Howard, Indian agent at White Earth, and his assistants, who conducted a pay- ment here, Bemidji being considered the Central point for the large number of annuitants east, north and west of Bemidji. A notable feature of the payment was an order issued by Mayor Pogue closing the saloons of the city from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m., while the payments were being made to various Indians who were present to get their “coin.” The action of the mayor was taken at the request of Commissioner of Indian Affairs Valentine, who, through his acting commissioner, F. H. Abbott of Washington, made the request to Major Howard that the Bemidji saloons be closed while the payments were being made today. Mayor Pogue acted promptly on the suggestion of the commissioner, and Chief Knox and his policeman personally notifiedevery saloonkeeper in the city to close his saloon promptly at 10 o’clock and keep it closed until 4 o’clock this afternoon. Itis stated on good authority that special agents were here to “keep tab” on how the order of the com- missioner. was complied with and with authority to arrest anyone who violated the order.

I5.—(Special cor- respondence of the Pioneer.)—Miss Hilma Aronson, 28 years old, who has been acting as a nurse at the hospital in Spooner, conducted by Dr. ]J. E. Corrigan, died this morn- ing as a result of an over-dose of hyanide. B Whether or not the same was taken with suicidal intent is not known. About 5 o’clock Friday morning were W. G. West, chi’ef clerk; Wil- liam Daily, interpreter, and W. G. Lufkin and Peter King, Indian police. The payment was held at the city hall, where the Indians who had money coming called for their checks. The payment has been an orderly one, all day, the Indians having invested heavily in clothing and provisions, and so faras was apparent on the streets no Indian was able to get anything in the form of intoxicating liquor. It had been the intention of Major Howard to make payment here to White Earth annuitants living at Redby, Bena, Cass Lake, Walker, Onigum and also those who live in the “Big Bend,” south of Ebro. Owing to the severity of the weather it was impossible for any of the annuitants of Onigum or Cass Lake to cross Leech lake or Cass lake and the checks for these annuitants were given to Dr. Smith, Indian agent at Cass Lake, who will see that they are properly distributed. Major Howard stated that at the payment which was made at Beaulieu on November 10-11 more than 800 Indians received their checks of $6.40; at Duano, on the 13th. inst. 200 Indians received annuities. The Major and his party go from here to Pine Point and Ponsford, in the southeastern corner of the White Earth reservation, where payments will be made on the 16, 17, and 18, at the conclusion of which the party returns to White Earth for several days. she awoke Dr. Corrigan and stated that she had taken 100 grains of hyanide. The doctor administred the antidote, but with no effect. The cause of death as given by Dr. Corrigan, in the burial permit, is *“hyandal poisoning, suicidal.” Deputy Coroner F. E. Johnson was called and he deemed an inquest unnecessary. No cause is known for the suicide, except overwork. Miss Aronson has a sister in Kansas City, Mo. Wholesome Is it wholesome?

