THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF BEMIDJI Surplus $6,000.00 The Largest and Strongest Bank in North Central Minnesota *Twas “‘Bill” Squier. The Pioneer office was somewhat | excited for a half hour this morning, when the subjoined letter was re- ceived from Blackduck. However, a careful perusal of the epistle leads the editor to believe that one William H. Squier is the author of the letter, and we shall settle with him when we again cross his path: “Blackduck, May 7. “Dear Doc:—TIt is now two o’clock and the time has come when I must ask you a question the contempla- tion which has caused me sleepless nights, and many bitter tears of | anguish, and made days of anxiety. “There is a subject of which I hesitate to speak to anyone about, as I know the whole community is upset at the present time, by the same question that agitates me. “Perhaps you have heard some- thing about it, but please don’t men- tion it to anyone. “Many happy homes have been broken up by the same cause, and I to must share the burden of this wicked world. I am afraid to tell anyone about it, but I will trust you, and I hope you will give some good advice and stand by me. “So in my distress, I must turn to you for sympathy. It may sur- prise you to know that I would consult you upon such an important question, which only my own heart should know, that like the morning dawn, the whole affair must come to light of the whole world. I askthat it does not. So I ask your friendly advice as I know you will understand better than I can explain. “I am asking you a great favor, and while you are considering this, I wish you to put aside all cares and sacred joys, and turn promptly to the subject I hate to ask, but alas, I must come to the point and tell you: “Do you thinkit is time to change my winter underwear? Anxiously awaiting your advice, I am, “Yours sincerely, *—Maud.” Merchants Holel opened. The merchants hotel, on the cor- ner of Second street and Minnesota avenue, was opened to the public yesterday. Matt Meyer has undertaken the personal management of the place, and has had several changes made, and the work of improvement is still in progress. With Matt Meyer at the helm the success of the undertaking is pretty well assured. Planing at Reasonable Prices.

Novel Fish Catching. Evidently, there isa “fish hog” at Crookston. At least, one should judge so, from the following, taken from the Crookston Journal: ‘‘The gentleman who does the raking of the slats in the forebay at the power house dam has been pulling in pick- erel and pike in the rake lines making good catches in many instances. The Crookston game warden should get after this party as there is no law allowing an angler to use either a hay rake or a garden rake for the purpose of getting in fish. Hired Practical Farmer. R. C.Spooner, who hasan ideal farm at Deer Lake, wasin the city yetserday. Mr. Spooner states that he has hired G. E. Owen, a graduate of the Agriculural University of Wis- consin, to have charge of the farm for this season. Mr. Owen is well versed in agriculture and dairying and Mr. Spooner expects to give a practical demonstration of what can be done on cut-over lands in Belt. rami and Clearwater counties. Mr. Spooner also states that he is preparing for a special exhibit from these counties which he will exhibit at the state fair. Were Here Today From Bagley. Dr. E. N. Falk, ower of the Bagley Times, and Dr. Bjorneby also of Bag- ley, came over from the Clearwater county seat this morning and visited in the city for several hours. Dr. Falk took home with hima gold-headed cane which has been in the custody of the Pioneer since the the doctor was hereon his last visit, during the state fair. Messrs. Falk and Bjorneby “are two of the heavy weights over at Bagley and they have many friends in this city, Home Talent Operetta.

PAUL CITY ELECTION. Result Puts Democrats in Complete Control. St. Paul, May 7.—Daniel W. Lawler, Dem., is the next mayor of St. Paul. He defeated Joseph McKibbin, Rep., by one of the most sweeping victories in the history of local campaigns, cap- turing the office by a plurality of about 4,000. Mr. McKibbin carried only four wards, the First, Seventh, Tenth and Eleventh, securing in only one of these, the Seventh, the normal Repub- lican vote, while in the other wards which he carried he ran away below Republican estimates and even Demo- cratic concessions. On the other hand Mr. Lawler, in carrying the other eight wards, piled up a vote in each district far in advance of the figures expected. The Democrats also elected Louis Betz controller and Otto Bremer treas- urer and made their victory sweeping by securing eight of the nine assem- blymen and ten of the twelve alder- men. Hatpin Stab May Kill. Arlington, S. D., May 7.—Mrs. J. W. Hurd lies at the point of death as the result of a stab from a hatpin.

