THE BE VOLUME 6. NUMBER 257. STANTON IS HOME AGAIN; RECEIVED APPOINTMENT Hon. C. W. Stanton of this City Returns from St. Paul With Appointment to Bench of District Court.—Be- midji Now has a Much-Needed Resideiit Judge. JUDCE C. W. STA‘ITON. Judge C. W. Stanton, who was appointed last week by Governor Johnson to the third judgeship created recently in the Fifteenth Judicial district by the state legis- lature, has returned to his home in this city and resumed his duties in the local chambers of the dis- trict court. C. W. Stanton has made a good judge and performed his duties in an impartial manner during the time he was in office from last April | to the beginning of the present year, and the advocates of justice and his many friends in this section of the state will be glad to know that he is again seated on the bench of the district court. The judge announced yesterday afternoon to a representative of the Pioneer that he had appointed Lee LaBaw of Brainerd to act as his court reporter. Mr, LaBaw relieved George Moody of Brainerd, court reporter to Judge McClenahan, dur- ing the recent term of district court for Clearwater county at Bagley; he isa pleasant young man and is thoroughly capable of filling his office in a satisfactory manner. Judge Stanton will preside at the term of district court for Beltrami county which will be opened in this city on the 23rd of this month. The term will be an unusually long one, lasting six weeks or more, on| account of the fact that very little civil work was disposed of at the September session, which was adjourned by Judges McClenahan {and Stanton when its was found that the witnesses and jurors were unable to cash their warraats to pay expen- ses.

Many of the friends and relatives of the sorrowing family were present and as they looked upon the little form in its casket surrounded by beautiful and fragrant Jflowers— yet not more beautiful or purer than the little face within—their hearts swelled with sympathy for the be- reaved family. “There is no death; the stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore; And. bright in heaven’s jeweled crown They shine forever more.” SAD DEATH OGGURRED NEAR BEGIDA SATURDAY Mrs. J.

The Bemidji ‘High School Glee clubs, both the girls’ and the boys’, will render selections and a double quartet also promises someéthing rare in the way of a musical treat. There is considerable talent in these clubs which has been jdeveloped by the efforts of Miss Hanson. The teachers ‘and pupils of the local schools are sadly in' the need of another piano‘, ‘as the one which is now in the high school'room is in use most of the time and oneis needed for the rooms on' the first floor of the building.

Adults will be ‘charged 35 cents with an additional charge’ of 15 cents for reserved seats; chil- dren, 15 cents. * Tickets will be re- Mrs. Hillstead had’ been in poor health for over a year, but no danger was feared until about a week ago when she was taken sick which resulted in-her death: Saturday after= noon.

She leaves to mourn her demise, besides-a husband, three children.

There will doubtlfss be a large audi- ence present Friday evening: as Be- midji’people are fond of - seeing the littlechildren in dramatic work: Card of Thanks. Words ¢annot express our appre- ciation of those friends who have shared with us in our last lonely vigil by the bedside of our beloved oue, Mrs: Henrietta McTaggart, dur- ing her last sickness and death. To the many friends who came to us in our hour of trouble, and who by word or deed have comforted us, 'we return our most heartfelt thanks, and although suph devoted friend- ship cannot remove sad memories that linger on account of the vacant chair in our home, it brings to our memory the brighter side of human- ity, and throws the pure light of ‘an unselfish friendship into a darkened home. To all our fr ds whose sympathy it was ever my lot to visit. I ‘can- not but help remark as to the neat- ness of your town, and the beautiful and natural surroundings you have.” -May Build Sawmill.

He was accom- panied by Frank Lark of Chicago and Frank Halama of Manatowoc, Wis., the latter two filing on govern- ment lands in the upper Red Lake country.
