Tablets. IS BIGELOW SHO IN HIS ACCOUNTS?| Rumored That Former Crookston Lum- ber Company Cashier Is Embezzler ---Warrant Issued. During the past two or three days Tt has been rumored about the city that E. M. Bigelow,form- er cashier of the Crookston Lum- ber) company, had been found short in his accounts. Inquiry was made at the offices of the company this afternoon, but no news could be obtained. While the management did not deny or affirm the rumors, they admitted that a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Mr. Bigelow,who RT left Bemidji Wednesday after having resigned his position. Mr. Bigelow enjoyed a wide circle of friends and had the ex- plicit confidence ‘of all, and it would seem that after further investigation it will be found that the rumers are untrue. Mr. Bigelow entered the em- ploy of the Crookston Lumber company as cashier three years ago and has been a resident of Bemidji since the general offices of thecompany were removed from Crookston to this city. RARTENDER DIES IN JAIL Man Who Was Sent Up for. 20 Days Last Night Diet This Morning. DEATH DUE TO HEART TROUBLE CAUSED BY DRINK Remains Taken to Morgue,Where They Will Await Arrival of Relatives. George Johnson, about 85 years of age, died at 7 o’clock this morning at the county jail in Bemiidji, where he was confined last night after having been sen- tenced to a 20 day term for drunkenness.

Johnson is well known in Be midji and has beena resident here for about six years. He has been employed as a bartender at several saloons about the ciby, but for the past few weeks has been out of a position. Yesterday afternoon he was taken up by the police in an in- toxicated condition and arraign. ed before Judge Skinvik, who imposed a sentence of 20 days in the county jail.

The break between Norway and :den is being watched with !great interest in this country where 'so many Scandinavians have located. Those who haye ccted to talke out their citi- zens’ papers are especially con- cerned with probable effect of a war upon -them. The Minneap. olis Tribune says that thousands of Scandinavians in Minnesota have not been naturalized and that they are allliable to be draft- ed by the governments of their respective countries. Should war come to pass, both countries would want to bring their armies up to their full - strength and every citizen liable to army ser- vice would be called upon toen ter the army. It is said, so says the Tribune, that the govern- {ments through their many con- suls are looking up their subjects jand that their presence will be ,demanded soon at home. The government of Scandinavia keeps good track of its citizens in for- eign countries. The law of the Scaudinavian countries permitsa isuhject, who has become a natu- jralized .American, to inherit property there but the party forfeits the property if he fails to respond to defend his former country if called upon to do so. This fact complicates the situa- tion in hundreds of cases and 'al. together the troubles between |WILL M ON JUNE 16 New Board of Gonnty Com- missioners Will Hold First - Meeting Friday. PURPOSE WILL BE TO ELECT COUNTY ATTORNEY. s Much Speculation as to Who Will Be. Appointed as Loud’s Successor. A meeting of the board of county commissioners of Bel- trami county will be held at the court house in Bemidji at 10 o’clock a. m, on Friday, June 16, according to notices issued by County Auditor Wilmann last night in which the members are notified to be present on that date. The meeting will be held- for the purpose of electing a county attorney to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of H. J. Loud. Although the notices sent out by Auditor Wilmann state that the weeting will be for this purpose and “to transact any other busi- ness that may properly come be- fore said meeting,” it is not be- lie ed by Mr. Wilmann that any other business will be transacted. In his opinion the meeting to elect a county attorney must be a special one called solely for that purpose, and consequently the allowing of bills and the transac- tion of other routine business will probably be postponed. e There. is much speculation as to who will be successful in the fight for county attorney. Henry Funkley, itis claimed, has the situatioz well in hand and will in all probability be the next county attorney. In fact, Mr. Funkley has expressed himself as being entirely at ease regarding his prospects for appointment to the office. E. E. McDonald, whe, it is claimed, was a candidate up to the election of the new commis- sioners yesterday afternoon, also believes that Mr. Funkley will be successful. What the pros- pects are for the election of either John Gibbons or P. J. Rus- sell is uncertain, but the perspn- nel of the new board does not in dicate that either of these gentle- men will be appointed.

