E.HWINTER & CO TELEPHONE NO. 30. BEMIDJI. BURNED LAST SATURDAY Clothes Caught Fire from Kitchen Stove —Alone Four Hours After the Accident. Mrs. I. M. Foster, who lives about a mile south of the city, was 80 badly burned Saturday afternoon that she 1s confined to St. Anthony’s hospital, and only the prompt services bf a physi- cian saved her life. | Mrs. Foster was alone at her home, and was working around the cook stve. She gas putting some wood in the stove to re- plenish the fire, wheh in some manner the gingham apron which she wore caught fire and all her clothes bocn\iae ignited, enveloping her entire’; person in flames. Mrs. Foster snatched a blanket from a bed uid wrapped herself in it, but the blanket also caught fire, and the! frightened woman rushed to a barrel of water which stoud in the room and threw the water on her clothing until the flames were extinguished. Mrs. Fostor was badly burned from the waist line to the top of her head, and was in terrib'e pain and entirely exhaustad by her experience. Mr. Foster was away in the woods at the time of the acci dence (2 o'clock in the after noon) and she was prostrated in her bed untill 6 in the eve- ning before her husband re- turned home and found her. Mr. Foster hurried to this city and secured a pbysician, who went to the Foster home and found that she had been badly PARK TO BE APPOINTED Pasition, with Allowances, Considered a Good One.—Heinzelman Formid- able Candidate. Among the “jobs” to he given out by Governor Johnson this year is that of the Itasca state park for the ensueing two years. Colonel Bullard, who was ap- pointed to the position two years ago, resigned Jast November, and since that time the com- missionership has been filled by a deputy. Among the candidates, and the one thatat present seems to be in the lead for the posi- tion, is Martin Hinzelman, who lives on the Worders of the park. He is thoroughly qualified for the position and will probably be appointed by Governor John- son. ) The position pays but $50 per month as salary, but the pri- vilege of managing the park lodge and hotel is considered a ‘‘good thing,” as considerable is realized from visitors to the park. The Itasca State Park was established by the Legisiature in 1891, the Government of the Uuited States, by an act of Congress, contributing that por- tion of the area which remained FINE ROLL-TOP DESK| POOR GHILDREN, TUESDAY : Token of Personal Regard and Appre- Presents Will Be Given, and Needy ciation of Services Rendered the City as Mayor. Mayor A. A. Carter has been made the recipient of an early Christmas gift that he will ap- preciate probably as much as anything that may be given him during the holiday season. The gifti is a handsome roll-top desk, and was presented to Mr, Carter by W. L. Brooks, cashier of the Lumbermen’s bank, with the compliments of the season, aud a8 a token of appreciation of the services rendered the city by Mr. Carter during his present term of office as mayor. The desk is finished in antique oak, has num- erous drawers and compartments and is just what the mayor needs in which to file papers and re- cords of municipal affairs. Mr. Carter has done b-siness with the Lumbermen’s bank for several years, during which there have always been pleasant rela- tions between the mayor and Mr. Brooks. The giving of the desk is but one instance of the fact that the majority of the people of Bemidji are well satisfied with the manner in which Mr. Carter has presided over the affairs of the city since he was elected as a part of public domain. There are two small additions to the park, one at the north end at the outlet of Itasca Lake, containing about 160 acres, and a strip of land on - the east side of the park area, known as the Chree Mile Strip, three miles mayor. Ex-Senator Mausten Here. Ole Mausten, ex-state senator representing th3 52d legislntive} district, came over from his home at Aitkin Saturdiy night| and remained in the city until long and an eighth of a mile burned, her -body, “rem the waist to the top of her head, being gcorched untill the flesh was raw. Remedies were ap- plied for the temporary relief from the burns and Mrs, Foster was brought to St. Anthony’s hospital, where she 1s now con- fined. The attending physician states tkat while Mrs. Foster was ter- ribly burned, she will recover, her wonderful nerve and stam- na aiding greatly in the treat. ment being given by the phy- sician. “Indian’s Revenge,” “Merry Frolics of Satan” and the illus trated song, “Colleen Bawn” at the Bijou from Tuesday until Friday.

Aubole of Crookstor, deputy i1 ternal revenue collectcr - |for this district, came in yester- day from an official visit to Akeley, Park Rapids and Cas: Loake. Mr. Aubole’s visit at this time is mainly for the purpose of reminding the cigar mann- facturers of the district'that tte annual inventory of the factories comes due the first of January. On the correctness of these in- ventories much depends, as it is the only manuer in which the exact production of a factory is ascertained, and a shortage in the amount of stock that the government estimates should be on hand, dedueting the amount aciually made 1nto cigars, means trouble for the 'n.anufacturer. Mr. Aubole reports nothing of moment doing in his department, beyond the usual routine of busi- ness, He intends to spend Christmas in Crookston, wide. The park is beautifully timbered with evergreens and deciduous trees and wonderful mosses and flora of various kinds, including three species of the state flower;the purple, the yellow and an intermediate variety, which blooms in the month of May, about the size of a small silver cdin, Fresh turkeys, chickens, ducks and geese for Xmas at Boyers 820 Minn., avenue or 'phone 203, Holly, tree trimmings and decorations at The Model, 1f the crowd don’t happen to be going your way, go its way and spend an hour of amusement at the Bijou.
