Norval Baptie, the little world’s champion speed skater, who is well known in Be- midji, has written a friend -here thst he would Jike to give an ex- -hibition here, and it is more than likely that he will be secured.

HAD BEEN WORSTED IN A FiS- TIC ENCOUNTER WITH HAGADERN — Hagadern, Whose Recovery Is Doubt- ful, Taken to Hospital.—Towers Is Arrested. Brainerd, Minn., Dec, 27.—As the result of a street fight be- tween two men at East Brainerd Christmas William Hagadern. one of the combatants, lies prob- ably fatally wounded at St. Jo- seph’s hospital, and Harry Tow- ers, theother, islocked up at police headquarters, The two men have been on bad terms for some time, engaging in a street fight here abouttwo weeks ago over some pretty matter. They met on the streets agaia Christmas day and trouble began at once with the result that Towers was severely beaten, Hagadern, thinking that the trouble had been settled per- manently, paid no further at- seen in his usual haunts around the town. A short time later, while about to enter a saloon A few more words passed be- ently defying Towers, the latter immediately bringing the gun to his shoulder, and firing point blank. . Hagadern fell to the pa‘ement, and it was found that lodged in his stomach, lacerating it tosuch an extent that recovery is said to be impossible. Towers immediately left the scene, evidently fearing- violence atthe handsof Hagadern’sfriends many of whom had congregated. Towers was arrested and held pending developments. If Hag- adern dies, the charge will be murder in the first degree. Both of the men are wellknown here and have been highly re- spected. Thsy were employed at the Northern Pacific Railroad company’s shops. Mauy Bemidji people who are ex-residents of Brainerd are well acquainted with both Towers and Hagadern, who have lived in Brainerd for several years. Nye Company Pieasing Everybody. The Nye company had another large audience out last night _to see “A Fatal Scar.” The play proved to' ‘be & military drama, and caught on. The moving pictures of the Britt-Nelson fight were excellent. Mrs. Nye, in the role of Eve, a ray of sun- shine, played her part very nicely. Messrs. Shaftner, Ea Cour, Rigdon, Moates, Way and Jewel all had good parts in last night’s play. Tonight will be given the cele- brated drama ‘‘Deadwood Dick,”’ iatroducing the trained bear, “Queen.” This is one of the best plays in the company’s repertoire. The amateur contest is excit- ing considerable interest and twelve contestants have entered. Owing to the close’ proximity of the holidays, it has been deemed advisable to admit ladies free again tonight, Saturday night ‘“‘Jesse James, the Missouri Outlaw” will be produced, This play is a strong one and: abounds in ‘excellent comedy. Mr. Shaftner will play the title role Saturday night. Dance Tomorrow Night.

T0 RAISE SALARIES OF DISTRICT JUDGES Judiciary of the Fifteenth Judicial Dis- _trict Now Receiving but Very Meager Pay. It does not pay to trifle with Bemidji business men by intro- ducing fraudulent ‘‘get-rich- quick” schemes by the purchase of stock. Franklin Anderson and H. W. Cherry of Minneapolis to- day paid dearly for their scheme of misrepresentation in connec- tion with selling stock in the “American Realty Company” and delivering ‘“American Real Estate Company” stock for the money received. Yesterday Cherry plead guilty before Justice Skinvik to the John Nordling, a resident of Oglo. Marshall county, Minn,, who has been in Blackduck for & week past, was yesterday commited to the insane asylum at Fergus Falls, after having been examined by the sanity board. Nordling had for several days been going about the streets and business places. of Black- duck acting very strangely. with a vacant stare in his eyes, and suspicion was entertained that he was not.just ‘right’’ in his mental parts. He was taken in- to custody Tuesday, and yester day morning was “brought to Bemidji by George Horton, chief of police at Blackduck, and Jobn McDougall, assistant chief, and taken before M, A. Clark, Judge of Probate, to be examined as to his sanity. The sanity board, consisting of Judge of Probate Clark, Drs. Blakeslee and Smith, conducted an examination’ of Nordling, and also heard the testimony of several Blackduck peopleas to Nordling’s actions. It was learned .that Nordling lived at. Oslo, Marshall county; and he stated that he had been ing a brother, Peter Nord- ling. It was decided tosend Nord- ling to Fergus Falls for treat- ment, and he was taken there yesterday afternoon by Sheriff Bailey and Deputy Sheriff Arne Solberg. BILL SHOULD BE PASSED TO PAY $1,500 ADDITIONAL SALARY The District Is a Large One and the Personal Expenses of Judges - Are Large. One of the important matters to come up before the coming session of the legislature, and which will effect the fifteenth judicial district will be a bill effecting the salaries of the district judges. The experience of the past few years shows an increasing work for the two judges’ and at a much added cost-of ex- pense to them in the way of fravel and time spent away from home. Much of their time they must spend away from home, and the meager salary allowed them is far to small for the services required aud their ex- pense greater than that of the judges in any - other district. The fifteenth judicial district comprises the counties of Ait- kin, Crow Wing, Cass, Hubbard, Itasca Beltrami, Clearwater and Koochiching, an area of 18,900 square miles which is over one fifth the entire area of the state and but little less tharn one fourth. The trip to Inter- national Falls and return re- quires a necessary travel of. 1040 miles, and it takes™ four) days-to make this trip. The entire district is com- prised of the newer counties of a large'area and.the holding of the terms of court area long and tedious affair, and as each