LONDON BLAMES |THESE WILL VOTE |WALKER DOWNS THE POLICEMAN Declares International Falls Officer Should Have Arrested Miss Flett. VICTIM, UNSEEN, WATCHES MAN AS HE BOARDS TRAIN Prisoner Is Taken to Stillwater This Morning to Begin Sentence. “1f the International Falls officer had done his duty there would have been no trouble,” de- clares John London, who begins his term in state prison today for the stabbing of Florence Flett in Baudette. “The woman had taken $150 belonging to me and Iswore out a warrant for her ar- rest, but the policeman failed to . lock her up. He is the one to blame for the whole affair.” London looked up trom his dinner Sunday, as the Pioneer representative entered the jail, with an exceptionally bright smile for a man with six months in Stillwater awaiting him. “How’d do,” he said, ‘‘there are a few things I want to say before leaving town.” The prisoner paused to take a few more mouthfuls of beans and meat and then went on. “T have been thinking of giving you a big story, one that would tell the details of the affair from the beginning to the end, but I have changed my mind. I would like to have you say, though, that Iam going to pay that fine my- self. Ihave got the money and am going to put it up. I neyer had to sponge on my friends yet and am not going to now. “I also wish you would say that the only reason I pleaded guilty was because I didn’t want to drag the names of a number of prominent people into the case, as would have been done if I had been tried. “I am well satisfied with the sentence and I want to thank Judge Spooner and County At- torney McDonald for their kind- ness to me, I also want to thank Sheriff Bailey and th2 boys here at jail.” London was taken to Stillwater this morning by the sheriff, and there was a.woman at the station to see him off, of whose presence he was not aware. It was Flor- ence Flett herself, the victim, and although she kept carefully out of sight of the prisoner, she watched him narrowly as he stood on the platform and as he hoarded the train, A Good Show. One of the best minstel shows that has struck this city in many months was the one given at the city hall Saturday by the Picket Minstrels. The troupe is com- posed of artists and the songs and ‘“stunts” are bright and catchy. The act where Mr. Picket changes from black to white, reversing the usual order, was especially fine. The Espan- ola trio was also a hit of the eve- ning, as was Frank Brown the buck and wing dancer, and W. B. White the comedian. A Fine Catch. C. W. Newberry and Harry Chesterman came down from Crookston Saturday evening and spent yesterday on lake Bemidji fishing. They were accompanied by R, W, Hitchcock and several others. They had exceedingly good luck and succeeded in pull- ing about 200 of the finny tribe from the lake. The two returned to Crookston on the morning train and are spending the day distributing the fish among their friends. Read the Daily Pioneer, R. K. Rustrald of Turtle River is in the city today on a business trip. The Misses Minnie and Cassie Smith came down this morning from Ripple and will leave this afternoon for Grand Forks, where they will spend a short time visit- ing with friends. Miss C. B. Stewart has ac- cepted a position at O’Leary & Bowser’s as cashier, taking the place of Miss Mae Villeman, who * expects to spend the summer af _Yellowstone park.

Not an earned run was made off their delivery, ten errors being made behind them, Sprague, Huzen, Winters, Collins and Halstiencontributing. Rogers, for Walker, pitched a masterly - game, striking out seven men and allowing but five hits. Halstien got two of these, and LeGore, Collins and Hazen the others. The loss of Summers and Farley LeGore has been a great blow to the team, as the scoring machine is entirely broken up, and time and again two men were on bases only to have the succeeding batsman either strike out or pop up a weak little fly. The material is here for a good team and with Summers back to round out the infield, the boys want to take a brace. The team is a little sore over the work yesterday and an effortis being wade to have Walker play here again Sunday, when Be- midji will endeavor to turn the tables. MARKET QUOTATIONS.

They lay on others the fault of their irritability. A fit of in- digestion makes them see imperti- nences in everybody they come in con- tact with. Innocent persons who nev- er dreamed of giving offense are tonished to find some unfortunate word or some momentary taciturnity mis- taken for insult. Of course, such a mental condition is due to too muech thinking about self and to-an exagger- ated self esteem, even though uncon- sclous. The best remedy is to pers ently put thoughts of self out of mind. Find something more absorbing and more elevating to think about if you are one of the touchy ones, and you'll soon lose the habit. A Storm Above the Clouds. Professor John Wise, the eminent aeronaut, who lost his life in making a balloon ascension on Sept. 28, 1879, gave the following description of a thunderstorm which he once viewed from the “top side:” “The view of a stormeloud from above is one of the most interesting sights ever beheld by mortal man. A storm viewed from above the clouds has the appearance of ebullition. The upper surface of the cloud is bulged upward and outward and has the resemblance of a vast sea of boiling, upheaving snow. Immedi- ately above the stormcloud the air is not so cold as it is in the clearer at- mosphere abové or in the cloud itself. The falling of the rain can be distinet- ly heard, making a noise like a water- fall over a precipice. The thunder heard above a stormclond is not loud. and the flashes of lightning appear like streaks of intensely white light on the surface of the gray colored vapor.” To_ Oust Bridge Company, Co]uml;qs, 0., June 4.—Attorney @General Ellis has ordered Assistant Attorney General Harrison to besin ouster proceedings against the Indian- apolis Bridge company for failure to comply with the laws of this state while doing business in the state.

UNIFORMS Clothes Ordered Today—Band Go- ing After Tournament Prize - at Cass Lake. The Bemidji band is to be fitted out in brand new uniforms, made in the latest style and as pretty as the twin city tailors can fashicn them. An order for the new clothes was sent in to the cities today by Manager John Graham and they should be here by the middle of the month. The uniforms will come just in time for the firemen’s tourna- ment at Cass Lake and the band will ‘present a good appearance on that occasion. The local boys are figuring on carrying off the prize’ in the band contest and with the “glad rags” should have no trouble in doing so. Last evening for the first time this year, the boys gave an open air concert on the city dock, and those who were fortunate enough to beon theirporches oron ornear the lake between 8and 9 o’clock enjoyed the music immensely. “MIKE” IS OFF FOR THE WEST Popular Great Northern Express- man Leaves Tonight for Helena, Mont.

Naco, Ariz;, June 4.—Latest advices from Cananea, Mex., where a race riot occurred between Mexicans and Amer- icans, resulting in the death of some fifty persoms, several of whom were Americans, say that the DMexicans burned property valued at $250,000, in- cluding the lumber yards and general affices of the Greene Mining company. The Mexicans then left the lumber yard and dynamited a powderhouse near the Sonora hotel to secure arms and ammunition. Here the Mexican police attacked the mob and a flerce battle ensued, several officers and a dozen strikers being killed. The trou- ble originated over the refusal of the Greene company to grant an increase in wages asked by Mexican workmen. A train carrying 100 men has left Naco for Cananea. Twenty-five armed men came from Bisbee and are guard- ing the American line here. There has been fighting hetween this party and Mexican customs officers. The posse started to cross the line a few miles below Naco and was fired on by Mexicans in ambush, Oné man named Buckner was shot through the arm and several men are missing. Shots are frequently heard and it is feared that others may be killed or | [1 hurt. It is not known whether any of 2] the ambushed Mexicans were killed. Americans Arming for Defense.

It is said that United States Consul Galbraith wired to the state department that his life and that of all Americans in the camyp are in danger. Colonel Greene has tele- | phoned for every available armed | man that can be secured at Bisbee ! and Douglas.
