PHILIPS AN OLD HAND Warden Recogjzes Bemidji Forger When He Enters the Penitentiary. HAS SERVED MANY PREVIOUS TERMS IN PRISON. Declared by Prison Authorities to Be One of Smoothest For- gers in Business. “Well, Well! You back here again?”’ said Deputy Warden Glennon when Sidney Philips, BEGIN WORK WEDNESD Captaiz for Bemidji Running Team Elected at Meeting Held Last Night. A, O. Narveson was elected captain of the Bemidji running team for the coming summer at a meeting of the team held last night, and active work will be commenced to put the team in condition to win the money at the Blackduck and Eveleth tournments to be held in June and August, respectively” The first practice event will = take place on Wednesday evening, when the material at hand will who plead guilty to a charge of forgery and was sentenced by Judge Spooner to a term of three years in the penitentiary at the recent term of district court for Beltrami county, was usher- ed through the prison doors at Stillwater by Deputy Sheriff John Bailey. “Yes, I'm back again,” replied the prisoner, “but don’t expect to remain here aslong asI did the last time.: It’s only three years this time"’] Anold hand at the business, Philips was immediately recog-| nized as having been an inmate of the prison for a number of terms, the lastone being for seven years. He is declared to be one of the smoothest men in the country and while serving his numerous terms in prison he gave exhibitions of his skillin copying the hand of others. An expert artist, it seems tocome natural forthe man to imitate the writing of others, and itis said that he can reproduce to an exactness that is surprising the most difficult handwriting. Upon his release from prison last fall, after having served his seven year term, Philips was recommended’ by Deputy War- den Glennon to a Minneapolis manufacturing firm, where he received a position as account- ant. He had not been in the em- ploy of the firm long, however, before the old desire came back upon him and a number of checks for various amounts were drawn upon the company by him, and his sudden departure from the Twin Cities was the result. He was not heard of from that time on until he appeared in Be- midji and succeeded in cashing one bogus check but was nabbed while in the act of attempting to obtain money for another. It is thought that his story to the effect that he has a wifein Canada was manufactured in order -to win the sympathy of the officers and court, Miss Nellie Erickson left this afternoon for Rosby, where she will spend the school vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Erickson. Miss Erickson is attending the Bemidji schools, “Experience is a dear teacher, but fools will learn by no other.” Not so with the Grill Sunday be tried out preparatory to the assignment of position upon the team. From Wednesday on, practices will ozcur as often as practicable, and it is expected that Bemidji will carry off the banner in the coming tourneys, THE SPRING VACATION !children and Teachers Will Enjoy a Week’s Relief from Duties. It was decided yesterday to hold the annual spring vacation of the public school during the week from April 3 to April 9, and the schools were closed yester- day afternoon, Since New Years both teachers aud pupils have been working with might and main preparing for the spring examinations, and the temporary relief is intended to recuperate their energy for the final trial. A number of the teachers have already departed for their homes to spend the vacation. POSTOFFICE MOVED TONIGHT Will Be Ready for Business in New Quarters by To- morrow Noon. The Bemidji postoffice is now being moved from its present lo cation on Beltrami avenue to the north room of the Swedback hlock, where. it will be located in the- future. A lease for five years has been obtained by the government and it is probable that the Swedback block will be the permanent location of the office. The old fixtures which have been used for the past three years will be taken to the new quarters. ~ TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY.

The prize fight which was to take place at Brainerd Thursday night between Ed. LaRue of Minneapolis and Billy Rhodes of Kansas City, who took part in a boxing exhibition in this city some years ago, and is well known in Bemidji, took place at Pillager, a small town in Cass county a short distance from Brainerd. In spite of orders from Governor Johnson, who made évery effort to stop the fight, it was pulled off in the presence of about 300 sports from Brainerd, Little Falls and Aitkin and resulted in a draw at the end of the tenth round. Gov. Johnson was notified of the new arrangements Thursday afternoon and sent three tush messages, one to the town mar- shal at Pillager, another to the sheriff of Crow Wing, at Brain- erd, and a third to the sheriff of of Cass county. The latter was ordered to stop the fight. Pill- ager, however, is located in the midst of swamps and it was im- possible for the officers to arriye before the match had been pulled off. ¥ County Hospital Notes. Mrs. J. P. Lyons died af the county hospital this ~morning. She was 43 years old and had been sick for some three years having been taken to the hospital about two month ago. She leaves a husband and four children, Mr. Lyons living in Hagali township and being one of the pioneer set- tlers of the county. The children are now at the state public school. The funeral will be held from the hospital tomorrow at two o’clock and interment will be at Green- wood. Thomas Johnson who was brought to the county hospital ten days ago suffering with dropsy is not expected to live through the afternoon. Here is a Chance to Make Money. Most people have their fads and fancies, some are known by certain peculiarities they exhibit but a coin collector is one of the many kinds of hobbies known to theatrical people. Mr. John Price, with the Hap- py Hooligan Company, is known to have a great collection of rare and valuable coins. He is always on the lookout for more. Few people ever stop to note that in some cases the U. S. Mints will start an issue of a certain set of coins then stop and recall them. But they do; then any of the coins that may have gotten mto circulation become valuable. That’s why Mr. Price offers $17. 50 for 1903 pennies, delivered to the stage door at the City Opera house by 7 P. M. April 6. A Daredevil Ride often ends in a sad accident. To heal accidental injuries, use Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. “A deep wound in my foot, from an acci- dent,”” writes Theodore Schuele, of Columbus, O., ‘‘caused me great pain, Physicians were helpless, but Bucklen’s Arnica Salve quickly healed it.”” Soothes and heals burns like: magic. 25 cents at all druggists, guaran- teed. g Donovan Won Match. In the wrestling match given last night at Cass Lake between T. W. Donovan of Bemidji and “Kid’’ Flandrei of Grand Forks, the former won out, securing two out of three falls. The bout took place at the Crystal Bay theater and was largely attended by an enthusiastic sporting ele- ment. Donovan won ‘the first Purse of $100 and the gate receipts fall in 18 minutes, Flandrei tool Gov. Johnson Méfies Futile ‘and its conf the second in 18, and the third| > was captured by Donoyan in ten. | 1 “Northern Minnesota .is not receiving its share of representa- tion in the state legislature,”’said Hon. J. M. Markham last night, " [“and an effort to divide the dis- trict up into two should be made. At the present time the 61st leg- islatiye district is composed of four counties which are steadily growing and developing, and if there is any'place that needs leg- islation it is in this district. =As the matter now stands, we have one senator and -two representa- tives for the four counties—Bel- trami, Clearwater, Red Lake and Norman—whereas other counties in tne other part of the state have one senator and from one to three representatives each,and in some cases the population of these counties is not so large as that of either Beltrami, Red Lake or Norman. A reappointment of the district should be asked for at once. Beltrami and Clear- water counties are entitled alone toone senator and at least two representatives, and Red Lake and Norman counties are entitled to the same.” ANDERSON IS HONERED Appropriate Services in Memory of Great Friend of the Children.
