Crookston, Minn.,, May 25.— J. O. Sjoquist, living on Sec. 14, town of Stokes near Badger, left home Sunday afternoon to go to a neighbor, Mrs. C. E, Campbell, who lives a. mile north of the Sjoquist home, ostensibly to 2ot a dress that was being made for her, but as she failed te return her brother went in search of her. She had however not called at Mrs. Campbell’s and further in- quiry next day among the neigh- bors revealed that she had taken a northerly course and had been observed to pass Fox post office late Sunday evening. Her father and brother have made diligent search all week and up to last evening no trace of her had been found. The girl, whose name is Signe, is rather large for her age and is robust in looks, When she left home she wore a gray woolen dress, short gray jacket, and a brown cap with white ribbons. She'had been rather morose since the death of her mother something over a month ago, and also the death of her baby brother two weeks ago, and it is thought possibly her mind may have Tbeen affected. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of the girl will do a great favor by notifing J. O. Sjoquist and re- ceive a father’s benediction. ‘rhe First Son.

FIREWORKS NEXT THURSDAY WHEN CASE COMES WP AGAIN County Attorney McDonald Says Mayer Boasted Jury Would Not Conviet Him. It’s ajury trial for the two witnesses who were arrested for gambling at the close of the trial of C. H, Miles, Wednesday. That is Alderman Matt Mayer is to have a jury trial; Judge Skinvik has not yet decided as to Frank Silversack, The case against Mayer was called before Judge Skinvik this morning, but after the jury was decided upon, the case was con- tinued until next Thursday, when the fireworks will begin. The question of whether the guilt or innocence of Mayer should be determined by a jury rather than by the city justice created considerable argument and no small interest, the case against the alderman being the first one called. County Attorney E. E. McDon- ald, who represents the city, in this action, objected to the grant- ing of such a privilege. The city charter makes it optional with the justice whether he hear the case or put it in the hands of a jury. The defendant does not have the right toa jury trial. Mr. McDonald objected on the grounds that since Mayer con- fessed on the stand at the Miles CHILDREN GIVE FOR MONUMENT Pupils of Public Schools Contrib- ute to the Chief Bemidii Fund. SUM BETWEEN $17 AND $18 RAISED FROM SMALL GIFTS Each Pupil Contributed Five or Ten: or Twenty-five Cents. The school children of Bemidji have joined the movement to raise a fund for the purchasing of a.monument to place over the grave of Chief Bemidji, and have given a sum aggregating be- tween $17 and $18. The task of raising this money among the children has been in charge of ‘Superintendent A, P, Ritchie and he has succeeded in arousing considergble enthusi- asm in the school. The sum each pupil has given is not large, varying from five and ten cents in most cases to twenty-five |cents in a few instances, but it counts up into the dollars when added together. Following is a list of those who have given: FIRST AND SECOND PRIMARTES Edith Mills - Carl Tennstrom James Klungness Edna Backlund Llyod Knott Mabel Graham Mable Gaines Lucile Balley Vera Albrant Surley Hammond Laurel Robidean Kern Olson Harry Marin Ellen Newman Lawrence Carter Charles Harmer Dennis Harmer Lucene McCualg Elle Robinson Elle Robson Rebecca Goldberg Donald Smith Floyd Knott Severne Huck FIRST GRADE Mazel Beaumont Alfred Brauthen Harry Brauthen Freddie Phibbs Tommy Bishop Joe klungess Lee Thomas Paul Hitchcock Margaret Mayer Olga Skinvik Dale Walker Louise Pryor Ralph Omstadt Ruth Tennstrom Claire Hawking Mazel Rayne Stanley Rogers Dorothy Carson Julia Norauist Freddie Klien Dora Roe Gladys Underwood Allen Chase trial that he was present on the night ot the offense and gambled himself, his motive in wishing a jury trial could be nothing ether than " to escape the penalty through the prejudice, or sym-|§ pathy of the twelve men sitting in judgment. The county attorney also offer- ed to make affidavit that the alderman had stated to different parties on the streets of Bemidji that he was going to demand a jury trial and that there was no jury would ever convict him. Also that the defendant had stated that he would offer asa defense that he was present in his official capacity as an alder- man of the city gathering- evi- dence. Mr. McDonald then showed by the charter that this is no part of the duty of an alderman, but rests with the executive officers of the city. Attorney Charles W, Scrutchin, representing Mayer, took ex- ception to the records showing the objections stated, since it was mere hearsay as to the defense and immaterial at the present time, . He also argued that this is a case where the burden of a decision ought to be thrown onto the shoulders of a jury. Judge Skinvik heard the argu- fendant’s request. He declared that, while if he wished to be arbitrary, he could refuse the request, he desired to be as liberal as possible this tire. The sheriff is to draw the venire. The question of whether Silversack also shall be granted a jury trial will be disposed of on that day.

CHILDREN HITCHED TO PLOW Wisconsin Farmer Accused of Inhu- man Practices. Oshkosh, Wis., May 25.—Complaint has been made against a farmer living about five miles southwest of Neenah that he has been hitching four of his seven children to a plow and compel- ling them to drag the implement through a ten-acre truck garden whilo he guided the plow and drove as he would drive horses. ‘This sensational complaint is found ed upon facts, as farmers in the vicin- ity and persons from Oshkosh riding along the highway in carriages and Shipoff of Moscow. It is also rumored that Prince ‘Ursoff has been appointed min- ister of the interior. The prince was formerly assistant minister of the interior and resigned when the old council of the empire re- fused to accept his project to remove the religious limitations from the schools. He has since| been elected to the lower house of parliament as a constitutional democrat. automobiles have witnessed the c¢ruel practice. The attention of the authorities has been called to the matter and after Securing substantiation of the facts of the case Dr. Wilkie of this city, agent of the Fox River Vall® Humane so- clety, went to the farmer and com- pelled him to send five of the children to school. Dr. Wilkie states that the plow is a heavy affair with harnesses attached to it which were put about the shoul- ders of the children. The farmer says the plow is a corn plow. INDIANS FLUSH; | ANNUAL PAY DAY| Government Is Distributing Large Amount of Cash at " €ass Lake. These-are gala days at Cass Lake, for the Chippewa Indians are being paid off by the govern- ment, and a large amount of money-is being placed in circula- tion at our sister ciiy to the east. This is the time of the govern- ment’s annual payment to these Indians, and the Indian being a spendthrift, no sooner gets his money than he immediately pro- ceeds to spend it The merchants of the reserva- tion town are well aware of this and from long experience know just what to buy for Uncle Sam’s wards. The payment is being made by Indian Agent Simon Michelet and his assistants, J. E. Perrault and J. Van Metre. The payment will probably be completed today. JAIL NOTHING IF MEALS GOOD Henry Martin, Indian, Creates Laugh in Justice Court This Morning. “‘So long as we get good meals at the jail it doesn’t matter much whether we stay there twenty- six days more or not.”’” This is the philosophy of Henry Martin, one of the Indians now held at the county jail because of the recent scrape just off the reserva- tion, and its announcement in justice court this morning created some little amusement, Martin with his wife and mother-in-law, Bah-zhe-duay-loe- dum-oke were up before Judge Skinvik on a charge of drunken- ness and the old lady pleaded guilty and was sentenced to twenty-six days in jail. County Attorney McDonald asked the buck if he would object to having the cases against him and his wife continued until the expira- tion of the sentence. He hesi- tated a little at first, -evidently counting up . the length of im- prisonment it would mean, then gave the answer that created the laugh. New Haven, Conn., and Return $26.00.
