upon receiving the check from Duluth, Cashier Brooks of the Lumber- mens State bank in this city knew at a glance that it was worthless, and returned it to Du- luth. A vigilant search is being made by the officers to locate the forger, whose home is at Brad- ford, Ontario, but as yet no trace of him has been found, and it is thought that he has escaped to Canada. BLACKDUCK TO BE CLOSED Trouble Over Election May Result in Enforcement of State Law. A well founded report comes from Blackduck today to the effect that because of trouble be- tween the successful and the un- successful factions in the recent village election held in that city may result in closing up the town. It is stated upon gocd authority that threats have been made by the unsuccessful faction that unless certain concessions were made by the village council complaint would be made to the authorities and the town would be closed up tight and the state law would be strictly enforced. It is claimed that the cowplaint has already been forwarded to the state authorities. WRESTLING MATCH TONIGHT Hanks and Donovan Will Meet for Second Time at Star Theatre. Local sports will this evening be treated to an event which has been looked forward to for some time past—the second wrestling match between E.C. Hanks of Walla Walla and C. C. Donovan of Minneapolis. Both men are in fine shape for the meeting, and each has spent the past two weeks in hard training for the event The first match between the men was witnessed by a large crowd and the bout was pronounced excellent, Hanks winning out over Donovan after a hard fought .battle. Since that time, however, Donovan has trained down to his regular wrestling weight and expects that tonight he will be able to win, TH]S EVEN NG City Dads Will Name Street Commissioner and Opera House Manager. At~ the meeting of the city souncil to be held this evening, the most important business to come up will be the appointme :t of a new street commissioner and to place the management of the city opera hpuse. For the former position there are a num- ber of candidates, among them being C. C. Folkers, Allan Ben- ner and John Washburn. It is not thought that Mr. Pogue will accept the position again, as he has declared that he does not want it any longer, A.T. Wheel- ock, the present manager of the opera house, is after the job again, and it is very probable that he will land it, as no serious candidates will oppose hint.

Cass Lake, March 25.—The first meeting of tha newly-elect- ed village council was held Wed- nesday evening, at which Presi dent Gorenflo named the appoint- ive officers for the ensuing year. C. E.Leeman was reappointed as chief of police,and David Jones was named as patrolman. Ithas since been learned that Jones is not a resident of the village, and Pat Cain will serve as police un- til the successor to Jones is ap- pointed. No one has as yet been appointed health officer. Here- tofore that official has been al- lowed the sum of $100 per year. At the meeting of the council Wednesday evening, Dr. Hanley made a proposition to act as health officer for the sum of $1 per year, and Dr. Gilbert sub- mitted an offer to perform the duties for nothing, if vested with the official title of the office. Frank McNany resigned as just- ice of the peace, and A. F. Cum mings was appointed to fill the vacancy. There be those who say that the members of the new council do not pull together as harmoniously as might be desir- ed. Appraisers Appointed. Judge M. A. Spooner this morning appointed tne commis- sioners in the condemnation pro- ceedings instituted by the Min- neapolis, Red Lake & Manitoba railway company to condemn lands between this city and Red Lalke for right of way purposes.

