FORTY CENTS PER MONTH WORRIED OVER BUSINESS AND COMMITTED SUICIDE Louis Grogwig, an Akeley Business Man, Hanged Himself With a Rope, Yesterday Afternoon.---Temporary Insanity Cause of Rash Act. \keley. Nov. 2.—(Special to Pio- neer.)—Despondent and temporarily insane, brought about by worrying over business reverses, Louis Grog- wig, proprietor of the Akeley Gro- cery committed by hanging himself with a rope sus- pended from the ceiling of the ware- house at his place of business. Growig's credit had been attacked ite and several wholesale houses were pushing him to the wall for owed. A few days ago L. E. Hunter of this village was placed in charge of the Akeley company, suicide of amounts which he Grocery company’s business in order to protect the interests of twin city wholesale concern. This action on part of greatly the depressed Growig, and he was visibly worried over the probable | outcome of his business affairs. He was restless and gave evidence of being somewhat mentally deranged. Yesterday at about 2:50, John Zimmerman, meat cutter in the Minkle meat market, had ccassion to go into the warehouse to get some meat. When he entered the building he was horrified to find the body of Grogwig suspended afternoon, the twin city people| (and three children, all of whom re- in mid-air at the end of a rope tied to a rafter in the ceiling. Zimmer- man notified several people who were near the warehouse and the body was cut down and examined. Life was extinct and Grogwig, evi- dently finding his troubles more than he could bear, had taken his own life and ended it all. That Grogwig was very deter- mined in his intention to end his earthly career was shown by the manner in which he met his death. The rope by which he was hang{ingI was not over four feet in. length | and Grogwig had evidently just dropped to his knees and allowed himself to be slowly strangled to death. The body was taken to the rooms of the local undertaker and it has not yet been decided fully when the funeral will be held. Grogyvig is survived by 4 wite side in Akeley. He came here with his family three years ago and had but recently bought the business of the Akeley Grocery company. He was a member of the Brandon, Minnesota, lodge of Odd Fellows. The family of the dead man is left in fairly comfortable circum- stances.

NO CHAMPIONSHIP GAME OF FOOTBALL ON TODAY East Grand Forks High School Failed to Accept the Challenge of Bemidji. There was no football game today, between Bemidji high school foot- ball team and the East Grand Forks high school football eleven. The challenge sent out by the local highs was not accepted by the western team, the manager of which made such conditions that it was impossi- ble for a game. After waiting almost a whole week, the ‘“‘Forks” manager was telephoned relative to the game, and gave as an answer that the boys over on the Red river would play here if all their expenses were guaranteed, and they would not agree to a return game next year. It was too late, to accept the propo- sition, and no game resulted. The Crookston Times says of the attitude of the “Forks” crowd: “Has the East Grand Forks high school team developed a sudden case of fright and are they endeavor- ing to get out of playing with Be- midji? Instead of taking up the challenge of thatteam as.it appeared in Grand Forks - and Crookston papers yesterday, the manager comes out with an ‘interview’ which appeared this morning in the Grand Forks Herald. It is said, on good authority, that Bemidji has secured Cutting, last year’s star on the! Minnesota team, as a coach at a salary of fifty dollars per week, and | that he has transformed the team in-| to a perfect scoring machine. He has had them in charge since the| Crookston game, and East Grand Forks would probably stand a small show against them. While some of | things which the manager says in his interview are resonable, the fact that they have not accepted the challenge would seem to prove that they fear defeat.” Recaptured a Jail Breaker. Robert DeLury, of Walker, sheriff of Cass county, spent last night in the city and left this morning for his home at Walker. Mr. DeLury had in custody “Bob” Thomas, who broke jail at Walker last August. Thomas has eluded capture since his escape, but happened into Black- duck a few daysago, and the alert sheriff of Cass county got him before he made his “get away.” And, by the way, “Bob” DeLury is making fine baliff for the Cass county people. FARMERS’ INSTITUTES WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL Meetings Held at Blackduck and Nerth. ome Were Well Attended.---" Much Interest Shown. Bad roads, made worse with rain, kept many farmers from attending the institute meeting held in Black- duck Thursday and in Northome Friday. Inboth towns there was a good meeing, fifty farmers being in attendance at Blackduck and fifteen at Northome. F. B. McLeran of Wrenshall, Minn., dairyman who handles the subjects of “Clearing land” and “Good Roads” for the institute in this section of the state, found an interesting audience in both towns. His method of getting out stumps by the use of dynamite alone, dis- pemses with the expenses of ‘a stump fi s puller, and to a great extent that of hired labor. At Northome his talk on good roads resulted in the farmers getting together at the close of the meeting and organizing for a good-road movement. An effort will be made by the farmers there to get state assistance in building a wagon road between Bemidji, Blackduck, North- omg and International Falls. Markham Sunday Dinner.

