MISSING LEGAL PAPER FOUND; NO “‘GASS CITY” Proposed Organization of New Village is Off.---Peace Once More at “Lake.” E. L. Warren, a prominent resi- dent of Cass Lake, who was in the city yesterday, said of the attempt being made in that village to sever Section 16 from lawful connection with the original townsite of Cass Lake: “Cass Lake will not be divided and there will be no “Cass City,” at least not adjoining Cass Lake. Things were looking rather dubious for awhile and the incorporation of a new town seemed imminent, but the finding of a record that had been mislaid in the office of the secretary of state at St. Paul nipped the plans of the seceders in the bud. “On Dec. 5, 1906, there was filed, in compliance with the state law, a plat of an addition to the village of Cass Lake. The filing was in com- pliance with an ordinance passed by the village council authorizing the addition. When the addition was authorized Heber Hartley, of Cass Lake, who owns the electric lighting and the water works plant and tke _accompanying franchises to use the streets, extended water mains and electric wiring into the new addition. “‘Some time ago an attorney, rep- resenting persons interested in in- corporating a new town, inquired if the new addition to Cass Lake had ever been recorded with the secre- tary of state. Search revealed no record. His clients at once started to incorporate the addition as a new town. Mr. Hartley was notified to take up his water main exten- sions and tear down his electric wiring poles, as he had gone out of the limits of Cass Lake into a pros- pective new town. “This was an eye-opener to Mr- Hartley. He knew the ordinance for the addition to Cass Lake had been passed. He believed it had been sent to the secretary of state, He found the date it had been sent from Cass Lake by registered mail. He went to St. Paul and in postoffice records found where the receipt for the letter had been signed ‘George Brown, for Peter E. Hanson, secretary of state.’” With this evidence, he went to the capi- tol. “Julius Schmahl,secretary of state, with this evidence, ordered his force to search the department vaults. As a result the missing document was found tucked away with affidavits of expense of poli- tical candidates. Mr. Schmahl at once gave Mr. Hartley a certified copy.” Charity Ball at Hibblng. The editor of this great family necessity has received a personal invitation to attend the second annual charity ball to be given at Hibbing on the night of Jauuary 31st, under the auspices of Hibbing Lodge, No. 1022, B. P. O. E. We know several of the antlered breathen over there, and we are certain that we would have the “time” of our lives if we went over and participapated in the“tripping of the light fantastic.” But ‘alas and alack, we didn’t get the county printing this year, and we must of necessity curtail an expensive thirst tank, or there will propably be divorce proceedings in our family. We wish we could go; but we wish the boys all kinds of a good time, with a fat exchequer at the close so that charity may do some gonod deeds .in the quiet way for which the B. P. O. E. are noted. Samaritans Install Officers. The Modern Samaritans installed officers at the regular meeting of the lodge which was held last evening, and the occasion was made a very enjoyable one. The following were installed: Beneficent Degree—Lady Good Samaritan, Mrs.Isabel Larson; Lady Vice Samaritan, Charlotte Naylor; Past Good Samaritan, Ida H. Bailev;’ High Priestess,Bertha Smith;Levite, Mrs. Mame Danaber; Chief Messen- ger, Martha Huntosh; Junior Mes- senger, Mrs. Fullerton; . Centurian, Mrs. Abercrombie; Medical Exam- iner, Dr. W. R. Morrison. Samaritan Degree—Good Samari- tan, Charles Albrant; Vice Samari- tan, Mr. Bisiar; Financial Scribe, Andy Larson; Treasurer, Erton Geil; High Priest, Mr. Stanton; Le- vite, Mr. Dicaire; Ipkeeper, A.W. Smith; Watchman, A. A. Carter. Mrs. Purdy of Duluth, state presi- dent of the Samaritans, was present at the meeting and acted as in- stalling officer. She addressed the lodge and paid a high compliment to the officers and members of the lodge, commenting especially on the very efficient manner in which the lodge has been conducted - during the past year. Worries of the Postmaster. The duties of the average post- master are far from being easily per- formed, as has beeu illustrated time and again at the Bemidji postoffice lately. One of the vexatious matters which makes old