THE BEMIDJ1I DAILY PIONEE Ristotical Society, VOLUME 5. NUMBER 309. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1908. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY, FORTY CENTS PER MONTH BODY OF HENRY UNKEY HAS BEEN FOUND AT BAUDETTE Unkey Disappeared a Year Ago, «nd Much Mystery Was Occasioned Thereby---Body Found in Woods.--- Deputy Coroner Lahr Left for Baudette. The Duluth News Tribune of yesterday contained the following special telegram from Baudette re- garding the finding of the body of a dead man near that place: Baudette, Minn., April 17.— The mystery surrounding the fate of Henry Unkey, who strangely disappeared more than a year ago from this place, was cleared up yesterday, when his remains were found in the woods by Arthur Skipley, a homesteader living near Silver Creek, six miles east of here. Mr. Skipley at once notified his nearest neighbors and the coroner was summoned from Bemidji. The body of the unfortunate man was discovered about half a mile from his father's home. Wild animals had eaten the head and hands. A brother of the deceased, W. H. Unkey of Milwaukee, was sum- moned. At the time of his disappearance last spring it was conjectured that he had wandered away in the woods and was lost. A searching party hunted for him a couple weeks. The victim was not strong and not long before his disappearance was thought to be unbalanced mentally. Deputy Coroner Lahr left for Baudette last night to 1nvestigate the circumstance surrounding the ! disapperance of Henry Unkey. Fine Show at Brinkman. Visitors at the Brinkman Family Theatre this week have been given a treat in the amusement line, the per- formance given making that place more popular than ever. The headliner at the theatre are the Batchlor Sisters, who are billed as singing and dancing soubrettes. These ladies do a novel turn, both playing very artistically on violins while singing and dancing. They have good voices, play well, and are very clever on on their feet. George Baker does a clever black- face turn. He is a woodenshoe dancer, and his many intricate steps are executed with ease and. graceful- ness. He is very good. The film service is the best ever shown at the theatre. One film, especially, is very interesting, show- ing how the firemen in the large cities do their work. The other films are novel and interesting, and the illustrated song given by Miss Sorenson is very well received. A capacity house will undoubtedly greet the performers this evening. Purchased Abstract Business. C. O. Huffman and J. O. Harris have purchashed the interests of the Beltrami County Abstract company. The deal was completed last Wednes- day and the new company will be known as Huffman & Harris, the business being continued as before. Mr. Harris will continue in lhis office of Register of Deeds, and will be a candidate for re-election next fall, Waterworks Shut Off Monday.

Mrs. Mary A. Abbott of Minneapolis says of it: “I have used Parisian Secret Toilet Cream for chapped hands, face and rough skin. I find that it does all that is claimed for it. I like it best of any of the creams I have used and they are many.” A little over two years ago, we began the manufacture of Parisian Secret, solely to have to offer to some of our most skeptical customers a Toilet Cream of exceptional quality and elegance. And today the demand for our preparation is widespread, not only is the demand in our own lerritory but we have customers for Parisian Secret in towns and cities far removed from us. These con- vincing facts are recommendations of the permanent value of this article. eagily obtained. Price 25¢ a bottle. “A friend Barker’s Drug Store The Store of Quality.

County Attorney Henry Funkley filed the necessary information in the matter, and the case was con- At 4:20 this afternoon Judge Stanton sentenced Kisser to serve three years at hard labor in the state penitentiary at Stillwater, accompanying the sentence with some unminced remarks as to the boldness of Kisser’s attempt to blackmail an old man out of his money. e —————————————————————————————————————————— Board Adjourned Yesterday.

Application was made by the citi- zens of Township 162, Range 34, that said township be organized, to be known as the town of Chilgren; also for the organization of Town 143, Range 30, same to be known as the town of Egland. Both the newly- organized towns are in the extreme northern part of the county. J. M. Phillippi, superintendent of the .poor farm, was authorized to have some of the lands of the poor farm cleared at a price not to exceed ten dollars per acre. One hundred dollars was set aside from the road and bridge fund to be used for road work in the town of Northern, along the lake shore north of the Mayo farm. Two hundred dollars was set aside for road work in the town of Bemidji, Section 32, and to be under the supervision of A. B. Hazen. Three hundred dollars was set aside for road work in the Town of Blackduck, north from the village of Blackduck; and $200 to the Town of Eckles.

