Huss, one of the head engineers of the Soo Railway com- pany, will, from now on, make his headquarters in Bemidji, and will act as division engineer of the new Plummer-Moose Lake éxtension of the Soo, which is in operation of building. Mr. Huss has established offices in the O’Leary-Bowser block, from which he will direct the local opera- tions of the Soo. Mr. Huss had charge of the con- struction of the Cuyuna branch of the Soo, and as soon as his work there was completed, he made arrangements to move from Aitkin to Bemidji and take charge of the engineer work on this division. Mr. Huss has associated with him as clerk H. S. Funston, who has charge of the local office when Mr. Huss is away. Bemidji people feel very kindly toward Mr. Huss, who did much with the Soo company to prevail upon that road to extend its line into this city. Additional Election Returns. Village of Spooner.—B. P.

Tuesday evening, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. McCawley in this city, Miss Elsie Walker was agreeably surprised by a number of school friends. Miss Walker had come to the McCawley home to study, but from what is learned of the affair, not much work was done. Games and various other amusements oc- cupied the evening, and at a late hour a lunch was served. Those present were Elice Walker, Maude McCawley, Grace McCawley, Olive Miller, Josephine McCarty, Anna Klein, Cathryn MacGregor, Lizzie Erickson, Don Shannon, Alfred Moritz, John DeRushia, Fred Chamberlain, Claude McIver. Prof. W. Z." Robinson and Miss Dora Hanson acted as chaperons. District Court Adjourned. The February term of district court for Beltrami county was ad- journed yesterday afternoon by Judge McClenahan, a large number of cases having been disposed of during the past week. When the term was commenced there were a large number of cases that had been continued from other terms of court, and nothing but determined action on the part of Judge McClenahan could clear the calandar. Quite a number of the cases were tried, others were dismissed or settled, with’ the result that the calendar was cleared, with the exception of the tax cases, and Judge McClenahan announces that he will return May 10th and try these cases. The judge made many new friends at this term of court by the expedi- tious manner in which he conducted the term. He adheres to the prin- ciple of economy in conducting terms of court in this county, and his work during the term just closed was of a very commendable charac- ter. Railroad Work Progressing at Nakoda. ““The work of building the railroad from Nakoda Junction to the Black river country will be entirely com- pleted by June 1,” says M. D. Stoner, city engineer of Bemidji, who is building a road for the Backus- Brooks company connecting at Nakoda Junction, seven miles south of International Falls, with the M. & 1., Railway, and extending west- ward to the Black river, and which will be used for the purpose of hauling pulpwood and other timber from the Black river country to the large paper and sawmills which will be in operation at International Falls. Mr. Stoner stated yesterday that he already had two steam pile drivers at work on the bridges which will be built to span the Little Fork and the Big Fork rivers, and that the construction of the railway was being rushed as rapidly as possible; and that he expected to have six miles of the roadbed completed and ready for the laying of the steel on April 1. Selecting New Superintendent. The matter of selecting a super- intendent of the Bemidji schools for the next year has not yet been decided by the members of the Independent School District of Bemidji. At a meeting of the board held Tuesday evening a large number of applications for the position of superintendent were received and considered and the number was ‘“‘boiled down” to four, A com- mittee, consisting of Clerk G, M. Torrance and A. A, Warfield, was appointed to investigate the desir- ability of these four applicants and to report at a meeting which will be held Tuesday of next week, at which timz it 1s probable that some other selections-of teachers will also be made. Omer Gravelle Is Improving. John G. Morrison, Jr., came to the city this morning from Minne- apolis, where he had been to note the condition of his business partner, Omer Gravelle, who has been ill ata hospital in the “Mill City” for several months. Mr. Morrison states that Mr. Gravelle is improving nicely; that those in charge of the patient are now building up his constitution, and they expect to have him suffi- ciently well to allow his departure for Bemidji and his home at Red Lake, in the very near future. Mr. Morrison returned this after- noon to his home at Red Lake. Peculiar Address. Some very peculiar things hap- pen in a postoffice, and nothing is more interesting than many of the addresses that are placed on letters for the corps of helpers to decipher. An instance of the originality of addresses was shown yesterday, when a photographer who resides at Grand Forks sent a letter to ¢Post Mr,, Bemidji, Minn.,,” evi- dently having faith in the local postoffice to get the letter to the postmaster.