Manager Brinkman announces a really feature week at the Brinkman Family Theater this wéek. with three acts that are the equal if not the superior of any shown in this city, The feature act of this week will be the Marvelous Cowles Family, America’s Premier - Novelty Gymnasts, featuring Marguerite, the physicial culture marvel. These people are really what they claim, marvels in gymnastics, and their acts are original and highly sensational. They appeared here about two years ago, and made a big hit, They have new acts this season and will certainly please. Leslie and Carrie, a dramatic comedy team, will give their great stunt, “The Ruined Clerk.” This sketch is fast and pleasing from start to finish, The Singing and Dancing Dupars are a new team who are very natty and who come well recommended to complete an exceptionally strong bill of vaudeville. The moving pictures are always the best the film makers produce; and there should be large crowds at the Brinkman this week. DAUGHTER TELLS OF CRIME Says Mother, Now Insane, Killed Hus- band in 1906. Chicago, Nov. 15.—Henry Broden- heyer, a jeweler of Madison, Wis., ‘who was found dead near his home in the summer of 1906 and believed to have been murdered by robbers, was killed by his wife, Margaret Broden- heyer, now a patient at the Dunning insane asylum here, according to' a confession made by Clara Broden- heyer, their- daughter, to Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler. The girl, who is eighteen years of age, related to the police her confes- sion of her father’s murder by her mother and how she had aided in dis- posing of the body, how the crime had driven her mother insane and how the terrible story had haunted her. The confession came as a climax to months of investigation conducted by Chicago detectives after Mrs. Bro- denheyer and her daughter had fled from Madison to Chicago to escape from the scene of the crime. Woman Freed of Murder Charge. Green Bay, Wis., Nov. 15.—The coro- ner’s jury, drawn to investigate the death of Otto W. Zindars, deputy mar- shal of De Pere, brought in a verdict of accidental death received by a gun in. the hands of Francis Martel, ex- onerating the woman from the charge of murder, but recommending that she be held for a statutory offense anad for the careless handling of firearms. Unknown Probably Murdered. ‘Washburn, Wis.,, Nov. 15.—Another murder was evidently brought to light here through the finding of an un- known floater on the bay shore. The stranger has a bad wound over the right eye which doctors say was done before the man died. - The man is of large stature and has one arm off be- low the elbow. GOUNTY BOARD WILL TAKE ACTION TOMORROW Will Act on Revocation of Licenses and Also Select New County Auditor. The board of county commission- ers will meet in this city tomorrow for the purpose of conducting a hear- ing, at which Chris Rogers of Shot- ley and Carl Saterlee of Nebish will be requested to show cause why the county liquor licenses held by them cannot be revoked. The hearing will be conducted at the request of H. A. Larson, special officer for the Indian department, who has lodged complaint against both Saterlee and Rogers charging that they have sold liquor to Indians and have also introduced liquor into the “Indian country.” When the complaints were lodged with County Attorney McKusick forthwith issued notices to Saterlee and Rogers to appear at the special meeting of the board of county com- missioners to be held November 16, when they must show cause why their licenses should not be revoked. ‘The campaign for appointment as county auditor to succeed John Wil- mann, removed, goes merrily. on and the contest for the position is begin- ning to get strenuous. The members of the board of county commissioners have been notified to meet at 2 o’clock to- morrow afternoon for the purpose of naming a successor to Mr. Wil- mann, but it is not likely that they will finish the matter of the consider- ation and revocation of certain liquor licenses in time to take up the matter of the election of a new auditor promptly at 2 o’clock. There appears to be some fifteen or sixteen residents of the county who are willing to assume the responsibilities connected with the office of county auditor and who would not be unwilling to accept the emo'uments and perquisites appertaining’ thereto. An interesting feature of the con- test is the receipt by James L. George, one of the most prominent candidates for appointment, of a lengthy petition from Blackduck, wherein the members of the county board are requested to name Mr. George as auditor. This petition is signed by both C. G. Moon and L. G. Townsend, who have been ac-| credited with being candidates for selection as auditor. Small Blaze; Carlessness. An electric light wire, attached to which was a home made wire fuse, caused considerable excite- ment and a small blaze at the home of William Sherwood, Satur- day evening, the fire being dis- covered as soon as it began blaz- The fire occurred at about the time the hights were turned on, in the eveuing An alarm of fire was given and the firemen responded promptly, but it was not necessary to turn on ‘- any water, But little damage was done to the house—about g$i1o dollars would cover it. . Ttié asserted that the fire was caused by tte improper fusing of the electric light wire, the occupant of the house héving used a piece of copper wire in an attempt to put\in his own fuse. This is a dangerous practice; and Charles Warfield informs the Pio- 'neer that it is that his company charges nothing | for putting in fuses, and demands that they be notified when fuses are needed, so that there will be no danger of fire.

The first real Borean blast that has touched Bemidji since last winter rushed down from Medicine Hat during Saturday night, being accompanied with a generous fall of snow, with the result that Sunday morning the earth was covered with a foot or more of the ‘beautiful,” very dangerous; || Having formed the determination to retire from the cares and worries of a strenuous business life, Mrs. L. L. Berman announces that she intends leaving the city to make her home in the west and will at once proceed to dispose of the entire mammoth stock at the Ber- man Emporium. The announcement of Mrs. Ber- man’s determination to retire from Bemidji business circles has been received with no little concern as the Berman Emporium, under Mrs. Berman’s personal management, has always been recognized as one of the leading business concerns ‘of Bemidji and as the announcement is accompanid by the declaration that the high class goods at the store must be sold at once and that great reduction will be made in the origi- nal price of the goods it is with the expectation of being able to secure substantial women’s wearing MRS. L. BERMAN TO RETIRE FROM ACTIVE BUSINESS The Entire Mammoth Up-to-Date Stock of the Berman Emporium Will Be Sold at Once.—Closing Out Sale Begins Wednesday. apparel at a very low figure that the opening sale, beginning Wednesday morning, is looked forward to. The Berman Emporium is one of the Jargest establishmentsin north- ern Minnesota which handles women’s wearing apparel and all classes of .dry goods, and the ‘store at the present time is stocked with fully $22,000 worth of fall and win- ter goods, all of which are of recent purchase and of very latest design. The Emporium has been closed to- day and will also be closed to- morrow and Mrs. Berman and her large corps of able assistants have been busy marking new prices on the goods, making a slashing reduction in the original prices. This big sale will undoubtedly be one of the most important affairs of any ever held in the city of Bemidji and everybody should visit the store early so as to get first opportunity to purchase goods. and snow shovels were the order most of the day. The storm of Saturday night con- tinued unabated all day Sunday, and the snow greatly interferred with traffic, both afoot and a-horse, and clearly put automobiles temporarily out of business. The storm delayed freight and passenger traffic on all roads enter- ing Bemidji, and trains were late from an.hour to two or three hours, The storm abated during last night, and with- the wind subsided today was pleasant, although some- what chilly. The fall of snow is just what the hunters in the woods desired; and no doubt many deer will be killed during the next week. Mrs. Hart’s Funeral Tomorrow. The funeral of the late Mrs. Hart will be held at the Lahr undertaking o’clock. T. J. Martin will have charge of the services, and the body will be buried in Greenwood cemetery. Sale opens on Wednesday at 9 a. m. at the Berman Emporium. parlors, tomorrow afternoon, at 2:30 | Much Logging in Kabekona Country.