age come on apace is the manner in which many letters are addressed, the writers of which evi- dently believe the postmaster is gifted with second sight. This morning Postmaster Carson received a letter, in which the writer requested his mail as follows: “Sand ma dom later and mail to Blackdack. Care Pat Sullivaen, kamp 3.” There is no signature whatever to the letter, and Mr. Carson is wondering just whose mail is wanted at Blackduck. A few days ago an envelope was received in the office addressed as follows: ‘ “To the Prosketurny of Beltrami co., Minn. Don’t know the name city;” which, being translated, means that the writer was endeavoring to address the county attorney of Bel- trami county. Firemen’s Annual Masquerade. The members of the Bemidji fire department will give .their annual masquerade ball at the city opera house, on the night of February 21st. The date heretofore has ‘always been on February 22nd (Washington’s birthday) but the date i, fixed one day earlier this year because of the fact the 22nd of February falls on Saturday night, and those present at the dance would probably desire to dance after midnight, thereby “fracturing” the Sabbath. A committee of the fire laddies met Sunday and appointed the follow- ing committees to have charge of the dance: Floor Committee—R. Russel, A. Gould, C. S. Dailey, A. Doran. Arrangements—George Fleming, J. J. Doran, M. Downs, M." F. Cun- ningham, E. H. Cornwall, H. Doran, Bart Stafford. Special Committee—Gary Bren- nan, John Cline. Injuring Boat Houses. A term in the county jail, or a good sound beating is in‘store for some reckless individuals, if they do not desist in their reckless van- dalsim at the boat houses along the shore of Lake Bemidji. Of late, the Pioneer has been the recipient of several complaints from owners of boat houses to the effec that the houses had been entered by unknown parties and the interiors almost wrecked, the boats put out of commission, and general lawless acts committed. Owners of boat houses are tiring of these escapades, and the police have been requested to arrest any- one found prowling about the houses. Should the owners catch the parties who are committing these acts there is liable to be candidates for the hospital. o New M. & I. Switching Crew. _ The business in the local yards of the M. & I. railway has increased to such an extent, of late, that it has been necessary to put on a day switching crew. George Ewards is foreman of the crew; McPherson and Roy are switchmen; J. J. Mec- Laughlin is the engineer and Frank Beaumont is fireman. Walter Gracie will now be in charge of the night switch crew, and. Robert Pop- penberg will handle the throttle on the locomotive. His Query. ‘Wilfred was taken to the lake, which ‘was entirely frozen over, and the smooth ice glittered In the sunlight. It was the first time the little fellow. had seen this body of water covered with |. Ice, and, after viewing It for a few minutes, he turned to his mother and asked innocently: E “Say, mamma, who put the 1id on .| route here by steamer and train, had the lake?’—Circle. < | 1. W. Speelman in St. Joe. ~ The editor of the Pioneer received a postal card last evening from J. W. Speelman, who recently left his home at Buena Vista (yclept the *Top of the World”) for Missouri, where he and his good wife will spend the balance of the winter. The postal isa souvenir of St. Joseph, being a picture of the house in which Jesse James was killed on April 3rd, 1882. IRRATIONAL AS A BOY Former Teacher of Harry Thaw Tells of His Queer Doings. COMPLAINED TO HIS MOTHER Letter Written by Parent More Than Twenty-five Years Ago Expressed the Fear That Her Boy’s Mind Was Unbalanced. New York, Jan. 17.—More evidence as to slleged irrational condition on the part of the defendant was offered at the trial of Harry K. Thaw, the most impressive witness being Abra- ham R. Beck, an uncle of former As- sistant Attorney General James M. Beck. The elder Mr. Beck taught a select schoal of fifteen boys in Penn- sylvania in 1881 and 1882 and young Thaw was one of his pupils. Mr. Beck described Thaw as a boy of un- governable temper. He produced a letter from Mrs. William Thaw, the mother, who said in it that she feared that Harry’s mind was unbalanced. He was so different from her other four children. One of Mr. Thaw’s eccentricities, which, it is said, soon will be testified to, was the sending of eighty-four pounds of beef to Evelyn Nesbit one morning