THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOOK, MAARAAAAANAANANAANANA o A | ¢ BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. Mr.. Opsahl and his lsfl;cil(é! must indeed be driven to thelast| ‘ditch when they will resort to lies :nl subterfuges in misleading the pecple to vote for the Sentinel’. By CLYDE J. PRYOR. * | candidate. Tntered in the postofice at Bemidii. Minx.. | as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM Have you been Opsahlized, yet? . FUNKLEY WOULD DO SOMETHING. { The people of this county are very much interested in a normal| school, and should the county lose its representative, it will go to Red | Lake county. So if you are inter- ested in its development, vote for J. J. Opsahl, for a vote taken from him and given to Funkley, is a vote for Ives of Red Lake.—Taken trom the “Opsahlized” Sentinel. The above is one of ‘‘Colonel” Allen’s invitations to vote for his personal candidate for the legislature. A vote for Mr. Funkley is by noj means “a vote for Ives of Red Lake.” A vote for Henry Funkley for the legislature is a vote for a man who will do all in his power, from the opening day of the legis- lature, to secure for Benidji and | Beltrami county many things that are needed from the legislature. It is certainly true that it will not be necessary to send a delegation of representative business men to St. Paul to prod our representative in the legislature to “‘get a move on” and work for our interests on the normal school proposition, as was| the case with Mr." Opsahl last winter, although he finally did “go” fairly well after it had been sug- gested to him that he was the rep- resentative of the people of Beltrami county. SENTINEL NOT AVERSE TO LYING. Under the caption, “Pioneer Takes A Stand,” thé Sentinel contained the following in its last issue: “We are glad to learn that Sunday the Pioneer took a political stand, and came out with the platform: “Tuar No CounNty OPTION MAN CaN REPRESENT THE 61sT DISTRICT, Ir THE PiQNEER AND THEIR EDI- TORIAL STAFF CAN PREVENT IT. *Geod for the editor, glad to have you out in the open.” The above is but one of the many untruthful sweeping assertions made by the Sentinel in its last issue relative to the legislative contest, which is at present occupying the | undivided attention of the Sentiuel, under the directorate or J. J. Opsahl, “Colonel” Allen, “Carpetbagger” Brownand “Informer” Rood. The statement is as untruthful as it is brazen. The Pioneer is not published on Sunday; and further, no such asser- tion as given above was ever made! by. anybody connected with the| Pioneer and clothed with the author- from the former” Rood, has been Opsahliz:d, to a fare-ye-well OVERCOME BY Verily the entire Sentinel outfit, “Growler” down to “In- FUMES OF GAS _ Another Dying. ACCIDENT IN ST. PAUL Gas Tube Attached to Heater in Bath- room Becomes Disconnected and| House Rapidly Fills With the Dead- ly Fumes—Failing to Arouse In- mates a Relative of the Victims Promptly Summoned Aid. St. Paul, Sept. .—Peter J. Schollert, head of the Schollert company, paint- ers and decorators; Mrs. P. Schollert, his wife, and Lewis Christianson, brother of Mrs. Schollert, are dead at the Schollert home as. the result of asphyxiation by illuminating gas. Haus Hendrickson, a cousin of Mrs. Schollert, is at the city hospital, where physicians say he cannot possi- bly recover. The dead and gying were discovered by Mrs. G. Webber, a married daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Schollert, who lives next door, and who, at the re- quest of her brother Victor, who had arisen early and gone to work, went to the house to call her parents and their country visitors, who had been at the fair the previous evening. - Failing to arouse them from their slumbers and detecting a strong odor of gas Mrs. Webber instantly sought help and Dr. Wirth was summoned. He found life extinct in the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Schollert and of her brother, Mr. Christianson. There still remained a spark of life in Mr. Hendricksen and he was hast- ened to the city hospital with a hope of saving his life, although the hos- pital authorities fear that the elderly man cannot withstand the battle for life, as his age and physical condition are against him. A gas tube attached to a hath heater | in the bathroom which became dis- connected by coming in contact with the chain is assigned to be the cause of the accident. When fhe bodies ‘were discov-red gas was pouring from a small stub to which the tube should have bean attached. .|SALT LAKE CITY “CHOSEN Secures Next Year’s Encampment of the G. A. R.

The analysis made by Prof. Derby was furnished to the grand jury, at the spring term of court. We do not want this case tried in the papers but are willing to leave the matter to the courts.” Notice to Employers.
