The other five witnesses were men who had been with Brand- ley on the fatal night. They tes- tiied that he was drunk and that they saw him fall off the bench in front of the Star theater. Coroner Marcum and Dr. Henderson believe that the man was not murdered atall, but that he fell off the bench as described and that the shock of the two- foot fall was too much for his heart, weakened by excessive stimulants. They declared that they found the right side of the heart in a weakened condition. Their explanation of the broken nose and the ugly looking bruises on the dead man’s face is that they were caused by the fall of two feet. Leather Dreeches. A hundred and fifty years ago the farm hands aad house servants of England were clothed in leather. A good pair of leather breeches was said to pass from father to son as an heir- loom._ Then a boy went to school as well protected as an armored cruiser. The author of “Didisburye in the '45” offers some observations upon these articles of common wear: The test of a good pair was to try if they would stand upright of themselves when no- body was In them. If they would do 80 they were good, strong stuff and likely to last for many years. My father remembered a prentice lad com- Ing to his father, whose fond l’lmtll&'rl had provided him with such a and they were the means of a “v: of fun” in a game that is unknown in these days—that is, for the boys to set the breeches upright and then jump Into them without touching them with the hands. It was probably a pair of such leather breeches that the Windsor boy was wearing when George III asked him if he did not know that the man before him was the king. f “Yes,” said the boy. “Then why don't you go on your knees, and you might kiss the king's band,” said the king. “Because I'd spoil my breeches,” Flags, 9x12 feet, each [ 4X8 “ (13 Cotton flags, from 1c to, eac!

Cochrane is an old offender and Rutledge has had him under surveillance for some time, The warden left Bemidji on Monday night’s train, and went quietly to work to land Cochrane. He found the latter in the stable at his home, where he was skinning one carcass, and had already cut two others in two. Deputy Sheriff Fred Fish was called in and Cochranejwas arrested and taken before Justice Huston. The prisoner saw the futility of resisting the case against him and pleaded guilty, paying in all $115 and costs for his little pas- time of violating the game laws, This arrest and conviction was made inside three hours, and it will undoubtedly have consider- able effect on clearing that part of Itasca county of the bad bunch of pot hunters that have infested the country around Grand Rapids.

There can be no delay and if those entered do not show up at that time they are going to getleft, that isall. The parade will be one of the most wonderful things ever pulled off in Bemidji, Neither time, labor nor money have been spared to make this event the equal of anything in the parade line ever pulled off either in this country or in the capitals of Europe. At an expense of thousands of dollars the management has secured the services for this occasion of ‘several of the . noted personages of the old countries, Everyone has heard of Baron Butinski and Countess Noaceount. Their last appearance was at the quecn’s jubilee and they agreed to come to Bemidji only after a small fortune had been held out as an inducement. Another noted character will bhe the duke of Argyle, second cousin to a half sister to King Edward. He-will be here in full royal ivery, and will be drawn through the streets in a gilded coach and behind eight prancing horses.

The Langor Township celebra-i tion was held at the Peter Amnn-| son school instead of the Wood | Lalze school. Our rood overseer is doing some good work. The latest be- ing the repairs on the Langor and Inezroad which are being placed in excellent repair. Land seekers -were here the other day looking over the fertil- ity of the soil in this township, They were well pleased with the land here and found Langor one of the best townships in the county, ) Jumpers of the Sea. Many of the inhabitants of the sea ! are good jumpers and some have be- come famous. Among them should be mentioned the tarpon or silver kiaig, a~ huge fish with scales that gleam like silver. In the Pacific waters the tuna, an ally of the horse mackerel, is noted for its leaps. Sometimes a school sweeps up the coast, and the powerful fish, often weighing 800 pounds, are seen In the air in every direction. They dart like an arrow, turn gracefully five or six feet in the air and come down, keeping the water for acres in a foam, and, if not the greatest, they are cer- tainly the most graceful of the jump- ers of the sea.
