H ; WILTON AGENT Arrested in Bemidji Charged With Trying to Pass Forged Draft. BECOMES AGENT FRIDAY, LANDS IN JAIL SATURDAY H. G. Page of Local Office Sus- pects Forgery and Causes Man’s Arrest. Roy O, Kane, agent for just one day for the Great Northern at Wilton, is now in the Beltrami county jail and must answer charges of having forged and at- tempted to utter three express orders, Kane was arrested by Chief of Police Bailey Saturday night on complaint of the local agent, H. G. Page, and is being held awaiting the action of J. G. John- son of St. Paul, Great Northern route agent, who is expected in the city today. Kane checked in as agent at Wilton only Friday, and Satur- day ke arrived in Bemidji and started in to exhaust the visible supply of “booze.” He pawned one draft for $15 for two silver dollars with Al Hazen of the Merchants hotel, and finally drifted into the local Great Northern express office with an order drawn on the Minot office for $48:50. Mr, Page looked atthe order and at once suspected fraud, as he is acquainted with the Minot agent and the name was not 'cor- recton the draft. He asked a few .questions and then tele- vhoned for the police. Kane is a man of middle age and claims that he has a family in Indiana. There is a third draft missing from the draft book but it has not yet been traced. CARS DERAILED, TEAR UP TRACK Journal on Freight Car Breaks Last Night Two Miles From Bagley.

BRYAN Surprised When Informed of In- dorsement for President by State Conventions. Berlin, June 11.—William J. Bryan today expressed surprise when informed of his endorse- ment for the democratic nomina- tion for president by a number of state conventions. As to the possibility of his ac- cepting the nomination if it were tendered him, he had little to say, declaring that it is too early to speak of that question, He discussed the political re- quirements of the day at length and declared the democratic plat- form must be one of progress and reform C. F. Dittey of the town of Blackduck is a business visitor in the city today. Mrs. Griffin came down this morning from Ripple to do a little shopping and expeets to re- turn home this evening. E. K. Anderson drove over to Turtle yestesday morning to call on Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Simkins. .He returned home late last even- ing. C. R.

The Bemidji ball team added another victory to its credit yes: terday, when the White Earth Indians were defeated by a score of 9 to 2, The Indians had been heralded as a fast and agressive bunch of ball tossers, and it was expected that they would give the locals something of a contest, but the game proved very one-sided, though not lacking altogether in interest. There was a fair-sized crowd on hand. LeGore and Holestein were the battery for Bemidji, and they did good work. LeGore struck out eight of his opponents and allowed two batsmen to walk, and six hits were secured off his delivery. Beaulieau pitched for White Earth and LeRock caught, Eleven hits were made off Beau- lieau. He struck out cne man and gave three bases on balls. LeGore, Hazen and Collins each secured two-baggers, and Burg led the Bemidjites at the bat, getting three hits. Bemidji made three errors and White Earth six, . The feature of the game was the all around playing of Bow- man, second baseman for the In- dians. He got four hits, hitting the ball inte safe territory every time he came to the plate. He had eight chances at second base, and erred but once, and that being on a grounder that took a nasty bound. -Bowman formerly played in the Iowa State league. Weaver played third base for the Reds. He goes this week to play with the Hancock team of the Northern-Copper Countryleague, The Indians are not nearly so strong as when they played here last year, several of their best players having left for other places. The playing of the locals was much better than on the previous Sunday.

The Third and Fourth districts were not recognized. John Lamb is moving. his family down from Grand Forks to Diamond pont, where he has & summer resort. TO OUST BOSSY FROM CITY PARK Residents Along Lake. Shore| Object to Heedless Picket- ing of Cows. Residents living near the lake boulevard and the park are com- plaining that unconsiderate owners - of cows are using the park as a pasture ground. The result, they point out;is to practically spoil the grounds for pleasure seekers, besides making it unsightly and unsani- tary. Bossy, they declare, is alright in her place, but they do not think her place is m the city’s parlor, the park. i VILLAGE FEARS A “FIRE BUG” Albert Marshik Three Times Visited by Fire Under Pe- caliar Circumstances. Cass Lake thinks it is harbor- inga “fire bug.” Last week a barn belonging to Albert Mar- shik was burned during the night and the residence in which the family was sleeping was saved with difficulty. The Cass Lake Voice has the following to say: How the fire originated 1s un- known but it is the general opin jon that Mr. Marshik is the vie- tim of the fiendish work of an in- cendiary. This is the third time within the- past two years that Mr. Marshik has had property destroyed by fire. Two years ago during: the ab- sence of almost the entire fire department at the tournament at Grand Rapids, the building occupied by Mr. Marshik as a saloon was completely destroyed by fire. Justa little over a year ago the residence occupied by him south of the viaduct was also made food for the flames. The fire of Thursday night would bear out the theory that it was of an incendiary nature and the firebug certainly chose a most auspicious time for his devilish work. The wind was blowing a gale out of the south- west and the residence was directly in the path of the flames MERRY SCRAP IS 'ON AT BAUDETTE 01d Postmaster Refuses to Give Up Office to New Appointee. Dan Hyland, recently ap- pointed postmaster at Baudette, is having a hard time getting possession of the office, accord- ing to the Crookston Journal, J. L. Williams, postmaster, was removed because he was act- ing as agent for a brewery. When Hyland ‘went. to take pos- session of the office Williams re- fused to hand over the postal matter. Hyland appealed to the department and was instructed to demand possession in the presence of witnesses, He did that and Williams again refused to accommodate him, In order to solve the difficulty the department has instructed an inspector to proceed to Bau- dette to take forcible possession. Secretary Hitchcock has -de- cided the famous Baudette town- site case, which has been before the land office and department for several years. There were three parties seeking possession, Thomas Cathcart who has occu- pied the land for twenty years and has put $8,000 worth of im- provements on it, the townsite trustee and the Canadian North- ern railroad, which claimed forty acres for terminal purposes un- der a special act of congress. The secretary has decided that the railroad has the prior right of selection and patent will issue to it. Hurt by Horse. Mrs. E. A.

