Flieschman, wife of Chas. Flieschman, one of the oldest settlers in Beltrami county, died at the farm home, three miles north of the village, Thursday fore- noon at 9:30 o’clock, after an illness of several years’ duration. Mrs. Flieschman has been a sufferer the past three years and everything that medical science could accomplish was done for her. As a last resort she was taken to Rochester about three weeks ago, and after a thorough examination it was found that she was suffering from inflammation of the pancreas, and nothing could be done for her. Mrs. Flieschman returned here and has since gradually weakened until death ended her earthly suffer- ings. Mrs. Flieschman was well liked and highly respected and had a wide acquaintance. She was a member of the Royal Neighbor lodge of this village and carried a life insurance policy for $1,000. The funeral was held from the family home yesterday afternoon, Rev. F. A. Bascom officiating. The body was taken to Bemidji today and interment will be made in the family lot at the Greenwood ceme- tery. A number of the Royal Neighbor lodge members followed the remains to their last resting place. The deceased leaves a husband and nine children, who have the sympathy-of the entire community.

Big Falls, June 22.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Phil Beland, a settler living on the Sturgeon river, has be- come a raving maniac, and has left his home and is now hiding in the woods along the river, pursued by a crowd of his neighbors, bent upon his capture and restraint. For some time past, Beland, who is a young man of industrious dis- position and a hard worker, has imagined that he is sought by “Pine Island” lumbermen, and a few days ago this hallucination took posses- sion of his mind, to the exclusion. of every other thought except seeking a place of refuge from his pursuers. Beland took to the woods and ever since has been in hiding, wand- ering, night and day, in the thick underbrush and through the watery swamps until he looks almost like a haunted animal ratliéii.‘ than a human being. He has so far been able to elude his pursuers, but hope is enter- tained that he may be captured and induced to give himself up. P. A.
