PETERSON DEAD; .ATE CONCENTRATED LYE Man Who Gave His Wife a Terrible Beating, and Was Committed to Beltrami County Jail, Succumbed at Poor Farm Yesterday. —Was Sorry for His Acts,.—Drank Heavily. Iyer B. Peterson, who was committed to the covnty jail to await the action of the next grand jury on the charge of assault, and who has been an in- mate of the county poor farm for treatment for bad burns result- ing from swallowing concen- trated lye, died vesterday after-! noon at 8 o’clock. Since Peterson was taken from the county jiil and removed to the poor farm, he has suffered| much, and gradually wasted away until his death yesterday. His mouth, throat, and as far as one could see down his throat was a mass of raw flesh, burned by the lye, and al! the nourish- ment he was able to take was milk, and toward the last a little olive oil to ease the pain from thej burns. His body was emaciated | by his enforced fasting. Peterson, wholived at Williams Siding, near Beaudette, was ar- rested on the charge of assaultj on the person of his wife, whom | he gave a terrible beating, while he was under the influence of liquor. It was stated among neighbors that Peterson had assaulted his wife on several previous occasions, and as he had been drinking very steadily, it was decided to put him under arrest, with the result that he! was bound over to the grand jury and committed to the Beltrami county jail. While he was being held at Williams. he swallowed a lot of lye, which burngd him terribly, Before Peterson died, he rid himself of the effects of the alcohol which he had drank and was exceedingly sorry for his acts, He asked and received ad- vice from several members of clergy, and was sincerely re- pentant. Peterson stated to Superin- tendent Philbppi that he had a wife and nine children, at Williams, and that he had left them with a large amount of flour and $200. He desires that his wife be sent for, but she has not yet arrived. If Mrs, Peterson does nov appear by tomorrow morning, the body will be in- terred at the poor farm. A Happy New Year.

Many Bemidji , friends will be surprised to learn of the mar- riage of Miss Espie McLennan a former resident of this city, at Grand Rapids, Minn. The Grand Rapids Herald Review says of the wedding: “Mr. John M. Poole and Miss Espie McLennan were united in marriage. at the home of the bride’s parents, Pokegama lake, on Christmas day, Rev. Holls R. Scott of the M. H. church performing the ceremony. There were present only relatives of he™ contracting ~parties. The' groom is one of Itasca county’s most prosperous farmers and it is said that he has been made an offer for his lands by the Oliver Iron Mining campany that would make him independ- ently rich. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. McLennan and may also Le claimed as a daughter of Grand Rapids, as here she spent herI childhood days and grew t» womanhood. For a period the family lived at Bemidji and In- ternational Falls, returning to Grand Rapids about three years ago and settling on a fine farm located on the shore of Pokega- ma lake three miles southwest of town. She is an estimable and popular young lady of charm ing qualities. Mr. and Mrs. Poole immediately went to house- keeping on the farm. The Herald-Review joins many friends in wishing them happi- ness and prosperity. Tricks of the Trade. “This wazch,” said the apprentice, “runs too fast. I'll regulate it.” “Do mothing of the kind,” sald the, Jeweler. “Why not?” the apprentice asked in surprise. “Because,” the other explained, “the owner teaches music.” “But hanged if I see”— began the puzzled apprentice. “Listen,” the jeweler interrupted. “When watches are left here, never regulate them unless there is a special order to do so. Some people—music teachers, for Instance—want their watches to run a little fast. So do cabbies. 8o do fencing masters. Other people want their watches to run slow, Builders like slow running watches, and so do ministers, and so do men who play bllliards by the hour."—Hx- change.