whgn she was ill. The attor- neys have the receipts for the meat. Raymond A. Brown, a music pub- lisher and eyewitness of the killing of Stanford White, testified to Thaw’s irrational appearance on the roof gar- den. Prown said he knew Thaw per- sonally and spoke to him during an fntermission in the performance, but could not get a coherent reply. “Did you ever try to get a coherent reply from any other man twenty ‘minutes betore he took the life of a fellow human being?” asked District Attorney Jerome. “No,” replied the witness. Abraham R. Beck of Lancaster county, Pa., uncle of former Assist- ant Attorney General James M. Beck, was called as the next witness. He said that Harry, Thaw was one of fif- teen boys in his school in 1881 and 3882. - The memory of the boy had always lved with him, said the wit- ness. “The boy was excessively nervous,” said Mr. Beck, “and was very unsocial, sullen and abstracted. His eyes were most striking. One of the principal things I remembered about young Thaw were the spasmodic and startling outbursts of animal like howls. These howls would stop as suddenly as the turning off of a foun- tain.” Letter From Thaw's Mother. Mr. Beck identified a letter he had recelved from Mrs. William Thaw, the mother of Harry, about the boy’s conduct at school, and it was read to the jury. The letter was dated Oct. 25, 1881, and was in reply to a com- munication from Mr. Beck complain- ing of Harry’s conduct. The letter speaks of the distress the communica- tion caused the parent and the mother expresses a horrible feeling of dread that Harry’s mind is unbalanced, as his actions are similar to that of an uncle who became weak minded. Mr. Beck said he -had had many years of experience in teaching and training boys, but Thaw’s conduct was different from any he had ever known. “l couldn’t help but think him irra- tional,” declared the witness. Mr. Beck is now seventy-nine years of age. His testimony was impressive and District Attorney Jerome asked but one or two questions on cross- examination. Annie Baggan, a sister of Chris- topher Baggan and housekeeper at the Whist club, told of several instances of what she termed irrational conduct on the part of Thaw. The next witness was Benjamin Bonan, former stage doorkeeper at the Madifon Square theater, where Evelyn Nesbit, on Christmas eve, 1003, was appearing in “A Girl From Dixfe.”} Bonan testified that after Thaw. had called at the theater and taken the girl away Stanford White arrived. When he found that Miss Nesbit had gone away the witness sald White displayed a pistol and vowed he would kill “that Pittsburger” before morning. Bonan said he com- municated the threat to Thaw. Mr. Littleton announced that some of his most important witnesses, en failed-to arrive and asked for an ad- Journment until morning, when Mrs. Mrs. William Thaw is expected to take the stand. The motion for ad- journment was granted. % BOYERTOWN BURIES ITS DEAD Victims of Theater Disaster Now Number 172. Boyertown, Pa., Jan. 17.—This little borough, which lost one-fifteenth of its population in the opera house horror, has turned to the task of bury- Ing its dead. Because of the condi- tion of most of the bodies the borough authorities have asked the bereaved ‘relatives {o bury the dead within three days. 2 Mrs. James Fryer, who was injured by leaping from the burning building, is dead, making the total number of known dead 172. Killed in Duel With Detective. Chicago, Jan. 17.—In a pistol duel Willlam Fenkerhauser was killed by Detective Michael Kern. Fenker- hauser was attempting to rob two HAOUSE DEBATE 'CONTINUES Bill to Codify Penal Laws Under Con- sideration. ‘Washington, Jan. 17.—At the outset of the debate in the house of repre- sentatives on the bill to codify and revize the' penal laws Mr. Hardwick of Georgla offered a substitute for the Willlams amendment regarding pay- ments to any person for his endorse- ment or assistance in securing ap- pointments to public office. The sub- atitute, while differing in phraseology with the Willlams amendment, ar- rives at the same end, except that it disqualifies from any office of trust or profit under the government all per- 3ons receiving such pay. Mr. Hard- wick said that for five years efforts had been made to enact such legisla- tion and that a few years ago a tre- mendous scandal had occurred in his own district in Georgia in connection with some postofice appointments. He challenged any one to oppose his