The proposition to vote bonds in the sum of $35,000 for the pur- chase of a site and the erection of a school building for the use of the Independent School district of Bemidji, failed to carry by the de- sired two-thirds majority, at the election held yesterday afternoon and last evening. The total votes cast at the elec- tion numbered 731; of this numBer, 444 were in favor of the proposi- tion and 287 against, lacking just 43 favorable votes of the desired two-thirds majority. The size of the vote cast indi- cates that there was a fairly repre- sentative proposition of the voters who cast their ballots either for or against the proportion, and the result may be taken as a fair ex- pression of the residents of the dis- trict. There are several reasons why the proposition was defeated, not the least of these being the fact that the public was lead to believe that the board should, despite their state- ment to the contrary,issue the bonds which had been voted at the two previous elections, thus obligating the district in the neighborhood of $100,000.This sentiment was fostered by certain interested parties (among them being the “temporary editor” of the special edition of the Sentinel) who circulated the story with much energy. As far as the Pioneer is con- cerned, we are still of the opinion that the proposition should have carried; and it is up to those who were so instrumental in defeating it to propose a plan of relief that will meet with general approval. The condition has got to be relieved, and that immediately, if we who have children of school age are to be given what is our right, in the mat- ter of schooling. ‘We are open to suggestions in this matter, and we hope a plan will soon be formulated and carried out, so that | we may have school room for all children living in this rapidly grow- ing metropolis of northern Minne- sota.

By that time the players can get a little practice on the diamond and soon get in condi- tion. There isa meeting called for Thursday night at eight o’clock in the Press office and everyone inter- ested inbaseball should attend. A good turnout to a meeting of this kind encourages our young athletes who are willing to donate a portion of their time for the love of the national game. “Spooner, Baudette, Northome, Big Falls and Bemidji and manycther surrounding towns will have good teams and this meeting is called for purpose of determining what kind of a line-up will be necessary for us to have to win the pennant.

Taken to Asylum. P! A. Walsh, sheriff of Kooch- iching county, ‘was in the city today, having in custody Carl Anderson, a homesteader living on the . main Black river, who had been adjudged insane and committed to the asylum at Fergus Falls. It appears that Anderson lived in ‘|a sparsely populated- farming com- munity and he lately has taken to brooding and worrying with' the resul that his mind had become . de- ranged. A few days ago Anderson went to the house of a neighbor named Hammersbach, where he shot himself in the cheek with a .44-calibre revolver, inflcting . an ugly wound, and subsequently cut an artery in his left hand. Hammersbach became frightened and after summoning help took Anderson to International Falls, Andereon was given a hearing be- fore W. V. Kane, judge of probate and was adjudged insane and or- dered committed to the asylum at Fergus Fals.' ‘Mr. Walsh also brought with him from Big Falls Louis' Chancelor, who had beén sentenced to serve forty days in the county iail for drunkeness. ““On the Bridge at Midnight.” A dramatic’ company: of unusual merit will presént the noted scenic success ““On the Bridge at Mid- night.” Monday, March 30.

BEHIND BARS Charged by National Examiner With Misapplying Funds of the Institu- tion to the Amount of $1,105,000 in the Past Few Years. Pittsburg, March 28.—A third charge against Henry Rieber, paying teller, and John Young, auditor, of the Farm- ers’ Deposit National bank, was made by Bank Examiner W. L. Folds. The former employes, who are in jail, are oharged with misapplying funds of the bank amounting to $1,105,000. According to a persistent rumor in- formations against many business men in this city and other cities are to be made within & short time, Relber and Young for a number of years have had the entire control of the cash of the bank and their pecu- lations, which have been confessed to Examiner Folds, have been going on for six or seven years. Over half the money has been taken from the bank within the last eight months. The government authorities are staggered at the amount involved and it is seid in no case has so much been taken from a bank in the same man- ner. The previous amounts named in the two informations made against Rei- ber and Young were $85,000 and $300, 000. The examination and audit of #he books of the bank has been prac tically completed. Containing two counts, embezzlement and misapplica tion and false entries in the teller’s statement book, the informations charge - the . fraud extended over a period of three years prior to March 10, 1908. Funds of the banks were diverted as late as March 18 of this year. s Last summer, it is alleged, Reiber and Young became interested in local wildcat stock. This stock was in a lead mine offered for sale in this city during the early part of the summer for 20 cents a share. It soon began to stir and it was then that the bank employes became interested. They got in on the ground floor, when the stock was selling around 60. It continued to go up and they were advised to invest every penny they could get hold of in the stock. Finally the stock went to $3 a share. Suddenly the price began to fall. As- sured the decline would be temporary Young and Reiber were induced to dump more money into the venture. WILL WAS A FORGERY. Witnesses in Fight for Big Estate Ad- mit Perjury. Scranton, Pa., March 28.—Startling developments came in the Schooley- Crawford will contest when Albert W. Bahman of Swedesboro, N. J., and Charles P. Reidel of Landisville, N. J., pleaded guilty to perjury. They de- clared the Schooley will which they witnessed and by which George B. Schooley of Philadelphia sought to in- herit the $1,000,000 estate of his cousin, James L. Crawford, who was a prominent coal operator here, was a forgery.. The men came here and made a full confession to District At- torney O'Brien, who at once took them into court. They will testify against Schooley next week. Schooley was arrested some time ago charged with forging a will and his bail was surrendered after Bah- man and Reidel confessed. A detec- tive has gone to Noxen, Pa., where Schooley has been wintering, to rear- rest him! TEACHERS WIN FIGHT. 8triking Kansas S8choolma’ams Re- turn to Work. Kansas City, March 28.—School has been - resumed at the Bryant public school in Wyandotte county, west of Kansas City, Kan., where on Tuesday ‘[1ast the entire staff of women teach- ers walked out and refused to conduct their classes. The trouble grew out of -the fact that the teachers were obliged to go to the residence of the ocounty treasurer to have their pay warrants signed. The school board adjusted the . difficulties, sustaining the teachers in their position. Refuses to Discuss Matter. Liverpool, March 28.—“There is ab- solutely nothing I can say regarding my reported engagement to Miss Katherine Elkids,” said the Duke of the Abruzzi when asked for a state- ment regarding the many rumors in circulation since his departure from 'the United States.” The duke arrived here from New York on the steamer Lusitania.

VERDICT OF $35,000 UPHELD Minnesota Supreme Court Passes on Personal Injury Case. St. Paul, March 28.—The supreme eourt has affirmed a verdict for $35,000 for personal injuries given in the dis- trict court of Freeborn county at Al- bert Lea. This is the largest personal injury verdict that has ever stood the test of the supreme court. The case was that of Ida B. Clay, administratrix for Louis R. Clay, de- ceased, respondent, vs. the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad com- pany, appellant.

The supreme court says the verdict was justified by the evidence and that it was not inspired by passion or prejudice. BRYAN SURE TO BE NAMED Congressman Rainey Says Johnson's Boom Is Over. Chioago, March 28.—The boom of Governor Johnson for the Democratic nomination will not get very far from Minnesota,” said Congressman T.

Congressman Rainey has been mak- ing campaign speeches through New England and Michigan and says he found little or no interest in the talk of the Minnesota man. “Among all the Democrats I met in Michigan,” he explained, “not one in five were for Governor Johnson and down in New England I believe there were just two or three. The senti- ment is unanimous for Bryan and there s not the slightest question but what he will receive the nomination.” GIVEN $15,000 DAMAGES. Milwaukee Man Wins Case Against McClure’s Magazine.