The work on the new Barker block is progressing very nicely, under the supervision of G. E. Kreatz. This building will be one of the finest-appearing blocks in the city, and being located in the business center, will add to the solid appear- ance of the main street. The new block will be finished in white. The bricks] being used are called sand lime, and they will be faced with white stone. The front will:also contain very heavy plate glass, and there will be two of the finest show windows to be found in the northwést. Contractor Kreatz expects to have the: block ready for eccupancy in time for Mr. Barker to make an elegant display of holiday goods in the spacious windows of his new location. What You ‘Ludin’ At, Colonel. The last issue of the Bemidji Sen- tinel contains the following: “An action for damage was com- menced this week by - Omer Bailey, against Chief of ' Police Knox for definition of character. . The bal- ance of them paid their fine.” Just what portion of the “statutes in such case made and provided” is violated by ‘‘definition” of char- acter is not just plain to us. How- ever, we believe that Omer is justi- fied in “going after” anyone who might attempt to “‘define” his char- acter, whatever that may mean. Dr. Ward Returns. Dr. Ward returned last evening from Eau Clalre, Wis., where he had been called by the serious illness of his mother, Mrs. L. M. Ward,. who suffered a stroke of paralysis. The dottor was ‘accompanied by his sister, Mrs. A. E. Henderson, and his brother,/ Dr. C. R, Ward, of Northome. It is expected that Mrs, Ward, will recover to such an extent that she will move to Bemidji within the next three weeks to make her home. - o The Next Meeting of the at Park Cass Lake, Nov. 2.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The second day of the North Central Minnesota Teacher’s association closed l»st evening and was marked by a serious of most interesting and educational doings. At 8:30 yesterday morning the teachers assembled in the spacious high school room, where for several hours they listened to, and took part in, the discussions on different subjects, principally among which was “The Efficiency of Our Public Schools.” Industrial, physical and character training were discussed by some of the most prominent educators in the state.” Each speaker explained, in a clear and fervent manner, why such trainings were so essential in the developments of the pupils. At 1:30 the instructors again assembled. The first matter of busi- ness was the appointing of commit- tees, after which President Ritchie of Bemidji delivered an address which was listened to with great interest. State Librarian J. E. King read a very interesting paper on “The School Library.” After this reading the teachers MEETING OF TEACHERS AT CASS LAKE WAS GOOD ONE Beltrami County Sent the Largest h!umber of Teachers.--- Association Will Be Held Rapids. were divided into sections, known as the high school, the rural school and the graded school sections, respec- Itively. Meztings of the different sections were held, at which were discussed subjects greatly interest- ing to them. In the evening, President Weld of the Moorhead Normal delivered a lecture on “The Making of Litera- ture.” The president handled his subject in a most creditable manner and throughout kept the earnest attention of his listners. There were over 175 instructors in attendance at the convention,and the interest manifested by each was uwo small degree. The program yesterday seemed to have met with universal approval and it seemed to have been especially interesting to the convention to have heard and taken part in the différent discus. sions. Today’s convention took up round tables and more discussions, and the election of officers was also held. Last evening, Park Rapids was selected as the place for holding next year’s meeting of the associa- tion. We carry a full line of fresh kind, Peor groceries Our store is clean.