Rosholt of Minneapolis is|best—Mark’s lung Balsam is the registered at the Markham. ADJOURNED| Spring Term of District Court for Beltrami County Is Ended. SYDNEY PHILIPS, FORGER,GETS THREE YEARS. Henry McNanie Convicted of Burglary and Sentenced to Four Years in Pen. The spring term of district court for Beltrami county was completed this afternoon, after the civil and criminal had been exhausted. The term was one of the shortest in the history of the county, having lasted only a little more than a week. The jury in the case cf the state vs. George Connors, who was charged with having stolen a watch from H. M. Greenfield at Buena Vista, brought in a verdict of not guilty. Sydney Philips, the forger who passed the bogus checks some time ago, plead guilty to the charge this morning and was sentenced to three yearsin the penitentiary. Henry McNanie, who was ac- cused of haying stolen some goods from the cabin of Miss Pendergast, was found guilty after the jury had been out a half hour, and he was sentenced this morning to four years in the penitentiary. Fannie Wendorff and N. W. Ross each charged with burglary were given 30 days apiece after pleading guilty. The case ot the state vs. Ftank Lane, accused of having sold liguor to minors in a Wilton saloon, was the last case on the calendar to be tried, and the jury was still out at a late hour this afternoon. CHARGE TO BE GRAND LARCENY 0. P. Hines Accused of Steal- ing Watch From Drunk- en Woodsman. Of the fiye suspects who were being held at the county jail awaiting developments in what was believed to have been an- other ‘“‘doping” affair, four have been released for wantof suffi- cient evidence upon which to hold them, and only one, O, P. Hines, * who was employed as porter at the Jones & Phelan es- tablishment, is now in jail. There is little evidence that goes to show that the man was ‘“‘doped,”’ and the charge that will be brought against Hines is grand larceny. Thompson, the man who lost the watch, is improving rapidly from the effects of his experience. Cruiser Dead. Harold Thompson, who has been critically ill at St. Anthony’s hospital in this city with peri tonitis, died this morning. Thompson was about 50 years of age and his home was at Still water, where his wife and child- ren live. He has been employed by the Beltrami Timber com- pany during the winter. The remains will be prepared for burial and probably taken to Stillwater. Mill Wood for Sale.

" Subseribe for the Pioneer. lgood marksmen and the low D sorderly Houses to Be Moved to City. A report coming from certain quarters has been circulated throughout the city for a few days past to the effect that the houses of ill fame located in the swamp west of the city were to be removed back to their former location at the corner of Ameri- can avenue and Second street. Inasmuch as the members of the city council will not allow them to be removed into the city, there can beno truth in the report. Mayor Ludington and Alderman Graham were approached re garding the matter this morcing and both stated that they would oppose any move of the kind, Mayor Ludington declaring em- phatically that he would do all in his power to prevent it if the re- moval of the houses were at- tempted. There are also a large number of property owners who hold property adjacent to the former location of the houses, and should any attempt be made to remove the houses there would undoubtedly be a great deal of opposition on their part. THE TREASURE BOX. E. A. Barker Has Just Put One in Which Will Interest All The Men. There is a box at E. A. Bar- ker’s dx;ué store which will in- terest the smokers in Bemidji. On the cover is a handsome pict- ure of the great American eagle. while inside are fifty well made cigars, of good size, long Havana filler, called Wadsworth Bros.’ ¢Chicos,’” that sell for 5c. each. There’s no “six for a quarter” about the contents of this treas- ure box, for the “Chicos” cost E. A. Barker more than any other Sc. cigar in his case, and are equal to most of the 10c. goods. Try one and you will see that this is no fairy tale, Wherever ‘Wadsworth Bros.’ “Chicos’ are known, the best people in town burn them. Many a ten-cent smoker has given up his three for a quarter and en- joyed the ‘‘Chicos” better. Get one today and see how good they are. Lecture Appreciated. The Presbyterian church last night was crowded to the doors with interested listeners to the lecture given by Rev. F. E. Hig- gins, who styles himself the “lumberjack sky pilot.” Mr. Higgins gave a very interesting description of work in the lum- ber camps, telling of the men, the tools used, and in fact of all the details oflife incamp. A large number. of people who tried to gain entrance to the church were compelled to remain outside, as the church was filled to its capacity. The lecture was illustrated with stereoptican views taken at the camps in this vicinity, and the illustrations aid- ed in giving a good 1dea of the work, Woodward Will Rebuild. A letter received yesterday from C. C. Woodward, who has spent the winter at Portland, states that de expects to come to Bemidji this spring to make ar- rangements for erecting a brick block upon the lot formerly occu- pied by the Brunswick saloon, destroyed by fire Jan:=15. Mr. Woodward does not state in the letter what size the building will be, but it is prohable that it will be two stories high. The other property owners affected by the fire have nearly all decided to re. build, and it is expected that be- fore the summeris over all the wooden buildings destroyed by the fire will be replaced by modern brick structures.
