WRONGED WIFE VISITS HUSBAND John London and Mrs. Said to Be Recon- ciled. ACCUSED MAN DECLARES HE HAS A STATEMENT TO MAKE For the Present, Though, He Says, He Has Nothing to Say. John Loundon, the Duluth man charged with the stabbing of Florence Flett in Baudette, and his wife, the wronged woman in the case, met face to face in the county jail yesterday. Just what passed between them has not been made public, but it is believed thata partial reconciliation between the two took place, the man’s trouble, a3 in most cases, melting the woman’s heart. Mrs. London with a friend, came down for the special purpose of seeing her husband and talking over the scrape, and returned to Duluth soon after the interview. London himself had little to! say about his wife’s visit when - seen by a Pioneer reporter. “She was here and we talked,” he said, And then he closed his lips tightly and refused to give any more information. “It is just as well not to invulve her in the trouble,”” he explained. London appeared in a cheerful frame of mind yesterday after- e London | CITY PREPARES Memorial Day Will Be Fittingly Observed by G. A. R. and Others.

The convention of the Minne- sota Drainage league, which was to have been held in Wadena on June 5; has been postponed until June 26, .

The county conventions all over the state will be held at the same time as the date pre- viously fixed for the drainage convention. Many prominent public men and politicians, as well as privale citizens,who are greatly interest- ed in the 'subject of drainage, wrote that they would be unable to come here on June 5, as they would of necessity have to remain at home to attend their- county conventions, The date has now been fixed after the state convention, and undoubtedly all be present at the meeting, as congress willadjourn in time for all members to be The secretary has written to Judge A.

He is tall and thin and wiry, a typical cruiser, which business he fol- lowed for a number of years. Perhaps the most noticeable thing about the prisoner is that he is prematurely aged.

A Barker and J. P. Omich. There was a clash in the city council last night over the new down-town baseball park. E. A. Barker, representing the base- ball association, and J. P. Omich, representing himself and two others, John Wallin and A. C. Me- Lean, argued different sides of the caseand created considerable subdued excitement. Mr. Barker appeared before the council to ask the privilege on behalf of the association of build- ing the fence to’ enclose the grounds fifteen feet into America avenue, as the leased groundsare a little short. This was granted on condition that the city attor- ney could find no legal objection. Then the question of how strongly the property owners near the park objected to the lo- cation "of the new grounds was brought up and Mr. Omich gave his side of the case. He repre- sented the two others mentioned, he declared, and they considered the proposed location a great in- jury to their property. I, for one, shall fight the play- ing of baseball there on Sunday t2 the full extent of my ability,” declared Mr. Omich. Mr. Barker defended the new site and declared that he did not believe the playing of ball there as they proposed to play it could be stopped. It was the intention of the management, he said, to cut out all unnecessary noises, such as horns, megaphones, etc. The purpose is, he explained, to run such a quiet game that it will not disturb anybody in the ob- servance of the Sabbath. The management feels that the three property owners near the park do not fully appreciite the situation. As a matter of fact, it declares, if Bemidji is to have good baseball here this year the team must have a down-town park, and the site already leased is the least objectionable one that jcan be found. In the first place, it is declared that the patronage at the old grounds, on account of the dis- tance, is so light that the assecia- tion cannot afford to incur the expense of getting good teams here. The added gate money is absolutely necessary. The man- agement has no. wish to make money, but will be entirely satis- fied if it comes out even. The men tacking the team are sports- men and merely want good games and ihe meoney back which they expend, Then it is pointed ou$ that the condition of theold ground issuch that the expenditure of a large amount of money would be necessary to put it in shape, much more than it would pay to use. Another point raised is that with the games played at the old grounds, or at any grounds so far from the center of the city, the excursionists who come into town have but little time to spend around town,being compelled to waste itin traveling back and forth to the outskirts, “UNCLE GEORGE” TALKS POLITICS Tenstrike's Oldest Settler Picks Bryan and Johnson as Sure Winners, “Uncle George” Wetsel, the oldest inhabitant of Tenstrike, and whois 80 years old and feels as young as a boy,” was in the city today and dropped into the Pioneer office for a little chat on politics. ‘‘Politics is rather quietin Ten- trike,” explained the genial old an by way of introducing the subject.
