s HELD TO AWAIT ATION OF GRAND JURY; BONDS, $2000 Continued from First Page Members of the local police force corroborated Bryant’s state- ment in so far as it related to them, and also testified that Shea had come to them and told them | that a crazy man, clad in nothing but his underwear, had entered the down by the being awakened, had proceeded to do up the entire con- cern; that they listened to the story | told by Bryant, and believing him | to be simply h'mself, arrested Peterson and Shea. Peterson and Shea testified in their behalf, and each stated that he had nothing to do with the taking of Bryant’s money; that the first they knew that Bryant had gotten out of his room was when he came into the hotel; they asserted that Bryant had laid down by the stove, aund that, on being awakened, assaulted both of them, and that Shea went for the police to have Bryant taken care of, as he was acting as if he were crazy. hotel and, alter lying stove and defending Both own | | In making his argument, Mr.| Funkley laid particular stress on the fact that DPeterson knew that| Bryant had money, and that he| believed that neither Peterson or; Shea were “tenderfeet” in the hold- | up business; that the fact that Bry- ant found his door locked, when he went to his room subsequent to | going through the window, indi- cated the intention of the defendants | knocked through the lower sash of to divert suspicion from themselves and strengthen the claim that Bry- ant was crazy. G. M. Torrance summed up the evidence for the defendants and ridiculed the idea that Bryant, who is six feet tall, could have been a window, breaking the glassand not injuring the sash in any manner. He also alluded to the fact that no part of the money, claimed to have been lost by Bryant, had been found on either Peterson or Shea, and that the evidence did not connect them in any way with the taking of the money out of Bryauni’s room, The evidence showed, he believed, that Bryant was the aggressor in the fight and that he went into the hotel looking for trouble, Judge Slocum stated that he believed the evidence warranted holding Peterson and Shea and that he would hold them to the grand jury, fixing their bonds at $2,000 each. As the bonds could not be; furnished yesterday evening, Peter- son and Shea were committed to the county jail. Epworth League Handkerchief Bazaar. ‘The Epworth League of the M. E.

T. SYMINGTON The Physicians and Surgeons at Roch- ester Hospital Confirm Local Physicians. ‘There is no hope of the recovery of Mrs. Symington, wife of Thomas Symington, the leader of the Bemidji band, although she may linger for some little time yet. The verdict of the physicians of the Mayo hospital at Rochester is that there is no possibility of curing, either by surgery or medicine, the cancer with which she has been afflicted some time past. The above statement was con- tained in a letter received in this city this morning by Mrs. Charles Knopke, which was written by Mr. Symington from Rochester. Mrs. Symington has not been well for the past two years, and of late it has been known that she was a sufferer with cancer of a maglinant type. The physicians in this city told Mr. Symington that they could do nothing for the cure of the cancer, and in the possible hope that the Rochester physicians and surgeons could give her relief, Mr. Symington went to Rochester the first of the week. The surgeons in the hospital made a thorough examination of Mrs. Symington and stated that they could do nothing for her relief; that the cancer was what is known as the “eating” cancer and has made such inroads that it was impossible to stop its fatal course, Mrs. Symington will be taken to her old home at Pontiac, Mich,, to spend her remaining days. The news that there is no hope for Mrs. Symington has caused pro found sorrow here, as she was a lady of exceptional virtues and had mude' many friends in this city the two years they had lived here.