It had been dismembered <+ oo ol oo ol oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo ol of o o body has been disinterred on the Guinness farm near here, making a total of six. It is believed that more bodies will be found, as several ribs were picked up during the work of the morning which did not belong to any of the bodies previously found. The body disinterred was so badly decomposed that it is impossible to state whether it is that of a male or female until a more careful examina- tion has been made. An examination made of the’ two bodies which had been supposed to be those of children has revealed that they are those of adults and probably men. There is at present no possible clue to their iden- tity. They have evidently been bur- ied for several years. All of them were dismembered in the same man- | ner as that of the man supposed to be Helgelein, a Dakota farmer. A. K. Helgelein insists that the body is that of his brother, while Dr. Meyer de- clares that the differences between Helgelein’s description and the char- acteristics of the corpse are so great as to make it impossible for the body to be that of Andrew Helgelein. Another mystery has developed in the series of murders committed in and around the Guinness house. The sheriff has begun an investigation into the disappearance of Ole Budsberg of Tola, Wis. Budsberg came to Laporte in March, 1907. He was acquainted with Mrs. Guinness and in company with ‘her visited the Laporte Savings bank, where he deposited a note for $1,000 to be collected by the Farmers’ State bank of Iola, Wis. The note was paid April 6, 1907, and Budsberg received $1,000 from the Laporte bank. He has never been seen since that time. Messages sent from here to Iola have elicited the fact that he never returned to that place. Officers advance the theory that the bodies of the men found were those ‘of matrimonial dupes of the woman; that they came here with the expecta- tion of marrying Mrs. Guinness and that after she got their money she iput them out of the way. Believed Woman Is Still Alive. From out of the mass of tangled and sensational evidence there has devel- oped the theory that Mrs. Guinness did not die in the fire which destroyed her home on the night of April 28 and that she is still alive and probably in Chicago. This theory is strengthened by the fact that the head of the body of the woman found in the ruins of the 4- Star Performers at the Brinkman Family Theater All the Present Week The largest and most enthusjastic crowd that ever attended the Brink- man Family Theater was there last evening to greet the three Millards, and everyone was pleased with the performance. Mr. Millard as the silly country boy is a character that will be long remembered by those who witnessed the entertainment last evening, es- pecially his playing on the violin which he plays in every conceivable position. - Loutlay. Baby Millard and Mrs. Millard in their solos and musical turns are artists of great ability. The illustrated song, as sung by Mr. W. J. Mclntire, the splendid tenor, is a rare treat. The moving pictures are without exception the best ever flashed on canvas at this popular place. They are new, novel, and secured a big Change of film tonight. Manager Brinkman is well pleased with the liberal patronage that is accorded the theater asa testimonial of the worth of the attractions shown there. « like the majority of the others. < |3# Laporte, Ind., May 7.—One more |3 -|clue to the murderer.

Fish Trap lake will be dragged for the missing head and unless it is found the officers will make a post mortem examination of the remains | of Mrs. Guinness and subject them to a more careful analysis to learn whether or not the woman was her- self killed in the fire or had substi- tuted the remains of one of her female victims for herself and then set fire to the house to cover up the crime. It is pointed out as opposing the be- lief that Mrs. Guinness is alive' that the day before the Guinness home was burned the woman deposited $1,500 in the State bank here. She was wort' about §20,000 and her passion for money is given as the incentive for the crimes committed. A belief that she might be alive includes the sup- position that she feared Lamphere was about to expose her through jeal- ousy. | The officers also have the mystery of five trunks shipped from Chicago to the Guinness farm to solve. These trunks all :'n'riverl in Laporte during the last four months and in view of the developments it is probable that they contained human bodies, which now lie hidden in some secluded spot on the farm. Anton Olgon of Highlands, Ind., father of Jennie Olson, who was adopt- ed by Mrs. Guinness, has identified the body found as that of his daugh- ter. He said: “I know it is my daughter by her shape and by her wavy, light colored hair. I heard from her about two years ago, but had not received a letter since that time. Mrs. Guinness took my daughter when she was eight months old and had charge of her ever since.” An autopsy on the bodies of two men, one girl and two children, un- earthed Tuesday, showed that all had been murdered. The bodies not dis- membered were found to have holes in the skull. Harry Orchard Reprieved.
