THE 0DD FELLOW LODGE HELD A FINE MEETING Ten Candidates Initiated Last Night.— Grand Master Will Be Here Next Friday. ‘The meeting of the local Odd Fel- lows lodge which was held last even- ing was of more than ordinary inter- est to many members of the lodge. A cl of ten candidates were given the initiatory degree, and the beautiful ceremony of the order is said to have been performed in more than an ordinary manner, and was e. very impre: At the conclusion of the regular | session of the lodge, those present were surprised by the members of the Rebekah lodge, who had quietly gained admission to the kitchen of the lodge room and prepared "a fine supper, which the “‘old boys” were invited to partake of to the fullest extent. The supper proved to be a most welcome and wholesome affair, and was thoroughly enjoyed, after which some time was spent in social inter- course. On next Friday evening the grand master of the state grand lodge of Odd Fellows, Mr. Shearer of Man- kato, will make an official visit to the Bemidji lodge, and the officers request that every member of the lodge be present at that meeting. Court at Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids, Dec. 14.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The time of district court Thursday and Friday was largely taken up in the disposition of criminal cases. The case of the State vs. Victor Johnson, charged with assault in the second degree, for shooting one Oscar Johnson in the arm witha|" revolver, was called Thursday morn- ing and the case was concluded yes- terday afternoon. The jury returned a verdict of guilty and recommended the mercy of the court. Arckie Hallock, charged with petit larceny, was yesterday sen- tenced to serve a term of ninety days in the county jail. Mary A. Rozen, indicted for per- jury, was arraigned yesterday and given until today to plead. In the matter of State Ditch No. 6, Koochiching county, and State Ditch No. 57, Itasca county, it was discovered that upon the call of the matters for hearing that insufficient notice had been given in each in- stance, and the proceedings were adjourned for hearing at Bemidji on January 29, 1908, in order to enable the clerks of court the respective counties to give additional notice. Itis now thought that the civil calender will be disposed of probably by the middle of next week and that court will then adjourn over the holidays. Turtle River Man’s Pension Raised.

BEMIDJI, MINN. MISS BRIGHT'S FUNERAL WAS LARGELY ATTENDED Obsequies Held at Walker Appropriate -Mark of Respect to Popular Young Woman, Walker, Dec. 14.—(Special to Pioneer.)—All that was mortal of Miss Lola Bright was laid to rest in the cemetery here yesterday after- noon, and the funeral services at- tending the burial of the body were the saddest and most impressive ever held here. The services were held in the Methodist church at 2:30 o’clock in the afternoon, Rev. J. T. B. Smith of Akeley presiding. There was a profusion of beauti- ful flowers, which decorated the bier, and which were given by friends of the family and acquaint- ances of the deceased. The choir sang several beautiful selections, and Rodney Hodge cf Akeley sang “Face to Face” very feelingly. Rev. Smith delivered an eloquent sermon, touching feelingly on the past life of the deceased, which gave promise of a glorious womanhood, terminated by the sad accident, which cut short so useful a life. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity with thé friends of the deceased, and so impressive were -the services that there was not a dry eye in the house at the conclusion. The poignant grief of Mrs. Bright {was heartrending in the extreme. Her sobs and lamentations were audible during the entire service and it was almost impossible to calm her, - At the conclusion of the services the body was buried in the Walker cemetery. The body of Walter Johnson, who met death at the same time Miss Bright was drowned, was shipped to the home of the dead boy at Rob- binsdale, Minn. The deplorable death of Miss Bright and Walter Johnson has cast a gloom over Walker, which will not soon be dispelled. Christmas stickers, tags and cards at the Pioneer office.

