The Bemidji lodge Knights of Pythias will give a public installa- tion of their mewly-elected officers for the first six months of 1907, and theé occasion will be taken advantage of to create in- terest in Pythianism, and in- cidentally to give all who are invited to attend a right royal good time, Z Itis the intention to give & J. R. Moore, Franklin And- erson and H. W. Cherry the men who have been selling stock in various enterprises through- out this part of the state, and which sales are claimed to have been made by various fradulent misrepresentations, have come to grief. thanks to the activity] of some Bemidji people who it is claimed were victimized and by the prompt and efficient actions County Attorney E. E. McDonald and Sheriff Thomas Bailey. Before Justice Skinvik today Cherry pleaded guilty to having obtained $5 from Kinball South- worth by fradulent representa- tions’and was fined $50 and custs of $87, or in default thereof to be committed to the county jail for sixty days. Cherry paid the fine and was released. Franklin Anderson was origi- nally arrested: on the charge of forgery.. This charge was changed and a complaint lcdged agains Anderson, charging him with grand larceny in the sec- ond degree. Moore was arrested in Minne- apolis, together with Cherry and Anderson, He employed Colonel Dodge. the ex Great Northern attorney, and at once began habeas corpus proceedings in Minneapolis, with the result that he was not brought to Bemi and the hearing of the proceed- ings will be held in Minneapolis tomorrow. g It is said that Moore, Ander- sen and Cherry represented that they were empowered to sell a certain kind of stock in the American Realty company of New York and also the American Guarnty Company of Maryland, and they secured subscriptions for ameunts said to aggregate $2,300, from Bemidji people, taking notes for the amount and having them cashed at a local bank. The stock turned out to be in the American Real Estate company of Minneapolis, the chief assets of which concern are said to consist of Moore, a clerk and a stemographer, with nocom- mercial rating to speak of. A complaint was made against each of the three men, and Sheriff Bailey was given war- rants for their arrest, late last Friday night,. The - sheriff left for Minneapolis on the Friday night train and did not arrive 1n Minneapolis until 3 o’cleck Sat- urday afternoon. Within two hours he had found his. men ard placed them under arrest. Strenuous efforts were made to prevent,’hy legal process, the removal of the men to Bemidji for trial. Moore started habeas corpus proceedings and was uv tained in Minneapolis until to morrow. However, Sheriff Bailey and County Attorney McDonald succeeded in getting to Bemidj with Anderson and Cherry and their trials were had today. What the ontcome will be with Moore1s, of coumrse, mnot p-si tively khown, but the' eyidence against him is said to be very atrong.- He is accused of having forged a note on Dr. Tuomy and also with having passed it. 0dd Fellows’ Banquet To all 0dd Fellows and Re bekahs and their friends who are holding invitations for the reception at I.

This is a piece of 2 9% |news to me and I think also to the kind ever attempted in this city. A pumber of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Hazen took them by surprise last night. After meeting at the home of J. J. Doran, they went in a body to the Hazen residence and took possession of the place. They had with them a liberal supply of good things to eat, and a large reclining chair, which the friends bad bought as a token of friend- ship and congratulation to Mr. and Mrs. Hazen on the 35th anniveraary] of jtheir wedding. Mr. Hazen was not at home, but a scouting party soon bai bim in “tow” and.brought him t the house, where he was rendered speechless by the demonstration of the friends gatliered at his bhome. The chair was presented to Mr. Hazen by J. Bisiar and “Al.” was simply dumbfounded; but he looked his pleasure. The evening was passed with card playing, vocal and instrumental music, much of the entertain- ment being afforded by a phono- graph furnished by E. L. Naylor. At a late hour, an excellent supper wasserved. The occasion was a most enjoyable one. Rev. White Surprised. The members of the congrega- tion of the Presbyferian church and personal friends of Rev. S. E. P. White yesterday presented him with a purse containing $50 in-gold; as a Christmas gift. /777" Do Birds Sympathizet ! Anlmals experience grief over the Courtship In Baltimore. Observations extending over forty - years convince us that in Baltimore most courtships are begun about the middle of October, when the evenings grow chilly and sitting in the par- lor becomes comfortable. Just before Christmas there are often halts, due principally to a certain reluctance cost- ly to venders of Christmas gifts. But. after the holiday season there Is com- monly a rapprochement, and along toward Jan. 30 there arrives the pe- riod of preliminary and-tentative os- culation. The middle of February sees Clarence advance to the strangle hold, and by mid-March Angeline is giggling with her prospective bridesmaids over the detalls of her trousseau. April and May are spent by Clarence with the the party that wrote the piece. I think it is a little premature to canvass those things just now, but when the time comes you may say to my constituents that your uncle T. J. will be on hand a real live candidate. It is use- less to'say that I have done the best in. my power to serve the 20d ward and I think most of] mosey sharks, foating & money loan them are satisfied.