substitute on its merits. The challenge was at once accepted by Mr. Gardner (Mass.), who main- tained that any one who came to ‘Whashington with his expenses paid to interest himself in behalf of some ap- vointment would violate the law. He said he was tired of humbug legisla- tion and inquired: “Do you think we can square ourselves with our con- stituents by legislation like that; by pretending to virtue when there is not a man within the sound of my voice that can not evade these stat- utes if he has a mind to? You may be able,” he added, “to catch unfor- tunate members of the house or a member of the senate some time who has not covered his tracks properly.” Both the Williams and the Hard- ‘wick amendments were voted down. DEMANDS LONGER SESSIONS -Member of House Declares Nothing Is Being Done. ‘Washington, Jan. 17.—A resolution reading in part as follows was offered in the house by Mr. Edwards of Geor- gla: “Whereas, People and business in- stitutions of all kinds are suffering from the panic that is upon us and the whole country is demanding that something be done for relief, and, “Whereas, The house of representa- tives has now been in session for over thirty days and has accomplished ab- solutely nothing along these lines, but instead is killing time upon matters that are not nearly so vital; there- fore, be it . “Resolved, That 9 o’clock in the morning be fixed as the hour for con- vening, instead of 12 o’clock noonm, and that the hour from 1 until 2 be allowed for lunch and that the house remain in session until 6 o’clock in the afternoon, or later if necessary, in order that we may get down to work, do something for the country and adjourn before hot weather comes on.” - The resolution was referred to the committee on rules. OFFICIAL ACTION ASKED. American Meat Trust 8aid to Control London Market. London, Jan. 17.—The control that the so called American meat trust gradually has been acquiring over the London meat market was brought to the notice of the civic authorities at a meeting of the court of common council in the form of a resolution as follows: “We regret to learn that the trade of the central meat market gradually is .getting into the hands of the meat trust, to the detriment of the con- sumer, and we call upon the corpora- tion, as the market authority, to safe- guard the interests of consumers.” This resolution was referred to the finance committee for investigation and recommendation. It has been alleged for some time that the price of all beef in England was dictated by the Chicago packers, who seem to control supplies so they are enabled to dictate the daily prices and enforce compliance with their ruling. REDUCED TO FIVE PER CENT Another Drop in Bank of England Discount Rate. London, Jan. 17.—The rate of dis- count of the Bank of England has been reduced from 6 to 5 per cent. The reduction was anticipated, as the fresh gold arrivals, most of which ‘were absorbed by: the bank, and the return of cash to the country so mate- rially strengthened the reserves in the metal in spite of the considerable amount taken by South America that there was no excuse for a further pro- longation of the higher rate, which so discommoded trade for some months: Even had the bank desired to retain a higher rate it is doubtful if it could be made effective, as the supply of money in Lombard street was so abundant as to be almost for the moment in excess of the requirements. Prices Will Be Maintained. NeWw York, Jan. 17.—There is to be no reduction in the price of diamonds, according to an announcement made by one of the big diamond importing houses. It is stated that all importers have received word from the diamond syndicate in London, which controls 95 per cent of the diamond output of the world, that the policy of maintain- ing prices will be strictly adhered to in spite of the great falling’ off in sales within the past few months. Rumor Advances Prices. New York, Jan. 17.—A report that Daniel Sully has embarked on a cam- paign to move up cotton prices had a strong effect on the markat and local quotations advanced $2.50 a bale. As It Looked to Him. One of the ladies In fancy dress.was, though fair emough, a trifle fat, and we will not say that she did not look well out of the thirties. And there spake to her a reporter: “May I ask what character you rep- resent?” “Helen of Troy,” ‘she answered. “What did you think it was?” “Well,” he murmured, ungallantly enough, as weights and measures con- fused his brain and he gazed ¢n her men when he was seen by the police- ~w=an and the shooting follewed. ample proportions, “I thought you might be Helen of Avoirdupois!” SOME ARE EXCEPTED Court Decides Harriman Must Answer Certain Questions. BUYING ILLINOIS CENTRAL Head of Pacific Roads Ordered to Give the Information Desired by the Interstate Commierce Commission Concerning That Famous Deal. New York, Jan. 17.