On the contrary, FAMOUS SALVATION ARMY LEGTURER TO BE HERE Colonel Stephen Marshall of Minne-‘ apolis Will Speak at City Hall November 10th. Colonel Stephen Marshall will visit Bemidji,next Wednesday, Nov- ember 10. The cplonel has been a Salvation® Army officer for over twenty-three years and was last month appointed by Commander Booth to take charge of the Northern Province, which is composed of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Northern Michi- gan; and this will be his first visit to Bemidji. Captain and Mrs. J. George Barry, the officers in charge of the local work, are very desirous that Bemidii should not be behind other cities in giving the colonel a hearty welcome. The city opera house has been secured for the meeting which will be held at that time and a prominent citizen will introduce Colonel Mar- shall. Colonel Marshall will Be accom- panied by Staff Captain Story, the Young People’s Secretary for the Northern Province, whois an ex- cellent musician and plays the famous English Concertena. The children and young people of our city should not fail to see this man. Once seen and heard he is never forgotten. It is expected that the city hall will be packed to its capacity. The colonel, previous to coming to his present command, with head- quarters at Minneapolis, was in command of the Chicago Midland Province; with headquarters at Chicago. Good speaking, special music, free admission and a pleasant time should be an inducement for all to be there. More specific arrange- ments will be given later. Olof Solberg Discharged. The case against Olof Solberg, charzed withgiving liquor to Indians, was dismissed yesterday afternoon, on the motion of C. W. Scrutchin, attorney for- the defendant, because the evidence adduced at the hear- ing did not constitute a cause of action. Solberg was arrested last Satur- day, it being claimed at the time that he was caught “redhanded” in literally putting the bottle to his red brother’s lips and making him drunken, or words to that effect; and some voluntary witnesses who agreed to appear at the hearing were quite forceful in the state- ments of what they were going to prove against Solberg. Solberg was arraigned before Court Commissioner Slocum, yester- day afternoon, when the witnesses had forgotten much that they claimed to have known, or else were affected with stage fright. At any rate, according to the county attor- ney, the evidence was very weak, and Solberg was allowed his liberty, the case against him being dis- missed. Accidentally Shot in Leg. Spooner, Nov. 4.—(Special to Pio- neer.)—George Johnson, a home- steader living fifteen miles from this village, on the Rapid river, was accidentally shot in the leg, Tues- day in a rather peculiar manner; and although he had a painful wound, the injury isnot of a very serious nature, Johnson and a compaunion re- turned to the former’s cabin from a hunting expedition, bringing several partridges with them. Johnson went into the cabin to prepare the birds for dinner, while his com- panion remained outside. The visitor placed the loaded shotgun leaning against the cabin door. Johnson suddenly opened the door of the cabin, not knowing the gun was leaning against the door. The gun fell to the ground and was discharged, the load of shot enter- ing the calf of Johnson’s left leg, making an ugly wound. The in- jured man was brought to the Spooner hospital for treatment.