Clyde clasped her hands over’ her knees and looked after it with a done. I'm in no mood this summer to play the mother confessor.” She threw out her hands in a gesture of impatience with herself. Then she drew a letter from the pocket of her walking skirt and' reread it. It bore | the postmark of a distant college town and was brief. Stoddard Parker was completing his college course, and in three months would sail for Hongkong to represent the interests ‘of a large shipping firm. In two days he would pass through Lake Castro and had’ found that he could wait over there two hours, catch- ing the next train south. *“Would it that wait?’ he wrote. “I shall proba- bly never again have the opportunity, the gratitude I owe you from the old Institute days.” “Gratitude!” mused Clyde. “Always gratitude. Ah, well.” Her eyes dream- ily followed the train which was carry- ing her reply fo Parker. For eight years she had been the favorite teacher and, as she styled her- self, the mother confessor to the stu- dents of a college preparatory insti- tute — young' men of widely varying ages and mental equipments. It was their habit to consult her on every sub- Ject from the color of their cravats to . their love affairs, to quote her as final authority on every subject, to— Clyde abruptly ceased her reverie, stuffed the letter ‘into her pocket and arose. Along the path above the rocks she swung with a free, graceful and independent step. She was tall and. |teet tall, broad and big.

There are few things I didn’t and I feel that I must express some of | {y to teach him, from the conjugation of Latin verbs to eating with a fork! He came from a farm, you know, a way back country farm.” That night in her room Clyde reread | the letter and the telegram, then blew out her light and sat beside the win- jdow thinking. How many times dur- |ing the four years of his institute course had she said to herself, “Here is a'man I could easily love—if"— But he was only one of her numberless stu- dent worshipers, nothing more. There were always so many to wor- ship ber, to sing her praises, to call her the finest teacher, the most helpful friend, the most intellectual woman, and she strove to be content with rev- erence, honor and adulation—and her work. The happy, upward lines on her face, the upward curve of her lips, in- | dlcated content. But sometimes a hunger for that something more which slender, with too much of the mental’ and spiritual and too little of the phys- feal for perfect symmetry either in form or character. Her face was color- less, save when embarrassment touc ed her cheeks aflame. Her eyes, terested, were cold, but when the spir of vivacity possessed her they glowed and sparkled with fun and wit, trans- forming her into the fascinating wom- an around whom the institute students grouped themselves and worshiped. The following day she received a tel- egram. “Will stop off from 9 to 11. Stoddard Parker.”. The hot color suddenly flooded her cheeks, but she revenged herself on it by laughing lightly and calling to her sistéer, “Annie, I have a caller from ,- to wear. white. | she never received beset her. She was i hungry and restless now in her sister’s | quiet summer home at Castro. ! " Next morning she came down to . breakfast dressed ‘in white.

If she should act like & self conscious girl before Stoddard 1| Parker! In a pause she made her boat fast to a_ bent tree overhanging the shore and hurried up the path through the groye to the station. The whistle of. the express caused -her - throat to throb uncomfortably. \ “I’ve lost the last grain of my common |(sense,” she thought indignantly as she paused at the station door. Parker stood on the rear platform, smiling at her before she saw him. As he swung himself down and clasped her hand in an unwelcome flash her old thought, abridged, rushed over her. “Here is a man I could love”— Four years of college life had swept away the “if.” : She realized it as she looked into his eyes. His old awkwardness and the jconsciousness of his deficiencies were | gone. His old earnestness and honesty looked straight at her, and the touch of his hand conveyed that subtle, name- less something which had always drawn her until she had been obliged to hold herself by that “if.” As they passed through the station. Parker, with a courtly bow, held the swinging door open for her to pass. Clyde recalled the day many years ago when she, with gentle tact, had taught the big farmer student that lesson in courtesy, and a sudden sickening real- ization of age swept over her as she stepped out on the path. As she led the way to the boat she talked rapidly, urged on by a fright- ened desire to reassure him that she al- ways regarded herself as his elder friend and sister.. When they reached the shore she turned and announced briskly: “Here s our boat, and over there,” pointing, “is my home.” Parker stopped and looked down at her with his old, slow smile, which re- vealed an undercurrent of tenderness that was a strong attribute of his na- ture. “Suppose we don't go across the lake,” he began persuasively. “It's so pleasant right here under this tree. I believe that trunk curved itself over expressly to make a seat for you to rest on now.” He held out his hand to assist her. It was odd to hear him suggesting and directing. As his teacher that had always been her prerogative. The col- or flushed into her face despite her ef- forts at perfect self control. “Yes, it seems made for a mother confessor,” she responded brightly, lay- Ing her palm in his outstretched hand. As it closed over hers she was shaken by a sudden passionate protest against their former relative positions of teach- er and student—a passionate desire to be just a girl again here among the flowers and sunshine. Parker sat on the mossy bank at the roots of the tree and leaned forward, an elbow on his knee. He laid his hat beside him and looked at Clyde grave- ly. She settled back agalnst the tree trunk, glad of an excuse to shield her eyes from the sun—and him. I(Gom.im.led in temorrow’s daily.) BEMIDJI SPECIAL Sold and guar- anteed by Geo. T. Baker & Co.
