McIntosh, the sheriff of Koochiching county whose incum- bency in office is being contested in the courts, came to the city last evening trom International Falls and spent the night here. Joe Kinvell of Kelliher, better known to his personal friends as “salver” Joe, returned to his home at Kelliher last evening after having spent yesterday in the city looking after some business matters. J. N. Gayner of Litchfield, Minn., special deputy state public examiner, arrived in the city last evening for the purpose of examining and audit- ing the accounts and books of the Independent School District of Be- midji, in accordance with a resolu- tion recently adopted by the Beltrami board of county commissioners. John G. Morrison, Jr., returned yesterday afternoon to his home at the Red Lake Indian agency, after having come to the city yesterday from a visit to the twin cities. An effort was made to have John tarry for the Elks’ meeting, but “business is business” with Mr. Morrison; and he was compelled to forego the pleasure of “browsing” with the local “herd.” O. H. Reithner of Deer River, who is a member of Bemidji Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O. E., came to the city vesterday afternoon and met with the local Elks last evening.

He expects to return to Plummer tomor- row or Sunday. Mr. Parker says that the many wild rumors of the “Soo” railway unloading large quan- tities of construction material at Thief River Falls or Plummer is a hoax, at present, at least, as none has been left at either place. S. S. Titus and F. F. Stokes of Grand Forks, N. D., returned to Bemidji last evening from a visit to Smiley. They did some fishing on Pelican lake, near Smiley, and had fine luck. They succeeded in catching a fine bunch of black bass (nice, plump fellows), and were very proud of their catch. It was differ- ent over at Grand Forks, in the early days, when people condescended to go a-fishin’ over there. One would get a catfish on his line and be com- pelled to chase an inverted cane pole down the river some miles, toa shallow spot, where he could lie in wait for his “catness” and slay the “hog” with a club. Used to be fine fishing over there, on the Red river. M. NURICK Up-to=-date Shoe Shop Removed from 207 Beltrami Ave. to Minnesota Avenue, opposite International Hotel. N, — M. E.

Robert Foy, the veteran resident of the Battle River country, who has lived near Kelliher so long that every man, woman and child in the country has a personal acquaintance with him, spent yesterday in Be- midji and returned home by way of Kelliher, last evening. We have it that a young son has been born to Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Harris, and that J. O. simply cannot look anywhere except toward home, these days. In the words of T. J.

Baden Baden, Germany, June 4.— Dr. Theodore Barth, leader of one of the radical parties in the German reichstag, died here of a malady of the digestive organs. He was born in 1849. Dr. Barth had behind him thirty- five full years of work for liberalism in Germany. He had been styled an extreme radical and for some years he had becn the leader of that group in the reichstag. He lost his seat at the last election because he gave up a sure district to a friend -and ran in a doubtful constituency. He was an in- tense admirer of the institutions and political personalities of the United States and he made several long vis- its to America. He traveled for sev- eral months in 1896 with William J. Bryan and other American campaign- ers, studying the electoral methods, and he also spent a considerable por- tion of the year 1907 in America. Dr. Barth’s father was an Bast In- dian planter and left him a consid- erable fortune, which he spent gen- erously for political objects. He edit- ed for twenty-four years a high class weekly, Die Nation, the publication of which he stopped in 1907. SOCIAL LION AND _ FINANGIAL GENIUS Egfiaped Gonvict Gets fo Top of . Ladder in Five Months, Bainbridge, Ga., June 4.—It took Charles Harding, alias A. D. Oliver, just five months and three days to run the social gamut from escaping con- viet through the roles of promoter, millionaire, envied bridegroom of South Georgia and back to the peni- tentiary again. The climax came when Sheriff Jones of Monroe county, Miss., arrived here and identified A. D. Oliver as the Charles Harding who escaped from custody Dec. 31 last. Hardlng, said the sheriff, had eleven years to serve in Mississippi for ob- taining money under false pretenses. The sheriff said that previously Har- ding served in an Ohlo penitentiary for a similar offense. Barlv in Jannarv Oliver appaared at Climax, Ga., near here, and the re- port was spread that he was worth $5,000,000. Oliver posed as a cap- italist, bought lumber mills and tim- ber lands and established a bank at Climax. At the height of his success he married Miss Rosc English. He was hoth a social lion and reputed financial genius. A few days ago Oliver was arrested charged with swindling the people of Climax out of many thousand dollars, his bride filed suit for divorce and one of his employes in the Climax bank was threatened with lynching after Oliver had been placed In jail here. News of the arrest attracted the attention of the Mississippi au- thorities.