ATTENTION, BALL PLAYERS, All ball players in the city are requested to be at the new ball bark Sunday foremoon at 10 o’clock for practice. As a new team will be or- ganized from the best local talent, with some outside as- sistance, the co-operation of all local players is desired. John Washburn, Manager. Rounding up Bad Characters. The police have been gathering in several ‘“undesirable citizens” who have been making a temporary residence in the city. The gentle: men were ordered to leave, but failing to decamp, were arrested and brought to the bar of municipal justice. They will probably leave or be given jail sentences, at hard labor. The labor is very desirable, as road work is very much desired. Mrs. Brown, who lives in Nymore, and two girl companions were taken into custody yesterday and given a hearing. Mrs. Brown was charged with loitering about the rear of the saloons and becoming intoxicated. She was given a sentence of $25 fine or thirty days in jail, taking the jail sentence.

Mr. Winton expresses himself as being very well pleased with the manner in which the new mill of the company is being oper- ated at this place, and states that |he is well pleased with Bemidji. “You have the best little city in the, state,” says Mr. Winton, *“You should advertise your summer at- tractions more extensively. The results would be ofgreat benefit to Bemidji.” DROWNS IN TREACHEROUS WATERS OF RAINY RIVER Mr. Brack, Customs Inspector at Ranier, Falls from an Overturned Canoe While Going to Fort Francis.—His Companion Has Narrow Escape. International Falls, April 18.— (Special to Pioneer.)—While cross- ing the Rainy river in a2 canoe yes- terday, going from Ranier down to Fort Francis, Mr. Brack, custom in- spector at Ranier, was drowned, and a companion, who was from Duluth, and also in the customs service, but whose name could not be learned, had a narrow escape from perishing i the treacherous waters of the Rainy. While the two men were in mid stream, the canoe was in some man- ner capsized, precipitating the occu= pants into the water. Mr. Brack was whirled rapidly away from the canoe and sank from sight in the whirling waters of the rapids. The Duluth man grabbed the canoe and hung to the craft for twenty minutes, when he was rescued by a gang of men who were working on a bridge near where the canoe was swamped. Although every effort was made to locate the body of the dead cus- toms officer, no trace of the drowned man had been found at a late hour last night. Mr. Brack was thirty years of age, and unmarried. —_— Liquidation at the Burroughs. H. P. Burroughs may lose control of the Merchants hotel of this city. Thome & Mayer, the owners of the block, served papers yesterday on Mr. Burroughs for possession of the building alleging that Burroughs had broken the lease by failing to pay one month’s rent, amounting to $235. The case will be taken before Judge Simons Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock, and in case the decision is in favor of the plaintiffs, a new man will take charge of the hotel soon after that date. Thome & Mayer received a tele- gram from the Boutell Bros.” Furni- ture company of Minneapolis, who own part of the hotel furniture, stat- ing that their representative would be here Monday to take charge of their interests. The rumor which has been going around to the effect that the state inspector of buildings has condemned the Thome & Mayer block is false. The building is in a sound condition and is perfectly safe, according to Thome & Mayer. Lumberjack Sustains Broken Neck. Carl Kahle, who resides at Inter- national Falls, and who came down from his home this morning, states that a lumberjack, whose name could not be ascertained, fell from the top of a six-foot sidewalk, in Fort Francis yesterday and was instantly killed, the fall breaking his neck. Rumor has it that the “jack” had partaken rather too freely of that guaranteed, blown-in-the-bottle brand of red stuff that you find only ““across the line” Good Show Next Week. Manager Brinkman of the Brink- manFamily theatre is to be congratu- lated on securing Willis & Barron, the comedians, who will be here all next week. They will appear in their original, eccentric singing and up-to-date comedy sketch, ‘“The In- surance Man.” They come to the city with the very highest recom- mendations and the Brinkman Fam- ily theatre next will give its patrons the usual high-class entertainment. The Reliable Grocery Store The ordinary grocery store is often dis- appointing. Not so here: We have in stock the very best line of appetizing gro- ceries in the city. ‘We have on hand a large and choice se- lected line of fruits, vegetables, home baked goods and staple and fancy goods. Choice creamery butter and fresh eggs constantly on hand.
