Ebro, Minn., Aug. 25, (Special to the Pioneer)—The authorities are now shadowing a third party who s believed to be guilty of the murder of Wade, the Indian found dead here a week ago. At first it was suspected that the Porters were implicated, as they were with Wade, but at the inquest they proved conclusively that they had nething to do with his death. They left Wade alive at Bbro and their innocence in the matter is not doubted. Other developments havearisen and 1s is said that Wade’s brother intends to hire a detective to shadow this suspected party. An arrest may be expected any day, as the authorities are using all their efforts to establish a case against the man. The Churches BAPTIST: In the absence of the pastor, T. B.

IS PHONE EXTENSION T0 | BIG FALLS PROBABLE Northwestern Contemplating Building Line Northward From Blackduck, Present Terminus. i DISTRICT MANAGER CARTER RETURNS FROM TRIP NORTH Also Possibility of Extending Long Dis- tance Line Eastward From Cass Lake. Itis among the probabilities that the NorthwesternTelephone Exchange company, owner of the lccal exchange, will extend its present line northward from Blackduck,the present terminus, to Big Ialls, in the near future. C. D. Carter, district manager for the company, came over from Crookston yesterday and went to Big Falls last night for the purpose of looking over the land tributary to the line of the M. & I. and ascertaining the conditions relative t» putting in poles for the extension of the line. He re turned to Bemidji this morning, and assured the Pioneer he would recommend to the company that the line be extended to Big Falls. Charles Swedback, formerly of Bemidji, has the franchise for in- stalling a local telephone ex change at Big Falls and he ex pects to have the system in work ing order the first of next month. With the building of the line north from Blackduck, Big Falls and intermediate towns will be put in speaking connection with the outside world through the long-distance “hella.”’ Mr. Carter left this noon for Bena, and will look over the situation there with a view to passing favorably or unfavorably on the project of extending the long-distance lines from Cass Lake east through Bena to Deer River to connect with the tele- phone exchange at the latter place. This would give service east to Duluth from Bemidji. The Pioneer carries the lead- ing grades of typewriter paper, which sells from 80c to $3 per box. : SOME PEOPLE EXPECT NEW SHOES TO HURT And they are seldom disappointed. They buy that kind. The fart that a shoe should feel comfortable from the start is unknown to them because they have never felt the luxury of putting on a rightly made shoe. They overlook the fact that a Hanan shoe at its 2 price gives the wear of two pairs of the kind they buy. - They forget, also, that a HANAN SHOES offers more real comfort when new than their kind of people as there . know this because we sell so many more Hanan shoes than we used. Maybe you prove these facts. Look at, our latest styles in $3 50 & $5 shoes. E.H.WINTER used to be. We would like to window for the shoes offer after months of wear—that it starts out a smart, stylish shoe and ends just as smart and stylish. _ There are not so many such & COMPY PREDIGTS THE BRIGHTEST |SEVERE ENGACEMENT 'cuunfi GOMMISSIONERS FUTURE FOR THIS GITY\ 1o ExPECTED HOURLY| TRANSACT MUCH BUSINESS Miss Calihan, See,‘elary of Townsite Company, Has, Confidence‘in Bemidji Real 'Estate.

State Bank for Kelliher. Kelliher, Aug. 25.—The Bank of Kelliher will soon incorporate as a state bank, and will probably be known as the First Stitz Bank of Kelliner.
