Greeley, Former Bemidji Newspaper Man, Mrs. Eliza F. Greeley, who held a homestead near Ripple, was found dead Saturday morn- ing a half mile from her home- stead. 3 The evidences about the body indicated that she had frozen to death. It is thought that she went out into the woods sur- rounding her cabin, became lost and after making vain efforts to reach home bécame fatigued, 13id down to rest and while sleep- ~ng was overcome hy cold. She had been absent from her home about a week and a search was {pstiyuted, resulting in finding her dead fiody. Mrs. Greeley was mother of A. M.

GOOD GOVERNMENT| County Attorney McDonald, chief solicitor of votes for A, A. Carter, withdrew from the first ward caucus. He was the ouly Ivention of one then proceeded to nominate Chester Snow and George McCrea for aldermen 1Bot;h gentlemen declare that they do not want the honor and Mr. McCrea declares that it will be impossible for him to attend to the duties of the office should he be elected as he is away from bome nearly all the time. A. A, Carter, the Bailey-Mc- i Donald candidate for mayor, n ' working against the adoption of the charter did his utmost to prevent the natural development of Bemidji. Mr, Carter worked for days upon the streets, devot- ing practically his entire time, in| an attempt to defeab city organ. ization. =~ Mr. Gibbots on the other hand worked actively for the charter. Bemidji wants a man who will go forward not backward, Nothing more strikingly shows the littleness of the men who are seeking to perpetuate them- selves as political besses in Be- midji than their action in regard to the bill of the Pioneer for pub- lishing the synopsis of the char- ter. The bill amounts to $11,52. The pablication was nuthorized[ by the charter commission, and, the bill for work was approved; by the officers of the commission the contract having been let to the Pioneer which was the low est bidder. The rate charged 12 cents per folio, was less thah the actual cost of Settitig the matter, The general laws of the state provide that the council shall ellow the necessary €X- penses of the charter eommis- sion. Will any Same man deny that thi§ -<was a necessary ex- pense? The council allowed all other bills contracted by the) commission amounting ¥ some $500, but to this $11.52 bill, be- cause it was presented by the Pioneer, which is opposing the BaiteyMcDonald candidates, is objected to and declared illegal {and the official organ of the Bai- ley-McDonald ring considers it worth nearly a column of space. The bosses of the Bailey-McDon- ald ring appear to be about the $11.52 size. Ever man who votes for A. A. Carter for mayor votes to put in power men whose eyery official act is taken solely with a view as to what there is in it for them selves, The record of the board of the county commissioners the past year is an illustration. The board is controlled by Chairman Andy Danaher and County At- torney McDonald who are now seeking Mr. Carter’s election for their own purposes. During the past year, while these men have controlled the county board, not one single claim presented by the Pioneer has been allowed, al though some of these claims are now ten months old. Two of the claims were disallowed, after be- ing held up for months, while upon the others no action has been taken. This is the way these men do public business, using public offices to reward their friends and punish their political enemies. Bemidjiis a city now and starts right in by closing up everything except the press—The Itasca News. Yes, and the county attorney even threatens to close up thLe new Scandinavian newspaper if it dares to take any partin public affairs The registration books requir- ed by law to be furnished by the recorder to the election judges were not furnished and it was necessasy for the friends of city organization to have these print- ed and bound this morning. Whether the recorder has mneg- lected to furnish these supplies for the election through ignor-| ance or through a desire to block the organization of the city in every possible way is a matter for conjecture. Not a day passes that the sup- porters of Mr Carter for mayor do not spring some new cam- paign lie in their desperate en. deavor to elect Mr. Carter. The latest is that Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Swedback have offered to withdraw if the opposition to Messrs Bowser and Graham in 'MANY DUCKS IN FOUND DEAD |BEMIDJI'S FIGHT FOR of the ring, is supremsly redicu- lous. = Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Swedback’s election is already assured while Mr.' Bowser and person that did. This rump con-| Mr. Graham wil ke named as aldermen from the first ward by a yote of four to one. The desperate Siraits in which r. Oarter’s supporters find themselves is illustrated by the attempt made this morning to put a list of illegal voters upon tbe registration lists in the fourth ward. O. E Bailey ap- peared before the judges and handed them a list of .eight names of men whom he claimed boarded at the Remore hotel. An investigation showed - that but three of the men boarded at the other five being entirely un- known, Astortisy Henty Finkiey, who Was Gquoted in the. McDonald- Bailey campaign circular as say- ing that he had given up hope of Seeing John Gibbons elected mayor, this morning denied the statement which appeared in the circular last night and said that it was simply a lie. Mr, Funkley says that since Mr. Gibbons an- nounced his candidacy for mayor he has been with him and will|§ remain with him until after the votes are counted. — Mr. Gibbois was named for mayor by the business men of, the city—by the men ®ho stood for and ageomplished city oLgan- ization, He did not seek the office—it sought him, It elected he will owe pis office to the efforts of the business men of er,dji while Mr. Carter will owe his office to the Bailey-Mc- Donald ring. Bach one will gerve the people who elect, him, The business man’s interests is} everybody’s interest. The inter ests of the Bailey - McPonald faction is the fattening of them- selves at everybody’s expense. o=, Yesterday while polling the fourth watd Charles Swedback entered ¥ certain saloon and lodgirg house and secured the names of the proprietor and his bar tender. ‘“Have you any other voters here?” inquired Mr. Swed- back. “Well, we've got a lot of fellows here that we have been boarding for the election” was the frank reply. Query: Who is paying the board of those “fellows?” Ower E Bailey is circulating the report that the supports of Gibbons haye quit, Omer warm. ed the story over from the char ter election when the anti-charter people vigorously ciiculated it. But when the votes were counted the charter people had 117 the best of it. Same story now—| same results. Mr, Carter’s supporters are apparently afraid to let the peo- pie of Bemidji know who they are. At least they keep as much in the dark as possible. The “Daily Times,” which frankly anounced that its sole reason for existence was to accomplish the election of Mr, Carter,is ashamed or afraid to acknowledge its edi- tor or editors. Nobody knowsl who is responsible for the politi- calarguments which appear in the sheet. Some say it is Mc- Donald, some think it is O. E. Bailey, some lay it to Doc. Rut- ledge, and there are others. A campaign argument that nobody has the courage to father is a good thing to I e suspicious of. i BEMIDJI LAKE iHunters Eftjoy Good Sport in Shooting Down Members <of'Northern Flight.