county has two terms there are at least sixteen general terms and a number of special and adjourned terms. So great is this work that the judges are required to adjourn some of the general terms in one county to take up the general term appointed by law in some other county, and then return at a later date to finish the term un- completed at the time of adjourn- ment. A comparison of the work done by the judges of this dis- trict with that performed by the judges of Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis counties will serve at this time to show the inconsist- ency of the law governing the salary of the judges paid in this district. In these counties the judges are required to go away from howe but very little; their work does not commence until 9 or 10 in the morning and with two hours for noon and closing at 5 o'clock their labors are con- sldembly shortened. ‘ifia law. Whlch applies to those coffities théir district judges are paid an additional $1,500 per year from the county treasury. This plan is feasible in the counties of the fiiteenth district and if passed the pioportiona e share for each county for the two judges would amount to only $31.25 per month. The Fifteenth judicial district bas in Judges McClenahan and Spooner, two good officials and it is important to the district that they be retained as'long as pos- sible. They should receive a compensation equal to thatof the judges in Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis counties. . In the selec- tion and retaining of distiict ‘judges we must take into consid- eration their personal interests, social .interests, financial and proverty interests. Their office is a mot timportant ove. It is alsoone of the most expensive, as the judges are| obliged to- spend considerable ‘money in travel and time away in all to $135.95, and there is still a charge of grand larceny in the second degree hanging over him. Andersvn was arraigned before the justice on the charge of grand larceny, waived examina- tion and was held to the district court, He asked to beallowed to appear before Judge Spooner and enter a plea of guilty, which was ‘done, and Anderson was sengenced to pay $200 or serve six months in the county jail. He paid the money. Thereis another charge pending against him, forgery, and that has been con- tinued, as was the second charge against Cherry. J. R. Moore, the prime mover in the stock-selling game, is i Minneapolis, where he began habeas corpus . proceedings. These will be argued today, and in case the proceedings hold good and Moore® is released, Sher: Bailey and County Attorney Mec- Donald have new warrants that will be served on him and he will undoubted be held to answer for his “smooth” work. MRS. I. M. FOSTER STILL IN GRITICAL CONDITION Goethe’s Last Moments. The story of the deathbed of Goethe teveals a striking picture of fortitude, artistic calm and intellectual activity ander the chilling dews of death. The Information is gathered from a letter written on March 23, 1832, the day aft- er Goethe's death, by Fraulein Louise Seldler, an art student and close friend of the poet’s family. On the evening before his dissolution, with an Icy coldness taking possession of him and the death rattle beginning to be audible, Goethe, with his daughter-in-law by his side, would talk of nothing but his pet theory of color, of the treaty of Basle, of his desire that the children should go to the thea- ter, of his plans for the near future. As sleep did not come with the night, he called for a newly published volume of history, and covered his inability to read it with a joke. Even at 7 o'clock the next morning, just three and a half hours before he dled, he sent for a portfolio to talk optics and was setting himself to classify some papers when the last agony seized him. He then lay motlonless, notwithstand- Ing its violence, till respiration ceased . and - the heart stood still.—London Globe. Her Body, From Waist Line to Top of Head, a Mass of Cooked Flesh. The condition of Mrs. I. M, Foster, who was so badly burned at her home last Saturday after: noon, is still critical, and the poor woman suffers much pain. Her body, from the waist line to the top of her head, is simply & mass of cooked flesh, and it -re- quires continual applications of remedies on softlinens and other cloths. She was taken to the home' of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Barrette, in this city and has been given every care and attention possible. However, her condition reqaires constant care and the assistance of persons in the city would be appreciated. Mrs, -Foster has shown re- markable nerve and fortitude in her suffering, ‘and” it is hoped that she will recover, but the pro- cess will be slow. How to Handle Your Horse. Decision should never in handling horses be confounded with unwise de- termination to have things your way. In this application it means the faculty of doing the right thing at the right in- stant and may be cultivated by fre- quent practice with all sorts of horses, and of course no bands were ever de- veloped by handling any one anlmal or any one kind of a horse. It is decision that gives the band the momeat the B horSe ylelds; that uses the roughest methods at-a pinch; for hands are by no means always delicate of touch; that frustrates the most determined at- tempts of kicker, rearer or bolter; that picks the best road; that makes the animal carry himself to the best ad- vantage for the purpose of the moment. Decision is very close to Intuition in effect. Decision dominates tha sitw- ation at many_critical moments, and the horse is quick to discesn anil to pre- sume upon its absence. There is no such thing as a safe partnership with a - horse.. You must be the master or he will be, to your certaln future discom- | fiture.—F. M. Ware in Outing Maga- llne. 3 N.
