At a meeting of farmers held in the court house in this city Saturday afternoon, called for the purpose of organizing a farmers’ mutual insur- ance company, about thirty repre- sentative “tillers of the soil” were present from different parts of the county, and also seyeral prominent Bemidji business men. W. R. Mackenzie acted as chair- man of the meeting and Matt Phibbs secretary. On motion it was decided to incor- porate as the Farmers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Beltrami County, Minnesota, and Mr. Mac- kenzie and Mr. Thibbs were in- structed to draw up articles of incor- poration and by-laws, and otherwise to perfect the organization. Much enthusiasm was shown and all present expressed themselves as favorable to the movement.

SUPREME GOURT OUSTS KOOGHICHING'S SHERIFF The Highest State Tribunal Decides for Henry W. Farrer, as Against Hugh Meintosh. The supreme court has sustained the contention of the petitioner in the case of the State of Minnesota ex rel., Henry W. Farrar, petitioner, vs. Hugh T. McIntosh, respondent, wherein the petitioner sought to obtain the office of sheriff of Kooch- iching county, which was being filled by McIntosh. The St. Paul Pioneer Press says of the decision of the court: “Among the cases decided Friday was the one granting writ to oust H. T. McIntosh from the office of sheriff of Koochiching county, as petitioned for by Henry W. Farrar. The sheriff-elect had died and McIntosh was elected for a two-year term early in the afterndon before the retiring county county commissioners went out of office. As soon as the new board met it elected Farrar. The court holds that the old board was limited on the closing of old busi- ness and to matters of necessity.” Judge M. A. Spooner of this city and F. J. McPartlin"of International Falls were of counsel for the relator and conducted the case before the supreme court. George H. Spear and Royal A. Stone were attorneys for McIntosh.

Professor Bass, civil engineer for the state board of health, and Pre- fessor Whittaker, state chemist spent yesterday in the city and, in com- pany with M. D. Stoner, city engin- eer, inspected the sewer outlet and looked over the proposed waterworks system. The two state officials while rather reticent as to the opinion they had formed concerning the efficiency or inefficiency of the improvements in which they were interested were, nevertheless, undoubtedly well pleased. They offered no criticism concern- ing the sewer outlet and unhesitat- ingly pronounced the waterworks system as being efficient in every way. Speaking of the number of im- provements, they complimented Be- midji very highly on the very excel- lent results obtained on street improvements, sidewalks, etc. Additional Locals Stamping done at Henrionnet’s Millinery parlors this week only.

Barcelona, Aug. 2—Two hundred rioters, summarily tried and convicted by courtmartial, were executed here. They were lined up against a stone wall and shot. There is still much rioting and bloodshed in the city. Government troops are nominally in control. They command . all the principal streets, where they ‘have mounted field and rapidfire guns to prevent the collec tion of crowds. The insurgents, however, are still in possession of hundreds of houses and are keeping up 2 fire from barred windows upon the soldiers. Unless this harassment ceases the authorities declare they will set fire to every house in which the revolutionists hold out. The suburbs are still unsubdued. Bridges have been blown up and the troops are unable to reach the sub- urbs. The revolutionists are now concentrating in the saburbs and are erecting barricades of barbed wire. Scenes in the main part of the city resemble those of the French com- mune of 1851. The police and sol- diers, now that they have the upper hand, are seeking revenge and are fearfully maltreating helpless victims. Even relatives of wounded rioters have been arfested as they attempted to minister to the injured. The city has sustained such tre- mendous physical damage that it will be months before it can resume its normal business activity, There is not a building in the city that es- caped damage. DEMONSTRATION IN FRANCE Troops Compelled to Disperse Spanish Refugees. Hendaye, France, Aug. 2—Spanish refugees here made violent manifesta- tions during the night.

Washington, Aug. 2.—That the rul- ings of the court of Inquiry investi- gating the death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton, U. 8. M. C, at Annapolis, Ma., will not be interfered with by the navy department, is clearly indicated. In a letter addressed to Henry E. Davis, counsel for Mrs. Sutton, moth- er of the dead officer, Beekman Win- made a clean sweep from the Tybee depot to the sea’s edge, through the big hotel, bathhouses, pavilions, etc. The loss is practically complete, Many of the guests after the first fright returned to their rooms only to escape again from Weneath falling walls with a few of their most valued belongings.

Two Rivers, Wis, Aug. 2—Three Women were seriously burned and are in a critical condition and four others were less serlously burned by the ex- plosfon of the gasoline yacht of Attor- ney Fred Dicke. That all the women in the party were not burned to death or drowned while trying to escape the flames is due to the heroism of Attorney Dicke, who, leaped overboard after the ex- MRS. SUTTON. throp, assistant secretary of the navy, stated that the department, in view of the facts, must decline to accede to his requests to vacate the ruling of the court by which Mrs. Sutton was declared to.be regarded as a ‘“com- plainant or accuser.” * The same ruling ordered that all persons present at the time of the death of Lieutenant Sutton should be regarded in the position of “defend ants.” AT A SALARY OF $10,000 Mrs. Ella Young Head of Chicago’s 8chool System.