—E. H. Harri- man was directed, in a decision given by Judge Hough in the United States cireuit court, to answer all questions propounded to him by the interstate commerce commission except those relating to the purchase of Unipn Pa- cific and Southern Pacific railroad stock in connection with the dividend of August, 1996, Judge Hongh also directed Otto H. Kuhn of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to answer all questions asked him by the inter- state commerce commission. The questions to which Mr. Harri- man objected related to the purchase of the 8tock of other railroads in the interest of the Union Pacific and to the Union Pacific dividend. In regard to the $28,000,000 of Illinois Central, purchased at $175 a share, the ques- tions which Mr. Harriman declined to answer are as follows: ‘Were the 90,000 shares sold by yourself, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Still- man pooled? ‘Was it acquired for the purpose of selling it to the Union Pacific? ‘Was the stock purchased by you at a much lower price than $175 with the intention of turning it ver to the Union Pacific? Did you have any interest in the 305,000 shares sold at the time by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to the Union Pa- cific? ‘Was the 105,000 shares acquired by the same pool for the purpose of selling them to the Union Pacific? The questions which Mr. Kuhn re- fused to answer had to do with the connection of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. with the purchase of stock in the Chicago and Alton and the Illinois Central and what proportion of the stocks so pur- chased was held for the directors of the Union Pacific. NOT DEFINITELY AMENDED Aldrich Financial Bill Continues Un- der Consideration. Washington, Jan. 17.—The senate commitice on finance further consid- ered the Aldrich bill. Various amend- ments were offered and discussed. It is understood that no section of the bill has as yet been definitely amend- ed. The clause relating to the filing of railway bonds as security for addi- tional currency is receiving consider- able attention, but it is thought by several members of the committee that it will eventually be left intact on the ground that there will not be sufficient available securities for emergency needs if railroad bonds are not included. The Democrats of the committee, as a rule, seem to be largely in accord with most of Serator Aldrich’s ideas and the amendments they will en- deavor to have adopted will be gen- erally of a minor nature. Senator Hansbrough has expressed his- intention ‘of changing his central bank bill in a few particulars and offering it in the senate as a substi- tute for the Aldrich bill when that measure is considered. SOLDIERS WRECK RESORT Wreak Vengeance for Death of Their Comrade. Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 17.—A~mob of thirty soldiers from Fort Leaven- worth, enraged by their suspicion con- cerning the death of a comrade, whose bhody was found in a burning building in the Tenderloin Saturday morning, and by assaults on other of their com- rades, raided “the Gem,” a resort here, driving out the inmates and demolish- ing the building. The occupants of the house escaped uninjured. None of the soldiers is known to the police and no arrests have been made. Four Bank Officials Arrested. Durango, Colo., Jan. 17.—Charged with having received deposits after they knew that the Colorado State bank was insolvent four of the offi- cers and directors were arrested in at- tachment suits brought against tMem by John English. Those arrested are D. N. Freeman, W. C. Chapman, Frank Eldredge and Evan Hampton. They ‘were released on bonds. Physictan Under Arrest. Des Moines, Jan. 17.—Dr. H. P.| Dahl, a prominent physician of Mason Cily, has been arrested on an indict- ment charging manslaughter. The death of Mrs. Dora Bowen, following an operation which Dahl is alleged to have perforimed, is made the basis for the indictment. Mrs. Bowen was a prominent musician. Both stcod high in social circles. Killed by Street Car. Minneapolis, Jan. 17.—Albert Glas- Ing, aged thirty-five, a driver for the Mineral Springs Water company, was almost instantly killed by being struck by a Bryn Mawr street car. The car struck his wagon as he was crossing the tracks and Glasing was thrown in front of the car and was struck by the fender.

