TEN CENTS PER WEEK LEAD PENCIL LODGES IN A CHILD'S LUNGS Small Boy, While at Play, Swallows Stub Pencil With Metal Cap. CASE IS CRITICAL, AND LAD'S LIFE HANGS BY MERE THREAD Albert Bower, 6 Years 0ld, the Victim. Parents Live Near Lake George. Little Albert Bower, whose father is a farmer near Lake George, is lying at the St. An- thony hospital in a critical condi- tion as the result of swallowing a short lead pencil, including the brass tip and the rubber. The pencil is lodged in the right bronchial tube of the lurgs, and the possibility of its abstraction is very remote, Albert was alone in the house at the time of the accident. He was playing with the pencil and had placed it in his mouth and was chewing it, when it slipped down his throat and lecdged in his windpipe. When the parents came home they found the boy mm a chokirg condition and atonce called a doctor from Akeley, but the lat- ter could not locate the obstruc- tion and advised the parents to take the child to Bemidji. Here he was placed in front of an X-ray machine and the pencil was located. The machine showed merely the metal tip, the wood casting no shadow, and it was discovered the obstruction had slipped down until it was at the opening of the right bron- chial tube. the pencil, but without result, and it is doubtful if the child will pull through. He has a fighting chance, however, says the physician in charge of the case, Just what action will be taken 1 the case has not been decided upon. An operation from the rear, the only hope from the knife which ncw remains, is said to be an extremely dangerous one, with the chanches about one in ten for recovery. On the other hand about nine per cent of the cases of a similar nature expell the substance from the lungs, so that it is about a toss- up whether to operate or leave thechild’s fats in the hands of nature. Reports from the hospital to- day are that the boy is slightly improved. He is suffering no great pain, except that he has choking spells and smothering sensations. The pencil seems to have stopped the bronchial tube so that while the air can be drawn in with freedom, it is ex- pelled with difficulty. More Indian Prisoners. Sheriff Bailey has had three Indians added to his list of red- skin prisoners, making a total now of five bucks and a squaw.! The new recruits were con- | victed at the last term of United | States court at Fergus Falls of introducing liquor onto the Red Lake reservation, sentenced to ninety days each in jail. One of the Indians also was fined $100. James Turcutt was the one who was sentenced to pay the fine, and his companions in trouble are Ke-chi-oke.wah and Joseph Beaulieu. Notice to Woodmen.

O’Brien presided at the meeting. The hall was filled with promi- nent citizens and Mr. Steenerson gave one of his brilliant speeches. He stated in the beginning that he appreciated the compliment that the citizens showed him by the meeting, and that it was one of the happiest moments of his 1life t> be endorsed by the friends] and acquaintances whor he had known here for so many years. In taking up the subjects of |the day he expressed himself as heariily in favor of the drainage movement, and of tariff revision and that he believed the tariff would be revised during the 60th congress. Taking up the subject of party bosses, Mr. Steenerson stated that he was not owned nor con- trolled by any one, and vhat his and were {own conscience and the best in- terests of the people in his own district prompted his work.

Perished in Grand Marias Woods, Here Recently. The J. 8. Lincoln, one of the men lost in the woods seven miles west of Grand Marias, and pre- sumedly forzen to death, a full account of which is given today in the Duluth papers, is sup- posed to be the same Lincoln who was in Bemidji this last fall selling a machine for perforating and protecting checks. He was successful in placing several orders in the city, among other customers being the county treasurer’s office, and the First National Bank. The account in tke Duluth Herald tells how Lincoln, to- gether with E. B. Caldwell and two other men, went on a’ hunt- ing expedition near Grand Marais. the late big storm, two of the party went to Grand Marais to get provisions, leaving Lincoln! and Caldwell alone in camp. The storm = was terriffic in that vicinity, between three and four feet of snow falling, and when! the two men returned to camp with the aid of snow shoes, they found Lincoln and Cald wel: gone. They had evidently wandered away from camp before the storm and after the snow fell lost their sense of direction and been unable to find their way back, - Searching parties so far have been unable t» find any trace of the missing men. ‘Opens Tonight.

W. B. Carlisle, “Billie” Carlisle to his friends, died this forenoon.
