) TO START BIG SUIT Woman Claims D‘amages‘ Against M. & L. for Injur- ies to Herself and Child. BABY NEARLY DEAD AS RESULT OF INJURIES, ' | Probable That Amount Not Less Than $10,000 Will Be Sued For. R ! One of the biggest damage| suits for personal injuries ever| tried in Beltrami county will be] instituted against the Minnesota & Internation railway company by Mrs. Alexander Dechano of] Mill Park addition to Bemld]l in the nearfuture. Mrs. Dechano has retained Henry Funkley of this city as her attorney and the papers in the case are now being prepared. She claims that on Oet. 3, 1905, she purchased a ticket for Be- midji at Kelliher and boarded an accommodation train bound for this city and that while on the rain she was thrown violently to the floor of the coach with her 4 months old baby. She claims that a number of her ribs were broken by the fall and that she| was rendered unconscious and | was taken from the train upcn its arrival here in a semi-consci- ous condition. She also claims that the little child received in- ternal injuries from which he is yet suffering. The child’s condi- | tion, it is said, is critical. She was accompanied by an- other child, four years of age, who was also thrown to the floor of the car but sustained no in- juries. Brinkman Opening Postponed.

' E. Bailey Says “We” Will Not Buy WHAT McDONALD SAYS. County Attorney McDonald has publicly annonnced upon the streets of this city that he will sue the Pioneer for the $6000 it stole from the county while col- lecting $3000 for last year’s county printing business and furthermore that he will procure an indictment against the editor of the Pioneer and send him to the penetentiary. Inasmuch as Mr. McDonald has been in pos- session of the facts concerning the county printing for the past six months or more while he has been county attorney, but in all that time has said and done nothing in the matter, till now, it is but fair to infer that his state- ment is a threat. Thmgs From the Merchants Who * Oppose “Us.” WHAT DANAHER SAYS. Chairman Andy Danaher who is not a member of the board of county commissioners from this district, but who spends his en. tire time nevertheless upon the streets of Bemidji working for County Attorney McDonald’s candidates gives it out that Bel- trami county has special favors in the way of lowering tax assess- ments for those who will support Mr. Carter and that thoset busi- ness men who will not, need ex- peet to do no business with Bel- trami county. ; WHAT CARTER SAYS., Mr. A, A. Carter, County At- torney McDonald’s candidate for mayor of Bemidji, is appoaching men who are in the the saloon business in Bemidji with the argument that he is McDonald’s candidate and that they had bet- ter vote for him if they do not want to be driven from the city. On the other hand, if they will ‘“be good”, Mr, Carter informs them that they will be allowed ' every liberty ‘which they have enjoyed in the past. WHAT BAILEY SAYS, Mr. O. E. Bailey, who an- nounces that ‘‘we’’ have no candi- date, but who is spending his time soliciting votes for Mr. Car- ter, has apparently been com- missioned to intimidate the busi- ness men of the city. He this morning approached a certain firm and informed its members that if they did not renounce ‘their support of Mr. Gibbons for mayor and vote for Mr, Car- ter “we” would buy no mor goods from, them. Mr. Bailey also hinted that unless “we’’ are successful in the present muni- cipal election ‘“we’”’ will drive eyery business enterprise of any importance from the city.

Rhoda With Stealing $4000 - From Bemidji Village. Story is Absolute Fabrication as Books of the Village Treasurer Show. An annnonymous circular, called the “Daily Times,” and supposed to be prepared by O. E. Bailey, a candidate for clerk of jeoutt to succeed F.. W. Rhoda charges Mr. Rhoda with having failed to make good a sum in excess of $4,000 lost in the Mer- !chants bank failure while Mr, Rhoda was actiag as' village treasurer, has been proven en- tirely false. Thearticle scored Mr. Graham, who at the time Mr. Rhoda was treasurer went on the bond of the latter, for not compelling Mr. Rhoda to settle with the vil- lage. f : The article is a fabrication from whole cloth. The books of the treasurer’s office show that twhen Mr. Rhoda retired as treasurer of the village he turned over every cent due the village to his successor, F. J. Kennedy., At the time of the Merchants bank failure Mr. Rhoda was not village treasurer, as his successor took the_office in March, 1900, and the failure did not occur until July of the same year. i Earl’ Geil, who is now being urged’ by the Bailey-McDonald faction’ as a candidate for city treasurer, was a member of the village council at the time of the bank failure. He stated this morning that Mr. Rhoda had paid into the treasury every cent due the village. LEEEEEEEEEFEE .ei(fiéiifi“fi!s ¥ CORRESPONDENCE 2 N TURTLE RIVER. A. O.

Washington, Oct. 24.—The con- ference between Senator Clapp, Secretary Hitchcock, Indian Commissioner Leupp and In- spector McLaughlin yesterdav over the White Earth timber sale wasmerely preliminary Senator Clapp says he expects to remain here several days, and hopes to have the matter disposed of be- fore he leaves. He has not given the appointment of Major Scott’s successor as agent at Leech Lake any consideration, and grows sarcastic in referring to that question. “I suppose if the secretary of the interior wants to appoint will do so,” ‘‘Apparently things are done in Minnesota without consulting anybody inthe state. We re- serve to ourselves, however, the right to refuse to confirm the nomination if it is made.” The order issued by the war department, retiring Major — | Scott, did not relieve him from his duties as agent at Leech Lake and it is understood here that he will remain in Minnesota until his successor is appointed, if a _|civilian is chosen, in order that he may account for property in his charge. {lecturer from Chlcago will speak | here Tuesday evening.