Chicago, Jan. 17.—Two men were tilled, one policeman was wounded and several workingmen were injured n a pitched battle between three po- licemen and thirty Hungarian railroad laborers at Gary, Ind. Guns and revolvers were fired. and knives thrown, but, though they were outnumbered -ten to one, the_police- men made seven arrests and stood their ground until reinforcements ar- rived, when thirteen more men were captured. Several escaped through the sand dunes. - 'dhe fight occurred at the camp of the Hungarians, one mile west of Gary, and the battle was of several hours’ duration. The Hungarians had been working on the tracks of the South Bend rail- road. Several of their number de- stroyed the tent of a negro laborer and when the latter sought redress at the camp he was fired upon. A rail- road watchman who sought to aid the negro also was compelled to flee. Warrants then were sworn out and the policemen went to the scene. A shot greeted their demand for sur- render and the battle followed. WHILE CRAZED BY DRINK Chicago Labor Leader Kills One of His Best Friends. Chicago, Jan. 17.—Henry Rittman, thirty years old, a former official in the Chicago Federation of Labor, shot and killed Otto Schultz, thirty-four years old, a fellow craftsman and one of his best friends, while the latter ‘was playing cards in the headquarters of the Painters and Decorators’ union. Rittman, mumbling incoherently to himself and staggering from the ef- fects of drink, entered the rooms, leaving the door open. Schultz, who sat at a table only a short distance away, politely requested that Rittman close the door. This simple request so angered Rittman that, without warning, he drew a revolver and be- fore those in the room realized his purpose placed the muzzle close to Schultz’ head and pulled the trigger. COAST TOWN OCCUPIED. Revolutionary Movement Against the Haytian Government. Port au Prince, Hayti, Jan. 17.— The first actual operation of a revo- lutionary movement against the pres- ent government of Hayti took place ‘Wednesday and has, so far, been suc- cessful. An expedition composed of Haytians who have been in exile, un- der the command of Jean Juneau, ef- fected a landing not far from Gorai- ves, twenty-five miles northwest of here, and occupied that town. The government is taking measures to resist the movement. Port au Prince is calm. Jean Juneau commanded a detach- ment of revolutionary troops during the movement of 1902 under the direc- tion of Antenor Firmin. SAVE THREATENED VILLAGE Inhabitants Throw Thousands of Snowballs on Fire. Johnstown, Pa., Jan. 17.—Probably the most remarkable manner of ex- tinguishing fire occurred at Boswell; a mining town n2ar here, when hun- dreds of men, women, boys and girls saved the town from destruction by throwing snowballs. The town has no fire department and water is scarce. The flames had gained much headway and a building in which was stored sufficient powder to blow up the vil- lage was threatened. As a last re- source praetically the entire popula- tion began throwing thousands of snowballs made from soft, wet snow and, after a time, prevented the ex- plosion and confined the flames to a half dozen buildings. DIES A MERE CLERK. Former St. Louis Millionaire Expires Suddenly. 8t. Louis, Jan. 17.—John H. Clem- ents, aged sixty-four years, who fif- teen years ago was a local millionaire but who for the past year had been marriage license clerk of St. Louis at $100 a month, was found dead in bed. He had been in ill health for several months. Clements came of a wealthy Vir ginia family. . Thirty years ago he founded a department store here that made him one of the wealthiest citi- zens when he retired. He lost his fortune later, but never was known to complain and to the end he was as cheerful -working as a clerk as he was during the days of his prosperity. Kill Their Brother's Slayer. Lawton, Okla., Jan. 17.—Dr. F. D. Beauchamp, who killed Charles Thomas of Chico, Tex., on a train at Hobart a year ago, was shot and killed here by two brothers of his vietim, John Thomas of Lawton and William Thomas of Chico, Tex., as he was boarding a train.
