| R T T e SRS s arne GUNTHER AND TREMBLE T0 MEET SOON IN RING Latest Boxing Match Arranged Will Be a Good One.—Gunther IsAfter Whitehead. The Duluth Evening Herald says of the fight which will soon be pulled off between Ben Tremble and George Gunther: “George Gunther, the negro pug who lately blew into Duluth looking for a match with Whitehead, has been matched, according to his man- Curley Ulrich, with Ben Tremble for a 15-round go to take place March 1. that the fighters would meet at catch weights, that each man had posted $100 to appear, and that the bout would take place somewhere in the ager, Ulrich announced Northwest, the exact spot having not yet been determined. “The Australian fighter is doing pretty well in getting matches lined up, in and about Duluth, and from present indications he will be kept busy until Walter Whitehead is at leisure. “The two fights which Gunther has on will give fight fans an oppor- tunity to see just what he has. “Tremble some time ago, fought a draw with Whitehead. The bout between Gunther and Tremble will give the fans a good idea how White- head and Gunther will stack up. “Tremble has fought Mike Shrieck twice, “Then there is Gunther’s fight with “Barrel” Smith. Smith is a fairly clever little boxer, and he promises to work his colored brother out, showing the fans just what the boy from the other side possesses. This fight is to be but ten rounds, and although “Barrel” has not met many men who were hailed as being as good as Gunther, he is confident he can stay the limit. “Gunther and his manager have opened a gymnasium in the build- ing formerly occupied by the Maine hotel on lower Lake avenue. Ulrich and Gunther work out together every day and although he always keeps himself in good condition. Gunther expects in a short time to be ready for any of them.” Many local people are acquainted with Ben Tremble, who has the reputation of being one of the squarest “‘pugs” in the roped arena. Ben fought in Cass Lake two years ago, and he is well known there, as well as in Bemidji, and many here- abouts will - await anxiously the outcome of his "'go” with Gunther, who is admittedly one of the best men of his weight in the world today. District Court. The grand jury at the present session of the district court inspected the county jail yesterday afternoon, the city jail this morning and have been looking over the county’s former poor farm across Lake Bemidji this afternoon. It is gener- ally expected thatthis body will complete its deliberations late this afternoon and, in case it does, the Pioneer will have a complete account of its report in Monday’s issue.

Judge Stanton ordered the discharge of the bonds for $3,000 which Sam Kee had put up as bail. R. C. Sermon of Hibbing, who had charge of the Coliseum skating rink in this city last fall, was indicted of grand larceny in the first degree.

FREEMAN DOUD ANSWERS T0 THE FINAL ROLL CALL LGontinued trom Page 8] earthly career, and he died as he had lived, loath to give up the unequal contest with the “grim reaper. Freeman Doud was a man of generous impulses and never forgot the hospital ways of the pioneer. The stranger, even though a beggar, never failed to find shelter and food if he sought it at his hands, and he delighted in neighborly offices, at all times. He had borne adversity bravely and enjoyed prosperity quietly. ~ He was a man who united sound sense with strong convictions, and a candid, outspoken temper, eminently fitted to mould the rude elements of pioneer society into form aad con- | sistency, and aid in raising ahigh standard of citizenship in our young community. He is gone. Another name is stricken from the ever-lessening roll of our old settlers, .and a_solitary woman in the sunset of life, and a lonely home are left to attest how sadly they will miss him. It must be so; these tender human ties can- not be severed without a pang. Yet in such a death there is really no cause for grief. His work was done, and well done, The funeral services of the late Freeman Doud will be held at the M. E. churche in ‘this city tomor- row afternoon, at 2 o’clock. The body will be taken from Lahr’s undertaking parlors to the church, prior to the services. Rev. Denis- ton will have charge of the services, and the body will be buried in Greenwood cemetery. The mem- bers of R. H. Carr Post, G. A. R, and the Major Wilkinson Circle will attend the funeral in a body. B e S Dissolutlon of Partnership.