THE GOVERNOR'S FRIENDS MAY DEGIDE IT FOR HIM Minneapolis Paper Says They May Bring Executive Out as a Presi- dential Candidate. Minneapolis Tribune: A meeting of men close to Gov. John A. John- son has been held to consider the advisability of the governor’s ing out” in the open as a candidate for the Democralic presidential nomination. The campaign in the interest of the governor, quietly conducted, has met with most flattering response. It is the conviction of the governor’s friends that Gov. John A. Johnson stands a good chance to secure the plum. The conservative and financial interests in the party are opposed to the nomination of W. J. Bryan and the Johnson boomers believe that this opposition has been culti- vated to a degree which place Gov. Johnson at least in second, if not in first place in the race. The question now at stake is whether it would be advisable and good national policy for the gover- nor to openly announce himself as presidential candidate. ~ The dan- ger is that in so doing an open con- flict would at once be precipitated between the many followers of William J. Bryan and those who are opposed to his nomination. As yet no decision in matter has been reached.

WORRY CAUSE OF ACT & Minneapokis Man While Insame Slays Wife and Kimself, ATTEMPTED TO KILL FAMILY Several Hours Before Enacting Double Tragedy He Had Turned on the Gas, but His Daughter Detected Him and Foiled His Purpose. Minneaypolis, Dec. 14—His mind a Wwreck because of unsuccessful invest- ments C. M. Colby, sixty-five years old, murdered his wife and then com- mitted suicide at their home here. Several hours previously he had tried to kill himself, his wife and their daughter by turning on the gas. His daughter detected this and turned the gas off. She did not go to sleep again, fearing that her father would again turn on the gas. He attacked his wife with a razor in the presence of the daughter, Mrs. Ernest Boyd, who ran out on the street for help and returned with several men only to find both her parents dead on the dining room floor, their throats cut. The insanity which resulted in the tragedy came after a day of worry | over Colby’s financial affairs. Mrs. Colby and her daughter re- moved to Minneapolis from Lake City early in August and Colby came short- ly after. They purchased a rooming house on Hennepin avenue, but the venture was a failure and in October they moved to 1206 Harmon place. A few days ago he spoke of purchas- ing a flat building, but this deal he kept to himself and did not mention the location of the building to his wife and daughter. Colby was known as a kind husband and father, but his worry made him insane. WILL TEST SUNDAY LAW. Vaudeville Theaters in New York City Pronose to Fight. New York, Dec, 14.—If the board of aldermen does not on Tuesday next amend the law prohibiting all kinds of Sunday amusements it is probable that other steps will be taken to gain relief for the amusement owners. The recent decision of Justice O’Gorman, which was responsible for the closing of all places of amusement on Sun- day, was made in a civil case and is not appealable. It is possible now that a test case will be made by open- ing one vaudeville theater and allow- ing the manager to be arrested. In such a case the question could be car- ried to the court of appeals and the law finally passed upon. The keepers of penny arcades have formed an as- sociation. Efforts will be made to prevent the police from closing their places of business by means of in- junctions. Nine of these places have already obtained injunctions against the police. ONLY ONE MINE RESUMES Few Men Appear for Work at Gold- field, Nev.

New York, Dec. 14—Urban Mac- Donald, while sprinting to gain an ! extra lap at the six-day bicycle races at Madison Square Garden, was so severely injured that he and his team mate, Lawson, were forced to retire from the contest.

He was picked up unconscious, bleedling from a deep gash in the head, | and taken to a hospital, where his condition is reported as serious. e 7 TWO0 BROTHERS DROWNED While Skating Mlnnesota Boys Go Through the Ice. Buffalo, Minn., Dec. 1 .—Edwin and Clarence Groden, fiffeen and twelve vears of age, respectively, were drowned in Buffalo lake. The two boys left home to go skat- ing. They failed to return home and a searching party was sent out. The body of one was discovered in about thirty feet of water and an hour later the other body was found about fif- teen feet from that of the first. From the positions of the bodies and the fact that the mitten of the younger was found on the ice it is thought the older plunged into the icy waters through an airhole and that in endeavoring to help his brother the younger was himself dragged to his de: MARKET QUOTATIONS, Minneapolis Wheat.
