I Williams Not Local Church Member. In re the W. H. Williams’case,it is but fair to the various churches of Bemidji to state that Williams was never, at any time, a member of any | Bemidji church, although he did sing occasionally at religious ser- vices. Some of the pastors of the churches ! knew of Williams’ action in Crooks- ton, but with charitable intentions hoped Williams would reform and lead a better life here. No insinuations were intended toward local churches, when the Pioneer ‘showed up” Williams’ former record at Crookston, Fresh Strawberries at Roe & Markusen’s store for Saturday trade. _— SURPRISED AT PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT HERE { T. B. McManus Visited Bemidji Eleven Years Ago.—Says We Have a Splendid City. T. B. McManus of Duluth, who is a member .of the state board of grain appeals (known as ‘‘the supreme court of grain inspection”) came to Bemidji yesterday after- noon and looked over the city, to note the many improvements which have been made here in recent years, Mr. McManus was for many | years a resident of Crookston and while there he visited at Bemidji. This was eleven years ago, when Be- midji consisted of buta few houses and at the time the Great Northern train reached here from Fosston. | Inspeaking of the development of the city, since his visit here eleven years ago, Mr. McManus said: “You have certainly made great strides since I was here. This town is rapidly approaching the metro- politan stage and is, I believe, the best town in north-central Minne- sota. “You have progressive, go-ahead business men who are doing the right thing in “boosting” and the future greatness of Bemidji is assured.” Special Meeting of County Board. County Auditor John Wilmann has issued a call for a special meeting of the board of county commission- ers, to be held at the court house in this city on May 4th, for the purpose of taking action on the question of issuing and selling bonds of the county to procure money to pay all outstanding indebtedness of this county, a bill having passed the legislature to allow the board of county commissioners of any county to issue bonds to pay the oatstand- ing indebtedness without submitting the proposition to the people. Hardback-Loucks. . Charles J. Hardback and Mrs. Cinderella * Loucks were married Tuesday afternoon at the Presby! terian parsonage, Reverend S. E. P. White officiating. Mr. Hardback is a resident of Hubbard couny while Mrs. Loucks formerly lived in Missouri. They will make their home on Mr. Hard- back’s farm in the vicinity of Nary. Cass Lake News. Cass Lake, April 23,—(Special to Pioneer.)—A summer training school, lasting four weeks, will be held at Pine River during the month of July, and those having the matter in charge are exerting every effort to make the term one of the most educational ones ever held in the state. Prof. P. P. Kennedy of St. Peter will conduct the school and he will be assisted by a corps said to be composed of the best teachers in the state. Already several ‘have made application to enter the school as soon as it opens. County Superintendent H. H. Hall has stated that those teachers attending the training school will be given the preference when it comes to selecting teachers for the coming year. 2 At a meeting of the village coun- cil held last evening the election of Charles Argall as village attorney was reconsidered and Attorney Funck was elected. Ata meeting, one week ago, Attorney Argall was declared elected, but it was after- ward noted that the vote of the entire council was not taken. A} protest was presented with the re- sult that the former motion was lost. The councilmen then balloted for an attorney w;th the result that Funck received 3, Argall 1 and Smith 1.~ Policeman Breweriette was reappointed for another term. R. H. Schumaker Is Treasurer. In printing the list of officers of the Beltrami County Fair association, the Pioneer inadyertantly 'omitted the name of R. H. Schumaker as treasurer. Mr. Schumaker was duly elected as treasurer for the ensuing year at the meeting of the association held Wednesday evening. Mr. Schumaker has acted as treasurer of the Beltrami County Fair association during the past year and has filled the office very accept- ably, and he will no doubt perform such as good labor this year as here- tofore.

The present session of the dis- trict court for Beltrami county i§ progressing steadily and thegrind of small civil cases has commenced. Yesterday afternoon the case of John Thoreen vs. the Board of County Commissioners was tried without a jury, C. W. Scrutchin appearing for the plaintiff and County Attorney Mckusick for the defendant. The case was submitted to the court and taken under advise- ment. Court adjourned until 9 o’clock this morning, when the case of Emma Thorson vs. the City of Be- midji, et al, was called. G. W. Campbell acted as attorney for the plaintiff and J. F. Gibbons and E. E. McDonald as counsel for the de- fendant. Thisisa $1,000 damage suit for injuries alleged to have been ! received in front of the Coliseum skating rink in January, 1908. Peter Slough Out West. Peter Slough of Nary,who recently left here for atrip to the Pacific coast, writes the Pioneer that he has been at Portland, Ore.; that he is enjoying good health; that the weather is very summerlike and he unwittingly is somewhat sarcastic in hoping that the weather condi- tions are the same here. Mr. Slough does not say when he will return, but it is pretty safe to state that, like others who have gone west, he will soon return to this very desirable country. County Assessors To Meet. A call to the assessors in Bel- trami county has been issued by County Auditor Wilmann for Thurs- day, April 29th, when the assessors will receive their assessment books and discuss matters pertaining to their duties.

Cleveland, April 23.—A careful sur vey of the result of Wednesday's thunder storm shows that the early reports underestimated the extent of the damage wrought along its path The revised list of dead place the number of fatalities at seven. Of these five are in Cleveland and one at Ashtabula. In addition to the dead scores of persons were injured, sev: eral of whom probably will die. The property damage will aggregate over $1,000,000. The storm, which started early Wednesday morning about 100 miles southwest of Cleveland, gained in force until this city was struck, where the greatest damage was done. Aft er leaving Cleveland the force of the wind spent itself to a large extent and no serious damage was done east of Ashtabula. While the weather bureau recorded a velocity of sixty-six miles an hour for the wind the instruments were not in the path of the miniature tor nado. Tt is estimated that the wind blew at a rate of at least seventy-five miles an hour in the path of the storm. Former Goverror Salomon Dead.