Ben Teal Convicted of Subornation of Perjury. PATHETIC SCENE IN COURI Defendant Falls to Her Knees anc .One of the Jurors Weéps When the Verdict Is Announced—Woman the ‘Plaintiff in. Sensational Breach o Promise Case at St. Paul a Couple of Years Ago. New York, Feb. 27—Mrs. Margare Teal, wife of Benjamin Teal, one oi the best known theatrical managers in this country, was convicted of attempt ed subornaflon of perjury in the di vorce case of Helen Kelley Goulé dgainst Frank J. Gould. Mrs. Teal was sentenced to serve one year it the- penitentiary on Blackwells island As the verdict of the jury was pro nounced Mrs. Teal, who had arisen to hear the verdict, sank to her knees and was lifted to a chair by the at tendants. She then burled her face in her muff. One of the jurors was weeping as the verdict was rendered and the sentence imposed. All the Jurors signed' a recommendation ta clemency. Judge Foster, in sentencing Mrs. ‘Teal, said he would not add to her suftering by referring to her record, with which, ‘he said, the district at: torney had acquainted him. The judge said that he had been greatly impressed by the Touching Bearing of Mr. Teal, who had sat beside his wife through- out the trial. Counsel for Mrs. Teal sald he would apply for a certificate of reasonable doubt and endeavox to obtaln Mrs. Teal's freedom on bail. “This has been the mistake of a gar- rulous woman and ‘lacks the intent that usually appears in cases of this kind,” the counsel added. Mrs. Teal was indicted last year Jointly with Mrs. Julia Fleming (or Julia-McCabe) and Harry S. Mousely, a private detective. =~ They were charged with attempting by offers of money: to induce Mabhel McCauslan, a milliner’s apprentice, to give false evi- dence against -Frank J. Gould in the divorce cnse. Mrs. Fleming and Mousely turned state’s evidence. A pathetic feature of Mrs. Teal’s case is that she s the mother of a child but sixteen months old. As Mrs. W. C. Toomey Mrs, Teal| ‘was plaintiff in a_ sensational breach of promise case against Dr. J. W. Bet: tingen at St. Paul about two years ago. Toomey, her first husband, was private secretary to James J.

GERTIFICATE SENT T0 WASHINGTON Stephenson’s Friends Claim He Has Been Re-fileuted. Madison, Wis., Feb. 27.—While the ‘Wisconsin legislature continues to ballot for United States senator in Joint assembly daily the supporters of United States Senator Isaac Stephen- son contend that Stephenson was clected United States senator on sep- arate ballot on Jan. 26, when he re- ceived a majority of the votes cast in each branch of the legislature. On the separate ballot Stephenson re- ceived 60-votes in the assembly, a clear majority. In the senate he re- ceived 12 out of 17 votes cast for dif- ferent candidates. Sixteen senators voted “present.” <On' every day since the separate ballot was taken Lieutenant Governor John Strange has refused to entertain a motion to the effect that Stephen- son was elected on separate ballot, always declaring the motion out 6f order and contending that a majority must be had in joint convention. From Lieutenant Governor Strange’s point of view a deadlock still continues. Taking the stand that Stephenson was elected on separate ballot his supporters secured a certificate of election signed by Governor Davidson and countersigned” by -Secretary of State James A. Frear. United States District Attorney Wheeler is now on his way to Washington with. the cer- tificate of election in the hope that the United States senate committee on 2lections will recognize the certificate as’sufficient credentials of election.

Edmonds, Pue- licher and Sackett in explaining what they knew about certain checks. New sHigh Record for Wheat.

TAXATION VITAL QUESTION If Ministerial Measure for an Increase of Death Duties Fails the Reichstag Will Be Dissolved and New Elec” tions' Held—Victory for Opponents at the Polls . Would Mean Retire- ment of Ministry. Berlin, Feb. 27.—The internal polit- fcal situation in Germany is approach- ing a serious crisis over the proposed revenue measures and unless the min- istry is successful in its stand in the matter of the death dutles it is de- olared in political circles that the reichstag will be dissolved. Further- more, should new elections result in an adverse majority Chancellor von Bulow will have to retire. The Conservatives'and the Clericals for some time past have been exerting the utmost pressure on the govern- ment to compel it to abandon these death duties, to which the great land owners of the country are stoutly ep- posed. When the tax committee as- sembled these two parties presented a CHANCELLOR VON BULOW. compromise, in which they substituted for the death duties heavily increased contributions from the states to the empire. Reinhold Sydow, secretary of the imperial treasury, accompanied by the finance ministers of all the fed- eral states, appeared before the com- mittee and announced that the gov- ernment was irrevocably committed to the death duties.. This declaration foreshadows a sharp contest, in which the government will be supported by the National Liberals, the Radicals and the Socialists, a wholly unprece- dented combination for the support of an imperial policy.. The critical ques- tion is whether the ministry will be able to secure enough Conservative votes to bring about the enactment of the dutfes in question. BERLIN “RIPPER” CAPTURED Run Down by Policeman After Attack 3 on Woman. Berlin, Feb. 27.—The man who dur- ing the last fortnight has been mak- ing a serfes of attacks upon women on the streets has been captured.
