I-llllllllllllllllllIlllll-llllllllll DEEECTIVE PACE TWO BASKETBALL GAMES |HAS PENCHANT FOR ABUSING HIS WIFE Iver P. Peterson of Williams Siding Blacked His Wife's Eyes and Broke Her Nose. WAS ARRESTED AND BOUND OVER TO THE GRAND JURY Unabie to Furnish Bonds-.-Brought Here by Sheriff Bailey and Placed in Jail. Sheriff Thomas Bailey re- turnsd yesterday from Baudette and Williams Siding, and brought with him for confinement in the Beltrami county jail Iver P. Peterson of Williams Siding, who was bound over to await the action of the next grand jury on the charge of criminal assault on his wife, Anna Peterson. The sheriff was at Baudette and was told of the actions of Peterson, who had beaten his wifein a terrible manner and had been bound over by the justice at Williams Siding, in the town of McDougall, about twenty miles west of Baudette. Peter- son was placed in charge of the constable at Williams. While he was, under charge of the con- stable Peterson grabbed a can of concentrated lye and swallowed a quantity of it, with the evident intention of making away with himself. It took the combined efforts of all those in the house to restore Peterson to partially normal conditions. He had been drinking heavily of alcohol for some time and was in bad con- dition, and with the lye that he had swallowed was nearly crazed. He was taken in charge by the sheriff, who brought him- safely through to Bemidji and lodged him in the county jail, where he will be closely watched. Peterson, according to his neighbors living about Williams, has abused his wife previously, and the last time he left her face in a pitiable condition, both eyes being blackened and her nose badly battered, and the people decided that it was about time to put a stop to such inhuman treatment, hence his arrest.

The Grand Forks Lumber| company is one of the logging concerns that is making excel- lent progress on the winter’s cut of logs, despite the heavy snow storms and blocking of the woods. This company has large hold- ings of pine in the LaSalle lake country, about twenty-five miles southwest of Bemidjiin Hubbard county. Three camps have been established, and 200 men are coastantly employed in the work of swamping, sawing, skidding, etc. The work is progressing very satisfactorily, according to A. L. Crocker of this city, the general manager for the Grand Forks company. Five million feet have already been cut and skidded and will be dumped into LaSalle lake. The cut will be continued as rapidly as possible. These logs will lie on the ice until the spring thaw, when they will be driven to Bemidji and taken from this city by rail to the company’s mill at East Grand Forks, Mr. Crocker stutes that Walker & Akeley, which concern also owns large tracts of pine in the LaSalle country, are cutting, hauling and loading on cars at their camps there 200,000 feet per day, and that they. also, are not bothered to any great extent by the deep snow. The timber cut by this company is hauled to Akeley and sawed in the Red River Lumber company’s saw- mill at that place, a railroad bav- 10g been built from Akeley di- rect to the camps. Hans J. Ausiand Has Resigned. Hans J. Ausland, representing the Twohy-Eimon Merchantile compuny of Superior, who has made his headquarters at: the Markham hotel in Bemidji, “left today for his home to spend the holidays. The Twohys, who bave been in the wholesale grocery business in Superior during the past twenty years, recently sold out their interests to & syndicate headed by Homer T. Fowler, Eimon Bros. and others, who are going to - take charge of the business after January 1. Mr. Ausland, with his genial diposition, has made scores of friends in this vicinity and secured much business in his territory for his firm, but he will not be connected with the new concern, and states that he has excellent reasons for resign- ing. Mr. Ausland is now con- sidering a flutering offer from one of the largest wholesale houses-at the head of the lakes, and his Bemidji friends hope that he will be us again after the New Year Body Taken to Edinburg, N.

TOOK ADVANTAGE OF POSITION TO IMPOSE ON LADY IN HACK Arrested and Given Hearing---Bound Over to Grand Jury and Sent to Jail. “Dude” Smith, who lived in Bemidji last winter and drove a hack about the city, has been arrested, in East Grand Forke, charged with a serious crime. Concerning the matter, the Crookston Journal says: ‘A% an early hour last Satur- day morning in East Grand Forks ‘Dude’ Smith, hack driver in the employ of Jeff Bartin of the East Side attempted to crim- inaliy assult Mrs. Agunes Bierds- man, & young married woman, who resides in Rugby Junction, K. D, while she was being con- veyed from the G. N. depot in Grand Forks to the home of her uncle on South Fourth street on the East Side. ‘“‘While the att:mpted assault was made early Saturday morn- ing, no arrests were made until Sunday morning, the police kept the matter a secret until they had an opportunity to land the man whom they suspected of baving committed the crime. ‘A young married woman en- gaged a cab t» take her from Grand Forks to East Grand Forks and when within a block of her destination she discovered she was nct on the right way. The woman tlaims that . Smith " |got off from the cab box, put the weight on his horses, opened the cab door and grabbed her by the throat, {demanding that he be allowed to ravage her person: She struggled and-fought. She alleges that Smith attempted to tear off her underclothes and at the same time held his hand over ber mouth. She resisted his attempts, however, and during the fight knocked one of the cab windows out with her foot, secur- ing her release partially and commenced to scream for help. Then, 'that Smith left the cab and drove her to her uncle’s house, On leaving her, the woman claimed that Smith told her not to say anything about the trouble and she swore that she was so frightened that she willingly agreed not to mention the affair. “On entering her nncle,s home the young lady related her sen- :sational experience to her rela- tive and Saturday the matter was reported to the police who im- mediately commenced an invesa tigation, which resulted ia Smith’s arrest on Sunday. “That is the history of the matter in brief. “The cab window was intro- duced in evidence and also the testimony of three cab drivers who saw Smith take the woman in the cab from the depot. “Smith is married to a woman ‘in the hollow.’ He is charged \with the same offense a week ago.” Annual Fair Was a Success. The annual fair and supper given Jat the city opera house Tuesday evening under the au: spices of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the M. E, church was well at- tended, and the receipts were of gcod proportions, $60 being real 1zed.