Townsend, Mont., March 10.—The lce gorges forming at various points along the Missouri river seriously en- danger the Northern Pacific railway and county bridges. They have raised the stream twenty-five feet at a time and the channel has changed at one place, causing drainage on two ranches and sweeping away an un- known number of cattle near here and are still threatening vast damage to property below this city. o The town of Canton, seven miles below here, is reported flooded with two feet of water, which is still ris- ing. Lands never known to be flooded before are engulfed. ARRESTS T0 BE MADE SHORTLY Seven Implicated in Twin City Insurance Frauds. LARGE SUM IS INVOLVED State Commissioner Hartigan Esti- mates That at Least a Million and a Half in Fraudulent Certificates Have Been Issued in the Past Two Years. Methods of Procedure Varied With Individual Cases. St. Paul, March 10.—At least $1, 500,000 is involved in the fraternal in- surance swindles which have been per- petrated in the Twin Cities during the last two years, according to John A. Hartigan, state insurance commission- er, and attorneys connected with the investigation which is now under way. Arrests of six men, and possibly one woman, who are said to compose the fraud syndicate, are promised not later than next Wednesday and nearly a hundred policyholders will be cited to appear and show why they should not be prosecuted for fraud within the next ten days. The policyholders are not believed to be guilty in many cases. Some of them did not know what they were doing when they applied for the poli- cies, falsely stating their ages. Often, as the attorneys for the insurance or- ders are willing to admit, the policy- holders did not know their own ages. Several fraternal insurance orders in St. Paul and Minneapolis are vic- tims of the syndicate. 'Those taking part in the investigation are the For- esters, Loyal Americans, Court of Honor, Loyal Mystic Legion of North America, Modern Samaritans, Knights of Security, Modern Woodmen, Wood- men of the World, and Knights and Ladies of the Maccabees. Attorney Refuses to Give Names. Although the collecting of evidence is made extremely difficult by the fact that many of those concerned can not speak English and ethers are so old that they have become childish, Attorney Harvey E. Hall, representing some of the insurance orders, through interpreters and with the aid of the state insurance commissioner and as- sistants from the attorney general’s office, has enough evidence to secure convictions, it is claimed. Mr. Hall refused to give out any names, saying that this would all come out when the ‘warrants were issued. The method of procedure of the swindlers has varied with individual cases. The most common method, however, was for the members of the syndicate to make themselves or their relatives beneficiaries and pay the premiums on people who were not only much older than the policy stated but often on the verge of death. It is claimed by the attorneys that people have been admitted into the various orders suffering from cancer and incurably ill. The examination for admittance" into the order was either “railroaded” by some of the of- ficers, or when it was found that mem- bers of the lodges became too inquisi- tive an examination of a healthy per- son was made and he was admitted under the name of some one likely to die in the near future. MAY YOHE SEEKING DIVORCE Former Actress Asks Separation From Putnam Bradlee Strong. Portland, Ore., March 10.—Under the name of Mary Augusta Strong, May Yohe (formerly Lady Hope and still more formerly of Dave Hender- son’s theatrical organization) is suing Putnam Bradlee Strong for a divorce. She alleges in the complaint that he deserted her in New York city Nov. 217, 1905. May Yohe has flashed across Port- land’s horizon periodically in the last few years. In 1907-08 she lived in a fashionable part of the city. Only a few months ago she was heard from in Seattle, where she bought a room- ing house and installed her mother in charge. Since March 4 she has been staying at the Portland hotel. IN HARRIMAN MERGER CASE Taking of Testimony Is Nearing Com- pletion. New York, March 10.—William Mahl, controller of the TTnion Pacific, was the final witness called before adjournment was taken in another phase of the complicated legal battle to dissolve the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific merger. Adjournment was taken until March 28, at which time the defense may put in additional tes timony, if desired, then the hearing will reconvene on April 14 to allow the government opportunity for rebut- tal. The government closed its direct case on June last and the original complaint was filed in Omaha two years ago after an investigation by the interstate commerce commission. THIRTY-SIX” PEOPLE INJURED Los Angeles Street Car Struck by Freight Train. ; Los Angeles, Cal, March 10.—Thir- ty-six persons were injured, some of them probably fatally, when an Oak Knoll car of the Pacific electric sys- tem was tossed from the track by the engine of a freight train on the Salt Lake route. i The electric car was crowded with people returning from the theaters. The car had been brought to a stop at the crossing of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Balt Lake tracks on Aliso street and then was started up again end was half way over the crossing when the freight train crashed into the read end of it, throwing it on its side and hurling the occupants through the windows and against the sides and roof of the car. Some were pinned underneath the car. FRANK J. GOULD. Said New York Millionaire Will Marry English Dancer. FRANK GOULD TO WED AGAIN Former Wife Recently Secured Divorce From Him. New York, March 10.—A cablegram was received by friends of Frank Gould, it is said, announcing that his marriage with Miss Edith Kelly, the knglish dancer, may be an event of the future. Mr. Gould’s friends sent him congratulatory messages on the report that he had wedded the little chorus girl in Europe. Mr. Gould is reported as saying in his cablegram that there will be no ceremony until permanent disposition is made regarding the two children by his former wife. ‘While the divorce proceedings were on Frank Gould met Miss Edith Kelly here and his attentions to her were very marked.
