GANNON’'S STATEMENT Dying Man Claimed That He Had Been Threatened by Several Persons. COUNTY ATTORNEY LOUD AND CORONER MARCUM RETURN. Sheriff Bailey Will Remain at Scene of Tragedy—No Clues Developed. County Attorney Loud and Coroner Marcum returned this afternoon from Baudette, where they examined the circumstances surrounding the murder of Matt Gannon last Saturday night. Mr. Loud stated to the Pioneer that as yet not the slightest clue had been found. Sheriff Bailey will remain on the scene of the crime for one or two days longer in an attempt to apprehend the per- petrator. The investigation by County Attorney Loud before the coro- ner’s jury was most searching, ten residents of Spooner and seven of Baudette being ex: amined. The investigation de veloped that Gannon had twice drawn his gun on inoffensive parties the day he was shot but noclue to his murderer was secured. County Attorney Loud and Coroner Marcum say that the murder of Gannon was most foul and the former declares that vigorous efforts will be made to bring the murderer to justice. WINTER STORE BURGLARIZED Unknown Thieves Gain En- trance With Key and Se- cure Goodsand Money. Forty knives, four revolvers, flve razors, one hat aund $10 in money was secured last night by a burglar who entered the E. H. Winter & Co. store at some time between 10:30 and 11:30 last night, unlocking the door in en tering and relocking it when he went out. The polize have been notified but up to the present time no clues as to who the rob- bers are have been found. This makes the third time that the Winter establishment has been entered in precisely the same manner. KEach time the robber left all doors of the store locked after he had made his visit and secured his hall. Andrew Casperson, who sleeps at the store, was absent until about 11:30, when he entered the establishment and retired for the night, not noticing that any- thing was missing. Upon aris- ing this morning, however, he found the goods gone and a round of the store disclosed what articles had been taken. He ex amined every door closely but found them all locked. No explanation of the affair can be made and no suspicion is at- tached to any of che employes of the establishment. Best Cough Medicine for Children. When you buy a cough medi- cine for small children you want one in which you can place im- plicit confidence. You want one that not only relieves but cures.

There is nothing so good for the coughs and colds incidentto childhood. For sale by Barker’s Drug store. Arrested at Funkley. Funkley Bugle: «Monday last T. A.

Wonzor Claims That Former Wife Threatened to Fire House. BLAZE DID DAMAGE TO EXTENT OF $500. Fire Was Set Early This Morning While Occupants of Building Were Asleep. Fire which started on the out- side southeast corner of the J. A. Wonzor residence, 1007 Beltrami avenue, badly damaged the build- ing and did some damage to the furniture and contents. The loss is estimated at $500, with no insurance. That the fire was incediary could be seen at a glance. The ground and the lower part of the building at the corner where the, blaze originated had been satu- rated with kerosene and a strong odor of burning oil was prevalent. Mr. and Mrs. R. Midtlyng, who occupied the residence, discover- ed the blaze. They were asleep in the building when the rooms be- come full of smokeand Mr. Midt- lyng awoke, made a hasty exam- ination and found the house on fire. Heimmediately turned in an alarm and the firemen arrived in time to take a large part of the furnishings out of the burning building, one corner of which is almost entirely burned away and the remainder badly damaged by smoke and water. Mr. Wonzor suspects his form- er wife of having started the blaze. The relations between them during the time they lived together were of a strained nature, and Mrs. Wonzor was given a decree of divorce some some time. It is claimed by Mr. Wonzor that his former wife threatened to “‘get eyen” with him. Mr. Wonzor has consulted County Attorney Loud about the matter and expects to swear out a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Wonzor. NATIONAL LECTURER Noted Speaker Will Be Pres- ent at Special Meeting of Woodmen.

A great many Bemidji people will be interested in the views of Herbert Gardiner, lord of the University of Columbia, and Prof. William J. Kirby of the Catholic University of America who have, in addresses before the Contemporary club, stated that they could find no reason for saying that gambling in 1t self was wrong. Both expressed the opinion that gambling can- not be eradicated from modern life and that the wisest thing to do is to properly control it. The dissussion was listened to by a distinguished audience, Professor Kirby, after admit- ting the theoretical legitimacy of gambling, made an appeal for a course of instruction in the schools which might lessen gambling in the next generation and said that cities should take up the work of regulating gamb- ling as an essentially city prob- lem, “Gambling is not simply a game of chance,” said he, ‘“for chance is present in most busi- ness transactions. Gambling is unot merely the desire for gain. It is not merely means of excite- ment. The constitutional gamb- ler is the man who desires only gain at play as a means to enable him to play again. “It may seem strange for me to say so as a profossor of ethics, but I have never been able to find a reason that will permit me to say gambling is wrong. Itis argued that gambling is wrong because itis a waste. On the contrary there is no destruction of wealth in gambling. “Properly done, gambling is notamsmpatmn, but a recrea- tion.” Operation on Child. The two year old baby girl of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Fort was operated upon last night at St. Anthony’s hospital for an affec- tion of the ear. The operation was entirely successful and the child is doing as well as could be expected. The baby was taken with the illness a few days ago and when examined by a physi- cian yesterday afternoon it was decided to perform the operation as soon as possible, as the nature of the disease was such that had it been postponed for two days longer the child’s brain would have become paralyzed, which would ultimately have caused her death.