EASTERN STAR WILL INITIATE Meeting Tomorrow Evening of Special Interest—Good Time Expected. The Bemidji chapter of East- ern Star will hold a meeting at Masonic hall tomorrow evening at which one initiation will take place. This, together with the fact that a sumptuous supper will be served after the business has been disposed of, makes the meeting tomorrow evening of special interest, and it is expect- ed that the attendance will be unusually large. Chinaman Has Row. A row occurred this morning at the Chinese laundry on Second street between the proprietor of the establishment and a woods- man who claimed to have left some clothes at the place. The woodsman lost the ticket which was given to him when he left the bundle at the laundry and when he asked for the clothes the Chinaman refused to give them up unless the ticket was Cornelius Hughes, the three year old son of Dan Hughes, the Crookston grocer, was very nearly burned to death there yesterday morning while playing with matches in the kitchen. The little boy, in his night clothes, found several matches upon the floor of the kitchen and play fully started to ignite the fire in the grate. His mother was up stairs at the time and before she could respond to the agonizing cries of her darling the flames had caught from the lighted match on his night gown and the little body was a mass of flames. That fatal burns did not result instantaneously is due to the fact that the little boy had under- neath his cotton night gown his woolen undergarments, The flames did nof ignite these.as rapidly as the onter cotton and prompt work by Mrs. Hughes with a blanket soon had the flime extinguished. The little boy was burned in a frigntful manner ahout the” head and shoulders, however, and writhed in terrible agony until relieved by opiates given by a physician who was called to thie scene. A physician dressed the little fellow’s burned body and hopes to save his life, but the burns are very serious.

Left v’l‘oday- for Indianapolis, Ind., to Claim Her Vast * Heritage. . Mrs. Jennie Wonzor of Be- midji, the colored woman who re- cently was advised that a fortune of $120,000 awaited her at Indian- apolis; Ind., has retired from the working world. She will here after live in idleness, as well she may, and the . remainder- of her existence will be spent in enjoy- ing all the sights and pleasure: that can be had by those who are inclined to pay the price. “No more work for me,” says Mrs. Wonzor. “I am so glad to know that it is all true, and that 1 may hereafter live without toil- ing, that I hardly know what to Ao Mrs. Wonzor explains that the death of any relative was not re- sponsible for her good fortune, but states that the money which she will receive will come from the sale of one-fourth of an acre of land in the suburbs of Indian- apolis which was given to her when a mere child. She was adopted bya family namad Camp- bell, who live at Rochester, N. Y., and the small tract was given to her by her foster father. The land is located in the Indi- ana natural gas belt, and last fall a well was sunk with the result that gas was struck. The term- of the sale have alreiady been ar ranged, and all that will be neces sary for Mrs: Wonzor to receive the money will be to sien the pa pers making the transfer. Last night she was granted a divorce by Judge Spooner from her husband, J. A. Wonzor, and she left this afternoon_for Indian apolis. The reason for her not leaying before was that she wished to secure a legal separa tion from her husband before taking charge of the fortune that awaited her to avoid any compli cations that might result by rea- son of her being married. The divorce case was tried several months ago and the decision of Judge Spooner has been pending for a long time. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they can- not reach the diseased portion of the ear.” There isonly one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf- ness is caused by an inflamed condition 'of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube, When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it s entirely closed,: deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases” out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucu- ous surfaces.

St. Paul, June 15.—Thomas B. Clem- ent, president of the suspended First National bank™of Faribault, will be tried on charges of embezzlement and msladministration of the bank’s busi- ness before the United States district court June 21. His counsel, George N. Baxter, made a gallant fight to induce the court to continue the case until the December term, but failed. The aged banker was arraigned in the district court at 10 a. m. To sev- enteen of the counts he pleaded not guilty in a firm tome. To the other ten he demurred on the ground that each of them specified more than one offense. This demurrer was overruled and Mr. Clement then pleaded not guilty to the ten coum.s i DEFRAUDED GOVERNMENT. 1 S | Two Minnesotf Land Men. Sent to!
