DAMAGES Wade Welker Starts Person- al Injury Suit Against City of Bemidji. SUSTAINED BROKEN LEG IN JANUARY, 1905. Post at Corner of Fourth Street and Beltrami Avenue Caused the Accident. Wade Welker, employed as a salesman at the general store of E. H. Winter & Co., has started a suit against the city of Bemidji for $5,000 damages claimed by him for injuries received in the month of January, 19035, a year ago. At the time of the accident Welker was in the employ of Winter & Co., as a deliveryman and drove a delivery sleigh. It is claimed by him that while driv- ing past the Swedback block, corner of Fourth street and Bel- trami avenue, his sleigh struck a post and he was thrown from the sleigh, receiving a broken leg as a result of the accident. The city is responsible for the damages asked, it is claimed, because the post which caused the accident was located several feet from the sidewalk and was therefore in the street, which is owned by the city. «.. AINusements .... Theatre goers of Bemidji will learn with pleasure that the coming attraction, “The Liberty Belles,” at the City Opera house next Friday night, will introduce into our midst for the first time that charming and inimitable little actress, Toby Craige, who will portray the part of “Margery Lee,” tLe stage-struck school girl. Asa mimic and imitator of other well known actors and actresses she stands alone with possibly the one exception of Elsie James. She possesses a rare and rich soprano voice which she shows to the best of advantage during the opera in both solo and ensemble work. Miss Craige has recently signed contracts for a starring tour next season, opening early in the fall at the Broad way Theatre, New York, ina musical drama now being completed.

Ghe Palace of Sweets Great Northern Ticket Audi- tors Cannot Sit With Them. The Great Northern road has the name of being accommodat- ing, but it-draws the line at keep- ing men on the pay roll for the express purpose of furnishing entertainment for the lady pas- sengers who patronize its trains. Train auditors who were eyident- ly of the opinion that ‘“‘mashing” was to be a part of their duties have been called to time, and an order has been issued prohibit- ing them centering their atten- tion upon any one member of the gentler sex while drawing a salary on the company’s time. Recently the Great Northern placed a number of ticket audi- tors on trains to assist the con- ductors. The reason for this, as given out, was that the conduc- tors have all the work they can attend to looking after the opera- tion of the train, without having time to devote to the wants and comforts of the individual pas- sengers, Besides helping in the collection of tickets the auditor was supposed to do all he could to gain for the road the lasting friendship of the patrons, new and old alike. On its face, this appeared to be agood idea. The auditors ap- Special Recommenditioh Will Be Made Regarding Overflowed Lands. Attorney E.

Mr. Crawford spent some time at the national capital in the interests of settlers living on the banks of the Mis- sipp1 river between Bemidji and Cass Lake, whose lands were overflowed throngh the operation of the government dams. The government offered to settle for the lands overflowed, but the price per acre offered to the set- tlers was refused by the latter, ‘who claim that the lands over- flowed were worth easily $25 per acre, Mr. Crawford states that he received assurances from the head of the engineering division of the war department, Gen.

FIRST TIME AT POPULAR PRCIES L pointed set about their work with energy and interest. They figured that they had a snap, and—some of them at least—that they would be able to get a little pleasure as well as money out of their work. Their instructions said nothing about who their attentions were to be lavished upon, and those of them who were young and good looking and unmarried, and, sad to relate, a few of the others, al- so, found it mu¢h more pleasant to pick out some attractive lady passenger who was traveling alone, and who “appeared to be lonesome and in need of mascu- iline company and assistance, and to put practically all of their time 1n looking after her comfort and entertainment, than to scat- ter their attentions broadcast among the general run of pas- sengers. It seems that many of the auditors followed out their dusires in this matter, and the practice of neglecting the major- ity became so general, it is said that news of it reached the head officials, and a stop order was issued. One clause of the order is understood to read as follows: “Train auditors will under no conditions be allowed to occupy seats with lady passengers.”’ QUARTER OF BEEF STOLEN Dr. Ward Will Swear Out Search Warrant for Party Under Suspicion.
