CHARGES FALSE IMPRISONMENT George Beaton Starts $1,000 Damage Suit Against John Billideau. A suit for $1,000 damages, the grounds being malicious prose- cuticn and false imprisonment, has been started by Frank Beaton of Blackduck against John Billi- deau, also of that village. Beaton was arrested in Blackduck some time ago at the instance of Billi- deau, the latter claiming that Beaton had stolen $43 from the till in his restaurant while hewas gone. When the preliminary hearing was held the case was dismissed, there being no evi- dence upon which to hold Beaton. Billideau is in the city and has retained Henry Funkley as his attorney. The case will come up for trial at the next term of dis- trict court. Naval Office Discontinued.

Washington, May 5—The house committee on public lands today, by a vote of eight to four, decided to take no action on Secretary Hitchcock’s recom- mendation to abolish the office of receiver of public money at local land offices threughout the country.

During the evening, it was an- nounced that the grand chancel- lor, Mr. Bartram, had resigned his position as head of the grand lodge, the resignation to take effect at 6 p. m., Friday evening. Mr. Bartram toek this action in order that Thos. H. Hineline, of Minneapolis, vice grand chancel- lor, might serve four remaining days of the term as grand chan- cellor and then be subject to the position of pastgrand chancellor, a position which Mr. Bartram has already previously attained. During his seven months term Mr. Bartram has installed 12 new lodges, which is the best showing of any domain in the United States. Mr, Bartram is beloved by every K. P. in the state. By his many acts of kind- ness and devotion to the order he has made a host of friends who hope that he will again fill the position of grand .chancellor. The work of the Bemidji de- gree team at Blackduck received much praise from the grand officers. Chancellor Commander Miller was heartily commended for his labors in behalf of the new lodge, as were the rest of the Bemidji brethren. It waa impossible for two or three members who have responsible parts to be present but the substitutes did very well. $27.40 to Denver & return !roil St. Paul or Minneapolis via Chicago, Great Western Railway.
