STORY AS TOLD BY YOUNGSTERS FREES ALL FROM ANY BLAME. Body Brought in Yesterday, and the Funeral Will Be Held Tomorrow Afternoon. The latest, and apparently the true version of the tragedy at Lake Marquette yesterday after- noon which cost the life of little Fred Wheelock, is that the latter was holding the shotgun in his own hands when it was dis- charged. All the boys'who were in the party were badly confused and excited after the shooting, and even now it is almost impossible to get a conpected story out of them as to just how -it all happened. Here is their story, however, as nearly as can be learned: They had been shooting ata target-and had exhausted nearly all their shells and had guit. Eddie Brinkman was in the tent, Cl rence Welch, Jchar ieMilesand Johanie O'Conner were standing about ten feet from Fred Wheelock, who was on the lake bank and had the one shotgun in the crowd. The other bnys had three 22 calibre rifles, Suddenly the toys heard a report, saw the flish from the shotgun, ‘and. saw Fred fall. They realized “in an instant-that something terrible had happened and yielding to their firstinstinet e et e, HANSON WORKING HARD: SHOULD WIN NOMINATION| Candidate for State Senate Has Been Spgnding Considerable Time In Beltrami County.

Clarence Welch and Eddie Brinkman wentas far as E.E. Chamberlain’s farm, where a team was hitched up and the Chamberlain boy drove them into town. Mrs, Chamberlain at once set ont for the camp. The other boys had given the alarm at Godbout’s and Olson’s farms, nearby, and the ladies from these places hurried to the camp, the boys returning with them. Upon reaching the spot where the boys were camped, they found Fred lying bleeding in the sand on the shore. The charge of shot had struck him in the right side of the head, tearing off a portion of the-ear and carrying away a large piece of the skull. Death must have been instan- taneous. They wrapped the head in a towel and the body in a blanket and waited. In the meantime the Welch and the Brinkman boys had reached town and told the startliog news here. It was necessary that someone should go for the body with a team, and E. H. Winter volunteered for the| task. He took one of his delivery rigs, and with Dr. Ward, Roy Wheelock, an elder brother of the_dead boy, and Clarence Welch, set out for the camp. i It was necessary to tie the: team at Olson’s farm, about a mile from the point, and proceed | by boat the rest of the way, and | in returning advantage was taken | of McLachlan’s big “North Star” to take the body to where the rig had been left. Mr. Wicter and his party with; their sad load arrived in town; shortly after 6 and the body was taken~at once to the morgue. The coroner viewed the remains: and decided, after Ahearing“t.h@l story of the accident, that no: inquest was necessary. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock from thei house. | A. T. Wheelock, the dead boy’s father, was'at Fosston when the accidert occured, and was im- mediatecly notified. -‘He returned home last night. He and the mother are nearly prostrated | with grief. Fred was a bright, lovable boy of 14 years. He was popular among his youthful companions, and was considered py his elders as one of the best boys in towa.: Star Rays, ‘What causes the rays or pencils of light that seem to be thrown out by every star when seen by the naked eye? A German scientist finds that all stars show precisely the same rays,’ but that in- the case of the brighter stars the rays are plainer and some- what longer. It i§ further remarked that the rays seen by the left and right eyes differ, and that if the head be turned the ras are rotated in a corre- aponding mauner. It is thus concluded that the source of the rays is not in the stars, but in the eye itself, the middle of the retina being not perfectly homo- geneous in its sensitiveness. TEN CENTS PER WEEK BAD INDIAN DEFIES - LAW AND OFFICERS Red Laker, Wanted on a Murder Charge, Proves an Artful Dodger. U. S. MARSHALL AND FORCE PLAY PEEK-A-BOO WITH RED Indian’s Brother, Ke-Chi-Oke-Ma, Has Been Arrested on a Boot-legging Charge. Frank Tuffts, deputy United States marshal, spent last night in Bemidji and left this morning for Walker. Hehad in custody an [ndian by the nagia of Ke-chi- oke-ma, who he a.:r&ed on the Red Lake reservation, near the Indian agency, on the charge of boot-legging on the Cross Lake reservation, a district of the Red Lake reserve. He took the Indian to Walker this morning and will give him a hearing befcre Daniel DeLury, U. 8. commissioner. While Mr. Tuffts was on his irip he made a futile effort to lo- cate a brother of the man arrest- ed for boot legging, who is wanted on the charge of being connected with a murder committed on the Cross Lake reservation more than a year ago. 2 The red who is wanted has many friends among the Red Lake Indians and whenever the government boat appears near where be lives he is warned in ample time to make his escape into'the dense forest, where it is uiterly impossible to locate him. The Indian is always armed 'with a rifle and aTevolver and is a desperate man in an encounter. However, Mr. Tuffis is confident that he will land his man, in the near future.
