TOOK CARBOLIC ACID AND CAME NEAR William Sorenson of Fertile, ‘GOING HENCE’ While Under the Influence of Liquor, Swallows Some of Terrible Poison.— Dose Does Not Prove Fatal. Temporarily deranged because of over-indulgence intoxicating liquors, William Sorenson of Fertile made a rash attempt last evening to end his earthly career by drinking carabolic acid. That the deadly fluid did not instantly prove fatal is due to the fact that Sorenson was exceedingly nervous and his hand trembled so that most of the contents of the bottle of acid were spilled, but little of the poison going down his throat. Pedestrians who were on the streets of the city at8 o’clock last evening, in passing the corner of Beltrami and Third, noticed a large- sized man hanging to a telephone pole and murmuring words in the Scandinavian language. He had a bottle in his hand and was seen to lift it quickly to his face and then fall heavily to the side-walk. Bystanders rushed to the man’s side, and from the odor recognized carbolic acid, a half-empty bottle lving by his side indicating that Sorenson probably had suicidal in- tent. Medical aid was summoned and physicians were soon working over in siderable hard work his stomach was relieved of the liquor he had drank and the acid that had entered his system and his attempted suicide bad been thwarted. Sorenson was taken to the city hall, where he regained his faculties during the night. Asked this morning as to why he had taken the acid, Sorenson said that he had been in Bemidji for two or three days and had been drinking heavily; that he did not remember anything after yesterday noon and had no clear recollection of how he obtained the acid or for what reason he drank some of the poison. Beyond having a very sore throat and mouth, Sorenson does not ap- pear to be very much the worse for his experience with carobolic acid. Sorenson is a common laborer, and he had intended to go to Kelli- her and work in the lumber camps, but through frequent and heavy imbibing of whisky he had become greatly intoxicated and his attempt at suicide followed. Sorenson avows that he has had enough of both intoxicating liquor and poisons and is going to the him with the result that after con-| woods to work. PROGEEDINGS DISMISSED AGAINST SHERIFF HAZEN Sheriff Appeared in Federal Court at Fergus Falls and Answered Contempt Charges. Sheriff Hazen returned yesterday from Fergus Falls, where he had been to answer to contempt pro- ceedings in federal court. The Fergus Falls Journal says of the proceedings: “Sheriff Alvin B. Hazen of Bel- trami county was cited to appear in the United States court in this city Monday in contempt proceed- ings to show cause why he should not be punished for failing to con- fine a prisioner according to law. “The proceedings were based on allegations to the effect that one Frank Kling, who had been sen- tenced to sixty days in jail at Be- midji had been allowed the freedom of jail and jail grounds and had also been allowed to go about the city to some extent. “Mr. Hazen appeared and showed that the charges against him were groundless, and that Kling had been confined according to law. Judge Amadon was satisfied that he had done his duty in the premises and the case against him was dis- missed. It appears to have origi- nated as the result of a feud among the county officials. “Hazen was a former resident of Parkers Prairie and his friends will be glad to know that he has been vindicated.” Special bargains in shoes Friday and Saturday only at the Bazaar The Pioneer---40¢ per Month Complete Lings of Chiidren’s Gloaks, Suits, Furs, Sweaters, Hoslery and Underwear T about this store. vailing shades. style, quality and fit.

MOON HAS “We Shall Get Office So,” County Auditor R. C. Hayner an- nounces that he has appointed C. O, Moon of Blackduck to act deputy auditor, and that Mr. will assume his new duties the end of the present week. In making the appointment, Mr. Hayner stated that he believed he was selecting the very best man he could have chosen to act as his assistant in untangling the affairs of the auditor’s office and conduct the business of the county in a methodi- cal manner, “Mr. Moon is, I believe, an ideal man for the place,” said Auditor Hayner, yesterday. “Mr. Moon served as deputy auditor under former County Auditor Sylvester and was also a valuable assistant to County Auditor Wilmann for some time. “Mr. Moon thoroughly under- stands the intricate workings of the as his Moon before BEEN NAMED DEPUTY COUNTY AUDITOR Auditor Hayner Secures Services of Valuable Assistant.— in Order and Keep It Says the Auditor. office and has amply demonstrated his fitness to do the work required of him. “Mr. Moon has been a resident of Beltrami county fo_r the past ten years and is thoroughly conversant with its affairs. “We intend to clean up the busi- ness which has accumulated in the auditor’s office of late and propose to keep a ‘clean slate’ from now on. “We propose to have sufficient clerk hire to put the affairs of the office in ‘ship-shape’ and we shall keep them that way.” Mr. Hayner is taking hold of the duties of auditor with apparent confidence, and with a first-class deputy, should “make good” in every department. A meeting of the county board will be held December 1, when sev- eral matters in connections with the auditor’s office will be brought before the board for consideration. 168 BODIES FOUND IN Were Huddied Together, ina Mingled Mass, Bursied Beyond a Possibil- ity of ldentification.
