SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A DOGTOR AT SPOONER Baking Powde Received Highest Award World’s Pure Food Exposition Chicago, November, 1907 George W. Toomb Died and Dr. Oppli- ger Allgges Malpractice on Part of Dr. Corrigan. Spooner, March 9.—(Special . What does this mean? to Pioneer.)—George Toomb, It means that Calumet has set a new Standard in employed by the Cross-Dodds Baking Powder—the standard of the World. Lumber company as assistant Because this award was given to Calumet after thorough tests and experiments, over all other baking powders. It means that Calumet is the best baking powder in every particular in the world. And this means that Calumet produces the best, most delicious, lightest, and purest ba.kmg of all baking powders. Doesn’t that mean everything to you? manager, while driving near the Shevlin-Mathiue Lumber com- pany’s planer, last Thursday was thrown from the load and struck on his head being severely injured. Dr. J. E. Corrigan was first called in attendance and after- wards Dr. G, Oppliger. Toombs never regained consciousness and died Saturday evening. All arrangements for a funeral had been completed to be held today, but it developed that Dr. Oppliger in his certificate of death alleged malpractice on the part of Dr. Corrigan and as a result, Dr. Corrigan, who is chairman of the Board of Health, refused to issue a burial permit, necessitating the calling of the coroner from Bemidji and it is expected that he will arrive here tomorrow and that an inquest and post mortem examina- tion will be held. Geo. W. Toombs was 24 yeats o age and a son of Alonzo Toomb and was born and raised near Stephen, Minn. The postponement of the funeral has raised an enor- mous furore in the village as Mr. Toomb was one of the most popular young men here and nearly every- one is arranged on the side of one or the other doctor.

Johnson, KEEL OF OUR BIGGEST WARSHIP LAID DOWN Historic Date Chosen for Even In Brooklyn Navyyard. New York, March 9.—Ceremonies almost equal to those of a launching marked the laying of the keel of the new battleship Florida at the Brook- lyn navyyard today. The occasion was marked by the presence of a large number of invited guests from ‘Washington, New York and Brooklyn. Today's date is a memorable one in the history of the nayy. On March 9, 1862, the Monitor, which was con- structed in Brooklyn, fought the Mer- rimac in Hampton Roads. The Florida and her sister ship, the Ttah, will' be the two most powerful vessels of the United States navy and will be equal to any afloat. They will be 25,000-ton vessels. The keel of the Utah was recently laid at Camden, N. J. She is being constructed by a private shipbuilding firm and there is _great rivalry between her builders and the navyyard here in regard to the time of completion of the two ships. Every effort will be made by the Bov- ernment constructors in charge of the Florida’s building to have her com- pleted before the Utah is ready for launching. The local navyyard offi- clals are proud of their record in con- structing the Connecticut, flagship of the around the world fleet, but they tuted one of guily through attorney, F. A. Jackson. Judge . Stanton considered the prisoner’s yotuh ‘(Lucken: is only twenty-two years old)-and gave him a reformatory sentence. .Lucken will be taken to thestate reform school at St. Cloud tomorrow. Lucken secured' ten blank time checks belonging to the K Ross & Ross Logging company and by forging the name of ‘the clerk on the checks, he secured $224 from Gill Brothers of this city. The court also granted a new trial, in the ~case of Gibbany vs. McKinnon, in which the plaintiff was grantéd a judgement of $400 last October. This case involves the conversion of some horses.
