| 1 f i | HUSBAND WAS THERE Hears Wife Tell Police That She Was Married to An- other Man. WOMAN CLAIMED THAT HER * SPOUSE DIED OF TYPHOID. Appearance of Her Right Husband Startles Her Into Expression of Disloyalty. To hear his wife claim that she was married to another and that he had died several years ago of typhoid fever, was the experience of John Rauchman of Superior, Wis., who arrived in Bemidji last night looking for the woman who left him some time ago and came to Bemidji to live with another man. Mr. {Rauchman, upon his ar- rival here, told the police that the wife had deserted him and that he believed that she was here. He gave the chief a de- scription, and the result was that in a short time the woman and the man with whom she was in company were taken to the police headquarters, where the woman’s right husband awaited her. The police arranged so that Rauch- man was concealed behind the door of the room, and the woman was wholly unconscious of his presence, She was asked a few questions and she claimed that the man with whom she was with, whose name is Siske, was her right husband and that they had been legally married. She admitted that she had been mar- ried before, but that her former husband had died of typhoid fever. The woman said that she had loved her husband and that they had always lived happily to- gether and expressed deep sor- row over his untimely taking off. She described him as helay in; his coffin and said that he looked ‘g0 sweet”’ with roses all round him. The concealed husband thought that she had reached the limit, and stepped out into the room. ¥ The tableau presented when the irate husband stepped out was one that will never be forgot- ten by those who witnessed it. Mrs. Rauchmanshowed surprise, indignation, then anger, and while in the latter mood she vio- lently exclaimed that she had never loved her husband. Turn- ing to Siske, she said, *‘This is the man T love, and I don’t care who knows it.”” She admitted that Rauchman was her right husband, and ia Judge Pender- gast’s court this morning ar- rangement were made whereby she will go back to Superior with him, where they have three children in the orphan’s home. FATHER MURPHY LEAVES BEMIDJI Will Go To Carleton—Fr. Dwyer of Carleton Takes the Bemidji Church. Fr. Murphy ot St. Phillips QCatholic church of this city this morning received notice of his transfer to the church at Carleton. He will leave tomor- row morning to assume his duties in his new field of labor. He will be succeded here by Fr. Dwyer who has been in charge of the parish at Carleton for the past 4wo years. Fr. Murphy has been in Be- midji since the beginnings of the WANT NO TROUBLE Indians on White Earth Are Not Desirous of Making A Fuss. THE EDUCATED CLASSES OP- POSED TO FRACAS. Many of the Breeds Would Avoid the Trouble With Full Bloods. A special from Washington, D. C. says the interior department| and Indian office have realized during the past few days that the Minnesota delegation in con- gress keeps almost perfectly posted on what 'is going on in their world. The White Earth sale which was to have been rather quietly conducted is now a ‘‘dead and down’’ timber proposition and as an original project of the depart- ments will be never resurrected. The allotments of the remain- ing portions of the White Earth reseryation are now in process of adjustment and Agent Thomas W. Downs was yesterday sent back to White Earth to obtain some additional information, which he did not bring with him to Washington. Mr. Downs came here rather committed to a plan to divide the unallotted lands up into tracts of twenty acres each and then ap- portion them out to the full-bloods and mixed-bloods, his argument being that it would make a more equitable disposition of pine. But Commisioneer Leupp does not deem this advisable. The Steenerson act of 1904 clearly provides that each Indian shall receive additional allot- ments, sufficient to make his total land holdings 160 acres. This land belongs to the Indians and the White Earth band rather pride themselves as being intel- ligent and thrifty and to be able to take care of a quarter section of land. Many of them, it is said at the department. are educated men and women, and they do not wish to get into a row with the full- bloods who are easily persuaded by some of the white men who have schemes of their own to work. RALPH WILL MAKE SURVEY Drainage Surveyin Northern Minnesota Will Be Made by Crookston Man. The state drainage board has decided to divide the work of making a topographical survey of northern Minnesota and John Abercrombie of Alexandria who was origianally assigned the work was today told to do the work for only two counties. George Ralph of Crookston, will make the sur- vey for six northern counties. The chinge is made on account of alleged slow work by Aber- crombie. Mr. Ralph will take up the work instantly and push ittoa finish. Upon being pressed for an interview in regard to the matter he said: ‘“Yes, that P should be permitted to relieve Mr. Abercrombie of part of his burden is an honor I appreciate. Itrust that in the handling of the topographical survey I may do work rapidly. I shall start with a crew of six assistants to Kittson and Rosean counties next Monday morning. Our opera- city.
