Auditor-Elect Hayner spoke a few and I. G. Haycraft of words of thanks to the board for his | @ election. He stated that he was not a politician, never was one and | i never would be one, but that he thanked the commissioners from bottom of his heart for electing him as auditor. “God helping me,” said Mr. Hayner, “I will do my best to fulfill the duties of the office. I believe that Beltrami county is the key-note of the north and one of the most important counties in the state. Again I thank you; I will do my best.” The board decided to fix the bond | % of the new auditor in the sum of|3 $5,000, with good and sufficient sureties, and adjourned o’clock this afternoon, at which time they were to receive the bond of Mr. Hayner.

The eldest of the boys removed a cartridge which was still in the rifie, but later replaced it in the magazine of the gun. The youngest of the boys later took the rifle, and not knowing that the cartridge had been replaced in the magazine, aimed it playfully at his sister and pulled the trigger. There was a defeaning report, and the girl fell to the floor, a gaping wound in her chest causing the life blood to flow in a stream on the floor. The little form was laid on a nearby bed, and with but a slight tremor life was extinct. The deplorable accident has almost distracted the boy who did the shooting and unintentionally killed his sister, and the death of the girl has cast a gloom over the entire family. The little girl lived for some time at the home of Frank Gagnon, a brother of Victal Gagnon, in this city, and was known to many Be- midji people. FARMERS INSTITUTE TO BE HELD HERE DEC. 4TH F. B.
